THOSE AMERICANS IN CANADA.
During the last six or seven years
about 100.000 of America’s finest
young farmers, the majority of
them from Iowa, Nebraska and
other states in that section, went
to Western Canada to take up
homesteads. N">w thousands of
them are breaking moving records
to get back to their old homes in
the United States. They are flee
ing from threatened conscription.
It required the war in Europe to
make these Americans see where
they had made a mistake. They
have no desire to leave their fami
lies in Ganada and go to the scene
of the conflict as soldiers. They
have no more interest in the war
than they had when they lived in
their native land, and they are
coming back. It is safe to assume
that few of them will ever roam
again.
Many of the western states of
fer more advantages than Canada,
but distance lent enchantment and
Canana’s luring advertisements
took away many of this country’s
best farmers. It is to be hoped
that many of them will now turn
their attention to the great South
west, and especially to Oklahoma,
where the inducements are so
much better than anything Canada
has to offer. It is here that they j
will find peace and plenty and the I
prosperity for which they are look-!
ing.—Oklahoman.

SOLOMON ON ENGLISH BENCH
Judge Suggested That Half-Starved
Baer Be Allowed to Eat
Lame Pony.
A showman named Viso Markinko
vitch, belonging to a band of Serbian
gypsies, was charged the other day
at West London with ill treating a
brown bear and a pony.
Inspector Brockhouse said the bear
was tied by the nose and neck to a
van, and fell down when its chain
was undone. It was in a neglected
condition, and when offered some
pieces of bread “simply took them
like pills,” bolting the food ravenous
ly. The pony, which was also tied to
the van, was lame. Both animals
were being dragged along.
The prisoner, through an interpret
er, declared he was ill, and if a doctor
would certify him well he would be
willing to go to prison for twenty
years.
A veterinary surgeon said the bear
wanted feeding up, but it was cruelty
to allow the pony to live.
“Then it would be better if the bear
ate the pony,” the Judge said, “for the
bear would then be fed and the pony
would be out of its misery. I under
stand that these wild and carnivorous
animals have to be kept half starved
or they become dangerous?"
“That is so," said the witness, “but
not so much as in this case."
A remand was granted, not to en
able the bear to eat the pony, but to
allow the prisoner to engage an attor
ney.—London Chronicle.

Influenza
“Granry” Cianlerlain
“ No one who has not had Influenza can realize the suffering
it causes or how it defies treatment. I know of nothing that will
give such prompt relief as Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, for
when it is taken the pain in the chest disappears, the fever sub
sides and the whole body becomes more comfortable.
Then again, the after effedts of Influenza are often even more
distressing than the disease itself, but they can be avoided if
you use
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
Though the greatest danger from this disease is Pneumonia,
I have never known a single case of Influenza to result in it when
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy was freely given. The persistent
cough that frequently follows Influenza can be relieved by
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, and should not be allov/ed to
run on until it becomes troublesome.”

is a real bargain because it is sold at a 'popular
price; because it gives you the kind of sewing
you delight in; because it will turn out the work
quickly and thoroughly and give you a life time

will enable you to do things which can’t be done
on any other machine; because it will please you

