PT SEEMS as though
almost everybody in
America who can
afford to —and it
does not always re
quire much money—
is coming to ride
some sort of a hob
by. Especially Is
this tendency notice
able among promi
nent men In all
walks of life. There
is, however, cause for rejoicing rather
t.han otherwise In this tendency for a
bobby—always supposing it is not rid
den to death —as a means of diver
sion and relaxation, and it is bound
l> prove distinctly beneficial to the
Man of affairs whose mind it relieves
temporarily from the stress and strain
of official, business or professional
cares. It Is doubly .fortunate that
many of our celebrities whose work
keeps them indoors much of the time
have selected hobbies that lure them
out into the open.
President Taft, for instance, has
three out-door hobbies, golf, motoring 1
and horseback riding. His chief in
door hobby is grand opera as render- i
ed by a talking machine. He has in
his "corner" of the Blue Room at the
White House one of the finest of the
modern sound reproducing instru
ments and will sit by the hour enjoy
ing the voices of Caruso, his special
favorite, Mme. Tetrazzlnl, and other
operatic stars. Another prominent
man who delights in twentieth cen
tury musical production is Captain
Peary of North Polo fame, who
amuses himself with a player piano.
Representative Nicholas Longworth,
who married Alice Roosevelt, is an
accomplished violinist.
The hobbies of the vice president
of the United States are home- —gar-
dening and baseball. Mr. Sherman
does not play ball himself, but he is i
an enthusiastic "fan." There is, how- j
ever, one prominent man who is a
ball player of genuine ability. This !
is John K. Tener, former congressman !
from Pennsylvania, who has been very
prominent in the public eye since his j
election as governor of the Keystone i
state. Mr. Tener was a professional 1
ball player before he went to con
gress and last year he got up that j
memorable ball game In which the !
Democratic congressmen played j
TREASURE HUNTERS IN MAINE

attributes much of his energy and in

TEN MILLION PEOPLE
IN THE CANADIAN
WEST BY 1920
"Toronto Star," Dec. 16th, 1910.
The prediction is made that before
1920 Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Al
berta and liritish Columbia will have
ten million people. It is made not by
a sanguine Western journal but by
that very sober business newspaper,
the New York Commercial. It ia
based upon actual observation, upon
the wheJtt-growlng capacity of the Ca
nadian West, and upon the prospects
of development following the build
ing of railways. The writer shows
how the position of leading wheat
market of the world passed from
Milwaukee to Minneapolis and thence
to Winnipeg. Canada's wheat-grow
ing belt is four times greater than
that of the United States, and only
five per cent of Canada's western agri
cultural area is under cultivation.
There are 170,000,000 acres of wheat
lands which will make these Western
Provinces richer, more populous, more
dependable for food supplies than the
Western States can ever become. The
center of food supremacy will change
to Canada, and 25 years more will
give this country 40,000,000 popula
tion west of Ontario.
All these estimates of population
are in the nature of guesses, and must
not be read too literally. But tho
enormous area of wheat-growing land,
the rapid construction of railways,
and the large volume of immigration
are facts which must be recognized.
They point to the production of an
ever-increasing surplus of wheat and
other cereals. However rapidly the
urban, the industrial and commercial
population of Canada may increase,
the increase of home consumption ia
hardly likely to keep pace with that
of the production of wheat; for a sin
gle acre of wheat will provide for the
average annual consumption of four
people.
While production in Canada is thus
running ahead of consumption at a
prodigious rate, consumption in the
United States Is overtaking produc
tion, and the surplus for export Is
growing smaller year by year. It la
true that the limit of actual power to
produce wheat is as yet far away.
By methods of intensive cultivation,
such as prevail In France, the produc
tion could be greatly increased. But
with the overflowing granary of Can
ada so close at hand, it seems likely
that our neighbors will begin to Im
port from us, turning their own en
ergies more largely to other forma of
agriculture.
It must, be remembered that while
the Northern States resemble Canada
in climate end products, the resem
blance diminishes as you go south
ward. The wheat belt gives place to
a corn belt, and this again to semi
tropical regions producing cotton, to
bacco, cane-sugar, orangea and other
tropical fruits.
The man who secures a farm In
Western Canada at tho present time
secures an investment better than the
bpst of bond of any government or
bank. It is no unusual thing for a
farmer in Western Canada to realize
a profit of from $5 to $lO per acre.
There are thousands of free home
steads of lfiO acres each still to be
had, and particulars can be obtained
by writing your nearest Canadian gov
ernment agent.

"Thomas W. Lawson's Thanksgiv

piece of oratorical writing," said a
Boston banker. "Lawson is always
full of quips.
"Not long ago I attended the fu

of those real high financiers' whose
low methods Lawson loves to turn the
light on.
"I arrived at the funeral a little

she added, "we must keep our feet
