Christian Advocate.
This remarkable book of SIS
pages, unanimously illustrated
and elegantly bound, has been
issued by The Thomson Publish
ing Company" of St. Louis, Mo-,
and is sold by subscription.
We would advise our young
friends who are out Of employ
ment to seek the agency and can
vass for this book. 1t is certainly
one of the most readable, enter
tanning and edifying volumes we
have read in a long time. It was
almost retracing our trip around
the world, with less than one
thousandth Of the money and
one-hundredth of the time requir-
ed for our first trip"
The great problems Of civiliza-
ton, religion, philosophy and gov
eminent in Japan, China, the
Philippines, India, as we'll as
Europe, are presented in a clear
light by a great brain. Mr.. Bryan
was accompanied on this trip by
his wife and two younger child
rem, William ]. Jr., and Grace,
aged Is and ii, respectively.
They started September ri, 1895,
and reached home September
1906, sixteen days less than one
year. While most Of the trip was
in the North Temperate zone
they were below II equator {
few days in Java, and for ;
while above the arctic circle il
- Norway.
This book ought to be in every
!, home where there are boys ans
girls with brains and promise.

In large cities, like Chicago and

Obituary.

Hanna Gruenwald was born on the
7th day of August, 1882, at Motel,
Pommerania, Germany, and was
baptized and brought up a member of
the Lutheran church; its interests were
always dear to her during her long life.
When grown to womanhoood she was
united in wedlock with VIM. Macken-
burg in 1855, who preceded her in
death five years ago. This union was
blessed with 9 children; 6 sons, Freder-
ick, Herman, William, John, Albert,
Charles, and 8 daughters, Bertha, Nina
and Anna, all of whom survive her
with the exception of her Oldest son
Frederick who died shortly after his
father. In 1867, the family decided to
seek home in the New World. In
1869, they moved to this county from
Waukesha, Wis, and here the deceased
had her home to the day of her death.
Last autumn increasing feebleness
compelled her to give up housekeeping
and make her home with her daughter
Anna (Mrs. Christ. Evert.) From
Christmas on she was failing fast and
on Tuesday last, January 18th, passed
away. The funeral Service was con-
Quoted in Emmanuel Lutheran church.
Interment was in New Oregon Gem
etery.

Easy to MIX rhis.

What viii appear very interesting to
many people Eere is the article taken
from New York daily paper, giving
a simple prescription, as formulated by
a noted authority. who claims that he
has found positive remedy to cure
almost any case of backacha or kidney
or bladder arrangement, in the follow
ing simple prescription, il taken before
the stage Of Bright's disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake well in a bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A well-known druggist here at home,
when asked regarding this prescription,
stated that the ingredients are all
harmless, and can be obtained at q
small cost from any good prescription
pharmacy, or the mixture would be put
up if asked to do so. He further stated
that while this prescription is often
prescribed in rheumatic affections with
splendid results, he could see no reason
why it would not be splendid remedy
for kidney and urinary troubles and
backache, as it has peculiar action
upon the kidney structure, cleansing
these most important organs and help.

blood the foul acids and waste matter
which cause sickness and suffering.

The Cresco Court Of the Catholic
Order of Foresters had a very enjoy
able time last Wednesday evening when
State Chief Ranger F. A. O'Connor,
OF New Hampton, and his well drilled
degree staff of six gentlemen also from
New Hampton, assisted by the chap
lain of the court, Rev. Father Loose
brock, d. A. Lyons and Father Nor
ris of Lourdes, initiated a large class
of 18 new members and conferred the
second degree on 80 members. Too
much praise can not be given to State
Ranger O'Connor and his associates
for the mastery way in which they
eonduced the grand and impressive
ceremonies of the order.
The officers and members were re-
warded for their long evenings work
by a banquet arranged by the members
of the Court.

A GREAT COMBINATION.
When Husband, Wife and Mother-in in
law Co-operate.


