Church Closed Last Week at Galesburg, Ill.—Bishop Shaffer Galesburg, Ill.—(Special)—The annual conference of the Afrikan Methodist Episcopal church concluded a very successful and profitable session last week. It was the first conference since the national conference session. This conference murmured very greatly because the general conference transferred a part of the original territory to Illinois, crusing them to loose about 3,000 followers. Time will not permit us to give a daily report, but suffice it to say that there were some very able papers and addresses from both men and women and a few of the general officers. Below I give some of the transfers: Rev. G. W. Gaines succeeds the late J. W. Malone as peesiding elder of the Iowa district. Rev. Timothy Reeves was transferred to Illinois, also Rev. A J. Carey, who gets Bethel church, Chicago; Rev. James. R. Clemens superannuated; Jas. H. Higgins, A. G. Murray, J. H. Fisher transferred to the Illinois conference, while Geo. H. Slater was awarded the scholarship and goes to Ohio; G. M. Tillman goes to Kansas City conference. Impressive memorial services were held in honor of the late P. E., J. W. Malone. The financial report showed that the conference had raised nearly $4,000 for various purposes. The people here had made it so pleasant that the following resolutions were passed: Whereas, The Rev. S. L. Wright and wife and the people of Knoxville, out of the largeness of their hearts, tendered the society a most pleasing reception; and Whereas, The Rev. J. H. Ferribe and his wife; officers and members of Allen Chapel, have so pleasantly received and so cordially entertained the Iowa conference branch of the M. M. workers, and, Whereas, The homes of the good people of Galesburg have been at our disposal during this annual session, and that not a criticism comes from the host or a complaint from the guests, therefore be it Resolved, That the women of the Iowa conference branch M. M. society, representing every charge in this company, tender the pastor and his good wife, officers and members of Allen Chapel and the people of Galesburg at large our heartfelt thanks for this most cordial reception. The resolutions of thanks passed by the conference were as heartily thankful to the pastor and his wife and the officers and members and all others who had helped make the stay of the delegates here so pleasant and profitable.

To the editor of the Columbia, South Carolina, State: Appreciating the sturdy efforts you have put forth to foster and maintain in Columbia a political purity and moral uprightness, and earnestly desiring the highest measure of prosperity for the home of my youth, I take the liberty of writing to you in reference to a most revolting and disgraceful scene which occurred at the depot in Florence on Monday evening. The troops from Manassas on their way home were detained here for a short time. While the company from this vicinity was leaving the cars, some men from another company, which later went through, amused themselves by tossing negroes in blankets. They were none too particular in handling these creatures of their sport and did not always get the full consent of the individual to be tossed. One eye-witness informed me that when one negro refused to ce tossed the crowd of soldiers most brutally assaulted him and beat him, "pounding his face to a jelly," as my informant expressed it. I asked why the officers did not interfere, and my informant replied that the commanding officer officer of the company was standing by and seemed to approve of the deed. In not stopping it he was to all intents and purposes aiding and abetting. I was furthermore informed by this gentleman that he had learned that the perpetrators of this outrage were members of one of the Columbia companies—the Governor's Guards! I sincerely trust for the honor of my native city and the fair name of that ancient and honorable company that he was misinformed as to the company. The outrage certainly occurred. It should be looked into by the proper officials and the offenders when convicted should be drummed out as vicious cowards. How can we expect the negro to be contented, law-abiding and peaceful with such an example of brutality and lawlessness set before him? Yours for honor, justice and law.

