FOREIGN MISSION WORK.

The following report OF the services
at the Baptist church was unavoid-
ably crowded out of last evenings
issue:
Miss Ella MacLaurin, under the APP
pOintment to the Foreign Fields, spoke
at the Baptist church Sunday morn-'
ing in the interest of Foreign Mis-
sionS. She received her appointment
to the Mission fields of western China
some two years ago, but was unable to
90 on account of poor health. Her
subject was "COnSecratiOn," which
she treated in a twO-fold manner.
First, self-surrender, and second, self
assertion. The example from the
scriptures was of Moses: first unwill-
ing to go to the court Of Pharaoh to
seek the deliverance of the ISraeliteS,
and second unwilling to speak because
he suffered. Consequence, Moses a
stammerer all his lifetime, and be-
cause he used that stammering tongue
once too often. was not allowed to en-
ter the Promised Land. She said an
example of the lack of Self-asSertiOn
and it's consequence is seen in the con-
ditiOn of the Southern women who
are not allowed to speak in religious
services. Last year in the South, with
a membership of 2. 100000, the church
attempted to raise 100000 for mis-
sions: they failed raising less than
$250,000. In the North, with mem
bership of 100000, they wished to raise
81 100000, and closed the year with
81, 010, 405. 06 to their credit. They re-
ceived more from the Women Circle
than from the churches. The ladies
of the Mankato Baptist church have
never failed to meet their appOrtion-
ment. This year it will be hard
pull, not only for the ladies Of this
church, but for all the churches on
account of the financial stringency.
We must not fail, the work is to i'm
pOrtant to be retarded for the want of
a little sacrifice on our part. Miss
MacLaurin is very impressive
speaker, and instilled her audience
with strong conviction of the needs
of the Foreign Field. The collection
and pledges at the close of the service
amounted to S40.95.

FRED WIDELL'S ESTATE.

Gus Widell was Monday appointed
special administrator of the estate of
his brother, Fred, in order that the
business of the firm might be carried
on until permanent administrator is
appointed. The widow, Anna
Charlotte Widell today filed her ap-
plication for the appointment of her
self as permanent administrator. The
heirs, the widow, and son, Gustaf
F., aged ten years, and a daughter
Anna Robertina, aged eight years.
The personal property is estimated
at $40, 600, and includes $4,000 of life
insurance in the New York Life, half
of the machinery in the quarries, and
notes and bills receivable, and stock
in the Mankato Mercantile Co. The
real estate foots up S25, 000 divided as
follows: Mercantile Co.'S store, $1,000:
two quarries, $4,000: and a farm in
Sweden, $4,000. After all liabilities
have been paid there will still remain
$4,000.
Mrs. Widell owns the homestead on
N Broad street, and the $1,000 of life
insurance which Mr.. Widell carried in
the Odd Fellows was made payable to
his wife. The latter will receive an
income from the Mercantile store, and
will also receive a royalty on all stone
taken from the quarries under the
terms of the lease to the Widell Bros,
besides her share of the firms profits.
This will put her in good circum-
stances. Fred Widell estimated that
the royalties would eventually amount
to SSO,O00
When Mr.. Widell was in Sweden
year or two ago, for the benefit of his
health, he purchased farm with
fine old mansion, near the seashore,
and intended eventually to 90 there
to live. He looked forward to this
with great deal of pleasure.

sClATlC RHEUMATISM,
Wow a Prominent Kentuckian SUI.
fered With IL, His Cure a Mar
yelous one.

Few men in Kentucky are better
known than Hon. John NJ Rice, OF
Louisa, Lawrence Co., late circuit
judge of the sixteenth judicial district
of Kentucky, and few men in that, or
any other state, have passed through
a more remarkable experience and
live to tell the tale.
About six years ago he was attacked
with sciatic rheumatism which devel.
oped so fast that he soon lost all con
troll of his legs. His whole system be.
came deranged and he was indeed q
physical wreck. The muscles of his
limbs We're reduced by atrophp to mere
strings and he felt that his life was
gradually wearing away. Eminent
physicians were consulted and all
known means of relief employed with.
out avail, and 1t indeed seemed as
though Kentucky was to loose one OF
her most valued citizens.
Ii was ut this time that Judge Rice
first heard of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People. He promptly applied
them to his own case and as a result

