DALE" HED AGEl^Ty "Jim,” said Mr. Perkins, to hia of fice boy, "put on gome more coal.” “Yes, sir.” "And do you hear? Take this pack et of papers around to Penn & Ink’s, and ask ’em what they mean by send ing me such a blotted piece of work." “Yes, sir,” said Jim, evidently pre ferring the snow-freighted air and slippery sidewalks of the outer world to the close little law office, darted off like an arrow out of a bow. Mr. Perkins took out a fresh bundle of quill pens and a quire of legal fools cap and began to work in good earn est. when, all of a sudden, a tap came to his office door. "Come in,” said Mr. Perkins, in a voice that sounded considerably more like “Clear out,” and a young lady entered, dressed in a currant-colored merino, with a little plumed hat and a neat looking fiat satchel on her arm. “I haven't anything to give,” said Mr. Perkins, sternly. The young lady sat down uninvited, and then Mr. Perkins saw that she was pretty. '1 was not begging, sir," she sain. ‘ May I ask, then, what was your business?'’ said Mr. Perkins, more, frigidly than ever. The young lady took a parcel from her bag. •'I don't want to buy anything,” said Mr. Perkins. "I aui not selling, sir,” said the lady. "Please explain your business at once,” he said, tartly. “I have no time to spare." ‘‘Please allow’ me to do so. then,” said the young lady, 'T was soliciting subscriptions for—” “I don’t want to subscribe,” hastily interrupted Mr. Perkins. "How do you know whether you do or not," inquired the young lady, with some spirit, "until you have seen the work, at least?" Mr. Perkins smiled a little. She was brusque, but he didn't altogether dis like that. And, besides, she was de cidedly original. "Because there have been at least three of your craft before you this morning," said he, "all selling ‘Illus trated Lives of Great Men.’ ” “But mine is quite different. Mine Is ‘Careers of Famous Women,’ with steel plate engravings,” persisted the young lady. “Your business is overcrowded,” said Mr. Perkins. "No, you needn't take the trouble to show me the book. Why don't you do something else?” "Will you tell me what?” said the young lady, despairingly. "Will you help me to get anything whereby I may support myself?" "Can you write a clear and legible hand?” Mr. Perkins asked. The young lady sat boldly down at a desk by the chimney-piece. "I’ll show you what I can do,” said she. Mr. Perkins looked over her shoul der as she wrote, In a quaint, distinct style, the words: • iuy name is Amy Archdale, and I want to earn my own living." Mr. Perkins looked meditatingly at her for a second or two. "I should think you might teach, ’ said he. "I did try it.” said Miss Arehdal*. "I was governess in a private family." "And why did you give it up ” "Is this a catechism?" said Miss Amy smiling. "Well, 1 hive no objec tion to answering. Do you want me to tell you the plain truth?” "Certainly.” "Well, then, It was because my lady employer did not like lo have her grownup son address me with tnmmon politeness, perhaps she thought 1 was nidtavorlng to fascinate him, but she was entirely mistaken.” "O!” said Mr. Perkins. "I" ease write down your address.” "Are you really going L> give me j some copy lag to do?” she asked tog- ! irly.

"Kate must work a penwiper for him, and you must embroider him a pair of slip pers. It won't do to let him lose sight of his nearest relatives.” "Ma,” said Miss Katherine, “it's a pity you discharged Miss Archdale so suddenly, because she was so handy at fancy work.” "And besides," added Edith Rosa bcdle, "it really and truly wasn't her fault because Walter chose to make eyes at her!” "Don’t use such vulgar expressions, my dear,” said the mamma. "She wag a pert, bold faced tiling, and would have eloped with your dear brother if sho had remained in the house an other week. And 1 told her so. pretty plainly, too. Who's ’.hat? The post man? Give the letter at once. Edith ltosahelle! ” "Somebody has sent us wedding cards,” said the youngest hopeful of the family of Molyneux Martin. "Open it, mamma, quick, and let us see whom they are from.” Mrs. Molyneux Martin tore open the envelope, and giving one glance at its contents, fell backward with a hys terical scream. "Elisha Perkins!” she shrieked. "Girls, It’s your uncle. Alas! my poor, disinherited pets!" Kor Mrs. Molyneux Martin had edu cated her daughters in the full belief that each and every one of them was to be an heiress in the right of Uncle Elisha Perkins' money. ‘‘But, mamma, who’s the bride? Whom lias he married? You don't tell Us the name,” persisted Katherine, who was endowed with a goodly spice of Mother Eve’s bequest. "i don't know! I don't care!” screamed Mrs. Moiyneux Martin, tap ping the soles of her slippered feet on the carpet in a way that threatened a yet more violent attack of hysterics. ’ Pick up the cards, Kathie, and look,” urged Edith llosabelle. “Amy Archdale!” she read aloud. "Why, ma. it's the governess you dis charged! It's our Miss Archdale!” “Tlw* old fool!” shrieked Mrs. Moiy neux Martin. "To go and marry a girl young enough to be his grand daughter! Well, that caps the cli max!’* "You forgot, Br.a,” said Edith Roaa belle, “Uncle Elisha’s only two years older than you are. I heard you say so lots of times.” "Hold your tongue, you ungrateful, undutiful daughter," ejaculated Mrs. Moiyneux Martin. ”I'll never speak to him again. But she did. Sober, second thoughts convinced her that it was better to submit to the inevitable—and she was one of the first to call on Mr. and Mrs. Elisha Perkins in the elegant brown stone house that the lawyer bought and furnished for his nride. And perhaps one of the most trium phant moments of Amy Archdale's life was that in which she extended a gra cious and patronizing greeting to the woman who had turned her out of doors scarcely three months before. "Things do balance themselves even ly in this world, if one only has the patience to wait!” she said to her hus band.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Ki hooN In Germany. The college man, says. Prof. Hugo Munsterberg, who specializes in politi cal economy or philosophy or chemis try from his freshman year, knows, in his special field, far more than any one ot us know; but if we take a compos ite picture of ail seniors the boy who leaver, the gymnasium is not at a dis- j advantage in the comparisons of intel- I lcitual physiognomy, while he is, of course, fur less mature, according to his much lower age. If any man in Dartmouth or Amherst takes his bach elor’s degree with that knowledge in mathematics, history, geography, lit erature, Gatin, Greek, French or phy sics which we had on leaviug school lie Is sure to graduate with honors. Our going to the university can thus he compared merely with the entrance into the post graduate courses. Our three highest gymnasium i lasses alone correspond to the college, and whoever compares the German university with the college instead of the graduate school Is either misled by the age of the student or by the external forms of student life and Instruction.—Atlantic M iigazine.

