On Monday evening, a farewell turkey supper was given in honor of the recruits who had joined the (75th QO. S. Battalion of Medi: Hat (Lieut -Col, Spencer) in the Arm’s hall, Nelson A the J. Hewitt, in his opening remarks, cine puklic meeting preceded supper. The chairman, M. spoke on behalf of the recruits, and said that Chinook had not given many in the past, but ex- pected that now a start had been made, that we would do our share in produceing some of the best and bravest fighters who would fully keep up the splendid repu- tation and traditions of the British race, that the Canadians had wor: in the trenches,and wherever else they had been called upon in the deteirce of the British Empire. Gape: Rideout thanked his' fel» low citizens for the honor they had bestowed upon him “and the recruits from Chinook, and he also thanked the recruits person- ally in answering the cail of their country and the Empire, and trusted that they would have a share in the glorious victory that was going to be won by the Allies Sergt. Warner said he was glad that he was one of the first to join the 175th O.S. Batt., and he was now working hard to get others to follow his example. He thought that the ladies could greatly help along this good work and that he would be very glad of their assistance.

Every farmer knows that in breeding live stock the greatest care must be exercis_ in the selection of the ani- mals to be bred, and that by con- sistently following the practice of breeding only from the best, and dis- carding the poor animals, the herd is gradually built up until it consists only of first class animals. The value of such animals much exceeds that of the ordinary kind, but the cost of keeping the pest animal is no greater than that of keeping the poorer, un- profitable kind. Practically the same principle ap- plies in the use of seed, and farmers should be just as careful in their selection of the seed fror which they hope to harvest a bountiful crop. If he uses a poor quality of seed he must expect a crop that is anything but bountiful and probably very poor CHINOOK. ‘ALTA,’ Marquis and Red Fife Wheat Professor Cutler of University of Sas- katchewan Discusses Varieties ~ That the farmers of Saskatchewan should pin their faith on Marquis and Red Fite varieties of wheat and should take especial care to select puro seed were two of the emphatic statements made by Prof. G. H. Cutler at Saskatoon in an address to the students of the short courses in agri- culture. About one hundred delegates were present. Prof, Cutler addressed them on “A Study in Types and Varieties in Wheat.” : “The hybrid varfeties of wheat which have been employed in the west have now served their time. The com- ing of Marquis wheat which was bred for earliness as well as quality has superseded the hybrid varieties and a case, turers, we have discarded them from our : lists.

On the other hand, good seed, properly planted in good ground, and the crop properly cared for, will cost, no more {o mature than the poor seed, and, under ordinary conditions, the result will be good crops of fine quality which will usually command good prices. rood seed should be strong or able to produce good vigorous plants; it should be free from disease, true-to- type or variety, and free from impuri- ties or adulterations. In the pur- chase of seed. care should be taken to see that it is the best obtainable of ‘the variety wanted; that it has been carefully cleaned to take out all the lighter grains as well as the weed} seeds, as far as possible, and then it should be carefully tested for germi- nation. Good seed should show a germination of from #0 to 95 per cent. of strong sprouts, and such seed when properly planted in moderate quantity will produce a more profit- able crop than several times the | quantity of poor seed, as it will be both larger in quantity and finer 7 quality.

In actual fact, the admission of a large new class to the rights of the franchise no doult implies recogni- uion of its right to choose its own representatives. It is pointed out. however, that the enfranchisement of the women will not in itself remove theiz present disqualincation for elec- tion to the house. The education law defines the qualifications required of candidates, and among them it is re- quired that they shall be of the male sex.

Not all bankers have seen this nor informed themselves upon the busi- ness practices of farming, for re- cently - our attention was called to a rather stupid act of a banker. He had lent money to a certain farmcr for a year for the purpose of puz- chasing some dairy heifer calves, At the end of the year the banker de- manded his money, so the farmer was forced to sell his heifers. The banker had not helped this man by lending him money. in fact he in- jured him. If he had extended the loan till the heifers began to return something to the farmer the banker would have helped both the farmer and himself. It is a hopeful sign to note that most bankers are informing them: selves upon business methods of farming so that they can render the farmer a good business judgment. At the recent Banker-Farmer con- vention there was a motto on the wall that reads ag follows: “Take inter- est in the farmer as well as from him.” The banker who jis not will- ing 10 do this and to lend money tip- on the basis that will be to the best alvantage of the farmer is shore sighted as to his own welfare.