regained the power Of his limbs, his
appetite returned and nature again
performed her functions properly. The
above case was investigated and
vouched for by the covington Post.
and stands as one of the,hnost remark
able cures known IN the annals OF
medicine.
No discovery in medicine has created
more discussion, both in medical cir
cles and in the newspapers. than DR.
Williams Pink Pills. The many re.
markable stories that have been pub
lishcd of the cures effected by these
pills have brought them into the great,
est prominence both in this country
and abroad They have been analyzed
by some of the most eminent chemists
| and it has been ascertained that they
are an unfailng specific for such dis
eases as locomotor ataxia, partial
paralysis, ST yitus dance, sciatica

ache. the after effects Of la grippe, pal
pitation Of the heart, pale and sallow

such as suppressions. irregularities.

WHAT NAPOLEON MISSED.
Two Military Critics Who Are Unable
to Agree on the Battle Of Waterloo.

One wonders what would have hap
pened had Napoleon been able to
avail himself ut Waterloo Of the adj
vice of two such competent military
critics as General j Watts de Peyster
and John c. Ropes. Dir. Ropes would
have assured him that his arrange
ments for the battle We're perfectly de-
signed and sure of decisive success.
General de Peystcr would have insist
ed that he must launch column of
crushing weight against the English
left, interposing declsiyely between
Wellington and Blucher, or make
vigorous demonstration against the
British center and less vigorous enc
against the British right instead of
that Napoleon failed at Waterloo be-
cause he was not vigorously sup
ported by his subordinates; General de
Peyster argues that 1t was his own
physical weakness that lost the bat
tie to the conqueror Of Europe. Mr.
Ropes holds that the arrangements of
Butcher and WlotinngleMethvo dpd
Butcher and Wellington were very de-
fectiye and that the allies were only
saved from ruin by series Of acct
dents and the extreme remissness OF
Ney. Soult and Grouehy on the morn
ing OF the 18th. Even General de
Peyster, while he crlticises Napoleon,
refuses credit to Wellington. 1t was
old Marshal Norwarts" who did the
business. He says: 1t is the truth
and that is glory enough for him and
his troops that they held their own so
long against such terrible odds. Blu
cher decided, and, therefore, techni-
cally as well as virtually, won the
battle and cleaned as well as gath

/ gent opinions declared by the Boston
and the New York critics Of war, In

MAJ oT4EoN's TABLE MANNERS.
He Ate Rapidly and Cared Little What
Was Placed Before Him.

In recent article in the Figaro de-
tails are given regarding the dishes
which Napoleon ate and his execrablc
table manners.
The emperor says the writer,
who understood how TO tickle the pal
ates of his foreign guests with the fin
est dinners was himself TOO
material to enjoy the pleasures of n
fine table and too lively TO devote the
time necessary to them. Ia Guiperc,
the rival of Boucher and Careme, was
in the service OF the emperor as chef.
The emperor almost made him desper-
aee by the irregularity of his meals
As soon as he was hungry his appe-
tite had to be satisfied, and the scgv-
ice had TO be SO arranged that ut every
place and 1T any time game, outlets,
coffee, etc, could be set before him
Zen on twelve minutes were necessary
for Napoleon 10 take breakfast; his
dinner lasted at the longest one half
an hour. He ate quickly and in very
bad form. His custom to swallow his
meals without proper mastication
caused him much trouble with his
stomach. As Il rule he breakfasted at
10 O'Clock and dined between Z and
s o'clock. He usually ate his meals
alone ut mahogany gueridon
small round table with one leg.
He never used a napkin. and often
IN his hurry used his fingers instead
of spoons and forks. He also even
used his fingers to help himself from
the large dishes served, and loved to
dip pieces Of bread in the dressing
He even did this at times when he
had guests. ana then allowed the dish
TO be passed to the others. No one
could show disgust at this exhibition
Napoleon always wished to have
fine bread He disliked highly season
ed dishes. He manifested a slight
preference for leg of lamb and outlets.
OF vegetables he cared only for beans
and lentils. He ate from silver plates.
and in 1906 ordered 1000 OF them at
once. He often visited the market
with Duroc to learn the price of sugar
and other things. He drank little.
Half bottle of wine. with ice was
sufficient for him. He was not wine
expert Champagne enlivened him. but
he touched it seldom. At night time
he liked coffee, with milk, chocolate.
punch or lemonade. ON the field Of
battle he ate, as far as possible, as he
did in the Tuileries."

Here's a box of soda -mints which
