The many friends in this city of Mr..
A. W. Macrea, formerly of this city, but
now Of Little Falls. Mimi, were pleased
to see him this week. He came down
for a few days visit with the Ogilvies.
After the holidays he, with his wife,
will make an extensive visit here. Mr..
Macrae is now gaining in strength and
flesh, and though suffering considerable
pain in the arm it is healing nicely. Mr..
Macrea WAS 4 mile and half away from
any person or house when the accident
al discharge of his gun shot his hand off,
and be Was obliged to hold the bleeding
wrist as tight as possible and walk that
distance, when he arrived he dropped
on the sidewalk, sick, faint and very
weak from loss of blood. The arm had
to be amputated quite aways above the
wrist as the flesh and bone were in
such a shattered condition that moth
ing else could be done. We are glad
that he is getting along so well.
We acknowledge pleasant call on
Monday Of this week from Mr.. Bowen
of Minneapolis, but formerly from our
old home of Winnebago City, Mimi.
Mr.. Bowen is about to move with his
wife 10 Montana, where several children
are located and doing well. 1t Is 4
pleasure to meet Old friends and review
the events in the years that have past
since last we met.
The choir at the Thompson avenue
VI. Z. church have great reason to be
thankful. They were recently pre-
scented with set or beautiful hardwood
highbacked chairs, which add much to
their comfort as well as to the ap-
pearance of the choir place.
The Youngest son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Robb is seriously i'll with brain trouble.
This little fellow seems to be having

The Ladies' Home Journal for 1897

An even excellence makes the good
promises unusually interesting and
strong. The list is long and sturdy.
One series of papers 4 one would sell
the magazine: that is the three White
House articles which ex-Presldent Har-
rison is TO write. No man has ever done
what General Harrison will do III these
articles: show US what "A Day With
the President at His Desk" means in
one article; in another tell of The
Social Life of the President" and in 3
third article describe g Upstairs Life in
the White House" Each of the arti-
cles will be profusely illustrated. An
other series equally fascinating is the
one called "Great Personal Events, "
in which some of the greatest enthusi.
asms which have occurred in America
will be revived: those wonderful times
when Louis kossuth rode up Broadway !;
when the young Prince of Wales was
here; when Jenny Lind Sang in Castle
Garden; when Henry Ward Beecher
electrified his congregation by selling
slaves in his pulpit; when Grant went
round the world; when Henry Clay
babe farewell to the senate; when John
Wesley preached in Georgia, of which
so few know. All these memorable
events and others will be wildly re-
called, told more graphically than ever
before, and Illustrated with pictures
which have occupied twelve artists for
over year. A third series is unique
and valuable from the fact that it will
give women scores of ideas for their
homes. 1t will reveal what there is
Inside of a Hundred American
Homes" and carefully reproduced pic

nished rooms in homes in this country
from Maine to California-where taste
has gone further than money. Besides
these departments above mentioned
there are many other interesting fea-
turss planned for the Home Journal
the coming year. Altogether, no ma
gazine gives list of attractions so inter
esting and promising as does The La
dies Home Journal, and certainly no
periodical does it, as does The Journal,
for only one dollar per year. fit has
become a fad. as it seems, for every
girl and woman TO take this magazine,
it is an excellent one, and unlike many
other fads, sensible one. The Journal
is published by The Curtis Publishing
Company, OF Philadelphia.

Help for the Armenlans.

