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.

0UT0F HOGS
On His Western Canadian Farm.
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
