from the car too soon was not ordered

were laid.

Mr.. Starr on Thursday morning had
taken the early eastbound train to
Burlington. He attended the evange-
listic services at the tabernacle in the
afternoon and evening, and then went
to bed at the hotel. He slept late the
next morning. When he finally APP
peared the clerk came at once from
behind the desk to speak to him. Two
or three other guests, who had been
lounging about, drew near.
"We've just been reading about your
girls, sir" said the clerk respectfully.
Its pretty nervy little bunch! You
must be proud of them"
"AIy girls !" CALCULATED Mr.. Starr.
Haven't you seen the morning pa
per? You're Mr.. Starr, the Methodist
minister at Mount Mark, aren't you"
81 am! But what has happened TO
my girls? Is anything wrong? Give
me the paper"
Five minutes later Mr.. Starr and his
suitcase were In taxicab speeding
toward Union station, and within eight
minutes he was en- route for Mount
Mark-white In the face, shaky in the
knees. but tremendously proud in
spirit.
Arriving at Mount Mark, he was in
stantly surrounded by an explanatory
crowd Of station loungers. The name
of Prudence was upon every tongue,
and her father heard it with satisfac-
tioI. In the parsonage he found at
least twO-thlrds of the Ladies' Aid So
ciety, the trustees and the Sunday
school superintendent, along with n
miscellaneous assortment of ordinary
members, mixed up with Presbyterians,
| Baptists and few unclassified Outsid-
ers. And Prudence was the center of
attraction.
She was telling the "whole story"
for perhaps the fifteenth time that
morning, but she broke off when her.
father hurried In and flung her arms
about him. "Oh, papa" she cried,
they mustn't praise me. i had no
idea there was burglar In the house
when 1 ran down the stairs. and hon
estly can't see that much credit is
due me-"
But Mount Mark did not take It so
calmly. And as for the Methodist
church-well, the Presbyterian people
used to say there was 'no living with
those Methodists, since the girls caught
Il burglar In the parsonage" or course
1t was important, from the Methodist
| Int Nf oil ID Lot. .,f
sonage and the church were In all the
papers for miles around, and at their
very next meeting the trustees decided
to get the piano the Sunday school had
been needing for the last hundred
years
When the five hundred dollars ar
rived from Chicago, Prudence felt that
personally she had no real right to the
money. I'VE must divide it," she in
sisted "fOr ] didn't earn ii a bit more
than any of the others. But 1t Is
perfectly glorious to have five hundred
dollars, isn't It? Did you ever have
five hundred dollars before? Just take
1t. father, and use 1t for whatever we
need. It's family money"
Neither the younger girls nor their
father would consent to this. But
when Prudence pleaded with them ear
nestly, they decided to divide 1t.
II will deposit two hundred and fifty
dollars for the four younger Ones" he
said, "and that will leave you as
much"
So 1t was settled, and Prudence was
a happy girl when she saw it safely
put away in the bank.

MADE $4,000
OUT OF HOGS
On His Western Canadian Farm.


1t is, getting to be long drawn out
story, the Ny that Western Canadian
farmers have made money. Many OF
them few years ago. came to the
country with little more than their
few household effects, probably team
of horses and a COW or two, and sufii-
cient money to do them for n few
months, until they got n start. Hun
dreds of such can be pointed out, who
today have splendid homes, well
equipped farms. the latest machinery
and an automobile. Here Is the case
Of A. Il. Merriam. formerly of Devils
Lake, n. II. He didn't leave there be-
cause the land was poor, or farming
not success, for all who know that
country are aware that It Is an excel
lent country. He wanted to expand,
to take advantage of the cheap land
that Western Canada offers. And that
same story has appealed TO hundreds
Of others who have had like success
with Mr.. Merriam. But his story, and
he signs 1t, too, is:
81 came TO Alberta In the Spring of
1909 from Devils Lake. North Dakota,
locating on my farm near Dalroy.
81 arrived with six head Of horses
and two head of cattle and about
! $500. Since then, | have Increased
my live stock To seven head of horses,
| four head of cattle, and about one hum
dred head of hogs, four-roomed
house, good barn with all modern Inn
provements, feed grinder. elevator,
chopper, tanning mill, etc. / have In
creased my original capital at least
four times more since coming here.
"From the feeding of hogs during
the last year, l had a gross return Of
5000.
~ first started grain farming, but
during the past four years have made
hogs my speciality, and you may see
by the foregoing statement for 1915
that have not done so badly.
Land has increased at least twenty
per cent in value during the past few
years, now selling for from S25 to S35
per acre, with nominal taxes Of about
SGT quarter section yearly.
"The climate here is better than pa-
kota In that we do not have SO much
dry wind; the winters are similar to
Dakota.
"As for farming In general the grow
Ing and feeding Of live stock is more
sure than the grain farming. If con.
tinued year after year. and IL every
farmer follows this he will be ahead
of the grain growers in the long run.
Taking everything into consideration.
