Get the Habit.

Good cheer is great lubricant. 1t
oils all of life's machinery. Good cheer
is great producer. 1t adds wonder
fully to ones active ability and in
creases mental and physical power 1t
makes host of friends and helps US to
be interesting and agreeable. Good
cheer will attract more customers, sell
more goods, do more business with less
wear and tear than almost any other
quality. Optimism is the greatest
businesSgetter, biggest trader, truest
achiever in the world. Pessimism has
never done anything but tear down and
destroy what optimism has built up.
In the business office, in society, In
politics, in workshops, everywhere, the
favorite is always the cheerful fellow
with the bright smile and bright
thoughts.

UPSALA CENTER OF SWEDEN
Country's Most Ancient City, and
Vastly Rich In the Nations
History and Tradition.

In all things save the most modern
| Upsala is the center of Sweden. In
| point of education. of religion and OF
history and tradition, this little city
OvershadOws Stockholm. 1t is so old
that the old gods themselves are said
TO be buried there.
Old Upsala lies mile or two away
from the more modern city; II is set
| upon the very ashes of other times
Digging in the earth underfOot brings
to light the crude implements of
people. our knowledge of whom Is little
more than theory, as well as the better
fashioned weapons that the Norsemen
OF the early centuries knew how to
WELD so well. There are three great
mounds or barrOws still left at old Up
sala. and these are sometimes said to
be the tOmbs of three of the old gods
of Morse mythology.
The present city of Upsala is cut In
two by the River Fyris. On the slop-
Ing hill to the westward, surrounded
by less important buildings stand the
versity in Sweden. The other half Of
the city is given over to modest dwell
ings. but from any vantage point on
the hillside they make pretty sight
with their characteristic northern neat
ness and clean lines
The life Of the town is strongly col
Ored by the university folk. The stu
dent Is readily recognizable by his
black-trimmed white velvet cap; and
he Is everywhere, of course, for he
makes up about II tenth Of the pOpu-
latiOn. Your typical Swedish univer-
sity man is an athlete and songster,
especially noted for his fine, full cho-
ruses. The distant singing of a dozen
lusty young voices on moonlight win
ter night is one Of the most character
istic sounds of Upsala, and one of the
little things encountered here and
there that stick In the memory.
The great brick cathedral Is the other
striking institution Of Upsala. Here
lie buried several of Sweden's old war
rior kings, and here, too, is the tomb
of Linnaeus, the father of botany, who
was professor at the university. Be
fore the tomb Of Linnaeus is recep-
tacle filed deep with the cards of ia
nous men who have visited his tomb.
Indeed for long it was something of
custom for European botanists to visit
Upsala on the anniversary of the birth
of Linnaeus. There is something SIM
gularly fitting and attractive in this
Idea Of science making pilgrimages to
the tombs of her prophets.

Fortunes to Servants.

Recently Il woman who died in Buck
inghamshire at the age of eighty-nine
left her fortune of 100000 to her
cOachman, and the late Lord Burton
left 100000 in annuities to his serv-
ants, while the proprietor of a Leices-
ter square restaurant left his woman
bOOkkeeper close upon 100000. The
dowager duchess Of Wilton left several
large requests 80 hc7 servants, includ-
ing the sum of 100000 to her maid.
A Hove surgeon left his fortune to his
hOusekeeper and the very same year
lady in the North Of England left
her companion 100000. A Liverpool
shipowner left f1,0OO,O0O and remem-
bered in his will every person in his
employ both at home and at the Of
fees. His legacies ranged from $780,
600 to his manager to f1O0 to his office
boy. Some years ago British mag
nate, after leading his wife to believe
herself sole legatee, left her one shil-
ling and bequeathed f72,OOO to others,
including f3,5OO to a servant whom his
wife specially disliked. OF all forms
Of petty spite the vindictive will Is the
lneanest. Now and then someone gets
good reward for short service. A Scot
fish iron master who died recently had

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

1t is getting to be a long drawn out
story, the way that Western Canadian
farmers have made money. Many Of
them q 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 sufti-
cient money to do them for few
months, until they got 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 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:
II came to Alberta in the Spring OF
1909 from Devils Lake, North Dakota,
locating on my farm near DalrOy.
II arrived with six head of horses
and two head of cattle and about
$500. Since then, 1 have increased
my live stock to seven head Of horses,
four head Of cattle, and about one hun
dred head of hogs, fOur-roomed
house, good barn with all modern inn
provements, a 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, had gross return Of
$4,000.
II 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 $25 to $35
per acre, with nominal taxes Of about
$27 quarter section yearly.
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,
feel satisfied with my success in
Alberta"
(Sgd.) A. E. MERRIAM.

for farm labor in Western Canada dur

Government that those who go to
Canada for this purpose need have no

role StrikingIy like that played By
Conan DoyIe's "Sherlock Holmes
or POe's IN. Dupin" in modern It,
erdture
In the days of King Moabdur of
Babylonia there dwelt in the city of
Babylon rich man named Zadig. Tai
ented, accomplished handsome and
healthy, he still was unhappy. He had
been disappointed more than once in
friendship and finally most sorely in
love. Convinced that destiny lies in
wait for the ambitious and distin-
guished, he withdrew to simple coun-
try home on the Euphrates river.
Being resolved not to tempt fate. he
looked about for an occupation that
promised the least possible entangle-
ment with the ways Of providence, and
decided upon the study of nature.
One day as he strolled in grove
near his home, II troop of officials and
slaves ran up to him and asked: Have
you seen the queens dog?"
"Was it small dOg?" asked Zadig.
eff SO, such a dog has passed here. 1t
had beautiful long ears and it limped
slightly with the right forefOot."
Then you have seen it'll" cried the
leader, delighted.
NO" said Zadig. II have not seen
1t. In fact, did not even know until
this moment that the queen owns a
dog"
Before the astOunded man could re-
ply. another party Of officers and serv-
ants appeared, exclaiming breathlessly
that the kings finest horse had strayed.
WAS 1t bitted with gold?' asked Ia
dig. "A horse thus bitted, and shod
with silver, gallOped through here. 1t
had magnificent stride and gait, and
was of the purest blood. Was not its
tail at least four and One-half feet
lOng?"
"Yes! Yes!" said the master of
horse eagerly. ''In which direction
did it run? Where is 1t now?'
Il have not seen it" answered Ia
dig. This is the first time that l
knew the king had such horse"
The men of both parties stared at
each other for q moment. Then with
out a word they pounced on Zadig
with: "Thief! You shall learn what
II means to trife with the property of
your ruler!"
The slaves hustled him to the city
of Babylon, not without presenting him
with many undesired bruises. He was
led at once before the chief council
and charged with having stolen the
dog and the horse of the royal family.
The tale told by the officers was so
convincing that the council did not per-
nit Zadlg to speak, but sentenced him
at once to Imprisonment for life.
Just as he was being led away, beg
ging vainly for leave to say word in
defense. messengers arrived with the
news that the missing animals had
been found. The council perceived the
painful necessity of resembling its SEN
tence; but 1t felt justified in flning
Zadig 400 ounces of gold for asserting
that he lad not seen something when
he had already admitted that he had
seen it.
Again Zadig asked for permission to
make trifling explanation, but the
Judges decided after earnest cOnsulta-
ton that the fine must be paid first.
