THE PERKINS HOME LETTERS
Copyright, 1906, by the Sunday School Times
Company and reprinted by permission.
Maple Valley, Tuesday night.

Dear Jim: f.5;Your last letter certainly
was short, but it had a mighty lot OF
helpful truth in it. Why. it seems to
me this lesson about the last supper
just about bears out what you said in
that letter. One Of the things Jesus
left for his disciples surely to do was
just tosremember him. Now l reckon
an ordinary man would have set up
s s,messkind of a hard thing for people
to do to prove that they remembered
him; but Jesus left just simple sup
per as remembrance. I'm so glad he
didn't leave some grand ceremony in
a great palace, and say we were to
remember him that way. That would
have made it sspretty hard for the
farmers and other folks like us. But
then guess that..when it's really big
life mightylsimple ceremony is needed
to remember it. Some very small
people think they'll be remembered by
big monuments, and make arrange
ments for them before they die.
Now, it:.seems real natural and sort
o. human-like that Jesus wanted to be
remembered. We all want to be re-
membered, ,snow, don't we? But we're
a bit selfish in it, l guess, and want to
be remembered for our own sakes,
while Jesus wanted to be remembered
for the sake of those who bear his
name. I certainly can't forget how
simple an act he left us to use.
wonder if we don t make this following
Jesus a whole heap harder than he ever
intended it to be. Of course, it will
always be plenty hard enough to dc
right; Satan will attend that. But
mean in our manner Of worshipine
God,-it seems to me Jesus made that
part very plain and simple. Maybe
that's worth remembering, for there's
a lot Of plain folks in the world, aftel
all, and Jesus didn't leave anything Out
Of their reach.
I'll tell you, Jim, the Lords Supper
has quieted many storm in my lonf
life. It pays to sit still a while ''il
remembrance.
Your loving Ma.

AClever Company.

At Oakes opera house Friday, Nov.
9th, ga Husband on Salary" the de-
lightful farce presented here last sea-
son promises to score a hit for the sec
ond time. It is a great accession to
the list of farcical successes, as the
bright jollity of the farce creates no
end of merriment. It has every reason
for succeeding for it is acted by a capi-
tai company, and it is so distinctly
novel in scheme and development that
it furnishes what most people like best
"a diversion from accepted standard.
The plot is light and filmy, but the
incidents and complications are i'm
mensely amusing which makes it quite
the breeziest offering for long time.

REVIVAL MEETINGS
COME TOACLOSE
From Them Came Much Good
To People Of Oakes
The Christian People Drawn Into Closer Fellow
ship and the Non. Christian Taught New
Lessons and Truths.

The revival meeting being conducted
by Evangelist Pratt of Albany, New
York, ended in a blaze of glory at the
hall on Sabbath night. Four meetings
had been held during the day-three in
the hall and one at the Methodist
church-and each Of them showed that
the people of Oakes were interested in
the work. Testimonials came willingly.
The last service continued until almost
ten o'clock, and the closing scene was
impressive indeed. DR.. Pratt had the
Christian people gather around the hall
and with clasped hand they all sang,
''Blest Be the Tie That Binds Our
Hearts in Christian Love-" It seemed
like separating the sheep from the
goats, and made the latter to feel like
jumping the pasture fence.
The Christian Workers Conference
from the 23rd to the 9th was addressed
by several ministers from outside the
city. DR.. A. c. Brown, synodical mis-.
sionary of North Dakota, Rev. w. H.
Hunter, pastor at large of Oakes and
Fargo Presbyteries, and Rev. R. C.
Young of Lisbon gave excellent ad'
dresses. Rev. Mr.. Taylor, who is or
trial at the Minor Presbyterian church
was also present.
The success of the meetings were il
no small part due to the local ministers
who Eput:: much enthusiasm into tht
work. Mr.. Fulton, our talented singer
made that part ::of the service yer,
valuable by his solos and the way h,
led the choir.
DR.. Pratt left Monday afternoon TO
Park River, where he will conduct ser
vices for the next two weeks. He j

as he finds it in the Word, and is dis

At the Opera House.
The College Boy.

This clever comedy with music will
be the offering tonight. Ralph and
Rud Riggs are a pair of comedians
equally as good in dancing as singing,
something seldom seen in musical
comedy. In the college Boy" they
both have parts that suit them, and
their clever dancing and typical songs
go long way towards making great
success of an excruciatingly funny
musical show. t'The College Boy" is
said to be a rollicking three act comedy
and better than most of the plays built
! on the same theme.

the Far East.
Great virtues are ascribed to the
claws and horns Of certain animals.
Tigers claws are in great demand with
the common people. One or two claws
may be worn near the loins, but should
one possess larger number the fortu-
nate owner makes garland of them
and wears them around his neck.
Deer's horn ground into the paste is an
excellent. balm for pain and swellings.
A more curious use is found for the
same substance; it Is sometimes made
into powder which is supposed to aid
the growth Of stunted women. The
joints taken from the long and slender
tail of the black scorpion are supposed
to keep illness at arms distance when
children wear them on their waist

A, red or swollen eye is cured by hav-
ing it touched with the bolt or chain of

The Commission Visits the Battlefield and
Decides to Put Monument on Crown Of
Whitestone It'll

E. R. Kennedy and H. F. Eaton re-
turned Thursday morning from the
western part of the county, where in
company with the other member of the
Whitestone Battlefield Commission,
Theodore Northrup, they inspected the
hills where the battle took place be-
tween General Sully's forces and the
Indians in September, 1868. Twenty
government headstones and a mon
ument are now at Merricourt ready to
be placed in position to the memory of
the twenty-five soldiers who fell in that
,attle. Whitestone hill commands a
'ery stately view Of the surrounding
nils and entire country and it is pro-
posed to put the monument on top of
it, so it can be seen for miles and miles
around. Glendale can be seen % miles
away. Through the efforts Of Congress
man Marshall a full section of land has
been withdrawn by the government
from settlement-the quarters adjoin-
ing in z and 8 and II and 18 in town
ship 131-65-and is now under the con-
troll of the state government.
]. c. Luce. of Groton, S. D., who
was in the battle, and who went over
the grounds for the government in 1884
has been of much valuable assistance
to the commission in making the loca.
tions and getting the proper record fol
history. He accompanied the men or
the trip.

Teton Mass, there used to be dra-

prominent men. Once play was be-
ing given in which Judge Bellows. a
courtlv gentleman of the old school,
and a certain Dr. Sanger were in the
cast. In the middle of the play all
forgot their parts. The prompter had
lost his place, and the players were in
despair. The audience began to gig
gle, and the players looked appealing

At the end, at the very denoument
of the play. Judge Bellows was sup.
posed to exclaim, Il know not what to

Millions Save! by Anesthetics.

There is no guessing how many
thousands of lives were lost before
the days of anesthesia merely be
cause the pain of the operation nee
essary to save them was too great to
be borne. Anesthesia predates asepsis
by thirty years, and so belongs to
another period in the history of sur
gerry. but it is so fundamental to all
the wonders that surgery is now work
ing that its discovery is an inevitable
part If ar" account of surgery's Won
derful achievements. Modern sur.
gerry is not only painless and germ
less; it is also bloodless. A patient
can be opened and his stomach taken
ont. and yet hardly lose more blood
than If he had accidentally cut his
Enger.
