Almost every school boy is familiar
with the life and doings of Joan OF Arc,
the young girl who SO often led the
French arms to victory. and 1t was not
believed that the world would ever see
another of her kind. and yet, the Bra
lillian joan of Arc recalls strongly her
French prototype According to
Sketch she Is Inspired by religious ia
naticlsm rather than by patriotism,
and she believes herself to be- as did
the Maid of Orleans. divinely inspired.
The government OF the Brazilian repub-
lie took action to deprive the clergy Of
many of their privileges and In little
village n young half breed Girl, Maria
Barhosn, started kind Of holy war, In

commanded ITO lead the people against
the enemies OF the church. A band of
villagers soon gathered around Maria:
they marched some 500 strong OH a
neighboring town and. although met by
force of 900 soldiers and civilians. cap
tured the place. AS was the case with
Joan of Arcs army the strctest dlscip-
line Is maintained. Maria spends her
spare time in fasting and praying. Eff

small assailants would in ten minutes
from the time OF being observed within

divide and distract the battle-shp's fire
and IL one torpedo went TO it's mark the
battle-ship would go to the bottom.

of her sixteenth birth anniversary.
The yard was most beautifully light
ed by the many lanterns which were
hung around the porch. At an early
hour a merry crowd of boys and
girls arrived and was received by
the young hostess. The time was
delightfully."- spent with music, games
and conversation. Later in the
evening Miss Bertha led the mirthful
band to the dining room where
dainty refreshments were served by
Mrs. Breckenridge, and Sarah Por-
ter. When all had gathered at the
table, Miss BERTHE, with a speech,
thanked the boys and girls for the

brought her. After some time, all
were ready for home, and declared
that Bertha was a royal entertainer,
and wished her many more pleasant