I v AT THE OWL
:•: *
By SHERWOOD GRANT.
Winnie stepped out on the broad,
old-fashioned porch and looked at the
house that was to bring them all
plenty of ready cash, if not a fortune.
It was all they had left that seemed
tangible. They had been left to the
care of an uncle after their parents'
death, and only the house up at Med
bury remained after the passing of
Uncle George.
Georgia, named for her uncle hope- |
fully, had fixed on the solution. They J
were on the post road. They would
turn the old house into the coziest of I
tearooms, a sort of inn of happiness,
and, since an old owl appeared to be
its sole tenant, they caught the bird,
stuffed it after it had given up the
ghost, and bestowed its name and
symbol on the new venture for luck.
.“I think I hear a car.” Winnie’s !
I head was raised in expectancy.
The car came into view, turned into
; the drive under the two big elms and '
! drew up before the porch steps. Two
young men sprang out. They seemed
j worried and excited.
“How do you do, ladies?” one said,
raising his cap. “We've had an acci
dent. Would it be possible for us to .
get shelter here and some sort of med- j
ieal help?”
Alice rose to the emergency at once.
“Bring your friend right in,” she
called, and led the way into the sit
ting room across the hall, where it
was quiet.
“We were making up time on that
last stretch of road,” explained Madi
son King, the car's owner. “My friends
are visiting me over at King's Rest,
my mother’s place. We struck a fallen
tree the lightning must have hit, just
below the gully, and it tipped the car
nearly over and flung Tom out. Could
I phone my mother, too, from here,
please ?”
“Well, of all things," ejaculated Win
nie, in a deep, cautious whisper out in
the kitchen. King’s Rest was the one
place of interest around Medbury.
Paul Lampton was the third in the
party. Georgia told the other girls
, he was a well-known writer. The doc
I tor rode over from the village and at
once began his examination of Tom
Bowen, a cousin of the Kings. Just
as he emerged with a favorable diag
nosis, Mrs. King’s handsome dark
blue limousine turned into the little
driveway. The Owl was very busy ap
parently.
■ “He can’t be moved for a week any
way, but he's all right,” tho doctor
said, briskly. “The girle will look
after him, 1 know, Mrs. King. I’ll send
a nurse.”
“I haven't been here in years," said
Mrs. King; "not since "berore niy mar
riage. Perhaps you do not know that
I was your mother's maid of honor at
her marriage here? I was very fond
of her. This one seems to have her
eyes and voice, but you have her man
ner.”
Georgia flushed happily, and Winnie
was all aglow.
‘‘Maybe we have, but I assure you,
Mrs. King, Alice has her sweet dispo
sition,” Georgia said radiantly.
It wa3 a wonderful week that fol
lowed. Tom recovered with suspicious
slowness, the nurse declared. He fair
ly luxuriated in his dainty meals and
the attention of the three hostesses.
Madison and Lampton rode over daily
with flowers and books, all manner
of things, supposedly for the Invalid,
but some way they remained out in
the sitting room for the girls to enjoy.
As soon as Ije was able to be moved
there came a check from his father
that the girls eyed doubtfully.
"I think,” said Winnie judiciously,
“that we should be altruistic in this.
He was our guest. Can't the Owl af
ford at rivate guest, girls?”
It appeared that the Owl could. The
check was returned with the sweetest
of notes, and Colonel liowen came
down in person from Boston to meet
the three Graces who disdained mere
pelf, as he put it. There ensued such
a series of motor parties arid visits up
at King’s Rest that the girls declared
the Owl would need a guardian if they
did not give up such frivolity and at
tend to business. Rut the autumn
days slipped away into the early win
ter and Mrs. King took them under
her wing completely. Madison and
Winnie found many errands back and
forth to attend to for her, and Tom
declared that he'd never get well un
less he could have Alice to keep an
eye on his diet.
Her sisters announced their engage- ,
ment almost in the same breath one
day up at King’s Rest, but Georgia
was oddly silent.
Lampton had departed for New
York the previous week. Somehow
the other girls felt that Georgia, tem
peramental, whimsical Georgia, had
lost her hold on romance.
One day the three girls were return
ing from King’s Rest. As they ap
proached the Owl tearoom they found
a man sitting on the steps reading a
newspaper.
"It’s Paul Lampton," cried Winnie.
‘Why, the idea!”
“Oh, Georgia,” whispered Alice, “1
almost hated our happiness when you
seemed left out, don’t you know,
dear?”
“You needn't,” laughed Georgia
'Tve felt guilty because Paul and I
went away one day, a month ago, and
were married. We’ve got to ask your
forgiveness.”
“Well. 1 thought the owl was Miner
va’s bi-d said '.Vinnie, "but it ap
pears *r> b" Cupid’s pet dove.”

Triumph fcr Great Composer.
When Handel’s “Messiah” was tint
performed in London, the audience
was exceedingly Etruck and affected
by the music in general; but when the
chorus struck up, “For the Lord Hod
omnipotent reigneth," they were so
transported that they all, including
the king, who was present, started up
and remained standing till the chorus
ended; and hence it became the fash
ion in England for the audience to
stand while that part of the composi
tion is performed.
