CANADA’S CENSUS A THIRTY-TWO PER CENT INCREASE IN THE PAST TEN YEARS. That Canada has come rapidly to the front in the past ten years is amfiy shown in the results of the census recently made public. The population at the Dominion is now placed at which with outlying points to be heard from, may bring it up to TM millions as compared with 5,371,(15 in 1901. Though these figures are targe, they do not present a total as large as was expected but they do -show a greater increase of percentage ta population for the decade than any similar increase in the United States. The highest percentage ever reached by the Republic was 24%; the percentage of increase In Canada for the decade is'32%. Thus it will be seen that the provinces west of the lakes, with the great broad fertile acres ready for the sowing and immediate reaping of grain and the Valleys of British Columbia capable of producing trait with which to supply its neighboring provinces east of the mountains, have attracted numbers, which has exceeded the most optimistic of the expectations of ten years ago. Upon the prairies of the ten years i ago there was but a spare scattering of people; but today, no matter in which way you go, take any direction, and you find homes and farms and good ones too, occupied by the very best class of people in good sized settlements with plenty of room for five ©r six times as many more. The population of Alberta is set down at 372,*s >l9. as compared with 73,022 in 1901; Saskatchewan 453,50? as compared with 91,270 in 1901; Manitoba’s 454,691 compares well with its 255,211 in 1901; and so does that of British Columbia—362,7oß as against 178,657 in 1901; but in a territory as large as this a population of 1,643,000 is little more than discernible in point of numbers. The work through it has been great. Look at the towns that have ' been built up; its cities, Winnipeg with 135.000; Vancouver with upwards of 100,000; Calgary with 43,000; Edmonton, Retina, Saskatoon; Leth-1 bridge; Medicine Hat, Moosejaw, splendid cities —none better anywhere; well maintained and equipped. These have come with existence and been built as they have been built by | reason of the splendid agricultural country by which they are surrounded. The population is scarcely discernible. A population ten or twelve times that shown by the recent | census could be easily maintained in | even greater wealtti than that which maintains the present numbers. There Is certainly a wonderful future for Western Canada and that which goes to the development of the west will enrich the last. This is the growing time in Canada and what has been done in the past ten years is but a beginning. The next decade jrill « ebow a far greater advancement. In the meantime Canada is bidding welcome the progressive and industrious citizen. The invitation is a standing one. At the forthcoming land exposition in Chicago, Canada will have one off the best exhibits of farm products that has ever been made and it wil’ be well worth while inspecting it and getting information from those whe may be in charge.

BUILD FREE SCHOOL
Technical Institution to Be Erected in Chicago. Money Left by George M. Pullman Fourteen Years Ago Now Amounts to $2,400,000 —To Be Done With - Mature Deliberation. Chicago.—A campus of forty acres at the northeast corner of Indiana avenue and One Hundred and Eleventh street, in the town of Pullman, has been selected for the building of a technical‘’school with the $2,400,000 left by George M. Pullman, over fourteen years ago, according to the official statement made by the board of directors. Mr. Pullman’s original bequest was $1,200,000, but the account has doubled in the years since his death. He stipulated in his will that nothing be done without mature de-
FIND WILD MAN IN MONTANA He is as Fleet as Deer and Roams About Clad in Skins of Animals —Hides in Caves. Bozeman, Mont. —Fleet as a deer, dressed in the skins of animals and roaming the wood barefoot, a wild man has been discovered in the Middle Creek canyon, about twenty-five’ miles from this city. The man has been seen several times but all efforts to communicate with him or to learn his history have failed. C. L. Gregg, a forest ranger, came upon hifn fishing about two weeks ago and gave chaseThis led to the finding of a cabin supposed to be inhabited by the wild man. Gregg enlisted the assistance of George Flanders, Jr., and two other boys and the four visited the cabin next day. Just as they came in sight of It they saw the s»ime man disappear into the woods at the rear. The vicinity contains unexplored caves, and the strange hermit probably uses these as his hiding places. The party took occasion to examine the cabin and found a regular habitation. A hot fire was burning in the camp stove and fish were frying upon IL giving evidence that the man had just left On a board nailed up over the bed the name “Henry Nelson” was carved and this is taken to be the name of the strange man.

liberation, even it the carrying out of his bequest took many years. The founding of such a school within what he foresaw was to become one of the greatest industrial centers in the world, was the chief wish of Mr. Pullman’s heart. He often spoke of his desire to found a free school for instruction in the principles and practice of the mechanic arts, and thought no more fitting place could be had than Pullman. “it is my purpose to found, erect and endow, at Pullman, 111., in my lifetime, a free school of manual training for the benefit of the children of persons living in or employed at Pullman, and, in the accomplishment of that purpose, to expend at least $200,000 for lands and buildings and apparatus, and to provide a fund of $1,000,000 for the maintenance, management and endowment of such school," and requests his executors — Norman B. Ream and Robert T. Lin-
U. S. ARTISTS LEAD ABROAD

