The Girl Found What She Wanted, But Still She Was Not Happy. “Some people have no sense,” said the girl shopper, as she sank down upon the chair in front of the counter. “What is it?’ asked a sympathizing friend, “can’t you find what you want?’ “Oh, it isn’t that, but I can’t find it in the way I want. They’re bound to proclaim it from the housetops. You see, I’ve been wanting to wear hip- pads for a long time—it gives a girl so much better shape, don’t you think, and I’m not very large. Everybody seems to think it’s so foolish, and so I've never had the nerve to ask for them. But to-day, when I found my- self right up on the same floor with them, I screwed up my courage, and asked a clerk up there about them. “Next counter,’ she cried, and then | she called out ‘Hip-pads,’ and, oh, dear, I know everybody is looking at me now, and I never shall be able to buy them!” - Lunar Food. “Mamma,” exclaimed a little boule- vard maiden, “they’s a new moon.” “Yes, so there is, my darling.” “They’s a new moon mos’ month, isn’t they, mamma?’ “Yes, love.” “Well, mamma, were does Dod dit all His new moons from?” “Oh, it’s the same moon all the time, Florence, dear.

Called the Hurricane Tree, and Is in Nassau, Capital of the Brhamas. In Nassau, the capital city of the Ba- hama islands, they say “the tree in the public square”’—noi the trees. Now, the public square of Nassau is quite as large as most cities of its size, but there | is only one tree in it, and that tree lit- erally fills the square and spreads its shade over-all the public buildings in the neighborhood. Yor it is the largest tree in the world at its base, although it is hardly taller than a three-story house. 1t is variously known as a cei- ba, or a silk cotton tree, but the peopic of the low islands of the West Indies call it a hurricane tree. For, no matter how hard the wind blows, it cannot disturb: the mighty buttressed trunk the ceiba. In the hurricane of last spring all the palms and many of the other trees of Nassau were overturned, but the great hurricane tree, although it lost all.its leaves, did not lose so much as a branch. Its trunk throws out great curving, wind-like braces, some of them twenty feet wide and nearly as high. These extend into the ground on all sides and brace the tree against all attack, while the great branches spread a thick shade over- head. In the tropie sunshine of miu- summer, hundreds, even thousands of people may gather in the cool of its shadow. No one knows how old the great tree is, but it must have been growing hundreds, if not thousands of years. A very old picture in the libra- ry at Nassau shows the tree as big as it is at present, and even the oldest negro on the island cannot remember when it Was a bit smaller.

THE PLACE FOR A POOR MAN. A Homestead Clear and Money Abead in Two Years. Alameda, N. W. T., Canada, Dec. 22, 1899. Mr. B. Davies, Canadian Govern- ment Agent, St. Paul, Minn.—Dear Sir: As I promised you about two years ago that at some future time I wor let you know what I thought of west- ern Canada and the chances of a poor man making a start and supporting a family at the same time, so will write a few facts concerning my own perience the past twenty-one months and what I have done, any able-bodied man can do, provided he will work. I left Traverse country March 20, 1898; landed in Alameda at noon the | 21st with $3.55 in my pocket, a str er and among strangers, and w family came in October, 18 my wife had nearly $10, or barely enough to pay freight on her stove, sewing- machine and clothes and beds. I com- menced work March 28; also made en- try for homestead same day (the man I started work for loaning me $15 to pay entrance fee), and [ have earned or at least received $478.10 in wages since then and have been idle at least two months of the twenty-one since | came. The homestead I took had twelve acres broke by a former occ pant. I paid $20 to have it replowe in July, ’98, and the seed wheat for it cost m@ $8.25. I let it to a neighbor for one-half in elevator, clear of al! expense except the seed, and this fall I received $70.10 for my part of the crops off the twelve acres, so my total receipts the past twenty-one months have been $548.10, and my expenses, | besides living for self and family, have been as follows: Entrance fee ($5 being paid for ad | H cancellation) ............ +-$ 15.00 Summer fallowing 12 acres + 20.00 Seed for same. cooee 8.25 \ Cost of house, besides my own labor on sameé............... 75.85 ; 20 acres of breaking and double- Giscing saMe.....ccecccscoecs 60.00 $179.10 My half of wheat..........06.. 70.10 Net expense on homestead....$109.00 We moved on our homestead July 10, 1899, have thirty-two acres in good shape for crops in 1900. My wife joins with me in sending best wishes to you and yours. You can truly say to any poor man who pays a big rent to get a farm (somebody else’s land) or works for wages to support a family, that I have personally tried both in Minnesota and tried hard to make a success of it, but found to my sorrow that after working hard a poor living was all I could get out\of it, and after nearly two years of western Canadian life I will say that I am very thankful to you for helping me to decide to try it in Canada. Yours respectfully, W. H. KINKADE. A Brief Career. “Too bad about Jane Gilroy, isn’t it?” “What was it?
