Paid Minister in 1infoii.

The meanest man in the world has
been found. He is the man who gave
the Rev. Thilo Gore, pastor of the
German Lutheran church, an envelope
filed with tinfoil for marrying him.
The bride and groom rang DR..
Cores doorbell late one night and
asked him to marry them. AS they
had license, he did SO. After the
ceremony was performed the man
handed the minister an envelope
which was supposed to contain the
fee. He found it contained nothing
but several pieces of tinfoil.-Chicago

WESTERN CANADA'S
PROSPERITY
NOT A BOOM, BUT DUE TO NAT.
URAL DEVELOPMENT.

One Of the largest banks in Holland
ms been doing big business in
Western Canada, and Mr.. w. Wester-
man, the President, on recent visit
into the Provinces of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta, expressed
himself as being much impressed with
present conditions and prospects, anc
was convinced that the great pros
perity Of the Dominion was not a
boom, but merely the outcome OF nat
ur2l developments.
Not only has money been invested
largely in Western Canada by the
Holland Banks, but by those of Ger
many, France, as well as Great Brit
ain. Not only are these countries con-
tributing money, but they are also
contributing people, hard headed, in
dnstrious farmers, who are helping to
produce the two hundred million BUSH
els of wheat and the three hundred
million bushels Of the other small
grains that the Provinces of the
West have harvested this season.
During the past fiscal year there
came into Canada from the United
States 1870; from Austria Hungary
21,651; from Belgium 1901; Holland
1;O77; France 1904; Germany 1864;
Sweden 1894; Norway 1892; and
from all countries the immigration to
Canada in that year was 354,237.
From the United States and foreign
countries the figures will be increased
during the present year.
Most of these people have gone to
the farms, and it is no far look to the
time when the prophecy will be full

PEACE THREATENED

The peace in the anthracite fields
in Pennsylvania is threatened by the
determination of the union leaders to
force coal companies to permit none
but union men to do repair work at
the colieries.
This request has forced the ope-
rators to threaten a disruption or
peace because they allegc the demand
is in open violation Of the rulings OF
the coal strike commission, which de-
clarcd against such determination.
The coal companies claim that union
leaders are breaking the peace rules
which they publicly asked and which
the companies were willing to accept
during the length of the suspension.
From the statements of different
operators it is plain that parting
of the ways is at hand, and that an
omen break may occur at any moment.
Ike operators areDitterly opposing
the act of the mine leaders III placing
pickcts without their colicries for the
purpose of getting men into the orga-
nization.
Threats have been made by the OPP
orators that unless the leaders OF tho
union withdraw from the position they
have taken on the matter the compan
les will force a suspension on the mel
after peace has been declared.
The operators are determined TO op
pose recognition of the union lii an!

LONGEVITY Calculations.

According to Button. the life OF man
can" last six times as long as II takes
him to become fully developed; &C
cording to Bacon and Hufiand, eight
times as long. Now, since man is not
considered in the anatomical sense
completely mature before the twenty
fifth year Of age. his life, according to
the last named two authorities.
could last 200 years. But. as mat
ter Of fact. outside the Bible, there is
no record whatever OF such long lives.
Among the extraordinary cases OF long
svity on record and we'll attested is
that OF the Englishman, Thomas Parr.
who lived happily at Shropshire to
the age of 1852 years. The celebrated
Harvey, who dissected him after death.
found his body in excellent condition.
and stated that had it. not been for
bis intemperance he might have lived
much longer. A census taken under
Emperor Vespassin showed In tina
relatively small territory OF Italy
alone 80 persons over 100 years old.
and among these are two had reach
ed the age Of 40. The census OF the
United States for 1900 shows 1891
centenarians, and that for 1910 3.60t
(males 1,271, females, 2.SSS). These
asures have only dubious value, and
merely because the vanity OF sons
old people causes them to claim their
age much higher han IT really Is.
but for the fact that the majority OF
these centenariaus are ignorant per-
sons (2.5S3 negroes, III Indians and
,hree Mongolians). whose statements
as to their ages cannot be relied upon.

WEEKS HAPPENINGS IN

In the council house of Seminole
Tribe No. IS, Improved Order Of Red
Men, on last Tuesday night there was
held a most pleasant social session of
Scmilole Tribe and Silver Moon Coun-
ell No. 26, Degree of Pocahontas. The
Joint council was held in honor of
Messrs. A. G. Uhler, Jr., and Arthur
Dawson, who on yesterday left the
hunting grounds of this city for those
of Pittsburg and New York respect
lively, where they will in the future
pitch their tepees. At this session,
many fond wishes for their future
welfare was expressed by those
present, and hopes expressed that in
their new fields of labor they will
find many true followers of the tote
mic bond who would in part at least
compensate for the severing of the
strong bonds of friendship which they
were giving up in these grand old
hunting grounds. After the qucnch-
ing of the council fire refreshments
were served.
