GREAT IDEA
Wlicn Dingley who had been doing
pot boilers for the 10 ccnt monthlies
for ten or eleven years got an order
from a great magazine for his new
serial he was so delighted that ho
went right down and bought Mrs
Dingley a new set of mission furniture
She had been hinting for it for a year
and when the furniture man arrived
she was so excited that she fairly
danced in and out of the rooms study
ing effects and trying different ar
rangements Dingley however had
forgotten all about it by that time and
was deeply immersed in the plot of
his new serial A great idea had
just come to him So he shut himself
up in his den told his wife to go
ahead and fix things anyway she
liked and sat down to work out the
story
He had scarcely written three words
when there was a timid knock on his
door
Oh Richard cried Mrs Dingley
softly do come and tell me whether
you think he divan looks all right
in this corner or if it would be better
over by the window
In the goodness of his heart Ding
ley could not quench her joy so he
put down his pen and sallied forth to
give his expert opinion
Oh the thing looks good enough
there he said absent mindedly Say
Kitty what do you think of a heroine
with snow white hair Wouldnt that
be a stunner and
I dont know broke in Mrs Ding
ley thoughtfully whether it would be
in the way there or not We cer
tainly need something to fill in that
space but it is too much in the shadow
now to show the grain of the wood
and over by the window it would
Oh well repeated Dingley
change it round to suit yourself
Dont you take any interest
sighed Mrs Dingley crossly
Of course of course but
Well then help me to move it over
by the window and well try it there
Now that does look better doesnt
it
Lots better agreed Dingley get
ting his breath again Now Ill go
back and write
Wait a minute cried Mrs Dingley
I want you to put the shelves in the
book case I dont understand all
those dinky little screws and things
For 20 minutes Dingley labored with
the boards and props and tried to keep
his mind on the story Then he went
back to his den again
Richard dear called Mrs Dingley
just as he had gotten settled and
swung into the great idea once more
Ive decided to move the divan back
again It really takes up all the space
in that window and theres no room
for any plants and besides it shuts
out the light
Wearily Dingley rose and once more
applied himself to the task of moving
the heavy divan Then the chairs had
to be all replaced and the book case
shoved over into the space between
the windows After that Mrs Ding
ley could not be happy until some of
the pictures were changed around
lowered or shortened and reining It
took 15 minutes to decide just whether
each picture was straight or not while
Dingley stood on a shaky foot ladder
and Mrs Dingley stood off and squint
ed one eye to get the effect
Once more Dingley tired and dis
trait this time shut himself in his
den And once more the voice of his
wife called him back to earth again
Dearest it was the pleading voice1
of Mrs Dingley again would you
mind could I disturb you just once
more
Dingley swore softly under his
breath
What in thunder is it now he
growled Dont you know that if Im
not allowed to write this thing I cant
pay for the bloomin furniture
I know dear Mrs Dingleys voice
was almost tearful but this is most
important really
Dingley jerked open the door of his1
den
Well he demanded what do you
want Speak and be quick about it
Now dont be cross said Mrs
Dingley pouting Hut just look how
dreadful the whole thing looks against
that wall paper It wont do at all
Well do you want me to paper the
wall roared Dingley
No But Ive decided to change
things about a little and I just wanted
you to move it all into the other room
Dont you really think it would -look
better
Dingley laid down his pen popped
his paper into a drawer took off his
coat and spent the rest of the day
moving When the next day he re
turned to his serial his great idea
had fled The famous magazine bought
the thing he wrote but it was so com
monplace that they have never or
dered another and the Dingleys face
the proposition of living with that
mission furniture for the rest of their
lives
But Mrs Dingley insisted that her
husband is a genius and that it is
all the bad taste of editors and jeal
ousy and spite on their part that keeps
Dingley down He would be fa
mous if he only got half a chance
And Dingley thinks so too

TORTURED WITH ECZEMA
Tremendous Itching Over Whole Body
Scratched Until Bled Wonder
ful Cure by Cuticura
Last year T suffered with a tremen
dous itching on my back which grev
worse and worse until it spread over
the whole body and only my face and
hands were free For four months or
so I suffered torments and I had to
scratch scratch scratch until I bled
At night when I went to bed things
got worse and I had at times to get
up and scratch my body all over until
I was as sore as could be and until I
suffered excruciating pains They told
me that I was suffering from eczema
Then I made up my mind that I would
use the Cuticura Remedies I used
them according to instructions and
very soon indeed I was greatly re
lieved I continued until well and
now I am ready to recommend the Cu
ticura Remedies to any one Mrs

