V J The Ways of Alice "I'm distressed half to death about her," sighed Mrs. Clinton. She glanced out of the window at her daughter, who was seated on the front porch deeply engrossed in a book. "1 never was interested in books to the exclusion of everything else, and I can't see why my daughter should be. And lor a girl not to care anything about her trousseau is positively ab normal." Mrs. Clinton's pretty face quivered with mental agony. "Alice doesn't care a bit whether she has any clothes or not," she declared, bitterly. "When 1 told her that she simply must decide 011 her wedding gown she just looked up at me with a dreamy, far-away ex pression and said: 'Why must 1 have a wedding gown? Why can't Frederick and 1 just go down to the chapel some day when we get ready and be mar ried without any fuss?' "Did you ever hear of anything so preposterous? Why, I was simply out of my mind for weeks before I was married. I thought of nothing but my clothes. I struggled with them all day and dreamed of them all night, and that's the normal, natural way for a girl to feel." Mrs. Henderson, aunt of the repre hensible Alice, laughed. "Why don't you let Alice do as she pleases?" she inquired. Mrs. Clinton frowned. "Now, I sup pose you're going to take her part," she said. "But it isn't a particle of use. She's the only daughter I have, so this is the only wedding 1 shall ever have in my own family, and I am determined to get some tun out of it. You won't believe me," harking back to her grievance, "but the other day when I asked her if she'd like to have you go with us to select her wed ding gown she looked more interested than I'd seen her for weeks. 'That would be lovely,' she said. 'But do you think there's any necessity for ray going? Why don't, you and Aunt Florence go by yourselves?' I could have spanked her." A few days later, as they left the stationer's shop, after ordering the in vitations and announcements, with Alice presumably somewhere in their rear, Mrs. Clinton said in a tone of satisfaction to Mrs. Henderson: "Now we can devote the rest of the morning to the wedding gown. "Show us some of your bridal satin, please." she said to the clerk a few minutes later. "That's an exquisite piece," she continued, as he held up the soft, shimmering fabric which fell in graceful folds over his arm. "It is beautiful, isn't it?" said Mrs. Henderson. "And it certainly is rea sonable. 1 doubt if you could do any better." "It is pretty," said Mrs. Clinton re flectively, "but, of course, I'm not going to take the first thing I see." The clerk displayed bolt after bolt of material and was rewarded at the end of his labors by hearing Mrs. Clinton say: "Thank you very much. Now we'll go and look at some of the lighter materials. "I haven't quite decided what the bridesmaids ought to wear," she re marked a short time after, as she and her sister examined piles of soft, deli cate chiffons and fairylike silk mus lins. "If they wear chiffon, I don't want Alice to, of course, and I think champagne chiffon or veiling over messaline would be lovely for the maids, but I intend to decide positively before anything is said to them. "Now. we'll goto Blank's and look," she said complacently, when they had examined every possible material in the first shop. "I'm going to see everything before I decide." Some time later, after they had vis ited every possible depository of wed ding gown material and had examined so many things that they could hardly have distinguished brocade from cheesecloth, with tired faces and dis heveled locks, they returned to the first shop and bought the piece of satin which they had first looked at. When it had been cut off Mrs. Clinton heaved a sigh of relief. "Now," she said, "Alice, you must go right up to madame's and let her take your measurements. There's no time to be wasted, for dressmakers are so provokingly slow." She paused a moment, but, receiv ing no response, she inquired: "Don't you think it's lovely, child?" There was still no answer. Turn ing. she found that she had been ad dressing the empty air. There was no Alice anywhere near. She looked at Mrs. Henderson and Mrs. Hender son looked at her. Then the two gasped in unison. Alice was distinctly not present. Feverishly they retraced their steps as nearly as possible to every shop and every counter in every shop which they had visited. Neither of them could remember when they had last seen the prospective bride. Finally, as a last resort, they re turned to the bookseller's shop where they had ordered the announcements. There, tucked up in a corner, so deep ly engrossed in her book that she was unaware of their presence until they had stood, speechless, in front of her for several seconds, sat the unregen erate Alice. She greeted them with the sweetest of uniles. "Did you get the dress?" she asked. "I knew you didn't renily need me, so when I found you were gone I just waited."