Some officers refused to destroy their pieces, saying they preferred to use their last bit of jstrength in trying to save them; and some of them have succeeded and factually have brought their guns | across. “Altogether there have arrived by ; Various routes six thousand women }and children, The tragedy of the sit- ‘uation is that the army has almost inothing to eat.

The person who con- bines all these can rest assured of a good market at paying prices for all the good butter that can be pro- duced on his farm during the winter months.—H. H.

ROBABLY never before in the history of this country has theré.been such a brilliant so- cial season in the national capital as this year. With a bride in the White House and all cabinet mem- bers on duty in Washington, there has been and will continue to be any num- ber of dinners and other functions, both small and large. The war in Europe—it just crops out on all occasions and no one can keep {t In the background—necessarily en- ters into the social gayeties. Those who entertain the diplomats from Eu- ropean nations have been at thelr wits’ end to prevent representatives from the LPP TS ATW pene Le TVET ITED... Fe a warring powers meeting at the formal functions. But the bride in the White House is somewhat of a diplomat her- self and has solved the matter satis- factorily. , .: “aytp Sb Ay 4. Fe Something. about ‘other mistresses of the White House who entertained while their husbands were the first men of the country is interesting at this time and shows how vastly different have the various matrons been in their tastes, Martha Washington, they ‘say, “came to her position a stately, kind and pious lady, whose thoughts and ambitions lay all in the fulfillment of her social and domestic duties. She grew to be very much like Washington in manner, even in voice, and her mind molded itself to his.” , Mrs Washington's successor was, by her Own words, “a mortal enemy to anything but a cheerful countenance and a merry heart." This was-not the easy creed of an untested disposition, for Abigail Adams, the first; mistress of the White House, had ‘bee through’ the stern training of: poverty: and re- sponsibillty, pestilence and warfare and had proved herself firmly ‘patriotic and self reliant as well as_ unfailingly cheerful. so Brilliant Dolly Madison. Dolly Madison was the brilliant wife of the secretary of state and later President Madison. She was “brilliant, of overflowing vitality, tact, kindness, sweetness and invincible innocence. To be popular and to make her husband's rule brilliant was her sole ambition. To be Dolly Madison’s guest or hostess was a coveted honor.” Mrs. Monroe “was a stately, polished City of Bagdad, Second In Size In Turkey, Is the Key to All Trade In the Orient Birdseye View of Bagdad and Peculiar Boats on Tigris River.

Killed by Scandal. Mrs. Jackson, killed by scandal, was buried in the gown that had been made for the inaugural ball, leaving her po- sition to a niece. The first Mrs. Tyler, delicate and re- served, took her position only in name. When she died her mantle fell on her son's wife, Mr. Robert Tyler, and then on her daughter, the witty, attractive Letitia Semple, President Tyler's sec- ond wife had been educated abroad a more stirring history, seen more of the pomp and splendor of the east or occupied a more important position commercially and strategically. Few people realize that for centuries Bag- dad was the most Important center of literature, science and art as well as the busiest and wealthiest hub of com- merce in the world. Though Bagdad today is a city of 150,000 people and capital of a Turkish province, she retains hardly a shadow of her’ former greatness, There were 2,000,000 souls within her walls when London and Paris were no larger than Washington. The very bricks in the houses of modern Bagdad have been used over and over again, as the build- {ings were sacked and razed to the ground by victorious besiegers and la- boriously rebuilt. Some of them bear the stamp of Nebuchadnezzar, who tuled 600 years before Christ, If the English take Bagdad they will enter a typical orlental town, with a labyrinth of unpaved streets, some of them so narrow that two horsemen cannot pass abreast, a town that 1s an {sland during the spring floods of the Tigris and the Euphrates, where the restless river waters gnaw continually at thelr banks until whole rows of houses topple into the stream, where the lack of all sanitation makes the death rate so high that in times of epi- demic most of the population leaves the walls and camps In the nearby desert. The streets have a curiously forbid- ding and inhospitable look, due to the fact that few houses have outside win- dows, and loom up to the pasgzerby as a olid bank of dead walls. Tho typical native establishment con- sists of a two story building with a small garden in the rear. Kitchen and vervants’ quarters are on the ground floor, while the first floor is given over to the family. The roof makes a third floor, where the native of Bagdad really frends more time than In either of the others. In,the hot season, when the south wind blows from the Arabian desert and the thermometer climbs to 122 degrees, he takes refuge in the coolness of the cellar. All the dirt and squalor of the pres- ent are vastly different from the mag- nificent Eagdad of the caliphs—the Arabic and Persian rulers who made {t the center of the civilized world. Bagdad arose with meteoric sudden- ness. One of the early caliphs, then ruling in Damascus, built a circular citadel on the site of the ancient city of Bagdad, which had almost disap- and introduced courtly customs at th White House. Poor Mrs, Taylor, the wife of the ‘ignorant frontier colonel,”. had no heart for.mansions and crept. discon-- solately into a corner of the White House, while her daughter, Betty Tay- lor Bliss, took the helm. Mrs. Fillmore Loved Books, Millard Fillmore’s delicate wife kept to her music and books and flowers, letting a brilliant daughter do the honors, To Mrs. Fillmore’s love of reading was due the library appropria- tion granted by congress. There were few social activities at the White House during Mrs. Lincoln's reign as mistress, as the civil war was raging at that time. When Johnson entered the White House another invalid wife was Install-! ed as nominal mistress, to dle 81x} months later. Mrs. Patterson, a daugh- ter, took up the social burden. Her opening statement was received with acclamation: “We are plain people from the mountains of Tennessee, call- ed here for a short time by a national calamity. I trust too much will not be expected of us.” She carried her scorn of luxuries almost to a fault, but she ifilled her position with tact, Witn tne WUrants"f& certam ceremorm Was re-established.

