DR.. Buckley Makes Startling
Assertion at Meeting Of
Ministers In New York

New York Feb. 9.--Rev ]. d. Buck.
ley, editor of the Christian Advocate
of this city, caused a sensation at a
meeting of Methodist ministers here
today. The previous speaker, d. d.
Thompson, editor Of the Northwestern
Christian Advocate of Chicago, had
spoken in most enthusiastic way, de
ella ing that there had been a million
lad half of converts made by the
methodist church in the last four
years. DIR. Buckley disputed the ae.
curacy Of these figures. He declared
that statistics showed that methodism
was actually declining in some of the
Eastern conferences at anyrate. He
believed in looking at the facts, and
he declared II was a grevious mistake
to take an over-optimistic view. His
statements were vehemently opposed
by the other members of the meet.

A DAILY
NUISANCE
A Simple Remedy Which viii
Interest Catarrh Sufferers

In it's earlier stages catarrh is more
of a nuisance than a menace to the
general health, but sooner or later
the disease extends to the throat
bronchial tubes and even to the stom.
ach and intestines.
Catarrh is essentially a disease of
the mucous membrane. the local
symptoms being a profuse discharge
of mucous, stoppage of the nostrils,
irritation in throat causing coughing,
sneezing gagging and frequent clear
ing of the throat and head.
The usual treatment. by. local
douches, snuffs, salves, etc, often
gives temporary relief, but anything
like a cure can only be obtained by a
treatment which removes the catarrh-
al faint from the blood and the dis
appearance of the Inflammation from
the mucous surfaces.
A new remedy which meets these
requirements and which so far has
been remarkably successful in curing
catarrh is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
These tablets act upon the blood
and mucous membranes only. They
can hardly be called secret patent
medicine as they arc composed Of
such valuable remedies as Blood root,
Hydrastin, Red gum and similar
cleansing antiseptics. which cure by
eliminating from the blood and mu.
cous surfaces the catarrhal poison.

ground color, but are so heavily
blotched with brown that the gray
is sometimes difficult to find.
The young birds are knowing little
r~ascals, and are often taken from the
nest and reared as pets. They are nat
urally inquisitive, and, finding that
they have nothing to fear, they exam
inc everything which interests them
about the house or garden, and any
small object which especially attracts
them they carry off and hide. When
in search of amusement they will bring
such objects out of their hiding places
and play with them, hiding them again
when they become tired.
They take great pleasure in teasing
the dogs, cats and other domestic an
imals by stealing their food and by
pecking them when they are asleep,
and wild animals, such as foxes, rae
coons and wolves, must be equally an
noyed to have attention called to their
presence by chattering magpies. They
will alight on the backs of cattle and
help rid them of whatever insects they
may be troubled with, and with equal
GOODNESS they will steal and kill the
young chickens which may have
strayed from under the watchful eye
of their mother.-Boston Herald.

ODD ANIMAL FOUND IN GIRL.

An extraordinary case which has

Last October a girl aged %, living

She gradually became worse, and in
February last vomited a number of
live animals about the size of a six

Then she was taken to Buckingham
Nursing home, where she received
medical attention for about six weeks.
At the end of that time she was taken
to a hospital in London.
The X-rays were applied, and the
cause of the illness was found to be
the presence of a large animal near
the left shoulder blade.
The girl was advised to return home
for a few weeks rest, after which she
returned to the hospital, where she I'M

An animal, white in color, quite fiat,
and almost as large as the palm of the

scores of smaller ones.
Several members of the medical pro-

and others have seen the animals, and
they all agree that such a case has
never before been known. neither can
any idea be given as to the origin OF

spectators to easily follow the progress

Unfortunately, this wonderfully in

The black-billed maybe is about 20

takes up rather more than half the
total length. The greater part of his
plumage is glossy black, with bronzy

scapulars, being also white, form two
conspicuous patches on the wings.
Long streaks of white on the inner

HERR WALDMANN.

Intelligent, too much loved by his
owner to be spoken Of so vulgarly.
But "Waldmann," nevertheless, is a
dog, a Dachshund, and his full title
is Herr Waldmann Lynn Mentzel.
This aristocratic pet is the property
of Mrs. Alfred F. B. Mentzel, and she
thinks the world of him, always re-
ferring to Herr Waldmann" as a
retired gentleman Of (Koeln)
Cologne" He was born of the gold
medal winner, Alex, at the Cologne
bench show. Herr Waldmann" was
called "Alex'' when first notice was
taken of him at the kennels Of Baron
Hauserman's villa by H. Johnson. of
Cleveland, O., but later Mr.. johnson
changed his name to Herr Waldmann.
After Mr.. Johnson had travelled
through Italy, France, Spain and Eng
land with Herr Waldmann as his pup
py companion he brought him to his
home in Cleveland. From Cleveland
to Milwaukee Herr Waldmann was
taken by Mrs. johnson and there given
as a present to Mrs. Mentzel.
Herr Waldmann is nine years old. He
has quite a record as a prize winner,
getting first money at the Cologne
bench show in the puppy class when
but six months old; $25 prize at Cleve-
land bench show, when two years old,
and $40 prize at the Milwaukee dog
show four years ago.
Herr Waldmann is, rs far as known,
the only dog whose name has ever ap-
peared in a city directory. The
Dachshund is kind and a~ffectionate in
disposition, and much attached to the
family where he makes his home. par
The Tupelo journal., 1903-10-30

ticularly so to Mrs. Mentzel, who
prizes him very highly.
And how does it happen that Herr
Waldmann has his name in the di-
rectory when immunity from the dog
catcher was heretofore considered as
much of a privilege as any canine was
entitled to? 1t was early last spring
when the directory called at
the home of A. w. Lynn, s~uperintend-
ent of the Pueblo and Suburban Light
ing and Traction company. He want

house, and Mrs. Mentzel, who is the
daughter of Superintendent Lynn,

as that all?" asked the directory
canvasser.
Mrs. Mentzel, not forgetting her
Dachshund, gave the directory man
Herr Waldmann's name, occupation,
address, etc.
And that is how the dogs name got
into the directory.
