OFFICIAL INVITATION TO AMERICANS HOW ROBERT ROGERS, MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR, IN WINNIPEG' ADDRESS, ISSUES WELCOME OF AMERICANS TO WESTERN CANADA. During the course of a reply to an address presented to Hon. Robert Rogers, the newly appointed Minister of the Interior of Canada at a banquet given at Winnipeg in his honor that gentleman spoke on immigration. The tone of his remarks was that helntended to pursue an aggressive and forward policy in the matter of immigration. In part, he said: “The most important branch perhaps of that department (Interior) is that of immigration. “If there is anything more than another we want here it is a greater population, and it shall be my duty to present to the people in all parts of the world where desirable emigrants are to be found the advantages and the great possibilities of this country. We have received in the past a reasonably large immigration from south of the international boundary, and in this connection let me say just a word for our American cousins who have found happy homes amongst us, and those whom we hope to welcome in greater numbers in the years to come. There are hundreds of thousands of them in our prairie provinces, happy in the enjoyment of a freedom as great as they ever knew, and all contributing in a material way towards the development of Canada. We are not blind to their value as settlers. They come better equipped with scientific farming knowledge than most of our emigrants, and constitute without doubt the wealthiest class of emigrants any new country has ever known. As head of the immigration departrpent it will be my privilege to offer them a welcome hearty and sincere, and to 60 contribute to their welfare that under the protecting folds of the Union Jack they will enjoy as great a degree of liberty and happiness as under the Stars and Stripes. The Borden government cherishes nothing but the kindliest feelings for the people of the great republic to the south, and will do all in its power to increase the bonds of kinship and neighborly good feeling that has so long existed. (Hear, hear.) “While we adopt a vigorous emigration policy in that country, we will also adopt the same vigorous policy in other parts of the world. We will go to England, Ireland and Scotland, and every other country irrespective of race, creed or nationality, where we can find suitable and desirable emigrants for this great country. I think much good work can be done in those countries, and especially perhaps at the present time in England, Ireland and Scotland. Now, then, it will be my duty to stir up that policy in the most vigorous manner possible.” What Brought Him. Governor Foss of Massachusetts tells of a clergyman who was visiting a state prison, when he came across a prisoner whose features were familiar to him. “What brought you here, my poor fellow?” he asked. “You married me to a new woman a little while ago, sir," the prisoner replied. with a sigh. “Ah, I see," said the parson:/‘and she was domineering and extravagant, and she drove you to desperate courses, eh?" “No,” said the “my old woman turned up " DOES YOUR BACK ACHE? Backache is usually kidney acha. There is only one way to remove the pain. You must reach the cause—the kidneys. No better kidney remedy

exists than Doan’s Kidney Pills. Mrs. John A. Link, 122 E. Terry St., Bucyrus, 0., says: “I was so terribly afflicted with kidney complaint, I could not leave my bed. I was attended by several doctors but they all

