part of the preachers away.

tant Editor of the Epworth Era, adj
dressed the Conference on 'The Field
and Scope of the Epworth League, "

Heavy rains so delayed the meeting
on Saturday that Rev. ]. w. Cherry's
great sermon on "Old Testament and
Missions" was the only part of the
mornings program carried out. Owing
to the illness of his father, Mr.. Robt.
B. Eleazer, State President, was I'M
able to attend, but his ideas on district
organization were carried out in the
thorough plan of organization for the
work in the district.

odist lights stood years ago, ere the
world realized their brilliancy) lunch

was nothing lacking. but more people
to consume it. The Era man had left
on the morning train and the Midland
man did not get here until evening,
but Rev. Paul Kern's delayed train
made him the better prepared for the
dinner that was saved for him
Miss Grace Williams, of Tulip street,
gave one of her own typical land that

work AS the Conference was called
to promote interest in League work
and thereby lead to the organization
of new Leagues her suggestions were
just what was needed and will prove
an impetus in forming and conducting
work among the children.
Next came Rev. Paul Kern with his
practical suggestions and zeal in his
speech on THE Work Before Us this
Year."
AS a result of the business meeting
the following officers were elected:
President, Prof. j. A. Bostick, of Mt.

FARMER BEN'S COLUMN

+a- & I.
Well, the refractory "insurgents'' in
the house OF representatives atk Wash
ington got another swattin' Thursday
on the statehood bill that president
Roosevelt recommended in his message
and the whole vote stood 1874 to $50 to
support the presidents policy. The
next thing is to see what the senate
will do. The milk in the cocoanut is
simply this. The big trust and monop-
oily fellows hav it in for president
Roosevelt because he stands for a
square deal and is rippin' upathe stan;
y dard Oil monopoly, the beef trust and
the other internal combinations Of
robbers to take the last drop of blood
from the American people. They are
bound to break Roosevelt down and SO
they fight anything that Roosevelt faY-
ors and they can get enough tools and
agents in congress to help out their dia-
bolical schemes by the use of millions
of their tainted stealin's. On this state
hood business nobody opposes the com

With the same enthusiasm THAT
marked their tireless campaign to pro.
vide the Minnesota Soldiers home, the
valiant members OF the Woman's Re-
lief corps throughout the state have
practically concluded arrangements
to furnish the new women's building at
the home, which is to be- the home Of
.Minnesota's dependent wives and mo-
theirs and INDECENT widows of veterans
of national wars. 49,, -. -
( At least fifty rooms IN the handsome
home will be furnished by the local
organization of the w. R.C. Nosooner
had the proposition been broached than
every corps in the state came forward
anxious to have part in the enterprise.
In many cases this aid was proffered
before the formal appeal was issued.
One of the enthusiastic workers in
this campaign, who refuses the use of
her name for the reason that she con-
>siders the entire order responsible for
the noble work, describes the progress
of the work and the purposes of the
home as follows:
"The spirit of the members of the
order was manifested in the various
district conventions held in Minneapo-
lis, Detroit, Spring Valley, Farming
ton, Waseca and Pipestone, where dele
gates We'd with each other on behalf
Of their respective corps in eager prof
fers Of furnishings for the building.
Each corps desires to participate in the
memorial and when the building, for
which the contract has just been let, is
completed furnishings in great album
dance from all parts state Of the will be
on hand.
can example Of the great enthusiasm
and sentiment Of the women was given
by representative, of the Ackley corps,
who during the discussion of the pro-
ject in a district convention said:
"'We have but twenty members in
our corps, but am sure that they will
take the matter up, and if they don't
I will ~F {
another touching expression of the
generous sentiment of the various corps
came from the lips Of a soldiers widow
over 70 years of age who has been eking
out scant livelihood for several years

parting these loving old couples and
devoted sons and mothers and their
struggling in the miserles of pauperism,
that the Woman's Relief Corps planned
the women's building, and then fought
for years with legislators, who, not
realizing the pitiable condition Of these
heroes, were slow to disburse the states
funds for the undertaking." said the
woman before mentioned. 81 -
"Why, we know Of fortythree sol
diers' mothers who are alb olutely y de-
pendent. The state has been kind in
providing pensions for these unfortu-
mates, but from 81 to $1Oa month is a
small sum out of which to buy all the
necessities of life. There are at least
1000 widows of soldiers in sad con-
dition, and probably fifty aged couples,
living hand-to mouth existence rather
than be parted.
"ln addition to it's beauty in archi-
lecture and the greats aid it will be to
so many worthy persons, the building
will possess every known convenience.
All its accessories will be within its
walls. It will have it's own hospital,
it's own laundry room, it's own dining
room and all other necessary compile
ments, not the least of which will be
four large, bright parlors. The dining
room will be ini the basement. An ele-
vator will convey the; inmates of the
home to and from this room. There
will be fifty separate living chambers in
the four.story building, and these
should be adequate for the number who
now deserve admission. The state
fund for the INDECENT dependents of
veterans will care for the others. OF

sion to the haven, but these will not be
SO severe as to deprive any who deserve

In the midst of the enthusiastic recep-
tion of the idea she arose and said:
"'I'm pretty old and not very we'll
off, but l want to give two bed sheets
:. Everywhere the condition is the
same. Each corps is more than anxious
to have a part IN furnishing the home
and there will be olack Of furniture.
Each town will be given a room and
all will vie to make its furnishings the
most convenient, durable and comfort
able in the building The result will
be, according to the women who have
the matter in charge, the provision of
better Accommodations than would have
been secured if the state had had the
matter in hand. Mcintyre Woman's

furnishing of one room. - :<s,- +. Z
"It is the desire of the Woman's Re-
lief corps to. make the women's building
a most comfortable place. They realize,
inasmuch as provision for the scores of
needy wives, widows and mothers of
veterans in the state has been their duty
for years, the awful sufferings these
persons have undergone and they desire
to make the last days of these unfor-
tunates all that could be desired.
Necessity and ambition guide their
project. The appropriation Of $4,000,
the most the legislature could grant,
was deemed entirely inadequate to pro-
vide for the needs and worthy purpose
of the building. The excavation,
through solid stone, to connect the
building with the heating plant entail
ed a large expenditure, and will leave
nothing, when the building is complet-
ed, for furnishings. Realizing this, the
cooperative furnishing plan was adopt
ed. Ambition to have the home COM
pleted and furnished in August, in or
der that 1t may be one of the exhibits
of Minneapolis in its entainment of the
Grand Army encampment, next year,
has FASTENED the work;
