DEFEAT TUBUS 0D SUEZ CANAL
British Troops Repel Attempt To
Bridge the Channel.
London.—The Turks at last have
made a definite attack on the Suez
canal, but after a sharp fight they
were driven off with heavy losses.
After a fruitless attempt made to
bridge the canal, near Toussoum, they
returned to the attack with a force
estimated at 12,000 and six batteries
of artillery and essayed to get across
the waterway on rafts. The British
force, however was waiting, and the
invaders were forced back, leaving
about three hundred prisoners in the
hands of the defenders. A consider-
number of the Turks were killed and
wounded. The British lost fifteen
killed and fifty-eight wounded.
The attack also was renewed by the
Turks at El Kantara. but this met
with no greater success than the other
attempt, the Turkish losses in killed,
wounded and prisoners numbering up-
ward of a hundred. The New Zea-
land contingent and presumably tba
Australians took part in the battles.

The last minstrel stopped at a back
door and said to the nousewlfe who
greeted him:
“Give me something to eat, fair
dame, and I will tickle your ears with
a merry tale of romance."
“But why not tell me the tale Drat?"
the dame auggeated.
"No, 1 must have the food and drink
before I talk."
Thereupon the dame slammed the
door with the tart reply:
“You're not a merry minstrel; you're
an after-dinner speaker."

ETI0UETTE OF THE DR0SHKY
Being Allowed Selection of Companion
Ono Can Imagine Mods of
Travel Enjoyable.
The Siberian method of riding In a
droshky requires an etiquette all ita
own, which, although sometimes aur-
prising to the English traveler who
encounters It for the first time, !■
based upon practical considerations.
The danger of being thrown out has
determined the prevailing usage, says
Mrs. John Clarence Lee In “Across
Siberia Alone."
If a gentleman escorts a lady, it In
bis task to hold her In the carriage—
not an easy occupation. He accom-
plishes it by putting his arm round her
waist. A man who fails to do so is
considered as lacking In courtesy.
When you have become acquainted
with the custom, It seems entirely sen-
sible and comfortable, but It seems
strange at first to find yourself net-
tling back Into a stranger’s arms.
An American, who had lived In Rus-
sia and whom we met In China, told us
that he was driving with a woman
physician, a Russian, middle-aged,
and of the rotund Russian type. He
knew nothing about his duty toward
her, and they thrashed round that
three-by-flve droshky until the woman
turned angrily toward him.
“Have you been brought up in the
backwoods that you don’t know
enough to hold me in this droshky?”
she said.
He immediately put his arm round
her waist as far as it would go, and
held on hard.—Youth’s Companion.
Raising Late Strawberries.
Representative D. H. Drunkker of
New Jersey gave a few friends a sur-
prise one evening last September.
He had been discussing agriculture
with some members, and remarked
that he had enjoyed strawberries
raised in the open in his native state.
The other congressmen hooted at
the idea of Jersey selling strawberries
from the field In the latter part of
September, but Drukker stuck to his
point and invited the doubting Thom-
ases to dine with him a few nights
later.
In the meantime he had wired for
several quarts of berries to a trucker
near his home who made a specialty
of late berries. The strawberries came
and were served for dinner, much to
the surprise of the gentlemen, who
found it difficult to credit their own
senses.
Raspberries and strawberries in
October are now getting to be quite
a fad among those up-to-date farm-
ers who know how to do the stunt,
which consists in pulling off from the
plant the early blooms.
Cathedral’s Vicissitudes.
St Paul’s cathedral of London has
had a strange association with fire.
The first edifice on the present site
was erected in 610 by Ethelbert, king
of Kent, but in 1087 this was de-
stroyed by fire. Finally in 1666, when
the great fire devastated most of Lon-
don, St. Paul’s was wrecked, this be-
ing the fifth fire. In 1675 the pres-
ent church was built by Charles II at
a cost of more than $7,500,000.
The candidate who gets the vote of
the fair sex ought to receive a hand-
some majority.
CANADA ONE OF THE
WORLD raws
Although Canadas real start In na-
tional development aa pointed out by
the Buffalo Commercial, came slow
ly and late, aa compared with that of
the United States. It la now well un-
der way. and very soon there will be
a marvelous expaualon In agriculture,
tnluiug and manufacturing
Tba paper abova mentioned says
that "heretofore the development of
Canada, like that of the Colled States,
has been weetwnrd, but unlike this
country, the Dominion baa n great
territory to the North, which baa been
regarded as all but uninhabitable, but
In which recent research has proven
there are possibilities of develop-
ment almost Inconceivable." After
making complimentary reference to
the resources of the country tributary
to the Hudson Bay, which will be
opened up when the railroad now un-
der construction Is completed, the
Commercial further saya "there are
those living today who will see our
neighbor on the north a great and
powerful nation, and a not Insignifi-
cant industrial and commercial rival
of the United States. The war may
retard, but It cannot destroy, Canada s
future. And in this expansion no one
will more heartily rejoice than the
people of the United States, because
the prosperity of the Dominion la
bound to Increase our own.”
Herein Is the spirit that dominates
the Dominion Government when it
extends an Invitation to Americana to
assist in developing the resources that
Canada possesses, whether they be
mineral, forest, Industrial, commercial
or agriculture. Both countries will
benefit and the Uuited States will be
a gainer by having as a neighbor a
country whose resources are as great
and varied as are those of Canada.
In comparing the United States
along with other nations of the world
in producing and Importing food-
stuffs. the Agricultural Outlook pub-
lished by the United States depart-
ment of agriculture says:
The United States In recent years
has been as large an Importer of food-
stuffs as exporter; therefore she can-
not be classed as a surplus producer
of foodstuffs. This Is contrary to pop-
ular impression. It is true that she
is an exporter of certain articles, but
she Is an equally large Importer of
other articles. In thiB classification
tea and coffee are Included with food-
stuffs. In edible grains the produc-
tion Is 23 per cent more than the
amount retained; the production of
meats is six per cent more—that
Is, exports of meat equal six per cent
of that retained in the United States
for consumption; the production of
dairy products is 20 per cent more
than consumed; the production of
poultry is just about equal to con-
sumption; of vegetables, one per cent
less.
An investigation into the produc-
tion, imports and exports of food prod-
ucts of various countries indicates
that England produces about 53 per
cent of her food requirements, and
imports (net) about 47 per cent;'Bel-
gium produces 57 per cent, and im-
ports 43 per cent; Germany produces
88 per cent, and imports 12 per cent;
France produces 92 per cent, and im-
ports eight per cent; Austria-Hungary
produces 98 per cent, and imports two
per cent; Russia produces 110 per
cent of her requirements, and exports
an equivalent of about 10 per cent;
Canada produces 23 per cent more
than she consumes; Argentina pro-
duces 48 per cent more than she con-
sumes; the United States produces
practically no more than she con-
sumes (i. e. exports and imports of
foodstuffs almost balance).
With this information before the
reader, it is not a difficult matter to
direct attention to the fact that Can-
ada stands in a pre-eminent position
in the matter of grain and cattle pro-
duction, and with a large territory
yet unoccupied she will always main-
tain it.—Advertisement
When a man feels like kicking him-
self he doesn’t want anybody else to

A woman will forgive a man almost
anything—except the fact that he beat
her at her own game.

band can always find what he is look-
ing for Just where he left it.
