CATHOLIC CHURCHES.

Archbishop Ireland has decided
that the churches in Seaforth and
Wabasso will be 34x644 feet, with
IS towers, the latter having cut
shingled roofs. The buildings will
cost about $4,000 each. Work on
the buildings will commence as
soon as the best locations are de-
cided upon, and this is expected by
the middle of April.
FIR. Woods will be in Wabasso on
Friday and Seaforth on Saturday
for the purpose of deciding on loca-
ton.
The plans and specifications now
being prepared by Herman Kretz of
St. Paul, will be here Saturday for
the inspection of contractors.
Owing to FIR. Woods being away
there will be no services here Fri
day evening.
Archbishop Ireland has given FIR.
Woods permission to sell the church
building on Trost's hill, in Sheri-
dan. The archbishop has also writ
ten strong letter to the pastor
forbidding members of the church
from contributing to churches out
side of their districts, until they
have contributed to the churches in
their district, his theory being that
generosity should commence at
home first. Bishop Ireland has
also congratulated FIR. Woods for
his excellent worh in securing sub
scriptions for the two churches.

versary of the battle of Santiago on
July Sd and July 4th, held meet
ing at the office of J. B. Robinson &
Co. last Saturday evening, and went
over the matter of raising funds at
considerable length. It was the
unanimous sentiment on the part of
all present that this being the first
affair of the kind for two or three
years the subscriptions from busi
ness men and citizens generally
would be quite liberal, and the
members of the committee each vol
unteered unusually liberal sub
scriptions, in the belief that the
subscriptions would be met by the
other business men OF the city.
There was some talk of having a
band tournament on July Sd, and it
was thought that $500 could be ap-
propriated for this purpose. On
July 4th the intention is to have
two or more bands, as well as a
number of drum corps
Other attractions for the Sd and

was ordered with the view Of secur-

DEATH OF MRS. FRANK.
Relative of President Adams Pass
es Away at 90 Years.

Mrs JoanEah Adams Frank passed
away at the home of her niece, Mrs.
L. N. Rowe, of Broadway, this city,
about ten o'clock last Saturday
evening. Old age was the cause OF
death, Mrs. Frank lacking month
of being 96 years old when she
passed into the great beyond.
Mrs. Frank appeared to be in ex-
cellent health, with the exception
of rheumatic trouble, up to month
ago, when the changeable spring
weather forced her to bed, and since
that time she declined rapidly. For
a week prior to the end her death
was momentarily expected.
The funeral occurred from the
residence at l o'clock Monday after
noon, Rev. F. J. Barackman of the
First Presbyterian church, con-
Quoting the services. Interment
occurred in the Redwood cemetery.
Mrs. Joanna Frank was born May
Is, 1904, in Ulster county, N. Y.
Her father was Aaron Adams, a
leader in the affairs of the county
and for many years honored with the
Office of Judge. He served also in
the New York State legislature dur
ing the governorship of Dewitt
Clinton, 1924-2S. Mrs. Frank be-
longed to that strain of the Adams
family which has produced patriots,
governors and presidents, her
fathers father being cousin Of
John Adams, the second President
of the United States. In the early
part of the century the Adams fam
lily moved from Ulster county to
the Genesee country in Western New
York at a time when Indians were the
principle inhabitants of that coun-
try. While they were there Mrs.
Frank S parents both contract
ed typhoid fever and died, leaving
the children to care for themselves
in that wild, inhospitable region.
Mr. Jacob Frank and Miss Joanna
Adams were joined in marriage Oct.
"a, 1924, and lived together until
1873, when Mr.. Frank died at the
age Of 81 years. They therefore
celebrated the fiftieth anniversary
of their wedding year before the
husband S death. No children were
born to Mr.. and Mrs. Frank. but
their home was gladdened by the
gift to them OF a little girl two
years old from another home. This
little girl S father was Mrs. Frank s
brother and her mother was young
school teacher whom Mrs. Frank
had befriended and nursed through
a long sick spell. The gift of the
baby girl to Mrs. Frank was the
mothers expression of gratitude tc
her benefactress. This baby girl
is now Mrs. L. n. Rowe of Redwood

THESE IN PUERTO RICO.
Three People Well-knoWn Here
Doing Missionary Work There.

