THE HOME LIFE OF THE SETTLER WESTERN CANADA AFFORDS ALL THE COMFORTS AND MANY OF THE LUXURIES. A young lady es Wisconsin secured a certificate at the Milwaukee office of the Canadian Government, and on presenting this to the ticket agent ot the railway at the Canadian boundary linn she secured a ticket at a reduced rate which carried her to Edmonton, Alberta, from which point, about forty miles, she had friends. This was a couple of years ago, and the young lady is now married to one of the promising young farmers of the district. 9 In writing of her trip to the Milwaukee representatives of the Canadian Government she says: "I enjoyed my trip up here very much, and expect to go out to our homestead in the Pembina district next spring." To the housewife the information that she has "put up twelve quarts of raspberries” is important, as they “picked them themselves," and they might have picked ten times the quantity K they had required them, for there in no country where wild fruit grows in such abundance. The letter goes on to say, and this is interesting from a woman’s standpoint, "the country is very beautiful." Speaking of the friends with whom she went up to Hve, she says: “They certainly have a beautiful farm and house” —they had been there abput four years, also going from Wisconsin —“they have about twenty acres of oats and barley, five acres alfalfa, three acres potatoes and I don’t know how many of vegetables. I think they have about forty acres under cultivation altogether. They are now draining a slough which they will afterwards plow and put into fall wheat. They also have a large herd of cattle, and Mrs. C. has about 100 chickens. They make vn an average of 30 pounds of butter Ivery week. I never saw such grand (ream.” Now these people are enjoying life h Alberta; they have a splendid climate, excellent prospects, and are happy that they are part and parcel in the working out of the upbuilding of a new country, that will take its place amongst the progressive countries of the century. Numbers of letters that express satisfaction as extreme as the one quoted appear in literature sent out by the Canadian Government and which may be had on application to any of its agents.

Was Persuaded By Thackeray

, ■ i James W. Wallack Not Only Attended a Dinner Given by the Author, But Even Recited for the Guests. "A good many years ago George Wil-J Ham Curtis wrote tn one of his essays something about a dinner that , Thackeray gave at Delmonico's in' New York, shortly before his return to his home in England in 1855, after the completion of his second lecture tour in this country," said the late Parke Godwin, son-in-law of William Cullen Bryant, and one of Thackeray’s intimates when the novelist was in this country “Curtis did not tell the story exactly as the incident occurred, according to my recollection.” Mr Godwin con tinned “I was present at the dinner and I sat very near Thackeray, who of course, occupied the chair of the host He gave file dinner in acknowledgement of many courtesies of a similar kind which he had received and he therefore had at the table nearly all of the men prominent In professional or literary life In New York “1 saw a great deal of Thackeray when he was tn the United States up on his second lecturing tour He made the editorial rooms of the old Putnam's Magazine, of which Curtis and 1 were the editors, his headquarters He was almost always in high spirits I sometime thought of him as a great, overgrown boy* But I never saw him tn quite the exhuberance of spirit which he showed at this dinner "As we sat down to dinner. I remember Thackeray saying to us that there would be no speeches. He detested formal speechmaking, he said; that always threw a cloud over a feast But what he did like, he hinted with a whimsical, all-including smile, was a song, a story .a recitation —any thing that a guest could do informal ly f “A moment or two later, as I glanced about me. I saw that Thackeray had secured as a guest James W Wallack. the great actor and play wright. who had left Scotland for this country three years before Thackeray had told me previously that he was going to Invite Mr Wallack to the dinner, and tn reply 1 had said that be would be very lucky if Wai lack accepted the invitation Thackeray wanted to know why 1 felt that way. and 1 said that off the stage Wallack was known In New York as one of the quietest of men. was very shy, and almost always declined invitations to large dinners “As we were disposing of the good cheer that Thackeray had provided for

