We firmly disbelieve in farmer, that

poorer every year; in starving cattle;
in farmer's boyo turning into olerke and

The Salvation Army plans to bring
some 26,000 British immigrants. to Can-
ada next year. Nearly one-half of that
number it proposes to settle in Ontario.
In the season past something over 15,000
were brought out, and about 7,000 Locat-

English department of emigration and

MUCH CONCERN FELT.
Ordinary Methodis for Treatment
Catarrh Prove Unsueeessful.
A DREAM.
[John Boyle O'Reilly.]
There are times when a dream delicfoua
Steals into a music hour.
Like a face with lave esprioione
Tbat peeps from a woodland bower;
And one dear scene coulee changeless,
A. wooded bill and a river,
A deep, cool bend, where the lilies end,
And the elm, tree ehedowe quiver,
And I lie on the brink there dreaming
That the life I live is a dream,
That the real life is but the seeming,
And the true is the sun.flecked stream;
Beneath me the perch and the beaver nail
by,
Ia the dim, eool depths of the river;
The struggling Sy breaks the mirrored
sky,
And the elm tree shadows quiver.
Recent statistics showing an increase
in oatarrh have shaken the confidence of
medical men in the usual preeoriptions to
safeguard human health from the ravages
of this disease.
When etomaoh dosing proved ineffec-
tive, it was natural to look for some other
treatment, and it is believed that in Hyo -
mei an absolute care for all catarrhal
troubles has at last been found. Breath-
ed through a neat pooket inhaler, its
healing medication reaches every spot
where there are catarrhal germs, destroys
them, prevents their future, growth, and
sootbes the irritated mucous membrane
so that relief is felt almost instantly,
while lasting cure is practically sure to
follow.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
$1.00, and is sold by Walton MoEibbon
under an absolute agreement to refund
the money if it does not give satisfaction.
It is the only oure for catarrh that has
ever been sold under a guarantee to cost
nothing unless it cares, but Walton Mo-
Kibbon has so much faith in its power
to cure all catarrhal troubles that he is
willing to take the risk, so if Hyomei
does not help you, there will not be a
penny's expense. Get an outfit at once
on this liberal plan.
Sweet Charity droppeth as the gentle
rain from heaven. A few years ago there
arrived at London, Ontario, a tiny girl,
homesick and forlorn. For years she
worked on a farm, and as she grew her
desire to see her mother and little brother
in far -away England oorrerpondingly
increased. To bring them to Canada
she did not possess the means, and finally
her heartache drove her weary miles to
London, where she told her tale to the
Salvation Army. Her little story of dis-
tress was published in the London papers,
and what happened? Already the sum
of $108 has been subscribed, and soon
there will be sufficient to bring the moth-
er and brother to Canada, and make three
hearts happy, -Hamilton Spectator,
The poor country editor bas to worry
along and has to hustle around to gather
in the few miserable but elusively nimble
dollare that are owed him by his patrons
(?) and at the same time hunt np all the
news, say as many nice things as he can
to keep his readers in good humor, run
the affairs of his community as well as
ot the state generally. and wait for his
money until his debtors get good and
ready to pay, while meeting bills and
paying bank drafts and wages, which
would be easily met if his so -cal ed pat-
rons would bo more prompt and regular
in their payments, and after a strenuous
fight for existence lay his weary bones
down and die before his worth to the
community is recognized. -Parry Sound
North Star.
A Farmers Creed.
The following farmer's creed, form-
ulated nearly three-quarters of a century
ago, by Henry Ward Beecher, the famous
patriotic and public orator,
one
of the
first editors of The Indiana Farmer,
holds good to -day as well as then:
We believe in small farms and thoro
Cultivation.
We believe that soil loves to eat as
well as its owner, and ought, therefore,
to be liberally fed.
We believe in large Drops which leave
the land better than they found it -
making the farmer and the farm both
glad at once.
We believe in going to the bottom of
things, and therefore, in deep plowing
and enough of it. All the better with a
subsoil plow.
Wo believe that every farm shoull
own a good farmer.
We believe that the beet fertilizer for
any soil is a spirit of industry, enterprise
and intelligence. Without this, lime
and gypsum, bone and green manure,
marl and guano, will be of little use.
We believe in good fences, good barns,
good farmhouses, goo' stook, good or-
chards, and children enough to gather
the fruit.
We believe in a clean kitchen, a neat
wife In it, a clean cupboard, a clean
Constipation and
Bleeding Piles
There are voices of children away on the
hill;
There are bees through the flag -Sowers
humming;
The lighter man calla to the clock, and the
mill
On the farther side is drumming;
And I sink to sleep in my dream of a
dream,
In the grass by the banks of the river,
Where the voices blend and the lilies end,
And the elm tree shadows quiver.
Like a gift from the past is the kindly
dream,
For the sorrow and passion and pain
Are adrift like the leaves on the bresst
of the stream,
And the child -life oomes again.
0, the sweet, sweet pain of a joy that
died!
Of a pain that is joy forever 1
0, the life that dies in the stormy tide
That was once in my sun-fleoked river.
Failures in Canada.
Insolvencies in the Dominion of Can-
ada for the first nine months of 1907,
were 870 in number and $8,000,128 in
amount of liabilities, which compares
with 867 failures last year when the
amount involved was $6,826,386. While
the comparison is somewhat unfavorable
for the last year, it is found by going
further back that liabilities in 1907 were
smaller than in four of the preceeding
nix,
ears and the same is true as to the
Y
number of failures. Thio year's manu-
facturing insolvenoies number 249 and
involved $4,022,C62, against 212 failures
last year for $2,769,869. There was
little change in the trading division, 643
failures for $3,676,716 comparing with
637 defaults for $3,615,475. The liabili-
ties of $301,350 this year compare with
$441,045 in 1908.
Mr. John Hughes, Dexter street, St.
Catharines, Ont., and who has been a
resident of that city for forty-five years,
states: "Et is a satisfaction to speak a
word on behalf of Dr. Chase's Ointment
and Pi'ls. For five ;years I was sorely
alilieted with constipation and itching,
bleeding piles or hemorrhoids, which at
times made me unfit for anything. I
was in a most distressing and diecourag-
nee condition, as I had taken considerable
etofessionai treatment in vain.
'However, there cane a day when my
tithe surprised me and also my neigh -
'tore, for I began the use of I)r. Chase's
EidneeaLiver Pills and Ointment, and in
a short time was greatly relieved. I
persevered in the treatment until these
rufous ailments had sill passed away.
and I Was again enjoying my former
vigor, having obtained Complete imnian-
3ty from pain, for which 1: feel very
thankful."

