s writer, who made the trip when the

"Just now, the whole country is ft

mirrored lakes, artistic flower fields,

to behold, and ail placed there without
tho aid of man. The land in general

with vetches and pea vines, nearly ut>

comparatively email acreage under cul
tivation reminds one of a few small
garden patches.
"When we consider the estimated
crop of 30o.000.000 bushels of wheat
for IS 12. to be produced on these west
ern prairies from these garden patches,
some faint iuea can be formed by an
Imaginative mind as to the immense
possibilities and rich heritage of a glo
rious western Canada.”
The estimate of the wheat crop, as
made by the writer quoted, is exces

there will be a grer.t deal of satisfac

HOLD BIG FESTIVAL IN PERU
Holy Week I* Celebrated by Religious
Procession—Beautiful Floats in
Parade.
Lima, Peru.—Semana Santa, or Holy
Week, Is a week of preparation. Booths
dedicated to different saints are erect
ed and archeB built at intervals from
the church to the foot of the Calle de
las Palmas, or Street of Psalms. On
Saturday the arches are decorated
with fruit, vegetables, live fowls, kids,
etc., and everything is got in readiness
for the great day, Palm Sunday.
Early Sunday morning the few re
maining things are added to the arch
es and the procession leaves the
church, taking its way to the booth af
the foot of the street, where they re
main for the faithful to make their of
ferings until between live and six at
night, when the procession again forms
at this booth and is accompanied by
soldiers, the band and a crowd of
people.
Af'er they form there is a song by

played during this time was dirges.
On Friday night was the groat event
of the week, the great procession, be
ginning at ten o’clock and headed by
three men, one of them carrying the
crown of thorns; the second, the nails
which nailed the Lord to the cross;
:he third, the cock that crew. This
'•'■is followed by a float beautifully
trimmed and lighted containing the
image of our Lord so painted that
blood appeared to be on the forehead
and face. Very realistic it looked in
the semi-darkness.
■Next was a float containing the Vir
gin Mary beautifully dressed in pur
ple velvet trimmed with priceless lace
and jewels, her long train held up by
angr-ls. As the streets were dark only
for the lights on the floats and torches
carried by the crowd, who were all
dressed in black, and the procession
moved so slowly, appearing to mark
time and swaying from side to side,
they were more than two hours going
around two hlooks.
On reaching the church the floats
were put within to remain till the res
nrrection at 0:30 o’clock Saturday
morning. No train whistled, no bells
rang, no teams were in the Ftreets
from Thursday noon. Even the ebil
dren were told not to talk, for "the
Seuor ( Lord) is dead;" till 0:30 o'clock
Saturday, when the image is restored
to its niche in the church and the
Lord is risen.—Christian Herald.

Produce Guinea Pigs With

Philadelphia, Pa.—Following lip tte

It was found a solution of water. St

Several female guinea . pigs were

and three of the animals gave birth to
guinea pigs, but they were consider
ably smaller than those born in the
natural way. Two of these artificially

“BIG ED” WALSH’S SPITTER RANKS AS BEST
Marty O’Toole, $25,000 Pittsburg Beauty.
"Marty O'Toole." says Hank O'Day,
manager of the Cincinnati Reds, "has
a spit ball that breaks something like
Walsh's, but he has nowhere near as
much speed nor anything like as good
control, and yet he is getting more
strikeouts—getting them against good
batters, too. Rather hard to figure,
but he's getting away with it in clever
stjle."
Notwithstanding the Reds can't un
derstand how O'Toole gets away with
it, it is probable that he will be a suc
cessful pitcher unless something hap
pens to his arm.
There is no greater pitcher than Ed
Walsh of the Chicago Americans, and
in intelligence Rig Ed also ranks high.
"Big Ed" Walsh.,
He says tbe spitbali is and will con
tinue to be tbe most effective ball a
pitcher can throw.
One can understand how O'Toole
could fan Bescher ta star hitter on
the Cincinnati team), three times
straight, and also make every other
man on the team miss them after
reading what Walsh says he can do j
to such hitters as Cobb, Crawford and ;
Jackson, the stars of the American ,
league. The White Sox twirler says:
'When I've got my spitter breaking
right I can beat any ball club in the
world. No use trying to bat against
it. it's simply unhittable. Barry Ba
Joie. Ty Cobb and other hitting stars
of the American league will tell you
the same story. Ask Bajoie about the
time I fanned him in Cleveland with
the American league championship at
stake.
"The spitter is a terror when it
works right. One day I had Detroit
in the nine-hole, and you know the
Tigers are some hitters. I think Cobb
and Crawford are two of the greatest
strikers the game ever produced. The
spitter had them all standing on their
heads. Neither Ty nor Sam could get !
!t out of the infield. I held them hit- ■
ess for eight rounds and had two
gents gone in the ninth when mv
catcher muffed a foul tip. If he had
only held the leather it would have
meant another out and given me a no
hit game against the Tigers. The muff
gave the batsman one more chance.
He dumped a roller to Tannehill. who
had a hard play to make and missed
his man. The scorer called it a hit.
' Elmer Stricklett invented the spit
ball in 1904. I swiped the idea from
Elmer and have been perfecting it
ever since. Now I think I’ve got the
spitball down finer than any other
man in the game.”

