Alkert Netooo left Benton Con Ore
flQB, I&, Sept, 1904, for the great
Cuadian prairies. To quote from his
letter: "I was greatly surprised to
fnd SBch an immense stretch of rich
virgin prairie still almost unoccupied
ia the. very .heart of. North .America.
The splendid crops of .oats, wheat, bar
ley, potatoes and hay I beheld in the
settlements made me very eager for a
piece of this rich soil, and J soon lo
cated in the Goose Lake country. We
have here a, great 'stretch of the rich,
deep clay loam of the Saskatchewan
a soil heavy and hard to break, bat
particularly well adapted for the re
tention of moisture and production .of
the bright No. 1 'Hard wheat, and
great crops of oats, barlqy, flax and po
tatoes. I -had 60 'bushels of oats,
weighing 441 lb. to the bushel, per
acre. Some of my neighbors had still
greater yields. Wheat yielded from20
to 30 bushels per acre!.' We' have all
dose well .here, and. I could, name
many Americana who came here with
means to o ahead, who have done
nig already. For homesteads one has
to go fur! her west, but the best prai
rie cam be bought here for from $12.00
to $16.00 per acre. The climate .is
dry and healthy. This is the regular
Saskatchewan fall weather frosty
nights, and bright; sunny days ideal
for threshing and hauling out of
wheat The trails are dusty, as thou
sands of wheat teams are moving
towards the elevators.
"The sight of it makes one stop and
wonder what it will be in a few years
when the immense prairies get under
cultivation. Heavy snowfall is the
exception here. Snow generally falls
in December and goes off in March.
Ifsometimes gets very cold, but the
Saskatchewan fanner does not fear
the cold. Winter Is his season of
rest. The first or second crop he
builds a comfortable house for him
self, and warm stables for his horses.
He need not, like some, be poking
about in the mud all winter attending
a few beasts, for a livelihood."

During the trial of a man who had
made an unsuccessful attempt at sui

evidently intended to pursue the same

Irishman who next took the stand.
"You say you talked with the ac
cused an hour after his attempt?" the
lawyer demanded.
"Oi did," was the direct reply.
"And did he give any reason for at
tempting to commit suicide?"
"He did, an' it was a good reason."'
"Well, and what reason did he
give?"
"Sure, an he said he wanted to kill
himself," Pat answered, and for a mo

Harry Lauder's First Job
The Comedian Failed as Berry Picker
Because He Couldn't "Whussle."
I would he about ten or eleven years
of age when J got my first "job." It
was to pick strawberries for a market
gardener whose ground was not far
away from our house. One of the con
ditions laid down was that the boys
employed in the strawberry beds
should "whussle" all the time they
were at work obviously a contemp
tible dodge for getting behind the Bib
lical instruction which forbids the muz
zling of the ox that treadeth out the
corn.
"Can ye w'hussle, Harry?" said the
gardener to me when I asked for a
job.
"No, sir, I canna whussle I never
learned," was my reply; and it was
truthful more or less.
"Are ye an honest hoy?" was his
next question.
"Yes, sir. very honest," says I.
Now, the gardener had no earthly
right to engage a boy to pick straw
berries who couldn't-.whistle, and, the
natural result was that before the day
was far spent I collapsed too few
strawberries in Harry's basket and too
many elsewhere. I was ill for three
days, at the end of which time L went
boldly up to the gardener and demand
ed my pay for the day i had been in
his employment.
"Wages for stealin my berries!" ex
claimed the man, in a towering pas
sion. "I'll give ye the police oflicer, ye
young rascal."
I meekly suggested that I hadn't
"Sitting down on one side of this
seat, she edged along a little further
on that side, thus making her next

a little, and thus providing half the

talking to sit down beside her, which
he did, all this leaving me to stand
there, completely ignored, in front of
them. '
"Sitting down as she did she dis

and preparing to clear the table.

