An Inter est ng Lecture,

The Rev. J. L Smith. of Pittsburg,
lectured In the English Lutheran Church
on Tuesday evening last. on the subject of
The Pilgrim Fathers" He told the
history of these fore-fathers who landed on
Plymouth Rock, December 25 1920. in an
interesting and eloquent manner, the
canse of their leaving the old country,
their perils at sea in the ship Mayfower,
their risls after the landing on the bleak
and rocky shores of New England. then in-
habited by the Indians only, their religi
ous faith, perseverance ana sutferings.
were all brought to view by the lee urer.
From these Pilgrim Fathers we date the
very origin of freedom in religio US belief in
this country as well as the foundation of
our free institutions. The lesson sought to
be enforced in the lecture was the great
debt our present great Republic of the
United States owes to the Pilgrim
Fathers 1t would interest any audience
and many here whe heard it could listen
TO it again with pleasure and profit The
lecturer was introduced to the audience b,

Low Rate Excursions to Washington, D.
c., via Pennsylvania Railroad.

The two remaining excursions to the
capital will be run On March 22d and April
l9'h, and Judging from the extensive pat
r"nsge accorded previous trips there is
every likelihood of there being even u
greater number OF people who will avail
themselves of the extremely low rate in eff
feet tor this popular series. The entertain
meut afforded BY visit to the handsomest
city in the Union, aud the educational
benefits following an inspection of the
architectural achievements aud other at
fractions there, will more than repay the
journey which, IN any event, is rendered
exceedingly pleasant by the admirable
train service OF the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company.

RUPTURE

Cannot always be cured. but a
properly fitting Truss will do
more toward curing you than any
thing else. A small rupture is
more dangerous than a lage one
but is more readily held in place.
Quite number of persons who
have been fitted by US have been
entirely cured, but this is not al
ways the case. The sooner we
have them visit us after finding
they are ruptured the more hope
of complete cure. We make a
specially of Trusses for both
ladies and gentlemen, and give di-
rections for private meas lrement
for the former. Al, cases consid-
cred strictly Pyfpate. Buying
Trusses by mail from some person
who says he can cure you is on
parallel with the number of cures
there are for consumption. If you
have had trouble in being fitted
elsewhere let us try what we can
do tor you.

What the Commissioner of Education Has
to Say of "Wild Flowers of America,

Mr.. VT. Harris, United States Com
missioner of Education, has good word
to say of "Wild Flowers of America
and comments very highly of the work
as popular educator, as follows:
II have examined the plates of the
Wild Flowers of America collected and
edited by Mr.. g. III. Buck published IN
parts. The illustrations show
the coloring, shape and size of the flow
ers as they grow. Nothing that has come
under my notice is to be compared with
this publication for the purpose of edu-
eating the people in knowledge of
botany. The price, too, is so lowtas to
place the work at the command of every
family in the country, and at least every
school will place set of these illustra-
tions in it's reference library.
Any publisher who reproduces in a
book from the material of science, and
at a. cheap price, is public beDefactor
The publisher of this work seems to de-
servesthe gratitude of all those interested
in the study of botany. 1t is emphati-
cally work for home study"
No work has met with such an enthu-
siastic reception for years as this series,
wherever it has been introduced. The
plates are accurate and the colors are
true to nature and not gaudy, like MANY
attempted reproductions in colors. The
price is ridicuIously low for such a col
lection. Part is now ready.
