HURT, CRUISE OR SPRAIH IT. I THE OLD-MONK-CURE RELIEVES FROM PAIN Prica 23c and 50c - j tm i IRRIGATION IN CANADA. Alberta Country Fast Coming to the Front. The Canadian Pacific Railway com pany Is now engaged in a great irriga tion work, just east of Calgary, that will eventually bring under water 1,600,000 acres of as fine land as there is in all of Canada. They have just thrown open to settlement the first block of 110,000 acres, which they are selling at from $15.00 to $25.00 per acre. In connection with this irri gated land they are selling non-irigable lands at from $12.00 to $15.00 per acre, which cannot be surpassed for grazing purposes, and affords a range where stock may graze throughout the entire year without shelter. , The future of Western Canada, and particularly the southern portion of Al berta province, la assured. Calgary, ite metropolis, a city ol 20,000 inhab itants, comoeed largely of Americans, is a live, up-to-date city. Its retail business la in the hands of bright, pro gressive business men, who handle enormous stocks. There are a number of jobbing houses located there, and a home market for stock is afforded by a large packng house. Along the line of the Canadian Pacific railway in South ern Alberta, there have been twenty elevators established the past year, to be followed by thirty mora next year, eo that there will be no shortage for the immense crops produced in this section.

It is however, in general appearance only that they compare with Allcock's, for thev are not only lacking in the best elements which liave made Allcuck's s j efficient, but are often harmful in their effects.

The Beat of Reference. The new servant had presented her references and the mistress read them over, declares a writer in Answers, with a doubtful eye. , "I am not quite satisfied with your references, Jane," she said.

Robert Scollan, 87 years old, of 65 Garden Street, Seneca Falls, N. Y., a fine sturdy old g e n 1 1 eman, who works in his own garden, gives thanks to Doa'n's Kidney Fills for his sound back and kidneys ; Mrs. Goetchious, his daughter, says: "Father had a se vere attack of kid ney trouble and lumbago, which caused him much suffering. He began taking Doan's Kidney Pills and was soon cured. We always keep them on hand. My husband was cured of bad pains in the back by taking only part of a box." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. An Expert Investigates It and Makes Flattering Report. There has been much adverse criti cism of the Spencer Seedless Apple, notably in the Rural New Yorker and some of its satellites. The opinion of a recognized horticulturist, who has made a thorough examination of the apple, being allowed free range in the orchard where they are grown, should be valuable to those who are thinking of planting these trees, as well as to those who by reason of the criticisms have been deterred from purchasing. A company was recently organized in Canada to handle the Spencer Seedless Apple trees, but the adverse 'criticisms alarmed the organizers, and they re fused to proceed further with the nego tiations until they could have the prop osition thoroughly examined by an ex perienced horticulturist of reputation of their own selection. This was readily assented to, and as a result the Hon. John Dryden, who for more than twen ty years was minister of agriculture for the province of Ontario, was selected to examine and report on this apple. , The Hon John Dryden's name is a household word in Canada and Great Britain, and his reputation is Buch as will carry great weight wherever he is known. His report is most flattering and an unqualified endorsement of the apple. A copy of it is sent free upon applicatroti to the Spencer Seedless Apple Company, Everett, Washington.

When this life stream is flowing through the system ia a state of purity and richness we are assured of perfect and uninterrupted health; .Lecause pure blood ia nature's safe-guara against disease. When, however. the body is led on weak, impure or polluted blood, the system is deprived of -its strength, disease germs collect, and the trouble is manifested in various iways. Pustular eruptions, pimples, rashes and the different skin affections asbow that the blood is in a feverish and diseased condition as a result of too snuch acid or the presence of some irritating humor. Sores and Ulcers are the result of morbid, unhealthy matter in the blood, and Rheumatism, Ca tarrh, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison etc., are all deep-seated blood disorders that win continue to grow worse as long as the poison remains, These impurities and poisons find their way into the blood in various ways, Often a sluggish, inactive condition of the system, and torpid state of the avenues of bodily waste, leaves tne refuse and waste matters to sour and form uric and other acids, which are taken up by the blood and distributed throughout the circulation. Coming ia contact with contagious diseases is another cause for the poisoning of the blood ; we also breathe the germs and snicrobes of Malaria into our lungs, and when these get into the blood in sufficient quantity it becomes a carrier of disease instead of health. Some iwe so unfortunate as to inherit bad blood, perhaps the dregs of some old constitutional disease of ancestors is handed down to them and they are constantly annoyed and troubled with it.