That night in the stygian blackness
of the midnight that enshrouded him
Jinx felt the springs shake, and he
had a feeling that amounted to almost,
a certainty that Mrs. Jinx was cau
tiously getting out of bed. Then the
whisper-like sound of bare feet cau
tiously carrying their owner across
the room, and, after that, a prolonged
though almost suppressed rustling of
garments, followed by a noise like that
made by a bare shin striking a chair,
followed by a sibilant exclamation,
then a noise like some person groping
ly leaving the room. A few moments
later Jinx was peering through a crack
in the kitchen door watching his wife
angrily examining a pair of pearl gray
pants.
"Did you sleep well?" asked Jinx
at breakfast.
"Yes!" snapped Mrs. Jinx.
"Did you notice, dear, that these
new pants arc made like those of Gov.
Patterson's of Tennessee, without
pockets?"
"No, I didn't notice it, but I want
you to give me some change before
you go to town!"

Feeling and Character.
Spiritual strength consists of two
things power of will and power of
self-restraint. It requires two things,
therefore, for its existence strong
feelings and a strong command over
them.
Now it is here that we make a great
mistake: we mistake strong feelings
for strong character. A man who
hears all before him before whose
frown domestics tremble, and whose
bursts of fury make the children of
the hcuse quake because he has his
will obeyed, and his own way in- all
things, we call him a strong man. The
truth is, that is the weak man: it is
his passions that are strong: he, mas
tered by them, is weak. You must
measure the strength of a man by his.

dues, not by the power of these which

Forecast of mterials
ai Sfyjfk That Will
JBe Fppular ii? tbe ;
Warn bsrlbs.
It. is not known definitely before
March or April what to expect of
spiring ands summer modes. In the
matter of materials the problem of
choice should not be. more confuting
than usual. The first of the year al
ways brings out an advance choosing
of summer materials and clever wom
en have learned to pick up some of
these materials and trimmings instead
of trusting to the mid-season display.
The lingerie frocks are chiefly of
the type popular last summer, with
clinging blouse and skirt set together
with waistband of lace or embroidery,
and this waistband is located accord
ing to the caprice of the 'designer. The
stumbling block for the designer of
the sheer summer frock at present 'is
the skirt.
The clinging directoire skirt or
plain, close-fitting circular skirt is all
very well for supple satins, crepes,
broadcloths, etc., but for batiste, lawn
and other summer materials it is hard
ly possible, even when a cleverly
fitted slip is worn under it, and for
the genuine tub frock the thing is out
of the question.
It will be interesting to see what
the developments will be along this
line later in the season, but in this
advance stage of the game makers are
merely experimenting and some of the
experiments show skillfully gored,
close-fitting tops with, plaiting intro
duced below. For example, one of
these frocks made for a southern
wardrobe was of batiste and had lines
of inset Valenciennes insertion bor:
dered by tiny frills .of lace running
down from the waistband half way
down the skirt in front and sides, this
part of the skirt being quite closely
fitted.
Each line of trimming is finished at
the bottom with a motif of lace and
from this motif starts a group of
plaits, three In number, giving suffi-

the bottom of the skirt. The bodice
of this little model is good, too, and
simple enough to be easily copied by
a home seamstress. Small batiste cov
ered buttons are set along lines of in
sertion in the sleeves and, bodice front,
forming the only decoration.
The long8leeve is seen In all the
sheer frocks and many women will
sigh regretfully next summer for the
short sleeves of yesteryear. A pretty
'.ong sleeve is almost as much of a
problem as the skirt, and the sleeve
tucked regularly or in groups has
been done to death this winter, so
that, though it will doubtless be the
model most common in the summer
frocks, the fastidious will' strive hard
to get away from it.

