FANATIC IS "CRUCIFIED" ALIVE
Italian Religious ZeaIot, Posing az
Messiah, Survives Indian Or
deal in Mexico.

Mexico City.-Dr. Jose di Gabrielle,
the Italian religious .zealot, who was
crucified by the Indian inhabitants Of
Tequizistlan, OaXaca, has arrived in
Mexico City, en- route to his home in
Pachuca, apparently little the worse
of his experience and still harboring
his beliefs.
Di Gabrielle appeared in Oaxaca
early in Lent, proclaiming himself to
be the Savior, and so worked on the
superstitious and ignorant Indians
that they crucified him, using railway
spikes to nail him to rude cross. He
was released the next day and sur
vived the ordeal.
News of the crucifixion reached the
capital of the state, Tehuantepec, and
the governor ordered Di Gabrielle
brought there A great procession fol-
lowed the cart in which he was trans
ported. Later the mayor of Tequi-
zistlan, who acted as the Roman cen
turion at the crucifixion, was ar
rested.

FARMERS DO WELL
Record Prices Paid Wheat Grow.
ers of Western Canada.
Will Get Above 40 Cents Over tho
Fixed Scale Set-World Looking
to the Dominion for Its
Grain.

1t will be of interest to many read
ers to learn that their farmer friends
In Canada will do so well out of the
wheat they grew on western Canada's
prairies last year.
There was a fixed price of $2.15 per
bushel paid for their wheat last sea-
son.
Not knowing the price at which 1t
would be possible to market the crop,
the Canadian grain board, which Or
ganization handled the whole of the
crop last summer, fixed $2.15 as min
imum price for No. l wheat, and ar
ranged that each farmer should be
given certificates for the quantity Of
wheat he delivered. TIE amount re-
ceived over and above the fixed price
which was paid to the farmers when
selling their wheat was to be divided
pro rata at the end of the season, and
the holders of these certificates will.
therefore, participate in the extra
price received according to the guam
tity of wheat sold.
The latest advices are that the
wheat board will pay at least 40 cents
q bushel over the fixed rate of $2.15
bushel for their wheat of last season.
This means that about S4O,OOO,OOO will
be distributed among the farmers of
Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
This sum represents the difference in
the price at which the wheat crop was
sold and the price that was fixed for
last seasons crop.
Canadian Wheat in Demand.
A declaration that Canadian wheat
would in all probability sell this year
at between So and So per bushel, was
made recently before a conference of
western supporters of the government
by DIR. Robert Magill. who was one of
deputation from the Winnipeg grain
exchange. DR.. Magill argued in IA
vor of open trading from the aspect
of world conditions. He stated that
no wheat could be exported from Rus
STA owing to internal troubles.
Roumania would have absolutely
none to export, India was prohibiting
export, while Australia's acreage
would fall from 100000 to 100000.
The result would be that Australia
would scarcely have enough to feed
herself, and there would be absolute
,ly no wheat for Europe, except from
the Argentine and North America.
DIR. Magill, according to formal an
nouncement, though 1t would be i'm
possible to secure as good price for
the producer by control as by the
open market. The United States mar
ket was now open, and, according to
present prospects, there would be
mighty little to spare from that quar-
ter. The net result would be that Ca
madam wheat would undoubtedly go

PROFITEER ALWAYS WITH US
Dealt With in South Africa
200 Years Ago.

The profiteering evil is no new thing
in South Africa. Specializing in the
foodstuffs of the people is recorded as
far back as 1925, and the present pro-
posals to legislate for the evil have
their counterpart in the placcaat is
sued nearly 200 years ago, an exchange
states. January 8, 1925, the reference
in the journal reads:
Corn harvest very bad. Placcaat
issued to prevent heartless spectators
from buying up the wheat to the In
jury Of the poor and creating mo-
nopoly; also to advise all to sell what
Is not required for their own use to the
company at the ordinary rates and not
to sell to one another"
The harvest failed in the following
year, and January 8, 1887, the journal
sets forth GAS the harvest has failed
miserably, because of the all-destroying
rust or honey dew, so that hardly any
grain has been delivered to the COM
pany, and as the farmers all complain
and, under the circumstances, the
plans of self-interested parties may be
thwarted (evidently the placcaat of the
previous year did not scotch the specu-
lator) a placcaat was published for.

