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.

SHOP-GIRL
? DvE&J
xsJ7nyr6f.
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.
Tho one self-centered, of most restrict
ed vision, captious, petty; tho other
self-effacing, far-seeing, charltnblo,
big. Caleb In search of a wife might
woll pursue his quest along tho aisles
of tho big Btores, find womanly ideal
Btandlng there 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

other girl that at this season goes
