CANADA'S PROSPERITY.

The New York Times of March %,
1912, in an article dealing with Cana
da's progress, says:
"At the present moment eight ship
loads of European immigrants are
afloat for Canada, while there are
signs that the outward movement
which is customary with us during
labor troubles will be marked this
year. There is no such startling rec
ord Of our loss to Canada. Our citi-
zens quietly slip over the border in
groups or trainloads, but their going
is not advertised.
There is no mystery Why Canada
is the good thing the United States
used to be. 1t is because Canada is
following in it's neighbours footsteps
that it is repeating the fortunate eX-
perience which it's neighbor is envy
ing, even while deliberately turning
it's back on the teachings Of the past,
A fortnight ago the Dominion budget
speech reported the unprecedented
surplus of s39,O00,000 and on Thurs
day the Government passed through
the Committee on Supply credits Of
S3S,0O0,000 for railways and canals.
With this assistance the railways
themselves are both enabled and COM
PEELED to increase their facilities. Ac-
cordingly we find a single road allot-
ting ten millions for work Of its own.
Naturally the Canadian newspapers
contain announcements calling for
fifty thousand men for construction
work. This influx is apart from those
Americans who go with money in their
pockets obtained by cashing in their
high-priced American lands.
"a ST. Paul dispatch says that with
in a fortnight two thousand carloads
of farm animals and machinery have
passed toward Canada, the property
of men who expect to pay for their
farms with the first crop"

Simplest WAY of All.

The following story the Saturday
Evening Post says is told of Col.
George w. Goethals, who at the time
it took place was an instructor in en-
gineering at West Point.
One day, in a recitation he gave out
this question to a class of cadets:
The post fiagpole, sixty feet high,
has fallen down. You are ordered by
your commanding officer to put it up
again You have under your command
a sergeant and ten privates Of the en-
gineer corps. How would you get the
pole back into place."
Each cadet, after long consideration
and much figuring over the derricks,
blocks, tackle and so on, evolved a
different method.
NO." said Goethals, you are all
wrong. You would simply say: Ser
geant, put up that fiagpole!'"

But he was i'll at ease in his new
quarters. His brother and his broth
er's wife and his gay young nieces
and nephews wondered to see him sit
in moody silence and to hear him pace
the floor of his room until far into the
night. Then one morning his room
in his brothers luxurious home was
found empty. The inspector had
packed his things and gone back to
Miss Murray's in the night.
AS model boarding house keeper
Miss Murray was no accident. She
fitted herself by years of study, expert
ment and hard work. In her old age
she is able to formulate certain rules
which, she says, if lived up to rigidly
will enable other boarding house keep
ers to achieve success. Here are
some of the rules:
Give everybody plenty to eat.
Make the food plain and good
Make the table and house homelike
Don't run too much to style. A man
would rather have thick, juicy beef
Steak than cut glass and fancy sill
yer.
Put everything on the table at once
and let the boarders help themselves.
Try to Please Them.
Cater to individual appetites. If
one wants his steak we'll done and
another wants it rare. cook their
steaks separately.
Do your own marketing and make
marketing study.
Make good coffee. Bad coffee has
been responsible for more boarding
house failures than any other one
thing.
Have specialties in cooking-dishes
that you cook differently from any
body else and that your boarders can
not get anywhere except at your own
table.
Do your own cooking.
Have your table linen and dishes
specklessly clean.
Never serve any dish that is not as
good as you know how to make it. II
slightly burned or faulty in any re-
spect, throw it away.
Have plenty of hot water In the
house at all times.
Have a certain hour for meals. and
serve them promptly on the hour.
Keep your rooms clean. and have
plenty of bedclothes In cold weather
Have all men as your boarders or
all women. Never try to mix men
and women. AS boarders they won't
mix. Men are preferable.
Mother your men. Darn their socks
and sew their buttons on, keep their
clothes in repair, and attend to their
laundry.

