II think" Hall Game says, that I
know my Bible as few literary men know
it, There is no book I'm the world like
it,, and the finest novels ever written
fall far short in interest OF any one of
the stories it tells. Whatever strong sit
uations l have in my books are not of my
creation, but are taken from the Bible.
The Deemster' is the story of the prodi-
gal son. The Bondman is the story of
Esau and Jacob, though I'm my version
sympathy attaches to Esau. The Scape-
goat is the story of ELI and his sons,
but with Samuel as a little girl. The
Manxman' is the story of DAWN and
Uriah. My new book also comes out of
the Bible, from a perfectly startling
source"

Trinity Mission, Monroe, Wisconsin,
Nov. 10, 1S95.-My Dear Sir: The DR.. Char

Mr.. G. J. Borup, for many years gem
eral agent of the Erie lines in the north
west and one of st. Paul's most popular
citizens, for years has been a sufferer
from insomnia in spite Of the fact that
he tried a number of the most celebrated
remedies The merits of DR. Charcot's
Kola Nervine Tablets were urged upon
him and after using one box he writes:
my sleep was formerly spasmodic and
fitful-now ! enjoy sound and refreshing
slumber. while nervousness has almost
disappeared. The change in my general
health since taking DR.. Chareot's Kola
Nervine Tablets has been remarkable and
am better, physically, than I have been

Reason In the Lower Animals.

We have fox terrier whose happi-
ness was complete until Dodgerfield
came. She is very affectionate, conse-
quently very jealous. If looks and
growls would kill, Dodgerfeld would
die many times a day. Both dogs eat
from the same plate, but not at the
same time. One day last week we fed
Dodgerfield first. The fox terrier was
very hungry and begged hard for first
dinner. Dodger seemed to eat more
slowly than usual, and Nettie watched
dolefully.
Finally hunger got the better of her
honesty, and she barked sharply three
short banks. Dodger left his plate and
sprang to the window, looking excitedly
up and down the road. Nettie looked
neither to the right nor the left, but
made straight for the plate of food as
soon as Dodgers back was turned. If
this was not an exhibition of reason and
human intelligence, then mankind in
general possesses a large degree of ami
NAL instinct. Dog Fancier.

More Time Granted.

A. E. Smith presented an amend
ment to the ordinance granting the
North Central Telephone Co. fran
chise, extending from six to ten
months from the passage of the ordi-
nance the time to have the plant in
operation. The six months would eX-
pire Jan. I'd.
Aid. Himmelman said that Mr..
Haight was in the city that day and
left word that the North Central &C.
has not dollar in the present work,
and that it's talk is all buncome, and
that it wants the extension OF time
and do nothing as it is doing at
Waterville and elsewhere.
Mr.. Smith said that the alderman
was not posted. The cOmpany's plans
had been upset by the financial uncer-
tainty previous to election and work
delayed. He had every reason to be-
lieve that the North Central Co.
would 90 ahead at once and complete
it's plant. The Blue Earth Valley Co.
is setting the poles now but is under
contract to turn them over to the
North Central Co.
Aid Andrews said that he would
