He Was Averse to the subsect, But When 1t Was Introduccd

Walter Camp, the athletic adviser of Yale university, was recently entertain ing a gathering of his undergraduate friends with experiences of his own, says the New York Tribune.
 He told of dinner where a charming young woman was seated next to an ex- ceedingly deaf old man. She had done her best to interest him, but had found it necessary to shout out each remark unto the third and fourth narration be- fore the old man could catch the point
 So the time dragged aong, till the d;n- ner was waning and the fruit was passed.
 The young woman determined to make a final effort at being agreeable, so she threw her voice into saying;

 Do you like bananas?" she repeated.
 "Well, my dear," he replied, so long as you have introduced the topic, I will say that l much prefer the old-fashioned nightshirt."

 It is worse than foolish for so many women to suffer year after year with disease that can be permanently cured.
 Peruna cures catarrh permanently. It cures old chronic cases as we'll asa slight attack, the only difference being in the length of time that it should be taken to effect a cure.
 If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis.

GRATEFUL, HAPPY WOMEN
Thank Pe-ru-na for Their Recovery After Years of Suffering.

Miss Muriel Armitage, 36 Green wood Ave, Detroit, Mich., District Organizer of the Royal Templars of Temperance, in a recent letter, says:
 T think that a woman naturally shrinks from making her troubles public, but restored health has meant so much to me that 1 feel for the sake of other suffering women it is my duty to tell what Peruna has done for me.
 'T suffered for five years with uterine irregularities, which brought on hysteria and made me physical wreck. I tried doctors from the diff ferent schools of medicine, but with out any perceptible change in my condition. In my despair I called on an old nurse, who advised me to try Peruna, and promised good results if I would persist and take it regularly. thought this was the least 1 could do, and procured bottle. knew as soon as 1 began taking it that it was affecting me differently from any thing I had used before, and so I kept on taking it. kept this up for six months, and steadily gained strength and health, and when had used fifteen bottles I considered my self entirely cured. I am a grateful, happy woman to-day. Miss Muriel Armitage.
 Peruna cures catarrh of the pelvic organs with the same surety as it cures catarrh of the head Peruna has become renowned as a positive cure for female ailments simply be- cause the ailments are mostly due to catarrh. Catarrh is the cause of the trouble. Peruna cures the ca tarrh. The symptoms disappear.

II OW can we arouse perishing souls 1 and bring them to realize that the cross of Christ is the power of God unto salvation, and not foolishness, as they have supposed? Not by argument. Not by trying to satisfy all the doubts and questions which arise and obscure the main point at issue, namely, that man needs salvation and has been given Saviour. One man with whom talked, who prOfessed to believe that the cross of Christ was foOlishness, wanted to dis cuss the question of the inspiration of the Scriptures, the matter of miracles, the account of the creation, with spe- cial reference to Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden experiences, and finally he wanted to compare the writings of zoroaster, Confucius, Buddha, etc, with the Bible. It was hard work trying to keep him pointed to the crucified Lord. But that is where he needs to look be- fore he can get all the other tangles strengthened out. It is the only starting point for the sinner and if you cannot get him to look in that direction, your effort and your argument are wasted. Yea, verify, the preaching of the cross is to them that are perishing foolish ness" but nevertheless it is the truth of God and will prevail. With Paul we must say: "I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth," and we must preach that and nothing else to the sinner, for that is the only message which will bring him to the light and save his soul. The cross of Christ! Oh, that the world might look to it for deliverance from sin! It is the crucifed Lord which should inspire the heart to song and hold the eternal gratitude of the cleansed and redeemed soul. "Oh, what is thy Beloved?
 They oft inquire of me; And what is my Beloved
 So passing fair I see? Is it the Heavenly splendor
 In which He shines above? His riches, and dominions
 That won my hearts best love? "Oh no! 'tis not His glories;
 Hes worthy of them all! 'Tis not the throne and scepter
 Before which angels fall! l view with heart exulting
 Each crown His head adorns; But, oh, He looks most lovely,
 Wearing His crown of thorns. 'I' m glad to see His raiment
 Than snow more spotless white. Refulgent with It's brightness.
 More dazzling than the light; But more surpassing lovely
 His form appears to me, When stripped, and scourged and bleeding.
 He hung upon the tree.
 Though higher than the highest.
 Most mighty King Thou art. Thy grace and not Thy greatness.
 First touched my rebel heart; Thy sword it might have slain me,
 Thine arrows drunk my blood; But twas Thy cross subdued me,
 And won my heart to God Thy scepter rules creation,
 Thy wounded hand rules m All bow before Thy footstool
 I but the nail prints see; Aloud they sound Thy titles,
 Thou Lord of lords most high; One thrilling thought absorbs me-
 This Lord for me did dieI'