Anything that is both novel and useful such as this basket is 3ure to be
appreciated. An oblong wicker basket might be used, though a lightly made
wooden box. or a strong cardboard one, would answer as well. Our model
is lined, first with a layer of wadding, then with satin in a delicate shade of
pink. The satin for the outside is light olive-groon. embroidered in pink flowers,
green foliage and pale blue bows worked with China sibbon, the groundwork
being studded all over with gilt sequins, fixed by small gilt beads This i3
stretched tightly over the outside, and is fixed by seccotine at the edges,
which are made neat by silk and tinsel galloon also fixed by seccotine. The
handle is a strip of double card or buckram covered ewith satin and trimmed
with galloon, the ends sewn or fixed to the oustide ends of basket by small

The bottom should be covered with linen or sateen to make it neat. A

The dancing that girls should do
that they may acquire health and
grace is not done on the waxed, floor
oi a oan-room, out on tne rougn con
crete or canvas floor of a gymnasium,
or even the carpet of a-bedroom. -
Before the recent furor for artistic
dancing that has gained such an Im
petus in the last year or two with
watching Genee, Isadora Duncan and
Gertrude Hoffman, our women had
learned the benefit of what is called
athletic dancing.
To waltz or two step well develops a
swaying grace and is essential to so
cial success, but .its -benefit on the
health may be questioned. The hour at
which social dancing is done, not to
mention the heated' room, tight clothes
and rich food late at night, does not
make it a great health builder.
Athletic dancing, on the other hand,
builds up the muscles of the legs,
ankles and back, increases the endur
ance of the heart and gives the whole
body more poise and grace. There is
mnoh awavlnir rtt trio twirlv nnrl nsu
I of the arms, so that every muscle Is
brought into play.
Many of the old folk dances are
adapted to this work and when the
steps are once learned they can be
practiced instead of regular gymnas
tic exercises-in one's own room. A
half hour of such dancing is said to
be equal to a five-mile walk, and if the
windows are thrown open during the
practice there can be no more health
ful form of athletic work for girls.'
In getting rid of fleshy hips this
gymnastic dancing is one of the latest
fads, and the woman who suffers with
weak ankle3 or if she is inclined to
stumble and walk uncertainly will find
it beneficial.
As the muscles of the legs get more
exercise than those of the upper part
of the body, it is well to alternate,
the dancing with dumb-bell or wand
movements to equalize control of all
muscles in the body.
Style of Hat Frame to Remain.
When you buy a new hat for this
year you will be perfectly safe to buy
the cloche shape, the kind that comes
down on the head, giving the effect of
a. high crown and no brim. ' You have
been familiar with this style for the
past few months, made up in fur, usu
ally lynx or fox, but now the time has
come to wear the same shape made up

violets seem to be the most popular
and the most effective, although bluets
or any other small flower would look
just as well.

"Rabbi Joseph Krauskopf, our,, elo-"
quent preacher." said a Philadelphian.
"sees good rather than evil in the fre
quency of American divorce. He sees
in it a sign that American wives will
not endure the treatment that Eu
ropean wives put up with. He sees in
it a promise that the married men of
the future will live better.
"Discussing the divorce question the
other day, he told me that they who.
perceived only evil in it reminded him.
in their illogical and confused view
point, of a little boy with whom he
once took a stroll.
"As they strolled, they passed the
young girls. of a neighboring boarding
school out on their daily walk. The
girls moved in military formation, two
by two. In front were the youngest, in
skirts to their knees. Next came the
older ones, in the, order of their ages,
their skirts lengthening with their
years. And in the rear came the old
est of all, the young ladies, whose v
skirts hid even their boots.
"Te little boy looked at the girls.
Then he frowned and said:
"'Why is it that their legs grow
shorter as they grow bigger?' "
I sundry work at home would bs
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces
sary to use ob much starch mat the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This troi
ble can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.
CONSOLING.

Model (cheerily) Never mind. Pov
erty is no crime.
Sheer white goods. In fact, any fine
wash goods when new, owe much of
their attractiveness to the way they
are laundered, this being done in a
manner to enhance their textile beau
ty. Home laundering would be equal
ly satisfactory if proper attention was
given to starching, the first essential
being good Starch, which has sufficient
strength to stiffen, without thickening
the goods. Try Defiance Starch and
you will be pleasantly surprised at ihe '
improved appearance of your work.
No Luxuries.
"Why, you've got the grip, old man."
"I have not. I can't afford to quit
work and go to bed. This is merely a
darned bad cold." i