DISHMAN ROBINSON & DISHMAN Barbers. FIRST CLASS SERVICE The only Union Equal Rights Barber Shop in the City..... Southeast cor. Fourth and Walnut Price, Five Cents. Burlington's correspondent was a Mt. Pleasant visitor last Sunday, and while there had the pleasure of being invited by two of that city's society belles to take a drive to Salem, a small town nine miles south of Mt. Pleasant. When about five miles away from Mt. Pleasant the ladies lost their way, and instead of taking the right road to Salem the ladies drove into a small road which led and stopped in the famous Skunk river. The ladies seeing they were on the wrong road suggested turning back, which they did, and started to take a roundabout road and returning to Mt. Pleasant from the west instead of the south, after driving miles they lost the road again. Dusk began to steal upon us, and a blank look was depicted on both of their fair countenances. The corpse being a stranger and not knowing where he was, they were trying to go, suggested turning back and returning the same road they came. The correspondent then took it upon himself for the first time to drive and in an hour or so had the ladies in sight of their homes, but not before the ladies had threatened to get out and walk, saving that he was on the wrong road. But when they came in sight of Mt. Pleasant their eyes filled with tears and they sang "Home, Sweet Home," as it had never been sang before. They even admired the animals along the road, such as sorrel and bay cows, etc. The correspondent certainly enjoyed the ride to Salem with Rose and Myra, but hope the next time they won" get lost. EASTERN USES OF PAPER. Japanese Would Find It Hard to Get Along Without It. The Japanese use paper at every moment. The string with which a deth-handed "darling of the gods" does up the articles you buy is made of paper. The handierchief (throw away after use) is paper, the partitions dividing the houses are paper; and the pane through which an indirect eye looks at you is paper! The pane is certainly wanting in transparency, but there is a simple remedy. One finger is passed through the paper—that is all! Afterward a small piece is stuck on the opening with a grain of rice. The men's hats, the cloak of the porter who carries his burden, singing a cadence, through the rain; the garment of the boatman who conducts you on board, the tobacco pouch, cigar case—all are paper! Those elegant flowers ornamenting the beautiful ha of the Japanese ladies, and the robe collars which are taken for cray—paper! NO CAUSE FOR GRATITUDE And Sturdy Scotchman Gave No L Service to His Maker. The following example of a quaint philosophical Scotch character is related in the Scottish American: The season had been an exceptionally bad one for farming, but in a church not far from Arboreth the officials had resolved, according to custom, to hold the annual harvest thanksgiving service. It was noticed that on that particular occasion Mr. Johnstone, a regular attendant and pillar of the church (whose crops had miserably failed), was not in attendance. The minister in the course of the following week met Mr. Johnstone and inquired of him the reason of his absence from church on such an important occasion "Weel, srl," replied Mr. Johnstone, "I dnain care about approachin' my Maker in a speorit o' sarcasm." Ambassador Bearded Czar Sir Jerome Bowes, Queen Elizabeth's ambassador to Ivan the Terrible, czar of Russia, in 1583, had an exciting time. Ivan had killed his own son a few years earlier in a fit of passion, and was no easy character to deal with. The czar saw fit to disparage the English queen, whom, he declared, "he did not reckon to be his fellow," there being those who wore her betters. Bowes could not stand this sort of thing, and pluckly asserted that his princess was as great as any in Christendom. "What! As great as the emperor of Germany?" demanded Ivan. "Why," answered Bowes, with a fine assumption of scorn, "such is the greatness of the queen, my mistress, that the king her father had not long since the emperor in his pay in his wars against France." The czar was at first more furious than ever, but in time he took Bowes into his favor. Old Hymns. There's lots of music in 'em—the hymns of long ago. And 'em's gray hated brother singing the ones I used to know. I sorter want to take a hand! I think of days gone by. "On the army hanks I stand and cast a wistful eye!" There's a lot of music in 'em—those dear, sweet hymns of old. With visions bright of land of light, and shining streets of gold; And I saw shinging-hands, where memry dreamed-hands. "From Greenland's key mountains to India's coral strands." An 'n' I love the old hymns, and when my time shall come. Before the light has left me, and my shinging-hands. If I can hear 'em sing them then I pass without a sigh. To 'Cannan's fair and happy land, where my possessions lie. —The Cooking Club. Measuring a Wink. How fast can a man wink? One who is interested in this fascinating subject has made experiments in connection with it, and successfully measured the time occupied by the several phases of the movement. He says: "The mean duration of the descent of the lid is seventy-five to ninety-one thousandths of a second. The interval while the eye is shut was in one case only fifteen hundredths of a second. The rising of the lid occupied seventeen hundredths of a second. A specially-arranged photographic apparatus was used for the experiment." Sen er eee ee ne .

