The darkest Middle"

Taking a point near Mile Laos as
center, there is circle 40 miles wide
in which there is no preaching or other
Christian teaching. Within that circle
grown people are living who haye
never been inside church, and they
are not foreigners either. Many of
them are New Englanders, and are as
good American stock as can be found
anywhere.
This is the report which Rev. T. NJ
Findley, pastor-at-large of St. Cloud
presbytery, made to the Westminster
congregation in Minneapolis on the
work of the Presbyterian church in
the northern part of the state. His
theme was ''Minnesota's Darkest Mid

Francisco Rogue is the name Of a 16-
year-old Filipino boy who accompanied
Fred Gregory, Company F, Thirteenth
Minnesota, to Minneapolis. When Mr..
Gregory went to Manila as an agent OF
the United States secret service, after
having thoroughly famiiarized him
self with the Spanish language during
three years spent in South America, he
found it convenient to attach to him
self valet, and Francisco got the job.
he took such a fancy to Gregory that
ne insisted on sharing his fortunes
with him when the regiment returned.
Ihe boy was born in Pampanga prov
lnce, forty-five miles north of Manila.
He is picking up English very rapidly
and is very, bright type of the Phil
ippines. About so monkeys were also
brought back with the regiment.
New Seminary.
The dedication of the Norwegian
Lutheran Theological seminary at
Hamline was attended by an enormous
gathering. The people came by the
hundreds, not only from Minnesota
and the Northwest, but there were
delegations of several hundred from
DEBORAH, TO-, and st. Louis. The col
lege chapel. the largest assembly room
in the new building, was altogether
too small to accommodate the large
number, so the large piazza was used
as rostrum, and a pulpit was impro-
v1sed at the entrance. Seated here
were the speakers and the officials of
the church, the band, the orchestra
and the chorus. It was handsomely
decorated with large flags.

There were many boxes of deliciously per-
fumed bon bons and other candies, but

WORRIED WOMEN.
Women Worry About Little Things
More Than They Ought.

Not enough iron in their blood
What has iron to do with 1t? The iron
of rich. red, strengthening, nourishing
blood is one of the chief builders of nerve
power.
Iron makes strength.
Weakness causes worry
Women who are weak and nervous are
thin, pale or yellow-faced. They lack the
rounded form of beautiful womanhood.
They are irritable and hard to please Tney
suffer from headache, backache, rheuma-
tism, neuralgia. They feel weak, tired, I'M
happy, miserable.
Their pale color proves that they need
iron to color their blood. Their irritable
tty and nervousness, that they need 1t to
tone up and strengthen their nerves. Their
thinness, that they need 1t to cure their
dyspepsia.
They can get what iron they need in Its
best form from DR.. Harter's Iron Tonic.
Not an empirical solution of iron salts,
but scientific preparation of tested value.
A preparation that for forty-two years has
been curing the sick by hundreds of thous-
ands.
Health comes with plenty of iron in the
blood. So does a strong constitution. The
strength of iron is made from iron.
DR.. Harter's Iron Tonic banisiles pain,
brings back roses to faded cheeks, builds
up nerves, conquers sickness.
A worthy lady of South Portsmouth, Va,
Mrs. M. j. Weel, corroborates the above in
these words: For many. many years my
blood was iron poor, though did not know
it. l used to have fresh, rosy cheeks and
a plump. rounded form, but by degrees
my good looks faded away until began to
look like a ghost. l lost strength and am
btion and suffered from pains in my stom-
ach head, heart, back, muscle and bones.
I gave myself up in despair. Finally a good
friend induced me to try Dr. Harter's Iron
Tonic. From the good symptoms which at
once began to Show themselves l saw what
had been wrong with me- l had suffered
from want of iron, and it remained for DR..
Harter's Iron Tonic to supply it and cured
me. l am now in good health and feel bet
ter than | have for years"
Here Is evidence from near at hand:

The woman who planned her Christmas

drawn work for polished tables and hem

itials, sighed over quantities of renaissance
squares and bits of point lace. may have
congratulated herself as the holiday season
approached, that her gifts were packed In
her chiffenier, only waiting to be labelled
with 'good wishes for a merry Christmas"
But if she goes to any of the Christmas
sales this week she will be led into other
extravagancies, for at all of the holiday
sales there is beautiful display of appro-
pirate holiday gifts. which are meeting
with ready sales.
At the Woman's exchange IN First avenue
there is an unusually elaborate display of
embroideries, any piece of which would de-
light the woman who studies artistic table
effects. The embroideries have atuacted
the holiday shoppers, and every woman
who has been to the exchange has gone
into ecstacies over the exquisite colorings
and designs.
There are other attractive articles In
zephyr work and beautiful squares In all
the lace designs. The windows are bright
with pictures and flowers and there should
be an especially large sale of flowers at
this season, The exchange receives COM

particularly the exchange offers a complete
line of articles, and the women who are
In charge hope for liberal patronage.
An enthusiastic member of the exchange
was sneaking recently of the success of the

spects as model for the exchange here.
She referred to the splendid annual re-
port of the exchange in Cincinnati. which
she had recently received. and espresso"
The hope that the Woman's exchange in
Birmingham would be able to make as en-
couraging a report. She gave some inter-
esting statistics in regard to the Cfncin-
natl exchange, which is of course many
wears older than the struggling year old
one here
"The exchange in Cincinnati she said,
has been a sef-supoprting institution
since the first year of its existence. Inc
report of the past year showed an increase
of over $1,000 received by consignors, s3o'-
S91 90 having been paid consignors during
the year just closed. The Cincinnati ex-
change" she continued" paid out IN
wages over five thousand dollars the past
year, and also purchased from consignors
over five thousand dollars In the edible
department the sales amounted to more
than SCI ,OOo."
She continued to speak of the object of
the exchange.

The styles in these fetching stands come
from the Turk the Orient and from schools
suggested by the periods of the Renais-

prefer and present to mind a number of