At the National ". c. T. L. conyen-
ton was passed pledging the help of the
society to relieve the suffering of these
ancient Christian people of Armenia.
Christian people generally are similarly
disposed if there was only some Conven-
lent medium through which their help
may pass Accordingly the East End
w. c. I. [. has arranged 4 mass meet
ing to be held in the Thompson avenue
NJ. f. church, next Tuesday evening,
the 18th inst. An excellent program
has been prepared and no one should
miss it. Rev. Putnam Cady, whose
visit in the East is still fresh in our
memory, will speak on The Armenian
People" and Rev. j. II. Mason, whose
daughter has spent two years in the
prosecuted district, will speak on the
condition of affairs in the interior, and
will, no doubt be able to tell US much
that we could not learn from newspap-
ers. Rev Messrs. TuIl and Allison will
also take part in the exercises and good
music will be furnished. A collection
will be taken and we trust there will be
a hearty response as the need is great.
Miss Willard and Lady Henry SOmer-
set spent several weeks in Marsai!les, in
the south of France, working for the
comfort and endeavoring to provide
homes for the refugees who were fortu
nate enough to reach that place. Many
of these have been provided for, some
of them finding homes in our own land.
But what must be the condition Of
thousands who have been deprived of
everything by the relentless Turk, and
who with hearts already torn with
anguish, find starvation staring them III
the face. We in this blessed land of
liberty and plenty Notwithstanding hard
times have had our Thanksgiving, and
not the least of the many mercies call
ing for gratitude has been the perfect
freedom of each to worship according
to his own conscience, none daring TO
make us afraid. Many of US are prom
Using ourselves a portion of Christian
cheer. Could we do anything better
than to deny ourselves something that
We may help to relieve the untold suf-
ferings of our Armenian brothers and
sisters? We of Superior should have
special interest when one who has gone
in and out amongst us has for two years
held alott the banner OF Christ at the
peril of her life. Let there be a good
audience.

Library Matters.

At a meeting of the library board the
other day the committee having in hand
the financial part of the library sub
United their report and it was adopted.
The committee recommended that the
magazines be continued and that the
library be kept open until July, as there
were funds enough to carry them along
up to that time if all other expenses
were cut off. The appeal from Haw-
thOrne asking that service might be
established whereby the people there
might have the benefit of the books was
denied, as it was not within the power
of the Law governing the board to grant
the request. Something should be
done in behalf of our country readers
by those in our city interested in and
in touch with the circulating libraries
which are now doing such excellent
work in the state Who will move in
the matter and thus secure the graft
tude of the many who would gladly inn
prove the opportunity of securing good
books and magazines?

Wedding Bells.

At the residence of Mr. and Mrs. \.
Ct. West, on West 10th street, Dec. 9th,
at 3 pm, the eldest daughter of Mr..
and Mrs West, Miss Alice, was married
to John 4. Sidney, our popular AmerI-
can Express agent, by the Rev. A. L.
Tull, pastor of the NJ. f.. church. Only
Mrs. Sidney were present. Mr.. and
Mrs. Sidney were the recipients of
many useful and pretty presents. After
refreshments short time was spent
socially. To say We were surprised at
the event would not be true, for We
have looked for the happening these
many moons, and now wish them an
uninterrupted life of happiness.

The charming little actress, Miss
Matte NiCkers, and her excellent COM
pany Will appear at the Grand Wednes-
day, Dec. 10th in her great comedy sue
cess "Jacquine." She is most kindly
remembered by the Hinkley sufferers,
to whom she donated the proceeds of
her last engagement in Duluth, which
was at the time of the Hlnkley fire and
cyclone. She is as brilliant and pOpu-
lar on the stage, as she is noble and
generous off the stage. The Press in all
parts OF the country speak OF her in the
highest terms, the following is an ex-
ample.
\ more delighted audience than that
which sat in the Peoples Theatre last
night was never seen on the East side
Of the metropolis. The occasion was
the presentation of comedy entitled
"JacQuine," and the advent here of
Miss Matte NICkers in the title role.
The play is exceedingly clever i'll the
fact that it gives the pretty, charming,
clever actress opportunity to do hun
dred and one things cute, winsome and
amusing. A better vehicle to display
Miss Nickcrs' unquestioned ability could
not be constructed. From the beginning
to the end she charmed all by her
bright face, fauItless figure, cunning
ways, grace, naturalness and comedy
talent. She is lady of rare talent and
worthy to occupy the highest rank in
her profession.

How to Keep Wrinkles Away.

A simple preventative against the APP
pearance of wrinkles is this: Saturate 4
soft towel in very hot water, wiring it
and apply it to the face, keeping it
there for at least twenty minutes. Then
dry the face very gently. This must be
done just before going to bed. When
travelling, if the skin is very sensitive,
do not battle the face except at night
and in the morning, and then throw q
few drops of tincture of benzoin into
the water, so that it may be soft and
agreeable to the skin.-December