Odd Result Os An Election

ti Hon. William S. Grosbeck. Famous Cincinnati Lawyer. Received One Electoral College Vote for icePresident. The late William S Grosbeck of Cincinnati, who died about ten years ago. was esteemed at one time one of the ablest of the very brilliant mem bers of the bar who practiced in the states west of the Allegheny moun tains He probably ranks with the half-dozen greatest lawyers the west has ever provided Abraham Lincoln had the highest regard for Grosbeck’s abilities as a lawyer Edwin M Stanton was sometimes associated with him in important legal cases He was one of'the counsel associated with William M Evarts in the defense of Andrew Johnson in the imjseachment proceedings and he was later a mem ber of the international monetary com mission At the height of his fame rs was regarded as perhaps the finest example of- the classic school of oratory the west could furnish He also had the almost unique experience of having received one vote in the electoral college from an Ohio elector for vice-president of the United States The late Samuel S Cox of Ohio, bet ter known as “Sunset.” was a close personal friend of Mr Grosbeck “1 ventured to say to Mr Grosbeck when he returned to Cincinnati with national fame after the impeachment proceedings against President John <on were ended that I felt sure he would become some day a candidate foi the presidency and that I hoped to live long enough «to see him nomi nated and elected Mr Grosbeck smiled, not being displeased by my remark, and said that no longer did political parties nominate orators for ;he presidency and. furthermore, that if be had any capacity as a speaker it was not of tbe kind which would pqal to the masses ” ’ln spite of what you say.' I replied. ’1 have a prophetic intuition that yoa will be nominated for the presidency some time.’ ’ln reply he told me tnat he had always been convinced that there was a profound truth in the statemen’ made by Senator Leigh of Virginia in .be early days of the republic that the presidency was neither to be sought nor to be found. "Well, the incident passed ent es my mind until in the summer of 1873 rhcre arose than a great deal of dia-

« us, I found myself wondering what Thackeray would persuade Wallack to do when the time for coffee and cigars was come What he did do was to ask Wallack. with whom be had become tst friendly when Wallack was on < English stage, to tell a story Walk shyly shook his bead Then, 'ed Thackeray, would he not relate tie anecdote? Again Wallack shook his head. “Thackeray sat as If pondering for a second Then, of a sudden, he turned to his friend. “•Mr Wallack,’ he cried with boyish enthusiasm 'l’ll tell you what yon can do that’ll make every man’s heart throb with excitement and pleasure You can recite that great scene in the play “The Rent Day" which, as I have seen and beard you In the play upon the stage In London. I have thought was acting unsurpassed.’ “Everybody clinked the glasses at the suggestion. I was afraid for a moment that Mr. Wallack would again shake his head —he was, of course, in evening dress, so that the illusion which the dress of the part that Wallack took in the play produced, was

When Jay Gould Stood Pat

His Credit Having Been Attacked. He Displayed to a Group of Eminent Financiers Securities to the Amount of $52,000,000. The late Jay Gould was one of the most reticent of men Boasting was entirely foreign to his nature He was satisfied to let his achievements speak for themselves, and even when he was misrepresented, he maintained his reserve, scorning to make explanations He took great pride tn his business successes, but he was a man without a trace of vanity He was the last man in the world to make a vaunt of his power and resources. But there was one occasion when he showed his hand. It was on the 13th of March. 1882. He had then of his most brilliant successes — successes irom which be was known to have gained a colossal fortune; but. he had recently, also, embarked on new ventures of vast scope, and. as many professed to believe, of very doubtful Issue. He was working on the railroad deals In the West, from which he was to build up the Missouri Pacific system, and he was becoming interested in New York city elevated

jjf, 4 ? satisfaction certain liberal Re-' publicans over the ‘nomination of Hor ace Greeley for president by their party The dissatisfaction finally caused a convention of bolting liberals to be held, I think at I remember taking up the newspaper I one evening and reading that this bolting liberal Republican national convention had nominated William S Grosbeck of Cincinnati for president I immediately wrote a line to* him to this effect: ‘Congratulations; you see my prophetic intuitions were correct.’ “Mr. Grosbeck did ont take the nomination very seriously, but I think he was amazed and perhaps a little gratified at one curieus result of the election, which I presume is now almost entirely forgotten. When the result of tbe balloting in the electoral colleges was announced, it was dis covered that William S Grosbeck of Ohio had received one vote, not for president, but for vice-president, from Ohio I met him shortly afterward and told him that he had gone into history as the recipient of one vote for the His reply was: ’That is nearer to the presidency than 1 ever thought 1 should get.’ ” (Copyright. 1911. by E J Edwards.

lacking. But he arose, stepped from behind his chair a little nearer to Thackeray, and in a low but very clear voice began the lines of that scene. Almost instantly we forgot that Wallack was a private gentleman in evening dress, unsupported by any of the accessories of the theater — the wonderful spell which he was able to exert upon his audience tn the theater was with him then We were all enthralled, especially Thackeray. He sat half turned around In his chair, listening Intently. He did not move once during the entire recitation But when Wallack was done and had sat down, and while the entire room resounded with applause after the diners had got their breath. Thackeray rose and bowed to Wallack. and I think it j was the most graceful acknowledge- I ment that I ever saw one man pay another. “I said to Thackeray after the dinner that I felt sure he was the one man in the world who could have persuaded James W Wallack to enact his part In 'The Rent Day* while in evening dress and at a great dinner. I think Thackeray liked to hear me say that, for he seized my hand and gave it a warm grasp.” (Copyright. 1911. by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.)

