"My dear" answered Mrs. Wind-

"If you wish It my dear" Mild Mr.

"A beautiful phrase!" murmured
Mrs. Wlndson.

He learnt from him the name of the
hcinl-ofllclal representative of the

.found himself talking with tin exulted
being who must be nameless.
"I fully appreciate" said the c
nlted being "your putilotlo deslie to
servo thii country and the magnitude
of your stake in the laud but wasn't
there something u little llshy about

"I don'L deny" replied Mr. Wind-

Willie wns nmnrlngly silent nnd sc-

busy In contcrsntlon the hnndsoinn
young man exchanged hasty whin-
pcra with his pretty cousin which
caused her to turn red nnd white and
red nnd white as if shu were n light-
hoiiKO slgunl.
When dessert had como nnd thu but-
ler hnd gone Wllllo cleared his throat
filled his glass with port nnd solemn-
ly said:
"I propose tho health of Mr Wind-
son M. IV
"Xoir.cnse!" interrupted the old
gentleman fiercely. "Von know 1
hnto no chnnce."
"They told you" said tins young
mnn "that you might get in If the
liberal totes were split. Uncle John
I am fond of you nnd proud of you. I
ntn u keen politician with fluctuating
cplulonn. I nm prepared to split the
liberal tote and win the seat for

"You?" e.Nclulmcd Mr. and Mrs.
Mrs. WIiuIkoii in a breath.
"Yes I: on certain conditions. It's
like this mint and uncle. Nellio nnd
I are fond of one another; (lint's so
Isn't It Nellie?" and the girl gate
an uniimatho blush.
"You let us get inarrled glte us n

ing ou u chance of success such as
you could get In no other way.
The old people looked lit one nil-
other; then Mr. Wlndson said grate-
ly: "It's highly Improper."
"Nothing thnt Isn't found out Is
Improper In polities" replied the
young limn; "and besides If It
weren't proper I wouldn't iiinkc u
bnrgnln about It. I would do It for
mere lon of you mid untitle."
"O father!" Interposed Nellie
"we'tis been fond of ono iinnthr for
nn awfully long time mid I will net-
er marry anybody else; and hn does
peak beautifully mid ho might get
joii In and that would be so lot fly
and you would maid! sucli u splendid
llguru In the house and wo shouldn't
want much to live on; nnd O moth-
er!" And then the. girl hid her face
on the masslto boaom of Mrs. Wind-
son. "You lire n scapegrace" said Mr
Wlndson "ami your father was no
butter nnd I meant Nellie for some
swell but you're my sister's son. I'll
make u conditional promise that if I
get In well I'll think about It."
There was much haggling after this
hut In the cud tlm youth won nil
along tho Hue and old Wimlsou as-
sented to the marriage and agreed
to glto his daughter 10000 as a
doit ry.
Next day tho Wlndsons by one train
nnd Willie Appletou by another has-
tened to the benighted town of Abcr-
dnterry for It was a tltal pint of
their scheme that ho far as possible
they would seem strangers to one
another.
Willie during the day picked up an
agent who seemed an excellent spe-
cimen of his class. He wus it pros-
perous little gioeernnmed DatiesMor-
gati who had been a feneut radical
mid indent pcace-nl-aio-pilce man
III his son. In the Welch fusiliers hnd
won thu "V. C" when suddenly ho
had grown cnutluccd that the u-. with

nblo to find anyono In the tlmo but:
William Jenkins and he's suspected
of a leaning toward 'the church and'
has n weakness for cutting down
prices for Inbor. Morooicr. he's n'
bad speaker and a precious menu
man."
"Then what on enrth do you think
will happen?" snld Willie.
"I think they'll nominate him and
you'll get In."
"And Wlndson?"
"He's no chnnce anyhow."
Willie gnsped and then roared with
laughter so long mid loud that Mr
Duties Morgan became nlmosl flight-
cncil. A little while. Inter by thn
aid of n secret messenger Willie suc-
ceeded In getting Into commiiulcatloii
with Nellie. What passed between
the lovers probably will neter bo
known except by thctn.
Old Mr. Wlndson promptly sent a
message to him but the young mnn
took to his bed nnd got one of his
friends u brilliant M. I) without a
practice to certify that he turn so
oiercome iy his labors ns candidate
that he must be kept silent for a
day or two.
Wllllo lny snugly In bed or rather
on n sofa till tho election day

