A Grmlntte of I.nkr«lila Ilonpltal, t*k« Geneva, Telia an Interesting Experience, Teshtlgo, Wis., Jan. 26, 1901 -(Spe cial.)—One of the most popular nurses that ever graduated from the Lakeside Hospital, I,ake Geneva, is Miss Lillian Dreeee, of this place. Miss Dreese is the Vice Templar of the Independent Order of Good Templars, and organist of the Rebeccas of Peshtigo. During her twelve years' experience as a trained nurse she has had many opportunities for observation, and her opinion in all medical health matters 13 held in very high esteem by the thousands who have learned to know and love her. In speaking of her experience she says: “'During my twelve years as a trained nurse I have often observed how many different physicians give their patients Dodd's Kidney Pills in cases of Diabetes and Kidney Trouble. About three years ago I myself suffered some months with a weakness and con tinual congested condition, and I de cided to try what the Pills would do for me. I soon found that they built up the affected parts and restored har mony to the entire system, and al though I often lose much sleep and rest while attending severe cases, I find that 1 was never in finer health nor had more endurance than since I have used these marvelous Pills.” Clergymen say they are good, Sena tors and Congressmen have added their evidence as to the wonderful curative properties of this Medicine, hundreds of physicians recommend them and use them in their daily practice. The most skilled trained nurses advise their use and use them themselves, while tens of thousands of sick and suffering people are being cured every day by Dodd's Kidney Pills. They should cure you. They will cure you. Try them. Costly Concert Seats. Mrs. Jack Gardner, of Boston, paid $1,120 for two seats to the symphony concert given last week.

There ia probably no other cycle rid er today who la so versatile aa ia O. L. Pickard, trainer of Johnnie Nelson and Johnnie Lake, now team mates. Pickard rides in the races, trains h.s men, attenus to the motors, and builds training quarters or cycle tracks wuh equal facility. In his positiun he at tends to everything, from cutting down a motor frame to wiring a motorcycle complete, or building a new b.cycie. Ho rides the motor, eiiuer on the front or rear seat. He knows the cycle and the motor tandem, as he knows every thing else, thoroughly. Hus work was responsible for much of the succiss of Nelson during the past season, for he attends to every detail, and allows nothing to go undone. Many have culled Nelson lucky in winning several hard races, forgetting that it was the fact that a second motor was always kept ready and ■waiting to pick him up, or that a second wheel was always un der the hands of this trainer, and ready to be rushed to him at any point around the track. In live races Nel son punctured, but be won all five contests. His extra wheel was not in the dressing room at 6uch times, un der lock and key, but was waiting for him at the point where he dismounted. That was not good luck, certainly. The extra motor for Nelson was not on the stand, and cool, but was circling the track, aud at all times the riders were watching Pickard for a signal, under instructions from him. The fact that they picked up their men so quickly and neatly, was not good luck. A man of the caliber of Pickard is hard to find, and when a rider has found him he is certain that unless In the hardest kind of luck he will have an even break for the money.—Chicago Inter Ocean. MISSION OF TONGUE. Art In Literature and Ueautj of Ei prennlon. Literature is art. It is art whose crude material is language, as the sculptor’s material is marble, or as the potter’s is clay. Its mission in the llist place is so to shape its material that form and beauty may emerge. The day has not passed wherein the grace of words fitly spoken has power to quick en and inspire human life, nor has Spencer’s dictum. "For pleasing words are like the magic art,’’ lost in reality any of its value, despitet the chroni cler, the intelligencer and all the apos tles of the matter of fact. It cannot be denied, however, that a practical age has had its effect. Men certainly do hesitate frankly to confess that in their own usage language is used as an artistic material and subjected to ar tistic treatment. There is apparently a feeling that the confession would involve something demeaning to the content of thought. Rhetoric is in bad odor—chiefly the name. In the schools they try to hide it under the name of "English.” There never was, however, in all tho days of our civilization, a more widespread and certain demand for what is called "good English," or a more perfect appreciation of what is said to be “well written.” Rhetoric as a name has fallen into discredit, be cause it has come to be associated with tinseled phrase and empty words. But this is no rebuff to the art. Every ma terial of the arts, from ivory to wood, has 8omeetime been misused as tinsel. The empty display of material is not art; it is child's play.—Atlantic Monthly. PRESENCE OF MIND. Ragman Milken Scene |n Detroit wit™ W»if«ii Afire. The ragman blew a mighty blast and then entered to see if there were any old clothes for sale. After he had pur chased $5 worth of goods for 50 cents, he went to the front and there let out a yell that turned the lady of the house deathly pale and caused the hired girl to fall down the cellar stairs. Explan ation came later. The perambulating merchant is troubled with cold feet. To counteract this affliction he used an old iron kettle for a stove with paving blocks for fuel. He kept it in the front end of his wagon, and when he came out his whole cargo was afire. After the yell he made a flying leap into the rickety wagon, thrashed the dejected looking horse into a semblance of ani mation, and went up the street creating a bigger sensation than Ben Hur’s chariot race. Shouting boys and barking dogs were In the train, and all the elder heads coincided in a belief that the man who was thrashing his horse, shouting in a foreign tongue, who fell through a broken seat as he made the corner, his head and heels being all of him in sight, was crazy. But he was not. His presence of mind was to be envied by many a states man, for he pulled up in front of a hose house and the laughing fire lad dies soon conquered the conflagration. Black, scorched, half-drowned and gaz ing sadly upon what was left of his rig, the victim hissed between his teeth that he would sue the city.