THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS FOR
WESTERN CANADA.
"There will be thousands of Amer
icans coming up here in the spring,’
was the remark made by a farmer
from the vicinity of Lnngdon, North
Dnkota, when ho arrived in Winnipeg,
Manitoba, the capital of Western Can
ada, a few days since. He was the ad
vance guard of a large body who are
following him, and he has already in
vested in several farming sections for
hlmsrlf and others and purposes to
take up his permanent abode in this
eoun.ry. He went on to say: "Hun
dreds are coming from my district
alone. I know this to be a fact for
many of them are neighbors of mine.
The chief topic of conversation with
the farmers is the coming immigra
tion in the spring.
"The impression general in the part
of Dakota where 1 live that farmers
can get from 10 to 15 cents more a
bushel for wheat on tho American
side of the line than on the Canadian
has not prevented people frem turning
their eyes to Canada as a place to
live in. They know they can get land
in this country which is every bit as
fertile as that in Dakota at about one
quarter the price. It is safe to say that
the exodus from Dakota into Canada
this year will exceed the expectations
of all Canadians."

Germ^ruc Mvisevim
For Ha.rvard College
From the Germanic art museum to
be erected at Harvard college will
ultimately develop a museum scheme
that shall comprehend the three great
branches of Continental art. Ger
manic, Slavic and Romanesque. This
original Germanic art conception, as a
nucleus, has broadened to a far more
liberal and general plan.
The accompanying cuts show only
a portion of what Harvard hopes to
develop eventually from the Germanic
art beginning. At present the build
ing plans include erection only of the
structure shown in the first drawing.
The other portions to be added on as
opportunity shall permit, are to ac

HAD SEEN A BETTER MAN.
Barber Gives Good Reason for Chang
ing His Vote.
When a prominent Tammany man
returns from a trip to Europe he al
ways boasts of an interview with Rich
ard Croker, but no one has yet retailed
to take pride in observing ancient
traditions.
Apropos of this, however, only a
few days ago a vessel lay at her dock
in the Delaware River. Suddenly a
rat left the ship, followed by another
and another, until a whole colony had
evacuated. The crew noticed the
rodents' exit, and to a man followed
the rats. Nothing would induce the
seamen to return. The ship was
ready to sail. The skipper stormed.
Then it was that tnis eye fell upon
the form of a huge, gaunt black cat.
The rrts’ exit was explained. The
exasperated captain seized Tom by
the neck and hurled him at the sailors

commodate the other divisions ac- j
cording to the scheme to which the
original plan has now developed.
As a Germanic art museum the first
part to be built will be an entirely
new idea for this country, though Old
World museums devoted to distinctive
racial divisions. Appropriate to this
distinctive idea, the exterior archi
tecture of each racial division will be
characteristic of the art exhibit
within. So the Germanic structure, to
be built first, will have an outer ap
pearance indicating tnat Germanic art
is contained within.
The collection of Germanic art
treasures, which has been placed
temporarily in the Rogers building,
occupies nearly all the floor space.
When the galvano plastic casts, gifts
of Kmperor William, arrive, there will
not be space enough left to accommo
date them to advantage. The prob
lem of inadequate quarters is increas
ing, and it is hoped to begin work
soon on the new structure.
Architect G. Howard Walker says
of the intended structure;
"The museum which is proposed
has as ias initial scheme the possibil
ity of addition by successive courts
when needed. The first building erect
ed will, therefore, be one side of the
to the reporters a story that Mr.
Croker is very fond of telling.
According to this story, during a
particularly hot contest for a seat in
Parliament from a certain borough,
the strength of the Libera! candidate
was about equal to that of the Con
servative contestant. When election
day arrived, suffrage was exercised
early in most cases, and the place had
been pretty well polled by an hour
before closing time. Then the Liberal
candidate discovered that the town
barber had not voted. To the barber
shop the Liberal went and was shaved.
Polities was not mentioned until the
customer was paying the barber, when
the candidate said, as he handed out a
five-pound note:
“There is not much time left for
voting. Keep the change.”
“It’s a good man you are, the best
I’ve seen this day,” replied the barber.
“I’ll be over shortly.”
Hardly had the Liberal candidate
stepped out of the shop when the Con
servative stepped in. He was shaved
without reference to politics, and. In
paying, proffered a ten-pound note,
with the casual remark:
“The polls close scon. Never mind
the change.”
When the barber arrived at the town
hall, he had just time to'declare him
upon the wharf. Then the crew re
turned unhesitatingly. So did the
rats. Then, too, the lines were cast
off, the vessel backed out of the dock
and was soon speeding seaward.—

NOT ALWAYS PLAYING CARDS.
Brother of Congressman Gillett Had
Another Occupation.
Secretary of the Navy Moody, a
bachelor, occupies a house in K street
just around the corner from the Coch
ran, where “Uncle Joe” Cannon lives,
the latter being a widower. With Mr.
Moody resides Representative Freder
ick Gillett of Springfield, Mass., also
a bachelor. The three are on neigh
borly terms.
“Uncle Joe” looked out of the win
dow of his corner room in the hotel a
few evenings ago. when it was rainy
and dreary in Washington, to see if
there was a light in the window at
Secretary Moody’s. There was, and
he hied himself over, but found the
secretary and Mr. Gillett at dinner,

and another visitor from Boston. “Un

and passed his waiting time with soli

plans. This portion is to be devoted
to the Germanic Museum. As affili

museums of the Romance or of the
Slavic nations, may require space, the
courts will he completed side by side,
forming eventually a series of courts
some of which will be cloistered, and
all of whic i will be parked, and will
contain statues end other objects too
large for the interior of the museum.
As each wing is erected it is propos
ed to make slight changes in the de
tails of the windows, gables and en
trances, which will indicate to an ex
tent the change and variety of the
work contained in the rooms within,
for instance, the main facade and
center roof and dormers over the
large hall have the distinct German
detail of the Schloss at Heidelberg—
one of the gables, the round arched
windows of the Romanesque work, in
dicating the ciange to the Itotnance
Museum in this direction, another the
stepped gables of the Fleiscb hall at
Harlem, Indicating the Felmish court,
etc.
“The actual start in building will be
limited to a structure measuring 180
feet in front and sixty feet wide,
divided into a floor area of four
rooms, 70x30 feet, and a central hall
forty feet square. To this are to be
added the successive courts, till Har