Limited London, Melbourne and Toronto (Continued) CHAPTIR LIX, Exit the Asiatics Tehigorsky, Ralph Ravenspur and Geoffrey sat smoking in the blind men's room. It was late the same aft- ternoon and from the window could be heard tne thunder of the incoming ude, Tchigorsky appeared to be in excellent spirits, puted his cigarette with gusto and came out in the new role of a raconteur. “We have them all now,” he said. “Today will settle everything. It was a pretty idea of Ralph's to hang about the corridor under the impression that the woman would try to send some kind of message to her familiars. Real genius, L call it.” “Not a bit of it,” Ralph said dog- gedly. “Pshaw, a child would have done the same The woman was bound to try to send a letter. She lies there helpless, but knows that somebody is movinginher tracks, And to add to her suspense, she hasn't an idea who is following her up. “Don't you sea she is in the dark? Don't you understand that she sus- pects she has heen trapped?. She wants to know what we think about her; she wants her information all at one fell swoop, And when she found Marion was missing she felt certain that her time was near.” “What is her hold over Geoffrey asked. “And why has Marion gone away?” Tchigorsky said evasively. “We shall come to a full understanding about that presently. Let us begin to un- ravel the skein trom the start. I read that letter which Ralph gave to me, the letter which by this time is in the hands of that woman's They pave instructions to come to the castle at dusk and enter it by way of the vaults. When the family are at dinner the Orientals will make their way up to their mistress.” “But can they?” Geoffrey asked. “Of course they can. Many a night have they been here. But we have already stopped any danger that way by locking the door of the vault, the one below sea level. Then we shall go down the cliffs presently and take the chaps like rats in a trap. They will be arrested and handed over to the police because the time has come when we can afford to show our hands. The end is very near,” “But the evidence against May?” Geoffrey suggested. Tehigorsky-. tapped his pocket significantly. e “You have forgotten the diary,” he said. “I have evidence enough here to hang that vile. wretch over and over again. I have evidence enough to place in hands of the government which will convince those gentry in the temples beyond Lassa that they had better be content to leave us alone in future unless they desire to have their temples blown about their svarion?” Mrs. breast ears. This diary clinches the whole business. The house of Ravenspur is free.” “God grant that it may be so,” Geof- frey said fervently. “We have only to wait till dusk. Tell me the rest of your adventures in the Black Valley.” Tchigorsky nodded as he proceeded to make a fresh cigarette. “There is not much more to tell,” he said. “Some day, when I have more leisure on my hands, I will give the whole business, chapter and verse, I have only told you enough for you to know the class of foe you have to deal with, “Well, as I told you, we shot two of the priests whose husiness it was to guide our stumbling feet to the hot- tom and then leave us there. We knew that these men would never be missed, so that we hadn't much anx- icty on that score. The others, des- pite their sacred calling, were just as anxious to live as anybody else. “To prevent any chance of escape, we took off our flowing robes, tore them into strips, and bound our guides to ourselyes. It was a good thing we ‘did so, for before long we plunged into darkness so thick that its velvety softness seemed to suffo- cate us. “you will hardly believe me, but for two whole days and nights we stumbled in thar awful darkness without food or ‘rest, except now and again when we fell exhausted. All that time we could see nothing, but ‘here were awful noises from unseen animals, roars and yells and cries of pain. ““Loathsome, greasy reptiles were under our feet, the clammy rocks seemed to ba alive with them. Yet they did us no harm; indeed, their sole object seemed to be’ to get out of our way. Sometimes great cyes gleamed at us, but those eyes were ever filled with a terror greater than eur own. “After a bit this sense of fear pass- ed away. Had we been alone, had we possessed no hope of ultimate salva- tion, the unseen horrors of the place would have driven us mad. We should have wandered on until we had drop- ped hopelessly insane and_ perished. Even a man utterly devoid of imagi- nation could not have fought off the mad terror of it all. As for me, I will never forget it.” Tchigorsky paused and wiped his forehead. trey could see that the latter was trembling like a leaf. “We came to the end of it at length,” Tchigorsky went on. “W> came to light and a long desolate val- ley whence We proceeded into an arid desert.

