MURIEL'S HOLIDAY
1t Was Enforced, but Brought
Happiness Instead of Ex-
pected Sorrow.
BY AUGUSTUS GOODRICH SHER-
WIN

With clang great gate went shut,
and shrill whistle and the harsh
boom of bell told that the giant fac
tory had begun the noisy grind of the
business of the day. The inflexible
rule Of the plant was applied on the
exact second--the worker who was
not inside the walled grounds on the
stroke of seven need not apply for
admission until the next morning.
Half a dozen scurrying men and
women had crossed the dividing line,
grazed and all but knocked PROSTATE
by the sliding barrier A pretty, neat
ly appafeled girl reached the gate to
grasp it's handle just as the lock shut.
A young man, hurrying too, halted
with a shrug of his shoulders, one-half
dismayed, e,ne-half resigned These
two were smut out. Others came stray
Cling alotsg in the distance, but turned
about ard retraced their way home
wards, realizing the futifity of seeking
admitta1ce.
While Sidney Harper, stock clerk,
took the forced jdleness of a day rath-
er ind1fferently, in fact with rather a
sense of enjoyable novelty, Muriel
Hope employed In the office of the big
works, paled and her lips quivered. A
sigh that was a COB but half sup
pressed left her lips. Her eyes filed
with tears, and with a Respondent
step she started slowly from the spot
Sidney Harper construed Alright the
girls deep concern, and his sympathy
was awakened. He was a man VINO
had steeled himself against pity, but
he could not help but be Interested. He
knew that low wages and ceaseless
work held most of the employees of
the works bound like slaves to a
wheel. With many of them the loss
of a day meant the loss of some other
days meals. Then a memory of a
dark passage in his life that had made
him a lonely, resentful being on the
fair threshold of manhood, caused him
to crowd back his interest in the girl
Once he had loved. 1t was all over

Delicious PUDDING,

If fruit cake should fall in baking
1t is too good to throw away. Soak
the fruit cake in cold milk, enough to
cover it, break it all up fine, put in
little saleratus, more fruit if you
wish. Grease cocoa cans or dried
beef jars with covers, fill about two
thirds full, put on the covers and put
into the bottom Of a double boiler
turn in boiling water till it comes to
about an inch of the top OF the cans
and keep water boiling three hours
Serve with any good sauce that you
would use for plum pudding.

CORN STALKS MADE CEILING
Weary Traveller Slept SoundIy Amid
Primitive Surroundings in "HoteI"
in Mexico.

A tourist who was tramping over
Mexico last year was put up" for a
night at lazy, rickety little shack
that was called hotel. 1t was in the
country, in the northern part of Nuevo
Leon state.
AT that hotel the tourist said. "the
old stage joke about stopping on the
outside was no joke at all. Very much
travel-worn, / arrived late in the af-
ternoon. There were only two rooms
in the posada, meaning in Mexico
the hotel-a large dining room, and a
much smaller side room, which was

ed in advance with such a flourish of
courtesy that l could not hesitate. l
spent several perturbed moments, off
and on, wondering where | was to
sleep. However, there were three 9th
er guests Mexican, who did not ap-
pear to be worrying so l tried to be
patient.
Supper, an affair of lots of pepper
and little food, was served by the
proprietor's wife. Shortly after night
fall the proprietor, with much bowling
and gesturing and Senior Americana
ing, signified to me that he would
take pleasure in assigning me to my
room. | followed him-out of the ho-
tel and into a small corn patch behind
the building.
In corn row, at spot where the
overlapping top blades we're thick
enough to form a canopy that was at
least dewproof, my landlord halted and
pointed to an old blanket which had
been spread in the hollow between
the rows, and, bowling and Senoring
some more, commended me to the
care of the saints and departed.
That was my room. There was an
old frayed mat for pillow and di-
lapidated blanket for covering

dry and warm, and having been re-
Gently hoed, was not hard; and being
dead tired | turned in at once and had

