A Lion Among Ladies Elopement Comedy in Forest Park
In this early 1900s vignette by Helena Smith Dayton, sisters Lilly and Tilly run a Googan elopement service serving Mollie Eastman and her fiancé Reginald Davenport. When a dramatic park scene erupts with roars and a panic, Reginald proves braver than Mollie’s fashionably dramatic mood, and Mollie’s father Peter Q. Eastman finally accepts the match after a comic chase.

Western Canada a Winner in 1907 Crop Returns
A survey of Western Canada crops shows strong soil and sunny conditions boosting yields and profits. Saskatchewan wheat value listed at 21.1 million, with Manitoba oats, barley, and wheat yielding high per-acre returns in multiple towns. Instances include Gladstone, Meadow Lea, Oak Lake, and Portage la Prairie. Reports from Lloydminster and Shehaha note high oat yields and good wheat bushels per acre. The piece also notes the year 1907 largely escaped severe winter and late spring impacts, and invites readers to request the Last Best West from a Canadian Government Agent.
