LITTLE RUSE DIDN'T SUCCEED Younotter's 8cheme Wa Ali Right, But Economical Father Wai a Match for Him. The proprietor of the roost promi nent hotel In tho town of S , Ky., a n man of a very economical nature, in fact ho Is an extremist In this reature. H0 has a slx-yeaMld, red headed son that didn't Inherit his lathers economical disposition. Re cently tho son was very much In noed of a fivo-cont ploco tor soda wator purposes. Ho went Into the dining room, whero ho was free from observa tion, and removed his shoo strings and placed them In his hip pocket for futuro reference. Returning to the offlco he approached his father and said: ,"Pa, give me a nickel to got me a pair of shoe Btrlngs." His father glanced down nt his son's shoos, then turning around ap proached tho offlco safo and opened It In silence. Ho took out tho cash box and raising tho lid extracted a pair of now shoo strings which be handed to his Bon without a word. The youngster took the strings with a crestfallen air and then to tho amuse ment of the onlookers exclaimed: "Stung again, by granny." BABY'S TERRIBLE SUFFERING "When my baby was six months old, his body was completely covered with largo sores that seemed to Itch and burn, and causo terrlblo suffering. Tho eruption began in pimples which would open and run, making largo Bores. Ills hair came out and flngor nalla fell off, and tho sores woro over tho ontlro body, causing liltlo or no sleep for baby or myRelf. Great scabs would conic off when I removed his ehlrt. "Wo tried a great many remedies, but nothing would help him, till a friend Induced mo to try tho Cutlcura Soup and Ointment I used tho Cutl cura Soap and Ointment but a short tlmo beforo I could see that ho was Improving, and in six weeks' time ho wbb entirely cured. Ho had suffered about s'lx weeks beforo wo tried the Cutlcura Soap and Ointment, although wo had tried several other things, nnd doctors, too. I think tho Cutlcura Rem edies will do all that is claimed for them, nnd n great deal more." (Signed) Mra. Noble Tubman, Dodson, Mont, Jan. 28, 1911.

TAKE A COURSE OF THE BITTERS At Once It Will Do Yob Good JO Drug Dens Are Found Near the Capitol WASHINGTON. Rovcnuo officers and dotectlvcs in Washington raided four Chlneso opium dens with in 500 yards of the Capitol and confis cated about $8,000 worth of tho drug. Thoy also secured evldcnco In tho shape of hairpins, women's clothing and shoes to Indicate that the places wcro frequented by largo numbers of women. Tho rulda were tho beginning of a series that aro planned by the authorities who havo been watching tho activities of Chlneso in Washing ton for several months. In recent raids In Los Angeles, Cal., tho pollco havo unearthed a now Bya tern of concealing opium. They were disappointed in tho raids of the past fow weeks for whilo thoy took many suspicious-looking packages, all were sealed with what appeared to bo rovo nuo stamps used on boxes of confec tionery. On opening pome of the Hughes' Palace Now in a Black Belt J WHEN Justlco .Charles E. Hughes of tho Supremo court takes posses sion of his $100,000 liQine, which will bo finished in a fow weoks, ho will bo tho only whlto man living In tho block which his houso faces. Soon after President Taft appointed Governor Hughes to tho Supreme court ho came to Washington and' spent several days looking for a house. He was not satisfied with any thing on tho market and rented a large, old fashioned houso in Massa chusetts nvenuo for his first season. Then ho and Mrs. Hughes spent many afternoons houso hunting, but thoy wero disappointed again, nnd decided finally to build a homo. Jus tlco Hughes said at tho tlmo that, as ho oxpeetcd to spend tho grcator part of his life In this city, he wished to haye a home that satisfied him In every particular. For a long tlmo ho debated whether ho would build In Massachusetts ave nue of Sixteenth street, tho two most fashionable streets in the city. Ho ehoae tho latter finally, and bought a good-sized lot on the corner of Six teenth and V streets. The lot has a frontago In Sixteenth street of about thirty feet and 100 In V Btreet In ' i Uncle Sam Has 8 Churches in Panama l ihihk tve DONE MY DUTY TO THE CANAL WORKERS ALTHOUGH It Is tho common thought that most of tho men working on tho great Panama Canal left their religion bohlnd them In tho states, i those who live in tho Canal zono know there are many who ob serve tho laws of Mohcb and load the same puro lives they did at home. " When tho canal was begun family quarters wero