WINN 1PEGOSIS LETTER.

Austin, Minn.. March, 1898.
Winnipegosis, Mart., Jan. 23, 1899.
Benjamin Davies, Esq., Canadian
Government Agent, St. Paul, Minn.,
Dear Sir:—1 have great pleasure in
writing you these few lines to let you
know how I like my new location and
how I have been getting along since
I left Southern Minnesota. I like this
country well, the climate agrees with
me and my family at all seasons, and
taken all around it is away ahead of
Minnesota. I may say that we have
not had one storm yet this winter. As
regards the prcductives of the soil, I
consider it heats Southern Minnesota. I
am a practical farmer, but have never
seen such vegetables in my life as I
have seen raised here. As regards
grain of all kinds, I have seen splen-
did yields, in fact any man who can-
not get along here and make a good
living cannot do it anywhere.
We have abundance of wood for fuel,
timber for building, and lots of hay.
I hav? got good water on my place
about 24 feet. I have a good class of
neighbors around me, and have been
well used by everybody. I have been
able to get lots of work for myself
and team at fair wages, whenever I
wanted it, and I think any one else
can do the same. I would not care to
return to Minnesota. I am, sir, yours
very truly,
(Signed) DENNIS TWOHEY.
The government has agents in sev-
eral of the states, any of whom will be
pleased to give you information, as to

it.
“The Popping Stone” marks the spot
where Sir Walter Scott asked Miss
Carpenter to marry him. It is situated
in the beautiful valley of the Irthing,
at Gilsland, an inland watering place
near Carlisle. The popping stone is
visited by many thousands during the
summer months and, it is said, many a
laggard lover has • had his courage
screwed up to popping point at this
romantic spot. In the immediate
neighborhood may also be seen
“Mumps Ha,” which Scott immortal-
ized in “Guy Mannering,” while a lit-
tle farther afield the Roman wall and
Lanercost priory prove attractions to
visitors to Gilsland.
What “Alabastine” Is.
Aiabastine is a durable and natural
coating for walls and ceilings. It is
entirely different from all “kalsomine”
preparations. Alabastine comes in
white or twelve beautiful tints, and is
ready for use by adding cold water.
It is put up in dry powder form in
five-pound packages, with full direc-
tions on every package. Alabastine is
handsome, cleanly and permanent. It
can be re-coated anr]j retinted at slight
expen se„— uggi sts
sell Alabastine and Turnish card of
tints.
The theorist Is all right until it is
time to make a practical demonstra-
tion.

He said with a merry laugh.
The maiden with a tender kiss
His sentence cut in half.
“I was,” he gasping- cried again,
‘‘In Santiago town;”
When with Another loving kiss
She straightway cut him down.
“I was,” once more he strove to say,
‘‘In Santiago, see?”
But ere he could complete the phrase
She landed number three.
“1 was at Santiago town;”
The fourth he countered low;
Then added, as he turned to run,
‘‘At least three years ago!”

use more than one or two doses to cure
the wost case with myself or children.

According to the laws of good so-
ciety in China, young widows should
not remarry. Widowhood is therefore
held in the highest esteem, and the
older the widow growls the more agree-
able her position becomes. Should she
reach 50 years she may, by applying to
the emperor, get a sum of money with
which to buy a tablet, on which her
virtues are named. The tablet is
placed over the door at tbe principal
entrance of her house.