railroads and telegraph lines, among other things. His enemies for some time had been circulating stories to the effect that he was "spread out very thin." and had been insinuating that if the truth were known it would be found that he owed more than he I owned Mr. Gould was entirely Indifferent, 1n a merely personal and sentimental sense, -to these stories But they be gan to affect his credit and hamper him in the conduct of his enterprises. That Is the only explanation of the extraordinary proceeding he resortef to on that 13th of March. 1882 Mr Gould Invited the late Russell Sage and several other eminent financiers to meet him in bls office on that day. When the gentlemen were disposed about the room. Mr. Gould gave a signal, at which several of his employes appeared carrying trunks. By his direction the men set the trunks down In the middle of the room and retired. “I have asked you gentlemen to come here.” Mr. Gould said, addressing his guests, “because I want you to Inspect the contents of these trunks I hope you can spare time to look at all of them, and see just' ’“hat I have here" Then he opened the trunks. They were full of securities—bonds and certificates of stock Kneeling on the floor before the trunks, Mr. Gould removed the bundles of securities and handed them to his guests who examined them tn turn They found that they were made out In Mr. Gould’s name, and were all good, and they verified an inventory of the whole lot. “You see.” said Mr Gould, when they bad examined all the contents of the trunks, “that there are securities here to the value of fifty-two million dollars. There are some more trunks In the other room They contain twenty millions more In securities. If you would like to examine them. I will have them brought In ” “1 think we have seen enough." said Mr Sage drily “We have been greatly Interested in looking at these securities. but I don’t think you ought to put yourself to any further trouble." Mr. Sage and bls companions silently and expressively withdrew. They did not publish from the housetops what they bad seen in Mr. Gould’s office Nevertheless, it became known within twenty-four hours that Jay Gould had shown his hand to a group of responsible financiers, and that When they saw it they realized that it wj, a full hand, for they had counted fifty-two millions of securities and been invited to count twenty millions more, which Mr Gould owned Mr Gould’s credit was never attacked after that.

ALL ARE FROM PARIS JUVENILE STYLES COPIES OF THE LEADERS OF FASHION. Clothes of the Small Maiden Are Cut According to the garments of Her Eiders—Designs for School Frocks. A mother wrote me: “Do give me some ideas for dresses for Httle girls, but send only American notions, for it seems to me the i French styles are too precocious.” American notions for little girls’ styles? Dear mother, and all other mothers, there are few, unless they are in the way of details. The clothes of our small maidens are cut to a great extent after the garments of ' their elders, and these in their best phases come straight from Paris. There is one difference, however, the French do not use as much material i as we do in a child’s garment. Nothing is made for future growth, little coats and gowns fitting to a T when I m i> \ WfW tMW first turned out The skirts of the French child’s frocks are also shorter, than the petticoats of a little maid of the same age in this country. But. all things said and done, our best juvenile fashions are replicas of the things across the water, or else adaptations of the best styles imported for women. Our sketch presents a new version of the old Russian dress, the skirt and bodice here being shirred together over cords. The dress, which is of white ratine, fastens at the left with five white pearl buttons; the collar and cuffs are of white and black striped silk, and the guimpe is of fine embroidery lawn. This cut is very useful for the smaller girls, those between six and eight, who have not yet become entirely used to dressing themselves. The front fastening make it easy to put on and take off, and so if the lit-

BOXES OF BRONZE LEATHER Receptacles for Spools, Thimble and Needles That All Little Girls Will Appreciate. Extremely attractive in that particular way that girls very much like are the tiny little bronze leather boxes which are made to hold spools of thread, thimble and needles. These are meant for little mending kits to put in one’s bag when one is visiting for a few days. The boxes are very small, some of them containing only black silk and white thread, while others have a row of four or five spools. They have lids of the leather, and the edges of the box are bound with narrow satin ribbon or with silk or silk braid. The boxes are long and narrow and the lids are hinged to them by the ribbon binding, which is sewed together at the end. Some of the boxes are the same width through the length, and others are tapered at one end. The boxes which are meant for more than one ! «pool are usually the same width throughout. The width is just enough to admit a spool being put in side ways. When only one spool is to be put in the box it goes in lengthwise.