I THE REPORT OF A MAN OF EXPERIENCE. V7hat He Found in Western Canada to Induce Him to Settle There. Sault Sts. Marie. Mich.. Fib. 20th, 1000. To Whom It May Concern:—Especi ally to those who are desirous of ob taining health and wealth for them selves and families, 1 wish to state a few fads la regard to the Canadian North-west, where 1 went, leaving Sault Ste. Marie on May 2nd, 1899, for the purpose of seeking a better home for my family in the future. I got a special rate ticket for Ft. McLeod, Al berta. Through Manitoba and part of Aswlnlboia the farmers were busy em ployed ploughing ami seeding. I found the farmers very kind and friendly, willing to talk and assist in giving me the particulars of the coun try. At McLeod I spent a few days looking over some ranchers' slock, which I was surprised to tee looking eo well; they were in better condition than any stock I ever saw In Michigan, even those that had been stabled, aiul most of these hud never seen the In side of a shed or received any feed from the hands of man. But as 1 was also looking for mixed farm land I found McLeod no place for me, it is only lit for ranching purposes. Retracing my way back to Winni peg. 1 stopped off at Lethbridge, where 1 found Home of the greatest horse ranches 1 ever had the pleasure of looking at. It Is a fine level country, and lots of water and good grazing. At Medicine Hat, which is located in a valley, there were lots of ehet-p, cattle and horses in tire surrounding country cml all looking well. On July 14th I went to Regina, there I began to see mixed farming lands in abundance, and the crops looking re markably well, and jib long as daylight lasted I saw the same all nlong the line and on the 15th day of July i ar rived in Winnipeg, Just in time for (he exhibition. There 1 met with one | of the most beautiful pictures of the world's records, for as soon as I en tered the grounds my eyes met with all kinds of machinery, nil in motion, and the cattle, grain and produce of the country was far beyond my expec tation, in fact it was bpyond any in dustrial exhibition or agricultural fair I ever visited and 1 have seen a good many. From Regina to Prince Albert, a dis tance of 250 miles. It Is all good for mixed farming, and well settled, with some thriving little towns. In some places the grain, just coming Into head, would take a man to tho waist, and the wild fruit along the line was good, rich and in great quantities, from Saskatoon on the south branch of the Saskatchewan river, to Prince Al bert on the north branch of the same river, Is one of the best farming dis tricts without any doubt that ever laid face to the sun, and everything to be found there, that is necessary to make life comfortable, all that Is required is j labor. There Is lots of wood, good water, and abundant hay land, and the climate la excellent. Prince Albert Is a flourishing little place, situated cn the north Sas katchewan river, having a population of about 1,800, with good street and sidewalks and churches of nearly every denomination, three school houses, and another one to be built at once, alsa a brewery and a creamery. Here 1 stayed for about four months, working at my trade of bricklaying, and met with farmers and ranchers with whom 1 made It my special busi ness to talk in re gard to the prospects I also visited several farmers for some distanc e out In the country while crops were In full bloom, and I may say that 1 never saw better crops In all my travels than 1 saw along the valley to wards Stoney Creek and Carrot Htvcr. In the market garden there is grown currants, both red and black, and as fine a sample of roots and vegetables as ever went on a marke t. The soil In and around this district cannot ho beaten for anything you may wish to grow, and besides the season is long, giving time for everything to mature. The cattle were looking as good as I saw anywhere, good pasture anil bay land, and plenty of water wherever you go. The country Is dotted ail around like islands with timber flt for fuel and building purposes and within a day's walk of lumbering woods, where lumbering and tie making is carried on ip winter. Both large and small game is plentiful. There are two good saw mills In this district, with a good supply of all grades of lumber ail the year round and also two good brickyards with an excellent quality of brick. There is no scarcity of building material and at a reason able price. Clothing and living are no higher than 1 find in Michigan, and furthermore I wish to ray that there Is a great demand for laboring men nil the year round and good wages rang ing from $1.75 to $2.00 per day, and from $25.00 to $25.00 per month with board. I wish to say that I am perfectly sat isfied with the country and I intend to return to Prince Albert early In ihe spring of 1900. Any reasonable man can go there and in from five to ten years make a good and comfortable home for himself and family, and if any person into whose hand this letter should fall, desires more Information, please write to me and I will freely give them my best opinion. I am writ ing this fur the benefit of those who may want to make a better home for themselves and families or friends. Trusting that this statement may be useful to you in the publication of your next pamphlet and be the means of guiding at least some of those who are in search of a home, I remain Your humble servant, (Signed) WILLIAM PAYNE.
