Dear Sir: You want to know how 1 got along since 1 came into Northern Alberta. 1 am happy to intorm you that 1 am not ashamed to tell. We located five miles northeast of Wetaskiwin: left Farmington, Wash., on the 21lth day of May. driving all the We had time to , build our way. log house the first fall, and to make us comfortable fur the family and stock. We then built four stables, 18x 20 inside, so that we could put everything inside them wdien the cold got down to the Fifties, and worked hard getting up the stables, and got through dubbing on the 1st of December; but, to our surprise, we had no use for the stables only for the milk cow and two spans of horses. The balance of the horses lived on the prairie all winter, and took eaie of th. msches. The doors of two stables wen it ft open for them to go into in a cold time, but they would riot do it, but stayed out on the prairie ihe coldest night we had and looked as spry as crickets. I can go ten rods back of my house and count ten residents. . I know all of their circumstances. Every one of them have doubled their cultivated land, and doubled their animals, and a great deal more. All of us are comparatively out of debt and an unusually big crop to thresh and prospects of a fair price, and 1 expect we are as well contented a lot of people as there is to be found from Florida to the Klondike. My son bought two pounds of twine to the acre, and when we started to bind some bailey we found that instead of taking two pounds to the acre, It was taking nearly five pounds. Then you ought to have seen hira hitch up a team and make for town for 100 pounds more. 1 cannot say how it will thresh. All I can say is that it is and takes an cnoimous amount of twine.

Tildtn's estate on the Hudson river, familiarly known to Americans as Greystone, is at present undergoing repairs which will materially change its appearance both inside and outside. Samuel Untermycr is the owner of the property, and lie contemplates spending several hundred thousand dollars in making improvements. Originally Greystone cost $225,000, but when Mr. Untermycr puts bis plans into effect it will represent an outlay aggregating not less than $S50.000. When Mr, Untermycr bought Greystone, in June last, for $171,500, he also bought a tract of land in North Broadway, Yonkers, directly across from the old Tilden property, for $50, 500. The grounds surrounding Greystone come acres boi dering on the prise Hudson and this additional tract of fifty acres across the ro.nl. They include the water rights along the river, for upward of a mile. The old mansion stands on a bluff 450 feet above the river, commanding a view for miles up and down the Hudson and across Long Island sound. The building is about 150 feet long and fifty feet wide, anu the old gray stone walls, which are three feet thick, are about all that remain of the original building. Mr. has had the building completely done over inside. While the interior of the mansion has been taken out and practically an entirly new one substituted, the exterior of the building also has been considerably changed, a new roof, new cornices and a massive limestone and balcony having been substituted. The entrance hallway, which was about 100 feet long and thirty feet wide, has been altered, so that there now is a large vestibule of solid limestone, carved A piece of fiction entitled The Killwith a mosaic floor.

Ga., Letter.) Bereft of tlie brilliant husband who stood by her so chivalrously in her time of trial, Mrs. W. Y. Atkinson has embarked in the insurance business in order to be able to train her boys to emulate the example of a noble father. Not alone because she is the widow of a former governor of the state does her venture command sympathetic attention, but also because she is the first woman in this part of the country to enter into competition with the stronger sex in this branch of business. Mrs. Atkinson occupies a commanding social position in the south. Her great gifts and her personal charm, as well as her association with the husband whose untimely taking off will long be mourned here, have endeared her to all classes. Brave little woman that she is, she is not too proud to take advantage of the popularity for the sake of her youug sons and for their future, which she believes will be a bright and honorable one. At the desk in the south room of her home, wlmre she so cleverly directed William Yates Atkinsons first campaign for the governorship of Georgia, she now sits in her widows weeds, wrestling with tables and columns of figures, applying herself to the mathematical perplexities of life and fire insurance with the same womanly zeal that distinguished her when she mastered the problems of politics for the advancement of the man she WILL KEEP YOU DRY.