John I've worked in the field all day. a-plow- ing the stony streak; . I've scolded my team till I'm hoarse, and tramped till my legs are weak. . I I've choked a dozen swears' so as not to tell Jane fibs, I When the plow point struck a stone and the handles punched my ribs. I've put my team in the barn and rubbed their sweaty coats; I've fed 'em a heap of hay and half a bushel of oats. And to see the way they eat makes me like eating feel, And Jane won't say to-night I don't make out a meal. . Well said, the door is locked out here; She's left the key Under the step in a place only known to Jane and me. I wonder who's dying or dead that she's hustled off pell-mell; ' Here on the table is a note probably this will tell. Good God, my wife is gone t My wife has gone astray ; , The letter it reads, "Good-by, for I am going away. I've lived with you six months, John, and so far I've been true, But I'm going away to-day with a hand somer man than you." A handsomer man than me why, that am t much to say ; There's handsomer men than me go past here every day ; There's handsomer men than me I ain't ! of the handsome kind But a loviner man than I was I'll vow she'll never find. ' . Curse berl Curse her, I say, and give my curses wings ; May the words of love I've spoke be changed to scorpion stings. Oh, she filled my heart with joy; she emptied my heart of doubt, And now with the scratch of a pen she lets my heart blood out Curse her ! Curse her, say I, she'll rue this day; , She'll some time learn that hate la a game that two can play. And long before she dies Bhe'll grieve she was ever born. And I'll plow her grave with hate and seed it down to scorn ; And when her face grows pale and when ' her eyes grow dim, And when he Ib tired of her and she Is tired of him, She'll do what she ought to have done she'll coolly count the cost Then she'll see things clear, Bhe'll know what she has lost, And thoughts that are now asleep will wake up in her mind, And she'll mourn and cry for what she has left behind. And maybe she'll sometimes .think of me, of me, but no, I've blotted her out of my heart and I'll not have it so ! And yet there was something or other she bad That sort of fastened a man to her, and she wasn t entirely bad, And she loved me a little, I think, al though it didn't last; But I mustn't think of these things I've buried them with the past. I'll take my hard words back, not make a bad matter worse ; She'll have trouble enough, she shall not have my curse. But I'll live a life so square, and I well know that I can ; She always will sorry be she went with that handsomer man. Ah, here is her kitchen dress ; it makes my poor eyes blur; It seems when I look at it as if 'twere holding her ; And there's her week day shoes and there's her week day hat. And yonder is her wedding gown I won der she didn t take that Twas only this morning she came and called me her dearest dear, And said I was making for her a regular paradise here. 0 God, if you want a man to sense the pangs of hell, Before you pitch him in just keep him in heaven a spell. I'll worship no woman again, but I guess I'll learn to pray And kneel as you used to kneel before you ran away. And if I thought I could bring my words on heaven to bear, f I thought I had some little influence there, would pray if only it could be so That I might be as happy and gay as I was half an hour ago. Jane Why, John, what a litter here you've thrown things all around. Come, what's the matter, now, and what have you lost or found? And here's my father here waitng for supper, too ; I've been riding out with him he's that handsomer man than you. Ha, ha, ha ! Come, pa, take a seat while I put the kettle on And get things ready for tea and kiss my dear old John. Why, John( you look so strange come, what has crossed your track 7 was only Joking, you know ; I'm willing to take it back. John Well, if this isn't a joke with rather a bitter cream, It seems as if I'd awoke from a mighty tickiisn aream ; And I think she smells a rat ; she looks at me so queer. Good Lord, I hope she don't ; I hope she didn t hear. Twaa one of her practical drives; she thought I'd understand. Before I break sod again I'll get the lay oi tno land.
