PREPARING FOR NEW SETTLERS

EXTENDING THE AGRICULTURAL, IN WESTERN CANADA. For sometime past the Canadian government has had surveyors at work platting new areas for the accommodation of the largely increasing number of settlers coming in to occupy the agricultural districts of the three prairie provinces. There were these connected with the work of securing settlers for western Canada who last spring prophesied that there would be as many as 175,000 new settlers from the United States to Canada during the present year, and there were those who doubted that' the previous year’s figures of 122,000 could be increased. Recent computation made by the officials of the immigration branch at Ottawa show that the largest "estimates made by officials will be beaten and that the 200,000 mark from the United States will be reached. As great an Increase will be shown in the figures of those who will reach Canada from other countries this year. The results of the year’s work in Canadian immigration will give upward of a total of 400,000 souls. But this is not to be wondered at when it is realized what is offering in the three prairie provinces and also in the coast province of British Columbia, which is also bidding strongly and successfully, too, for a certain class of settler, the settler who wishes to go into mixed farming or fruit raising. When the central portion of this province is opened up by the railway now being constructed there will be large areas of splendid land available for the settle. Reference has frequently been made of late by those interested in developing the American west to the large numbers who are going to Canada, high officials in some of the railways being amongst the number to give voice to the fact The more these facts become known the more will people seek the reasons and these are best given when one reads what prominent people say of it. What the farmer thinks of it and what his friends Bay of it. James A. Flaherty, supreme knight of the Knights of Columbus, was in western Canada a short time ago. He says: "If I were a young man I would sell out my interests in less than two months and come right to the Canadian Northwest, where so many opportunities abound.” —Advertisement

SPARKS AND ASHES

Triumph and Vindication of a Woman’s Outraged Love; iiiter Taught Lesson.

By FRANCES A. COREY.

A delicate party gown lay over the backs of two chairs. Anne Graham stood on the white fur rug, gazing dreamily into the open fire when the door-bell rang. The caller was Mrs. Trueblood, a near neighbor, and a trusted friend of the family. She was allowed to come up. "My dear, have you heard the news?” the good lady broke out excitedly, before she had fairly seated herself. ‘Morris Burton is back In town again! They say he’s going to remodel the old home-place and setr tie down here.” Anne drew a Quick, sharp breath. Morrie Burton had jilted her five years before, and eloped with a red-haired heiress on the morning of their wedding day. “No, I hadn’t heard," she answered after a moment. “Ice’ll be at the party tonight,” Mrs. Trueblood went on quiveringly. “He’s wagered Dr. Bliss that he’ll prove, before the evening is over, that you’re as much in love with him as ever! How perfectly outrageous!” Whatoever Anne may have felt, she was surprisingly calm. “Thank you for telling me," was all she vouchsafed.

“Of course you’ll stay at home tonight?” ‘No. Why should I? I must meet Morris sooner or later. I’ve heard,” she added musingly, “that his rich wife died last summer and left him all her money.” Mrs. Trueblood looked at Anne curiously as she rose to go. Was the dear girl going to make a fool of herself again over the handsome scamp? The minute Anne found herself alone she virent straight to a cedar chest in the alcove and gently lifted out a white satin gown that had lain there for five years. There was a half-defiant impulse to put it on and -meet her faithless lover thus arrayed; but she presently laid the glistening robe back again in its sweet-smelling receptacle. Mrs. Peyton’s rooms were full to overflowing when Anne arrived upon the scene. A quick interchange of glances as she entered told her that Bhe was an object of speculative interest to the assembled guests. For just one burning moment she felt like turning back; but Professor Lawson was coming toward her. He seemed a tower of strength, and her courage revived. And then, for a second, her heart stopped beating. "By the way, Miss Graham," the professor said with seeming carelessleßS, "an old friend of yours is here tonight—Morris Burton of New York. Perhaps you had heard ?’’ So he knew the old story? Of course —it had’ been town talk. “Yes, Mrs. Trueblood told me.” she replied, recognizing the kindly impulse that had led him to give her timely warning. “It 1b five years since Mr. Burton went away. I wonder if he is much changed." She was outwardly composed, and Professor Lawson drew a breath of relief. Whether the meeting would be an ordeal or not, he need fear no weak betrayal on her part. And yet Anne’s limbs trembled under her as she slipped away into the crowd. She could not have told which feeling predominated, dread or longing. Suddenly some wordß came to her ears from behind a screen of palms. "Everybody is wondering if Anne has remained single on Morris Burton’s account We will soon know." “She won’t speak to him if she has a particle of pride,” was the spirited response. "But women are Buch fools.” Anne hurried on with burning cheeks. Suddenly a group of acquaintances parted before her, and she wase face to face with her old lover. In a hushed silence she held out her hand as if they had parted on the friendliest terms. “Welcome home, Mr. Burton.” He flushed with surprise and-grati-fication.. There was no pretense of resentment. But then she had been very much in love with him. Of course she knew his wife was dead, and there was no barrier between them. His wager was as good as won! "Thank you, Anne, for this kind reception,” he said with a complacent smirk. “It’s just what I expected. Do you know, I came tonight expressly to see you. Let’s find a quiet corner where we can talk.” Anne accepted his proffered arm. He looked down at her curiously. She had more than fulfilled the promise of girlhood. Bhe had a womanly dignity, an air of conscious strength far more attractive than mere beauty. Dimly it began to dawn upon him why Dr. Bliss had been so ready to bet the odds against him. But he was not the sort of man a woman can easily forget—and her greeting had been reassuring! "You are so much better to me than I deserve, Anne,” he said impressively. leaning over her in a very loverlike way. “fa it possible that you have forgiven me?’ “I forgave you long ago,” she replied sweetly.' - “I played you a shabby trick.” "Let’s forget all about It." “Oh, can you do that? I dared not hope It.’ lie cried, his handsome head drooping more and more. He Was tempted to setae one of her hands and

