A clever artist,' with a turn for the gro tesque, nnd a versifier with a taste for eccentric rhymes, he might but for his brilliant son, be remembered today ns the uuthor of the 'Tied Piper of Hamclln," for It was he who told Rob ert that story, and, some yenrs before the poet produced his version, turned It Into lively verse for the entertain ment of a sick child little Willie Mucready, son of the famous nctor. The poet does not seem to luive known of his father's version until after he had produced his own. Foolishness of Worry. Of all tho physical Ills which we needlessly and unconsciously bring up on ourselves the most are doubtless caused by worry. Hurrying through our dally tasks and pleasures at breathless speed Is bad enough, but to worry about future Ills Is far worse. It Is well enough to look Into the future nnd provide to our best ability against misfortunes, but when this foresight nniouuts to seeing only the phantoms In our path, It Is nothing short of slow suicide Three secret service men urn) one of the White House naval aides surrounding the president as he' and Mrs. Wilson go out In front with Mrs. Wilson Is Col.

It Is getting to be a long drawn out story, the way that Western Canadian farmers have made money. Many of, them a few years ago, came to tho country with little nure than their few household effects, probably a team of horses and a cow or two, ond suffi cient money to do them for a few months, until they got a start Hun dreds of such can be pointed out who today have splendid homes, weft equipped farms, the latest machinery and nn automobile. Here Is tho case of A. E. Merrlam, formerly of Devil's Lake, N. D. Ho didn't leave there be cause the land was poor, or farming not a success, for all who know that country are aware that It Is au excel' lent country. Ho wanted to expand, to take advantage of tho cheap land that Western Canadu offers. And that same story has appealed to hundreds of others who have had like success with Mr. Merrlam. But his story, and he signs It, too, Is: "I came to Alberta In the Spring of 1009 frotn Devil's Mike, North Dakota, locating on my farm near Dalroy. "I arrived with six head of horsrt and two head of cattle and about $l,r00. Since then, I have Increased my live stock to seven head of horses, four head of cattle, and about one hun dred head of hogs, a four-roomed, house, good barn with oil modern tin- provements, a feed grinder, elevator, chopper, fanning mill, etc. I have In creased my original capital at least four times more since coming here. "From the feeding of hogs during the last year, I had a gross return of $5,000. "I first started grain farming, bat during the past four years I have mad hogs my specialty, and yon may by the foregoing statement for 1018 that I have not done so badly. "Land has Increased at least twenty per cent In value during the past few years, now selling for from $23 to $35 , per acre, with nominal taxes of about $27 a quarter section yearly. ."The climate here Is better than Da kota In that we do not have so much dry wind; the winters are similar to Dakota. "As for farming In general, the grow ing and feeding of live stock Is more sure than the grain farming, If con tinued year after year, ond If every farmer follows this he will be ahead of the grain growers In the long run. Taking everything Into consideration, I feel satisfied with my success In Alberta." ' (Sgd.) A. E. JJEimiAM. Dnlroy, Alberta, Jan. 12th, 1017. There will be the greatest demend for farm labor In Western Canada dur ing the early spring, and, In fact U season until November, ond the high est wages will be paid.
