NEW RAILWAYS i CENTRAL CANADA AMCHICAN SETTLERS WELCOME AND DOING WELL. The Portland Oregonian, of Port land, Oregon, published a cartoon on the immigration of U. S. people to Canada, in its issue of October 5, 1909. The picture was accompanied by the following article: "Losing American Citizens. The ex odus of American farmers to Canada continues to be a phenomenon of the first importance. More of them are crossing the border this fall than ever before, and they are flocking from all parts of the country. Former ly it was the Middle West alone which thus lost the heart of its citizenship. Now all sections of the Union suffer alike. The regret which we cannot help feeling over the migration of many thousands of excellent citizens has an economic side which causes some concern. The 70.000 farmers who will go to Canada to live this fall will take with them some $70,000,000 in cash and effects. This is by no means a negligible sum, and makes a very appreciable drain on our re sources. But, of course, the most se rious loss is the men themselves and their families, who have forsaken the iand of the free and the home of the brave to dwell under the rule of a monarch. Why do they go? Naturally the -cheap and fertile land of Western Can ada attracts them. Each emigrant goes with a reasonable expectation of bettering his fortune. Indeed, in a few years he may grow rich through spectacle!—Frank Crane, in the At lantic. His Professional Way. The new waitress sidled up to a dapper young man at the breakfast table, who, after glancing at the bill, opened his mouth, and a noise Issued forth that sounded like the ripping off of ail the cogs on one of the wheels in the power house. The new waitress made her escape to the kitch en. “Fellow out there insulted me,” she said. The head waiter looked at him. ‘Til get It," he said. “That’s Just the train caller ordering his breakfast.” The Ascent of Art. “Yes, he has had quite a varied ex perience. He began his artistic career by painting a sign for a livery stable.” “Indeed!” “Then he climbed steadily. Have yon seen his latest and best work?" “No. What is it?” “It's a calendar for a bock beer brewer.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer. •i. 1" “ 1 troduce you to,” I replied, and turned away into the broadest part of the lake. The launch was capable of a lively clip and the engine worked cap itally. I had no fear of being caught, even if we should be pursued, and this, in the broad light of the peaceful Sabbath afternoon, seemed the re motest possibility. It had been understood that we were to remain out until the sun dropped Into the western wood, and I loitered on toward the upper lake where the shores were rougher. “That's a real island over there— they call it Battle Orchard—you must have a glimpse of It.” “Oh, nothing Is so delightful as an island!” exclaimed Helen. Ijima had scanned the lake con stantly since we started, as was his habit. Miss Pat turned to speak to Helen of the shore that now swept away from us in broader curves as we passed out of the connecting channel into the farther lake. Ijima remarked to me quietly, as though speaking of the engine: “There's a man following in a row boat.” And as I replied to some remark by Miss Pat, I saw, half a mile distant, its sails hanging idly, a sloop that an swered Gillespie's description of the Stiletto. Its snowy canvas shone white against the green verdure of Battle Orchard. “Shut off the power a moment. We will turn here, Ijima”—and I called Miss Pat's attention to a hoary old sycamore cm the western shore. “Oh, I’m disappointed not to cruise nearer the island with the romantic name," cried Helen. ‘‘And there's a yacht over there, too!” I already had the boat swung round, and in reversing the course I lost the Stiletto, which clung to the island shore; but I saw now quite plainly the rowboat Ijima had reported as follow ing us. It hung off about a quarter of a mile and its single occupant had ceased rowing and shipped his oars as though waiting. He was between us and the strait that connected the upper and lower lakes. Though not alarmed I was irritated by my care lessness in venturing through tha strait and anxious to return to the less wild part of the lake. I did not dare look over my shoulder, but kept talk ing to my passengers, while Ijima, with the rare intuition of his race, un derstood the situation and indicated 6y gestures the course. “There’s a boat sailing through the green, green wood,” exclaimed Helen; and true enough, as we crept in close to the shore, we could still see, across a wooded point of the island, the sails of the Sti'etto, as of a boat of dreams, drifting through the trees. And as I looked I saw something more. A tiny signal flag was run quickly to the top mast head. Withdrawn once and flashed hack; and as 1 fa»sd the bow again the boatman dropped his oars into the water. "Whn* a strange-iooking man,” re marked Miss Pat. “He doesn’t look like a native,” I re plied, carelessly. The launch swung slowly around, cutting a half-circle, of which the Ital ian’s boat was the center. He dallied idly with his oars and seemed to pay no heed to us, though he glanced sev eral times toward the yacht, which had now crept into full view, and un der a freshening breeze was bearing southward. “Full speed, Ijima.” The engine responded instantly, and we cut through the water smartly. There was a sface of about 25 yards between the boatman and the nearer shore. I did not believe that he would do more than try to annoy us by for cing us on the swampy shore; for it was still broad daylight, and we were likely at any moment to meet other craft. I was confident that with any sort of luck I could slip past him and gain the strait, or dodge and run round him before he could change the course of his heavy skiff. 1 kicked the end of an oar which the launch carried for emergencies and Ijima. on this hint, drew it toward him. “You can see some of the roofs of Port Annandale across the neck here,” I remarked, seeing that the women had begun to watch the approaching boat uneasily.

