LITTLE RUSE DIDN'T SUCCEED
... i
Youngster's 8cheme Was All Right,
But Economical Father Wat. a
Match for Him.
Tho proprietor of the most promi
nent hotel in tho town of S . Ky,
1b man of a very economical nature,
In fact ho la an extremist In this
feature. Ho has a six-year-old, red
headed son that didn't lnhorlt his
fathor's economical disposition. Re
cently tho son was very much In need
of a flve-cont plcco for soda water
purposes. Ho went Into tho dining
room, whero ho was frco from observa
tion, and removed his shoo strings
and placed them In his hip pocket for
future reference. Itetunilng to the
ofllco ho approached his father and
said:
"Pa, Blvo mo n nickel to get me a
..pair of shoo Btrlngs."
His father glanced down at his
son's shoes, then turning around ap
proached tho ofllco Bafo nnd opened
It In silence. Ho took out tho cash
box and raising tho lid oxtracted a
pair of now shoo strings which ho
banded to his son without a word.
Vac youngster took tho BtrlngB with a
crestfallen air and then to tho amuse
ment of tho 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 Buffering.
Tho eruption began In pimples which
would open nnd run, making largo
cores. His hair camuout and flngor
sails fell off, and tho sores woro over
tho entlro body, causing little or no
Bleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would como off when I rcmovod his
shirt.
"Wo tried a great many remedies,
but nothing would holp him, till a
friend induced mo to try tho Cutlcura
Soap nnd Ointment. I used tho Cutl
cura Soap and Ointment but a short
tlmo beforo I could boo that ho was
Improving, and In six weeks' tlmo he
was entirely cured. Ho had suffered
about six weeks beforo wo tried the
Cutlcura Soap and Ointment, although
wo had tried sevoral other things, and
doctors, too. I think tho Cutlcura Rem
edles will do all that is claimed for
them, and n great deal more."
(Signed) Mrs. Noblo Tubman, Dodson,
Mont., Jan. 28, 1911. Although Cutl
cura Soap nnd Ointment aro sold by
druggists and dealers everywhere, a
. sample of each, with 32-pago book,
will bo mailed frco on application to

Thoy aUo secured evidence In the

Soon nftcr President Taft appointed
Governor Hughes to tho Supreme

Then ho and Mrs. Hughes spent

they wcro disnppolntod again, and

For a long tlmo ho debated whether

ALTHOUGH It Is tho common
thought that most of the men
working on tho great Panama Canal
loft their religion behind thonf In tho
states, those who llvo in the Canal
zono know there aro many who ob
serve tho laws of Moses and lead tho
same pure lives they did at homo.
When tho canal was begun family
quarters were built, many men
brought or sent for their wives nnd
children, and It has paid. Family lifo
and tho presence of good women In
their homes hnve been powerful in
fluences for good. Thcso families
coming from overy Btato In tho Union
meant that schools and churches must
bo provided. Again Undo Sam mot

employed to attend to the religious
needs of tho Americans In tho zone.

would keep' an engagement with a
friend at the capltol, decided to while
away nn hour at a moving picture
show. He started to purchase a tick

but, Instead of buying a ticket, ho got
a wlfo and hastened to a near-by par
sonage. Miss Althea Prlco was sdlling tick

to bo tho same young lady with whom
tho young Frenchman had plighted his
troth months ago, only to loso all
track of her when he was called to
France to sottlo up an estate.
Viscount Jean Baptisto came to
Washington a year ago and, becoming
financially embarrassed, got a Job.
Ho happened to get a position whore
Miss Prlco was working. He soon

Dcsplto 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 nn alarming extent and la
finding Its new victims largely In tho
white population. This is mado possible-
partially by drug smuggled from
Canada and along tho Pacific coast,
and partly by tho manufacture of
smoking opium In this country from
crude opium brought In as a medicinal
drug. Of this smuggled article moro
than 250,000 pounds havo been seized
In tho last two years. In 1910 moro
than 400.000 pounds of tho drug wore
brought in as medicinal opium. It Is
estimated that at least 100,000 pounds
wcro micccssfully smuggled' ncross
tho border in 1910, and that 10.000 ad
ditional pounds aro manufactured an
nually from crudo opium.

Shortly after work was started on

and was bought In by a speculative

of twouty two-story "box" houses.
Tho houses wero completed six
weeks before tho roof was on tho
Hughes houso. Tho houses did not
appeal to whlto purchasers or tenants,
and were promptly offered to negroes,
who hastened to .locato In such a

Eight chapels wero built, and overy

CANADA'S IMMENSE
WHEAT FIELDS
THE ATTRACTION FOR THREE
TRANSCONTINENTAL RAIL
WAYS.
Last August thoro visited tho Cana
dian west tho Ylco-proBldcnt of tho
largest Individual hardware compass
la tho United States. As his Arm have
a turnover of millions, and deals ex
tensively with farm Implements, this
man took a deep Interest in crop con
ditions In Canada, nnd on his return
ho embodied his findings in an article
for tho Hardwaro Reporter. This ar
ticle should bo of special Interest to
farmers.
Tho writer speaks of tho Importance
of tho spring wheat crop of Western
Canada. Ho might also t havo spoken
of tho importance of tho oat crop and
also of tho winter wheat crop, as well
as barley. Winter1 Wheat during tho
past fow years hna been a great suc
cess, and experiments havo shown
that It can bo grown with success In
almost any portion of tho throo prov
inces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta. But apart from 'this, tho
Bprlng wheat crop is tho ono generally
grown, and nil who know anything of
grain, nnyono who has had anything
to do with markets, knows or has
heard of tho high character of this
cereal and tho splendid yields that are
annually produced. Reproducing from
this article:
"In n land of Buch great sweep, and
of such difference in Boll and climate,

only fear now among Canadian econ

about two and one-half per cent of
possible arablo lands In tho northwest
provinces is now under cultivation,
and this year tho crop promises to
be close to 200,000,000 bushels, so
