mediately after dinner, Here's
George and Isabel already, together
as usual.
Evelyn's cousin Isabel and Jacks
cousin George usually were together,
as matter of fact, though they con-
stantly protested that their interest
in each other was purely of cousinly
nature, strengthened by the marriage
of Jack and Evelyn.
Where's the surprise?" demanded
George, peering curiously around.
do hurry and tell us, begged Isa-
bel, excitedly.
"Not yet," said Evelyn, with a
tragic look at Jack. ''I'm busy with
dinner. Just amuse yourselves as
you please for a while, like dear good
people,"
The little procession of relatives
Fastening up the street showed how
great had been the suspense. Mrs.
Pryor entered breathless with inter
est, but hesitated moment In the
doorway as she saw George and Isa-
bel standing together by the fireplace
Then, with that same tendency to
jump hastily at conclusions which
Evelyn sometimes displayed, she
rushed forward, impulsively extend
ing a hand to each.
80 you're the surprise! You deal
couple, wish you joy!"
Isabel blushingly protested, con.
fusion alternating with astonishment
Her protests, however, were over
whelmingly drowned by the showers
of congratulations with which she and
George were besieged by the circle
of relatives who had now assembled
"And you didn't even tell your owr
mother!" exclaimed Aunt Mary re-
proachfully. "You naughty girl! Tt
think that I should first learn of youl
engagement at an announcement
party!"
when did 1t happen?" asked
Uncle James genially,
mot very long ago" admitted lisa
bel reluctantly. But We didn't in
tend to tell for a long, long time
How did you all find out about 1t Sc
soon?"
"Why, isn't that the surprise
Evelyn invited us here for?" de
manded Aunt Edith Boice.
The announcement Of dinner a
this juncture saved Evelyn from al
embarrassing confession.
As Isabel passed Evelyn, she gave
her hand a quick squeeze and whis
pered:
"You sly puss. 1t was so dear o
you to tell the. relatives this way
But how DID you know"
But Evelyn only smiled mysteri
ously, while Jack heaved a sigh o.
relief that the responsibility of pro
viding a surprise had been lifted from
| his shoulders.

Thousands Going on
Land, Says Minister
wv ]. BOWSER, Attorney-General

W. J. BOWSER, Attorney-General
w. of British Columbia at VIC
toria, has Just made public figures
which show that the number of home
stead entries In the districts opened
up by the recently completed Grand
Trunk Pacific Railway in the last
two years was four times the numDer
of homestead entries In the whole
provinces five years ago. The lanu
offices at Prince George. Fort Fraser.
Hazelton and Prince Rupert recorded
3643 entries in the last two years ana
the government expects that this
number will be greatly exceeded this
year.
In four years the government mad
surveyed for settlement no less than
3,7S9,372 acres and the total amount
of land surveyed available only TO
homesteading now amounts to 9l,-
92S,567 acres. The Minister points
to the fact that this is over three.
quarters of the total area OF land
under cultivation in the whole DO
minion.
Before the railroads in British Co
lumbia were built, he says, the gov
ernment withdrew from the market
many large tracts of agricultural land
to be reserved for homesteading.
These lands were surveyed so that
the homesteader could go in and Sc
lect his land without danger of rival
and interlapping claims which had IN
many instances caused confusion be-
fore the lands were surveyed. There
are many millions of acres of good ag-
ricultural land in the province, espe-
cially in the districts opened up by
the Grand Trunk Pacific, which are
available only for homesteading pur-
poses or, as it is called in British Co
lumbia, pre-emptiOn.

New Method Of Bedding
Sheep Superior to Old

THE District Forester at Portland,
! Or, has just announced the re-
suits of experiments made, during the
past season, In handling sheep under
different conditions on the National
forest range.
1t Is stated that former experiments
indicated that it was profitable
proposition to give careful attention
to the sheep on the range, and the
aim of the past seasons experiments
was to confirm these indications. Sew
eral bands of sheep were kept under
observation on different forests.
Half of them were handled under
the cold methods" and the other half
under the new methods" In every
instance there was gain in favor
of the new method" not only in the
sheep themselves, but In the amount
OF forage that was saved from de-
struction. AS the results were prac-
tically the same in all cases, 1t will
be necessary to give the details Of but
one experiment.
On the Santiam National forest,
two bands Of sheep were selected
Band No. / consisted Of 1896 ewes
and 1850 lambs. Band No. 2 con-
sisted of 996 ewes and 957 lambs
Range conditions for both bands were
identical, but one band was handled
under the cold method" and the
other under the new method" In
other words, band No. / was re-
turned to the same bed ground for
several nights in succession, and thus
trailed over the same range every
day; while band No. 2 was bedded
wherever night overlook them, except
in stormy weather, and were loosely
, herded and allowed to Craze quietly.
Two hundred lambs in each band
were weighed when the sheep entered
the range, and again when they left.
Those of Band No. 2 showed an av-
erage gain of Az pounds over those
of band No. /. At cents per pound,
this means at least Is cents per head
gain. On 1000 lambs this would
amount to $3.50. This sum Is GER
tainly worth while to the stockman.

IF BACK HURTS
BEGIN ON SALTS
Flush the Kidneys at Once when BACK
achy or Bladder Bothers-Meat
Forms Uric Acid.

No man or woman who eats meat reg
ularly can make mistake by flushing
the kidneys occasionally, says we'll
known authority. Meat forms uric ae1d
which clogs the kidney pores so they
sluggishly filter or strain only part OF
the waste and poisons from the blood,
then you get sick. Nearly all rheuma-
tism. headaches, liver trouble, nervous
ness, constipation, dizziness, sleepless-
ness. bladder disorders come from slug
gish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or If
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from any
reliable pharmacy and take table
spoonful in glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your kid
neys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with hthia
and has been used for generations to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to activity, also to neutralize the
acids in urine so it no longer causes ir-
ritation, thus ending bladder disorders

meat eaters should take now and then
to keep the kidneys clean and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.
