SARAH MILDRED WILMER.
Next Number on Lyceum Course at
Grand Monday, Nov. ID.

Miss Sarah Mildred WILMER will
be the next Lyceum attraction in
DEBORAH Monday night, Nov. 10. 1t is
not too much to say that Miss Will
mer in the quality Of her work now
ranks in the Lycuem where Sarah
Bernhard ranks in the theatrical
profession.
In her ability to interpret the mas
ter literary productions from the
platform she has no superior.
In temperament, or emotional
power, the ability to move an audi
ence to laughter or tears, Miss Will
mer is without an equal.
No task of Interpretation has been
too great for her and no audience,
however great the expectation, ever
has gone away disappointed.
This generation has not known a
reader so distinctly sent as a mes
senger of enlightenment and cheer,
and none has more clearly discerned
her mission than has Sarah Mildred
Willmer-the Sarah Bernhard of
the Lyceum.

Chickens Come High.

Carl Hovden OF Madison Township
sold &c spring ROSTERS on the De-
corah market last week, and they
weighed 161 pounds, brought 16
cents a pound and Melted Mr.. Hovden
$25.2S, nearly one dollar apiece. The
chickens were Just ordinary farm
chickens, a mixture of Rhode Island
Reds, and were not fattened by Mr..
Hovden for sale 1t certainly was a
good sum for a few chickens and
gives a hint where the Thanksgiving
turkey will be roosting this year.
They will perhaps cost around 80
cents a pound, but that's not an Off
cial price, only guess.

Before PatroniZing Peddlers.

Before patronizing any travelling
peddler or fakir ask yourself the fol-
lowing list of questions, submitted
by an exchange: us the peddler's
name on the list that supports your
minister? Well, hardly. Did he give
anything to build the church? Did
he? Did he set up with you when you
were sick? When your barn burned
did his name appear on the list of
your neighbors who bought you q
new wagon? Was he one of the pail
bearers when death came to your
home? Did he carry you on his
book when you were out of work so
long five years ago? Did he pay tax
es to support the schools of the town.
Will he work for our town early and
against every other on the face of
the earth?" If be won't respond to
all the requirements he certainly is
not entitled to as much considera-
ton as your local business men, for
they help you in these particulars
and many more.

Among the very inspiring books OF
the season is the new autobiography
of Anna Howard Shaw, called "ThC
Story of u Pioneer" The author knew
i'm childhood the struggle Of the new
settler on the frontier. She did pion-
ecr work in the woman's suffrage
cause and through her whole varied
career, met one difficulty after anoth-
or with the true spirit of the pioneer
The story is full Of dramatic situa-
tons, some of them full of humOr
others of pathos. The interest is vel
sustained to the end. The author wai
hampered all her life by insufficient
means and the opposition of her fam
lily. Yet she attained her goal by hei
indOmitable courage and perseverance
in overcoming obstacles.
The story of u Pioneer is published
by Harpers' Bros. New York for SO. 90
