Criminality of Waste.
If I wanted to train a child to be
thrifty I should teach him to abhor
waste. I do not mean waste of
money; that cures Itself, because very
soon there Is no money to waste but
waste of material, waste of something
that Is useful but that you cannot rep
resent In money value to the waster.
Thero Is waste of water, waste of gas
and things of that kind. If you would
wish your children to be thrifty I
would beg to impress upon them tho
criminality of waste. Lord Kosebery,
In au Edinburgh Address.
NO MEDICINE
But a Change of Food Cave Relief.
Many persons are learning that
drugs aro not tho thing to rebuild
worn out nerves, but proper food is
required.
i'horo Is a certain clement In tho
cereals, wheat, bnrloy, etc., which Is
grown thero by nature for food to bralu
und nerve tissue. This Is tho phos
phate of potash, of which Grape-Nuts
food contains a largo proportion.
In making this food nil tho food ele
ments in the two cereals, wheat and
barley, nre retained. That Is why so
many heretofore nervous and run down
people Und In Urapc-Nuts a true nerve
and brain food.
"Lean say that Grape-Nuts food has
done much for nio as n nerve renew

"A fow years ago, beforo my mnr

could not afford to do.
"Mother purchased somo Grape-Nuts

"I havo recommended It to friends

Abontfllr.PulInian'sCars
By
Charles Battell Loomis
(Copyright by W. O. L'liupiuun.)
I wonder if anyone knows the name
of tho man who first invented Pullman
cars. I've traveled a Kroat deal and
I notice that they call them Pullman
cars in every utato in the union. And
they nre all built on tho same pattern,
too In order to make a man appre
ciate the comforts of the homo he has
left.
I don't know much about practical
thines, but 1 should think that there
must have been a nood deal of money
la that Pullman Idea first and last. I
doubt If porters Ret as much as do
tho people who made the original card
and allowed persons In every state
to copy them ho accurately.
There's hardly ever any ventilation
In them. New Inventions como up
everywhere, and (hero aro even vil
lage Improvement Middles, but. who
ever heard of a Society for the Im
proving of Pullmans?
The only difference between a
Chinese opium Joint, nud a Pullman
car Is the fact that, there's no pipe
dream alxiut t ho Pullman. It's the
real tiling.
What would the authorities Kay In
Emerging from Upper
a Inrge city if they found a house
with hunks, curtained bunks at that,
curtained against the air, along the
walls of a small room, bunks capable
of accommodating 21 persons of both
sexes?
Why, they'd put a stop (o that lodg
ing bouse at once. "Tenement house
reform" abolished all those promiscu
ous and crowded sleeping apartments
long ago.
Hut this Pullman man has never
waked up. He seems to have dreamed
to himself: "If I can only charge per
sons a high enough rate and make
them believe that my customs are
immutable I'll make a success of this
thing."
That was his dream. And his dream
came true. People of all sexes walk
right up to the Pullman office and
they hand out two, three, five and ten
dollars for the privilege of being laid
on a shelf for a night or two.
Will you try to Imagine a self-respecting
woman in her home going
I t hind a curtain that does not hide
her llgure ami undressing there while
three or four strange gentlemen sit
In the same room talking or reading
magazines?
You know she would refuse to retire
In the first place, and If at last, over
come by fatigue, she felt that she had
to she would tusk the gentlemen If
they would retire also to some other
place. And they, being gentlemen,
would do so.
Put when she enters Mr. Pullman's
oblong box with tho double row of
cubby holes on either side of it and
a narrow .aisle down between them
she Is hypnotized, and without think
ing of the gentlemen who are sitting
reading in the only reservation not
yet converted Into beds, she "pulls
the drapery of her couch around her"
and gets ready to go by by as fast us
one can who Is humped Into every
now and then by stout persons woo
have just come aboard and who with
bags and umbrellas aro being con
ducted to their perdu s by an oleagin
ous porter.
In the homes of the mass of Amer
ican people whose ancestors were liv
ing here Kit years ago .men do not
walk around In their undershirts when
ready to perforin their morning ablu
tions, it Is considered anything but
good form to do such things.
Put Mr. Pullman changes all this
In his enchanted bower on wheels.
There, ns you. my lady, walk in your
dainty kimono to light for a place
nmnng the women who are' crowding
the lavatory, you meet several stout
und frowsy haired men in their nttber
way I
to thflr crowded lavatory.
Kut let ine not" a diff'Tence. I have
hi.ird that worm n sometimes snarl
ut one another in tho lavatory and
make remarks concerning slowness
and selfishness In "hogging" tho basin
too long.
Men are always hail -fellow-well
met while at their toilet operations,
and splash water all over everything
in the room with the utmost good na
ture, even walking carefully to avoid
lurching Into the crank who Insists
upon shaving with a real razor while
the car is going at tho rate of 60 miles
an hour.
I once heard of a drummer who had
spent 20 years In the cars of Mr. Pull
man, he being an unmarried man. Ho
srew to like their unaired compact
ness so much that when at last Hy
men lit his Pint neb. lamp to show the
drummer the way to the married statu
the man felt uncomfortable. In the
ordinary "large" room of an apart
ment house, and after fretting and
fuming for a week or two he had a
little house constructed In exact Imi
tation of a Pullman car.
Ho was a well-to-do man, and so he
was able to pay for tho lenthcr-llke
blankets and the wonderful mechanism
that converts a comfortable day seat
Into a cramped couch. Not only that,
but, til ing of a hospitable nature, he
was glad to keep "open house," as bo
called stuffing his frUnds Into the
sleeping boxes. And they do say that
he had a carpenter manage so that
the floor shook and lurched until on
of his guests broko a shoulder-blade
from being thrown out of an upper
berth.
I know he had an ex porter for n
house servant, and that fellow used,
from force of habit, to go through that
"car" ut about live in tho morning,
jui-t when sleep was most precious,
and poke the reclining sleepers with
his bony hand, saying: " Are you de
Two in a Silk Hat.
gentleman for Pittsburg? There In
t'lrty minutes."
There is something fascinating in
tho Pullman when you have become
med to the abandon and discomfort
end stuffiness of it, and after awhile
you can dress comfortably without
leaving your bed.
I well remember on one occasion
seeing the curtains part and from
a.i upper berth camo down tho ladder
an old gentleman in frock coat nnd
wearing a silk hat. Fancy emerging
from your bed at home so completely
dressed ns that! Let us bless Mr.
Pullman.

