COULDN'T CORNER THE QUAcK

Into and Squirmine Out of ES-
ceedingly Tight Places.

A correspondent of the Lancet tells
of a man who, when he went to a
"quack' and complained of a sharp
pain in the loins after sitting on damp
grass for some hours, during which
he frequently sucked the point of the
lead pencil with which he was writ
ing, was told that he was suffering
from "plumbism. and given some
pills. The next day he returned to
the "quack" and said:
You told me l had 'plumbism.
which is lead poisoning. and ! now
find there is no lead in lead pencils,
only graphite of plumbago."
oh" replied the "quack." airily.
did | say plumbism is the cause OF
your lumbism? / meant to have said
plumbago is the cause of your lum-
bago"

THOUSANDS OF
AVAILABLE HOMESTEADS
Western Canada'S Homestead
Area Being Increased.

The great rush for homesteads
whenever a reservation is opened by
the U. S. government reveals the fact
that there is a great desire on the
part of the American people to get
land. The fact that tens of thousands
are on hand at every opening, and on
~ a few hundred homesteads are
available shows that the avail
able agricultural lands which are
in the gift of the government aye rap
idly diminishing. In addition to this
agricultural lands that are of proved
value have advanced in price to such
an extent that It becomes a serious
question to the man with moderate
means who intends to go into farming,
where he shall go. Fortunately there
is yet to be had in Western Canada,
either in Manitoba, Saskatchewan or
Alberta, thousands of free homesteads
of 100 acres each, which may be had,
by the simple process of filing, paying
a ten dollar entrance fee, and living on
it for six months each year for three
years. There is no necessity to make
long. tedious and expensive journey,
only to find you have one chance in
fifty of getting what you want AL
though this holnesteading has been
going on in Canada for a number OF
years, and hundreds of thousands Of
them have been taken by hundreds of
thousands of Americans, there re-
mains sufficient to last for some time,
and of as good land as any that has
yet been taken up. In fact, in the
opinion of very many, those that are
left are of the best They comprise
lands that give the opportunity to in
dulge in the growing of grain, wheth.
er it be wheat, oats, barley or fax,
but in addition these lands are admir-.
ably adapted for mixed farming, a
class of farming that is certain to give
better returns than that of all grain
growing. Cattle thrive and fatten on
the nutritious grasses; dairying can
be carried on successfully; timber for
building is within reach. and water Is
easy to get. These lands are located
! in the park districts of any of the
three provinces; groves of trees in
tersperse the landscape and give it a
beauty that can only be attained in
the more open prairie sections by the
| planting of trees. Tree culture by the
way is being carried on to a great ex-
tent. Besides these free grant lands
there are lands which may be had by
purchasing from railways and private
companies and individuals. These
lands have not increased in price as
their productive qualities and their 10.
cation might have warranted, and may
still be had at reasonably low prices
and on easy terms. The crop in West.
ern Canada in 1913 was one of the
best of the number of good crops that
that country has raised. Wheat has
been reported with yields of from 30
to As bushels per acre, and other grain
with like heavy yields.-Advertise-

Sir Robert Ball.

In the death of Sir Robert Ball at
the age of seventy-three science loses
one of those rare interpreters who
bring her wonders within the compre-
hension of the multitude. Like the
late Lord Avebury (Slr John Lub-
bock), Sir Robert Ball had n faculty
for simple writing which he employ
ed in the production of such works
as THE Story of the Heavens, Star
land" 'In Starry Realms" and I'm
the High Heavens" These books prob
ably did more than any others Of the
kind to Emulate the study OF astron-
omy and make it popular. The people
of this generation owe a large debt
to Sir Robert Ball. The debt was
freely acknowledged in his own coun-
try, where he received substantial rec
ognition from the government, from
scientific societies, from schools and
universities. 1t has been less freely
but still sufficiently acknowledged In
this country. where his books have
sold well. and where he was a most
welcome and appreciated guest on
more than one occasion. Brooklyn

bye to you"
The convict stepped out of his cell
and followed the head warder obedi-
entity Three years of discipline had
taught him to ask no questions, to
demand no reasons. He hardly dared
to hope that the pardon board had
granted his petition.
""Tention! Eyes front, said the
head warder mechanically, and the
convict mechanically obeyed. But the
governor stretched out his hand and
took the convict's in hearty clasp.

you your freedom, Graves" he said.

last monthly meeting. | know that

shouldn't, remember that the dishonor

be just so much harder for the rest of

missive to the prisoner.
Graves read it and the governor
watched him curiously. The young
fellow had impressed him favorably
ever since he had entered the peniten-
tiary three years. before TO serve a
first sentence for forgery. He had
been a model prisoner; but he seemed
-curiously hard. Even now he seemed
unaffected either by the letter or by
his release. He folded the missive
and put it in the handkerchief pocket
of his serge tunic.
Yes, sir, III run straight in future.
he answered.
Good" answered the governor.
And my advice to you is. go home to
your mother. You have about thirty
seven dollars coming to you. Go
home. face the world in your home
town, be a man and begin your life
anew. You will find people kinder
than you imagine Good morning"
He grasped the prisoners hand
again and dismissed him. Graves
went out subdued and deferential

" unmoved. The governor shook his
head as he watched him pass through
the doorway.