ing lurid French novels and gossip-

brilliant young staff ot fellow-poll
tlclaiis who worked Immensely.
The. reports' thnt reached lilni wer
lastly fatorable. Some tit Id carni-
tines cf Mr. Jenkins preaching thrift
to thu workmen iind diminishing their
wages at the same time told terri-
bly against the radical; while merci-
less caricatures of Lord I.nnsdottne
nnd others connected with the war
ofllco worked m-vcrcly against old
Wlndson though not pet haps so se-
tercly ns the poor gentlemnii's ef-
forts ut oratory and the nasty para-
graphs In the papers as to his
ilnaiice.
Netelthfless until the last though
he kept out of tho way of old Wind-
son for fear of being foieed Into n
false position Willie regarded the
whole nffnir as n huge joke mid
failed to bellc7c that he was likely
to bo elected.
Just before the lime when the an-
nouncement of the result was expect-
ed Willie went to the principal hotel
of the place where old Wlndson was
staging.
"Uncle" said he "the iiues-pected
trouble about the nomination forced
me to the conclusion that the only
sound course was to cease pcisoually
from woiking and i est rain as far us
I could the ardor of my friends. I
durst not hate seen .ton or communi-
cate with joii despite your elTnrts
for I know we hate been closely
watched atifl that might liate gheii

The old gentleman did not rcccitc
the explanation with enthusiasm but
kept his temper wry well till sud-
denly enmu the astounding news that
Willie wus head of the poll with 001
totes old Wlndson second with MO
ami Jenkins thlid with HT.i for a
large mass of radicals luul abstained

larity of Jenkins.
"You hate plujcil a iiilllatilj

Ilcbcls at home havo kept her
tvake nnd anxious. Her near neigh-
bor Nicaragua sent Gen. Fmlllnno
Hcrrcrn to help those rebels more
than a year ago and he was on the
rcry point ot taking Panama when
lie suddenly desisted. He had an
"intimation" front the commander of
a llrltlsh mnn-o'-trar. Such hints
have weight in Latin America. Now
Gen. Hcrrcra lltcs tn peace with a
fa ml I j- so lovely 'twould be passing

Then Scnor Castro Venezuela's
protlslonal president sent an nrmj
lo tread on Colombia's sktrt. Per-
haps because he had troubles of his
own with rebels who still make it
uncertain whether he can keep his
scat but for some cause he forgot
that no civilized nntion neglects to
llrst declare wnr before trying to cut
the throat ot a friendly neighbor.
Possibly most of that armj were
refugees from Colombia and it may
Iss that Castro was glad to have
them go nnd sink or swim as best
they might rid him of their com-
pany. No ofllclat announcement has
been made that thin was his purpose.
The force from Venezuela had lit-
tle dlfllculty about intadlng Colom-

in documents and theory the penin-
sula of (lunjirn is partly in the ter-
ritory of Venezuela and the larger
part under the government of Colom-
would be a violation of treaty rlgafe
with my government; and tie latter
should you attempt such Interfere
would act accordingly.
Mild expression but exceedingly
disconcerting. It spoiled the plan for
using Colon as a port through which
to get arms men and munitions. It
ended the expectation of carrylngsuca
men and supplies over tht Panama
railroad; and It dashed all hopes of
success In the scheme for ousting the
existing administration from control
ot the Panama canal.
Zclaya of Nicaragua hastened to
assure Colombia of his "friendly In-
tentions." Kcuatlor showed official or-
ders he had sent to arrest all nllbus-
ctrs and seize any supplies they might
have. It will not be surprising If Ven-
ezuela comes forward with a declara
tion that It's all a mistake about her
troops inrading Colombia: that they
were merely exploring the territory
of the Guajira all these centuries tin-
conqutred by white men.
He who looks for a came for thf
rebellion in Colombia might perhaps
find it In the belief that the United
States will pay millions of dollars for
rights connected with the ownership
nr control of the great ship canal.
The handling ot that money would
richly repay all cost of a dozen revo-
lutions'. One cause of the wllllngnessot Latin
American republics to meddle In such
way with their cistcrs is the fact that
each Is n safe asjltim for political ref-
ugees for thieves and for assassins
from neighboring countries. In such
havens these conspire safely and get
up filibustering expeditions against
anj- other countrj- which is not too
strong.
Of course the governments of those
republics could stop all this at once
if they woutd; but race prejudice re-
ligious intolerance and a el fish ambi
tions of state or of individual pre-
tent concert of action for such pur-
pose. Fear of insurrection at home
doubtless leads such men at Zelaya
and Castro to furnish a vent for tur
bulent spirits bj- helping them to fight
in a neighboring republic; the more
readily If that neighbor happens
to he in difficulties. Deslde no dic-

mii Inn things of life. There hro
plenty of Instances of men who hate

tinuing la the netltities of the world
is long as those actltllles- are of the
brain and not of the hand. Hut the
mechanic's highest skill Is shown
then he Is between the ages of ::o
Hid 40. After the Utter age his hum!
loses Its cunning but If his brain has

