Captain of BecaImed Vessel Was
Driven to Desperate Sacrifice,
But 1t Succeeded.

The ship had lain becalmed in a
tropical sea for three days. Not
breath of air stirred the mirror-like
surface of the sea and the sails hung
limp from the yards. like drapery
carved from marble.
The captain resolved to wait no
longer for wind. He piped all hands
on deck and requested all passengers
to come forward.
81 must ask all of you" he said. Ito
give me every match you have"
Wonderingly, all obeyed. The cap
tain collected every match on the
ship in this manner. Then he threw
them all overboard-all but one.
Then he took his pipe from his
pocket and filed it with tobacco. AS
crew and passengers looked breath
lessly on, he struck that one match
the only one aboard-and attempted
to light his pipe with 1t.
Instantly furious gale swept over
the deck. 1t extinguished the match.
but filed the sails and the good ship
plunged merrily forward on her course
again. The sacrifice had been awful.

WHY PEOPLE GO TO.
CANADA

Those who are wondering why the
number Of Americans going to Canada
year by year increases in tbs rates
that it does, would not be so surprised
were they to accompany one of the
numerous excursions that are being
run under the auspices of the Govern
ment from several of the states, and
remain with the settler until he gets
onto the free homesteads, which, as
stated by Speaker Champ Clark, in the
U. 5. senate the other day, comprises
$50 acres of the most fertile soil and
with remarkably easy settlement con-
ditions. Then watch the results,
whether it be on this free homestead
of 160 acres or on land which he may
purchase at from SIS. to $40. per acre,
fully as good as the 500. and $3.50.

which his means will not permit his
purchasing On the part Of the mem
bers of the u. S. Senate and Congress
there is nothing but praise for Canada.

though the reasonable desire is shown
in their remarks, that they pass legis-
1ation, (Which is very praiseWorthy)
that will make the land laws of the
United States much easier.
1t is the success of the American
settler in Canada that attracts others,
and when experiences such as the fol-
lowing are related to the friend back
home" is it any wonder that increased
interest is aroused and a determine
ton arrived at, to participate in the
new-found way up in Canada that
means wealth and health and all that
accompanies it.
William Johnston, who formerly
lived at Alexandria, Mimi, settled in
the Alberg District near Battle River
and in writing to one Of the Canadian
Government agents, located in the
United States says: 1--WE have had no

WHEREIN DADDY WAS WRONG
Tommy Resented Injustice Done to
Saw, After He Had Proved
Its Temper.

Mr.. A., who was planning to
build an outdoor sleeping porch at the
back of his house, had an expensive
new saw sent home from a hardware
store He left his office early the next
afternoon, with the intention of get
ting the porch well under way before
dinner; and, as he was very much in
terested in doing the work himself, he
donned a pair of overalls and went at
it in good spirits. An hour or so later
he came tramping into the house, his
face dark with evaporation, and flung
himself down in disgust.
"That new saw l bought isn't worth
cents" he stormed. why, the thing
won't cut butter!"
His small son Tommy looked up in
wide-eyed surprise.
"Oh, Yes, it would, daddy" he said,
earnestly; why, Ted and l sawed a
whole brick in two with it just this
morning! "-Harper's Magazine.

tense interest in religious philosophy,
ON which she has written a great deal
in letters, is so great that she has a
library devoted entirely to books on
the subject. In her travels in Eng
land and in Europe she has visited
old book shops and has collected old
Bibles, translations of the histories
written about the early Christians,
works in pen by the old monks. She
usually has had with her a connois-
seur on such books and also has en-
ployed scholars to translate the books
to her and to discuss with her the
meanings of the different writer's. For

that temple there's an idol, Buddha
of pure gold, it's said. 1t would be a
perfectly good Buddha. only that it

Pool Of Flame belongs-or come from.
In the old days the natives called this
stone the Luck of the State, and
maybe they were right; for when it
disappeared the state became a Brit

In the war of 'eighty-fve. says the

British troops out of touch with their
command, happened upon this temple
we're speaking of and took it, dispos-
sessing priests and populace without
so much as a days notice. The officer
in command happened to see this eye
in the Buddha's forehead, pried it out
and put it in his pocket. In less than
an hour the natives surrounded the
temple and attacked in force The
British stood them off for three days
and then were relieved; but in the
meantime the officer had been killed
and the Pool Of Flame had vanished.
For several years it stayed
quiet, so far as is known. Then the
curse of the thing began to work, and
it came to the surface In a drunken
brawl in the slums of Port Said. The
police, breaking into some dive to
stop row, found nobody in the place
but dead Greek; they say twas a
shambles. One of the police found the

He was murdered some months

was in Sidi Bel Abbas one night, off

place. He thought he recognized a
comrades voice, and surely enough,
when he ran down to aid him, he
found Dutchman, man of his own
regiment, fighting with half dozen
natives. He was about done for, the
Dutchman, when the O'Mahoney came

Rash ALL OVER BABY'S BODY
ItChed SO He Could Not Sleep

ION July 81, 1909, we left Boston for
a trip to England and Ireland, taking
baby with us. After being in Ireland
a few days a nasty rash. came out all
over his body. We took him to a doc
tor who gave us medicine for him.
The trouble started in the form of a
rash and was all over bahy's body,
head and face, at different times. 1t
irritated, and he would scratch it with
all his might. The consequence was
it developed into sores, and we were
afraid it would leave nasty scars On
his face.
when we reached England we took
baby to another doctor, who said his
condition was due to change of food
The rash got no better, and it used to
itch and burn at night so bad that the
child could not sleep. He was COM
pletely covered with it at different
times. 1t was at this time that my
mother advised us to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment After using Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for
about nine months the places disap-
peared. There are not any scars, or
other kind of Disagreement, and baby
is completely cured by the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. We have no fur