DORINEand a DIAMOND <By HARMONY WELLER

(Copyright, wn. By Associated Literary PrauQ Dorine’s hand strayed idly among the sweet-smelling balsam needles. “These pine needles have been here a whole year—it seems a long time," she said and raised her demure eyes to her companion’s frowning visage. “Interminable!” Jimmy Rogers glowered off to the big mountains surrounding them, and then back to the beautiful face beside him. “Doreen, I have waited just three hundred and sixty-five days for an answer. Today is must be either yes or no. It is a very simple ” Dorine shook her head slowly and a little wistfully. “Np, it is not simple.” She rubbed her hand back and forth under the padding of balsam needles. “Sometimes I am sure I love you, and sometimes I am equally sure I do not.” Her idle fingers had encountered something hoop-like and she slipped the third finger through it before bringing it to observation. “How perfectly funny! I have found a ring among these needles! It seems almost as if an .unknown man had engaged me to him!” Doreen laughed and held out the ring for inspection. Jimmy Rogers looked out from the depths of his globm, then brought himself to a sitting posture. He so far forgot his misery as to speak with a stirring of excitement. “By Jove, Dorry!'* That looks like the real thing! Let’s see?” He blew the dust and ,dirt of perhaps a year’s accumulation from about the great stone that was deeply imbedded in its clutch of heavy gold. “That stone is worth some few hundred, at least!” “Really, Jimmy! Oh, dear, then I will have to advertise for the missing man, won’t I?” Dorine’s eyes were sparkling, and her cheeks were flushed. It was the first time she had found anything “valuable in her life. “It is a beautiful diamond, isn’t it?” Oh, Jimmy, I would love to have it reset, for myself.” She sighed. “Why don’t you? The duffer who lost it probably has a dozen or so.” “Are there any initials? There are? What a shame!” Dorry laughed \ mischievously. “I hoped there would be no definite clew.** “Yes, it looks as if ‘J. G.’ would get his ring back,” said Rogers. Then C ? ißilwk J “Sometimes I Am Sure I Love You.” returning to the original subject, “And my answer?” “I am afraid it is no, now, Jimmy. I feel somehotv that if I had not found this ring, it would have been yes.” “That doesn’t do me any good,” remarked Rogers, and led the way slowly back to the Mountain Hotel. An unusual thrill of light happiness ran through Dorine’s veins, but the man looked ahead with gloomy eyes and saw nothing save shadows. Returning to New York, Dorine’s first act was to have an advertisement inserted in the Lost and Found columns of the newspapers. It read merely: “Found, a ring. Initials, ‘J. G.’” Dorine prided herself on the conservative line. She could not well be troubled with persons trying to claim the ring. Gradually as the days wore on a of disappointment filtered through her thoughts. In the dim recess of her brain she had counted on the claimant; he was to be big and broad and blonde. With shadowy eyes Dorine let go the romance she had hugged close in her innermost thoughts, and went to the jeweler to have the great diamond set to her liking. She watched the jeweler examine the ring; then his keen eyes shot up at her. Rage boiled within her, and the hot color flamed in her cheeks. Suspicion lurked in the man’s eyes. Dorine would have fled from the shop had not her sense of right come to the rescue. “Unusually beautiful stone,” remarked the man suavely. “Very.”

“I ar» interested,” continued the jeweler. I ask where so fine a stone came from?” “Really, I cannot remember.” Dorine had intended to state fully the story of the ring. Now with the white heat rising within her, she knew that she would fabricate to the limit of her ability rather than satisfy this suspicious pers'on. He continued to examine the ring, and Dorine felt that lie was sparring for time in which to detain her. She looked about for another clerk, and her eyes encountered a man, big and broad and blonde, who had swung through the door. She watched him approach and heard him address the jeweler, who was still absorbed in the ring. “Are you busy, Griggs?” The man behind the counter looked up and a smile broadened his mouth With a muttered, “Excuse me,” to Dorine, he stepped aside and conversed in Ipw tones with the blonde man. The girl, raging inwardly, knew that she was the subject of discussion and she strove to retain a calm exterior. The two men drew near. The jeweler spoke. “This gentleman. Mr. Graham, Mr. John Graham, is interested In diamond mines. He asks to be allowed to see this unusual stone.” Dorine looked up startled, and watched a dull color creep up over the blonde man’s face. He hesitated as if he would have drawn back, but her low-voiced, “Certainly," compelled him to take the ring. “The young lady has refused to tell me where she got the ” “ I deny your right to question me!” Dorine’s cheeks were scarlet, and she flashed an angry glance at each of the men. “Mr. Graham had a ring identical with that one stolen ” A quick gesture from the blonde man stopped further words. “I have no reason to suppose that ‘J. G.’ stands for John Graham!" Doreen flashed quickly. “I happen to have engraved and set this particularly ” Graham’s voice took on sudden authority. “Griggs, please be so good as to drop the subject, and set the stone as Miss —this lady desires.” Dorine again glanced up. Her eyes held a hint of tears. The strain had been great. Graham spoke rapidly, in low, soothing tones. “I am deeply sorry this thing has happened. I lost a ring, like the one you have, up near Chateaugay lake in the Adirondacks.” “And I found it.” Dorine gazed frankly up into the big man’s eyes, and watched the light dawn there. “I had an advertisement in all the papers, but you failed to appear.” The blonde man turned again to the jeweler. “Did you take the measurement of the finger?” He motioned Dorine to hold out her hand. She drew back. “It is not my ring,” she said. “No one else will ever wear it,” Graham told her, and Dorine accepted the coming of her big, broad, blonde claimant. Emerson Not a Shoemaker. One of the wittiest members of the local bar is Paschal H. Coggins. Be sides being a lawyer and a writer of law books, he takes an active interest in questions pertaining to the Unitarian denomination. At a dinner of his Unitarian brethren the other evening a speaker was telling how the philosophy of Emerson, who was himself at one time a Unitarian clergyman, was becoming more and more a powerful force in the religion of all Protestants, and he went on to say that Emerson is now more highly regarded by Unitarians thaifeever before. “In fact,” some persons,” said the speaker, “think we worship Emerson. They never heard of him before, and think'that he is the object which al! Unitarians worship.” “Except those,” interrupted Mr. Coggins, “who think he is the man who makes the shoe of that name.”— Philadelphia Times. What the Policemen Are For. There are a great many policemen in the streets of the City of Mexico,‘or the government considers it desirable to know all that is going on, and at night there is one at every corner. Each carries a lantern, which is generally placed in the middle of the intersecting streets. There are only two uses for the lantern; first, to let she thieves know where the guardian of the law is, and, second, as the policeman is generally sitting on the pavement, leaning against one of the houses asleep, it enables the tourist to find him and wake him up and make him tell where the touristy’ hotel is.—E.