Squirrels as Waiters
It has taken Fisk Goodyear of
Burchtown Pa two years to train
his pet squirrels but his efforts are
now repaid and on Thanksgiving ho
treated his friends to a surprise
Gathering half a hundred or more
gray squirrels Mr Goodyear taught
them to go into the woods and pick
up nuts carrying them to his home
On Thanksgiving night at a dinner
his guests noticed a small board mn
ning from a window to a nut bowl
The host gave one knock on the table
with his knife A squirrel hopped
down the plank and dropped a chest
nut into the bowl Two raps brought
a squirrel with a walnut three knocks
a shellbark
Finally a grave old squirrel took
his place and cracked the nuts wind
ing up the performance by brushing
off the crumbs with his thick bushy
tail
The Sunny South
Now when all outdoor farm work
has ceased in the north the term
sunny south and all that it means
appeals with full gorce to the northern
farmer as he realizes that with him
it is a case of remaining indoors for
the next several months consuming
everything that has been produced
during the growing season In the
sunny south something can be
raised every month in the year and
practically every day can be spent out
doors No blizzards No sunstrokes
Cattle raising is very profitable Large
profits are made with little labor in
growing fruits vegetables etc for
northern markets Strawberries and
cantaloupes are great revenue getters
Water unsurpassed Work plentiful

ATTRACTIONS OF WESTERN
CANADA
Magnificent
Crop Returns
Year 1906
for the
The manner in which the Canadian
West has attracted settlers in recent
years has caused many of our journals
and public men to sit up and take no
tice to use a current phrase From
every European country and from al
most every State in the Union large
number of settlers have flocked to the
prairie provinces of Canada where
free homesteads and wide opportun
ities are open to all who desire to
avail themselves of them
The greatest factor in attracting
settlers lies in the inherent richness
of soil and suitability of climate for
producing what is universally consid
ered to be the finest wheat in the
world the No 1 Hard of Canadian
growth and other cereals that rank
in the very first class This year the
harvest returns were Wheat 90
000000 bushels oats 7G000000 bush
els barley 17000000 bushels and
when it is considered that the entire
population of the three provinces as
evidenced by the quinquennial census
just completed is only S10000 it is
easily seen that the lure of the Cana
dian West is in its agricultural poten
tialities
Another feature which attracts the
settler is that railway construction is
proceeding with such rapidity that al
most every district is within easy
reach of outside markets and that
good prices for all lines of farm prod
ucts rule practically from the com
mencement of agricultural operations
This is a factor which did not prevail
when the earlier settlements in the
West were made in Canada and in the
United States and has given a great
impetus to Canadian Western settle
ment in recent years
The free grant system of home
steads which prevails in the prairie
provinces by which every settler who
is able and willing to comply with the
conditions of actual settlement by no
means onerous is given 160 acres
free except 10 for entry is a great
drawing card and in the last fiscal
year gathered in over 1S9000 addi
tional to the western population of
which 57796 were from the United
States
The further fact as is strongly
brought about by the agent of the
Canadian Government whose address
appears elsewhere that a splendid
common school system practically
free prevails throughout the entire
country and is easy of access in even
the most remote districts is another
great inducement to the settler who
has the future welfare of his family
in mind and this coupled with the
fact that western Canadian law and
order are proverbial completes a
circle of good and sufficient reasons
why the tide of immigration has set
in so steadily toward the country to
the north of our boundary line
The Highest Bridge
Work is now in progress on a sus
pension bridge over the famous Roy
al gorge of the Arkansas river in
Colorado at a point where the chan
nel is only 50 feet wide at the bottom
and 230 feet wide at the top This
bridge will span the river 2G7 feet
above the surface of the water and
will be therefore by far the highes S
bridge in the world The material
will be of flat steel and steel cables
the curved girders finding secure at
tachment in the solid sides of the can
yon The floor of the bridge will be
of plate glass one and one half inches
thick to afford visitors the pleasure
of looking down the chasm On each
side will be strong high steel rail
ings The bridge is part of an elec

The Evils of Constipation
are many in fact almost every se
rious illness has its origin in consti
pation and some medicines instead of
preventing constipation add to it
This is true of most cathartics which
when first used have a beneficial ef
fect but the dose has to be contin
ually increased and before long the
remedy ceases to have the slightest
effect There is one preparation how
ever that can be relied upon to pro
duce the same results with the same
dose even after fifty years daily
use and this is Brandreths Pills
which has a record of over 100 years
as the standard remedy for constipa
tion and all troubles arising from an
impure state of the blood
Brandreths Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pill your grandparents
used and are for sale everywhere
either plain or sugar coated

Where Lawyers Are Unpopular
A lawyer made his appearance at
Colobar West Africa the other day
and a Gold Coast newspaper noting
the fact said It is very unsafe for
the people for lawyers to practice at
this place Their appearance in this
river will soon inveigle everyone who
is not careful into litigation and they
will feed on their folly thereby ruin
ing them
Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used In order to get the
desired stiffness it is usually neces
sary to use so much starch that the
beautv and fineness cf the fabric is
hidden behind a paste ot varying
thickness which not only destroys the
appearance but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods This trouWe
can be entirely overcome by using Do
fiance Starch as it can be appliel
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes
