Someone once wrote a sensational song about the "Light In tbe window for me," and ever since that time the light in the window" has figured in poetry and song to a greater extent* and in more sensational manner, than #fe? it is entitled to. The cold truth is that when there is a light in the window it means someone Is sitting up to give the last one to come in a scolding or advice about the good sense of going to bed earlier. A light in the window |i, is something that a nagged person nev tj§ er fails to see, and when his eyes first s$ see it in turning a corner he* gets a cold chill and: longs for a home in a 4 boarding house.

Tolman, of Lacombe, Al berta, N. W. T., a former resident of Cascla County, Idaho, who moved to Western Canada in July, 1894, writes I as follows: "I brought here thirty-four head of cattle, fifteen horses, two wagons, two sets of harness and one hundred and fifty dollars in cash. I homesteaded the southeast quarter of Section 28, Township 40, Range 26. west of the: 4th Meridian, also purchased a quarter section of Canadian Pacific Railway land. I have been farming more or less all my life, and I am convinced that you can raise crops 40 per cent cheaper here than where I came from. My capital at present, counting every thing, is about five thousand dollars. The yield of my grain all round In 1897 was 60 bushels per acre. This year (1898) yield of wheat per acre, 37Vs bushels, oats, SO bushelB, barley, 35, and potatoes, 400 per acre. I consider that this is a much better country for a man than where I came from, provided he is In dustrious. You get a free homestead here, and Canadian Pacific Railway lands are cheap and the terms easy. I have now made my seventh payment on tbe land purchased by me, and am much pleased with my purchase, as the land has already much more than paid' for Itself. School law here is decidedly ahead of where I came front, and there are schools wherever there ore set tlers." DR J. H. RINDLAUB, Specialist, Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat, Fargo, N. Dak.

The treaty of peace negotiated between the commis sioners of the United States and Spain at Paris was ratified by the United States senate, tlie vote-being 57 ayes to 27 nays, or one vote more tlian tne two-thirds majority necessary to se cure senatorial concurrence in a treaty document. The vote was taken in ex ecutive session, and until the injunc tion of secrecy was removed the in sult was supposed to be private, but the vice. president had no more than announced the figures than senators rushed out of every door leading l'rom the senate chamber, declaring that tlie treaty had been ratified. Some made the mistake of stating that there were three votes to spare. There was in fact only one vote more than was nec essary. No vote' has 'been taken in the senate since tbat on the repeal of tlie purchasing clause of the Sherman law th«t: has been followed with as close interest as was the vote of yesterday. This anxiety vas due not only to the magnitude of the question In advancc of the voting speeches were made by Senators Ross, Money and Fairbanks. Senator Stewart, who had just arrived from his successful campaign In Nevada .for re-election, announced Informally during this peri od of the session that in his entire trip across the continent he had not en countered one man who was opposed to the ratification of the treaty. Promptly at' 3 o'clock the vice presi dent interrupted Senator Money, who was then speaking, to announce that the hour had arrived for a vote. But one amendment was olfered, prepared by Senator Vest, placing the Philip pines on the same footing as Cuba in tlie treaty. The amendment was de feated.

Only the select fpw knew how Senators Mc Enery of Louisiana and Jones of Ne vada would vote half an hour-before their votes were cast, and not even these knew when the bells rang for the executive session at 2:15 o'clock. Many of the vast throng which was turned from the galleries after the doors were closed in response to Senator Davis' motion, gathered in the corridors, All Waiting Ennerly for the first news from the Inside. Within the chamber the interest was even more Intense. Very few senators left the chamber except those engaged in the cloak rooms in trying, on the one side, to gain votes for the treaty, and on the other,, to prevent a break in the ranks. Senators Aldrich, l-iodge and Elkins, who had given, their espe cial attention to securing the necessary votes to Insure ratification, were doubt ful of the result. when the secret ses sion began, while senators Uorman and Jones, leaders of the Opposition, con sidered their forces intact.. Half an hour afterward it was whispered about that Senator McEnery had been won oyer on condition that his declaration resolution should be adopted subse quent to the passage of the treaty. When this news was confirmed it was known that ratification wau assured, for Senator McLaurin had already an nounced his intention to vote for the treaty in view of the condition of af fairs at Manilla. Senator Jones went over at the last moment, making the vote one mote than was necessary. There was no applause when the re sult was announced, but many sena tors heaved a sigh of relief and rushed from the chamber to glv6 the news to the waiting.world.

Washington, Feb. 7—Yesterday was a day of excitement and severe strain in the senate. The fact that the treaty, was to be voted upon and that tlie re sult was hanging in the balance served to keep senators on both sides of tlie chamber at a high tension. Mr. Allen of Nebraska addressed the senate iii the morning hour in favor of the rati fication of the treaty but in opposition to expansion. Mr. Gorman followed with a notable speech, in the course of which lie took Mr. Wolcottr to task for some statements in the latter's syteecli a few days ago in which Mr. Uorman thought reference was made to him. After the ratification of the treaty the senate, in open session, took lip a joint resolution offered by Mr. McEnery de claring a policy for the Philippines, and an effort was made to adopt it, but the debate occupied so much time that the resolution went over until to day. The Ronse. Yesterday was suspension day in the house and quite, a number of bills were passed, several of them of importance. The census bill prepared by the house committee went through by a vote of 147 to 42. A bill was passed to extend the anti-contract labor laws over the Hawaiian islands, and another bill was passed to refer forty-four war claims for stores and supplies to the court of claims. A bill was passed to create a national military park on the site of the battle of Vicksburg also to grant 25, 000 acres of land in Alabama to the girls' industrial school of the state. Senate resolutions were adopted au thorising cadets from Costa Kiea and Colombia to enter Annapolis. LAST ACTS. Exchange of Ratifications and an American Proclamation. Washington, Feb. 8.—Secretary Hay will formally notify the Spanish gov ernmeat, through the French embassy, torday, that the treaty of Paris has been ratified by the United States sen ate. Upon receipt of this announce ment the Madrid government, will, it Is expected, convoke the cortes, and that body will immediately ratify the Instrument. It will then be incumbent upou the two governments to exchange ratifications, and this, under the terms of tbe treaty, must be performed Washington "within six months from the date hereof (Dec. 10, 1S»8) or earl ier, if possible." It will be the aim of this government to secure tlie exchange with the utmost dispatch In order that there can be no question of the sov ereignty of the United States over the Philiplnes. REMEMBER THE MAINE. American Women Will Decorate the Sailors' Graves. Havana, Feb. 8—The committee of American women organized to decorate the graves of the victims of the battle ship Maine met and decided to place a small flag and a wreath of flowers on the 147 graves and numerous wreaths of flowers upon the wreck.

There will be no formal services and .no speeches, but the soldiers will present arms. The women have de cided to organize a permanent Maine association to erect a monument in the cemetery. They will meet for this pur pose on Friday. ENGLISH OPINION. Filipinos Are Butting Their Heads Against a Stone Wall. London. Feb. 8.—The Times, In an editorial expression of its satisfaction at the ratification of the peace treaty bv the United States senate, says: "We presume the Americans will be in no hurry to establish their government in every corner of the islands, 'l^hey will more likely be content to make themselves secure at important points and to leave the rest to time. The Filipinos will tire of knocking their heads against a stone wall and by de grees they will discover that life is quite tolerable under Am'erlc .n admin istration." ", fTO PROTECT SOLDIERS.
