to take me into her confidence, before we

the anomalous position in Tokyo of

to me that she rather dreaded her return
TO the life Of stimulation that her mar

ardent Catholic and her husband was
secret convert. although the fact had
been carefully concealed from his aged
parents. The child. OF course. had been
baptized in the Catholic religion, but its
grandparents Iabored under the delusiOn
that it was following in the ancient faith
of its forefathers. To keep the old peo-
pie ignorant Of the true state Of affairs,
the father and child made their daily ap-

The Children
AT THANKSGIVING.

oh, merry car wheels, whirl along the
narrow, shining track,
For up and down DER the land We carry
thousands back
To homesteads, where the fathers wait
and mothers smiling stand
In trembling joy, to greet their own and
clasp them hand in hand
oh, wheels, speed On with rush and
roar,
And bear the children home once more!
Oh, wheels, turn fast, for every mile We
compass brings more near
The blessed place where dear ones wait
with warmth and lavish cheer,
TO heal the homesick ones, who come
from many sundered ways
To sit beside the household board, and
blend glad songs of praise.
Be swift, oh wheels, and bear them
straight
And safely where sweet welcomes wait.

A THANKSGIVING REFORMATION

BY Marion Mallette Thornton.
GU don't mean to say, Luella Ann
Dory, that you're goin' to invite those
Bemises 70 Thanksgivin' dinner?"
Luella shipped a thread decidedly.
That's exactly what I'm goin' to do"
''Well, that beats me! It's all very
well givin' to the poor, an lendin' to the
Lord, but it seems 'sif you might find
poor folks that wasn't shiftless."
That's the very reason I'm goin' to
invite 'em. Alviny Bemis needs an OBJ
ject lesson in keepin' things shipshape,
an 1 propose to give it to her. 1 be-
lieve 'twould do her good to come here
an have things like other folks, for

and l can clean up next day. I'm goin'
down to invite 'em this morning."
She folded up her sewing, put on her
overshoes, and walked determinedly
away through the snow, leaving her
mother to shake her head obviously
over this last of ''Luella AIMS notions"
The Bemis cottage was small, dflapi-

In Elmwood an invitation to "come

by ten o'clock the Bemises had arrived.

were somewhat startingly arrayed as to

once in their lives, every child had

The Farmers Wife

Is very careful about her churn. She
scalds it thoroughly after using, and gives
it a sun bath to sweeten it. She knows
that If her churn is sour it will taint the
butter that is made in it. The stomach is
a churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutritive tracts are performed pro-
cesses which are exactly akin to the
churning of butter. Is it not apparent
then that if this stomach churn is foul it
makes foul all which is put into it?
The evil of foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste in the mouth and the foul
breath caused by it, but the corruption of
the pure current of blood and the dissem-
ination of disease throughout the body.
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
makes the sour and foul stomach sweet.
1t does for the stomach what the washing
and sun bath do for the churn-absolutely
removes every tainting or corrupting ele-
ment. In this way it cures blotches,
pimples, eruptions, scrofulous swellings,
sores, or open eating ulcers and all
humors or diseases arising from bad blood.
If you have bitter, nasty, foul taste in
your mouth, coated tongue, foul breath,
are weak and easily tired, feel depressed
and Respondent, have frequent headaches,
dizzy attacks, gnawing or distress in stom-
ach, constipated or irregular bowels, sour
or bitter risings after eating and poor
appetite, these symptoms, or any consider
able number of them, indicate that you are
suffering from biliousness, torpid, or lazy
liver with the usual accompanying indi-
gestion, or dyspepsia and their attendant
arrangements.
The best agents known to medical sci
ence for the cure of the above symptoms
and conditions, as attested by the writings
OF leading teachers and practitioners OF
all the several schools of medical practice,
have been skillfully and harmoniously
combined in DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. That this is absolutely true
will be readily proven to your satisfaction

dent that theIbreach in the party

berg for REORGANIZATION of state
auditor. The gentleman is sheriff
of Clear Creek county, and has
been serving as such for the past
six years. In announcing his can
didacy for the nomination, the
Idaho Springs Gazette says: "Mr
Sandberg is widely known and his
availability from every point of
view will be readily recognized
He would make a capable official
and be attentive and conscientious
in the discharge of his duties
Clear Creek county has not asked
for recognition on the state ticket
for years, though it is one of the
counties that is always to be re-
lied upon for a substantial Demo-
cratic majority. We believe that
Mr.. Sandberg is entitled to the
nomination and has an excellent
chance to get it. If he is nomi-

The Great Colorado Chautauqua.

The Colorado Chautauqua Is an insti-
tuition whose name has become known in
every part Of the South and West. Its
grounds are located on the Colorado &
Southern Ry. at the edge of Boulder.
The Chautauqua opens July 4th each
year, and continues for five weeks. The
greatest lecturers, educators, entertain
ers and musicians OF America appear
upon the platform.
The location of the Chautauqua is un-
surpassed for beauty and healthfulness.
Imagine table land covering 300 acres
on the eastern side Of vast mountain
chain, whose SUBMITS are tipped with
everlasting snow. On the right Nature
has formed mighty chasm, whose re-
cesses are lost in the dome Of the con-
tinent. On the left, mile away and 500
feet below, nestles the loveliest little city
OF America. In front is spread out a
mighty plain extending away toward the
boundless prairies. At the foot OF the
level mesa on which the surprised and
delighted beholder stands, is an enchant.
ing valley, whose carpet OF emerald ex.
tends as far as the eye can reach to the
north, and from which arise the sounds
of the farm. the gentle lowing o! cattle,
the faint bark Of the dog or the distant
rumble Of train Of cars, slowly thread
ing its way toward the lmitless horizon.
The scene is one OF enhancing beauty.

eye drinks in the infinite loftiness of
mountain and plain, and the physical
senses absorb the balmy sweetness OF
the atmosphere, the spirit is involun.

Power which created the surprising

Most Chautauquans are students:
hence, the Chautauqua Summer School.
An effort is made to meet as nearly as
possible all the demands OF those in at.
tendance. The institution is of popu.
lar character, interesting and practical.
thorough and progressive. The instruct.
ors are all men and women OF recognized
standing who lend inspiration to those
who attend their classes. The work
should appeal very strongly to teachers
who are anxious to have an outing and
at the same time feel they must pursue
a definite line OF study to better tit them
for their next years work. To them are
offered opportunities for review Of the
common branches, for WORK in Physi-
ology and Pedagogy, IN Primary meth

branches Of study. Others will find real