One-third more starch for the same money. It is easy to find something good to say of success, but the struggle must go a-begging for encouragement A GREAT INSTITUTION: It is unusual that a single institution in a city of 8,000 people will overshadow in importance the case with the American School of Osteopathy, and A. T. Still infirmary at A. A stranger in Kirksville is immediately impressed with the idea that the town is sustained by this institution, in fact, and that it is the largest school and infirmary. It is the largest patronized university of its kind in the United States. Dr. Still's school enrolls over 700 students and conducts four terms of five months each before completing the course of study. There are also students in every state and territory of the Union. About two-thirds of the states have passed special laws legalizing the science. This school teaches every branch taught in the school. Its osteopathy is substituted for that. So through is the teaching in anatomy that is difficult by the students. At the infirmary, patients from every part of the country and with almost every element. For the past fifteen years almost every train coming to Kirikyeh has been led by the science of Osteopathy. By the thousands who have left the institution benefited from the science of Osteopathy to the world a rational method of cure. Several years ago a medical department of the school with the practice department of the school and this is still in operation. Hundreds of the worthy poor, who are unable to pay for their education, are embezzled by the senior students free of charge. The worm that is trodden on may that one good turn deserves another. Every housekeeper should know that if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz. one-full pound—while it will save up in %-sound packages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chemicals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12 oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has more volume than change in large letters and figures "16 oz." Demand Defiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron sticking. Defiance never sticks. He cannot have right thoughts of God who refuses to take thought for men. World's Fair Visitors. The Curtiss-Williams Co.

Seems to Be in No Hurry to Close With Kuropatkin - Gossacks Make Daring Raid About Japanese Flank, Threatening Line of Communication London, Sept. 29.—A dispatch to a news agency from Vladislovskos that according to reports from Port Arthur two Japanese torpedo boats and a Japanese steamer have been sunk by mines fired near Port Arthur during the last few days. A Japanese cruiser of the Nyatka type, it is adced, was badly damaged. St. Petersburg, Sept. 29.—Movements at the front, so far as disjoated by the meager dispatches received, are confined almost to the contiguous outpost skirmishes by means of which the Japanese are keeping in close touch with the Japanese along the whole of their front. Field Marshal Oyama's advance appears to be extremely deliberate. There are no indications as yet that he has begun to overlap Russian positions in cavalry is beginning to be apparent. They have had the better of it in a number of minor encounters. It appears that General Rennenkamp's movement to the southward on September 11, indicated by first reports, His Cossacks made a rapid sweep on September 22 and struck a Japanese force at Benshin, threatening their communications and causing considerable excitement. Relinforcement are rapidly arriving at Benshin and many convalescents are returning to duty. It is reported that General Kuropatkin has made a requisition on the authorities for officers to make up for those killed and wounded at the battle of Liao Yang. Japanese Losses Heavy. The Foo, Sept. 208—Russians residing here, seem to have received information that the Japanese losses in the last assault on Port Arthur, which began September 19, were 7,000. A Chinese who left the fortress on September 26 says that the Russian losses were between 500 and 600. This Chinaman says that the Japanese were unable to remain in the three supplementary forts which they had captured and that they retired at 4 o'clock on the afternoon of September 11, leaving three days of tremendous firing from the inner forts. He adds that the Russians attempted to bury the dead of both sides at night, because the decomposing bodies seriously menace health of the garrison. The Russians allege that it is doomed to undermine the health of the Russian troops by means of the odes from the decomposing bodies, and that for this reason they fire on the burial parties. One Chinese who was a member of a burial party says that the Japanese fired when he and other Chinese attack the Japanese fortress, and that when the wind carries the elos toward the Japanese the latter retire. Chinese say that the most severe attacks were made on the supplementary forts of the Itz and Anshu mountain forts. The Russians had undermined the ground and several hundred Japanese were blown up September 23. Reports received from the Miai islands mention a terrific report which shook the houses there on that date. New York, Sept. 29. -During the last ten days 2,500 soldiers have arrived at Chemulpo and other points, says a Herald dispatch from Seoul, Korea, forwarded last Sunday. The Japanese 4,000 pack ponies for the use of the army to advance northward along the eastern coast toward Vladivostok. The advance already has begun, as 1,400 Japanese troops with five main armies are reported to have arrived at Hamyeung. The advance guard was fired upon by the Cossacks. Ten men were killed and seventeen wounded. The Japanese were completely surprised and retreated to await the arrival of the French. The harbour at Gansu is being reinforced from Seoul and Pejengan. LETTER IS EXPLAINED. New York, Sept. 29.