BRIDGEWATER VILLAGE.

DISAPPEARANCE OF MRS. BAKER.
Nothing has been heard from
Mrs. Baker, who disappeared last
week Wednesday leaving her hus-
band and four small children. She
was employed in the factory here
and had always borne very good
reputation. Wednesday she went to
Woodstock on the morning stage,
saving she wanted some teeth filled.
Her husband received Il letter We'd
nesday night from her stating that
she was going to stay over night at
friends house. This is the last
known of her whereabouts as fact.
There is rumor, which seems
we'll founded, which connects man
with the case. p. E. Goodnough,
who was recently employed here,
has disappeared from home in Leb-
anon, n. H., under circumstances
which connect the two together.
Considering the previous good
character of Mrs. Baker any wrong
doing on her part is hard to believe
and people here generally wish that
these last rumors may prove false.
The village schools will commens e
next Monday, April ?, according to
an agreement made with the teach
ers at the close OF last term. w. r..
Waters will teach the Grammar de-
partment and Miss Barrows the
Primary.

palite, with the windows of her trav-
cling coach lowered and her position
cracking his whip. The crowd just
there was so dense that we were
forced to stop. Nine. du Faouet leaned
toward the window, and questioned a
woman standing by:
What is the matter, my good wom-
an? What is the tumult about?''
1T is because of Ccmmissaire Ra-
yaud,' replied the woman. ''He has
been arrested on the denunciation of a
special representative. He owns to
having received a warrant from Paris
against an aristocrat, and to having
destroyed it on his own responsibility
He refuses to give the name of the
person against whom the warrant was
taken out. 1t will cost him his head"
The marquise looked astonished; she
became deadly pale. She struggled to
speak, to scream, to alight; but the
sudden movement Of the carriage threw
her trembling and half fainting into
nv arms. Then her confused thoughts S
took form; the tears yelling to her
eyss, she stammered:
ARRESTED -Rayaudl Then in COM
ing to me alone, in bringing me the
warrant in giving it to me, in watch
ing me tear and burn it SO quietly and
calmly. he was sacrificing his position,
his opinions, his future. The little
lackey was giving me his life"
Suddenly convinced. hiding her face
upon my shoulder. with cry OF sor-
row. of shame, of remorse. of con-
quered pride, the old marquise burst
into sobs.
"And it is | who have killed him, the
unhappy lad. He was acting nobly.
All, yes, nobly. And | did not under
stand" <
Humbly and sadly for the rest of
her days, the Marquise de Faouet wept
bitter and remorseful tears for the fate
of her little lackey.

dulity and superstition" display an
interest in the matter which some
what neutralized the venom of their
criticism.
The writer is not prepared to make
dogmatic assertions, yet it would be
puerile to deny that strange things
occur at the shrine of st. Anne. The
lame, the halt and the blind who ap-
proach the place filled with an abun-
dance of faith seem to arise from their
knees we'll and cured 1t is equally
true that hundreds of others, whose
faith is weak, leave with their all
ments still thick upon them. MANY
are called, but few are chosen" can
be applied to the worshipers at ST..
Anne's as it was to the searchers after
truth in the earliest days of the
church. The priests of the basilica lay
great stress upon the fact that the
least element of doubt in the minds
of petitioners renders mediation by
the saint questionable and a cure i'm
possible. For this reason critics who
profess to view everything impartial
ly and fairly are inclined to pronounce
the peculiar manifestations at the ia
nous Canadian shrine faith cures, eff
fected by the power of mind over
body, and class them roughly with
the more modern Christian science
and suggestive therapeutics This is
an easy way of disposing OF the SUBJ
ject, and while it may seem plain to
some there are thousands who will
not be satisfied with it.
The Catholic church teaches that
fervent alteration of the saints in
Heaven insures the petitioner their
intercession with the very fountain
of life: and there are very few Cath
olics who do not profess to have had
frequent opportunities to test the
truth of this dogma. At ST. Anne de
Beaupre all the surroundings are cal
culated to inspire the visitor with awe
and veneration. The handsome church,
magnificent affairs, gorgeous chapels
and rare statuary combine to prepare
the mind for some visible demonstra-
ton of Divine power; and the thou
sand and one evidences Of cures
wrought in the past add to the fervor
and faith of devout pilgrims, which
is still further strengthened by the
eloquence of priests who appear to be
filed with feryent devotion and speak
with the conviction of apostles to
the strangers seeking the help of
st. Anne.
AS a usual thing cures are not sud-
den. The pilgrims who seek relief
from bodily ills make novena-a
nine days devotion to La Bonne St.

TEST OF EMERGENCY RATION.
"A Troop OF United States Cavalry to
Try Experiment for
Fortnight.

Capt. Fountain and Capt Foster, of
the emergency ration board of the
war department, who have been in
Kansas City for several weeks prepar-
ing the ration for an actual test, will
leave for Fort Reno, I. T. They will
start from Reno with troop of cav
airy made up of men from Fort Reno
and Fort Sill and make marching ex-
peditions, during which the men will
live wholly on the emergency ration,
which has been prepared at pack
ing company's plant at Kansas City.
The ration is put up in an elliptica1
can eight inches long. Each days
food weighs a pound, and each car.
contains three cakes of sweet choe..
late and three cakes of food prepara-
ton composed of meat and grain
compound. The latter, which tastes
not unlike parched corn, with slight
flavor of meat. is very palatabN. 1t
can be eaten uncooked, made into
porridge or soup, or it can be made
into mush and then fried.
Each can contains small packages
of salt and pepper. The effect of the
food on the men win be carefully
noted. They will be weighed every
day and their conditions closely OBJ
served by physician. The test will
probably last two or three weeks, and
then the board will report to the war
department the result of the test.
