DICKINSON CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
CHURCH PUBLISHES STATE
MENT OF REV. MARY BAKER
EDDY REGARDING MCCLURE
MAGAZINE ARTICLE.
CONCORD. N. H.. Ian, (,

CONCORD, N. H., an. 5.
The January issue of McClure's Mag
azine, which undertakes to publish the
history of the early life of the Reverend
Mary Baker Eddy, Leader Of the Chris
tian Scientists, and her family. has been
brought to the attention of Mrs. Eddy.
She has taken the pains to correct the
matter, and has sent out the following
statement over her own signature:
1t is calumny on Christian Science to
say that man is aroused to thought or
action only by ease, pleasure or recon-
pense. Something higher, nobler, more
imperative, impels the impulse of Soul.
It becomes my duty to be just to the
departed and to tread not ruthlessly on
their ashes. The attack on me and my
late father and his family in McClure's
Magazine, January, 1907, compels me as
a dutiful child and the Leader Of Chris
ton Science to speak.
McClure's Magazine refers to my
fathers "tall, gaunt frame" and pictures
"the old man tramping doggedly along
the highway regularly beating the ground
with huge walking stick"
My fathers person was erect and ro-
bust. He never used a walking stick.
To illustrate: One time when my father
was visiting Governor Pierce, President
Franklin Pierce's father, the Governor
handed my father a gold-headed walk
ing stick as they were about to start Tor
church. My father thanked the Gov
ernor. but declined to accept the stick.

Although McClure's Magazine attrib.

McClures 8 Magazine also declares that
the Bible was the only book in his house
On the contrary. my father was great
reader.

If indeed it be l, allow me to thank the

they have thereby given of the divine
power of Christian Science, which they
admit has snatched me from the cradle
and the grave, and made me the be:
loved Leader of millions of the men and
women in our own and in other coun-
tries,-and all this because, the truth

tares from the wheat, uniting in one

 "SPORTY" SET AT SARATOGA.
You Will Find Them All Resplendent
 at the Races.

It's not the medicinal waters-only tourists drink them-that make Sara toga: it's the races. After the lunch con the great hotels are emptied. All the world makes rush for the race track-Mme. Modiste like princess royal in her perfect victoria. The so- ciety women sit at the right hand of the enormous stand, facing the track
 at the end near the club house. Clarence Mackay, always immaculate ly dainty, with white trousers and blue coat. watches the start from the judges stand. August Belmont. too. Is often up there. Mrs. Joseph Wide ner, the little beauty from Philadel- phia, who loves to plunge; Mrs. Clar- ence Mackay, who looks amiably tol- erant of 1t all; "tailor-made" Mrs. Thomas Hitchcock, Jr., who never placed a bet in her life, though her husbands horses, with their tails all tied with green ribbon. are famous; and gentle, auburn-haired Mrs. Her man B. Duryea-these are some of the we'll known matrons you will meet, says the August Delineator.
 There is wild cry: They're off" and the great stand creaks and throbs with the madness of it all. There is a rush of men like black ants surging toward the fence close to the track. The bands play with crash that sends notes like brass cannon balls into the air. After the races, there Is the drive to the polo grounds, or to the restaurant at the lake-seven miles from the grandstand.

WHAT NATURE MEANS.
One Man Cannot Grasp and interpret
 It All.

"The more I study the more I am convinced" says John Borough iri the Delineator, for August that one mans faculties cannot penetrate wholly the noble, fascinating mystery of nature Nature is all things to all men. She is one thing to the artist, another to the scientist, another to the farmer, still another to the ob- server and nature-lover like myself. We do not all see the same things be- cause we do not all have an equal in terest in the same things. Or, if we do see the same things, we do not get the same impressions from what we see. It is only important that we get a true impression, that we do not see double, or, if we are seeing for pur- poses of science or natural history, that we do not substitute what we think or fancy for what we really see, as some of our late nature writers have done
 My own chief interest is in the minor phases of nature, principally in the play of wild life that goes on all about me. For big game. one must travel far; but stay at home and keep your eyes and ears open and you may have some fresh bit of live natural history almost every day in the year. II one had a sympathetic record of all the little incidents that occur in the lives of the denizens of the near est piece of woods during the year. he would have a most entertaining chap

THE POINT OF VIEW

 Then he said as a sort of puff prelim- mary, that his daughter was a good girl. And he added that he couldn't bear to part with her. Yet he was in favor of an early marriage. Rather inconsistent what?"

