$3.50 SENT FREE !!
The WeIl-Known Specialist, Franklin
Miles, M. D., IL. g., Will Send His
Book and $3.50 Worth of His Per-
sonaI Treatment Free to Any Reader

There never was better opportunity
for persons suffering from diseases of the
heart, nerves, liver, stomach, and kidneys
to test, free, remarkably successful
Treatment for these disorders. DIR.
Miles is known to be a leading specialist
in these diseases and his liberal offer is
certainly worthy of serious consideration
by every afflicted reader. This oppor-
tunity may never occur again.
His personal system of Treatment is
thoroughly scientific and immensely
superior to other methods. 1t includes
several new remedies carefully selected
to suit each individual case and is the
final result of twenty five years of very
extensive research and great success in
treating these diseases. Each treatment
consists of curative elixir, tonic tab
let's, eliminating pills and usually a
plaster. Extensive statistice clearly DEM
onstrate that Dr. Miles Personal Treat
ment is at least three times as successful
as the usual treatment of physicians or
general remedies purchased at the stores.
Col. Z. B. Spileman, of the 18th United
States regulars, located at San Diego,
CAL, says: CDR. Miles Treatment has
worked wonders in my sons case when
all else failed. l had employed the best
medical talent and had spent $4,000 I
believe he is a wonderful specialist. I
consider it my duty to recommend him.
''For years had severe trouble with my
stomach, head, neuralgia, sinking spells,
and dropsy. Your treatment cured me-"
writes Hon. w. A. Warren of Jamestown,
n. Y.
Mr. Julius Keister of Chicago was
cured after ten able physicians had fail
ed Mrs. R. Trimmer of Greensprings,
Pa, was cured after many physicians
called her case hopeless
As all afflicted readers may have $3.50
| worth of treatment especially adapted to
| their case, free, we would advise them
| to send for it before it is too late. Ad.
dress, Dr. Franklin Miles, Dept l6, POI

ON THE TRACK.
Swell Races at the DRIVING Club
Matinee.
- H.


A large crowd, a fast track. good
weather and high class racing was the
order of things at the races held yester-
day on the Minnesota river by the Man
kato Driving club. The first race was
the free for all with only two starters,
Articulate and o. X. Both heats were
won by O.. K, well driven by Gates Phil
lips with the mare very close up, driven
in mastery style by William Spornitz,
her owner. The first heat was paced in
l:l5 and the second in l:141b.
The colt race, as usual, furnished
nice contest, but Mr.. Burmister rather
turned the tables on Graham's Lady
Wilkinson by winning the race. How
ever, it took the three heats 10 decide
it as the Lady won the second heat The
next in order was the green race in
which Mr.. J. ID. Humiston of Eagle Lake
scored his first win with his grand horse
Boil. There were four horses in this
race. owned respectively by George
Schultz, Ben Page and W. Duffy.
And now to the old rivals Fail
lenstein, Bowen and Whipple in the
roadster race. They always give you a
run for your money and enough comedy
to help you forget that the thermometer
is lowering around ten above zero. Bow
en- won.
Whenever p. S. Thomas r.. NJ Dodds
and L. Duffy came out on the track with
their respective mounts everybody
knows there is going to be horse race
in the first heat the doctors horse Ed
just showed his nose ahead of Appolo's
while in the second heat on account of
the crowd getting on the track the doc
tors horse made swerve in front of
Appole's when Mr.. Thomas was making
one of his characteristic Splan finishes
with his horse, but that swerve did the
trick and the doctor rode in front. The
special race was won by George with
comparative ease, not being driven out
by the Creeper the full. half mile.
The race between S. G. A., l:091s, and
Neutral was a spirited one. The patri-
otto feeling was of course to have the
home horse, owned by P. Kelly win, but
the fates decreed differently. Mr.. Nc
Donald won the race and the 500.