—The letter alleged to have received by Michael J. Donnelly, the leader of the meat strike, purporting to be one sent by President Roseveil, was copied from an editorial in the New York Evening Post of August 1. The letter post says: "The letter appeared as an editorial in the Evening Post of August 1 and was explicitly stated to be a letter which the president might have written with advantage to himself and the country. In other words, it was contemptibly an imaginary letter, written for the sake of making out certain truisms in regard to the meat strike." The Evening Post also says: "We had no thought, of course, or being able to make even a presentable imitation of the president's itinerary, of the time, commented upon and repudiated somewhat extensively in the press, we never dreamed of its ever coming, of figure as a campaign forgery." The supreme court has declined to enunciate the doctrine that a farm owner may be enjoined from growing bocchur and premitting their seed to blow where the wind listeth. John Hardon of Sioux county assured that such an injunction be granted against George Stultz, between whose farm and his own naught but a division fence. He asked Judge Geo. W. Dyer to issue an injunction "restraining the privilege of the bocchur and weeds being blown and drifted on his tend." Judge Dyer denied the application for injunction, and is sustained by the supreme court. Armies Now Cover a Front of Sixty Miles St. Petersburg, Sept. 28. —The latest development in the situation at the front is the diffuse establishment of the fact that Field Marshal Oyma has now begun to move up his left. General Kuropatkin's report today shows him on the west bank of the Liao river. A considerable concentration of Japanese is observed at Sanchan, on the Hun river, thirty-five miles northwest of Mukden, in the valley of the Pu river. The latter is a tributary of the Hun river, which crosses the line of railway midway between Tie pass and Mukden, and may finish a natural line of advance from Oyama's armies now apparently cover a front of sixty miles for enveloping movements. His wings are extended to the north, and his feet are extended to the Fessians have found little strength or pressure from the Japanese center. Oyama seems to be moving with great deliberation, probably gathering strength for a raid on the city. The temptation is made to close the net. Although the imaginary line connecting the extreme Japanese advance east and west of Mukden still passes ten miles below the city, it is evident that the position of Mukden cannot long be delayed. CPPOSES HIS FATHER. Predicts That Russia Will Triumph at This Time St. Petersburg, Sept. 29—Count Tolstoi's son, Leo, in an article in the Novoe Vremya, takes a position diametrically opposed to his father. He has just returned from seeing off his brother, who is departing to the front, and writes of the touching scenes he witnessed at Tambouff, as the reserve men left for the far east. Nevertheless, young Tolstoi says, the peasants are all united in agreeing that the war must be fought out until Japan is subdued. He adds: "The war is the period of her regeneration. The war in the far east is a great war, such as Russia has not seen since the days of Peter the Great—a war for the possession of the eastern shores of the European-Asiatic continent, just as in the days of Peter the Great it was for the western shores. Just as in the war with Sweden, we suffered at Narva, but we conquered at St. Petersburg. We were conquered with the Asiatic Swedes, but there will come a day when Japan will be vanquished." In concluding, young Tolstoi predicts the triumph of Russia, which, he declares, is destined to "become, instead of England, the greatest nation in the world." He says that the Slavs will spread over 'and absorb all the neighboring peoples they have already subjugated in the Crimea, the Caucasus, eastern Russia and Siberia, adding: "The is the only power destined to realize the dream of world-conquest." NO FAITH IN HAUGE MOVE. Russian Papers Sarcastic as to Meeting at Berlin St. Petersburg, Sept. 30.—The Novosti, in a bitterly scathery editorial, refers to the conference of the institute of Intraturnal Law, which closed at Edinburgh yesterday, and to the proposal from the United States to re-assemble The Hague conference. The peper declares that international law is a polite myth, under cover of which the strongest nation takes the strongest position against record for its opponents' rights and feelings, and says there is not a tenet in the so-called code which has not been broken whenever it suited the service of some nation able to defy it. The only nations ever appealing to the international code, the editorial asserts, are too weak to stand up for their demands, and they have always found themselves in the strong arm of the most powerful nation always fixing the interpretation before the court. ARMY OF OVER A MILLION This Is Estimate of Japan's Force By Russia. St. Petersburg, Sept. 30. The Russ makes an intricate calculation of Japan's fighting strength, from winneth it concludes that the Japanese have a reservation of one million, one hundred thousand men upon which to defend the country, and are matched in the field. It says that the critics have been all along deceived both by the difference in the Japanese army on a war and on a peace footing, and by the statistics of the abebodied men fitted to respond to a call for military service. Russia, the Russ says, must reckon upon an effective one million strong when organizing to meet the Japanese in the far cast. FLAYS DIVORCE HABIT. Bishop Potter Calls for Church Action Against the Evil New York, Sept. 25.