Churches of the State in Session a
Redfield for their Annual
Meeting.

Tie Congregational churches IF the
state sent their representatives to
Redtield this week for the annual
meeting Of that denomination and
auxiliary to this Will be the session of
tue South Dakota Home Missionary
Union and the Woman's Board OF
Missions OF the Interior.
DR.. w. I'll. Thrall, who is closing
his fourteenth year of work as sup
erintendent Of home missions in
South Dakota, and his seventh yea
in charge of the work in the Black
HILLS, reports a total membership of
Congregational churches in the stare
at 1859 of which 2,SSS are males and
4,S71 are females; added during the
year, lob; members in Sunday
school, 9,S16. The total amount
given for b%enevolence during the past
year was $40, 1856: for church ex-
penses, SlO3, 35S. Six new churches
we're organized, four church build
ings and three parsonages we're
erected; the value Of church property
is 50, 3;4, 4e5. During the year six
churches became self supporting,
and seven others will do so when
their home missionary commissions
expire; there are now % s%elf-suppot-
ing churches, and the number will
soon be increased to IS. In 1893 the
hSme missionary apportionment
averaged 1857 for each on field,
while this year the average is only
1856.
With reference to eyangelistic
work, DR.. Thrall says: 'On the
whole. there has ..been 20 year since l
have been home missionary %superin-
tendent, in which the evangelistic
campaign has been carried on in a
more satisfactory manner. Almost
the entire e%vangelistic work has been
under the general oversight of Rev.
r. w. Jenney. More pastors than
heretofore have taken active part on
such work. Thirty-six home mis-
sionary cures report REVEALS, and
Mr.. Jenney held meetings in four

about four O'Clock the next afternoon,
when l was forcibly reminded OF the
transaction OF the day before. After
had waited on my customers in their
turn | walked over to another coun-

moth-ball investor. Without giving
me time to make an inquiry, he said:

that there was only one bundle of con-
federate money, and the rest was all
good greenbacks, the bundle of con-
federate money probably having beer
shipped west to some museum, and the
robbers having got hold of it in the
dark, brought it along. Pa burned
up the bad money at the hotel, and
then he got stuck on the town, n

had come in close together from all

a pile Of che corral the crowd stopped
at a signal, and the leader told pa that
now was the time to make a cavalry
charge on the rabbits. and he asked pa
If he was afraid and wanted TO go
back. and pa said he had been a SOL

a politician and had fought in hot
campaigns; had hunted tigers ano
lions in the jungle, and rode bare

we stayed at that town until pa got
good and ready to go home. He bucked
the faro bank some, but the gamblers
soon found he had so much money
that he could break any bank, so they
closed up their lay-outs and began to
sell pa mining stock in mines when
were fabulously rich il they only had
money to develop them. They salted
some mines near town for pa to ex-
anime, and when he found that they
contained gold enough in every shovel

bought a whole lot of stock, and then
the gamblers entertained pa for all

THE DOCTORS WIFE
AGREES with Him About Food.

A trained nurse says: "In the prac-
tice of my profession I have found SO
many points in favor of Grape-Nuts
food that l unhesitatingly recommend
1t to all my patients.
TT is delicate and pleasing to the
palate ian essential in food for the
sick and can be adapted to all ages,
being softened with milk or cream
for babies or the aged when deficiency
Of teeth renders m~asticatlon impos-
sible. For fever patients OF those on
liquid diet l find Grape-Nuts and al
bumen water very nourishing and re-
freshing. This recipe is my own idea
and is made as follows: Soak a tea
spoonful Of Grape-Nuts in a glass OF
water for an hour, strain and serve
with the beaten white of an egg and
a spoonful Of fruit juice or fiavoring
This affords a great deal Of nourish'
ment that ever the weakest stor1acf
can assimilate without any distress.
my husband is a physician and h
uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders
it many times for his patients.

Grape-Nuts with fresh or stewed frui
as the ideal breakfast for anyone

The crowd thought they had given
the distinguished stranger his inning.
and SO they all rushed In with clubs
and began to kill rabbits and drive
them away from pa. In an hour or
SO the most Of them were killed, n
pa was so tired he went and sat down
on the ground to rest. and | got down
of my perch and went to pa and
him what he thought of this latest ex-
perienee, and l began to pick rabbit
hairs off pas clothes.
"IIl tell you what it is, Hennery,
said pa, as he breathed hard, as though
he had been running a foot race, this
rabbit drive reminds me OF the way
the rich corporations look upon the
poor people, just as we look uaon the
lackrabbits. We pity a single jack
rabbit. and he runs when he sees us,
and seems to say: Please, mister, lei
me alone, and let me nibble around
and eat the stuff you do not want, n
we drive them into a bunch, the way
the rich and mean iron-handed trusts
drive the people, and then we turn IN
and club them with the ak handl OF
graft and greed, and we keep our pow
err over them, if enough are killed on
so we are in the majority, but the
| %jackrabbits that escape the drive keep
on breeding, like the poor people that
, the trusts try to exterminate. Some
y day the jackrabbit and the poor people
. will get nerve enough to fight back
v and then the jackrabbit and the pool
people will outnumber the men whe
4 fight them and kill them, and they will
o turn on the cowboys with the clubs
d and the trusts with the big head, ant
drive those who now pursue them int
~corrals on the prairies and into penl
tentiaries in the states, and those wh'
are pig-headed and cruel will ge
theirs, see?"
l told pa l thought / could SEE
though there were rabbit hairs in m
eyes, and then I got pa to get up an
mount his horse, and we rode back
town with the gang, while the SOC
rabbit carcasses were hauled to tow
in wagons and loaded on the cars.
where do you send those jackra'
bits?"' asked pa Of the leader of tt
slayers, as he watched them loadir
the rabbits.
ITO the Chicago packing houses
said the man. "They make the fine
canned chicken you ever et."
"The devil, you say" said pa. "Tht
we have been working all day to NAL
packing houses rich. Wouldn't tn

Then we went to the hotel and | p