[ Philadelphia.—Just back after a four i months’ trip through the art centers > of Europe, his first in 18 years, Thoms as P. Anschutz, instructor of the life i class of the Academy of Fine Arts, > says that he was in Paris when the j “Mona Lisa” was stolen. i “But 1 didn’t take it,” he said. “1 ; can't imagine why any one else would, . either, for it can neither be sold nor - exhibited, and a painting Is not of 1 much use or pleasure stored away. “Whatever the object, however, it f has stirred custodians of other galr leries throughout Europe to redouble ) their vigilance and to guard more t carefully their art treasures. All visr Itors now are watched closely. The - worst feature of the whole affair is 1 that it may lead to a curtailment of s the privileges accorded to art students." a Speaking of American artists as compared with those of he e said: i “In landscape work American ari tists are getting rather more than r their share of glory. The American s landscape artists, in other words, are e quite in the lead, and no European group is quite equal to them. In portraiture and figure work our artists are also holding their own. i- “American artists are not, however, i as well represented in the permanent I- collections of European galleries as t they should be.

They seem to be losing the flavor ol antiquity. For instance, there were formerly parts of London where an artist could wander and could imagine much that is historical and full of ro mance; but now these spots are occupied by twentieth-century hotels and apartment houses, and the spirit of the place has fled. The art world, however, remains the same. It nevei changes." TRAINED BEES ROUT ROBBERS Come to Assistance of Minnesota Mas When He Is Attacked and Beaten by Thieves. Mamel, Minn.—According to Robert Schultz, the farmer attacked and beaten by two robbers the other day, a swarm of bees came to his assistance and routed his assailants. Schultz had several hives of well trained bees. In describing the attack he said: “I began to make a noise that 1 always use to call my bees, and thej began to swarm into the barn. Ont lighted on the back of one robbet and he ran out the door yelling , ’stung!* Other bees followed him . and some attacked the other robber 1 He had me on my back and was beat > ing me when the bees got busy ant > he ran out-the door and took to tht 1 woods.”
w WSIiL NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ACTS While Drinking Stolen Beer Lunatic Informs Policeman of His Legal Standing. Joseph H. Choate, the lawyer, said recently at a dinner in New York, apropos of the movement toward barring insanity as a defense for murder; “The insane, you know, are too prone to take advantage of their weaknesses. A lunatic, out walking ■with his keeper, saw a case of beer tn front of a grocery. He broke away, ran to the case, and opening a bottle, began to drink it down, at the same time, ramming with the other hand other bottles into his pocket, just as fast as he could. “ ‘Here, here,’ said a policeman, ‘this won’t do.’ “‘Go away,’ was the reply; ‘you can’t do anything to me. I’m a lunatic, and I’m not responsibe for my actions.’ ” Consult a Veterinarian. Champ Clark loves to tell how in the heat of a debate Congressman Johnson of Indiana called an Illinois representative a jackass. The expression was unparliamentary, and in retraction Johnson said: . “While I withdraw the unfortunate word, yet, Mr. Speaker, I must admit that the gentleman from Illinois is out of order.” “How am I out of order?” yelled the man from Illinois. “Probably a veterinary surgeon could tell you,” answered Johnson, and that was parliamentary enough to stay on the record.—Mack’s Monthly. The Natural Thing. “There,” cried Jonathan to a newly arrived Irishman, as he waved his hand in the direction of the horseshoe falls at Niagara: “There now, isn’t it wonderful?” “Wonderful? What’s wonderful abou< that?” ,r Why, to see all that water come thundering over those rocks.” “Faith, then, to tell ye the honest truth,” was the response, “Oi can’t see anything so wonderful about that. What is thir to prevint it from cornin’ over?”—Housekeeper. Wonderful Music. Sir Frederick Bridge, the. famous organist of Westminster abbey, tells a story of two ladies who were in the abbey just before the coronation. A vacuum cleaner was at work, making a great buzzing. One lady said to the other: “There’s the organ; Is it not splendid? It’s Sir Frederick.” The other lady said: “So it is; I thought it was Sir Walter, but he can’t play like that.”—-Tit-Bits.

Did you have a pleasant summer?’ You are simply compelled to say ‘Yes.’ If you don’t, he’ll scent a dark secret and insist on a long explanation of what the trouble was.” Rather Confusing.