built, mnuy men brought or sent for their wives nnd children, and It has paid. Family life and the presence of good women in their homes have been powerful In fluences for good. TIicbo fnmllles coming from every state in tho Union meant that schools and churches must bo provided. Again Undo Sam mot tho need, and nt every town along tho line of the canal built schoolhouscs and churches. Teachers were obtain ed from tho states. Chaplains wero employed to attend to the rollgious noeds of tho Amorlcans In the zone. Found Lost Fiance VISCOUNT JEAN BAPTISTE DE VENTURA, a French officer, stroll ing along Pennsylvania avenue, wait ing for tho time to arrive when ho would keep an engagement with n friend at the capitol, decided to while away an hour at a moving picture show. Ho started to purchase a tick et at the first theater on the route, but, InBtend of buying a ticket, ho got a wife nnd hastened to a near-by par sonage. Miss Althea Prlco was selling tick ets at the theater, and she hnpponod to bo tho same young lady with whom tho young Frenchman had plighted his troth months ngo, only. to loso all track of her when ho was called to Franco to Bottle up an estate. Viscount Jean Baptlote came to Washington a year ago and, becoming financially omlmrrassed, got a Job, Ho happened to get a position where Miss I'rico was working. Ho soon lost his heart and gavo up his Job to go homo to got some money which h had Inherited. Ho was to return as soon as ho got the cash nnd make Miss Prlco Viscountess do Ventura. Months passed, MIbs Price moved to another boarding house, and when the viscount returned with the cash he r Km ( boxes it was shown every ono con tained opium. Boxes, supposed to contain Chlneso tea, woro also found full of opium. Sqmo boxes labolcd ginseng also contained tho drug. Tho second lnternntlonll opium confer enco will begin Dec. 1 at Tho Haguo. An Invitation from the Netherlands government to nttend has been re ceived nt tho state department Despite tho prohibitory law of 1009, which makes It Illegal to bring Into tho United States smoking opium, opium smoking still prevails in this country to an alarming extent and la finding Its new victims largely In tho whlto population. This Is made possi ble partially by drug smuggled from Canadn and along tho Pacific coast, and partly by tho manufacture of smoking opium in this country from crudo opium brought In as a inodlclnal drug. Of this smuggled nrtlcle mow than 2CO.00O pounds have been seized Iri the last two years. In 1910 moro thnn 400.000 pounds of tho drug were brought In as medicinal opium, it Is ootimntcd that at least 100.000 pounds were successfully smuggled acrona tho border In 1910, ahd that 10,000 ad ditional pounds aro manufactured an. nually from crudo' opium. OIS AM A, REAt MICE NEIGHBOR HOOD f order to havo an effective cntrnnco ho decided to havo tho rcBldonco face V stroet. Thcro wnB no other house of any sort In V street Tho property had been held for years nt a high prlco nnd remained vacant Shortly after work was started on both sldoB of V street betweon Six teenth nnd Seventeenth BtreotB was announced for snlo at a greatly re duced prlco. Tho land had to bo sold and wns bought In by a speculative builder, who started tho construction of twenty two-story "box" houses. Tho houses were completed six weoks before tho roof was on tho Hughes house. The houses did not appeal to whlto purchasers or tenants. and were promptly offered to negroes, who hastened to locato In such a swell" neighborhood. Although they havo been on tho market but a short tltno, sovonteen of them aro occupied Eight chapels wero built, and ovcry ono has nt least ono sorvlco each Sabbath. These nro two-story build ings with lodge rooms on tho second floor. Tho room on tho ground floor known as tho church Is capable of seating about 2C0 people. A pulpit at ono end of tho room, piano and somo folding chairs constitute the furnish ings. All authority rests In a body elected by tho peoplo uttendlng tho church. Tho oxecutlvo council of tho church In Cristobal 1b composed of men of every denomination. There are ono Methodist, two Baptist, two Presby terians, ono Congrcgatlonnllst nnd ono Lutheran, Tho membership is mndo up of "those who lovo tho Lord." Mem bership in tho homo church Is not changed, for no ono In tho "zone" ex poctB to Btny long. Tho sorvlco Ib broad; the hymns nro those well known in all denominational circles, and altogether they nfford n good "il lustration of tho practicability of church union.

