THE TALK OF THE CITY.
lbs of Interest TO Our Resders, Fe=
cause it Refers to Hankato People,

It's astonishing how good news will
spread. From every ward and street
we hear people talking about the work
ings of the little conqueror. Merit and
honorable methods receive their Just
reward. So many cases are cropping
up that it is next to impossible to in
vestigate them all, but we have taken
a few in hand and give them publicly
for the benefit of our readers. Our
representative obtained the following
statement of facts in a personal inter
view. They are true IN every particu-
lar and no stronger evidence can be
obteined than home endorsement
Mrs. Herman Fenske of 1904 First
Ave, says: | was troubled with at
tacks of backache and headaches ever
since little girl. Sometimes my back
was so weak and lame that it hurt me
very much to lift a light object A
cold nearly always brought on an at
tack and it was accompanied by tired
feeling mornings When lying down
it was painful to turn oyer and | did
not feel equal to the ordinary house
work. After my husband procured
Doan's Kidney Pills for me at the Seidle
Drug Co, and l took them I was better

est achievements known among men
have had their source in such deter.
limitations. Often however, these re.
suits are such as to contribute very
little to the general good of the race.
How desirable it is, that we should see
some of the energy which is wasted on
earthly, if not injurious things, dedi-
Gated to the cause ,of Christ, and the
salvation of the perishing. Every man
is placed in this world for some end,
ard should earnestly bend his powers in
this direction. When one has a lawful
calling, his course, to a certain extent,
is clear, and he may sail before the
wind. But over and above all trades
and professions, is the calling which
every man has to glorify God, by
spreading the truth and precept. Some
one has said. 1T is disgraceful to grow
old and still be beginning. Some are
always beginning. If they take few
rapid steps, they halt and change their
course" They run uncertainty. No
learning, no zeal, no talent, will insure
success, where there is no intelligent
aim. Dear Sunday workers, the time
is short, we can not afford to begin over
and over. A painless life is ignoble.