tims of this dread and o wrens disease
who fail to find ready ief in this sim-

This simple recipe is said to strength-
en and cleanse the eliminative tissues of
the Kidneys so that they can filter and
strain from the blood and system the
poieone, acids and waste matter, which
cause not only Rheumatism, but nnm-
erous other diseases. Every man or
woman here who feels that their kidneys
are not healthy and active or who suffer
from any urinary trouble whatever,
should not hesitate to make np this mix-
ture, as it to certain to do much good,
and may save you from much misery

One of the women in the Kingston
earthquake showed what she thought
was great coolness. When the first
shook had passed she hurried out on to
the lawn in front of her hotel, blessing
her stars for he* escape. She felt that
she was perfectly cool, for she remember-
ed that she had left her powder puff be-
hinj, and determi;Ied to h'Itve it. Her
manner of recovering it Was as cool as
the rest of her conduct. She sent a black
servant into the tottering building after
it.
Kidney Disease
And Its Danger.
Kidney disease comes on quietly -
may have been in the system for years,
before you suspected the real cause of
your trouble. There may have been
backaches, neuralgia, sciatica, rheuma-
tism, etc. Perhaps you did not know
these were symptoms of kidney disease,
so the trouble kept on growing worse,
until disturbances of the water ap-
peared, or there was gr,vel or retention
of urine, or some such sign of ,kidney
trouble.
Doan's Kidney Pills should be taken
at the first sign of anything wrong;
they strengthen the kidneys and help
them to filter the blood properly -help
them to flush off, and carry away with
the surplus water, all those impurities
which the blood gathers up in its cir-
cuit of the body. , Al
Mrs. Alfred LeBlanc, Black Cape,
Que., writes : "I feel it my duty to say
a word about DoAN'S KIDNEY PILLS.
I suffered dreadful pains woes my
back -so bad I could not stoop or bend.
After having used two boxes I now feel
most completely cured. I highly re-
commend DOAN's KIDNEY PILLS."