Scared Out. The guides had a pretty story to tell as often as they were asked why the cliffs gave back no sound. A beautiful Echo (so the story ran) formerly dwelt in the valley, and had great fun mocking people who, chanc ing that way, in any manner broke the sylvan silence. But once upon a time a party of smart women, prompted by the guides knew not what caprice, sat down in the immediate neighborhood to enjoy a game of progressive whist. "Gee. 1 give it up!" cried the Echo thereupon, and in consternation fled the ulace, nevermore to return. —Fuck. RED. It's the Red Blood Corpuscles That Proper Food Makes. An Ohio woman says Grape-Nuts food gave her good red blood and re stored the roses of youth to a com plexion that had been muddy and blotchy. She says: "For 10 years I had stomach trouble which produced a breaking out on my face. The doctors gave it a long Latin name, but their medicines failed to cure it. Along with this I had fre quent headaches, nervousness and us ually pain in my stomach alter meals. "I got disgusted with the drugs, stopped them and coffee off short, and quit eating everything but fruit and Grape-Nuts, with Postum for my table beverage. "The headaches, stomach trouble, and nervous weakness disappeared al most like magic, which showed that when the cause was removed and good food and drink used nature was ready to help. "My blood was purified and my com plexion became like a young girl's, while my weight was increased from 90 to 120 pounds in a few months — good, solid firm flesh, where it used to be soft and flabby. "I recommended Grape-Nuts and Postum to one of my friends, who was afflicted as I had been. She followed my advice and in a short time was re stored to complete health and in about 8 months her weight increased from 100 to 148 pounds. "Our doctor, observing the effect of Grape-Nuts and Postum in our cases, declared, the other day, that he would hereafter prescribe these food prod ucts for gastritis."

They are genuine, true, and full of human interest CANADA'S CENSUS A THIRTY-TWO PER CENT IN CREASE IN THE PAST TEN YEARS. That Canada has come rapidly to the front in the past ten years is am ply shown in the results of the census recently made public. The population of the Dominion is now placed at 7,081,869, which with outlying points to be heard from, may bring it up to millions as compared with 5,371,- 315 in 1901. Though these figures aro large, they do not present a total as large as was expected but they do show a greater increase of percentage in population for the decade than any similar increase in the United States. The highest percentage ever reached by the Republic was 24%; the per centage of increase in Canada for the decade is 32%. Thus it will be seen that the provinces west of the lakes, with the great broad fertile acres ready for the sowing and immediate reaping of grain and"the Valleys of Uritish Columbia capable of producing fruit with which to supply its neigh boring provinces east of the moun tains, have attracted numbers, which has exceeded the most optimistic of the expectations of ten years ago. Upon the prairies of the ten years ngo there was but a spare scattering of people; but today, no matter in which way you go, take any direction, and you find homes and farms and good ones too, occupied by the very best class of people in good sized set tlements with plenty of room for five or six times as many more. The pop ulation of Alberta is set down at 372,- Pl 9, as compared witli 73,022 in 1901; Saskatchewan 453,508 as compared with 91,270 in 1901; Manitoba's 454,- 691 compares well with its 255,211 in 1901; and so does that of British Co lumbia—362,76B as against 178,657 in 1901; but in a territory as large as this a population of 1,643,000 is little more than discernible in point of num bers. The work through it has been great. Look at the towns that have been built up; its cities, Winnipeg with 135,000; Vancouver with upwards of 100,000; Calgary with 43,000; Ed monton, Regina, Saskatoon; Leth bridge; Medicine Hat, Moosejaw, splendid cities—none better any where; well maintained and equipped. These have come with existence and been built as they have been built by reason of the splendid agricultural country by which they are surround ed. The population is scarcely dis cernible. A population ten or twelve times that shown by the recent census could be easily maintained in even greater wealth than that which maintains the present numbers. There is certainly a wonderful future for Western Canada and that which goes to the development of the west will enrich the last. This is the growing time in Canada and what has been done in the past ten years is but a beginning. The next decade will show a far greater advancement. In the meantime Canada is bidding wel come the progressive and industrious citizen. The invitation is a standing one. At the forthcoming land exposi tion in Chicago, Canada will have one of the best exhibits of farm products that has ever been made and it will be well worth while inspecting it and getting information from those who may be in charge.
