THE ACME OF UNBELIEF.
•Close” Man’s Reputation Must Have
Been Well Established.
One day last week three members
of the Stork Kxehnnge, one of whom
Is generally reputed to be rather
“close.” were on their way to luncheon
when they were met by three sisters
of charily soliciting alms. Each one
contributed something, but one of the
sisters inadvertently solicited from the
close one for the second time. Natur-
ally enough lie protested politely that
he had done his duty.
“1 believe him,” said the first mem-
ber in tho ear of the second, “but 1 did
not see It.”
“Well," said the second, “1 saw him
do It, but 1 don't believe It.”—New
York Times.
An Early Skirt Dancer.
Kate Vaughan, who died recently in
Johannesburg, is alleged by the Eng-
lish to have been the originator of the
skirt dance. She was an ail round
actress and had been on the stage
from early childhood, the parts of
Little Nell and Little Em’ly.in “David
Copperfield,” being among her pre-
liminary triumphs. She first attempt-
ed her dancing in the “tempestuous
petticoat” so long ago that few living
exponents of th© art will care to con-
test the claim that she was first. It
Is said that the manager of the Lon-
don theater in which Miss Vaughn
first gave the dance cheerfully paid
a weekly bill of 240 for the renewal
of her skirts.
A Puzzling Calculation.
We all like to puzzle our brain over
things which give certain and strange
results, but which we cannot explain.
Here’s a puzzle that puzzles every-
body: Take the number of your liv-
ing brothers, double the amount, add
to it three, multiply the result by five,
add to it the number of living sis-
ters, multiply the result by ten, add
to it the number of deaths of broth-
ers and sisters, subtract 150 from the
result. The right-hand figure will be
the number of deaths, the middle
figure the number of living sisters
and the left the number of living
brothers.—Canton Saturday Roller.
Brains Cost Money.
This is the opinion of a large retail
merchant on wage-earners. When an
irate customer complained that the
store was full of insolent chumps whe
did not understand the first principles
of waiting on a patron he said: “II
my clerks had brains enough to
amount to anything they would not be
working here at $7 or $8 per week.’-
“Why don’t you hire clerks with
brains?” asked the customer. “Be-
cause brains cost more money than 1
can afford to pay,” was the reply. “In
our business we pay large salaries
to slave drivers and nothing to th«
•laves.**

Ibclr herds of rattle number from luo

poplar bluffs, and they come In in th*
spring in good order. Moot of the

I have se«*n the finest fat cattle 1 eveg
aaw that never got n peck of grata-
only fattened on the grass. You se*
I have learned to talk fariu since I
came here—farming is the great busi-
ness here. I know several iu this
distrlet who never worked n day on
the farm till they came here, and
have done well and are gettiug well
off.
1 think this will be the garden ot
the Northwest some day, and that day
not very far distant There has been
a great change since we came here,
and there will be a greater change in
the next five years. The winters are
all anyone could wish for. We hav*
very little snow, and the climate is
fine and healthy. Last summer was
Vet, but not to an extent to damage
crops, which were a large average
'yield and the hay was immense—and
fanners wore a broad smile accord-
ingly.
. We have good schools, the govern-
ment pays 70 per cent of the expense
of education, which is a great boon
in a new country. Of course churches
of different denominations follow the
settlements. Summer picnics and win-
ter concerts are all well attended, and
Us much, or more, enjoyed as in the
^H&t. Who would not prefer the pure
air of this climate with its broad acres
of fine farms, its rippling streams, its
“beautiful lakes, its millions of wild
flowers, its* groves of wild fruit ol
exquisite flavor, its streams and lakes
teeming with fish and its prairies and
bluffs with game, to the crowded and
stiff state of society in the East. 1
would like to go home for a visit
some time, but not to go there to live,
even if presented with the best farm
in Michigan. Beautiful Alberta, I will
never leave it. And my verdict is only
a repetition of all who have settled in
this country- This year I believe will
add many thousands to our population.
And if the young men, and old men
also, knew how easy they could make
a home free of all incumbrance in this
country, thousands more would have
settled here. I would sooner have 16Q
acres here than any farm where 1
came from in Michigan, but the peo-
ple in the East are coming to a knowl-
edge of this country, and as they do,
they will come West in thousands. AU
winter people have been arriving in
Alberta, and I suppose in other parts
as well, which is unusual, so we ex-
pect a great rush when the weather
gets warmer.
We have no coal famine here. Coal
con be bought in the towns for $2 to $3,
according to distance from the mines,
and many haul their own coal from
•he mines, getting it there for 5i oents
to a dollar a to*. Very truly your*,
(Signed) Mrs. John McLachlan.