Boldt, the hotel man, was talking in Philadelphia about the hotels of Switzerland. “They are good,” said Mr. Boldt. *At the price they are remarkably good. The Swiss are a nation of hotel keepers. “The Alps, you know, draw all the world to Switzerland, and the Switzer who wants to become a millionaire goes into the hotel business as an American would go into steel or sugar.

A vote had been taken, and In the Intense silence preceding the epoch-making wrdict of the tellers a wag shouted ‘Waiter!’ “Instantly the whole assembly rose as one man and answered, ‘Yes, sir.’ ” Not Saving Them. Three men, one a German, were smoking together and talking over the topics of the times. An odor not of cigars detracted somewhat from the interest in the conversation and soon became almost unbearable. The German apparently did not mind it, but the other two men began looking mround for the cause of the odor, when one of them discovered that it came from the burning cigar band which their German friend had left in his cigar. “Excuse me, Heinrich,” he said, “your cigar band is burning.” "Ach, dank you, olt man,” the German replied, Tm net saving dem.”-— Housekeeper.

COW MIXES IN A GOLF GAME Player Drives Ball With Great Force Into Mouth of the Animal and She Carries It Off. Here is a golf story about a witty judge. He was playing one day with a friend, who was noted for making long drives. This man found a cow in his p?th, but, nothing daunted by the obstacle, drove his ball with great force in the direction he wanted it to go. The ball landed in the cow’s mouth. Straightway the judge’s friend chased the cow. The startled animal turned tail and ran, still carrying the ball. Her pursuer began belaboring her with his club as the pair went racing over the links. Finally the cow, on reaching a putting green, dropped the ball. It landed in a good position and the golfer holed out in one stroke. The judge followed in leisurely fashion, and made it in eight strokes, claiming the hole. “But I made it in two!" exclaimed his friend. “Two nothing,” said the judge. “You mean thirty-two. I was watching you, and every time you hit the cow counts a stroke.” Favorite Fiction. “Weather forecast.” “Choice Literature for Holiday Reading.” • “You’re the Only Man That’s Complaining of a Cold Radiator, Sir; Tbfere’s a Full Pressure of Steam On.” “I Shall Be Delighted to Contribute Something to Your Charity Fund, Mrs. Leeder.” “Dear Sir: We sincerely Regret That We Cannot Use the Enclosed Manuscript.” IN NO PARTICULAR HURRY. ?■ ’-dr:' Doctor—What can I do for you, sir?