These are managed by tho Indies In terested and uro a means of welcom lug the never-ending newcomers. at a Picture Show could not locate her. After months of futllo search he left Washington and established himself In Now York. Ho came here on business, still on tho lookout for MIsb Prlco. When tho viscount saw Miss Price his hat, firms nnd volco all went up In tho ntr. As soon aB tho girl could ox trlcato herself from the booth and tho ream or tlckotB in which she bo came entangled bIio forgot all about business until tho manager or tho theater hastened to roprovo her for ruining his trade by keeping the crowds watching a show on the out side Instead of on the Insldo. Tho viscount scoffed at tho man agcr. and, arm In arm, ho and tlio erstwhile ticket seller hurried around to tho residence of tho Rev. W. L. Dovrles. Tho parson tied tho knot and tho pair left on a train for New York, where they will live. CANADA'S IMMENSE WHEAT FIELDS THE ATTRACTION FOIt THREE TRANSCONTINENTAL RAIL WAY. Last August thcro -visited the Cana dian west tho vlco-prcsldont of tho largest Individual hardware company in tho Unttod States. As his firm have a turnover of millions, and deals ex tensively with farm Implements, this man took a deep Interest la crop con ditions in Canada, and on his return ho embodied his findings In an artlclo for tho Hardware Reporter. iThls ar tlclo should bo of special Interest to farmors. Tho writer speaks of tho Importance of tho spring 'wheat crop of Western Canada. Ho might also havo spoken of tho Importance of tho oat crop and also of tho winter wheat crop, as well as barloy. Wlntor wheat during the past fov years has been a great suc cess, and experiments have shown that It can bo grown with success In almost any portion of tho thrco prov inces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. But apart from thin, tho spring wheat crop la tho ono generally grown, nnd all who know anything of grain, nnyono who' has had anything to do with markets, knowB or has heard of tho high character of this cereal and tho splendid yields that aro annually produced. Reproducing from this artlclo: "In a land of such great sweep, nnd of such dlfforcnco lu soil nnd climate, there aro many resources, but nono aro at present of tho snmo overwhelm ing lraportanco oa tho cprlng wheat crop. In tho interminable prnlrlo ctrctchcs of tho northwest provinces It is tho ono absorbing topic of Inter est and of conversation during Its growing and its harvesting, for upon Its success or falluro hangs tho weal or .woo of a largo part of tho Domin ion. Its Influence cxtonds fnr down Into tho United StntoB, drawing thou sands of farmors northwards with tho lure of cheap lands, but llkowlso be yond tho great lakes, oven to tho cusy going maritlmo provinces, calling tho flower of their young men to Its op portunities. Development in these prnlrlo provinces goes on at high pres euro for everything hnngs on tho out co nio of spring wheat. Success has emboldened tho raisers of this ono all Important crop, nnd each year thcro is further Incursion into those north ern fields that only a short tlmo ago wero regarded as Arctic wastes. Tho Canadian Northwest seems to bo ono of thoso modorn agricultural examples sot forth to drlvo tho final nail In tho coffin of that anclont Multhuslan de lusion that population tends to outrun the means of subsistence, slnco the only fear now among Canadian econ omists Is as to tho danger of over stocking tho whoat market Only about two and ono-half per cent of posBlblo arablo lands "in the northwcs provinces Is now under cultivation! and this year tho crop promises to bo closo to 200,000,000 bushels, bo that your imagination and your arith metic can easily supply tho answer aB to tho posslblo or oven probable out come" During tho months of July and Au gust tho weather waa unfavourable and tho production of a 200 million yield of wheat will not likely bo real ized, but evon with this, tho threshing reports coming to hand Bhow that tho crop will bo a splendidly paying ono. Ruskln Pitied Americans. It la not only tho half million bricks of Tattcrshall that have been numbored for trans-shipment across tho Atlantic. RuBkln, when be was a boy, pitied tho Amerlcnns for being so unhappy as to Uvo In a country that has no castles. Thoy will havo a castlo now, nnd no nation Ukos to bo pitied. But tho other importation, made by Mrs. Gardner as an addition to her Italian villa near Boston, was that of an entire chapel ns It stands, with all Its Interior furnishings, evon to the half-burned candles in tho al tar. Tho monks who served the chapel had been scattered by tho strong hand of the law, and tho building was to bo dovoted to tho pick ax. Tho courageous American lady had it packed up in a Venetian hill country, whero it stood, and car ried down plocomoal and embarked. London Chronicle. Risky Business.