dinner in the well-shaded grove lent adj
ditional interest Robert Burns birth
day, the 25th of January, is when the
Scotch are in their element and the roar
ing game of curling is the chief delight
of fathers and sons. The meetings were
formerly held at some of the roomy
homes of the members, but, later on, at
Sterling Center hall. About seven years
ago we were compelled on account of in
creasing membership, to use the opera
house at Mapleton, which has been
filed to it's capacity every year. We are
organized for enjoyment and to meet
our auld friends as well as to give the
young people chance to learn some
thing of their mother country and peo-
pie of which they are all proud. How
ever, we do not expect any flag to look
as beautiful as the Stars and Stripes,
nor do we care to. We endeavor each
year to raise enough to cover expenses,
say $3.50 to $500, so do not plan enter
tainment to draw crowds, but insist all
program shall be Scotch first, quality af-
forwards. Then the feast of Haggis is
what makes the Scotch blood leap in all
our veins and makes us feel as if we
were in the land of hills and heather.
In his time Robert Tyler probably made
larger sacrifices in the interests of the
Scotch than any one individual and has
left behind him six sons that are Scotch
through and through, and when it comes
to the tee unless there is extra strong
opposition The efficient secretary, A.
j. Ellis, has worked untiringly for the
interests of the NJ. R. c. c., and the
program would often have been lacking
without his services. The Scotch fami-
lies that have taken unusual interest are
Thomas Blair, Jordy McCay of Bass
! Lake, the Ellises, the Howiesons, John
ston, Dobie families of Sterling, Morrow
Brothers, David Will and Andrew Little
of Beauford, Alex. Anderson and Will
/, lam Mcqueen, Hanna and Taylor Broth
ers of Mapleton, William Jameson of
Rapidan. Years ago Alex. Melon
aid and Colan Macbeth of Mankato
were often with the club and Charles
Macbeth, George Owens and our ain DIR.
Dodds, who is one of our most ardent
supporters, is expected every year. The
membership is confined to Scotch or
Scotch descent, hence no discussion ever
arises, as we are all of one accord"

AFTER MANY YEARS
How Good Fortune Came at Last
to a Woman in Southern
Missouri.

! Good fortune sometimes comes after
hopeless years of waiting. So it was
with Mrs. T. NJ Taylor, of No. 731 West

years she had suffered with severe
stomach trouble but Dr. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People cured her, as the
following interview will show:

Mrs. Taylor took medicine that at
tackled her trouble at the root-the blood

ailments which affiict mankind, and DR..

man came into public notice the other
day, and when the newspaper reporter
solo. ted him for a brief biographical
sketch, he passed over the fact that IN
the ne of his ancestry there were
sturdy Germans, brilliant Frenchmen,
and wit from the Emerald Isle, to say:
Il am of Scotch extraction" For this
is the blood and these are the traits
which POM to a distinguished past, and,
as representative of rugged, chaste man
hood and Womanhood are considered a
legitimate ground for self-congratula-
ton when inherited.
1t was the Duchess of Gordon, a clev-
err and Deauu.lul Scotch woman, who IL
Illustrated the superiority of the Scotch

tentious border dandy. He was beside
her at supper party, and In order to
gain ..er good graces, affected -hg
for the Scottish tongue, declaring there
was not Scottish phrase he did not UNI
derstand "Rax me sprawl of that

out changing a muscle of her face. The
English exquisite looked dumbfounded,
appalled,, and then, presently skunk
away in confusion, while the commits

from the north of the Tweed. She asked
him to pass her a turkey wing.
Often one hero has transformed his
people. History and biography record
the thoughts and deeds of noble men, not
to embelish their pages, but to teach no
bility to the generations that are to
come And when a nation has no chiv
airy, God sends poets to invent knights
and ladies to stimulate the expectant
soul of youth. The richest and dearest
gift to any people is not broad acres,
nor elevators crammed with wheat, nor
busy counting houses, nor fast-fying
trains, but men, goood, simple, great
men, whose example and influence re-
peat themselves in their fellowmen.
In Scotland at one time the ideal hero
was fighting patriot. 1t was Robert
Bruce who cast that sacred spell upon
the people. He who wished to be crown
ed by the love of human hearts must die
upon the field of battle and with his
blood sanctify the flag of freedom. But
the modern hero stands forth not armed
with swords and guns but with love, be-
neyolence, and compassion. The new
knight Grant tolls for the orphan, the
invalid, and the unfortunate people of
the slum, or the oppressed of trade.
To Burns must be ascribed large
part in effecting this change of senti-
ment. He was atrue social reformer,
lover of manhood, and a patriot of the
highest order.
In this day we are hearing a great
deal about remedies for the abuses of
competition amongst men. Some people
are telling us that in combination and

BOB BURNS LAND
Fine Address Delivered at Ma.
pIeton by Rev. Miller.
On the Occasion of the Celebration of
the Anniversary Of Loved
Poets Birthday.

