TRACY ENDS
American Emigration to Canada
LIFE
The recent large emigration from the
i United States to Canada has attracted
I a good deal of attention. It is noted
that in 1898 fewer than 10,000 Amer
icans crossed the border, while this year .
it is estimated that out of a total immi-
| gration into western Canada of 50,000
the United States contributes 30,000.

The people of Maryville, Mo., once had
trouble over a hog law. The city council
passed an ordinance prohibiting hogs
from running at large. Some of the
residents of the Fourth ward, which was
then familiarly known as " hog town,”
protested, and the question became an
issue in the city campaign. The republi
cans nominated Gus Romasser, a lead
ing merchant and society man, for alder
man from the “ bloody Fourth.” The
morning after the primaries a delegation
waited on him at his store, “ Gus,”
said the spokesman, “ we’ve come to

Commissioner of Pensions Ware said
that the legislation enacted by the last

10,000 new pensioners. The number of
pensioners on July 1 of this year was

of the roll for a number of years. Com
missioner Ware said that this growth
was accounted for by the constant new

“It’s strange,” said the observer, the
other day, “how so many people are
misnamed.”
The cause of this remark was occa

who passed down the street, says the

“You see that man. From his name
you would think he was destined to be
one of the most fortunate creatures
who ever drew a breath. Although his
name is Luck lie was certainly born
under the unluckiest star that ever

“I have noticed him,” continued the
observer, “from his childhood. When

school with his lessons correct but

such a minor detail as the cost of paper
for the package they have sent home.
A Baltimorean has recently compared
the weight of paper with the food sup