A good Instance of the earlj- death

In n letter toThe Farmer"St. Paul.
dated Sept. 1st 1001 Vrof. Thoman
Shaw of the Minnesota State Univer-
sity ban the following to say after
having made a trip through Western
Cannda:
"The capabilities of the Immense
tren known as Western Canada are
but little understood on this sldent the
line. Our people arc apt to look upon
It as a region of frost nnd snow a coun-
try In which but small portion of tho
land relatively wilt ever be tillable
because of the rigors of the climate.
True the climate Is cold in winter
... .
uui tirsicrn lanaua us ncvrnnrirM
Just that sort of climate which makes
It the most reliable wheat produclni;
lountry in all the continent.
t '.
AN IMMENSE AHEA.
Western Cannda is not only an Im-
mense area but the same description
will apply to those (tortious ot thn
country that arc capable of lieing suc-
cessfully tilled or grazed. Nearly all
of theprairie Province of Manitoba can
be brought undercultivatlon although
probably not one-third of Its sur-
face has been Inld open by the plough.
Asslnibola to the west is a grain and
stock country. Saskatchewan to thn
north of Asslniboia has high adapta-
tion for the same. This also may he
said of Alberta to the west. Here lies
what may be termed a grain growing
and stock producing empire the re-
sources ot which have becn'but little
drawn upon comparatively slewed
from the standpoint of the agricultur-
ist. When it is called to mind that
even in the Peace Itlver Country sev-
eral hundreds of miles north of tho
Canadian boundary wheat wns grown
which won a premium at the World'
Fair In 1S03 the capabilities of thi.
country in wheat production loom up
more brlghtlj than even the brilliant
Northern lights of the land that lies
toward the pole.
ADAPTED TO STOCK AND GRAIN
PRODUCTION.
The region under consideration Is.
however mainly adapted to growing
grain and grazing Mock. Much ot it
is adapted to growing both grain and
stock but certain areas especially
towards the mountain are onlj adapt-
ed to ranching except xthcre Irriga-
tion will yet lie introduced. This ot
course can be done successfully along
the mauj streams that flow down from
the Hookies nnd water the country
towards the east nnd north. Tho
adaptation of the country for wheat
production is of n high character.
The cool nights that usually charac-
terize the ripening season are em-
inently favorable to the tilling of the
grain and to the securing of a plump
berry and consequently large jleld.
The crop this j'cer is a magnificent
one. In Manitoba ami the Territories
il should certainly give an average o!
more than 20 bushels per acre. P.ut
should the j'iehl be not more than SO
bushels the crop will be a most hand
some one owing to the large area
sown to wheat. M.inj farmers only
grow grain. Uut those who do suc-
ceed ns well In grow lug oat s and barley
as in growing wheat hence these foods
for lite stock should alwajs bo
abundant. Some grow cattle main-
ly and others combine the two

QUALITY OP LIVE STOCIw.
It was a pleasurable surprise to
note the high quality of the stock. The
average of quality hi cattle is higher
than the at erage of cattle In our State
unless in the dairy classes. This opln
Ion Is not reached raslilj- or without
ample opportunity for iutestlgtitlou.
I spent three lung dajs in the show
ring at Winnipeg making the awards
in the beef classes. I question if any
of our states single handed could
make such a shotting fit cattle. It was
my privilege to make the awards at
several shows and at all of them
were evidences that much attention is
given to the Improtemrnt of the stock.
I noted carefully the character of the
herds that grazed along the railroad
and everjwhire the high average of
the quality of the stock was in eti-
dence. IlEASONS FOIt QUAI.ITT IN 8TOCIC
The quality of the grass is
good. Mnn j- ot the settlers came
from Ontario and hnd been schooled
as to the value of good stock before
going west. The railroad's and tho
Government hate taken a deep In-
terest in making it less difficult ami i
costly to the farmers to secure goodj
males.
Those who arc anxious of changing
their residence should benr in mind
that the lauds In Western Camilla are
m a nj- of them free and others reason-
ably cheap.