STRATNCQNA TO -DAY.
Veteran Canadian Railway Builder
Called "Uncle Donald" Sy King.
At half -past nine o'clock on the:
morning of November 7. 1885, at
Craigollachie, British Columbia, as
old man whose hair was snowy white,
drove a golden spike into the cedar
tie upon which the rails met from .
east and west.
The man was Donald Smith. The
spike completed the Canadian Pacific.
In the terrible five years of its build-
ing, from 1880 to 1885, he had
changed from a strong, black -bearded,
sturdy man to a white-haired veteran.
In the year following Mr. Smith
was rowarded for Ms services with
knighthood in the Order of St. Mich-
ael and St. George. His cousin Mr.
Stephen, had already been recognized
with a baronetcy, and both had been
immortalized in the names of two of
the greatest mountains of the Cana-
dian Rockies, Mount Donald and
Mount Stephen.
Has Scarcely Altered.
Since the completion of the Cana-
dian Pacific Railway, Lord Strath-
cona's appearance has scarcely alter-
ed. At the age of eighty-four, says a
writer in The World's Work, his eyes
are as clear as they were thirty years
ago. His form is slightly bent with
age, but he still walks with firm and.
steady step. He talks freely and
brightly on the topics of the day,
though never committing himself on
matters of state, and he always makes
his visitor feel at ease from the mo-
ment he begins conversation to the
time when he bids him a cheery,
"Good-b,z;, "
It is this sense••t,f persistent kind-
liness that has won for him such a
host of friends. Once you have ex-
perienced it you can well understand
why the King and the Queen of Epg-
land dispense with all formality
where he is concerned -why they call
him "Uncle Donald." You feel that
he is "Uncle Donald" to you and to
all people who come within the circle
of his friendship. This characteristic
sums up the man as he is to -day.
A Valued Souvenir.
There is one little feature which
may mean much or little, but which
a visitor to Lord Strathcona cannot
but notice. When indoors he always
wears a little brown hat of silk, daint-
ily crocheted, on the top of bis head,
to cover the place where the once
abundant hair has disappeared.
Why he wears this little cap no-
body seems to know, but there must.
be some reason of no ordinary r nature.
for it gives him a great deal of
trouble, slipping over his head when-
ever he turns with a quick movement,
as ho often does when engaged in a
conversation which interests him. He
always balances it again carefully.
It may be soma gift of the olden
days, some memento of a faithful In-
dian friend during his long and lone-
ly sojourn in the Canadian wilds, or it
may be the work of his wife's hands.
Certain it is that some interesting his-
tory attaches to it. and that Lord
Strathcona sets a high value on he
little square of worked silk.
Lord Strathcona sits close by his
visitor, and sometimes lays his hand
on your knee with a gesture of pater-
nal, friendliness. At other times he
will lean back with folded arms, his
bright, sleep -set keen eyes twinkling
with a merry light. The beshy, over-
arching white eyebrows bet add 'to
the kindliness of the man's whole
countenance:

A Hudson lbav Route.
The leudsou nay route as one of

recently, made an expedition through

preferably by water. The further popu-
lation penetrates into upper Saskat-
chewan- and Alberta the longer the
rail hauls and consequently the slow-
er its development.
All that is needed to open Hudson
Bay to commercial ukes is a line of
rails to carry freight, to. one of its
•ports. At present the Hudson Bay
Coihpany and the Revillon Fur Com-
pany have ships that make its small
trading ports a few times a year. On
the score of distances this Hudson
Bay route has much to offer. Regina,
the capital of Saskatchewan and an
important town on the Canadian
Pacific Railway is just as near
Churchill on Hudson Bay, the point
proposed for a port, as it is to Fort
William on Lake Superior, and a
thousand miles shorter. than .the dis-
tance from Regina to Montreal at 'the
head of sea_ navigation on the St.
Lawrence.
' The distance from Churchill to
Liverpool is almost the same as that
from Montreal to Liverpool. Hence
there is a saving of distance of one
thousand miles of rail or water car-
riage in favor of this northern route.
Automobiling, it is said, has quick=
ened the market for furs and made
the quest of them even more zealous
than usual this year. The whale fish-
ery also supports twoships in Hudson
Bay. Flour for use of dwellers at the
ports on this waterway now reaohee
them from Winnipeg by way of Liver-
pool, but if steel rails were thrown
across the plains to Churchill, it
would open a direct trade route to the
world. Large areas of wood pulp and
merchantable spruce would be tapped;
iron ores and ee per bearing reeks
have also been found in various
places, besides a valuable mica mine.

Canada's Cool Ain't!.
Esidenoe that April, 1907, has been
an unusual month all over. Canada, ie
shown in the report which has just
been issued.
Irl British Columbia gentle spring
was two or three weeks behind het
usual time, while in the western pro-
vines the month closed with winter
still doing business. In parts of the
western provinces the precipitation
was twice the average, but it was
composed almost exclusively of
tsnow.
April temperatures were below aver-
age all over Canada. In the western
provinces the difference from average
was 6 to 13 degrees; in northern On-
tario it wee 7 to 11, and in southern
Ontario 4 to 6 below average.