A BRIGHT TOBACCO OF THE FINEST QUALITY to have shot them, but we refrained. It would have saved a deal of trouble. They were not less dangerous than mad dogs. “We got into communication with our giudes and servants in a day or two, and there ended the first and most thrilling volume of our adven- tures. How the Princess Zara has persecuted us ever since you know, And how we are going to turn the tables on that fiend of a woman you also know.” There was a long silence after Tehigorsky had finished and dusk he- gan to fall. Geoffrey looked out of the window towards the sea, Suddenly he started. “Blobber Rock,” he gasped. “Cover- ed! Not a vestige of it to be seen? Ir is high spring tide today. the high- est of the month, and I had forgotten all about it.” “What difference does it make?" Tchigorsky asked, : “It fills the underground — caves,” THE ADVANCE, Canada’s Part | American Paper Believes That Can- ada’s Part in the War is a Far- Seeng Defensive Pro- ceeding As a nation living and progressing \along the line of personal liberty and the individual initiative, and desiring and insisting upcn the opportunity to \develop ourselves in peace, we are | profoundly interested in the heroic support that Canada is giving to tne allied cause, which in many ways rep- resents the things that we most care \for as a nation, In this respect at jleast the United States; is, as Mr. De- pew put it “associated with Canada.” The Canadian confederation is like another self to the American union, Ir is an instructive thing to study the influences which underlie Canada’s action in this crisis. It is not so many years since the London Times, Geoffrey cried. “We have locked the doors of the lower vault, and in that vault are the two Asiatics waiting | the orders of their mistress.

Ralph seemed to di- vine what was in his mind. The re- ply scemed incontinent, but Tchigor- sky understood. “Ali the other caves are practical- ly beyond high water mark,” he said. “What Geoffrey says is correct and our forgetfulness has saved the hang- mana job. But wouldn't it be well to make sure?” Tehigorsky was of that opinion. “No need to alarm the household,” he said. “Geoffrey shall procure a lantern, and | will come and assist in the search. I don't want to be seen just yet; but it really does not inuch matter, as there is no.need for furth- er concealment. If-+these men are drowned, they are drowned, and that is an end of the matter. In any case, we have the chief culprit by the heels.” It was possible, after all, to reach the vaults without being seen. Geof- frey procured a lantern and the party set out. When they were at the bot- tom of the steps they could hear the sea slashing and beating on the walls and sides of the vault. A great wave slipped up as the door opened, Geoffrey bent down with the lantern in his hand. For some time hey searched the boiling spume without} success. “Can you see anything?” asked Tehigorsky. “Nothing whatever,” said Geoffrey. ‘It is possible that they might not— Ah!” He shuddered as he raised the ligl-t. | The spume ceased to boil for a mo-| ment, then a stiff, rigid hand crept: horribly from the flood. <A brown! sodden face followed.

