ana confidence with which he is regarded by the present Pope His Holiness Piux X is a man of commanding genius He is more than a mere man of science he is a man of original and independent mind Untrammeied by the etiquette of the medical pro fession and having used Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale People in his prac tice with good results he freely avows the facts and endorses the value of

Gardner of Boston exhibited some beautiful asters at tho recent show of the Massachusetts Hor ticultural society One evening some one narrated to Mrs Gardner a humorous story of an exhibitor who had tried to bribe the judges of a flower show Into giving him all the first prizes She com mented on the story thus The man had probably heard ol the cadi of Bagdad This cadi had been in his youth a fisherman and to keep himselr in mind of his humble origin there was always spread upoD his dinner table a huge fishing net People admired the cadi for this exhibition of humility He was rich and his house was sumptuous But amid all that elegance the net the sign of the mans lowly birth was al ways prominently displayed The story of the net spread through the city and finally it reacli ed the ears of the caliph He in due time sent for the cadi took him into his favor and made him the grand vizier Thus said Haroun al Itaschid we reward humility From the day of the appointment tne grand vizier ceased to exhibit his fishing net It disappeared and it was never spoken of Once though a visiter a man of considerable impudence said to the vizier Why is it my lord that your net is no longer spread upon your table The vizier smiled and quietly re plied It has caught the fish A Setback Henry James after an absence of many years has returned to America Mr James has come to be regarded especially by the younger writers as the greatest American novelist Pil grimages are made to his beautiful English home in Rye and a word of praise from the master is esteemed of greater worth than a page of praise from an ordinary newspaper or re view A young American novelist took oc casion to visit Mr James during a European tour that he made in the summer This novelist is successful and prolific His books sell with as tonishing speed and with astonishing speed he produces them After giving a little perfunctory praise to Mr James own work the young man said What do you think of my work sir I think ycu write too much Mr James said candidly I think youll never reach posterity if you carry so much luggage Getting the Moneys Worth Mrs Lane was young and inexperi enced but certain principles of econ omy had been instilled into her from childhood She knew that since one could send ten words in a telegram for 25 cents and any smaller number cost the same amount it was an ob vious waste of money to send less than the ten She had also been taught by her eminently practical husband that in sending a telegram one should keep to the matter in hand and avoid all confusion of words On the occasion of Mr Lanes first absence from home he sent a telegram from Chicago say ing Are you all right Answer Blank Hotel Chicago Mrs Lane knew she must be wise economical and speed- for Mr Lane was mailing a flying trip and had told her he could not plan on his where abouts long enough ahead to have a letter sent She spent a few moments in agitated thought and then proudly wrote the following message Yes

KNOCK AT THE DOORS OF CANADA FOR WHEAT A Crop of 60000000 Bushels of Wheat Will Be the Record of 1904 The results of the threshing In Western Canada are not yet complet ed but from information at hand it is safe to say that the average per acre will be reasonably high and a fair estimate will place the total yield of wheat at GO000000 bushels At pres ent prices this will add to the wealth of the farmers nearly 60000000 Then think of the immense yield of oats and barley and the large herds of cattle for all of which good prices will be paid The following official telegram was sent by Honorable Clifford Sifton Min ister of the Interior to Lord Strath cona High Commissioner for Can ada Am now able to state definitely that under conditions of unusual diffi culty in Northwest a fair average crop of wheat of good quality has been reaped and is now secure from sub stantial damage The reports of in jury by frost and rust were grossly exaggerated The wheat of Manitoba and Northwest Territories will aggre gate from fifty live to sixty million bushels The quality is good and the price is ranging around one dollar per bushel Frank H Spearman in the Satur day Evening Post says When our first transcontinental railroad was built learned men at tempted by isotherman demonstration to prove that wheat could not profit ably be grown north of where the line was projected but the real granary cf the world lies up to 300 miles north ot the Canadian Pacific railroad and the day is not definitely distant Avhen the United States will knock at the doors of Canada for its bread Rail road men see such a day it may be hoped that statesmen also will see it and arrange their reciprocities while they may do so gracefully Americans already have swarmed into that far country and to a degree
