STORY OF The WHIPPLE TWINS

Mankato friends of the Misses Goldie
and Sylvia Whipple have often won
dered where they are now located
In an interview with Mock Sad
ALI of the Sherman Kelly Stock COM
pany, the theatrical man gave the fol-
lowing interesting information to The
Rochester Post and Record.
Eight years ago, the Mankato girls
joined his troupe here for an extended
road trip. They were twins and in ap-
pearance, looked so much alike that
even their best friends could scarcely
tell them apart. Mock Sad ALI is a
magician and when he first saw them
he realized the great possibilities that
this similarity in appearance offered.
He created an illusion act, using the
two girls, and this feature of his bill
proved so mystifying and so wonderful

SERMON DELIVERED BY
REV. R. W. HOBBS AT THE
BAPTIST CHURCH YES.
TERDAY

600 900 or more than our first Liberty
loan. 1t is waste absolute, resulting in
ruined manhood, in desolated homes
and in unhappiness of every sort.
Furthermore, 100000 bushels of
grain go annually into the breweries;
99,00O,0O0 more into the distilleries, or
used for industrial and commercial
purposes, S5,000,000 bushels of grain
are used each year in the United
States for beer, whisky and other
liquors. This waste should be stopped
forthwith. And this suggestion leads
to the thought curing this waste.
First. Prohibit at once as a war
measure, as the most sensible econo-
my, the manufacture and sale of in
toxicating drinks. Make it condition
with the allies that if we are to econ
omize in order to send them our food
stuff for their maintenance that they
shall not permit it or their own pro-
duction of grains to be manufactured
into intoxicating liquors.
Second. Let us all eliminate table
waste. Wouldn't it be sensible thing
to cut out at our missionary societies
aid gatherings. and the likes the serv-
ing of refreshments to people who
have plenty to eat in their own
homes?
Third. Economic in the right way.
Cut out your extravagances rather than
your benevolences.
Meet all sacrifices with a cheerful
and hopeful spirit. In his poem, ''The
Outlook" the late Henry Slade Golf
said:
"Have faith, oh We nations; for 10!
from the realms
Of strivings and struggles and
pains,
And of mourning and death and of
slaughter and woe
Der a continents far reaching
plains,
Lo! from out of the tumult and
struggle and stress
A newness of freedom shall form,
And the sunlight of God shall illumine
the realms
Where now are the pressure and
storm.
It is He that createth, and He that
DER rules,
Though the passions of men cloud
the skies.
1t is He that directeth the nations to
tread
Where the pathay of righteousness
lies,
And if avarise still must be driven
from earth
BY the use of the severing sword,
Still, still it is He that achieveth His
ends,
1t is He, our Creator and Lord"