Murray blurted out presently, ''of course I'm awfully happy, and all that, and she is quite the dearest little girl in the world; but this sort of thing makes a man thin1i- has it ever struck you that marriage is little rough on the man?"
 (Which man?" asked Jim, too innocent ly.

 Did you raise those pigeons. my lad?" asked white-haired man, laying his hand encouragingly on the boys shoul- der. 'Yes, sir" replied the little fellow; me and my father together. 'Tain't no trouble to raise pigeons" How many do you sell a week?' "Only 'leven, sir Eleven? That's quite an odd number. Why eleven?" "Them's all we got" You raise only eleven a week?' No. sir; we ain't raised more than a couple of pair in the last three months" Yet you sell eleven a week?' "Them's the same old leven. They's carrier pigeons. sir. and they always comes back home.

WHEN CHILDREN COME
1t Is the Critical Point in the Lives of
 Husband and Wife.

With the advent of children new element enters the home, new trans forming power for better or for worse, but a factor that never leaves condi- tions unchanged, says the August De- gust Delineator.
 The mother. absorbed and concen- trated in the loving care of her child, which has become so nearly all her world, may let motherhood eclipse the tenderness of wifehood. She may some day awake to realize with 9 strange sudden tightening of her heart that she is missing certain customary
 graceful attentions and caresses-the small coin of love-that the goodbye kiss in the morning Is forgotten or be- come perfunctory, and finds many other little beads of attention missing that but a short time ago made bright spots of memory on the golden thread of her daily living
 She may miss the old conferences and condolences and feel in vague way that it is all his fault, thoroughly unconscious that, on repeated recent occasions when he had told her little cares and worries as of old, tried to win her enthusiasm to some new plan ] of his or some new dream of ambition she had only half heard, her interest was slight. her sympathy unexpressed. her thoughts wandering as she waited for a pause and sidetracked his confi- dence with the latest instances of the
 marvellous intellectually of the baby She may not realize that the chile that began as a real reason for drop
 ping familiar customs and sweet hab it's, acts of thoughtfulness and grace ful attentions, has now become but an
 excuse.

ADVERTISING AGENT IS
 A MODERN PRODUCT

Trade papers constitute an important ln- terest and this protection against ad- Vertising agents Is made possible by a trade paper organization, while the vast ly greater aggregate of capital and influ- ence back of the newspap pers has been meelly permitting a little coterie of mag azine agents to divert ten to twelve mil lions a year from them. No agent can divert any advertiser from using q trade paper because no advertiser even consults an agent about trade papers. Newspa pers give freely of their space to impress upon general advertisers the ever-successfully- assailed fact that newspaper advertising is the best, and that any advertising agent who advocates magazine adyertls ing in lieu of it. is trying to palm off a substitute in order to make more profit for himself, and a substitute which Is not only inferior but also twice as expensive. Yet very often the advertiser instead uf simply giving his agent a positive order to place the business in newspapers, al- lows the agent to suggest little maga- zine advertising to start, and he soon finds that the magazine camel having once got his nose in the tent under the skilled guidance of the agent, crowds his whole body in and there Is no room for newspapers. Then the campaign either turns out failure enough real advertising is done by local dealers, or
  the goods in their own newspaper ads, to make some impression and even this the agent carefully explains Is due to the magazines
 Perhaps the most Imaginable invention of the magazine agents and the maga- zines to hoodwink the general advertiser is their famous doctrine that general ad- vertising differs In kind from local ad- vertising and gets best results from mag azines. They admit that newspaper ad- vertising is essential in all local fields but advance the startling proposition. "Gen- eral advertising is different; for that use magazines" This Is their great hypnotic wand and many a big business man nay ing 1t waved over his head has fallen into a trance and become as clay in the hands of the potter. For who that knows aught of advertising is nothing else than a multiplying of local fields If newspapers are best to cover one ety. which is local advertising, how can they help being best to cover six cities, or twelve, or the whole country?

 Perhaps 1t Is unnecessary to charac- terize American scenes and localities in terms of European geography, but tLe practice has been long established. With the resort regions of California an. Florida each claiming equities as the American Riviera with the set dement's along the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean sea adopting the phrase 'the American Mediterranean" and with the mountains of Colorado her aided as the American Alps, I may perhaps be pardoned for proposing Chesapeake bay as our American Ad- riatic.