STORY ON LORD KITCHENER Scion of Noble House, Who Had Joined Imperial Yeomanry as Troopef. Is Rebuked. Kitchener stories are very popular in London just now, and one which has recently come out is causing great amusement, according to the New York Sun. During a portion of the South African war Lord Kitchener had as an orderly a young scion of a noble housfc who had joined the imperial yeomanry as a trooper. He could not (juite un- | derstand that he was not on terms of perfect equality with the members of i the staff, and, having been summoned one morning to carry dispatches for 1 the commander-in-chlef, he | entered 1 the room with a jaunty air. ! “Did you want me, Kitchener?” he asked calmly, while the rest of the staff gasped for fear of what would happen next. Kitchener, however, merely looked at him with a quiet smile. “Qh, don’t call me Kitchener,” he remarked gently, “it’s so beastly formal. Call me Herbert!” The Moral Tommy Saw. “The persistency with which children in a fable some other moral than the one which it is intended that they shall see is often distressing,” remarks a Philadelphia instructor of the young. “I had recited to one little boy the story of the wolf and the lamb, and had followed it up with the remark: “And now you see. Tommy; that the lamb would not have been eaten by I the wolf if he had been good and sensible.” “Yes, I understand,” said Tommy. I “If the lamb had been good and sen- | sible, w - e should have had him to eat!” —Lippincott’s. WILLING TO DIE, BQT— I The Lady—Huh!

In time automobiles became so reasonable in price that almost anybody might afford one. Then the folk who had been wont to put on airs because they had a machine were at a loss.. And the folk who had been wont to put on more airs because their machine cost more than some other kind also were at a loss. Eventually, however, away was found out of the difficulty. Soon social standing vras determined by the amount of the salary paid to the chauffeur. —Judge. Intolerable. The Swiss Family Robinson has just returned to the main land. “I don’t see why you ever left it you were as rich as you say you were out there.” some one said.

Diplomacy. “I hope you will believe me when I ’ tell you that you are the only girl I ever loved.” “No. That I refuse to believe.” “Then you will believe me when 1 tell you that you are the prettiest girl I ever loved?” “Yes.

' LITTLE TALK DID THE WORK I Pastor, of Course, Had Only Good of Congregation at Heart, but He Got Monetary Results. At the end of the first six months of his pastorate, Rev. Amos Johnson had learned”the ways of his flock so thoroughly that he klßew exactly how tc deal with them. One Sunday the col- ■ lection was deplorably slender. The next week Mr. Johnson made a short and telling speech at the close of his sermon. “I don’t want any man to gib more dan his share, bredren,” he said gently, bending toward the congregation, “but we must al) gib according as the Lawd has biased and favored us, and according to what we rightly hab. “I say rightly hab, bredren,” he went I on. after a short pause, “because we don’t want any tainted money in de ! box. Squire James told me dat he’d | missed some chickens dis w-eek. Now | if any ob my pore benighted bredren I has fallen by de way in connection wid 1 dose chickens, let him stay , his hand from de box w 7 hen it comes to him. “Brudder Leroy, will you pass de [ box while I watch de signs and see if 1 dere’s anyone in de congregation dat I needs me to wrastle in prayer for 1 him.”—Youth’s Companion. Appetite Not a Necessity. ! Dr. John R. Murlln of New York, as- ; sistant processor of physiology at the I Cornell university medical college, in an article in the October number of I the Journal of the Outdoor Life, com- | pares the food we eat to the fuel us<-d i in furnishing steam and power for an sngine. In selecting our food he says ; that we should eat enough to furnish i energy for the day’s work, but that - much more than this is not needed. He holds that the appetite is not a ne•essity for good digestion.' “There is no fallacy of nutrition,” he says, "greater than that which supposes that a food cannot be digested and utilized ; without appetite.” Most of the food ' we eat, fully four-fifths, goes to supply 1 energy for our everyday tasks, while less than one-fifth goes to supply ! building material. Restored Courage. The southern lover was impetuous, i says the author of a recent book of reminiscences of eastern Virginia, entitled “Memory Day,” and the maiden was timid and unused to passionats proposals of marriage. “Oh, don’t!” she interrupted in a whisper. “You frighten me dreadfully.” Overcome by contrition, the young man humbly apologized for his fervor, and a painful silence ensued. The girl broke it at last. “Robert,” she began, with a hopeful smile. “I don’t think —I —shall —be so frightened this time.” Urgent- Necessity. A distinguished theologian was invited to make an address before a Sunday school. The divine spoke for over an hour and his remarks were oi too deep a character for the average juvenile mind to comprehend. At ths conclusion, the superintendent, according to custom, requested some one in the school to name an appropriate | hymn to sing. “Sing Revive Us Again,” shouted a - boy in the rear of" the room. —Life.
