Then, again, silence settled on the
town, to remain for five minutes un-
broken. The sun glared mercilessly on
clay streets, now as empty as a CEN
etery. A single horse incautiously
hitched at the side of the courthouse
switched its tail against the assaults
of the flies Otherwise, there was no
outward sign of life. Then, Cal1omb's
newly organized force of ragamuffin sol
diers clattered down the street al
double time. For a moment or two
after they came into sight only the
massed uniforms caught the eyes OF
the intrenched Hollmans, and an
alarmed murmur broke from the court
house. They had seen no troops de
train, or pitch camp. These men had
sprung from the earth as startlingly as
Jason's crop of dragons teeth. But
when the command rounded the shouI-
der of a protecting wall to await fur
Their orders, the ragged stride of their
marching and the all-too-obvious bea-.

them native amateurs. The murmuT
turned to a howl Of derision and chal

less than Souths, masQuerading in the
uniforms of soldiers.
What orders?" inquired Callomb
briefly, joining Samson the store.
Demand surrender once more-then
take the courthouse and JAIL was the
short reply.

outbursts Of musketry. The troops
were firing as sharpshooters, and the

WORKING IN OCEANS DEPTHS
Most Remarkable Divers Are the
Pearl Fishers OF Torres, Who
Work With Simple Equipment

The greatest depth recorded of
work done by a diver in a suit is 1S2
feet; this depth was reached by the
Spanish diver. Angel Erostarbe, who
recovered $4,000 in silver ingots from
the wreck of the steamship Skyro on
Cape Finisterre. The sponge divers
of the Mediterranean work at a maxi
mum of $50 feet, and the Australian
peariers at 12O feet The greatest
depths reached by divers without ap-
paratus were by the pearl fishers
of Torres, mostly Malayans from the
smaller islands. They go down with
the aid of stone and loop in the
rope thereto attached which they
clutch with their toes, these organs
being far more prehensile than in
races normally shod. They seldom
venture to descend below SO feet, q

FARMERS WHO SUCCEED
IN WESTERN CANADA
Those Who Exercise Thrift, Prac-
tice Due Economy, and Adopt
Reasonable Methods Are
Sure to Prosper.

Those who are interested in devel-
oping the agricultural resources OF
Western Canada in bringing to the
notice of those whom they desire to
take part in this development present
only the facts. There has never been
given the impression that farming IN
Western Canada could be carried on
without effort or labor, but 1t has been
successfully stated that better results
can be secured with less outlay OF
capital, either in money or labor, than
anywhere else on the continent. This
has been proven time and time again.
Hundreds of cases could be cited
where men have taken up farms,
either homestead, or purchased from
railways or land companies, and with
little capital at the start have &C
quired a competence, have esta blished
good homes for themselves, and pro-
vided a sure future. They have COM
