Do Right, Leave the Rest to God.
Don't torment yourself about what
people are going to think about this
and that action. No matter what you do
or leave undone someone will criticise
you severely, and the very best rule for
getting through life with comparative
comfort is, after you have made up your
mind as to the propriety and advisability
OF certain course, pursue it calmly,
without paying the slightest attention to
the criticisms of the lockers on from the
outside. You see, Just because they are
on the outside they can only see the.sur-
face. It does not matter in the least
what they think.

POPE LEO's PROPHECY.

A Brooklyn Man Converted in the Time
Named by the Holy Father.
"Have courage, my daughter. Your
husband will become Catholic" were
the words of Pope Leo XIII to Mrs.
Francis H. Throop, Of Brooklyn, N. T.,
the leader of the band of ninety. three
pilgrims which left Brooklyn last July to
secure the Pope's blessing at Rome and
present prayers and petitions to our Lady
of Lourdes.
"And his words came true within a
week." said Mrs. Throop, "although my
husband had no idea of such thing at
the time.'
Mr.. and Mrs. Throop, with small del
egation of the original ninety-three pill
grims, reached New York recently on the
steamer Pennland. Mr.. Throop was the
only Protestant in the party of pilgrims.
He was converted to the Catholic faith
at Lourdes, and was there baptized
within a*week after the Pope had uttered
his prophetic words.
1--WE had an audience with the Holy
Father the day after we arrived in Rome,
said Mrs. Throop to q reporter. "The
Pope was to celebrate mass, and we went
to the Consistory chapel in the morning.
The Pope looked SO feeble I hardly
thought he would be able to get through
with the services. The scene was very
impressive.
II went up after the priests, and then
the Holy Father called for my husband
too, and taking our hands in his he Joined
them, saying: Whom God hath joined
together let no man put asunder.' Then
he pronounced the Benediction over Us
and told me that my husband would be
converted.
| The greater part Of the first day at
Lourdes was devoted to services. There
was mass in the Basilica, sermon BY
Bishop Keane, OF Washington, in the
afternoon, and in the evening the pill

TWO YOUNG PEOPLE MISSING.
Both Residents of Atlanta and When
Last Seen Were ToRether.

Atlanta, Ca. Feb ga lively sensa-
ton has developed out of the disappear
ance of Henry Mcdonald. son of Rev d.
/ MCDONALD, pastor of the fashionable
/ Second Baptist church. and pretty Nellie
I Webb. the l7-year-oid daughter Of Bert
Webb, a railroad engineer living at 80
Mcdaniel street. The girls departure
from home has brought the case to public
view. Her absence did not assume sen
satiOnal proportions until young Nc
Donald was thought to be identified as
her partner in her disappearance. Nc
Donald. who recently married the daugh-
te- of one of the best families in the state
under quite romantic circumstan has
always been considered wild in
his morals and unreliable in bust
ness affairs
Last Saturday Mcdonald and Miss Webb
were last seen on the streets together.
Last Saturday night MIR. Mcdonald
was seen with Miss Webb at the Edge
wood Avenue theater. Miss Webb was
stage struck" and Mcdonald TO humor
her tried to introduce her behind the
scenes, but was refused by the manager.
The last seen of the pair was Sunday
afternoon, when Mcdonald and Miss
Webo were walking together on Peach
tree street. The detectives have been
altogether unable to locate Mcdonald
dence, on Washington street, elected the
information that he had not been there
for several days, and that his wife
and the other members of his family
were extremely anxious about him. They
thought he was OF on a spree, and were
greatly distressed. The detectives who
have been diligently searching for the
pair, believe that the pair are somewhere
in the city, though it is reported that
they left on the Memphis train Sunday
night.
The girls parents have always had de-
voted confidence in her. She is their only
child, and the father is deeply wrought
up over her disappearance.
On Saturday Mcdonald secured several
diamonds from four jewelry stores, claim
ing that he wanted to show them to his
wife in order that she might make Sc
lection. The jewellers have not seen the
stones since, and it is suspected by some
persons that Mcdonald pawned them.
