The Writer of “Stray Shots” has distinct recollections in his Sunday School days of a good old “ Mocher in Israel,” whose continuous sojourn within the church militant was a source of worriment to her fellow members. The good sister referred to lived so high above the rest that her focus upon their failings threw the latter into such strong relief as to frequently cause those “burnings” that the-apostle Speaks of so feeling- ly. It was not any wonder. there- fore. that one of the church officials at a meeting in which no little inter- est had been created by the “ faith- fulness ” of the old lady in question along the line of “ telling your broth~ er his faults.” solemnly prayed that the Lord would take her to Himself; ings. There are some people who; really seem to be subjects for trans- ‘ lation and no serious protest would. be made by their friends or acquaint- ances. We have known Wives whose husbands were so good that the ‘ would like to see them at heaven’ . length or at any other distance where 3 their meanness and selfishness would make life less worrisome. We have; known men and women so full of i their own goodness that they could: not live with that:- imam“. r- A balloon will help you rise in the world. but before you step into the car have a care that the air ship is properly provided with a good valye and plenty of ballast. If. gas only were needed, ballooning would be pepular. and aeronauts as plenti- ful as mosquitos in a Jersey swamp. If a business could he run on hope commercial agencies would be out of a job and insolvency would be as scarce as truth in an eleccion cam- paign. Hope is good but, wind pud- ding vtill make neither man nor busig ness fat. Hepe is a fine companion; but a poor guide; properly handled it brightens many a dark road, but blindly followed. like a will-o’-the , wisp it leads into ditch and bag.) The over-hopeful man carried away byalittle success plunges into ex-g travagance and speculation, and be-g fore he is properly started on the' way to success is up to his neck inf mud. All his goose eggs are to: hatch swans. The profits of next-f month’s business are in pocket if not,I already spent before the goods actu-} ally arrive in the store. Father! Time's notes of hand are discounted so far in advance that the interest! eats up the benefits of the “goodi time coming” long before the latter{ arrive. “Live in hope” is a maximé too often preached as well as practis- ‘ ed.” “Live and hope” is a better; one. Hope is like steam. Turn in; to the engine and it sets in motion! the great machinery of life, but turn :’ it up against the exhaust pipe and; you have nothing but noise and vapor ' with the attendant discomfort and disgust to everybody about. The? amount of energy that is lost to the? world every day through misdirected E hope is appalling. u It is funny how generous people are in some things. The man in front of you on Sunday will pass back the ccllection plate with a nod that is only excelled by the cheerful- ness with which he and others pass back some of the points I!) the ser- mon to their neighbors. l‘he despair of preachers is the complacency with which the congregation will fit their remarks to those about them. The most of us are afflicted with moral longsight and can see the mote in our brother’s eye at a thousand yards when we cannot perceive the beam in our own with an ordinary hand- glass. Some of the people who en- joy these “shots” derive great satis-t faction from the ease with which they can fit the cap upon others. “I can just put my finger on the man that was intended for," said a reader the other day, and he forwith sent his victim a copy of the journal marked with blue pencil. Douhtlese he retired that night with the feel- ing of satisfaction that comes from the belief that he had turned asinner from the error of his ways. It is disappointing to load up with a good dose of buckshot and have somebody catch it and pass it back. It seems well night impossible to get under the hide of some peOple, even with a dum-dum bullet. l STRAY SHOTS FROHOLOMON.

KELLY, {Put men of equal ability and know- ledge of the science of farming on leach, with the same capital, stock. jimplements, etc., and at the end of isixteen years the Ontario man is in a iposition to retire from the farm and flive an independent life in some Ltown, while the man in the west has {either given up in despair or is still ,“ grabbing along.” Unless a man has a full seetion (six hundred and forty acres) in this country. he seems unable to farm with any apparent success. Yet I have seen scores of farmers here. who, though in this country ten. fif' teen. twenty or twenty-five years. are very little farther ahead of the position they were in at the start. Why, if they are making so much money, if it pays so well to farm in the west, why have so few even the ordinary comforts of life in their homes and around them? How many men in Ontario would work from ten to twenty-five years with nothing but a straw-roofed barn for his horses, or nothing but a Stable " Now. there is no doubt this is a great countryâ€"great in extent, great in the enormous crops harvested; great in some of the possibilities yet for the man who has money. It is not. however, the country it has been said to be in many ways. Acre for acre it will not yield as does Ontario. Given one hundred acres in the weSt and the same number in Ontario. The following letter appeared in the Wiarton Canadian lasr week and should make some of our farmers pause before selling their farms and going west. “ When my boy was two years old he had a very severe attack of bowel complaint, but by the use of Chamber- lain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy we brought him out all right,” says Maggie Hickox, of Mid- land, Mich. This remedy can be de Dended upon in the most severe cases. Even cholera infantum is cured by it. Follow the plain printed directions and a cure is certain. For sale at Parker’s Drug Store.