GEORGE Eliot.

Most of George Eliot's novels are
studies in retribution, akin to Greek
tragedy and in general to Greek
modes of thought, whereby, as ex-
pressed POLITICALLY, when wrong Ia
done, the Eumenides., daughters of
earth and darkness, awake and re
venge it. 1t was likewise the He.
brew formula that they who sow the
wind shall reap the whirlwind. This
law, observed alike by pagan and
Jew, George Eliot modernized and
elaborated in detail in the light of the
science Of her day. Her method was
to lay before the reader the ante
cedents of a character like Doctor
Lydgate, to confront him suddenly
with the necessity Of an immediate
act having q distinctive moral quality,
and then to trace In all its windings
and turnings the influence of that act
not only upon him who committed 1t,
but upon others who are caught in
the meshes. 1--WE can conceive" she
remarks, paraphrasing Aeschylus, mo
retribution that does not spread be
yond its mark In pulsations of I'M
merited pain" Nothing is ever left
by George Eliot at loose ends; when
she finishes, the fabric is whole and

Review.

down into the station. Through tear

there! There was no doubt!
She caught the detectives arm, and
incoherently whispered and talked to
him. He suddenly seemed to grow
tense. Here, Space, keep this girl

She stood in the grasp Of the Off
Ger. and saw the other, putting him

door, go up and clap the other mildly

and suddenly that tall figure swung
with long strides toward her, and,
nearing her, she saw the friendly
face set with some emotion.
He came up to her. Little girl
owe you more than an apology. I did
a ridiculous stunt!"
AS he talked she heard the detec-
tive say to the other, 'It's all off.
Come on"
Wondering, dazed and weary with
the stress, she heard her station
friend saying, "Now come with me
to quiet place and let me explain"
She followed dumbly, half hearing
what he said, and found herself in a
little corner in winsome bit Of res
taurant. His mild eyes held her
gently, and the soothing tones Of his
voice stilled the tempest in her to
peace as he explained.

The mystery clear enough for her,
strangely happy that he was not the
thief, she said somewhat without rea-

wouldn't run away with It? And did
you catch him?"
A slow smile gathered on his face.

her heart jump-think she was run
ming away with it. But she could
wait no longer.
She caught up the case, and found
1t very heavy. but she started hur-
riedly for the door with 1t.
Sharply, as she passed through, an
arm caught hers, and voice with a
note of triumph in 1t greeted her pene-
tratingly:

are you going with that caseT'
She looked up with establishment
and fear. dimly wondering II some
friend of his had seen her or the
brown-eyed owner had returned. In
stead. she found herself looking into
the cold eyes of middle-aged man.
She explained rapidly, but her
breathlessness and anxiety were sus-
picious. She saw the gate swinging.
"Please, must get my train!"
mo" the cool voice said, mot yet.
I think you can put that Off. Sup
pose you come with me, make no fuss,
and we will tell you where to go"
She looked around with wild eyes
and wildly beating heart. A curious
crowd had collected and was rapidly
growing larger. The hand on her
arm frightened. With her train pull
ing out, there was nothing else to do !;
and she yielded.
From somewhere another man
seemed to come who placed himself
ON her left, and they led her through
corridors into an office, where a uni
formed man rose.

her." her first captor said, walking

Through the chaos in her mind, she
heard the words dimly, and out Of the
chaos began to creep a slow meaning
that left her white and trembling.
The grip had contained stolen
goods; these men were detectives, and
they had been watching for some one
with just such a case; and they had
found her-and he with the kind
brown eyes whose friendly glance had
won her heart with just one look

take the grip had hurried out, leaving

She had readily agreed without

saw his tall form disappear through

She looked at the case. 1t was large
and heavy; she did not wonder that
he had left 1t with her If he were
merely going to find out about some
train or ask some question at the in
formation window.
But he did not return, and the fact
worried her, for in short time her
own train would be pulling in. She