NOTHING TAKEN FOR GRANTED
New York Giants Cannot Be Depend
ed Upon to Win Pennant—Case
of Detroit Tigers.
Nothing in baseball can be taken
for granted. Not even the Giants—
though they appear just at present to
be the real class of their league, su
perior in ability and condition, forti
fied as no other team has ever been
before with substitutes as good as
their regulars, a perfect baseball ma
chine. every department intact and
with a manager second to none in
knowledge of the up-to-date game and
ability to handle men—can be put
down with absolute surety to be the
ones to go under the wire in the
lead.
The case of the Detroit Tigers last
season affords a convincing illustra
tion of how suddenly the bottom drops
out of a fabric woven with baseball
threads. It may look strong and sup
ple enough to stand any kind of a
strain, but the old baseball thread was
never known to be reliable enough to
bank on to the very limit of endur- !
ance. and the Tiger fabric was inter
woven with the same old threads of
uncertainty, and collapsed.
The Giants' fabric seems right now
to be much stronger than was the
Tigers' of last season, but—
All of the present Giant players,
with ihe exception of llathewson.
Wiltse and Ames, got the first whiff in
their nostrils of the delightful aroma
that is thrown off by the "long green"
that gees to the men who participate
in world's series games. That fra
grance still lingers with them and
has made them rabidly hungry for
another smell of the financial joy fluid
that will go with the world's series
this fall.
They are more than anxious to be
come saturated again with the addi
tional fragrance of glory and honors
and money that is only to be obtained
by the plucking of the rose that is
emblematic of th baseball champion
ship of the universe. This is their
one ambition now and they are after
it hotfoot and with confidence.
Then, again, a trip around the
world after the season is finished is
another probable reward that will ac
.crue to the winners of the National
league pennant, and that is another
big inducement for them to put forth
their best efforts from start to finish
of this race.
Arrangements for such a trip have
gone so far and have been so well
perfected that it is virtually assured.
| Even the money for it has been guar
i anteed—furnished, in fact.
PLAYERS RECALL OLD TIMES

Frank Smith and Harry Gaspar
pitched a game against each other
at Montreal the other day. There
was nothing the matter with the
pitching—both were in good form and
showed all sorts of class—but the
game was prolonged way into dark
ness because Harry and Frank want
ed to exchange so many reminiscences
of Cincinnati days. Once, when
Smithy was at bat. Harry came in

for 17 minutes abort the good times
they had with the Reds. Then they

watch and give them 'one minute to
go on with the game. Even then he
couldn't stop them, and was up a
tree, for the simple reason that, as
they were on different clubs, one
with Montreal and the other with To
ronto, he couldn't decide which one
to penalize and which one to forfeit
the game to. ,
Injury to Harry Wolter.
Harry Wolter. the Highlanders' star
outfielder, is still on crutches and
will not play again this year. His
leg is broken just below the knee,
while the ligaments of the ankle are
badly torn. Wolter will draw full pay
and the club will settle the doctor's
bills. He hobbles to American League
park every day to seethe game from
the center field seats. Wolter's ab
sence from the team practically all
season has been a tremendous handi
cap, and Manager Wolverton says it
will be impossible to find his equal.

FACE A SIGHT WITH TETTER
Moberly, Mo.—"My trouble began
with a small pimple on the left side of
my face and it spread all over my
face and to my neck. It would be scar
let red when I got warm. My face
was a sight. It looked very unpleas
ant, and it felt uncomfortable. My
face was something awful; it just kept
me in agony all the time. Some said
it was tetter, and some said it was
that awful eczema, but I rather think
it was tetter. I had been troubled
with it for about two years and tried
many remedies, but got no relief until
I used Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
"When I would wash my face with
the Cuticura Soap and apply the Cuti
cura Ointment it would cool my skin
and draw great big drops of matter
out of the skin. You would think I
was sweating; it would run down my
face just as though I had washed it.
It itched and smarted and I suffered
in the day time most. I used the Cuti
cura Soap and .Cuticura Ointment for
a month and I was cured of it.” (Sign