—Bishop Henry C. Potter vigorously attacked divorce in his report yesterday in the annual convention of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of New York. He declared that unless the church set itself against the spread of the cell society would release into a state of praetery in the priesthood and he urged the clergy to set itself against the church he characterized as a "godless license which flings aside the most sacred vows because of vexatious uncongeniality." Bishop Maes of Covington, Ky., who presided over yesterday's session of the Eucharistic Congress, appointed a committee to draw up resolutions dealing with the French government for its act enacting the Cathedral orders in that country, as suggested by Father Dougherty. 1,000 SING FOR VICTORY Moscow, Sept. 23—A popular open air prayer service was held here Tuesday in the immense square framing Sonkhorooroff tower which was filled with devout crowds on bended Russian armor for victory for the Russian army. The queen was erected at the foot of the tower, where the clergy, in gorgeous vestments, made intercession amidst the singing of a thousand chlorists. PARKER WRITED OF ISSUES. Democratic Nominee's Letter of Ac- ceptance. Made Public. Judge Parker's letter, supplementing his acceptance of the nomination for President of the United States, tendered him by the national Democratic convention, has been made public. In the document he reiterates his belief in the gold standard and expresses appreciation of the action of the convention on the subject. The Judge points out what he considers the dangers in the centralizing of power in national government, and takes strong ground against the so-called policy of "Imperialism." Tariff reform is declared to be one of the cardinal principles of the Democratic party and its necessity at this time great. The Dingley tariff law, the Judge asserts, is unjust and oppressive and properly named the "Mother of Trusts." He commits the party to a change in tariff rates in November to a Democrat in November, restoring his belief that the Republican senate will be unable to prevent it. Though disproved by official statistics the charge is made that the cost of living has increased far beyond advance in wages, and for this condition the rapacity of the the "trusts," fostered by the Dingley tariff, is held to blame. The document deals only in generalities, pointing out no remedy and saying only: "I favor such further legislation, within constitutional limitations, as will best promote and safeguard the interests of all the people." Reciprocal trade treaties, as advocated by President McKinley, Judge Robertson, and others, state that the Republican majority in the Senate has prevented the ratification of these treaties in the past. On the question of the independence of the Filipinos the candidate advocates "such measures of freedom as the Cubans enjoy," but not until "it can prudently be granted." The Cuban policy of the reclamation of arid lands in the West is indoors. Immediate building of the Panama canal is urged, though the document criticizes the "unjust methods" by which it is alleged the United States secured the route and rights. A policy favorable to the building up of an American merchant marine is advocated, though the methods by which this should be done are not mentioned. The sending of subsidies for the purpose is denounced. Judge Parker promises, in the event of the election of a Democratic executive and Congress, a full investigation of all government departments. Liberal pension laws, he declares are simply acts of justice. President Roosevelt's action in promulgating Pension Order. No. 78, granting pensions to all veterans over the age of 62, is sharply censured and the promise made that it will be revoked if the party is given power. A policy of mass deportation in the affair of murder, the Judge declares the proper course to pursue. He makes the charge that governmental expenditures are too high and blames the administration for illegal extravagance. TOOK WOMAN FROM HAREM. A sensational abduction case involving a lineal descendant of the prophet Mohammed and a pair of real Arab snails is reported from Cairo, in Egypt. Sheik Al Joussef fell in love with the daughter of Sheik Al Shafid to be told to the sole living descendant of the prophet Mohammed, refused his consent to the marriage, as he did not think All Joussef was a fit person to be the husband of a girl of such noble lineage. All Joussef, however, abducted the girl and placed her in his harem. Her father appealed to the Egyptian government of armed police was dispatched to All Joussef's harem. The police made a foreible entry to the premises and, in order to be sure that they had taken possession of the person wanted, they ordered all the fair denizens of the harem to follow them in a veiled procession to the house of Sheik el Saddat, when his daughter was ill. The rest of the rest of the family and detailed. All Jouissance has now, it is said, begun proceedings before the British authorities, and has obtained the services of an English lawyer. Not Very Substantial. Julie Opp tells a story of an American bud in Leiden. She was slender, pink and almost transparent. Enjoying her first ride in a Piceadilly coach, she did not realize that she could not own the coach for a few pennies. A blunt Londoner came in and pushed her toward the edge rather roughly in taking his seat. She looked indignant. Another came in and did the same thing. A third attempted a line incident, when she exclaimed, "Can't you see there's some one in this seat?" "No, ma'am," was the reply of the last passenger. "I thought as how you were a painted ad on it!"