shadows every other. The more he is
read, the clearer it appears that he has
the structural principle of thought. and
the spiritual vision, that enable him to

His influence is steadily increasing:

from pulpits that oppose and deplore his

the sentences of his severest critics.

One day last week Patrick O'Finnerty,
an itinerant cigar vender was arrested
and brought before Commissioner Shields
for selling his wares from a box that did
not bear revenue stamp. When the
revenue officer had finished his testimony
O'Finnerty cross-examined him.
Can you swear that those were cigars
that l was selling?" he asked

roll for smoking purposes,

weak case against me- exclaimed O'Fin-
nerty. for the rolls that l was selling
were made of cabbage leaves"
One of the alleged cigars was thereupon
cut open, and an expert who was called
in to examine it declared that. while he
was not sure whether it was made of
cabbage, he felt justified in swearing that
il was not tobacco.
