Stroud. an Oshkosh boy who left there
five years ago, TO one Of the bellies of the
Hawaiian islands. Young Stroud en-

at Waucousta. John Sock, well-known
farmer, was in the village getting some
feed from a barn there. He drove his
team out of the barn and turned to close
the door, when the team took fright at
something and instantly started down
the road to the north. Just ahead of the
team was another team hitched to post,
belonging to one Charles Schnovski, val
ued at $3.50. The running team went
straight against this team, one horse
jumping clear over the standing team
and the other remaining still while the

ADHERE TO MONROE DOCTRINE
If England Would Lead Off Other
Powers Would Follow.
OPPOSITION PRESS MOUNTING

London. Nov 25--The most impor-
tant position of the Spectator is occu-
pied by a discussion of proposal that
Great Britain should give its formal
adherence to the Monroe doctrine
The Spectator will say If America
will define the Monroe doctrine. why
should we not pledge ourselves not to
infringe upon it2 When we had ac-
knoyv1edged this doctrine, America
might propose it to the rest of the
powers for Endorsement If she did,
the powers could hardly refuse If
they adhered. their adherence would
be of great use. not to America, but to
the cause OF peace. for it would elimi-
nate great many of the notable causes
of If the Monroe doctrine be-
came part of the public law of the civ
iIzed world, the risk of breaking
out with regard to European interior
ence in Brazil or Spanish America, now
always possibility. would then pass
away.
Possibly other power but
Great Britain would at first be willing
to recognize the Monroe doctrine as
binding. Even so, it would be worth
our while to pledge ourselves to respect
it, for we never mean to attack that
doctrine, and. sooner later. our
example will probably be followed by
other powers
The Spectator will also approve the

startling manner the imperialistic
travagances of -day-without
sulting in the smallest degree the
interests of the rest of the world, which
are intimately bound up with our own
in this matter.
The Saturday Review affirms that

not be lost upon those who hear, nor
will it's influence be powerless upon
him who bestows it. A cultivation OF
the thanksgiving habit will make to
grow the sense of appreciation, and
as a result our spirits will be sweet
ened our souls enlarged and the whole
horizon of life beauti1ed. Then the
ordinary affairs of life will never more
be commonplace our conditions and
surroundings will always appear in
fresh light This is significant The
man whose family find in him source
of endless delight and joy is one who
does not suffer the common relation
ships and the daily intercourse to be-
come color1ess and arid. Such a man
keeps love alive by cu1tivating the
sentiment of affection. His face, his
voice his deed, makes the Cd courses
of life brim and sparkle with a full
current of tenderness and feeling So
it is again with the great artist who
sees the common in an uncommon
light and clothes the most ordinary
objects with beauty and charm In
like manner the religious nature dis
closes it's presence by the unfailing
freshness of its feeling for all re1a-
tionS and seasons and customs and
days. 1t numbers its blessings daily.
and daily does it express gratitude be-
cause it feels deeply and gladly the
weight of its vast Indebtedness The
years may differ greatly in the com
forts and blessings they bring. but
Gods unbroken benef1cence knows no
divisions of time. His bounty is an
unbrolxen eternity. All years, how
ever hard in the experiences they
bring, are years of b1essedness; it
should be ours to receive what God
sends and to be constantly thankful.
We should thank him who has made
us and preserved US as nation.
Who revealed this continent when
the proper time had come, and called
to its shores faithful and Cody men
who believed in Him and in men as
His children.
Who preserved the national seeds
planted in our colonies and united
them for liberty and independence.
Who made our young nation wise in
counsel and strong in defense.
Who pacified the strifes and eradi-
Gated the jealouSies that separated
our states and Joined them anew in
one indisso1ub1e union.
Who has given US the wisdom to es-
tablish free schools and free churches
and has given us brave hearted and
clear headed men to sacrifice and toll
| for the public virtue and peace.
Who has given us open Bible a
risen Christ. a loving church and a
redeeming God
Who crowneth this year of grace
with His bountiful goodness.
| Oh, that men would praise the Lord

works to the children of men!

sworn statements made by Mr. Kent,

that in 1894 he was given up by the
doctors and that Dodd's Kidney Pills
