Joe" tells The Tribune that the
crop season of 1910 has been one
of the most prosperous in the
history of the province of Onta
rio, grains of all kinds having re
turned record yields, as also the
product of her orchards, as well
as all manner of root crops. The
people of Ontario generally are
on easy street, and more espec
ially does this apply to the agri
culturists, and as prosperity be
gets happiness, in the majority
of cases, at least, then it can
truthfully be said that the farm
ers of Upper Canada are indeed
a happy and contented lot. Our
i ends visited at numerous
points in the old province, as well
as in Manitoba, and also at St.
Cloud and other Minnesota
points, and everywhere were
noted evidences of good times
and the general satisfaction with
the people themselves and with
the world at large that such en
viable conditions beget.

Miss Helen Kingston received
a letter a few days ago from her
mother, dated at Deitrich, Idaho.
Aug. 20, in which Mrs. K. says
the family, including herself,
Mr. Kingston and one or more of
the children, are comfortably set
tled in a new shack erected for
their accommodation on the claim
near Deitrich, on which they
have five acres cleared and they
expected to put the water on that
within a few very days.
"We are only 400 feet from the
main ditch, which is a big river,
so that we will never need for
water," writes Mrs. Kingston.
They set fire to the sage brush,
which Mrs. K. says burns like
shavings. This work, as well as
the clearingand breaking,is being
done for them by Joe Culbertson,
who will also seed the five acres
to oats and from which they will
get a crop yet this season. Mr.
Kingston is yet very feeble and
does not get far from the house,
as he cannot stand the shaking
up generally experienced in rid
ing and his condition will not ad
mit of his taking a walk for any
considerable distance. Mrs. K.
says, however, that her husband
is improving fast. They have
very nice neighbors, and this fact,
coupled with the fine climate,
makes all take kindly to the
country.

Not Tending to Business.
A country doctor was recently called
upon to visit a patient some way
from bis office. Driving to where the
sick man lived, he tied his borse to a
tree in front of the house and started
to walk across the ground. It hap
pened that work was in progress on a
new well, of which the doctor knew
nothing until be found himself sink
ing into the earth. He fell just far
enough to be unable to get out of the
hole unassisted and lustily, yelled for
help.
When he was finally pulled up the
hired man remarked to him:
"1 say. doc, you had DO business
down there."
"No 1 don't think I had," replied
the doctor.
"Don't you know," continued the
hired man, "you ought leave the well
alone and take care of the sick?"—
