AMERICAN PATE DE FOIS GRAS
sin Town Where the Goose Liv-
ers Are

Persons who read of the tortures in
ficted upon geese in France and Ger
many, where the celebrated pate de
fois gras is made, are seldom aware
that in one place in our own country
the same methods are used to fatten
geese for the Hebraic population in
New York. In Watertown, Wis.,, says
the New York Herald, there is a set
Element of Bohemians where the wom-
en- pursue this work as the chief in
dustry of the place. The geese are
nailed by their web feet to the floors
O wooden cages set in dark, warm
rooms.
They are then fed with all they can
possibly eat and when appetite fails
they are crammed with noodles made
OF q dough of corn and buckwheat
and forced down their threats with q
stick. Every two hours this forced
feeding is applied and in q few weeks
the bodies Of the tortured fowls are
distended like pumpkins, the liver
alone frequently weighing from one

In every country of the civilized world
Sisters of Charity are known. Not only
do they minister to the spiritual and
intellectual needs of the charges COM
mitted to their care, but they also
minister to their bodily needs.
With so many children to take care of
and to protect from climate and disease,
these wise and prudent Sisters have
found Peruna aneverfailing safeguard.
DR.. Hartman receives many letters
from Catholic Sisters from all over the
United States. A recommend recently
received from a Catholic institution in
Detroit, Mich, reads as follows:
DR.. S. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio:
Dear SiE-"The younggirI who used
the Peruna was suffering from aryngi-
It's, and loss of voice. The result OF
the treatment was most satisfactory.
She found great relief, and after
further use of the medicine we hope
to be able to say she is entirely cured. u
Sisters of Charity.
The young girl was under the care OF
the Sisters of Charity and used Peruna
for catarrh of the throat with good re-
suits as the above letter testifes.

by DR.. Hartman.

ent upon a spirit of submission to the
perfect will of the Vine. The mar
rowness of UNCONVENTIONAL pride
would disfgure the Vine with ugly
signs and bristling figures, and. as
sign sunny exposures to one branch
while all the other branches would
be cast into the shade of disapproval
and distrust, wholly unmindful and
forgetful of the fact that Christ the
Vine and the branches abiding in Him
are one beautifully symmetrical and
harmonious whole-the branches all
drawing life and nourishment from
the Vine and the Vine %glorying, not
in one branch to the forgetfulness
of the others, but in all the branches,
because all the branches have their
part in the Vine and have their fruit
to bear. Imagine one branch on a
vine b%eholding itself with complacent
satisfaction because it was longer
and rounder and more leafy than its
neighbor. Imagine it reasoning with
other branch was different from it's
own, and because the color Of it's
bark was not exactly the same as the
others, the other branch could not
be part of the same vine. And If
| Christ is the Vine and rye are the
branches" what are you going to
do with UNCONVENTIONAL dividing lines
and theological differences? In the
mind of God no such things exist.
Christ is the Vine which He has
planted, the true believers, by what
ever name they are called, r the
branches, and the life of the Vine
flows freely and fully to all alike as
they offer unobstructed channels to
receive and use it. Is not this beauti-

Rread stealing in berlin.

One of the Berlin courts was oc-
cupied recently with the question
whether a starving man was capable
of consuming a large loaf Of bread,
value eight pence, at n meal. II
a man proved to be starving steals
bread it is not considered a theft,
according to the German law, but is
punished lightly. In this instance
the loaf was considered too large
for one person to consume, but on

DIR. Hartman, one of the best known
physicians and surgeons in the United
States, was the first man to formulate
Peruna. 1t was through his genius and
perseverance that it was introduce to
the medical profession of this country.
If you do not derive promptandsa salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DR.. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad-

Telephones and Telegraphs in Ma
deira.
The last census gives Funchal a
population of $4,000 people. The city
is spread over a large area, stretch
ing up and down hill, and yet it has
no public telephone. The postal serv-
ice is not of the best. The common
communication is hv note and mes
senger. Several OF the leading bust
ness houses have private telephones.
The different villages of this island
have telegraph and postal commune
cations with this city. A wire con-
meets with the lighthouse at Point
ST. Lourenzo, 20 miles away, and
gives news of approaching steamers
from the north about three hours
before their arrival. The local tele-
graph charges are six cents for tho
first word, and one cent for each adj
ditional w I'd. The postal service is

OPERA HOUSE FOR DEADWooD
First Purpose of Newly Organized
Business Mems Association
Names of the Omcers.

DEADwooD, s. D., Dec. 1S.-oficers have
been elected by the directors Of the Dead
wood Business club. S. W. Russell Is pres
ident, Harris Franklin, vice president; Otto
p. TIL. Grantz, treasurer; Orville U. Pryce,
secretary. Mr.. Pryce is the only oficer
who is not a member of the board Of di-
rectors. other directors of the club are:
John R. Wilson, d. A. Mcpherson, James
Mum, B. P. Dague and George V. Ayres.
The directors are preparing to take up a
number of matters OF Importance to the
town. Among other things 1t is proposed
to secure an opera house, to supply a want
that has been felt since the burning of the
old opera house a year ago. This becomes
imperative, because Of the coming meeting
of the American Mining congress, to be held
in Deadwood and Lead in September, 1908,
there being no place in Deadwood adequate
for the assembly. The club has been in ex-
istence a year and among the monuments
that stand to its credit is the newNhotel,
nearly finished, at a cost of close to s1O0,-
900.

legislation, they will stand united for the
best interests of the Hills.
