Woodward Quits Ministry.

The Wisconsin conference of the
M. E. church will complete it's bust
ness at Edgerton on the case of Rev.
w. H. Woodward the Omro pastor
who has lately been prominent in
politics, brought in a verdict recon-
mending that he. be reprimanded by
the bishop. Before the reprimand
could be given Mr.. Woodward re-
signed from the ministry and his resig-
nation was accepted by the confer
ence The charge of mal-administra-
ton, made by Mr. Woodward against
his district superintendent, Rev. s. H.
Anderson, was found to be without
foundation.
1t is stated on good authority that
instead of five districts there will be
only four next year; one district SUI
perintendent will be relieved at his
own request.
Edgerton has given royal entertain
ment to the conference; homes have
been freely opened to the ministers
and many are disappointed in the fact
that there are not enough ministers
to furnish all with guests.

GRIM FAMILY DINNER PARTY

A remarkable reason for divorce
has come before the court in Chicago
1t was the plea of a man who said
that he wanted divorce because his
wife set plates on the table at each
meal for the deceased members of her
family, and not satisfied with this, she
held imaginary conversations with the
deceased during each meal and con-
versation generally relating to the
quality of the menu, or to striking in
cidents in the lives of these relatives.
The man averred that these uncanny
proceedings got on his nerves-he had
peculiar chilly and creepy feelings
and that his life had become a yerita-
BILE burden, and he prayed the relief
a divorce assures. The court took
the matter under consideration.

Iemonade- Rest of Drinks.

Lemonade from the juice of fresh
fruit is one Of the best and safest
drinks for any one, whether in health
or not. 1t is useful for most stomach
diseases, gravel, liver complaint and
fever. It is a specific against skin
diseases, being one of the best anti,
scorbutics known. If the gums are

1t keeps them in good condition, and
used for the hands once day in
washing it makes the skin soft and
smooth and removes dirty stains II
Is good for a cold if taken in hot wa
ter on going to bed, and in intermi6
tent fevers it has been found useful
when mixed with hot black coffee
without sugar.

HOW MYSTERY WAS SOLVED

The story of a woman's strange pre-
sentiment, which led to the discovery
of child who had disappeared from
her home, comes from Lavenham, in
Suffolk, England. All attempts to find
a child of three named Gladys May
Bradbrooke had failed in spite of the
efforts of the police, who had searched
two days and dragged three ponds.
On the third day Mrs. Welham, a
neighbor, had a presenttment that the
child would be found in disused well
some distance from the village. A
search was made, and the childs body
was found floating in the water, which
is ten feet below the ground level.

OYSTER CATCHES MOUSE.

One of the most remarkable mouse
captures ever recorded was that OF an
oyster in the larder of an establish
ment on Colchester, England, which
took place recently. The mouse was
searching for food and nibbled at the
dainty morsel presented to view in
an open oyster shell, The result was
disastrous, the oyster closing it's shell
and catching the mouse by the nose
as in a patent trap. Attention was
drawn to the capture by the squeak.

Fall of a Mountain.

Natural causes sometimes bring
about sudden lowering of the heads of
lofty mountains, but perhaps there is
no record of the operations Of man
having achieved such feat except in
the case Of the vast rock slide at Tur
tie mountain. in the province of Al
berta, Canada, IN 1903. The mining
town Of Frank was overwhelmed, and
the height of the mountain was re-
duced as much as 1,00c feet The fall
resulted from the homecoming by
miners of ten-foot seam of coal pene-
trating the base Of the mountain.
