 Yes, training is an art. The simplest appearing of canine performances is, prop erly understood, difficult thing. It looks easy, but it is hard and thus Rocke feller sniled-"thus it is like the man at the photographers.

TONY LETNES
 PASSES AWAY
Death Comes to Well-Known Citi- zen While Peacefully Sleeping Funeral to Be Held Under
 Auspices of Moose

Antcne Letnes, widely known and re spected throughout the Iditarod district, ex- pired peacefully at the Grand hotel in Flat City at about 3 80 o'clock on Friday morn ing. Mir. Letness dropped off to sleep at about l a. m and evidently life departed from his body while wrapped in slumber.
 The news of the death of Tony" Letnes came as a great shock to the people of the district. He was not known to have been ill, butt WAS remembered that some two years ago he was afflicted with serious stomach malady, which may have been the indirect cause of his death, which was at tributed to heart disease.
 Mir Letnes had been a resident of the North for many years, having been in Daw- son and Fairbanks in the early days of those side in 1910, and has resided in the district ever since. During the mining season just closed he was employed by Dave Strandberg at the Up Grade, at the head of Flat creek
 Antone Letnes was born in Norway on February 3, 1875. and came to this country when a young man. He leaves widow, and IS believed to have relatives in the States. He was a member of the Loyal Order of Moose, under whose auspices the funeral vii be held next Sunday afternoon at ? clock, from the A. B. hall in this city.

AN EXTRAORDINARY SPY

The most remarkable story of this or any other war is that told by lgatiu5 Timothy 1 Trlblch Lincoln now in this country, whose extradition has been asked by the British i government. Lincoln is a Church of Eng land clergyman and a member of the British parliament. EXtradltion Is asked on charges of fraud and embezzlement, but he insists that he is really wanted as a spy and that he will be condemned to be killed as such should he be returned.
 i He was Jew, born in Austria. and has been in the Austro- German secret service since youth. He was sent to Canada and, to better serve the purposes of his employers, he renounced his religion and assumed the name of Lincoln as an addition to his other names. He took holy orders in Canada and | then went to England with letters of rec ommendation from church dlgnitaries and amply supplied with money. In a brief time he was private secretary to B. s. Rown- tree, head of the great cocoa firm, who plays large part in English Liberal politics. Within four years after reaching England he was elected to parliament from Darling ton as Labor candidate with Liberal back ing He leased beautiful country home with money supplied him by his govern ment and entered actively into politics
 At the outbreak of the war he placed his services at the disposal of the Briish gov ernment He was an accomplished linguist had thorough knowledge of the continent and was consequently employed on confden- tlal missions. He secured connections with the admiralty and made tri ps to the conti nent, pretending to furnish important and valuable information about German naval matters. Through the confidence thus ere | ated he succeeded in getting the secret code of admiralty communlcat ation, with which he crossed again to Holland and communicated to the German government.
 Returning he found himself under suspi- cion. At the war office he encountered a cold reception, made an excuse, slipped out of side door, got to an apartment which he had kept in reserve for the emergency, put on disguise and took the first train for Liverpool, whence he embarked for the United States. Documents found in his country home and his offices showed him to be the most dangerous and most important admiralty spy that Germany had in its em ploy. Yet this German spy became mem Der of the British parliament, an intimate friend of cabinet officers, was ntrusted with secret missions of the first importance, and permitted access to the most imporant mill tary and naval secrets of England during period of war with the country of his birth. Is such career possible only in England? Nobody can teil.-Seattle Post -Intellgencer.

WESTERN CANADA
SEEDING FINISHED
Wheat and Other Grains Have
Had an Excellent Start.

The seeding of spring wheat was
pretty general this spring about 7th
Of April or about as early as in Illinois
and Iowa. Oats and barley followed.
Information is to hand that on first
Of May all seeding was practically fin-
ished. Farmers will now be busy at
their breaking. and the land for sum.
mer fallow will be entered upon. Some
who did not get their land prepared
last fall, will be later than the others,
but as the spring in Western Canada
has been very open they viii be only
few days later. At the time of
writing rain would be welcome, but
at seeding time, the ground contained
q splendid lot of moisture and the
lack of rain at the present time will
not be serious. The number of farm.
ers who have gone into the raising of
cattle has been considerably In
creased, and the preparation for ex-
tensiye cultivated grass pastures is
in evidence everywhere. The cult
walton of fodder corn is being largely
entered upon in Manitoba there be.
ing upwards of $4,000 acres in corn.
In Saskatchewan there will be a
large increase in the area planted, and
In Alberta many of the more progress
stve farmers are taking hold Of It.
The yield varies according to the cul-
tivations 1t receives, and runs from
five to nine tons per acre. In some
portions Of Manitoba where it bias
been poor for some years, success has
been achieved in ripening and it is
expected that a variety will soon be
developed that will provide seed for
the entire West, that will at an early
date give to Western Canada a fame
for the growing of a marketable corn
equal to that it 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
will be no hesitancy in taking advan-
tage of the splendid gift of 100 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-

THE SECRET

Of good coffee is to get pure, sound coffee
If you ask your dealer he viii tell you
that all coffees are pure. as the law pro
hibits the sale of substitutes as coffee.
Not all apples are pure although they
are apples. Some of them are often rotten
Some colFees are windfals, and whilst
the law allows them to be called coffee
they are impure and have a harsh taste
Denisons Cofiees are picked coiTees, the
berries picked by hand from the trees,
consequently they are always pure and
sound in every sense Of the word, reliable
and delicious.
Denison's Coffees are always packed in
cartons, bags or cans with the name on
every package. All others are limitations
If your grocer does not stock Denson 4
Coffees, write the Denison Coffee Co, Chi

can be obtained in your vicinity.-Adv.

