He had studied at West Point, and had had ex-
perience both in the army and in the war de-

1t is ne wonder that the people of the South
received the announcement Of Lincolns call for
$4,000 troops with derisive laughter and cheers.
This was on the third of April BY the thirtieth
of May their loyalty to their cause had become
more enthusiastic. This was especially true of
their younger men. The military drill incident
to their preparation for war with them was
pleasant pastime. There was need of call
for troops. Thousands Of them were ready and
anxious to enlist. Manassas Junction, Va, had
been selected as the rallying place for the Con-
federates, and volunteers were gathering there.
Such was the situation the thirtieth of May In
1861 calm before the storm Fifty-two days
later the battle of Bull Run!
The truthfuness of the old saying, Coming
events cast their shadows before" must have
been realized by the people both in the North
and In the South the thirtieh of May In 1863, for
at that time there we're pending two events, eth.
er Of which. these people must have realized,
might prove to be the turning point Of the war.
One of these, they knew, would happen soon 1T

the question which was asked hundreds OF times
on this day when neighbor met neighbor The
people Of the north were hoping that their sol
ders would succeed In capturing this
stronghold Of the Confederacy, but there were
doubts in their minds. Grant had not as yet
gained the confidence of the Union people.
Within the three weeks Immediately preceding
this thirtieth of May the Union forces had been
gaining a series Of victories near Vicksburg.
Grant had defeated Joe" Johnston at Jackson
and had placed Union troops in charge Of that
city He had defeated Pemberton both at Cham
pion's Hill and at Big Black river Pemberton,
now cut off from communication with Johnston
had retired within the defenses at Vicksburg.
Eight days before this thirteth of May Grant
had tried to take these defenses by assault. but
being repulsed he had taken up his position on
the heights north Of the city and had begun his

The seeding Of spring wheat was

but as the spring In Western Canada
has been very open they will be only
q few days later. At the time of
writing rain would be welcome. but
at seeding time, the ground contained
splendid lot of moisture and the
lack of rain at the present time will
not be serious. The number of farm

cattle has been considerably in.

In evidence everywhere. The cult.

In Saskatchewan there will be

In Alberta many Of the more progress.
sive farmers are taking hold OF 1t.
The yield varies according to the cul.
tivation 1t receives, and runs from
five to nine tons per acre. In some
portions of Manitoba where 1t has
been poor for some years, success has
been achieved in ripening and it Is
expected that variety will soon be
developed that will provide seed for
the entire West, that will at an early
date give to Western Canada fame
for the growing of a marketable corn
equal to that 1t has now for the
growth of smaller cereals.
A trip through Western Canada re-
veals field after field of alfalfa, the
growth Of which in any portion of
the country is now absolutely assured.
When these facts are made known to
the farmers of the corn and alfalfa
growing states, where their value as
wealth makers Is so well known, there
will be no hesitancy in taking advan-
tage of the splendid gift of 160 acres
Of land made by the Government of
the Dominion Of Canada, where equal
opportunities are offered. Besides
these free grant lands, there are the
lands Of some of the railway COM
panies and large land companies, that
may be had at low prices and on
reasonable terms. During the month
of February a large number of In
quiries were received, asking for farm
lands.
An encouraging feature of the farm
land situation in Canada is the large
percentage Of sales made to settlers
in the country who desire to increase
their holdings or to others who will
take up farming in place of different
occupations previously followed.-Ad-

CVWON patriotic thankfulness for

people who will take part in the strew-

not veterans who fought in the Civil
war To those who are old enough to
remember the war, it's memories have
softened and grown calm, its material
evidences have about all faded from
sight To those who are not old enough
to remember the war, its events are
only matters of history. But to the
old soldier Memorial day is a day of
reflection and meditation. He will be
thinking of events of those stirring

tieth of May in the Civil war, in all
probability, was to him an eventful
day. Possibly he may remember some
event that took place on each thirtieth

LABOR AND RECREATION.
All Work and No Play Produces the
Fatigue That Poisons.

Men and women come In the morn
ing to their tasks with a spring of
fresh energy within them. Little by
little during the hours Of labor they
empty that spring. When it is dry
they must draw from forces which
should be untouched. BY some strange
chemistry which no one understands
too well these intrusions on the phys
ical forces which should be inviolate
produce in the human system a true
toxic cOnditiOn-fatigue poison, auto
poison ths scientists call it.
If this fatigue poison passes a point
where the period of rest following is
not equal to the task of throwing it Off
and filling afresh the spring Of energy,
the man goes back to his toll a little
unfit; the longer he goes on the more
unfit he becomes. Slowly the poison
invades his system. The repairing
fOrces-fOOd. relaxation, pleasures and
sleep-becOme less and less equal to
the task. The man becomes more and
more open to the attack of disease;
less and less able to do his work; un-
fit to improve upon it; unable to grow.
He is an unsafe man, too. one not to be
trusted among machines in dangerous
places. The man has been poisoned
into unfitness by the slow accumula-
tion of fatigue poison which he could
not throw off.
1t was not work which did this. It
was too much work. He needed the
work to keep him fit. Without it or its ]
equivalent. a regular physical exercise, |
his spring of energy would have as
surely deteriorated as it did from over
work. The spring of energy standing |
idle would have sOured within him.
