A Successful Enterprise.

The Methodist missionary society
met on Wednesday at the home of
Mrs. j. Knadson, who, with her
mother, Mrs. Lee, were the April
hcstesses. Lilies were the flowers
for the Easter month. A large com
pany gathered in spite Of the heavy
rain. The luncheon served at the
close of the session proved the host
esses to be proficient in the culinary
art. The society voted that hence
forth each member should carry the
dishes for her personal use at lunch
con. SO that the hostess will have an
easier time.
The lesson study on Missionaries
at Work" was ably led by Mrs. A
g. Chadbourn, assisted by Mesdames
Hubbard and Starr. 1t proved both
interesting and.encouraging Names
and facts regarding famous women
were roll call responses.
Mrs. E. Horr read touching leaf
| let, relating how a Korean Bible
woman walked on her round of duty
until her feet were blistered, ulcer
ated and swollen, when she dropped
down weeping. The missionary re-
proved her for not taking more care
of herself. She replied, Il am will
ing to suffer this way for Jesus
sake, but do you think I shall ever
suffer as much as you Americans do
for him? Will he know that | love
him as much as your people do?"
And the missionary turned away her
head and thought of her American
people.
President Hitchcock spoke Of the
jubilee celebration of Women's For
eign Missionary societies, organized
by women inexperienced in public af-
fairs, opposed by the clergy, with
out financial backing. Now has
81, 433 societies and auxiliaries. The
work has been presented by talented
speakers in 80 great cities, commenc-
ing in California and closing in New
York. The object has been to show
the opportunity of Outstanding
the Orient, to deepen the prayer
life, to enlarge the sense of obliga-
ton and to show that the standards
Of giving which were right for our
mothers are not right for their
daughters

People with kidney ills want to be
cured. When one suffers the tor
lures of an aching back, relief is
eagerly sought FOR. There are
many remedies today that relieve
but do not cure. Here is evidence
to prove that Doan's Kidney Pills
cure, and the cure is lasting.
Mrs. Robert Pile of Redwood
Falls, Mimi, said: "For long time
| was troubled by a constant, dull
ache in the small Of my back, espe-
cially bothersome after hard days
work. If stopped or attempted to
lift, the pain became almost I'M
bearable. | knew there was some
thing radically wrong with my kid
neys and on hearing about Doan's
Kidney Pills, decided to try them.
| got supply at Hitchcock's drug
store and was agreeably surprised
to find that they were especially
suited to my case. Part of the con-
tents of one box Of Doan's Kidney
Pills brought relief and since then l
haye had but little cause for COM
plant. | intend to give Doan's Kid
ney Pills a more thorough trial,
knowing that benefit will be re-
ceived."

Renyille Star Farmer: A sad case
OF insanity recently occurred about
live miles from Sacred Heart, at the
home of Ole g. Othus. Some time
ago Mr.. Othus became unbalanced
IN his mind, caused by epileptic fits,
and was committed to the asylum at
st. Peter. Some time after, his
wife went down to see him and up-
on returning was taken i'll, and on
Sa' urday became insane. On Sun
day Judge of Probate Matson and
Sheriff Wick went up and the Judge,
after reports of Drs. Benson and
Laws were made, pronounced her
insane and the Sheriff took her to
3. Peter Sunday. This is sad case,
as 1t leaves three children without
parental care.
Evansville Enterprise: w. j.
Buchanan, 'Klindike Bill" as he is
called, was in Evansville Monday
with his two St. Bernard dogs and
toboggan cart. Mr.. Buchanan is
hfty years of age and lives in Grand
Forks, N. D, where his family of
ten children reside. He left Grand
Forks on June II. 1908, and when
ne reaches there he will receive S1O,-
OO0 as prize from the state of
North Dakota. Mr.. Buchanan has
seen some hard times during his
travels; at one time in Alaska he
and his dogs went ten days without
a bite to eat. On the tenth day he
was obliged to kill two of the pup
pies, cook them and share them with
the two dogs left him. He states
that he will write story of his trav-
els that will be published in book
form.
The first application to be made in
this country under what is known as
the "Torrens Title" law has just
been made by Mr.. Fuller of Plain
view through his attorney, Mr.. Muir
doch, to secure a Torrens title to quite
a large tract of land in the town of
Zumbrota. This is practically the
same system which now prevails in
Canada. When the court has passed
on the title of APPELLANT ard has de-
creed that he has perfect title, he
will order the registrar of title, who
in this country isthe register of deeds.
to register the title and to give the
applicant certificate Of title. These
certificates Of title show that appli-
cant is the owner of the land. There
is never any more need Of an alb
stract Of title or examination of title.
When a man wishes to sell his land
he gives a deed and turns over his
certificate and the registrar issues
the purchaser a new certificate Of IT,
tie which now shows that the pur-
chaser now owns the land. No at
torney needs to be consulted on the
transfer because there can be- no
question about the title where a
man holds certificate, and an i'm
portant real estate deal can be closed
up the same day it is made, for the
title can be turned over with no
more trouble than is ,occasioned in
selling a horse. The expense is not
large and our Canadian neighbors
have found the system to work adj
