AN X--RAY MACHINE.
Mankato People Can See Their Neighbors
Ribs.

Drs. Andrews & Zimmerman have
Bdded static battery and X-Ray ap-
paratus to their Office equipments. DR..
Andrews purchased this while in Chi
cago last winter. This is one of the
largest and strictly up to date X-Rav
machines now manufactured. An X
Ray machine is modern necessity in
every physicians Office. So perfect is
this one that one is able to took through
any part of the body, and by this means
locate bullet or any other foreign
body, broken or dislocated bone, and
it is useful in many other ways.
So perfect is this machine that under
proper conditions the beating of the
heart may be seen, and reporter of the
Free Press was able to look through a
chest. covered with clothing, and count
the ribs as accurately as if the object
had been only a skeleton.
One objection to X-Ray work in the
past has been the fear of burning the
patient, but with the modern improved
machine this has been entirely over
come, so that there is not particle of
danger.
DIR Andrews machine is run by an
electric motor furnished by the Man
kato Gas and Electric Light Co.

She was poor and ignorant, but God had
taught her to pray, and had given her a
yearning. tender love for His Blessed
Mother.
Her great longing was to visit some of
the shrines of Mary. She had heard of
these from people who had talked to her,
and once a pilgrim passing through the
village had told the orphan girl of the
little house in which the Holy Family had
lived on earth-of its bands of pilgrims
and the costly gifts they made. Of the
waxen lights and brilliant Jewels round
the golden shrine Then the little girl CON
fided her trouble to the pilgrim-fhat she
could not see that Holy Mother: that she
could not even linger in the old church in
and the old man. as he listened, smiled
upon her and gave her an image of the
Blessed Virgin and Child.
See my daughter" he said. 81 will fix
this for you in the trunk of this old tree
This must be your shrine and here YOU
can pray to your Holy Mother"
The little maiden was delighted, and it
became her daily care to deck. the image
gavlv. True. she had no Offering of gold
and gems; but she found the fairest flow
erS of the meadows, and briar-roses of
pure pale tint from the hedgerOws to
Irvine round the humble shrine of her
Queen: and even in winter she could make
it wreaths of evergreen and holly
This girl had neither parents nor friends

At length the priest from the distant viii

the shepherd maiden. for the people found

gems round her forehead and a blue man

care of a mother she bent over the girl,
wiping the dew of death from her fore

cheek, speaking to her in words whose

See. my child" said this lovely visitor,
the priest is here bringing thy. Jesus to

Then the priest entered the hut. Tremb-

confession of the dying girl, and the lady
raised her in her arms while sweet strains
of angel music filled the humble dwelling.

One glance of unspeakable love, of unim-

The good priest is kneeling there all

Then a soft voice whispered: Tell this

that none who call upon Mary shall die

always with her children in their need.
So the good father told his story for many

THE REASON WHY.
(By Montrose j. Moses.l

(By Montrose j. Moses.)
The big boys wouldn't play with me;
They said | was too small
That they would have to wait and see
If / grew strong and tall
And when thev had their club at school
They all began to grin.
And said that they had made a rule
To let no small boys in.
But when the holidays brought Jim
From college for week.
The big boys came to call on him
And listen to him speak.
He told them of the football game
Where. In an awful crush.
He slipped, and for ten days was lame
He played at center rush;
He told them of the record jump
He beat a Yale man in;
He let them feel the dreadful lump
The ball made on his shin,
He showed his muscles all in play,
He raised a heavy weight
And looked to see what they would say
L know they thought it great
They saw his college pins and flags,
They saw his football suit;
They opened wide his travelling bag,
And thought his cap a "beaut"
They saw his yellow sweater there
A picture of the gym;
They liked the way he wore his hair,
And every one liked him.
So now the big boys notice me,
And, in some way or other
They let me join their club, you see,
Because m Jim's own brother.

TENDERNESS.

Tenderness does not mean weakness,
softness, "Reminiscences. Tt is con-
sistent with strength, manIiness, truth
and bravery 1t does not show itself
alone in the touch, but in unselfishness,
thoughtfulness. considerateness, for
bearance, patience, long-suffering. But
however it shows itself, it is as the
bloom of the peach, as spring showers
on the earth, as the music of angels
stealing down on the plains of Bethle-
hem. You may not have much of this
worlds wealth to distribute, but you
may give something better and spend
a useful and beneficent life If you will
practice this lesson of shedding around
you the grace of human tenderness. in
word and act and by the spirit of your
life.

ooh. I GO TO CHURCH WHEN ]
FEEL LIKE 1T"

To the person who said so to me the
following from an exchange is an ap-
propriate answer;
1. Anyone frequently remaining away
from the church is in danger of getting
careless in every point of religion
.. Let nothing induce you to speak
disparagingly of your church or relig-
ion. Stand by your church as you
would by your mother. Make no en-
gagements which would interfere with
your attendance at mass. Church en-
gagements stand before all others.
3. Pray for your priests They need
it; they are only men with great re-
sponsibilities and with many to please.
If there is any member of your family
or of the congregation, sick please no
tify the priest.
4. If any acquaintance of yours needs
the aid or counsel of clergyman, in
form your priest of it.

| Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth.
l am thy servant: give me understand
ing, that l may know thy testimonies.
Incline my heart to the words of thy
mouth; let thy speech distin as the
dew.
Heretofore the children of Israel said
to Moses: Speak thou to us, and we
will hear; let not the Lord speak to US,
lest we die. 1t is not thus, o Lord, it
is not thus, L pray, but rather with the
prophet Samuel, L humbly and earnest
ly entreat: Speak, Lord, for thy SER
want heareth.
Let not Moses, nor any of the pro-
phets, speak to me; but speak thou
rather, o Lord God, the inspirer and
enlightener of all the prophets; for
thou alone, without them canst per-
fectly instruct me; but they, without
thee, will avail me nothing.
9. They may indeed sound forth
words, but they give not the spirit
Most beautifully do they speak; but
if thou be silent, they infame not the
heart, They give the letter, but thou
disCloseSt the sense.
They publish the mysteries but thou
unlockest the meaning of the things
signified. They declare the command
ments, but thou enablest US TO fulfill
them.
They show the way, but thou givest
strength to walk in it.
What they can do is only from with
out, but thou instructest and enlight-
enest the heart. They water outwardly,
but thou givest the increase. They
cry aloud in words, but thou impartest
understanding to the hearing.
3. Let not, then, Moses speak to me,
but thou, o Lord, my God, the eternal
truth, lest I die and prove fruitIess, if
1 be admonished only Outwardly, and
not infamed within. Lest it be to my
condemnation that the word be heard
and not fulfilled, known and not loved,
believed and not observed. Speak,
then, o Lord, for the servant heareth:
for thou hast the words Of eternal life.
Speak to me that it may be some COM
fort to my SOUL and the amendment of
my whole life, and also to thy praise,
and glory, and everlasting honor.

EASTER MORN.

On silent wings has flown the gloom OF
night.
And 10! in yon gray Orient sky there
CLEANS
A radiant Star. the glory of whose
beams
Falls on the slumbering earth in shafts
Far ". to cloud-worlds soar the birds in
fight.
While downward rapturous liquid music
streams
From feathered threats, like carols
heard in dreams
As in the depth of blue they fade from
sight
'Tis Easter morn; the Ginning of sweet
bells
On .zephyr-wings floats over hill and
dale.
And DER world-weary hearts a glad
ness throws
As of that dawn, in ages past. it tells
When on the tomb, the Star of morn
shone pale,
And Christ the Lord. the Prince of
Peace, arose,
