He was fighting in a trench with six other men, and was just ready to hurl a trench-bomb which lie had fixed so as to he ready for explosion when a bullet from the Turks hit his hand, causing the bomb to explode. He lost both his hands and his left eye, and his clothes were stripped from his body by the explo sion. He had the presence of mind to betid over and stop tbe concussion of the shell, thus preventing his com rades from being mortally wounded. He is thirty years old an# left fqr Eng ltuid in 1915. He was in a hospital 11 months recovering from his wounds. Alexander has been decorated with a medal of honor by King George and also been recommended for the Vic torian cross.

Both#Wrote “Pied Piper." Robert Browning, father of the poet, was a man of many parts, from whom his fatuous son would seem to have inherited not a few of his character istics. says the London Chronicle. A clever artist, with a turn for the gro tesque, and a versifier with a taste for eccentric rhymes, he might but for his brilliant son, be remembered today as the author of the “Pied Piper of HameTtn,” for It was he who told Rob ert that story, and some years before the poet produced his version, turned it into lively verse for the entertain ment of a sick child—little Willie Mncrendy, son of ihe famous actor. The poet does not seem to have known of his father's version until after he had produced his own. Foolishness of Worry. Of all the physical Ills which we needlessly and unconsciously bring tip on ourselves the most are doubtless caused by worry. Hurrying through our dally tasks and pleasures at breathless speed Is bad enough, but to worry about future Ills is far worse. It Is well enough to look into the future and provide to our best ability against misfortunes, but when this foresight amounts to seeing only the phantoms In our path, it is nothing short of slow suicide.

It is getting to be a long drawn out story, the way that Western Canadian farmers have made money. Many of them a few years ago, came to the country with little more than their few household effects, probably a team of horses and a cow or two, and suffi cient money to do them for a few months, until they got a start. Hun dreds of such can be pointed out, who today have splendid homes, well equipped farms, the latest machinery and an automobile. Here is the case of A. E. Merriam, formerly of Devil's Lake, X. D. He didn't leave there be cause the land was poor, or farming not a success, for all who know that country are aware that it is an excel lent country. He' wanted to expand, to take advantage of the cheap land that Western Canada offers. And that same story ha* appealed to hundreds of others who have had like success with Mr. Merriam. But his story, and he signs it, too, is: “I came to Alberta in the Spring ot 1909 from Devil's Lake, North Dakota locating on my farm near Dalroy. “I arrived with six head of horses and two head of cattle and about $1,500. Since then, I have increased my live stock to seven head of horses, four head of cattle, and about one hun dred head of hogs, a four-roomed house, good barn with all modern im provements. a feed grinder, elevator, chopper, fanning mill. etc. I have in creased my original capital at least four times more since coming here. “From the feeding of hogs during the last year, I had a gross return of $5,000. “I first started grain farming, but during the past four years I have made hogs my specialty, and you may see by the foregoing statement for 191*5 that I have not done so badly. “Land has increased at least twenty per cent in value during the past few years, now selling for from $25 to $35 per acre, with nominal taxes of about $27 a quarter section yearly. “The climate here is better than Da kota in that we do not have so much dry wind; the winters are similar to Dakota. “As for farming in general, the grow ing and feeding of live stock is more sure than the grain farming,' if con tinued year after year, and if every farmer follows this he will be ahead of the grain growers in the long run. Taking everything into consideration, I feel satisfied with my success iu Alberta.” (Sgd.) A. E. MERRIAM. Dalroy, Alberta. Jan. 12th, 1917. There will be the greatest demand for farm labor in Western Cnnada dur ing the early spring, and. In fact, all season until November, and the high est wages will be paid.