There are a lot of peOple who would be §shocked to death at the sight of rou- ‘ lette table or a wheel oi fortune who have no compunction about gambling ’along more genteel lines. A man can be a church member and belong to the society for the suppression ol vice, and be a worse gambler than the fakir who runs a thimhle rig. Anauias and Sapphira are held up as ex.mples of moral obliquity on whom the just vengeance at an outraged God fell with fearful swiftness. Yet they were only doing what hundreds of church members do every dayu They thought to purchase stock inl the Kingdom of Heaven on a margin and their stock was " called.” Their example in regard to earthly stocks as well as heavenly has since been followed with seeming impunity. Some of the biggest gambling deal on earth are consummated by people who would resent being styled “knights of the green baize." Gamb- ling is gambling no matter whether it is in wheat or in a draw poker. or whether it be conducted in a “ dive " or in the rotunda in the board of trade. It is all very well to draw nice distinctions, but the church rafle and the friendly penny ante after all are in the same category with the “ seven up ” and the lottery swindle. Call yourself by your right name if you indulge in games ofchance eitner socially or commercially. l not infidelity that saps the foundation of Christianity, it is the consummate meanness and selfishness socially and commercially of some of those who profess its tenets. The religion of the man who can’t kneel down with his family as freely and kindly as he can at the prayer meeting is not worth a. button on Let year’s cost. The man who is so good that he is always picking holes in some one’s character would pick a pocket if he goc the chance. " Be not righteous over much.” WAS A VERY SICK BOY. HOW IS THIS.

You may publish this if you wish, and if so I hope it will cause peeple to think well before they take the step that leads them west, and may mean so much or so little for them. And may I jusc say one thing more? Some one has blundered. just who, I do no'. know. Either too many men have been brought out for harvesting. or they have not been prOperly diStributed along the line of railway. Scores of men are walk- ing the streets of Moose Jaw and Regina seeking work in vain, though Toronto papers said at every Station farmers were eagerly waiting the ar- rival of the trains. Four good, strong, willing young men have just left my house who have unsuccess- fully looked for work for a week. I have directed them to difierent farm- ers, and hope they may be more suc- cessful today. It is time the C. P. R,, or whoever runs these excursions, do so in some more systematic way. I am not writing this to discourage peOple from coming west, but to say this, the place for men settled on farms in Out. and making a living is Ontario. Let the young men come west. and only the surplus of them. Don’t come west to farm unless there is nothing for you in the east. Don’t come west without any money either. Homesteads that are worth anything much are now scarce. except those from fifty to one hundred miles from the railroad. The probability is you will have to buy land and pay from fifteen to forty dollars an acre, after which your outfit will have to be bought. However. if you are not afraid to “ tough it ” for a few years and can work. you. if a young man, ought to be able to get a start in five or six years.£"‘"'""’“""' The trouble is the enormous cost of running a farm in the west. Think of an outlay of fifteen hundred dol~ lars before one seeder can he put to work. with its four horses; their harness and the driver; and when two or three or four of these are nec- essary you can reckon the cost. Then there are the gang plows, the disk or back setting plows. the harrows and the binders, two or more of each, with their four or more horses re- quired 101' each. All these things coat money, while the wages to farm hands run from twenty-five dollars per month to fifty dollars per month during harvest. J UMPING WITH NERVE PAIN. I Now. something must surely be iwrong. They are busy piling up imoney, perhaps. They are so busy . they have no time for ornamentation. Trees gather the snow. I don’t be- lieve any of these things I know you will find large, spacious. com- fortable housesâ€"frame. brick or con- crete; I know you will find good large banked barns, and I know there are men here who have money. The owners of these houses, and let me tell you they are not very plentiful. have been here almost a lifetime, content for all these years to endure hardships an Ontario farmer would not put up with for five years. The outndes of their buildings may in these cases look well, but the home like feeling always met with in the Ontario home is not there. Trees if; prOperly placed will not gather the‘ snow. . made of poles filled in with straw. with an earth floor. pole stalls. and straw or sod roof? How many in Ontario would be content with log houses. or if frame, have whitewash. ed walls, little furn~tureâ€"â€"in fact with things seemingly just as they started? Ontario farmers find time to beautify their homes, to plant trees, to attend to their lawns and make home beautiful. I have travel- led twenty miles at a time and have seen in that distance only one farm on which the slightest attempt at such improvements have been made. And. remember, trees will grow readily and rapidly. The balm of zilead, the poplar, the soft maple. the Rusian paplar, all these and och- ers need only to have the ground prepared by plowing and a very little working and either the seed put in or cuttings laid down and covered, and they will grow without any more than the ordinary attention.
