| | The New Policy of the Government Relative to Arid Lands Will Add MILLIONS OF PEOPLE To the Population of the West. Arid Lands Are the Most Productive, The Western people do not fully appreclate the importance of the irrigation plans or.t‘.'.e government. Although only about $3,000,- 000 are available for immediate work it is fortunate for the west that the policy has been decided upon. Every great economic enterprise must have a beginning. Amer- fea now enters upon the systematic utili- zation of the life giving waters of the arld reglons. It means many, many mil lons of dollars invested and it means homes for millions of Americans. ON THE EDGE OF THE BELT, The city of Omaha and the state of Ne- & will ha henefited. Hvery state west of the 100th meridian or having lands west of that meridian will be directly and im- mensely benefited. Our senators and rep- resentatives must look to their laurels and see to it that the government work and government appropriation are properly distributed. With millions of new homes to be made by hardy settlers the necessity for home life Insurance companies becomes more than ever pressing and THE BANKERS RESERVE LIFE like the piloneer of old will be found blaz- ing the way for loyal people to build up home institutions. With nearly $5,000,000 at risk and writing nearly a quarter of a million per month this young aggressive western institution is forging forward. It will be on the ground when the new set- tlers come. It will be keeping the families of the old settlers. Every insurable man and woman in this growing west owes It to himself and his dependents to patronize the home life companies in these days of prosperity. B. H. ROBIFON, PRESIDENT of the Bankers Reserve Life Assoclation, has enlisted In the regular army of fighters for the home and the aliens are paralyzel at the work being done under his direction. The peopie are with him.

I engaged to write for an Amer- izan paper some articles on the London parks, and 1 asked a friend how I could get accurate information regarding them. ‘' ‘Nothing simpler,’ sald the Englishman. ‘Drop a line to the ranger of Hyde park, and he'll set you right.’ “I wrote a courteous note to the ranger, and told him I did not mind parting with ‘la dollar or two if he could, put me in the way of writing an Interesting article. My communicativn was ignored, so fearing 1 had not offered enough I again consulted my English friend, and told him the amount proffercd. ‘“‘That was very generous of you,’ he sald sarcastically, ‘and I am amazed your munificence has not met with a readier re- sponse, for the ranger of Hyde park is his royal highness, the duke of Cambridge, uncle to the queen, and I am sure his ex- penses must be large.’ ™ What Adam Was Doing Portland Oregonian: It waas midnight, Suddenly in the Adam residence there was a cry, then a series of howis, and one ui the neighbors, passing by, heard the head of the house use language that was calcu- lated to loose the thunderbolts of heaven on the whole neighborhood. She stopped, ran up to the door, and, pressing the but- ton, listened eagerly at the speaking tube. “What in the world is your husband doing?” she asked, as the duilcet voice of Eve in- quired her errand. ““Oh,” replied Eve, “he is merely raising Cain. It requires strong language to raise a child like that."” And thus an expression was co'ned which promises to outlast history itself. Where the Trouble Lies Brooklyn Eagle: “I don’t understand it,”" she said. “What's the matter?” he asked. “I've carefully followed all the rules for child training laid down by three kinder- garten experts, and, in spite of it, Willie Is growing worse and worse.” “Well,”” he rewurned, thoughtfully, “of course, the rules are all right, so the fault must be with the child. It would be reactionary to change the rules. Let us, therefore, trade off the child.” Regular Affidavit Face At a little dinner the other evening former Governor D. R. Francis of Missour’, 4 democrat, was given credit for having originated one of the expressions which was often applied to President McKinley, says the Boston Journal. A correspondent, one of the guests, was called upon, and in the course of his after dinner speech, to illus- trate a point about some good coming from demcerats, told this story: “I accompanied Willlam McKinley to St. Louls on one of BUILT BY P. J. Karbach & Sons, CARRIAGE AND WAGON MAKERS, F. C. KEITH, (Mfr.), Cleveland, Ohlo THE ILLUSTRATED BEE. his first visits there, when he was just coming Into particular prominence. Dave Francis was governor of Missouri and went to MecKinley's hotel with another of the state officers to welcome McKinley to the state. He went as governor and not as a politiclan. After the formal call I happened to get into the elevator with him, and I overheard his associate ask the governor as to what he thought of McKinley's future. Francis said, ‘He will get along all right. He has a regular afidavit face.’ I used that expression in my dispatch that night, and thus you see from a democrat one of the descriptive expressions of the loved and lamented McKinley sprang.”’ Pen and Picture Pointers (Continued from Second Page.) chi'd, Miss Alice Roosevelt, now 18 years of age.

These are First Sergeant Arthur H. Vickers, aged 21, who was killed April 4, 1899, in action at Guiguento, P.

Riley, aged 25, who died at Maioics, Aprii 5, 1855, of Berrl granite, thirteen feet and six inches high, surmounted by an heroic figure in bronze of a soldier in heavy march- ing order.

It can be swung In a coupie of minutes so that the barges of the old canal are almost unhindered by the mighty ships of the new. England’s Big Canal System. This Bridgewater canal is only one of a large number of waterways which dis- tribute freight to all parts of England. We are prone to look upon this as a railroad country. It is a canal country as well: The United Kingdom has altogether 3,907 miles of canals, and cf these about 3,50( belong to England and Wales. More than one-third of the whole are the property of the railways, the others being managed by private corporations. Many of - the canals are connected with London, one joins Liverpool and Birm'ngham, others tap the country about Leeds, and others are found in the district of Sheffleld. Ireland has about 500 miles of canals and Scotland seventy miles. Upon these waterways abcut 40,000,000 tons of freight are annually carried at a cost of more than $10,000,000. They are sald to pay with horses as their motive power, and it is now proposed to run them by electricity, and I understand that some of our American capitalists have been look- ing into this transformation as a field for profitable investment.