carry it to his Ups. This close companionship vividly recalled those other days, the happiest—he had to confess It to himself—of his Use. Exultantly he set himself to the task of making good bis boast __ He and Anne waltzed together, or sat out dances In quiet nookß. Soon It began to be whispered about that the poor girl was as completely under her fickle lover’s spell as she ever had been. . * There were lines of pain In Professor Lawson’s fine face. He had come to the same conclusion as the other lookers-on. “How can she trust that man?” he said to himself. "He will have me to deal with if the old experience is repeated.” But the moment came, as the evening wore on, when Morris ceased to play a part. It dawned bewilderingly upon him that this was the woman he should have married In the first place. He had loved Anne as deeply as he was capable of loving. Now the old fire was rekindled In his heart like a smoldering coal when blown upon. Suddenly he wanted her more than he had ever wanted anything in all his selfish life. "Anne, dear,” he said impulsively, as they drew apart from the supper crowd, "I did a wicked thing five years ago. The lure of gold tempted me, and I broke my promise. But your Image still lives in my heart. Oh, won’t you give back the love I recklessly flung away? I will prize it as the dearest thing on earth.” Anne did not answer. Her tongue clove to the roof of her mouth. “Tell me, dearest,” he urged, "if you still care for me.” The color ebbed slowly from her face. She began to tremble. But the power of speech came suddenly back. “No woman’s love could survive the test to which you subjected mine,” she gravely replied. “I said I had forgiven you—and it Is true. You unwittingly did me a great kindness when you passed me by and put another woman in my place. But I am no longer the unsophisticated girl who idealized you five years ago. I have grown worldly wise.” "Wait! You don’t understand,” he gasped, dazed and incredulous. For Bhe was slipping into the thick of the crowd, breathlessly eager to escape him. “I want you, dear. I’m asking you to marry me—” Anne kept straight on, her head in the air. She neither knew nor cared that some of the bystanders had seen and heard —that her triumph and vindication were complete. The whole episode had been a terrible strain upon her. Now her one thought was escape from the place. A sturdy figure loomed against the deligate green things embowering the entrance hall. Looking up half shylyf Anne encountered Professor Lawson’s gaze bent searchlngly upon her. For a minute she hesitated — then went bravely up to him. "Please take me home," she said. He tucked her hand under his arm. But nothing more was said until they were outside the house, under the tender stars. Then he said in a curiously tense tone: ■ i "Anne, you know that I love you. What does this mean?” “Anything you wish,” she softly answered. (Copyright, 1912,- by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)

Luxury of Being Rich.

When the Emperor Joseph 11. was in Paris in the reign of Louis XVI. he was in the habit of walking about the city incognito. One morning he went into an elegant coffee house and caked for a cup of chocolate. He was plainly dressed and the waiter insolently refused It, saying it was too earfy. Without making any reply he walked out and went into a little coffee house. He asked for a cup of chocolate, and the landlord politely answered that it should be ready In a moment. While he waited for it, as the coffee house was empty, he walked up and down and was conversing on different subjects, when the landlord’s daughter, a very pretty girl, made her appearance. The emperor wished her a good day, according to the French mode, and observed to her father that it was time she Bhould be married. "Ah!” replied the old man, “if I had but a thousand crowns, I could marry her to a man who Is very fond of her —but, sir—the chocolate Is ready.’ The emperor called for pen, Ink and paper; the girl ran to fetch them, and he gave her an order on his banker for 6,000 livres.