This seems incredible to Canadians, who, in many instances, spend that much a week to supply Twenty-five dollars will buy ten bags of flour and one bag of flour is more than sufficient to keap one Belgian mother, wife or child from) want a month. > pince this has become known a number of Canadians have one lump sum, but $2.59—one bag of flour—a month for ten months to the Belgian Relief Committee of Mont- real.

The situation bas never been as ‘had as it is now, according to informa- tion from the officials in Belgium. was starvation so imminent as gow.

Jiad we not, however, a right to feel that back of such sane counsel was a strong, brave government which would always ngi.:tain American honor even ‘to action if necessary for American and man and nation and nation. We have remaina. as a people su- pinely quiescent under such a series of Ineiaents as have never before ir- ritated the patriotic spirit of any peo- ple without being soundly and thor- oughly resented and redressed. Ameriean self respect is being bar- tered through the means of high ‘sounding words for the flesh pots ot a temporary soft and delightful peace ana prosperity which we all so much love when it can be ours righteously. The pen is indeed mightier than the sword, except only when Wwe use our [pen and the other fellow uses his sword. i TI have always, until the historical lrecord of the past few years, especicl- ily the last eighteen months, been {proud of being an American. I had ‘felt that there was no serious blot ‘upon our record as a nation. I nad felt that I could uravel the world ‘around and be respected as an Ameri- ‘ean by reason of what our generation ‘and those gone before had written in- {to the records of the United States of j America, sometimes even with the +good red blood of reat men. | ‘Today, however, on what can be {based a feeling of pride in being an American, in view or recent history? The tragedy of Mexico, intontrovert- ibly trom the records of George Ilar- vey in the North American Review, is a pitiful picture of American dishon- or. Yet it is a mere shadow to the great- er dishonor heaped upon us by the records of the European war. Do we really want to be a discredit- ed and dishonored nation? Do our people really understan@ what is being done to them as a whole? Do they know, I ask, that the honor of Ameri- cans is being sold for dishonorable quietude? Do they know that all the American people have striven for from the days of Washington through the times of y Lincoin and Mckinley is slipping ‘through our fingers? We are not a warlike people. Yet |we have never before in history lived j under a regime of “watchful waiting” ;or been counseled by our readers to be i“too proud to fight,” no matter what | the dishonor. If ever on carth was a man of peace, it was Lincoln. Yet not for a moment 'did he hesitate to meet the policy of )“blood and iron” like for like. We re- vere his sainted memory and we also revere the memory of the men who |fought against him. We hold in dis- (honor and disrepect the pacificists of that day, as we do ang will those of today. And now comes the sinking of the Persia. This incident is, however, of no moment. Our disgrace came with the murder of Belgium. We also had signed The Hague Convention. Our | disgrace attaches to the Lusitania, and our methods of asserting American- lism. Our disgrace thereafter comes ‘from Washington, D.C. Our governemnt has now reached ‘the point of “indemnity.” What is to 'be the price of dead Americans and of ‘the honor of our country? | Am I oversenstive in feeling that my lcelf respect as an American is weak- cned, has shrunken, is declining, is cven a thing of the past? Sometimes I wonder at our passiveness under in- sult. Why is it? I was brought up and trained in the liden that it was the duty of the gov- jernment to protect the rights of even ‘the most unimportant American wher- ever over the broad world he might ‘roam on business or pleasure. I was taught to believe it a duty to ;serve in the militia, to do my share jin serving the States and the Nation, ‘to stand for national self respect and domestic unity and Jaw and order.

I could hardly walk without help so when I read about the Vegetable Compound and what it had done for others I thought I would try it. I got a bottle of Lydia Ii. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and a package of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Sanative Wash and used them according to directions. They helped me and today Iam able to do all my work and Iam well.” —Mrs. Tuos. Dwyer, 989 Milwaukee Ave., East, Detroit, Mich. Bellevue, Pa.—*I suffered more than tongue can tell with terrible bearing down pains and inflammation. I tried several doctors and they all told me the same story, that I never could get well without an operation and IJ just dreaded the thought of that. I also tried a good many other medicines that were recommengled to me and none of them helped me until a friend advised me to give Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound a trial. The first bottle helped, I kept taking it and now I don’t know what it is to be sick any more and I am picking up in weight.

