My stenographer is right here, and will make a note of everything I say.’ “In a kind of huff I asked the man if he was afraid I would go back on my word unless it was down in black and white. “ ‘Not at all,’ said he, ‘but this is a custom of mine. Everything I say over the telephone is taken down by my sten ographer, and in matters of importance I like the other fellow to do the same.* “Of course I had no objection, so, al though it seemed a needless precaution, the girl made a note of my disjointed sentences.’ A reputation for being clever Is about the hardest thing that can attack a man and about the time the fact is j established it is found that his stories • are repeaters and his witticisims are of ancient vintage.

Anderson, of Maidstone, Sas katchewan. was formerly of Minnesota, and has been in Central Canada three years. On January 16, 1910, he writes: "Arriving fifteen miles from Maid stone, 1 bought a couple of steers from a rancher, as my capital was not large, and with the two oxen 1 brought with me, I broke 25 acres which I put in crop in 1908, and had to clear some brush. I earned J45.00 by breaking fifteen acres for a neighbor and dur ing the summer I put up hay and hauled timber and put up houses for othersettlers. Notwithstanding aheavy frost on August 12th, 1 had 22% bush els of wheat per acre and 60 bushels of oats. Oft 35 acres of wheat in 1909, I got 27 bushels of wheat per acre and 1,300 bushels of oats ofT 20 acres. I never saw such fine wheat anywhere. We have plenty of rain between May and August and after August seldom any but dry, warm days. Water can be had at from 20 to 40 feet, and plenty of grass for cattle.” The evidence of Mr. Anderson is giv en because it is encouraging to the man of small means who is desirous of bettering his condition. It shows what can be done, and there is really but small limit to the man with push and energy to become wealthy on Can adian lands. And the grain that he raises Is good. A press dispatch says: The quality of the wheat continues to be the feature of the deliveries. In the total of 3,378 cars in the Febru ary inspections there were 2,847 of high grade stuff, a percentage of 84.28. For January the percentage was 82.21, and for the six months it was 88.6. This is an unusually high average, and it demonstrates beyond the shadow of a doubt that the farmers in this part of the Dominion still know how to grow first class wheat. The crop of 1908 was considered good enough, and its average of contract wheat was only 70 per cent. Good weather through out the season was an Important fac tor, of course, in Insuring the high quality of the grain, and it is not likely that atmospheric influences of so favorable a character will be en countered for a long time to come. The best that can be expected Is that a fair average for a term of years will be maintained. The Cat "Yumped." From the Boston Record. The Nieklingtons, suburban household ers, brought back from the beach a cat which the Sweoir.h maid discovered there and had gradually educated to do some athletic tricks. Mr. Nlckllngton was en deavoring to demonstrate to visitors what had been taught. Making a hoop of his arms, he Invited the cat to leap through the opening. "Jump! Jump! jump!” he bade the fe line, coaxlngly. Kitty never stirred, but turned away In indifference. The maid arrived. Nlckllngton ex pressed his disappointment. The maid, Olga, Insisted that it could perform and would. "Here,” she commanded to the cat. “Come, Yump! yump! yump!” The cat yumped through llthely and gracefully.