1000 SETTLERS A DAY
WESTERN CANADA MAKING RE.
MARkABLE PROGRESS.

Settlers from the United Kingdom
and other countries of Europe landed
in Winnipeg last week at the rate of
one thousand a day. The predicted
boom in the populating of the prairie
provinces this spring has material
lied, as it did last year, and today the
busiest city in America is probably
the Manitoba metropolis.
The sturdy nations of Europe are
all contributing to the rapid growth
of Canada West. Two of the largest
contingents reaching Winnipeg last
week were from Germany and Scan
dinavia
The British Isles are sending out
larger contingents than ever before.
The old land newspapers are filled
with accounts of send-offs and fare
wells being given to popular towns
folk on the eve of departure for Can
ada
Numerous editorials record the SEN
timents, bordering on despair, of the
Britols who see their towns and vii
lagos desolated by the desertion of
favorite sons and daughters. We can
sympathize with those left behind
while felicitating the young people
who have their own way to make in
the world, on their new opportunities
In the country Of mammoth crops.
Scotland lost 5000 of her best
blood and Drawn in single week this
month. No wonder the young, aspir-
ing Scots take so quickly to Canada.
They have been reading of the tri-
umphs and wonder working of Scot
fish pioneers in the Dominion ever
since they we're "bairns'' A great
part of Canada's success was wrought
by Canadians from Caledonia, and the
young Caledonians of today are eager
to demonstrate that they can do as
well out west as their forebears.
In addition to those from the old
countries, the United States still
keeps up in a strenuous manner, and
is sending it's thousands into that new
country of the north. They take up
the free homesteads of 100 acres on
which they live for six months of
each year for three years, and then
get deed or patent for a farm that
is worth anywhere from SIS to $40
per acre, or, they may purchase lands
at from SIS to $18 per acre that will
yield with proper care in cultivation,
excellent returns for the time, work
and money Observation-Disclosures.

German Princes Wanderjahr.

The prince of Wales might possibly
enjoy his German trip still better if
be could view the country in the I'M
conventional way followed by the
German crown prince and his broth
ers. Like all the Hohenzollerns, the
kaiser's sons were taught trades, and
their father also allowed them to taste
the delights of the "wanderjahr,"
which still forms part of the education
of most German artisans.
In the case of the young princes
the year was split up over several sue
cessive summer holidays. which they
spent tramping through Germany,
knapsack on back, and sleeping at
roadside inns. They travelled without
a servant, accompanied only by their
military governor, Colonel Won Falken-
heyn, and were scarcely ever recog-
nized

he burst in at the door.

nodded assent. Well" he continued,

Electricity and Plant Life.

The theory has been advanced and
backed up by experiments which are
at least interesting, that pointed
leaves standing up at the top of grow
ing plants attract electricity from the
atmosphere and that such electric
forces aid materially in the growth of
plants SO equipped by nature. One in
vestigator, r. E. Dinick of Almena,
Wis, reports that vegetables which
were well cultivated have shown a
smaller growth than the normal when
they had pointed wires stuck up
among them to act like lightning rods
in drawing off the electricity which
Mr.. Dimick believes to be attracted
by points and needfui to plant life.

Dictatinq to Women.

Women, according to an edict in the
Chinese government, are to wear Eu-
ropean hats. but otherwise retain their
customary dress, with certain modifica-
tons. 1t is prophesied that there will
be revolt at the edict, because women
in China as elsewhere, have grown
weary of having men undertake to de-
eide for them in matters of dress, mat
tiers of food, matters of morals and
matters of government.

Sport in a new form now appeals to
a New Zealand farmer. Driving in a
motor car with two powerful head
lights, he bags nightly between six

so fascinated by the glare of the
lamps that they become stationary

Capt. Larry Doyle of the Giants is
sure to be a most prominent player In
the coming worlds series. He cannot
help it. The fighting spirit is in him
and he S invariably at his best when
there a battle on with importance
surrounding it that the contests for
the biggest thing in baseball always
produces.
OF splendid ability as a ball player
both physically and mentally, Larry
is exactly fitted to take a successful
part in the exciting scenes. Their is
no player on either the Giants of Ath-
letics who is quicker to see and ad-
vantage of more daring in making
an attempt to gain a point.
He plays for his team always and
never forgets to abide by orders, but
his quickness OF perception enables
him to use his individuality when Al
occasion presents itself that warrants
hims in using his own judgement, and
allow me to whisper, that same adapt
ability seldom fails him when the
pinch times bob up,
Doyle is one of thee best base run
ners in the business, although others
may excel him in the number of stoler
bases: but it is his wonderful quick
fitness of thought and action on the
spur of the moment, when he has tt
think for himself, that makes him one
of the ost dangerous Of players on ag
gressive tactics

An Atchison woman visited
lately in a home where the menu
bers of the family acted superior
because they slept on a sleeping
porch. They looked shocked when
the Atchison woman insisted on
sleeping indoors, and the hostess

funny to want to breathe the stuff
fly air of house when we have
such a big roomy sleeping porch,
