Sacramento. Ky. Nov. 18th (Spe-

vine, who is very well known here.
She says:

At times l would be so bad I could not
put my feet to the ground. AS l am

cured and should have to bear my
rheumatism the best way I. could.
But heard about Dodd's Kidney Pills

The freedom OF the city of London,
distinction on which many states
mea and warriors have Set great store,
was recently bestowed on General
Booth of the Salvation Army, who ac-
ceDted il as the recognition of the
world wide work OF the army. The pre-
sentation was made in the presence of
distinguished company, including
civic officials. several thousand citi-
zens and many officers Of the Salvation
Army. The address referred in glow
ing terms to the work OF General
Booth and his organization. not only
in London but throughout The world.
The general in reply referred to the
difficulties which beset him in his
early days and which are only now be-
coming officially recognized
Instead Of the usual gold casket the
address was inclosed in an oaken cas-
ket, the balance of the money voted by

History in the Making.

Prof. j. A. James of Northwestern
University recently announced to the
students in his American history class
that they would be expected TO come
to the class room prepared to answer
questions on the news of the day. In
the course of lecture he referred TO
upon questioning the members of the
class. found that only two of them had
read the days newspaper. He there
upon made the announcement:
Hereafter | shall expect you to have
an accurate knowledge of current
events as chornicled each day in the
newspapers, and | shall consider it
fully as important as the daily lessons
assigned from the books"
The plan thus announced by Profes-
sor James is one which is followed by
many instructors of history. not only
in the colleges, but in secondary
schools as well. The news as con-
tanned in the daily press dispatches is
history in the making. What is his
tory today was once news and what
is news to-day will soon pass into his
tory. Familiarity with events that oc-
led with ignorance of affairs that are
now shaping the destinies of nations
and individuals is surely an absurdity.
What practical value can history
have unless from II we may draw les
sons for the present, and how can such
lessons be drawn unless we are famil-
lar with events of the day ayo-Colorado