From Saturdays Daily.
The Rev. f. E. Miller delivered the
following address at the Burns celebra-
ton at Mapleton last night:
The Land O. Cakes and Robert Burns.
Like Banquo's ghost, the Scotsman
is an irrepressible individual. Since the
day that he emerged from thedarkness
of aboriginal savagery, his influence has
been felt and recognized as dominant
force in the progress of civilization. As
the Greek gave way before the mailed
hand of the Roman only to triumph over
her victor later in the realm of the mind,
so the Scot has seen the sword and the
scepter of nationality wrested from his
grasp by a conqueror whom subsequent
Iy he has compelled to grant him chap
lets of intellectual, commercial and
moral achievement. His blood, his opin
ions, his prudence, his industry, his in
tegrity, his religion constitute the mud
sill of social life in Great Britain and in
America.
He is a universal character. In East
India and in South Africa, in China, in
every part of the British empire Lord
Roberts says the Highland regiments
(the Seaforths, the Gay Gordons, Low
ats Scouts) have expressed the highest
kind of bravery and military skill; in
the commercial development of the
American republic during the past fifty
years what names represent more bust
ness energy and wisdom than Carnegie
and Mccormick; in literature, Sir George
Douglass, Watson and Barrie sell their
books in every quarter of the world; IN
statecraft, John MacDonalds, Roseberrys
and Wilson's are called upon for distin-
guished service as colonial governors,
secretaries and members sof cabinets;
nor is there trade, science, a profess
sion. pulpit in which the Scotch mind
does not lend its wisdom and grace to
shape the thought and policy and life of
the time.
1t makes little difference how much
he may be mixed with other races, the
Scotsman will not be suppressed. A

MAPLE RIVER CURLING CLUB.

How the Organization Was Brought
About Years Ago-Its Officers.
One of the prominent members of the
Maple River Curling club furnished The
Free Press with the following article de-
scriptive of the organization:
eve were organized in 1866 as the
Blue Earth Valley Burns club and Mr..
James Ellis was elected chief every year
to 1900, when, by his own request, T. B.
Taylor was elected president and the
name changed to the Maple River Curl
ing club. Formerly the organization
held two meetings each year, one in June
when the old and young participated in
the Caledonian sports and the basket

fused to drink to the health of the prime
minister, William Pitt, but proposed in
stead that of George Washington.
William Diack, in an estimate of
Burns works, says: ''As social re-
former, as critic of unjust social insti-
buttons, and as a moulder of new demo-
cratic ideals, his work has never yet
been fully appreciated by the multitude
of those who loudly sing his praises
Witness to the justnes of this esti-
mate is given in a verse from the "Twa
Dogs" Caesar is speaking:
i"See how ye're negleckit,
How huffed, and cuffed, and disrespeckitl
Lord, man, our gentry care as little
For delivers, ditchers, and sic cattle,
They gang as sauey by poor folk,
As [ wad by sinking brock.
"I've noticed on our lords court -day,
An mony time my hearts been wac,
Poor tenant bodies, scant O. cash,
How they maun thole factors smash;
He'll stamp and threaten, curse and
swear,
He'll apprehend them, poind their gear;
While they maun STAN VII aspect hum
BILE,
An hear it a., fear an tremble!
see how folk live that haze riches;
But surely poor folk maun be wrtech-
es.'
Following the Scotch mind and teach
ing today, we shall say that manhood is
superior to money and the fortunes of
birth; that one hundred independent
farmers is better national asset than
S2OO,O00,000 in cash; that life and liber-
ty are inalienable rights which cannot,
without doing violence to every principle
of justice and benevolence, be weighed
against profit and loss in money and in
land
The Scotsman has love for religion.
Biblical Interpretation and theological
discussion are as meat and drink to him.
In the past, with his narrow life and in
tense personal affection and preiudices.
he was apt to regard his Maker as mere
ly larger and more powerful self, much
as he regarded his King of the chief of
his clan. His prayers are introduced as
evidence.
The chief of the Leslies is said to have
prayed before a battle: so, God, be ON
our side! Au, gin We Gamma be on our
side, aye lay low bit, an yen see thae
carries get hidin' that must please ye."
The prayer of an old Covenanter, who
ruled his household with rod of iron. is
reported in the following honest words:

the hollow o. Thy hand And haze a care

North Western struck the sleigh in
which Mrs. M. p. Quist, Mrs. A. d.
Abraham and Mrs. Ben Currier of New
Sweden were going to st. Peter, on the
west of the city. Mrs. Currier
escaped with few bruises by jumping,
