A mad dog broke up the services
and put to fight the congregation in
st. Johns Episcopal church in West
Hoboken. In the middle of the SER
mon the huge mongrel dashed through
the open door and down the center
aisle. The terrified congregation
scrambled over seats, huddled in cor
ners and tried to escape from the
building. One little girl was bitten in
the leg. She was hurried away by her
parents.
Then the dog made for the minis.

that under his careful guidance, this
prosperous and peaceful country will
steer clear from all embodiment

Mrs. Jones has chosen Mankato as a
location for their future home on
account of It's growing facilities for

three girls, and they go from this
neighborhood with the very. best
wishes of everybody. and doubtless
they will be received by a host of

felt everywhere with the family, the
late husband and father having been
taken from them In life and the
children are yet In tender years. r

make her religious home with the
