Another club woman, Mrs.
Haule, Of Edgerton, Wis.,, tells
how she was cured Of Irregular.
ties and uterine trouble, terrible
pains and backache, by the use
Of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound.
"DEAR Mrs. P1NKHAM:-A while
ago my health began to fail because of
female troubles. The doctor did not
help me. remembered that my mother
had used Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound on many oc-
casions for irregularities and uterine
troubles, and felt sure that it could
not harm me at any rate to give it
trial.
81 was certainly glad to find that
within a week felt much better, the
terrible pains in the back and side
were beginning to cease, and at the
time of menstruation l did not have
nearly as serious a time as heretofore,
30 I continued it's use for two months,
and at the end of that time was like
a new woman. I really have never
felt better in my life, have not had a
sick headache since, and weigh 20
pounds more than l ever did, SO un.
hesitatingly recommend your medi.

TANNING A FIERCE TIGER.
Ingenious Rinse OF n wild Animal
Trainer That Was Entirely
Successful.

The trainers of wild beasts show a
good deal of originality in devising
means to subdue intractable animals
The Philadelphia Record quotes Mr..
Lever, superintendent of the Zoolog-
ic;il park in that city, as thus describ-
ing how tiger became reconciled to
its attendant:
There was Snowman | used to
kEow named Melchior. He once
bought magnificent Bengal tiger,
which he got at low price because
it had already killed two men.
At first Melchior would put his foot
or his hand into his cage, but from the
way the tiger would leap at him he
knew that to put himself entirely in
its power would be suicide. Nothing
he could do would establish friend
ly relationship between himself and
tie tiger.
Some originality was needed, and
Melchior showed 1t by taking some
Old clothes, stuffing them with rags
and throwing them into the cage. The
tiger in jiffy tore the old clothes
to pieces, thinking that the figure was
a hump being.
Next day and the next day and the
next Melchior continued to throw in
to the tiger stuffed figures and the
tiger continued to destroy them. But
as time passed the animal ceased to
put heart into it's work and in the
end it gave up altogether these at
tacks on the scarecrows; it would just
play with them, or else not notice
them at all.
Now was Melchior's time. He
opened the cage door one morning,
walked in boldly and slapped the tiger
familiarly on the back. II gave him
friendly look and purred. It took
him for another manikin not worth
bothering about. II lived seven years
with Melchior and became as gentle
as a kitten.

Under threatening clouds Sun.
day afternoon a few of Minot's
base ball fans saw Minot's G. N.
team defeat Towner in a we'll
played game on the Minot diam
ond. It took Minot 10 innings
to turn the trick. A change in
the line up apparently strength
ened the G. Ms, only two errors
being made by them. One by Sd
baseman O'Leary and one by F.
Walrath at LIST, neither one re-
sulting in any benefit to Towner,
otherwise the G. N. played gilt
edge ball. The catching Of Whit:
lock and batting OF F. Walrath
being features OF the game. In
fact all players on the G. N. team
did good work with the stick at
times when most needed.
The pitching Of Wright, one OF
Minot's old time players: was
professional ball from the first
man up to the last man. What
few hits were made by the visit
ing team were SO scattering that
it did not result in enough runs
to win the game. Although the
score was tied in the ninth by
Towner, the G. n. boys rallied in
the first half of the ninth and
after two men were out succeeded
in punching their hits for four
runs and then gave Towner a
goose egg in their half OF the
tenth inning the game by ascore
of 8 to 4.

