PEPpERY LITERARY MEETING.
WITH QUESTIONS WHICH ALMOST
BREAK UP THE GATHERING.

Sociology in English Literature" the subject of
the Peoples Institute Saturday night lecture. by
]. w. Martin, Is creating much discussion among
the listeners. At the close Of Mr. Martins hour his
hearers stay for questions and since the questions
have become of unusual warmth, people who are
not present during the lectures drop in.
Last evening the subject was Thomas Hardy.
When the scheduled speaker had finished his re-
marks, which dwelt upon the novelist's extreme
gloom and pessimism. the house had its chance
The proceedings thus
"Any questions?' asked Mr. Martin.
''Yes. right here" gray-haired man arose ana
made speech of five minutes length, saying that
he would not tolerate an author who spoke so Ill
of women, who was $50 rotten" to the core, ana
whose influence was. so evil. When he was nnally
seated Mr. Martin said he did not quite know no"
to answer that question" for he did not eaten
any.
Then" began the old man again. 'Fn ask 1t
again. Why do you pass over such writers as
George Eliot and Charles Kingsley. noble men
idealists-to waste your time such noxious
authors Hardy?"

nothing whatever to do with John Ruskin And In

piled:

says M Cites, of 1905 William Street. Omaha, Nebr.

Spurious offers of ufree medical advice" should
not be confounded with Dr. Pierce's genuine offer
of free consultation BY letter. There is offer of
ufree medical advice" made by man or woman
which has behind it institution of national note,
such as the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N. Y. There is no offer of ufree medical

it physician whose success in the treatment and
cure of diseases peculiar to women equals that of
Dr. Pierce. There is no offer of ufree medical

it the privileges of DR.. Pierce offer of free

suffering the resources of great medical
institution and the skill of nearly score of expert