as her health would permit, until she
finally decided to walk ten miles daily.

"Wheatwyn, Sask., Nov. Cth, 1903.
"To tho Commissioner of Immigra
tion, Winnipeg, Manitoba. Dear Sir:
I, in company with my brother and
other relations, arrived In this coun
try In the spring of 1S93. At the time
we got off the train at Wolselcy, Sask.,
v.e bad only a few dollars, not enough
to start farming on our own account,
ej we were compelled to work out for
a considerable timo in order to make
sufficient money to enable us to es
tablish ourselves. When we thought
wo had enough money to start with, I
and my brother took up one quarter
section (100 acres) land each In the
Loon Creek district. In 1900 we moved
on our homesteads with one team of
horses and one walking plow. While
I was engaged with the work in the
field, my brother built a shack and
barn of logs, which we have hauled
during the time we were not ablo to
work in the field. Wo were certainly
working very hard, but I am glad to
say that we made our fortune In this
country. To day we do not need to
work so hard as we used to, as we
havo three men hired steady for
whom we pay $30.00 to $10.00 a month,
besides board and lodging during the
summer time! I am also glad to tell
you that to-day we are owners of a
section and three-quarters of the best
land, with first class buildings thereon,
besides having nil tho necessary ma
chinery. We always do our own
threshing, for wo have a 22 horse
power threshing outfit.
"Our success in farming in this
country, also enabled us to get rid of a
number of horses of les3 value, and
instead wo bought 10 pure-bred mares,
representing a value In the neighbor
hood of $j,000.
"Regarding raising grain, which 13
tho main factor In our district, I am
proud to say that we have always
had good success. We have raised
wheat as high as 33 bushels to tho
acre; and this year, although we suf
fered from lack of sulllcient rain, our
wheat went 27 bushels to the acre,
and we had 900 acres in crop. We
have broken this year about 100 acres
new land, and by next year wo will
have about 1,110 acres in crop. For
one carload of wheat which we have
shipped a few weeks ago we got a
price of 97 cents per bushel, and it
graded as No. 2 Northern, although wo
have a quantity of wheat which will
surdy go as No. 1 Northern. During
tho six years wo havo been farming
for ourselves we have never had one
frost around here, so that wo always
had a good crop.
"I, for myself, feel compelled to say
that our Great West Is the land where
a person who Is willing to work and
trim his hands to anything, can make
a fortune, and a comfortable living.
Our country is a thoroughly free coun
try, and wo have a good Government;
and, ts long as wo have good crops,
and a good Government, wo are satis
fied, and I think that Is all we want