It sounded like a comic opera Joke

recently, notwithstanding. The shoe
drummer was in a condition bordering
on a daze. He walked up to the hotel
desk, and asked, blinking the while:
“When does the midnight train leave

“At midnight!” smiled the clerk.
“What, time is that?” asked the
drummer, gazing at his watch.
"Twelve o’clock,” replied the dork.
“Oh,” stammered the drummer.
Turning, he was about to walk away,

that it might be veil to see about that

SYMPATHY OUT OF PLACE
The Only Way to Offer Help in Some
Instances Is to Buy a Pie.
"Out West, a few years ago, while
journeying around with a friend of
mine, I overheard a conversation
which goes to show that sympathy is
often misplaced,” said tae roving
man, "and the moral is i«lt by any
means a bad one. The quick way in
which the man turned on his friend,
who had offered him an abundance of
sympathy, so far as sympathy can be
extended by mere words, was very
amusing and showed that the fellow
was quick-witted and unusually bright,
despite the fact that he had fallen
into a rather rough road.
"The young man had been out West
for some time. He had gone out there
with the idea that he could win a for
tune, but instead of finding the way
to success a smooth one, it was rather
rough and rocky, marred by thorns
to prick the feet, pitfalls and all that
kind of thing. Put in plain, unpoetic
language he was run down at the heel
and bagging at the knee. In order
to make a living he had been forced
to become a pie merchant on a small
scale. He was in this business when
we found him, and had a small mov
able stand on the corner of two
streets in a well known mining town.
My friend recognized him at a glance,
and rushed up to greet him. The fel
low seemed to be just a little embar
rassed and my friend thought it would
be the proper thing to do to offer a
little sympathy.
“ ‘Sorry to see you situated as you
are, old fellow, and in this business,’
said my friend feelingly.
“ ‘D-your sympathy. Buy a pie,’
was the quick rejoinder of the vender,
and in a few moments we had left
him shrieking out his wares to men
who passed that way.
“At least he convinced my friend
that there are moments in a man’s
life when the mere sympathy of the
mouth, no matter how earnest or how
fervent the words, can not meet the
requirements of the case, and that the
real and only way to offer help in
such instances is to buy a pie.”
RULE WORKED BOTH WAYS.
And if Anything, the Darky Had the
Best of It.
At a country fair a free for all horse
show was organized. Among the ear
ly entries was a small beast, ridden
by a voluble individual, who pulled
from his pocket a long document and
commenced to entertain the crowd by
reading the pedigree of his steed. He
was the center of attraction until a
colored man rode in, mounted upon a
splendid black—large, glossy and
symmetrical.
Without waiting for an invitation
from the rider the crowd soon gath
ered about the beautiful horse and
many questions were asked, which tho
negro modestly answered. Soon the
white man and his diminutive quad
ruped were left practically by them
selves, and the rider found himself
smarting from woundetd pride. He
watched the new arrival for a short
time, and then rode over.
“Where is your horse’s pedigree?”
he roared.
“I dunuo, boss; I reckon he hain’t
got none. He's de3 plain hoss.”
“Oh, well, darn a horse without a
pedigree!” shouted the disgruntled
white man. and he swung the precious
record of his own animal over his
head, proclaiming what it was and
how long it was. Then he started to
ride away. The negro looked at tho
little beast over his shoulder, rolled
his eyes and retorted, "Yes, darn a
hoss without a pedigree, is it? Well,
darn a pedigree widout a hoss! Dat's
whut I says.”
Two Birds.
The birds there are that I do love—
The turkey and the eagle;
One walks tho earth, one soars above
The clouds, supreme and regal.
The turkey, too. can fly, but he
Aims not at elevation;
Some safe limb of an apple tree
Best suits his humble station.
By night, there, from his wily foe.
The fox, he's safe, and slumbers
All undisturbed by any woe
That mortal drenming cumbers;
By day. in orchard wandering.
He humbly seeks his living;
Unconscious of the joy he’ll bring
To gourmands on Thanksgiving.
And while the eagle, pinion borne,
Doth cleave the vaulted azure.
He gobbles up the golden corn
And gobbles forth his pleasure,
And, daily adding to ills girth,
For man his chief attraction.
So tills, this bird of solid worth,
Hts role with satisfaction.
Each in his sphere has rightful fame;
The eagle llrst in favor
As emblem of the nation’s aim.
The turkey for his flavor.
But while the eagle's chief renown
| Dies in his life, a winner,
The turkey’s still, when dead and brown.
Served for Thanksgiving dinner.

fornia lias some unusual ideas regard

refused to listen to the appeals of his
friends to go to California during the
recent senatorial fight there.

tors is concerned. Before the elec
tion of the legislature 1 made a cam
paign which extended the length and
breadth of my state. I told the people
that I was a candidate for re-election
and I made my promises to them.
They elected a Republican legislature,
and by so doing made that legislature
their jury. When opposition appeared
to my re-election my friends urged me
to leave Washington and personally
conduct my case before the legisla

of legislatures, so I remained in