That Canada, practicing the arts of peace and in the full tide of happi- ness and prosperity, should be called on to raise an army of half a million men for active service would have surpassed belief two years ago. Only the terrible fact that the powers of Moloch threaten home and freedom could transmute a peaceful state like Canada into a formidable war- rior nation, a marvellous metamor- phosis indeed.

To pay, feed and fill the gaps in such an army is an in- entrance about the latter date greatly interfering with vessels. As to the ending of the navigation in the straits, Mr. Anderson states: During the past season after the} middle of September snowstorms were the order of the day, and this, credible task for a country like Can-| taken in conjunction with the ice ada to perform.

A Complete Breakdown After La GRIPPE It Leaves the Sufferer a Victim of Many Forms of Weakness Ask those who have had Ja grippe regarding the present condition o$ ‘their health and most ot them will an- swer “Since i had the grip I have never been well.” There is a persist- ent weakness of the limbs, bad dises- tion, shortness of breath and pa!pita- tion of the heart caused by the thin- blooded condition in which grip al- ways leaves its victims after the fever and influenza have — subsided. They are at the mercy of relapses and complications, often very serious. This condition will continue until the blood is built up again, and for this purpose nothing can equal a_ fair treatment with Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, which quickly make the blood rich and red, drive the lingering germs from the system and transform despondent grip victims into cheerful, healthy, happy men and women, Mr. John Battersby, London, Ont., says: “Just before Christmas, 1914, I was taken down with an attack of !a grippe, and the trouble left me in a deplorable condition. I was almost too weak to walk about, as I was then working on a farm in Western On- tario, I was quite unabie to follow main difficulty in the way of ; cases and injuries of children as well as of adults.

In France this new force might be described as franctireurs, though the title would not be altogether approp- riate; in Spain it would be called guerilleros; in the Balkans comit- adijis, though here, again, the title would not altogether fit them.

It is im- possible to give any rule that will be at all accurate as allowances must be made for the time the hay has been sattling and the kind of grass. The usual method is to determine the ap- proximate height and width and length of the stack and in this way find the number of cubic feet. The number of cubic feet in a ton varies from 400 to 500, depending on the kind of hay, its degree of ripeness when cut, the height of the stack, etc. For timothy and clover hay in mod- erate size stacks about 500 cubic feet is required to make a ton of well set- tled hay. Prairie hay and slough hay are somewhat heavier and from 400 to 450 cubic teer will make a ton. The United States department of agricul- ture gives the following method of determining the number of cubic feet in w hay stack: Multiply the over- throw (the distance in feet from the sround on one side of the stack over the stack to the ground on the other side, by .31, and then by the length and by the width. This is probably a little more accurate than to try to determine the average height and width.—Montreal Family Herald.

Manitoba's Fisheries Fisheries have not in the general run of business been considered an important factor in the commercial figuring of the province of Manitoba, but the fish production in the province during the last five years has totalled $4,826,071, not very far short of $35,- 090,000. The fish eatch of the proy- ince during the past five years has been valued as follows: DOUG case alee S.4 sith tenn heats hiss 1911 sae seone seceeeeeees 1,302,779 VOLE: isin teeeeeeeeeeeeees D115, 486 1913 .ecceeee fences tee eeees 890,149 14 ...... eee eeeeeesevoee 606,272 $4,826,071 This fish has all been produced by the inland lakes and rivers of Mani- itoba and it is believed that there will be a big inerease in the production from the prairie provinces during 1916 more especially in the lakes of the Peace River country and in various parts of northern Manitoba which are now being brought closer to civiliza- tion by rai!lway transportation.

The new line will connect Novonikolaievsk on the Trans-Siberian railroad with Semi- palatinsk in the Steppes Provinces. It will pass through Marnaul, in the omsk government of Siberia, which will be the headquarters. The rail- road is 5(0 miles long, and will serve the richest agricultural and mineral regions of Siberia. In the Altai re- are valuable deposits of gold, silver, lead, zinc and copper which were worked in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, but were} subsequently abandoned, owing to lack of transportation facilities among other causes. The region also contains the exceedingly rich Kuz- netz coal basin, 6,000 miles in ex- tent. The Senator and the Major were walking up the avenue. The Senator Was more than middle aged, and con- siderably more than fat, and, dearly is the Major loved him, he also loved his joke.
