October I chaperoneds "a party of young

Woods The objective point was a

shack was several miles from the
nearest wagon road and we had to

women climbed down cheerfully ard

that august parsonage. At length the
editor looked up with "what can

The editor took the manuscript from
pigeonhoIe in his desk and handed
it to It's author, saying;

rejection slip, must not be understood
as implying any lack OF merit. In

came the man-"while the poem is not
available for our uses, know a man
who would accept it. He wouldn't pay
much, to be sure; but

the poet; unfortunately my muse Is

man stood in his. tracks. His half
cooked gun rested In his nerveless
fingers In the brush close at hand a
deer leaped over distractions and on
TO freedom with the irresistible Joy Of
life. As the form of the fleeing ami
mai grew indistinct among the pines
the sportsman raised hfs gun half way
to his shoulder with a Jerk and fred

the treetops, for the deer never raised

Catarrh Cured
Hyomei's Wonderful Action in Curing
Case Of Thirty Years Standing
Guaranteed by Voegeli Bros. .

Do not try to cure catarrh by taking
drugs into the stomach. It cannot be
cured in that manner. The only way
in which this common disease can be
cured is thru direct application that
will kill the germs Of catarrh and pre-
vent their growth. Hyomei is the only
known method of treatment that &C
complishes this. It is the simplest,
most pleasant and only absolute cure
for catarrh that has ever been discov-
cred. ..s ..
Mrs. G. A. Derby of Beverly, Mass,
writes: "My husband has had ca
tarrhal trouble for thirty years and Hy-
omei is the first thing which has ever
helped him. He had catarrh in it's
worst form, and nothing except Hyo-
mel ever had any, effect, on it what
ever. This gave him relief from the
first and he has steadily improved, I'M
til now he is cured. -
Voegeli Bros, corner Hennepin and
Washington avenues and corner Sew
enth street and Nicollet avenue, have
so much confidence in the power of
Hyomei to cure catarrh that they will
sell the treatment under their personal
guarantee to refund the money if the
purchasers can say it cid not benefit.

THE UNIVERSITY
WORK FOR THE REGENTS
NEEDS OF THE UNIVERSITY TO BE
DISCUSSED AT TOMoRROW'S
MEETING OF THE BOARD.

Several important matters will be con-
gidered by the university regents at
their regular monthly meeting tomor-
row. Not only will the regents take
final action on the location and plans
for the proposed main building, but the
amount Of the appropriation for which
the legislature will be asked will be de-
termined. The greater part Of the ap,
preparation, whatever it may be, will go
toward the erection of the main build
ing, but other needs Of the university
will be considered. -
It is not probable that the regents
will take action in regard to the recent
movement among the alumni for a great
er campus. , President Northrop saio
this morning that while the university
was in need Of larger campus and he
was heartily in favor Of any plan which
would result in more campus ground, the
new main building was at present the
chief object for which the Legislature
should be asked to appropriate money.
