about IS years ago. He was the son OF
weaver. He was educated at the Cath
Ollie hospital in August borg. where he
attracted the attention Of the bishop
OF Augustoorg. who obtained permits
sion to educate him to the priesthood.
When l6 years old he was attacked with
nervous prostration and returned to the

Entered the Priesthood.
When 25years old he entered the prist-

Some forty-two years ago he was trans

Mrs. Fremont's Home.

Among all the fine homes and beautiful
grounds in west Los Angeles, very few
of them old places belonging to pioneer
settlers on the coast and now in posses
sion of their children, the one that inter
ested me most in passing is the pretty
home of Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremont So
cured To the brave generals widow chiefly
by the women Of California. 1t stands
just outside the city limits in one of the
most beautiful streets of the place and Is
set down in the very center of what was
an orange orchard, trees enough being cut
out to make u place for it. Driving Unto
town" along Main street, which Is the
only street entirely through the city, and
on to the ocean on the west and toward the
sierra on the east, one passes an old adobe
house where General Fremont lived for q
time in the early days.
1t is said to have been very picturesque,
and whole rows of enthusiastic sketchers
might for timo DO seen seated on camp
stools across the broad avenue, transfer
ring its outlines to paper or canvas. But 1t
has been made commonplace by modern
wooden additions. At the eastern end Of
the modern city Broadway, formerly Fort
street, ends against high bluff or hill on
which General Fremont in 1916 erected
his fort and took possession Of the old
Spanish Mexican city, which the height
completely dominates, and the entire coun-
try in the name OF the United States -
Exchange.

OUR KIN ACROSS THE SEA.
Members of the Two Races Are Always
Drawing Comparisons.

The American is always instituting
comparison between himself and his Eng
lish cousin. The Englishman is ever CON
trasting his American kinsman with him
self. Personal comparisons are proverbi
ally ungracious. The accentuation of sup
posed contrasts is peculiarly so. Moreover,
since men generally find what they seek
faithfully, both comparison and contrast
tend toward Fictitious result Thus 1t
comes to pass that in most American news
paper offices there is a lay figure, clothed
on with insularity, armed to the teeth In
view of possible opportunity for aggres-
sion, his face aglow with bitter and i'll
concealed hatred of al. things American.

The MANN CATS.
And How They Were Deprived OF Their
Tails by the Devil.

Ono of the most unique and characters
tic features OF the zoology OF the isle OF
Man Is its tailless cats. Every cat fanoier
I'm the world, and every other person who
has paid any particular attention To either
the ancient or modern history of the Brit
ish isles, knows that the Manx cat Is n
real feline In every respect except in that
of curtailed caudal appondage. Why that
particular species of the cat family should
DO so peculiarly marked Is mystery which
Is not accounted for i'm anything but the
Manx legend of the first OF the tailless,
and then the mystery is not entirely cleared
up.
The Manx cat legend, which is probably
known TO every man, woman and child on
the isle of Man, is ms follows: A cave on
the island was once inhabited by n witch,
who, in ordor To keep up the reputation
which such creatures have, kept "a large
cat. This particular cat like the dogs of
St. Bernard, was occasionally sent out on
errards of mercy. The old witch, as all
witches were formerly supposed To do, had
renouncod the Almighty and prayed only
to the evil one, acknowledging him at all
times as her sovereign lord and master.
On particular evening his majesty the
devil appeared 10 the witch and remon-
strated with her because the cat had been
sent with medicines tied around its neck
TO the hut of certain sick woman, satan
claiming that he had been cheated out of
his lawful prey by the salutary effect the
drugs had had upon the patient. Before
his ma josty departed for the Internal re-
gions he warned the witch To keep the
philanthropic cat at home in the future.
Wholly disregarding this command, the
old witch forthwith set about preparing
some soup which she hoped to send by the
cat to the sick lady that night. But the
devil expecting to be deceived, watched
near the entrance of the cage and made
an attempt to catch the cat, and thus
thwart the designs of the benevolent old
witch. AS the cat passed on its errand the
devil attempted to grasp it, but only sue
ceeded in catching the tail. The cat made
great effort to escape, and in SO doing
pulled its tail off close up to the body
Since that day, in consequence of the az
tempt TO battle the evil one, all Manx cats
have been born tailless.-St. Louis Re-
public.

Dangers From Escaping Gas.

So many people suffer from headaches,
extreme lassitude and Discrimination to
make any mental effort, a condition which
amounts to positive inertness, that med
ical men have been investigating the why
and wherefore Of this state of things in
order II possible to find reason, and, fol-
lowing that, n remedy for this annoying
and discouraging condition.
Among other facts brought to light It
appears that many headaches and much
discomfort are traceable largely to the
poisonous effects of gas of various sorts.
Ordinary illuminating gas has, as is
well known, the properties that produce
asphyxiation, and, even though the VIC
tins may survive the accident of inbaling
large amount of gas, the headache, nau-
sea and prostitution following such an ex-
perience are distressing In the extreme. 1t
Is often the case that people who live In
houses lighted by gas suffer serious conse-
quences without being aware OF 1t. They
do not inhale enough to attract their at
tention, but the poisonous yapor slowly
but surely undermines their health, pro-
auces headaches. congestion and n long
train of unsupported evils.-New York
