It was—it was—let me see—yes, it
was Father William, or William Fa

But it was one or the other.”
"But, Donald,” said his mother,
“there is no such name as Father Wil
liam or William Father in the Old

"Are you sure, mamma?”
"I certainly am, dear. I have read
it through several times. William is a
comparatively modern name. It isn’t

“Well, but—oh, I remember now!”

ELIHU ROOT, WHILE AT LUNCH
EON, FINDS MACKENZIE SMIL
ING RECOGNITION FROM
ANOTHER TABLE.
HELD LENGTHY CONFERENCE
Eaoh Carries His Years Lightly,
Though Each Has Done Lang and
Arduous Work for His
Government.
Hot Springs.— Two ex-premiers of
two great governments, worn and
tired from labors of state, met by
chance at dinner in a hotel here.
Llihu Root, former secretary of state,
and Mackenzie Bowell, ex-premier of
Canada, both of whom are here re
cuperating, happened in the dining
room of the Arlington hotel at noon.
Each was looking for a good luncheon
and saw little else at first. Then as
the edge began to leave the appetites,
the honorable ex-premier spotted the
not less honorable ex-secretary. A
smile of recognition lighted up his
face and when, a few moments later,
the soon-to-be-senator looked up,
there was a mutual bow and an ex
change of what was meant for “how
3y.”
The two men formed a striking pic
ture, gripping hands. The American
statesman’s face showed the lines of
care written by the burdens of a na
tion and the smile on the face of the
iistinguished Canadian could not hide
the lines left by the cares of the
Dominion. Both men are sprightly,
Mr. Root with his 60 years and former
Premier BoweLl with 75 odd. Since
tiis stay here the American has made
a. record as a mountain climber and,
while the Canadian statesman has not
risked the mountains yet, he seems
St. for a long road. Whether the two
will take strolls together could not
be learned last night. They met in
Mr. Root’s room and had a long chat.
Mackenzie Bowell was premier of
the Dominion of Canada from 1894 to
1896, has been minister of militia and
lefense minister and minister of cus
toms He is a leader of the Conser
vative party. During the visit of Mr.

sentative of the American government

er arrived in Hot Springs Sunday

THEY KNEW HOW TO WORK
BUT DON’T NEED TO WORK NOW
SO HARD.
The experience of the Bisser Bros,
in Western Canada is similar to that
reported to every agent of the Cana
dian Government, whose advertise
ment appears elsewhere:
“Wheatwyn, Sask., Nov. 6th, 1908.
“To the Commissioner of Immigra
tion, Winnipeg, Manitoba.—Dear Sir:
I, in company with my brother and
other relations, arrived in this coun
try in the spring of 1893. At the time
we got off the train at Wolseley, Sask.,
we had only a few dollars, not enough
to start farming on our own account,
so we were compelled to work out for
a considerable time in order to make
sufficient money to enable us to es
tablish ourselves. When we thought
we had enough money to start with, I
and my brother took up one quarter
section (160 acres) land each in the
Loon Creek district. In 1900 we moved
on our homesteads with one team of
horses and one walking plow. While
I was engaged with the work in the
Held, my brother built a shack and
barn of logs, which we have hauled
during the time we were not able to
work in the field. We were certainly
working very hard, but I am glad to
say that we made our fortune in this
country. To-day we do not need to
work so hard as we used to, as we
have three men hired steady for
whom we pay $30.00 to $40.00 a month,
besides board and lodging during the
summer time! I am also glad to tell
you that to-day we are owners of a
section and three-quarters of the best
land, with first class buildings thereon,
besides having all the necessary ma
chinery. We always do our own
threshing, for we have a 22 horse
power threshing outfit.
“Our success in farming in this
country also enabled us to get rid of a
number of horses of less value, and
instead we bought 10 pure-bred mares,
representing a value in the neighbor
hood of $5,000.
“Regarding raising grain, which is
the main factor in our district, I am
proud to say that we have always
had good success. We have raised
wheat as high as 35 bushels to the
acre; and this year, although we suf
fered from lack of sufficient rain, our
wheat went 27 bushels to the acre,
and we had 900 acres in crop. We
have broken this year about 100 acres
new land, and by next year we will
have about 1,110 acres in crop. For
one carload of wheat which we have
shipped a few weeks ago we got a
price of 97 cents per bushel, and it
graded as No. 2 Northern, although we
have a quantity of wheat which will
surely go as No. 1 Northern. During
the six years we have been farming
for ourselves we have never had one
frost around here, so that we always
had a good crop.
“I, for myself, feel compelled to say
that our Great West is the land where
a person w'ho is willing to work and
trun his hands to anything, can make
a fortune, and a comfortable living.
Our country is a thoroughly free coun
try, and we have a good Government;
and, as long as wre have good crops,
and a good Government, we are satis
fied, and I think that is all we want.
“Yours very truly,
“LORENS BISSER,

RAW FURS—PROFITS FOR
COUNTRY BOYS.
This is the time of the year when
the average country boy not only gets
a great amount of sport and pleasure
out. of fur trapping, hut considerable
profit and pocket money. Raw Furs
in recent years have brought remark
ably good prices. Fashion has or
dained that every lady must wear
furs, consequently the demand has in
creased. Prices of furs are higher
than they were last season. M. Sabel
& Sons, Louisville, Ky., make a spe
cialty of Raw Furs, and a visit to
their fur rooms is an interesting sight,
for here can he found furs from every
section of the United States. They re

country in answer to their weekly
price list, which they issue every Fri- j
day. This price list is furnished the

The Tactful Suitor.
A youth in Trenton, whose devotion
to the young woman of his choice has
encountered many obstacles during
his long courtship, recently sought
her out with this apparently encourag
ing statement:
"I think it's all right now, Alice. I
managed to get access to your father
the other day, and while he wouldn’t
exactly give his consent I rather
imagine I’ve made some headway. He i
borrowed $40 of me. Surely he can’t
stand me off much longer after that!”
The young woman sighed. “Yes,
I've heard about it,” she said, “and I
think you've made an awful mess of
it. Father mentioned the $40 and re
marked that I’d better give you up—
you were too easy.”—Harper’s Weekly.
