Bold by J?-"'- t?l SPORT IN WESTERN CANADA! While the Farmer's . Grata la Ripening and His Stock Growing Fat He May Have Fleaty of Shooting. There Is probably no country on the American Continent where the life of the farmer carries with It that assur ance of comfort and success as does Western Canada. Nor Is there to be fouid anywhere else such a pleasant combination. Game abounds every- w here and nowhere doea it afford such perfect amusement. A noted sports man writing of the favorite pastime says: "There Is one particular spot where I saw a man drop seventy raal lards one morning and bring them all to bag. too. for they dropped in open water or on flat prairie. At the right season of the year you can see black lines and triangles cut sharply out against the sky all round you, moving very swiftly, and you begin to wonder whether you have enough cartridges to hold out. You can hear the pralr.e chicken crowing like barn-door fowls. and a little to the northeast Is a bit of marshy ground, cattle-poached and dappled with gleaming pools, where the snipe are nearly as thick as mos ouitoes. A thin column of blue smoke curling up In the distance shows you where a few wandering Indians have pitched their camp, but there Is no other Indication of civilization In sight. Still, the neighborhood Is well settled, and a short drive will bring you to a farmhouse, where you can buy the finest butter and the freahest eggs for uncivilized prices. A very short railway Journey will bring you to a country full of deer and the lordly wapiti, the king of the deer tribe the world over, and down on the flat, boggy land by the lake shores the moose will stand knee deep in water on the summer evenings ready to lie down when the flies get bothering. All day you breathe the wild free air of the prairie, and at night you are lulled to sleep by the surge and ripple and splash of the waves on the beach, broken now and then by the wlerd banshee-cry of strange water-fowl." Particulars regarding settlement of the lands of Western Canada can be had from any agent of the Canadian gov ernment, whose advertisement appears elsewhere in your columns. OLD READER.

The American Missionary associa tion makes public a report from one of its representatives in Nashville, Tenn.. concerning the death rate among the negroes of the south. The report states that in the represen tative southern cities for the past five years the death rate of the whites has been 20 in 1,000; that of the colored people 32, in 1,000. The south is said not to have shown much concern about the rapid Increase of the negro, since the census of 1900 made it appear that In the ten years previous the black race increased 24 per cent and white 23.91 per cent. The death rate of the negro is greatest under the age of 15 and least at the higher ages. The race is subject to a higher death rate than the whites from the following diseases: 1. Consumption at all ages. but especially between the ages of 15 and 45. 2. All diseases of Infants. The colored mother too often does not know how to take care of her Infant. 3. Pneumonia at all ages. Scrofula and contagious diseases seem also on tha Increase. New Library Scheme. A new departure In library service has been inaugurated by the public li brary at Springfield, Mass., where 100 persons Save agreed to pay 5 cents a week for ten weeks for home delivery of books. Each patron specifies ten books at the start and the time of use 13 the same as if called for at the li brary by the user. The innovation. It Is believed, will greatly add to the pat ronage of the library. If it proves a public accommodation the example will doubtless be adopted throughout the country. Rosaries and Arcordons. At Loreto, Italy, an establishment foi the manufacture of rosaries occuplei thirty-five female adults for an average of 250 days a year. The annual pro duction amounts to 35,000 dozen ro saries, which are disposed of at Loreto and other places in Italy. At Castel 15 Jard o and Loreto 160 hands are em ployed In three establishments for the manufacture of accordions, which are largely exported to the United States of America.

Thompson, accompanied by his wife, left Lincoln for New York, where he sails on the 13th for a two or three months' tour of Europe and Asia. 'I have not the faintest Idea of where we will go or what we will see when we get across the ocean," said Mr. Thompson In speaking of his trip". 1 have been in every country of Eu rope already and chance will determ ine what scenes we will revisit. There is one trip, however, that I am de termined on making before we come home. That Is the trans-continental Journey by rail and water from St. Petersburg across Siberia and Man churia to Vladlvostock. The distance is about 13.000 miles and two weeks are consumed In the trip. All but about 1,000 miles, which is by steamer on the Ameer river, is by rail. I have been told that the train, which car ries passengers on this long flight across country is a model of Its kind, exceeding In comfortable equipment even the best of our American trains. and I want to see for myself how they manage such long railroad journeys in other lands than ours."

CAN'T HAVE HIS CHILD. Court Denies a Nebraska Van Fosssi of BU Own Baby. NEW TORY. June 3. Frank B. Weyant, the wealthy owner of a cattle ranch near Lincoln. Neb., mads &n un successful effort in the supreme court here to obtain the custody of his In fant child, Gladys. About a year ago Mrs. Weyant came to Brooklyn with his wife to pay a visit to his rela tives. While here the child was born and the mother died a few days after the birth. Mr. Weyant returned to Nebraska to attend to his business In terests there, leaving the child with hia brother, Henry S. Weyant, and his wife, Lizzie. A few months later cor respondence was opened with a view of having the child sent on to the father, but the brother sent word to the father that he could not think of such a thing, and that the Idea of having so young a child travel so long a distance was absurd In the extreme. Finally, Wey ant came on, with his sister, Mrs. Lucy Armstrong, but was surprised to find that the brother refused to surrender the child. He then had recourse to the courts and the case came up before Supreme Court Justice Maddox, when the facts in the case were presented. Several physicians were called and gave It as their opinion that it was In expedient to have a child sent on so long a Journey. Other physicians tes tified that the child would not suffer from the trip. Justice Maddox began giving a decision in favor of the child's retention, when counsel for the father broke in and insisted on being heard. He cited numerous Instances where in valids had traveled long distances with perfect safety, notably that of Mrs. McKInley. Justice Maddox decided that the child should remain in the custody of the brother for a year, at the end of which time the father might renew his appli cation. A MONUMENT TO M'KEIGHAN.

Hudson Maxim Sella Secret of BU In vention to Uncle Sam. NEW YORK, June 4. The Press says: Max! mite, the new explosive in vented by Hudson Maxim, has been adonted bv this country after a series of successful tests at the Sandy Hook proving grounds. The secret of the explosive has been sold to the govern ment by the inventotr and the ex llosive, it is thought, may revolution ize warfare. It is said to be more deadly In its character than lyddite. yet so safely can it be handled that the danger attaching to Its use Is less than that incurred in transporting or dinary black powder. In an interview, Mr. Maxim said? "Should the United States become in volved in war with any other power we will be able to throw hign explosive projectiles through the thickest armor of our enemies to explode Inside their war ships, while they In turn would be able only to penetrate our armor with solid shot." He thought the moral of these new developments is that the ponderous battleships must go and be replaced by the small, swift torpedo boats or torpedo gunboats and cruiser. VON WALDERSEE QUITS PEKIN.
