Mrs. Standish blushed deeply. "This
is outrageous" she said. Il can ap-

Oh, dear, I wish the car wasn't so
crowded so I could get out there. Tell

Practicinu Forethought.

Forethought looks beyond the OBJ
stacle to ultimate results. 1t reaches
out constructively for a way to get
over, through or around that which
binders the realization of its object
Forethought, when exercised, de-
velops the imagination. The mind &C
customed to thinking ahead soon ac-
Quires vision. This leads to freedom
In G. higher degree. The one who
takes no forethought is surprised, cast
down, discouraged when anything
goes wrong. Such a one is enslaved,
imprisoned, as it were, by a wall OF
circumstances. The one accustomed
to use forethought is far less the
slave of circumstance. Such one
learns to look for way by which
to turn the unpleasant experience into
profitable results. He uses his i'm
agination to find way out. He
thinks constructively instead Of just
blindly giving in to fate. He has
learned that by forethought and i'm
agination, by creative, constructive
thinking, he can find new ways to sue
cess when one way is blocked.-From

BROUGHT HER BACK TO LIFE
by the Administration of Ar
dent Spirits.

On his return to his native heath
a year or two ago, P. J. O'Keefe found
the neighborhood very much agitated.
Nellie, the Oldest woman in the parish,
was dying
Her friends, arriving at her home,
found her lying back in her easy chair,
apparently about to pass over the last
threshold. Nellie, being a good house
wife, carried bunch of keys at her
girdle and, thinking that she was now
gone, one of the neighbors reached
under the folds of her dress to find
the key that would unlock the closet
where her shroud was kept. AS the
good woman was fumbling at the CIR
die she felt a sly pinch Of her hand
and knew by that that there was still
a spark of life remaining.
Perhaps" she suggested, "a wee
drop Of brandy would revive her"
A teaspoonful Of brandy was ad,
ministered, but with only Pickering
response So the friends departed sor'
rowfully, forgetting, however, to re
move the bottle from her side. On
their return a few hours later they
discovered that the brandy had van
ished and that Nellie had completely
recovered. She lived to be more than
one hundred years old. But that,
says Mr.. O'Keefe, "was the story OF
Nellie's dying"

German Women colIegians.

During the last six years the num-
Der of women students at the German
universities has nearly quadrupled- In
the winter of 1908, when the doors OF
German universities were first fully
thrown open to women, there were
1,10S women students enrolled; today
there are 1855 women taking regular
courses and as many more who are
attending lectures. Nearly 400 OF the
women students are foreigners. Rus
STA sends the largest number and
America the next. The women have
for three years been going more to
the non-Prussian universities. Leip-
zig and Munich especially had large
gains in that time; and the smaller
institutions like Jena, Wurzburg and
Freiburg have also made relatively
large gains.

CORN CAN BE GROWN
ON CANADIAN PRAIRIES

Manitoba Is now commencing to
produce considerable corn, chiefly for
feeding purposes. In Some cases.
where the crop can be matured into
the dough stage, silos could be used
and would be a profitable investment.
According 70 the Farm and Ranch Re-
view, correspondent visited field
Of corn In southern Manitoba on Sep
TENDER %. The corn then was IN
touched by frost and 1t stood on an
average eight and nine feet In height.
The corn had developed into the
dough stage. and the crop would easily
exceed 20 tons to the acre. At many
experimental farms, the same favor
able showing OF the corn crop has
manifested itself. At the Brandon ex-
perimental farm this year several va
rieties, all very good yielders, matured
into good silo corn.

corn can be produced, and the advan-
tages to be gained by SO producing 1t.

Corn is successfully grown In the
northern part of Minnesota In SINH
lar soil and under the same climatic
condition, and there does not appear
to be any reason why Like results
should not be secured In western Can
ada. 1t Is the opinion Of many Ameri-
can farmers Of experience that the
corn belt is extending nortnward The
prairie provinces must gradually take
up with mixed farming. More stock
on the farms mngt be raised and In
consequence farming must to some
extent be diverted from grain growing
to other necessary crops, If crops
suitable for wintering cattle and espe-
cially dairy stock are to be grown,
why should not corn be one of these
crops? In Ontario and in the United
States we find it forms the main bulky
food for wintering beef and dairy cat
tie. They would not be without this
profitable plant. In fact, since It's in
PRODUCTION almost twice as much stock
can be retained on the same amount
of land, besides considering its great
value for keeping the land clean.
Some may say that many crops that
can be grown in Ontario and the
States cannot be grown here, but not
so with corn, even now we find scat
tered fields of corn in Alberta and
Saskatchewan-Adv