Shortly after his marriage, which
took place in 1880, John Burns, the
British labor leader, settled down as a
journeyman engineer in Battersea and
twenty years after confessed that he
was the first engineer to make with
his own hands an electric tran,
car in Great Britain. In those days.
however, people did not believe that
electric traction was possible, and
Burns had to take the dynamo and
tram to the Crystal palace and run the
latter round the grounds for six months
before people could be induced to be-
lieve in the novelty.
But the people were so nervous that,
although the charge was only SiXpepce,
none of them would venture in the
newfangled invention. Then Burns was
struck with a brilliant idea. He said
to his wife, You have got to come
down to the palace three times week
and get into the first electric tram car
as a decoy duck for the others" This
was only temporarily successful. So
Burns brought along his mother-in-
law, "and," said the energetic labor
leader when relating the incident,
"when a husband, wife and a mother
in-law cooperate success is assured -

THE TWO ROMEOS.
Mrs. Siddons' Opinion of David Garrick
and Spranger Barry.

Mrs. siddons' Opinion of David Garriek
and Spranser Barry.
David Garrick and Spranger Barry
were both playing Romeo at the same
time in London. Barry played 1t at
Drury Lane on the Monday, and Gar
rick played it the next night at Covent
Garden, and the town was divided as
to which was the greater Romeo-fn
fact, there was quite great excite
ment about it, and they acted it upon
such different lines and with such mar
velously different conceptions that the
people argued the case as to which
Shakespeare intended. The fact is that
Shakespeare intended it to be acted
well. and if one mans temperament
suited it best to act in that way 1t
would do for another temperament the
other way.
So they asked Mrs. Siddons, who was
the Juliet alternately with the same
Romeo, which she considered better OF
the two, and she said:
'It Is difficult to say. They are both
wonderfully great, but will tell you
how they impress me in the balcony
scene In the balcony scene Garrick
seems so eager, SO intense and so full
of fire and spirit that I'm afraid he'll
jump up in the balcony to me, and Bar,
ry is so lovable and fascinating that
I'm afraid I shall have to jump down
from the balcony to him.

Reportorial Persistence.

Once a reporter went to a certain
residence in New York to get details
about the master of the house, who
had just died. In order that an obit-
uary notice might appear in the news
paper which he represented. Such de.
tails, as a rule, are easy to get. The
reporter, therefore was intensely sur.
prised when the widow of the de,
ceased, with scarcely word, slammed
the door in his face.
She retired into the house Present
ly the doorbell rang furiously. She re-
fused to stir. Again the doorbell rang
more furiously than before. Still the
lady of the house would not stir.
II have told him that l don't want
to say anything about my husband
she thought to herself, "and he has nc
right to be SO persistent"
So she sat still while the doorbell
rang again and again and again.
At last she could stand it no longer
sc, opening q window over the front
door, she poked her head out and re
marked severely:
Young man, do not desire to say
anything to you. Kindly do not dis
turb me any more. Go away, young
man."

THE OLD CIRCUS POSTER.
Pretentious Language With Which the
Show Was Described.

Show was pSSCFlDSOs
The grandiloquent extravaganza OF
language of the old time circus poster
is illustrated by this reproduction
which is given verbatim:
"There will be presented resplen-
dent series of sublime. moral, interest
ing, instructive, amusing. and wonder
full scenes which would appear entirely
too fabulous if expressed in an adver-
tisement They must be seen to be
duly appreciated. These great displays
will unfold in all the loveliness and
beauty of enchantment, carrying the
minds of the bewildered or spellbound
spectators off on the gentle wings OF
the Imagination to such pageantry as
they might dream Of after reading
few pages of Arabian Nights Enter
tainments.' Words are really wanting
to give adequate expression. Web
ster's unabridged fails most signally in
language to fully portray semblance
of the reality. Economy may be learn
ed at this great college in a single
evening. Here the visitor will see
splendid specimens of the zygodacty-
lous race that live upon the earth or

superintendents In courtly dress will
elucidate the peculiarities of each with
guarded suaviloquence."
