Lent

"The world, the flesh and the
devil" will go into their annual 40
day exile February "a. At least that
is the official supposition. Some
people may entertain doubts as to
the actuality of said retirement, but
according to all ecclesiastical au-
thorities his satanic majesty is sup
posed to be banished to the far dis
lance on that date.
Along with him will go the fes-
tive tango, the dangerous "hesita-
ton and the dog cared bridge deck.
All of which means that February
"a is Ash Wednesday, the day which,
according to the church calendar,
the Lenten season begins. The Sun
days do not count. in the forty days
Of Lent, and as a result Easter Sun
day will not come until April IL,
A renewal of the activities of the
aforementioned H. S. NJ. may be ex-
pected ON that date. The almanac
forecast also indicates that April IL

luge of new hats, gowns, etc, and
that hubbys ,pocketbook may be ex-
pected to wear a lean and hun cry
look as a consequence. The chief
break in the monotony of the Len
ten season may be expected to come
on March II, which from time i'm

feast of st. Patrick Other important
occasions are mid-Lent Sunday

iWesquete from smother letter. dated
December 10. 1906: II praise Peruna
to all the sick. The people know
my case. and they praise 1t Also"
In letter dated November %.
1909. we qnote Rev. Roberts: "Pe-
runa gave me back my life ten
years ago. All my; aoquaintances
know that. am certainly thankful
TO you for your Kindness"
In q later letter. dated January IS,
1910. he says: 81 shall ever in the
future, as In the past, be ready to
speak In praise Of Peruna to all suf-
ferers. I, believe my mira culous cure
has been the means Of many others
being cured In this county"
From asletter OF; Septembers 1911,
we quote q few words: II am still
among thes living. AS to Peruna, I
do not feel that ! have words to ex-
press the faith ! have in its. merits.
p feel that Peruna has been the
means, through the kind providence
Of God, Of prolonging my life for
more than ten years..

weeks. am now better. I consider
that Peruna has carried me over a
dozen years Of life. always stand
ready to tanswer any question in ref
erence to Peruna.''
We quote from his last letter, dated
January 2. 1913: Dear Friends: I
wish this bright New Years to ex-
press my thanks to you for your
kindness. Trusting that you may
have a successful and happy year, and
that your medicine may prove a
blessing to many as it has to me, I
am yours as ever, G. w. Roberts,
Hartsell. Alabama, r. F. D. 2. Box
a."
It is not necessary for us to add
any words to this story. The elo-
quence and pathos of these letters
are more convincing than arguments
or afadavtts. Who can doubt the
clergyman's story? Who can doubt
that Peruna saved his life?

"In order to prove that we have a
better team than Bemidji we would
like to challenge them to a game on
the Bagley floor and by an impartial
referee, but Mcintosh is out for the
championship, and so what's the
use," say the Mcintosh Times. No.
thing would suit the Bemidji team
better than to play the Mcintosh
bunch on any floor to the liking of
the manager and players of that
city. Mcintosh was completely out
classed here and the question of the
Times asking what is the use of an
other game, as Mcintosh is out for
the championship, seems more or
less Of a joke. If the two fives should
meet again Mcintosh would have
about as much chance as "Packy"
Mcfarland will have with mike
Gibbons" should the former ever
get up nerve to meet the st. Paul
wonder in the pugilistic ring.

Sieen .Curiosities.

One of the curious facts brought to
light by the scientists who are fond
Of trying to solve the mystery of sleep
is that when one is fast asleep some
part Of his brain or. several parts of it
may at the same time be awake A
oman may walk, talk, sing or solve
mathematical problems and yet at the
same time be safely in the land of nod
Another curious fact. about sleep is
that the further the part Of the body
is away from the brain the less sound
-iy it sleeps. A touch on the toe will
awaken one much more readily than
q touch on the shoulder.

BATTLEFIELD DISTANCES.

From Answers.
When people read that armies are
engaging each other at two thousand
Yards distance they are apt to imag-
ing that the combatants can see each
other: but, as a matter of fact, they
cannot. At that distance it is impo3-
sible to distinguish between a man
and a horse, and even at 1900 yards,
especially where there is any dust, it
requires the best kind Of eyes to tell
infantry from cavalry.
At nine hundred yards the move
ments become clearer, although it is
not until they get within $50 yards
of each other that the heads OF the
columns can be made out with any
thing like certainty.
Infantry can be seen in the sun =
light much more easily than cavalry
or artillery, because less dust is rails
ed. Besides infantry is distinguished
by the glitter of the muskets. At
two thousand yards, however, every
thing is unsatisfactory