—Detroit Free Press. Mixed in Ills Location. The following is told of an Ameri can gentleman who was recently stop ping with his wife at the Hotel Cecil in London. On their first evening there he happened to retire somewhat later than his spouse. Arriving at the door of what he Imagined to be his room and finding it locked, he tapped and called “Honey!” No answer caino and he called again and more loudly. "Honey!” Still he got no reply and be coming 'somewhat uneasy he shouted the endearing term with his full lung power. This time a reply came, and in a male voice: “Go away, you blither ing idiot! This 1b a bathroom, not a blooming beehive!” -■ ■ -* Tenrher* Commend the Geograph; Lit erature of “Overland Monte.'* As an evidence of the efficiency of th© Union Paciflc management the princi pals of public schools are constantly applying to this road for maps, paibph lets descriptive of the territory it trav erses and data on the history and building of this famous transcontinen tal line. Upon this phase of school work many of the principals of the public schools declare there is no text so available as that of the Union Paciflc, the principal artery of traltte and in dustrial life in the great west. The principal of one of the largest public schools in the state of New York writes: “These books are used in all georgraphy classes from year to year until worn out. The children talk at home with their parents over what they learn about the Union Pa ciflc railroad and the country through which it goes, and the publications fill a dual role, viz.: that of advertis ing mediums and that of educational Instructors. , As a matter of fact, the mere build ing of tho “Overland Route" was a great engineering triumph in Rself, but the war of the renelllon demon strated the construction of the road was a necessity. A United States his tory which dealt with the great west would be poor indeed If it did not re count the historic efforts of many pm> lic spirited men from Whitney to Abra ham Lincoln (and others since) to or ganize and carry through to comple tion this great national highway. Tho recent irrigation congress held in Chicago illustrates the value of the missionary work of this great road. Until the Mormons conveyed the waters from the mountain streams of Utah and distributed them over tho valleys and table lands thero was no progress made in tho west In the mat ter of irrigation. In fact it was hardly thought of until the Union Paciflc took the matter up and urged It upon set tlers of the west. Typographical maps anti reading matter descriptive of the country and a synopsis of irrigation laws are being turned out In profusion for the en lightenment of the public generally. The Union Pacific’s history of the nation’s new possessions (“Our New Colonies”), descriptive of the Hawa iian island became so popular that the public schools of the country, appre ciating the value as an adjunct to his tories and geographies in use, made great demands for this publication, and It has been largely adopted as a test book on this subject. Other publications which have been issued from the advertising department of this road are descriptive of the re sources of Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming and Utah, and territory trib utary to the Union Pacific. Thousands of these have been printed and sent broadcast over the United States and Europe, used as advertising mediums for inducing settlers to come west. They have been effective in this, as thousands of the business men and In vestors have come solely on account of descriptive matter contained in the lit tle volumes, and the facta therein con tained. One book that has attracted particu lar attention is “Some of Wyoming’* Vertebrae Fossils.” This is descriptive of the great burying ground of Wyom ing, where lie the bones of the thou sands of great animals that roamed over the western hemisphere when it was unfit for the habitation of man. This publication has been read by men of all classes and has formed the sub ject for innumerable lectures by the professors in the colleges of the east. Instead of merely using bill hoards and dead walls for calling attention to the running of trains the advertising department of the Union Pacific has followed the plan of putting out at tractive reading matter, thus getting the books before the public and mak ing them valuable additions to the li brary and the household.—The Chicago “Chronicle,” December 9th, 1900. Share* Public Schools' Honors. The Passenger Department of the Union Pacific is in receipt of a letter from Superintendent C. G. Pearse in viting it to share in the honors be stowed upon the Omaha public schools at the Paris exposition. As is well known, the Omaha schools wero award ed a gold medal for excellence of tho showing made by their method of teaching geography. The most Im portant part of the exhibit consisted of a set of illustrated publications and maps showing the sources from which geographical material and Informatioh are obtained. Superintendent Pearse acknowledges that great credit Is due to the Union Pacific Passenger Depart ment, which furnished many of the publications and maps for the Paris exhibit.—Omaha “Bee," Dec. lltb, 1900. Following is an extract from her letter: "If you could only be here this winter morning and see for your self you would no longer doubt me. Roses are blooming in our front yard and all nature is as far advanced in this lovely American summerland as it will be in your cold eastern home by June. "We made the Journey from Mis souri River to the Golden Gate on the Union Pacific to avoid the circuitous routes—an important item In the win ter. A trip to Calfornia is made de lightful by the perfect service and lux urious accommodation of ‘The Over land Limited,' which is perhaps the most finely equipped train in the world.” Detailed information fur nished on application to E. 1* Lomax, Gen.