Backache Makes Anyone Feel Old

Nothing ages anyone more Quickly than weak kidneys. It 1s not alone the aching ba.ck, the stiff, painful joints, but the evil effect of ba<L poisoned blood on the nerve*, the vital organs and the digestion. The condition of the kidneys makes good health or ill-health. The kidneys are the filters of the blood. Active kidneys filter from the blood every day over one ounce of poisonous waste and pass it off dissolved in the urine. If tne kidneys are weak or diseased, only part of this filtering is done and the blood is heavy with uric acid and other poisonous or waste matter. Instead of being nourished by the blood, the nerves and vital organs are irritated, and the circulation, digestion, eta* are disturbed. If your back aches constantly, if your joints are stiff, lame and painful, suspect the kidneys. Kidney sufferers are likely, to feel dull, heavy, restless at night, rheumatic, dizzy at times, subject to headabhes and annoyed with sharp, piercing pains that make work an agony and rest impossible. Doan’s Kidney Pills are the best-recom-mended and most widely used remedy for weak or diseased kidneys. They act quickly; contain no poisonous nor habit-form-ing drugs and leave no bad after-affects of any kind—just make you feel better all over.

BLAME PLACED ON PHYSICIANS

Growth of Drug Habit in United Btatea Alleged to Be Due to Opiatea Ordered In Prescriptions. That 99 per cent of all the cocaine and morphine manufactured in this country is used by persons who have formed the drug habit through physicians’- prescriptions is the startling statement made by Dr L. P. Kebler, Chief of the Division of Drugs, Department of Agriculture. This statement, and others, proving that physicians and not “patent” medicines are responsible for the appalling growth of drug addiction in the United States was made by Dr. Kebler in an address at Washington, before the American Society for the Study of Alcohol and Narcotics. Dr. Kebler is quoted by Washington papers as having declared that drug using had increased 100 per cent, in the last 40 years, and that American medical men were not discriminating enough in their use of opiates. Their overindulgence to their patients, he said, is creating thousands of drug users every year. “It is a very sad thing to say that our physicians are doing the greatest work in promoting the use of cocaine and morphine,” said the doctor. “State laws are not saving the public from the grip of the drug habitj and the American public is sinking tighter and tighter into the black abyss of the morphine and cocaine fiend. “The worst of it is that the importation of opium into the country is becoming larger and larger year by year. I have heard it said on reliable authority that 99 per cent, of the cocaine and morphine manufactured in this country is used by persons who have formed the habit through doctors’ prescriptions.” Almost simultaneously with Dr. Kohler's address, Dr. J. A. Patterson, at Grand Rapids, Michigan, in a public statement said that 19 out of every 20 patients who come to an institution with which he is connected for treatment for the drug habit owe their downfall to physicians’ prescriptions.

Looking After His Balt.

Daniel and Harvey, two old, expert fishermen, were “still” fishing for trout in deep water, sitting with their backs together, when Daniel accidentally fell out of the boat and went down. Harvey looked back and missed his companion, who at that moment appeared on the surface, pipe still in his mouth, shaking his whiskers profusely. Harvey—Gosh, Dan! I jest missed ye! Where ye been? Dan —Oh, I Jes’ went down for ter see if me bait wus all right—Judge.

Beans In His Head.

Two beans, one of which had sprouted into an embryo plant, were removed from the head of a Mexican laborer at San Bernardino, Cal., by a physician. For months the man had complained of severe pains. The beans had entered his head through his left ear The growing plant was nearly an inch long and apparently had flourished in the ear tube.

Wolf, prop, barber shop, 2086 Ogden Ave., Chicago, 111., says: “My back ached terribly and I had sharo, stabbing pains throughout my body. 1 kept getting worse, suffering from splitting headaches and dizzy spells, daring which I would nearly lose my balance. My eye* became so effected that I nearly went blind. I became dropsical and was so puffed up at night that when I took off my shoes, there were deep ridges around my ankles. I got so thin and efnaeiated that my friends hardly knew me. There was always a desire to pass the kidney secretions and I had to get up often at night. The secretions were scanty and scalding in passage and contained a large amount of stringy, white substances with blood. Finally I was laid up, helpless. The doctor did me no good and I gave up hope. When a friend urged me to take Doanfe Kidney Pills, I aid, and I had taken but a few doses when 1 felt something give away inside of me. The pain was terrible and shortly after, I passed five gravel stones, each the size of a bean. In three days I felt like a different'man. Six boxes oi Doan’s Kidney Pills made mo well. The cure has been permanent.”