Newport weekly independent., 1903-12-04

THE preaching of the cross of
 l Christ is not foolishness because it units for the right activities and the bearing of responsibilities of this life.
 Somehow, the idea has gotten abroad and fastened itself to the minds of a great many people that to let the cross of Christ rule in the life means that busi- ness success and ability to ningle ip the affairs of men will be curtailed if not blasted. But true success cannot, nor can the highest wisdom in secular things, be found apart from God Jo- seph found it so in Egypt and became the greatest statesman and most bril- liant national executor and manager in the world. David may be cited-vic- torious general, wise ruler, mighty king. Daniel in the heathen court of the Babylonian king is another exam pie of what God can do through a con- secrated, obedient servant Never did Satan coin bigger falsehood or en- deavOr to give it wider currency than that man if he would make a success of his life must leave God out of the reckoning. It is fatal and dangerous fallacy which has carried thousands upon thousands of souls upon the rocks of destruction. The cross of Christ gives one his proper bearings, it puts into right relationships with God and man, and fits for and leads to a success which can only be measured by eterni- ty. What bitter disappointment comes to the soul which, counting the cross of Christ as foolishness and bending every energy and activity towards the gaining of some earthly goal, finds at last that the coveted prize is but a gilded bauble! Yet there are thou sands and tens of thousands who meet just such sad disappointment Had they not despised the cross of Christ, had they not rejected the reasonable claims of God and His Christ, they would have found in this life abiding satisfaction and success, and would have possessed hope for the future life which would have been as cheer ing as the beacon light is to the mari ner as he sails the treacherous seas.

New evidence has been discovered by

Who are well acquainted with the de-
PENDANTS, are ready to testify that dur
ing the days the man is said to have
been negotiating for loan at the Man

man on the streets that looked so much
like Klughertz that they spoke to him.,
believing him to be their acquaintance.
The resemblance, these parties claim, was
30 marked that they could not tell the
difference between the two men, and the
only way they could determine that the
man was not kmghertz was when he

their salutation. From this new evil
dence which the defence claims to have
secured, it would seem that the case
becomes more complicated than ever.

The special meeting of the council
tAis forenoon was attended by all of
The aldermen, and Mayor Taylor pre-
sided.
The following resolution was passed
which covered the object for which the
sseeting was called:
Resolved, That the Mankato Gas and
Electric Light company be required to
place all poles for the feed line for light
ing Broad and Fourth streets in the
alley between Broad and Fourth streets
from Liberty to Vine streets; for light
ing Second street, in the alley between
Front and Second, from Byron to Vine.
Posts for lamps on Broad street are to
be placed On westerly side, and on all
other streets where boulevarded and
Stferwise improved, the company shall
change the lighting poles as directed
by order of the council"
President Porter of the board of pub
lie works said that he understood that
tiss Northwestern Telephone Exchange
company was about to begin the recon
struction of its entire system in this
city, and would replace old poles with
new ones. He thought that this was the
time for the council to take action to-
ward controlling the location of the poles.
Unless this is done, the company will
set the new poles where it pleases. He
thought that the matter should be re-
ferred to the city attorney to draw up
an ordinance.
Aid. kleinschmidt thought that the
company intended to do the right thing
and intended to remove many of the
poles.
Aid. Coy thought that the city should
have the say where the poles are to go,
and that the council should take steps
10 have them located for all time.
Aid. Kleinschmidt moved that the city
attorney be instructed to draw up an or
dnance requiring any company of what
ever nature desiring to set poles to
first obtain permit for doing so from
the board of public works. The loca-
lion of the poles could thus be regulated.
City Engineer Thompson said that the
city is just as great a yiolator of de-
eency as anyone. 1t has placed some
new poles on Fifth street for the fire
alarm system. One was placed on the
corner of mans yard. Almost all of
tie poles could have been cut out or
else placed in the alley.

Mrs. Jabez Lloyd, whose eighty second
birthday was celebrated last Saturday
afternoon and evening at her home at
2OS Shaubut street, is one of the very
early Welsh settlers of Blue Earth coun-
ty. Mr.. and Mrs. Lloyd settled in JUDD
son as early as 1866. During the pre-
vious twenty-one years they lived at
Cambria, Wis.,, where all their children
were raised and most of them born. In
the year 1855 Mr.. and Mrs. Jabez Lloyd
migrated to this country from Wales, a
young couple with two little daughters.
One of the little girls died during the
voyage and was buried at sea. The
other, Miss Annie Lloyd, still lives at
the family home on Shaubut street. 1t
was here that Jabez Lloyd himself died
on Christmas day little less than seven
teen years ago.
Three sons and two daughters are still
living: Peter Lloyd, very well known
resident of this city, living at Fourth
and Cherry streets, with his eight chill
dren, and who was once county treas
urer; John Lloyd, living on farm near
Lake Crystal with family including
four sons and two daughters; Gabriel
Lloyd, who occupies the old family
homestead in Judson and whose four
children often live at the city home of
their grandmother i'll order to get the
advantage of the city schools; and the
Misses Jennie and Annie Lloyd, both
residing with their mother.