—New York Times. The Gallant General. Senator Depew is responsible for the following illustration of the gallantry of a old friend Horace Porter. A woman prominent in New York society who had married a well known French statesman one day visited the ambassador with reference to the execution of certain legal documents to be filed in a United States court. In several of the papers it was necessary that the lady should state her age, a point on which she evinced great sensitivity. As a matter of fact she demurred strongly as to this, and for a moment the ambassador was in a quandary. "Is it really necessary?" she asked. "I'm afraid it is," was the reply. "Oh, General, must I, must I?" pleaded the woman, with such a distressed expression that the ambassador was knocked out. Unable to withstand the fair caller, the gallant Porter took the papers and wrote opposite the question as to age: "Of the age of accountability." And Senator Depew says that no objection was ever heard from Washington. Miss Nellie Hale, the owner of the Miss Nellie Holmes, treasurer of the Young Woman's Temperance Association of Buffalo, N. Y., strongly advises all suffering women to rely, as she did, upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

Judge Cole's life has been one of unusual activity and he even now, at the age of eighty years, does more than ordinary work as dean of the Iowa College of Law. The testimony of Judge Cole carries with it the weight of a man of wide knowledge and sober and conservative judgment. Judge Cole says: Des Moines, Iowa, May 20, 1904—Dr. Lew Arntz, City: Dear Sir—It has been my good fortune, in connection with the teaching of law, to deliver lectures for many years on medical jurisprudence to both legal and medical classes. In the course of lectures, I have taught that generally the visual capacity of the average individual was reduced twenty per cent at fifty years of age, and that at seventy and fifty per cent at eighty years of age. I have just about reached that last goal, and find my teaching practically verified. Judge C. C Cole's Indorsement of Dr. Lew Arntz Judge C.

Malone, No more his face we will see; He's gone to trod the path alone, From which no one can flee. He has gone to gain his reward That the Master has promised so free; To those that are faithful and work hard, To those that have trusted like he. He was surely a valiant soldier For God and the cause of right; And whatever he attempted to do, He did it with all his might. He was often heard repeating To his fellow presachers in the field: Brethren, "preach the word" time is fleeting; If a rich harvest ye wish to yield. Many years he toiled and struggled For the souls of humanity: Though the road was sometimes rugged, He still preached "All is Vanity." He entered the work in early youth, And there remained to a ripe old age, Braved many a storm to appeak the truth On his various and lonely pilgrimage. But his great work is now over, He did all the good that he could: In the places his work did cover His preaching was said to be good. His last words were "Aarewell my brother," God calls me and I must go: From this city to that of another Where the blood washed army must go. He's resting in the refted rock: From every storm he now abides: Although he's missing from the flock, He's now seuer_from the surging tides. How often he did sing so free That old familiar strain, "Nearer my God to the" His voice swelled the refrain. Again he'd lift his voice on high Jesus, lover of my soul, Let me to thy bosom fly, While the nearer waters roll. Oh recieve my soul at last! We now hope that his dear soul That so labored in the past, Has now reached the heavenly goal. —Composed by Mrs. Ida Filder-Hackley. Mt. Pleasant, Ia.

A curious custom prevails in Bulgaria which must be a hard penalty for the woman who loves to hear the sound of her own voice. All newly-married women are obliged to remain dumb for a month after marriage, except when addressed by their husbands. When it is desirable to remove this restriction permanently the husband presents her with a gift, and then she can chatter to her heart's content.

L. 50 Years of Success This is our record. From a small beginning we have grown until our factories now cover many acres. Many of our machines sold forty to fifty years ago are still giving their users faithful service. Can anything be more convincing of their merits and durability? Did you ever hear of any other machine with such a record? Note a few of the many superior points of the Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine No.9 The Rotary Hook displaces the old, out-of-date, unmechanical and trouble-some shuttle. The Frictionless ball bearings and perfect mechanical construction enable it to be operated with one-third less exertion than is required by ordinary machines. It sews three yards of goods while a shuttle machine sews two. It makes the most elastic and most perfect stitch whether sewing light or heavy goods. With our superior attachments the greatest variety of work is possible. Do not make the mistake of buying a sewing machine until you have given the Wheeler & Wilson No. 9 a trial.