CALLS FLIRTING A PERIL Chicago Pastor Sees Homes Wrecked and Divorce Decrees in “a Menacing Evil.” Chicago.—“It is a long distance from a flirtation on the corner of State and Adams streets to what has 'iecome infamous at Newport and on the Riviera, but He who looks down from heaven has given but one name to the whole road, and that name is destruction. When flirtation becomes less common, popular and fashion able, the number of divorces and blasted homes will diminish." That was Rev. Frederick E. Hop kins’ introduction to his sermon in the Pilgrim Congregational church which, in part, was as follow's: "Flirtation is the cause of our so cial evil. It undermines the home. It makes marriage look like a failure. The rapidly increasing number of women who drink and smoke in fash ionable restaurants shows where sta tions on the route are located and the' Rev. Frederick E.

"In respect of this evil, as of all others, we need *o remember that first steps are the dangerous steps, first compromises the dangerous com promises. We are often asked: ‘Can I dance, can I play cards, can I go to the theater, can I take a glass of wine?’ And our answer is, not j a dogmatic and positive no, but the question. ‘What is safe for you?’ "When men and women are loiter-; ing about through life wondering what they will do next, a serpent not far i away is apt to lift its head and sight : the bird. From the Garden of Eden ' to the present hour snakes have loved Eve in a snake’s way. Samson has lied and joked with Delilah, Sapho has loved the young student, as the devil loves the world. “It is a love with the most beauti ful face you ever saw. It is love with the most attractive personality you have ever known. It is a love with what is called temperament, you know—makes a lie sound better than the truth. It can make the red-bead ed, black-faced Cleopatra look so fas cinating that the great Marc Antony is content to be dragged behind her barge like a dead fish. “The love of the flirt is a love that makes men and women forget >;heir honor, their vows, their ambitions, their talents, their fathers and moth ers, husbands and wives, and all the great hopes of time and eternity. The first steps may lead down the marble steps of a palace of pleasure. But look at the end!’’ ELEPHANT MADE OF WALNUTS California Offers Unique Menagerie in Exhibit of Products at the Seattle Fair.

Victorien Sardou was from 1854 un til the time of his death a resident of Marly-le-Rol, and that village has now honored the dramatist with a bust. Sardou always interested himself in the affairs of the little community of which he was the most distinguished citizen, and even served in 1S70 as its mayor. The dedication of the bust brought together a distinguished gath ering: from Paris came members of the playwright’s family, MM. Hervieu. Rlchepin, de Croisset, Bernstein and the widow of Dumas, fils.
