4 s.. N. m r mr Bt m r THRESHING RETURNS FROM WESTERN CANADA. They Reveal Larger Averages of Wheat and Oats Than An ticipated. Tlio returns from the grain fields tit Western Canndti ns rcvenlctt by tho work of tho Threshers, show much larger yields than wero oxpoctod a3 tho crop was ripening, it Is a llttlo early yet to glvo an estlmato of tho crop as a wholo, but Individual yields selected from various points through out Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al bcrta show that tho farmers there as a rulo havo had reason to bo thankful over tho rosults. Excellent yields tin reported from many portions of Mani toba and n largo district of Saskatch ewan has turned out well, wbllo the central portion of Alberta Is Bplendld. Thoro will bo shown nt tho land ex position at St. Louis a samplo of tho Marque's wheat a new variety and ono that appears to be woll adapted to tho soil and cllmato of Western Canada that yielded G3 bushelB to tho cro. Tho exhibit nnd statoment will bo supported by affidavits from tho growers. This whoat wolghs woll, and being a hard variety will And a ready market nt tho highest prices ob tainable for a first-class nrtlcle. It is Interesting to point out that a field of ono hundred acres of this wheat would glvo Its producers 5,300 bush els. Sold at 8C cento a bushel would glvo him $.5 an aero. Counting all tho cost of lntorcst on land at $20 an ncro, getting tho land roady for crop. Seed Bowing, harvesting and marknt. lng, tho entlro cost of production would not exceed ?S an acre, leaving tho handsomo not profit of $37 nn acre. Is thoro any crop that would Vlold a better return than this, with fcho samo labor and initial expenso? Cotton fields will not do it, npplo or chards with their great expenso of cul tivation and tho risk to run from tho various enemies of tho fruit cannot begin to do It. Whilo what 1b consid ered an exceptional caso Just now is presented, there is no doubt that this mnn's exporienco mny 6o duplicated by others who caro to follow bis ex gtnplo. As has been said tho growing Df this wheat is but In its infancy, and wheat growing is still largely con fined to other older varieties that do not yield as abundantly. Even with theso wo havo records beforo us of farmers who havo grown 40 bushels to tho aero., others 35, somo 30, nnd others again 25 bushels. Taking oven 20 bushels, and somo farmers rcrort that amount, It is found that tho re turns from such a yield would bo $17 on ncro. This wheat will cost to get to market. Including all expenses, about $8 an acre, nnd tho farmers will still havo a net profit of nbout 9 an acre. Certainly tho provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Mani toba are progressing, settlement Is In creasing nnd thoro is a general con tentment nil over tho country. Tho eoclal conditions aro splendid, the cll mato Is excellent, and thoro is every condition to mnko tho Bottler satisfied. At tho fanning congress, held at Spo knno In October, wheat shown by tho Alberta Govornment,took tho silver cup, awarded by tho Governor of tho Stato. It completely outclassed nil other specimens on exhibition, nnd it was but nn ordinary selection, hundreds of fields In Albcrtn and Sns- I katchewan being ablo to duplicate it. There aro still avallablo thousands of homesteads, as well ns largo areas of first-class Innd that Is being offorod for salo nt low prices. Tho agent of tho Canadian Government from whom tho nbove facts hnvo been learned ex pects that tho ruch to Canada will next year largely exceed tho numbers who havo gono this year. What World Lost? "It was tho worst calamity that ever happened to me," sighed tho palo, in tellectual hlgh-browed young woman. "I hud written a modern society nov el, conipleto to tho Inst chnptor, nnd n careless servant girl gathered tho sheets of tho manuscript from tho floor, wherp tho wind had blown them, nnd UEed them to start u flro In tho grnte." "What a burning shamo that was!" commented MIsr Tnrtan. His Means. "You aro charged with vagrancy, prlsonor at tho bar." "What's dat, Judge?" "Vagrancy? Why, you have no visi ble moans of support." "Huh! Ilcah's mah wife, Judge; Mary, is you visible" Thcro Is no playing fast and looso with truth, In any game, without trowing tho worso for It. Dickens. EODAKSESlCHRISTIUS GIFTS ft oo to 8:00.00.

N nn excellent short Iatory published not long ngo, O. Henry gavo to his shop-girl ncromo a colossal ennr actcr, emphnstzed that In hor woro combined the notnblo attributes of Hcrculos, .loan ot Arc, Una, Job nnd Llt tlo Red Riding Hood. And at this season ot tho yonr "glnd Christ- mas days" It easily might seem to a Icbb nympntb ctlc person than tho regretted O. Honry that the Bhop-glrl moBt stands In need of tho strength of Hercules, tho heroism of Joan of Arc, tho truthfulness nnd oth er singular excellencies of Una, tho patience of Job. Think what It must mean, from eight to six, or eight to ten, as tho caso may bo, to face nnd Eorvo tho rattled throngs that aro now surging through tho nhops, think of tho strain on endurance nnd nerve, on tempor nnd mnnnors. The wonder Is not thnt sho often comes up to the de mands on her, but that sho over doos. Somo of tho veterans, survivors of many hard-fought Christmas oattlo fields, aro ninrvols; may bo seen at fag-end of dny still alort, though droop ingly so; otlll clear-headed, though with conscious effort; still with cour teous attltudo In their serving, though thoso thoy servo havo lost tho last shred of any politeness with which they may hnvo started out. Comparo tho manners of somo spoiled darling, somo Indulged, arro gant child ot wealth, with tho dignity and patlenco nnd sweetness often Hhown by tho girl behind tho counter.

Thoy nro not all caricatures of fash Ion, with hair tortured Into lntest ex aggeration, frocks chonp copies ot showy splendors; not all moro given to powder and rougo than to soap and water. And In tho attainment of the so hlghly-dcslrnblo neatness and trim neBs heroism again has to como to the fore, It Is no eaBy matter after long hours of labor to labor more, take pains for personal clennllncss, sew and darn when eyes aro hoavy, back Is aching. Heroines every ono of them that mnko a good show. I know a girl In a fashionable candy shop that every other night wnshoB and Irons that sho may bo presentablo tho next day. Her modern! o wago Is the chief part of tho family support, thcro Is not enough money for enough blouses to Inst tho week, nnd so tho midnight lnundrylng Is done as a mat ter of course. But how pretty and sweet nnd fresh tho girl does rannngo to look in her snowy whlto and well brushed black; much better dressed, sho seems to mo, than tho woman of fUBS and featherB. Whnt llttlo mothers they nre. a lot of them, simple affectionate, domestic creatures though so often character ized as vain, shallow, foolishly am bitious, thinking only of dress nnd "dates." I know one girl that worked In one of tho department stores which keep opon evenings nt Christmas timo, who the night before ChrlstmnB did not leave tho storo until midnight, then after traveling an hour on tho street cars to her homo stayed up hours to trim a wonderful Christmas treo for tho children of tho family, tho bunch of llttlo ones tho poor seem nl ways to havo with thom. I know on other girl that at this season goes down unusually early mornlngB to nr rango "stock," comes homo unusually Into evenings; but after dinner cheer fully dons kitchen apron and helps with giant plum pudding nnd other Christmas preparation that yonrly Is ropented In honor of old England nnd tho homo loft behind when thero was mado soarch for fortuno In tho rich land of America. Thoso aro Just two Instances, tho ono nulto commonplnco. unherolc, but you mny pick up a fow for yourself by eavesdropping a bit In your shopping; observing among tho buyers tho many shopgirls purchasing toyB and Bllver "pusher," children's THE IDEAL WORKSHOP.
