Rev. A. A. Joss delivered the Mem
orial Day oratiun at Bismarck, N.
D. The Bismarck Daily Tribune
says: "The address OF Rev. Joss
was finished, scholarly and thought
full and was listened to with intense
interest. Seldom is better effort
heard. Rev. Joss is an earnest and
forceful speaker, his reasoning logic
al and his addresses always worthy
OF careful. attention, His picturing
of the causes Of the war, his presenta-
tion of the principles for which the
war was fought, and his picture of
the grandeur of the reunited coun
try was forceful and patriotic. He
also paid an eloquent tribute to
the soldiers that had fallen.''

MnbeI's Little sister.

When you have wanted little sis
ter very, very badly and when the
little sister finally arrives, you are apt
to love her far better than anybody
else could possibly love her, even your
father and mother. Mabel was years
old before the long wished for little
sister arrived. The first rapture of real
ly having her was dampened somewhat
by the incessant crying of the baby.
For herself Mabel didn't mind. Any
thing the baby did was perfect, but,
oh, would the others, who couldn't, of
course, worship little sister" the way
Mabel did, get tired of IL? One day
when the baby had almost screeched

sequent way of babies. Mabel went TO
her mother In the first lull and begged

NAPoLEON's TROUBLES,
His Royal Physician Diagnosed Hts
Trouble As scale Repercutes."

trOuDAe AS "Gaie kepereuteS.'
Napoleon Bonaparte. as First Con-
sui and as Emperor, was the victim of
malady which caused him to seek the
advice OF the most distinguished ply
sicians of Paris. 1t Is little shocking
to modern sensibilities to read that
these physicians, except Corvisart,
diagnosed the distinguished patients
malady as gale repercutee"-that Is
to say, In idiomatic English, the itch
struck in" 1t is hardly necessary to
say that no physician of to-day would
make so inconsiderate diagnosis in
the case of a royal patient. II by any
chance distinguished patient were
afflicted with the itch, the sagaeious
physician would carefully hide the fact
behind cireumlocutions, and proceed to
eradicate the disease with all dispatch.
All OF which goes to show how easy
1t may be for masked pretender to
impose on credulous humanity; for
nothing is more clearly established in
modern knowledge than the fact that
gale repercutee' was simply a name
to hide profound ignorance; no such
disease exists, or ever did exist. Gale
itself is a sufficiently tangible reality,
to be sure; but It is purely local dis
ease of the skin, due ITO perfectly
definite cause, and the dire internal
conditions formerly ascribed to 1t have
really no causal connection with 1t
whatever. This definite cause, as
every one nowadays knows. is nothing
more nor less than microscopic insect
which has found lodgment on the skin.
and IL has burrowed and made itself at
home there. XIII that insect, and the
disease Is no more; hence 1t has come
to be an axiom with the modern physl-
clan that the itch is one of the three or
four diseases that he is positively able
to cure, and that very speedily. But
1t was far otherwise with the physic-
ians of the first third of our century,
because to them the cause of the dis
ease was an absolute mystery.

London's most famous historical
building was named the Tower" and

fortresses of Norman construction In
England keep the name of castle. Lon

In the methods of Norman military ar

constructed of n toweror keep, with an
