CANADIAN ANNEXATION TALK.
According to the Montreal
"Witness, which declares itself an
opponent of annexation, there is
some annexation sentiment in
Canada. It linds that that region
is becoming “gradually Ameri
canized,” though a large majority
of its people are still against
political union. The Americaniz
ation is being brought about, so
it intimates, by the syndicate
matter published in the Canadi
an papers, which is all made up
in the United States, and by
the United States plays, which
are imported into Canada after
they grow stale on this side of
the line. “A more powerful en
gine of assimilation than this,” it
remarks, “could hardly lx> de
vised.”
The Montreal paper misses
some other important influences
which are tending to “American
ize” Canada. Vast numbers of
Canadians come to the United
States every year to better their
condition, and most of them stay
here. Some of those who drift
back to Canada remain only a
short time, and then come to this
j country to reside permanently.
| These immigrants have strong
influence on all their acquaintan
! ces in Canada—on those whom
they leave behind as well as on
: those whom they attract to this
country. The United States, as
shown by the census statistics,
i is growing twice as fast in pop
1 ulation as Canada, which means
i that the gap between the two
countries is broadening rapidly,
i These influences are bound to
have an etiect on Canada in the
direction of annexation. The
few persons whom the Canadian
papers now find in their region
favorable to political union with
' this country will steadily in
crease. Some day they will be
in the majority. Canada is gra
I vitating into union with the Uni
; ted States just as surely as Cuba
is, though the annexation in the
I Canadian case is not likely to
! come so soon’as in the other in
stance. Tlvh-' ;s a law of political
1 gravitation which the party
| leaders and party newspapers of
' Canada of to day may fight, but
they cannot suspend. Annexa
tion may come within the next
i twenty-five years, but a quarter

of a century is a short time in
the life of a people. Many
thousands of Canadians are solv

for themselves every year by
coming here to reside, but the
day is not far remote when they

selves without taking this jour

A MISSOURI MAN.
A man over in Missouri, had
live daughters, four of them mar
ried to men named Short, Brown,
Poor and Little. The fifth was
united last week to a man named
Hog. At the wedding supper
the old gentleman said to the
guests: I have taken great pains
to educate my daughters that they
might act well their part in life
and do honor to my family. I now
find that all my pains, cares and
expectations have come at last to
nothing but a Poor, Little, Short,
Brown, Hog.

WORTH OF A NOD.

ing concern in a public sale stable
one day this week a farmer who;
had come to the city in the hope
of picking up some equine bar
gains admitted unreservedly at
the end of the day’s business
that the metropolitan “hoss fel
lers” were to much for him. j
“This here head noddin at $5 a
nod,” he explained to a group
that was gazing sympathetically
at the time-tarnished bargain the
! farmer held by a halter, “is t’

Mr. Francis Little of Benton
Harbor, Midi., is over eighty
years of age. Since 1865 he has
been troubled more or less with
indigestion and constipation and
has tried almost everything in
use for those ailments. Last Au