tle guinfpe were made to fasten down ■the front as well the child’s independence would be Many school frocks of cheap serge or flannel or fancy wool are made in this manner with contrasting collars and cuffs of wool. A gay plaid worsted frequently decks a little dress oi plain blue or brown serge, while a gown of velvet or velveteen in the same cut will have the collar and cuffs of a rich lace or else of cloth . and ratine. Concerning the home making of these little frocks, or any others of a smart sort, pray let me say a further word in praise of the French makers. ; They are most careful about matching trimmings to materials, they are original and dainty » in details, and everything turned out for children, however rich the textures, has an Infantile quality. Patterns are small, and trimmings put on the bebe or small way. Every garment for children is exquisitely finished, too, inside as out, . especially coats and frocks for high dress. Some beautiful little costumes seen recently were finished at the inside of the bodice fastening and at the hem turn of the skirts with a narrow, flat puffing of silk matching the gown color. The same puffing will be used to delightful advantage all round the inside edge of a fine coat, and there it sometimes contrasts with the lining. A capacity for infinite pains is the real secret of French taste in dress, j and nowhere is this dainty pati'encq more rewarding than In children’s garments. MARY DEAN. FANS ARE OF MEDIUM SIZE White and Pale Colors Favored and the Young Girls Like Those of Gauze. I this season are neither large nor small, but just the happy mean. The fan Is a Saint® “weapon.” and is seen chiefly in white and pale colors, sometimes in chiffon, hand-painted with delicate flowers and edged with a tiny border of Bruges lace. For the young girl there is a pure white gauze fan. It is inset with medallions of Honlton lace, or should she care for something "fluffy,” there is a beautiful fan composed of delicate white ostrich feather "frouds," j with mother of pearl “sticks” and long white cbenlle tassels pendant from them. Tassels can do no wrong | this season. On its way to the opera or theater, a resting place is needed for the fan, and a charming receptac’e is made In the manner described. It is fashioned of an oblong piece of brocade or embroidered fabric, chosen for its beautiful colors, and Is lined with silk, over which is superimposed ninon. A gold brocade, with a Du Barri rose design, would, for instance, have a pale mauve silk lining, veiled with i Du Barri ninon. Round the edges of tbe “flap” is applied narrow silk fringe, and a long cord is provided, with a long velvet tassel each side of the “flap.” Velvet Hats. Velvet has the field almost to itself in the late winter millinery modes and more and more models are made j to match the fur sets by having a j row of fur about the edge. Marabout is also liked in this style, and one ■ stora makes a specialty of such sets, I selling a black velvet hat, muff and ‘ small neckpiece, each edged with white or natural marabout.

and we give a sketch of an article of this description of a novel design, representing an Ivy-leaf. It is quite simple in shape, and can, without difficulty, be cut out from our Illustration. For the back and front two pieces of dark green velvet are used, and the veins of the leaves are worked in a paler green embroidery _ ■■ . - silk. Between these two pieces of velvet, and sewn in with a buttonhole stitching of the same silk, are two thick pieces of cloth, which for this purpose may be of any color, as they will not be visible, and merely serve to thicken the solder. In place of a stalk to the leaf a loop of green ribbon is attached, by which the holder may be hung upon a nail in the wall New Crepe. There is a new sheer cotton pebble crepe, in small cross \ checks with boucle threads that give a snowflake appearance.

Illustrating the Effect of Food. The remarkable adaptability of Grape-Nuts food to stomachs so disordered that they will reject everything else, is illustrated by the case of a woman in Racine, Wis. “Two years ago,” she says, “I was attacked by a stomach trouble so serious that for a long time I could not take much of any sort of food. Even the various kinds prescribed by the doctor produced most acute pain. “We then got some Grape-Nuts food, and you can imagine my surprise and delight when I found that I could eat it with a relish and without the slightest distress. “When the doctor heard of it he told me to take several email portions each day, because he feared I would grow tired of it as I had of all other food. “But to his surprise, (and that of jverybody else), I did not tire of Grape-Nuts, and became better day by day, till, after some weeks, my stomach entirely recovered and I was able to eat anything my appetite craved. “My nerves, which had become so weakened that I feared I w,ould become insane, were also restored by the Grape-Nuts food in connection with Postum which has become, our table beverage.