draw multitude of travellers to the overlooked Eden that lies all about, in whicL every American has a right to feel personal interest and proprie- torship.
 When in 1907 John Smith first en- tered the waters of the new Adriatic sea, he lifted his voice in prophecy: "1 nere is but one entrance to this country" he wrote "The cape on the south Is called Cape Henry, the north cape is called Cape Charles. Within is country that may have the pre- negatives over the most pleasant places known, for earth and heaven never agreed better to frame a place for mans haD-~ation. The mildness of the air, the fertility of the soil, and the situation of the rivers are so pro- p-~4ous to the use of man, as no place Is more convenient for pleasure, profit ahd mans sustenance under any laf1 tude or climate. So, then, here is the place: nurse for soldiers, a practice for mariners, trade for merchants, d reward for the good, and that which is most of all, a business (most accept able to God) to bring such poor inf dels to the knowledge of God and His Holy Gospel"
 And where this prophet looked first upon the new land and prophesied, our government maintains Fortress Mon roe, nurse for soldiers. Where he first cast anchor in Hampton Roads our national practice for mariners; where he first landed, now stands Nor folk, one of the foremost commercial cities of the south, a trade for mer- chants, while across the arm of the sea Is Hampton Institute for the in struction of the Indian youth.
 For more than two hundred years veritable kings lived and dispensed such royal hospitality throughout this favored land that the story of it will long remain a vital part of the TO- nance of American history. Into this great bay flow four historic rivers, and upon bay and rivers steamers offer passenger and freight service in every direction to the towns and landings which are the ports of fruitful and picturesque region.
 There Is a remarkable analogy be- tween our Adriatic and the Adriatic of the ancients. On one side of the Chesapeake lies the Italy" of Amer ica, as the Past Shore" Is often termed, and here the government off cially locates the healthiest spot on our continent. On the other side of our Adriatic is the mainland that was once at the front of American culture and where the first institutions of learning were founded In the New World; where our colonial patriots proclaimed the republic; region now fallen into decay almost like to that of modern Greece after her great civil wars.
 In days of old the riches of the east passed through the Adriatic and thence overland to enrich all Europe. Through our Adriatic, in the youth of the coun- try, passed the wealth and refinement of the Old World, to mold the civiliza. tion of the New In time, as the main- land, bordering on the old Adriatic, devastated by war, was left to the en- ervated Turk, so our historic battle grounds became the heritage of a dusky race, and the negro has proved an equal blight upon land that was once the richest in a New World.

CHARACTER IN THE MAKING.
A Stalwart Soul Is Made Only By
 Universities.

It is not meaningless phrase nor an empty assertion when it is declared that one should count it all joy when she is afflicted by circumstances, dis ciplined by events not of her own making and beyond her control By this token she may know that she IS chosen for some sacred use and pur- rose.
 The Old-time workers in metals. whose productions have come down to the present age as models of the true in line and beautiful in art, never did their best work, fashioned nearest to their loftiest ideals, until they used the ''1ne-spun gold" from which such statues as that of Diana of the Ephe- sians" were wrought. Cheap material is brittle and so is easily broken and destroyed. The coarser the uses to which they are to be put the less iron and steel are worked over. For instru- ments which are to acquire a fine edge and serve important and delicate pur- poses, the best steel is selected and then is fired and hammered and pol ished to the degree nearest perfection that is possible to attain, says the Au- gust Delineator.
 So the spirit and heart and brain which Is most ductile and flexible and quick to take the desired edge and shape is set apart for the honor of Gods hammering that 1t may become fit for high and delicate uses. The coarser and more brittle spirits and natures of those who have by many been thought to be so lucky" in hay ing so few trials are not because of their unfitness and consequent unfit ness selected for the hammering and refining that brings forth the wonder working tool of God

THIS MORNING
ON POINT
Owl Saloon Was Destroyed by
Fire Building Was En-
tirely Consumed.

Fire at 3 o'clock this morning en-
tirely destroyed the Owl saloon build
ing, located on Minnesota point. The
building and fixtures were valued at
$4,000, and there was an insurance of
$1,000. Samuel Forkey owned the
building, and John Skaardy was the
proprietor of the saloon. The restau-
rant in connection was owned by
Samuel Forkey, and his loss is esti-
mated at about 5000.
The fire was discovered by PATROL
man Dick Humble. Mr.. Skaardy had
left the saloon two hours previous to
the time the blaze was discovered, and
says every thing was in good shape at
that time.
Fifteen minutes after the blaze was
discovered, the Grand Forks fire de-
partment was called, and they arrived
on the scene just when the walls be-
gan to crumble. The East Side fire
department did not go to the fire at
all, the engine not leaving the hall.
The fire department committee of
the East Grand Forks council feels
very grateful to the Grand Forks fire
department for their work, for al
though they were called to late to do
any work on the building destroyed,
they protected adjoining property.
