NOT HIS KIND OF A CANNON
Admiral Knew All About One Species,
But the Other Was Beyond His
Comprehension.

The late Admiral Dewey was very
fond of music and when receptions
were held at the Dewey home musical
entertainment was always provided.
Among the admiral's ~favorite singers
was Mrs. Susanna Oldberg Of this city
and she related an amusing story that
reveals the distinguished hero of Ma
Mia bay in the light of a wit.
One Of the admiral's favorite selec-
tons was a duet, called in musical par
lance a canon, where one voice is an
swered in imitation by another
throughout the piece. He seemed par
ticularly pleased always when this
canon was sung and would unfailing-
ly say to Mrs. Oldberg: "Tell me why
is this music called a canon? What 6
queer name for a piece of music!"
wouldn't it be bringing Goals to
Newcastle for me to try to tell you
anything about a canon, admiral?"
Mrs. Oldberg would whimsically in.

BUILT BY 'PERFIDIOUs ROGUE
George Downing Had Building Con-
structed in Which the British
Cabinet Now Holds Meetings.

Downing street is named after Sir
George Downing, whom Pepys called
"a perfidious rogue" and of rogues he
was a pretty good judge. Downing
was the son of a Puritan gentleman
who had %emigrated to Salem, in New
England, was born in 1923 and was Sec
ond in the graduate roll of Harvard in
England with an accommodating con-
science and a boundless ambition. He
got to know the protector, Cromwell,
by whom he was appointed chaplain
to the regiment Of which the regicide,
Colonel Okey, was commander, then he
graduated as scOutmaster general of
the parliamentary army, becoming
eventually England's ambassador to
the Netherlands. But Downing was
not so prejudiced in favor of Puritan
ism Though he had 'done the lackey-
ing to CromwelTs coach") as to be un-
able to accept a post under the govern
ment of Charles II, with the result, as
Mr.. Pascoe says, that he attained to
diplomatic rank, knighthOOd, barOnet-
cy all that parcel of land now named
Downing street -. and all the houses
thereon erected by himself; and the
last, not least $4,000 ESQ we are toldl
in bonds and good sterling English"
Upon this parcel of land he built some
houses, in one of which he lived, and it
is probable that tire dining room of
that "perfidious rogue" George Down
ing, is now the cabinet roo of No. 10.

which are also rented for the night

long lines of benches, which grad
ually filled with attendants. They
were poor people, for the most part
and had in their eyes that look of pa
tient, hopeless misery which one
meets among the lower classes Of
London. To these souls, struggling
against the hard material tyranny Of
their daily lives, unillumined by AM
spark of hope, it was evident that the
gospel of Axel had come with the
force of a stunning revelation.

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

It is getting to be a long drawn out
story, the way that Western Canadian
farmers have made money. Many OF
them a few years ago, came to the
country with little more than their
few household effects, probably a team
of horses and a COW or two, and sufh-
cient money to do them for q Few
months, until they got a 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. e. Merriam, formerly Of Devils
| Lake, n. D. He didn't leave there be-
| cause the land was poor, or farming
| not a 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 it, 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
$1,000. Since then, I have increased
my live stock to seven head of horses,
four head of cattle, and about n hun
dred head Of hogs, a four-roomed
house, good barn with all modern i'm
provements, a feed grinder, elevator,
chopper, tanning mill, etc. I have in
creased my original capital at least
| four times more since coming here.
"From the feeding of hogs during
the last year, 1 had a gross return Of
$1,000.
81 first started grain farming, but
during the past four years l have made
hogs my speciality, and you may see
by the foregoing statement for 1916
that 1 have not done so badly.
Land has increased at least twenty
per cen in value during the past few
years, now selling for from $25 to $50
per acre, with nominal taxes of about
$27 a quarter section yearly.
"The climate here is better than Da-
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 if every
farmer follows this he will be ahead
of the grain growers in the long run.
Taking everything into consideration,
1 feel satisfied with my success in
Alberta"

There will be the greatest demand
for farm labor in Western Canada dur

of Axel and has done all he could,
and feels no further responsibility if
his niece chooses to make a fool Of
herself. You and l and the ambas-
sador and Lady Sibyl, who, by the
way, is as ignorant as Axel of the
trick we propose to play"

Sibyl will be waiting for us to call at
her rooms on Sunday evening and es-
cort her to the meeting"

At seven o'clock on the Sunday
night we called for Lady SibyI. We
found her housed in a large building,
the headquarters of the humanitarian
association with which she was con-
nected, and about ten minutes walk
from the Tabernacle. She was not
alone, however, for there was a young
man present, and l had an unmistak-
able impression, when l entered, that
there had been something of a scene
between the two.
ALLOW me to introduce Mr.. Car
ruthers," said Lady Sibyl to US. "An-
other of my well-wishers," she added
acidly, and I perceived that the acid.
ity of her tones was meant to con-
ceal some strong emotional stress.