HOW TO COOK VEGETABLES
To Attain Best Results, These Worth
While obserVances Should Be Kept
Strictly in Mind.

1. Use the freshest vegetables that
can be procured.
2. All fresh green vegetables should
be placed in boiling sailed water.
8. All dried vegetables, such as
beans, haricots, lentils, etc, should be
placed in lukewarm water.
4. The use of plenty Of water in
the cooking of all sorts of cabbage
and sprouts is not only preservative
of color; it is also advantageous in
reducing the disagreeable smell which
cabbage water always has.
S. Never allow vegetables of any
kind to remain soaking in the water in
which they were boiled; drain them at
once when they are cooked.
6. 1t is waste of money to buy old,
dried vegetables, and a waste of time
to try to cook them.

STOMACH WORM DOES HARM
Parasites often Draw So Heavily Up
on Lambs as to Cause Emaoia-
ton and Finally Death.

Like the hog, the sheep has its pc
culiar ailments which sometimes re-
suit in loss as well as discouragement
Unlike the ailments of the hog, how
ever, those of the sheep are ordinarily
not contagious, and the means neces-
sary to prevention are the same as
should be adopted for the most eco
nomical production, even in health.
The most serious menace to continu.
Gus thrift in the flock is the presence
of internal parasites, chiefly stomach
worms. The eggs of the stomach worm
are dropped upon the ground with the
feces from infected sheep. The small
worms are swallowed with the grass
three or four days after Matching from
the eggs, and reach the stomach.
Stomach worms are frequently present
in such large numbers as to draw so
heavily from the circulation as to
cause emaciation and finally death of
the lamb. Mature sheep are much less
affected by these worms, though they
usually scatter the eggs.
Keeping the flock upon crops sown
upon plowed land prevents infection.
Such practice also furnishes the great
est amount of feed from each acre,
and the kind and variety of food upon
which sheep thrive best. Flowing the
land prevents danger from stomach
worm eggs dropped upon it, In warm
weather the flock should be moved to
fresh ground every ten days or two
weeks to prevent infection of lambs
by larvae from eggs dropped from the
ewes. If lambs are by themselves the
time between changes might be long
er. but in most forage crop rotations
changes will need to be made every
two or three weeks. Fall sown rye,
spring oats and vetches or peas, rape,
| cowpeas, soy beans, crimson or Japan
clover planted at proper intervals, will
furnish fresh pasturage at times de-
sired. Some of the land can be used
twice in year, as by having one
planting of rape upon the rye ground,
The cultivation Of the land destroys
all infection from previous pasturing,
Under such a system of cropping and
grazing the land will improve, as the
manurial value of the crops is prac-
tically all left upon the land and is
very evenly distributed.

USEFUL GARDEN TOOL
New Convenience for the Worker
in Truck Patch.
Many LaborSavlng implements De-
Viseo for Assistance of Farmer
One of Latest Is Hoe, With
Seed Box, on Handle.

The activity of the inventor is max
Ing the life on the farm so attractive
that it is he who in a great measure
he's been responsible to the "back-to-
the-soil" movement The introduction
OF some of the greater conyeniences
have really brought the outlying farm
much nearer to the centers of civiliza-
ton and, being within easy reach of
the cities, the tendency to leave the
farm has been largely overcome.
In minor degree smaller inventions
have been the means of removing a
great deal of the drudgery from the
activities of country suburban life.
For instance, the man who wants to
operate little truck patch can do SO
much more readily now than a few
years ago on account of the many la
bor-saving tools and implements which
have been devised for his assistance.
One of the latest of these is a hoe
for seed planting which dispenses with
the back-breaking business of placing
the seeds in the holes that have been
made for their reception.

WATER WILL KILL ALFALFA

HOME THAT is TRULY HOME
Its Creation is Wholly the Art Of
Woman, and Really Her
Life's Best Work.

A home is not merely houge: il is
an atmosphere; it is a place of be-
loved associations. where YOU can
wear old clothes, and think old
thoughts, and hear familiar voices
without hearing them. You can be
happy there, and be comfortably UNI
happy, be thoroughly unpleasant
even, and know that those you love
will think no worse of you than they
do already. Luxury cannot make a
home, nor can books, or pictures. or
rugs, or bric-a-brac. A cat; p canary,
two geraniums, a Bible and an old
rocking chair may make one Of the
loveliest homes in the world. At the
same time home is not necessarily
happy because it is the house of pow
erty, as some would have US believe.
The art of creating home atmo-
sphere l. wholly the art Of woman,
and she has none more charming.
Mere care will not do it, or mere
neatness and tidiness; indeed those
things sometimes work the other way
The love of prettiness will not do
it; good cooking will not do it, al
though it is a mighty help Ever be-
ing gay and merry, and kindly yourself
is not quite enough, although it helps
even more than the cooking. Sue
cess in homemaking, as in everything
else, requires that you shall feel a
real JOY in your work. If it is a drag,
If it is an irksome duty, if your mind
Is on a thousand outside things that
are not home, you cannot make home
what it should be. Not that the home
maker should think of nothing else
That is neither desirable nor possible.
But the woman whose first pleasure
is to create that beautiful thing, home,
will be precious and permanent in
fuence not only to her own family,
but to all her household, to all her
guests, to the whole community in
which she lives.-Youth's Companion.