Thevceiisus taker rapped at the door of the little farm house and opened his long book. A plump girl of IS came to Ithe door, and blinked at him stupidly. "How many people live here?" he be gan. "Nobody lives here. We are only stay ing through the hop season.” "How many of you are there here ?” “I’m here. Father's In the woodshed, and Bill Is—” "See here, my girl, I want to know how many Inmates there are in thl3 house. How many people slept here last night?” "Nobody slept here, sir. I had the toothache dreadful, and my little brother had the stomach ache, and the new hand that’s helping us got sun burned so on his back that he has blis ters the size of eggs, and we all took on so that nobody slept a wink all night long." The Bride's Cake. From the Kansas City Times. An Idependence girl, who married and went away not so very long ago, came back to visit her relatives last week. The girl had never known anything about cooking, so when she volunteered to bake a cake her sisters were surprised. "You can’t bake, can you?” one of them asked. "Just you wait and see,” replied the bride. "I've learned a few things about the culinary art since I was married. I'll hake the dearest cake you ever saw.” She labored half an hour mixing the In gredients and then the sweetened material was placed In the oven of the gas stove. "It's going to bake beautifully,” she said. Five minutes later she looked In the oven. "Yes," she said, "it will be the love liest cake I ever baked.” Fifteen minutes passed and then she iuunru ii/sum. x uci c naa buiuciuuif, wrong. The cake batter was not baking, but was becoming hardened. “What’s the matter with your cake?" asked one of the bride's sisters. “I really don’t know," said the bride, in a way that showed worry. “Well, I’ll tell you," said the sister, with a smile, “you haven’t lighted the gas un« der your oven. Hobson's Choice. From Youth’s Companion. A story recently told by Thomas ^Hunter, president of the New York Normal col lege, seems to indicate that once In a while a willing wife Is spoiled to make an unwilling teacher. A pretty and agreeable young woman who lived in a country village suddenly announced that she was going to take up teaching. “You! You a school teacher!" exclaimed the recipient of her confidence. “Why, I’d rather marry a widower with nine chil dren!" “So would I,” the young woman replied, frankly, “but where is the widower?" Consolation for the Ice Man. From Harper’s Weekly. There Is an evangelist in Boston who is so devout that, so his friends aver, he scarcely ever permits himself a secular thought or his tongue a worldly word. It appears that this evangelist has a very bright daughter, aged 5. Not long since she answered the door bell and found there the Ice man with a bill. “Father Is not home,” she said, “but if you will come In, you poor, perishing soul, perhaps mamma will pray for you." The Martyrdom of Statesmanship. From the Chicago Record-Herald. "I hear, senator," said the inquisitive young lady, “that it cost you $20,000 to be elected." “Yes, approximately that." "Well, that will leave you only $10,000 for six years’ work. Isn’t that rather small for a man of your ability?" “For a man of my ability it is rather small, but I expect the sacrifice to be not wholly In vain. In fact, I have already been retained as attorney for three large corporations that would have been injured by the passage of bills which I intended to Introduce. 3o you see there are honest ways in which a man may be compensated for the annoying expenditures which In the age of graft and chicanery the high minded servant of the people must make in order to help to preserve the foundations of the republic." Temptations of a Valet. From the Philadelphia Bulletin. “Us valets has our temptations, sir," he said. “Only yesterday, when I went to pay Mr. Henny’s tailor bill, you’d ought to ha,ve heard what the manager said to me. “He says, says he, handing me a flve dollar note: “ ‘Why,’ he says, ’this here bill ain’t harf big enough for a man of Mr. Henn’s position,” he says. "Look a here, my man,’ he says ‘the truth Is that you don’t brush your marster's clothes hard enough.’ “ ‘No?’ says I. “ ‘No,’ says he. ‘And now,' he says, ‘I’ll put you up to a wrinkle that’ll put $G0 a year in your pocket if you use It right.’ “Then he brought from his office a stick all roughened on the end. “ ‘Scrub this hero rough stick,’ he says, ‘over the elbows of your marster’s coats,' he says, ‘and now and then touch up his trousers about the knees a bit. It’ll do wonders, used right. It ought to double his annuall bill, and if it does there's $o( a year in it for you.’ “I took the stick," said the valet, “bul I ain’t never used, it, sir." Dangerous Railroading. A newspaper writer, meeting Lord Brassey at Red Bank, N. J., asked the distinguished foreigner if he feared to travel on American railroads. “Oh, no,Lord Brassey answered. “Your American railroads kill a good many people in the year's course; but we must remember that they carry a good many people a good many miles. In pro portion, probably, they do no more dam age than the railroads of France or of Scotian^. “The Scottish railroads used to be very dangerous indeed. To ride on them was like traveling through a desolate country infested with brigands. “The famous Dr. Norman Macleod was once about to set off on a long railway Journey through Scotland. Just as the train .was pulling out, the clergyman’s servant put his head in through the win dow and said: “ ‘Ha’e ye ta’en an insurance ticket?’ “ ‘I have,’ the doctor answered. “ ‘Then,’ said the servant, ‘write yer name on it, and gi’e it to me. They ha’e an awfu’ bad habit o’ robbin’ the corpses on this line.’ ” Causes Some Confusion.

Stop tOcmm, QmLSoM&k This Fact — that in addressing Mrs. Pinkham you are con. fiding your private ills to a woman—a woman whose ex perience with women’s diseases covers twenty-five years. The present Mrs. Pinkham, daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, was for years under her direction, and has ever since her decease continued to advise women. Many, women suffer in silence and drift along from bad to worse, knowing well that they ought to have immediate assistance, but a natural modesty causes them to shrink from exposing themselves to the questions and probable examinations of even their family physician. Such ques tioning and examination is unnecessary. Without cost you can consult a woman whose knowledge from actual experience is great. MRS. PINKHAM’S STANDING INVITATION: Women sufferingfrom any form of female weakness are in vited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by women. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to a woman; thus has been established this confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken. Never has she published a testi monial or used a letter without the written consent of the writer, and never has the company allowed these confi dential letters to get out of their possession, as the hun dreds of thousands of them in their files will attest. Out of the vast volume of experience which Mrs. Pink ham has to draw from, it is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge needed in your case. She asks nothing in return except your good will, and her advice has helped thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor, should be glad to take advantage of this generous offer of assistance.
