Embarrassing Situation

Canada, which has for years been drum
ming up immigrants wherever they could
be found is now receiving such food of
them that the situation has become en-
harrassing. Because of too rapid devel-
opment the financial condition of the
Dominion is anything but satisfactory,
and in the far Western provinces the COL
lapse of the land booms, which also
effects the cities. has left thousands of
men stranded and without work. AS a
consequence the Canadian government
now warns all those in the old country
vito may think of leaving for the new,
that farmers, farm laborers and female
domestic servants are the only people
whom the Canadian immigration depar
ment advises to go to Canada" Every
body else is advised to keep away unless
assured of a job or well supplied with

MUSTAcHES OF ALL SORTS
Wide Variety Noted in That Particu.
lar Branch of Mans Facial
"Adornment."

A mustache is what you choose to
make it. Almost every man has the
raw materials at his command, and
he can cut them or cuddle them as
he sees fit. Some men beat their
mustaches savagely back into their
upper lips, refusing them growth,
shave them remorselessly once or
twice a day and never let hair of
them see the light of day.
Other men coax and cajole their
mustaches to emerge, pet them, PAM
per them, protect them and view the
resultant hirsute effects in the light
of artistic achievements.
But not all mustaches are artistic.
Some are stubby and some are scrag-
ely and some are simply unmowed
hair. Now and again we encounter
a work of superior excellence, an ac-
omplishment in mustache making, a
feat in facial foliage. - Saturday

LORD ROBERTS, GHOST STORY

Dream of Coming Death of
His Daughter.

Lord Roberts records a remark
able case of the warning dream. In
October, 1853, his father, to whom
he was acting A. D. G. at Peshawar,
had issued invitations for a dance.
Two days before it was to take place
he was silent and respondent during
breakfast, and eventually told his
son that he had had an unpleasant
dream, which had visited him several
times before and had always been fol-
lowed by the death of q near relation.
As the day fore on his depression
grew, and he wanted to put off the
dance. His son dissuaded him, but
that night the dream returned, and
the dance was then postponed. "The
next morning the post brought
news of the sudden death of my half
sister at Lahore, with whom 1 had
stayed on my way to Peshawar."

SEEKS OUT FRUIT NOVELTIES
Government Investigator Has More
Fascinating Sport Than the Hunt
ing of Wild Animals.

Hunting wild animals may be all
right so far as it goes, but how much
more romance and how much more
romance and how much more value
to the world there is in hunting for
wild vegetables and plants which can
be made use of for the benefit of
humanity. F. N. Meyer, the gov
eminent agricultural explorer, has
started on another trip to China and
Siberia in search for new fruit nov
elites which can be introduced into
this country. He will be gone three
years, and during that time will
travel with his own caravan in the
widest parts of eastern Asia.
Whenever he hears Of a remark
able fruit he will follow it up and
get seeds or cuttings from the tree.
This will be sent to Washington for
propagation and study. Owing to
the great distance 1t IS very difficult
to make scions or cuttings preserve
their vitality so they can be made to
grow. One Of the objects of this long
journey is to procure cuttings of the
famous Felt Ching peach of China.
This peach grows so that it weighs
as much as three pounds. On for
mer trip Mr.. Meyer got cuttings
from it, but they refused to live
when grated on American stock.
Stones from the peaches have been
planted, but there is little hope from
them, for peach seedlings seldom
come true to variety or are of much
merit.-Pathfnder.

Hints For Hunters

| The Vermonter who was shot by mis-
take for a gray squirrel will not it is
| hoped be the forerunner of others mis-
taken for deer. Some seaso1able hints
are given by the Portland Press. of which
| the first and not the least in Importance
is to avoid the companionship of hunter
who insists on carrying whiskey bottle
and a shotgun, This is combination
that not infrequently leads to trouble in
Vermont as well as in Maine. Some
hunters are at times seemingly forgetful
of the fact that the property of farmers
and other real estate owners, where game
is sought, is of value. Always avoid
shooting a shotgun or rifle if there is any
possibility of injuring human beings or
domestic animals the Press says. If a.
rabbit hides in stone wall don't tear
the wall down to secure your prey. Never
cut wire fences and avoid breaking posts
or rails when climbing fences. If you
open gates or let down bars, always shut
and fasten the gates and replace the bars,
as you found them. Avoid at all times
when in the woods, thickers, or old slash !
ings, starting fires which if allowed to
get beyond contiol may cause serious loss
to timber and other property. Don't |
throw lighted matches or burning stumps
of cigars or cigarettes among dead leaves
or in dried grass. Incidentally. where
possible, it is pretty good plan to secure
permission from property owners or ten
ants before invading their game preserves. I

DOGS ON BASEBALL FIELDS
Writer Throws Out Suggestion for
Which Apparently He Desires
No Pecuniary Reward.

A funny case of interest to the
fans at large was decided recently
out in the middle west. According
to the story the Terre Haute club
of the Central league protested a
game played late in June in Fort
Wayne with the local team, because
Great Dane dog chased Manager
Anderson as he was attempting to
field ball, and forced him to climb
fence. Fort Wayne won the con-
test, and though the members of that
ball club protesteb that the canine
was not on their payroll, the pro-
test was filed. After due delibera-
ton President Heilbroner of the
Central league turned down the pro-
test, ruling that the dog did not
cause the loss of the game. If it
were a sure thing that this decision
would hold throughout the country
it might furnish a new line of en-
deavor for some of our foxy little
managers in the major leagues.
Large, husky, able-bodied dogs might
be trained, upon signal, to give chase
to visiting players attempting to re-
cover the ball after long hits and
force them to seek safety in the
bleachers or over the center field
fences. The animals could be taken
upon the fields under the plea that
they were "mascots," and kept on the
players benches until such times as
it was decided necessary to call upon
them for service. Weekly.

A REVENUE PLAN.
Fee for Transfer of All Bonds Would
Be WoWrth S25O,OOO to State.

State officials have plan under con-
sideration that will bring a revenue of
not less than quarter of a million
dollars annually to the state if it is
approved by the attorney general and
can be enacted into law at the next
session of the legislature. The plan re-
quires a complete record of all the
city. county and school bonds sold in
Kansas and would make it mandatory
that a fee be deposited with the state
trea surer in each case of a transfer.
The revenue would amount to at least
$3.50 600 is the estimate.
1t is believed that a record should
be kept of the bonds sold by munich
palites counties and school districts
in Kansas, and it is as important to
have a statement of bonds on hand as
it is to maintain the records of real
estate and personal property in the
hands of county officials. -t--.
The plan, though in the embryo
stage. would require a notice of trans
fer every time a bond changes hands.
The usual registration at the Office of
the state auditor would not be disturb
ed After a bond is delivered to
bond broker, however, it is lost to the
municipality in charge. Under the
Akers scheme it would be recorded
through books operated in the office or
the state treasurer. When man wish
ed to sell his bond or transfer it the de-
post of a small fee with the state
treas urer would be necessary.

its boycott of the port. The tenders
provided We're antiquated boats. They
pitched in the heavy swell, causing
much discomfort to the passengers. By
the time they got outside the harbor
the shippers declared that the sea was
too dangerous for a transfer.
After brief stay in the vicinity of

smoother water inside of Roches' point.

follow them there. After waiting two