house keeper has retired from
" business after conducting a
boarding house for so years.
She is eighty years old, and has as
much money as she needs to keep her

old, some were wealthy and all were
well-to-do They had been her board
ers for terms ranging from Is to As
years.
On that occasion, these boarders
toasted their retiring landlady in cof-
"the paragon of boarding house keep
ers," the most wonderful boarding
house keeper in the world" and the
best boarding house keeper in all his
tory"
There are no statistics on boarding
house keepers to test the exact truth
of these encomiums. But the facts in
the case would seem to prove beyond
cavil that, even If Mrs. Murray were
not the best boarding house keeper in
history, she at least is to be number
ed among the chosen few.
Boarders Seldom Left Her.
One may best Judge the hold she
had upon her boarders by the term of
years each one has been with her.
Here is the list of her boarders and
the number of years each stayed:
Case Stewart, official of the Chica-
go & Northwestern railway, who be-
came boarder with Miss Murray be-
fore the Chicago fire, 45 years.
Inspector John Wheeler of the Chi
cago police department, who became
a boarder when he was a patrolman,
"a years.
Neil Mcintyre, architect, 20 years.
Edward Cooney, policeman, &c years.
John Cassidy of the Central Trust
company of Illinois, % years.
Daniel O'Connor, broker, 20 years.
Timothy Daley, policeman, IS years.
Michael Daley, his son, seventeen
years old, Is years.
Edward Beal, buyer for a depart
ment store, 15 years.
DR.. W. A. Quinn, IS years.
DR.. William H. Mccarthy, 16 years.
Frank Hoy, 15 years.
Samuel Wilson, 10 years.
DR.. Charles W. Imwall, Is years.
One perhaps might wonder why
there was no boarder who had been
with her throughout the full so years
she kept boarding house. Miss Muir
nv explained this at the banquet.
Michael O'Flaherty," she remark
ed. feelingly, was my first boarder.
never knew a man who liked good
coffee so we'll or could eat so much
boiled ham as O'Flaherty. He sat at
my table three times day for 80
years. 1t was through no fault of his
own that he quit me. He died, poor
man"
The food served at Miss Murray's
table seems to have woven sort OF
HYPNOTIC spell about her boarders.
Some of them went away-or tried to
and in every instance they came
duttering back like fascinated birds.

SAD ACCIDENT NEAR
ARKALON
James Mccoy Fatally Injured
by Explosion of Shot Gun

Last Sunday, S. S. Mccoy,
who is a section foreman on the
Rock Island near Liberal, went to
Arkalon to spend the day with II.
d. Norris, and was accompanied
py bis son, James aud Archie
Mathews. They took their shot
guns along to enjoy duck hunting
on the Oimarron near Arkalon.
During the hunt the boys were to-
gether, and after bagging some
game, came to the bridge and one
of them suggested laying down
their guns and throwing snow
balls in the river. James was
carrying his gun over his shoulder
and as he laid it on the ground,
the trigger in some way pulled
back and when striking the ground
discharged, the contents entered
his body Just above the right hin
and passed out near the back bone,
The boy instantly realized that he
was injured and exclaimed: Il
am shot, "and fell back. He re-
covered himself and with the as
sistance of Archie, walked con-
siderable. distance, until his
strength gave out, when Archie
made him as comfortable as he
could and rushed for help. His
father was with Mr.. Norris at
the depot, waiting for the boys.
They carried him to Arkalon, and
brought him to Liberal on the
first train. Medical aid was at
once summoned, but nothing
could be done to save him. He
passed away Monday morning at
9:15 o'clock.
When the sad news reached the
city schools the students were so
overcome with grief at the loss of
their friend and fellow student that
the schools were closed Monday
afternoon and Tuesday.
James William Mccoy, the son
of Sherman Sand Maggie Mccoy,
was born in Lone Elm, Kansas, on
April 26, 1897, and died at bis
home in Liberal, March 25. 1912,
aged IA years, 10 months and 29l

The pupils and teachers OF the city
school were shocked Monday morning
to learn of the accidental shooting OF
their loved fellow student and pupil,
James Mccoy. Owing to the depres-
sion among the pupils and out of re-
spect to James, the High School was
closed Monday afternoon and Tues
day morning.
We, teachers and schoOlmates, were
glad to haye known such boy, en-
ergetic, bright, enthusiastic as a
pupil, loyal, kind and cheerful as a
playmate, we loved the boy, so manly
and noble, with such promise for the
future, and sadder still is it to know
that he himself, even in his youth,
was attempting and expecting great
things with eye toward the future,
when he hoped to be man."
The Olow fell heavily upon Roscoe
Carson, his school mate and chum for
years.
The funeral service was held at the
Methodist Church, Rev. Ward con-

Of flowers and the reverent tear STAIN

pupils shows in a measure how we
loved him.

US sad, we miss the boy. What better
can we say Of him than the words
ever on the lips of his young friends
Everybody loved the lad"
1t was an inspiration to his former
teacher to sit by his bedside during
the last few moments OF his life and
see his calmness, tenacity and
for others especially
for his mother.