'two that | know OF in the center
Of town, right before the eyes OF
the MAJOR OF the city and mem
bers OF the city council, the chief

law regarding the closing OF
those houses. He then read a
petition which he had prepared
to place before the mayor and
city council asking that the law
regarding the blind pigs and
houses OF i'll fame be enforced. At
the close OF the meeting the pc
tition was signed by a number.
Mr.. Jones stated that he would
circulate the petition himself
about the city later. Mr.. Jones
believes that the mayor will see
that they are closed and intimat-
ed that If he refused to do so
something else would be done
Mr.. Jones stated how he Was

from the west end OF town threw
her bewitching smiles on him and
shouted out to him-a minister

MIR. Jones asked if there were
any Eagles in his congregation.
A number raised their hands.
He then asked if they would al
low him to come to their meeting
after the close OF his service and
talk to them for a few minutes,
asking them to hold their meet
ings on some other night besides
Sunday night. He was told that
there was no meeting thatnight.
He then asked if he would be al
lowed to speak to them at their
next meeting, but was informed
that this would not be allowed.
He assured the members that he
would do everything in hispower
to see that the night OF their
meeting was changed.
He gave anyone willing totalk
on the Necessary Evils OF Mi
not, an opportunity to talk, but
no one responded.
lie gave a few statistics show
ing how often some Of the pro-
fessional men of Minot go to
church. There are five lawyers
who attend regularly. Ten go
once in six months. one goes
once d month and the rest do

tend regularly. One goes oc-
casionally and the rest do not
go at all. Two editors go once a
month. One goes regularly, and
two never go. The Independent
editor is not included in the lat
ter.
Mr.. Jones sermon created a
great deal OF discussion. Natur-
ally the citizens Of Alinot are
much stirred up over it, and
have taken sides, There are
some who believe that the preach
er is too rabid. Others think he
is doing just right. The less con-

mixed congregation which greet
ed the Rev. Edgar Jones at the
Methodist church last Sunday
night in response to invitations
which the pastor had given to
the public to attend a meeting
at which the social disease of the
city should be unveiled. 1t is a
fact that evils do exist in Minot
at the present day, and Mr.. Jones
spared no one. Even the poor
editors who try to do so much
for the dear public got a few
whacks across their backs figur-
atively speaking. Tbehypocrites
got the worst scorching. Mr..
Jones stated that he did not
want to upbraid the mayor OF
the city Of Minot, the members
OF the city council, the police Of
fcers SO much as the church
members themselves, who were
responsible for the conditions in
Minot in a way.
Mr.. Jones noted that he had a
big congregation, a mixed one,
made up perhaps OF people from
every phase in life IN Minot and
he was glad OF the fact. He hop
ed they would come to his church
again and become regular church
members. Mr.. Jones said that
he was sorry that some had
spoken Of him harshly, because
he wished to unveil some OF the
facts regarding Minot. He be-
lieved that he had just as good
right to speak them from the
pulpit as the people did from the
streets. He emphasized the fact
that individual Righteousness
constituted the wealth OF a city.
A community may have laws but
not necessarily Righteousness.
But a city with Righteousness al
ways has laws. Wealth does not
constitute righteousness, educa-
ton does not constitute right
eousness.
':In spite OF our laws we have
not a prosperous community.
Minot has nine churches includ-
ing the salvation army"
There are more houses OF i'll
fame and more blind pigs in Mi
not today than there were when
| came to Minot more than a
year ago. There is a moral dis
ease covering our community"
continued Mr.. Jones. claw does
not mean anything in this town.
| do not mean to say that Minot
is the worst city in North Dakota,
but it is bad in spite of her laws.
You cannot legislate a man into
Heaven.
Mr.. Jones does not believe that
the way to eliminate crime from
a community is to foster educa-
ton. That may help.
"One of the saddest things
which a minister has to put up
with" said the preacher, sis a
hypocrite in the church."
He does not agree with the
manner in which the druggist
permits are granted and stated
that he had proof Of the law be-
ing broken. He raked the church
member who signed the permits
and said the man who signed the
permit was as bad as the one
WHO sold the liquor. The
Christians, he said, who are SO
pious in prayer meetings, are
responsible for the conditians Of
things.
There are men in business he
continued, who would not know
when the Sabbath day came I'M
less they were told, orunless they
heard the church bells. A man
has as good a right to sellgroce-
ries on Sunday as another has to