The last issue of The Union Sig
nal, the official organ of the W. c..
T. u, contains letter written by
Mrs. Jane Barre of San Juan, Puer-
to Rico, in which she says that San
Juan, the capital of Puerto Rico, has
a population Of 100000
When the order was issued after
the American occupation, extending
the right Of suffrage only to those
who could read or write, or had
paid so taxes within two years,
only 5 per cent. were eligible to
vote. 1t is doubtful if even one
per cent. of these have any idea of
the responsibilities of citizenship.
To them civil government for which
! they are clamoring, is a means for
getting positions.
We are convinced that our read
ers have not forgotten Elder Erwin.
an evangelist, who some years ago
held meetings at the opera house in
Redwood Falls for several weeks,
the hall being crowded nightly with
persons eager to listen to his forci-
bic sermons, and the sweet songs
of Mrs. Erwin.
Last March Mr.. and Mrs. Erwin
were sent by the Christian Mission
ary society to Puerto Rico, to estab-
lish a mission station. Elder Erwin
now breaches in Spanish four times
a week and both himself and Mrs.
Erwin are laboring earnestly in
this neglected field.
There is yet another missionary
in San Juan, who is we'll and favor
ably known in Redwood Falls. We
refer to Mrs. M. A. Fullen, wife of
Elder Fullen, for some time pastor
of the Christian church in this city.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fullen removed FROM
here to Kansas for the benefit of
his health. Last winter he was at
tackled with lagrippe, from which
he partially recovered, when he
was seized with pneumonia, which
terminated fatally a little over
year ago. Mr.. Erwin, who is broth
er to Mrs. Fullen, then urged her
to proceed to San Juan and assist in
the mission work.
Some Of her friends in this city
have recently heard from her, and
she is teaching English to the Span
ish children in the forenoons and
has mission of Porto Ricans to in
struct in the afternoons.
Mrs. Fullen deeply deplores the
low moral conditions prevailing,
and feels that, living as the poor
people do: whole family crowded
into a room 14x14, and sometimes
even two families in one room, and
rooms sufficient to accommodate so
or 60 persons opening into one hall,
the prospect Of elevating them is
far from hopeful. She says that
work must commence with the chill
dren and to that work l have de-
voted the remainder of my life. =

him:

"My picture?" he questioned.
Eyes, indeed!" the voices cried ''You

Bremont's eyes filed with joy, and he
murmured in breathfess tones:

waiter.

A year had elapsed since he had lived
in the world of illusions that love creates,
a world SO much the more disquieting
when passion is baffled and surrounded
by obstacles.
The object of his affection was married
to an intensely jealous man, and with ali
the ardor Of youth Fremont was attached
to this beautiful woman, to whom unhap-
piness belonged. For she was forced to
live with one who was ever inclined to
suspicion.
She loved Fremont, but circumstances
rather than inclination had made their
love a pure one.

melee was going to Gilead station to take
the train for Lancaster, where lived her
lifelong friend, Susan Rich, in a pleas
ant home, whose welcome Jane had often
gratefully tasted. The day and train hav-
ing been set, Jane would as soon have
thought Of betraying her friends conf
dence as failing to arrive at the precise
hour named in her letter. Fidelity was
the bedrock of her character. 1t would
seem as If Alonzo might have known this,
as he sat doubling in the rain before her
gate.
Jane was the only passenger that morn
ing. She sat on the middle seat under her
big umbrella, and Alonzo chatted inter
mittently with her over his left shoulder,
as they logged along through the storm.
One would never have suspected that
these two sober, middle-aged persons had
been lovers in the sweet days gone by.
When they reached the covered bridge
over the river, it seemed as if all the
clouds Of heaven had opened their sluics
gates together A perfect torrent Of
rain was falling.
'Lonzo, can't you stop for few min
utes in the bridge, till the worst of this
shower is over?" asked Jane. MY new
bunnit is gfttln' awfully damp. The rain
drives right through this umbrel."
'Lemme see," said Alonzo, consulting
his watch. Eyes, guess so. We've got
twenty minutes to spare, and it does rain
middling hard. N.Y. but the river is high,
amt it? A little more, and it would be
over the floor boards of the bridge"
Alonzo drove to the middle Of the
gloomy covered bridge and stopped his
horses. Then he and Jane sat listening
to the thunder Of the storm over their
heads.
1.-THE bridge kind of quivers, doesn't it?"
said. Jane
Yes, it does seem to joggle some,'' re-
piled Alonzo. 1.-THE waters up to the

Just then the steady vibration Of the
bridge increased to a sort of convulsive
shudder. The structure suddenly lurched,
gave a grinding slide, grated off it's stone
piers and went whirling down stream with
the current!
Jane uttered a cry of terror and caught
hold Of Alonzos arm. He could feel her
whole body tremble. The sensation sent
a strange thrill through him. His lethar-
gic nature at last was stirred!
"There-there!' he said, soothingly.
Don't you be afraid, Jane. There amt
any real danger. The bridge amt agoing
to sink. Well ground against the shore
somewhere, and then I can drive right out
again."
But the bridge tossed and spun and ca
reened, and the muddy water raced along
the floor. Jane began to sob like fright
ened child.
Come, come" said Alonzo, drawing the
reins hard as iron over the plunging
horses with his right hand Don't be
scared I'll-therer'
His left arm reached over the back of
the seat and slid around Jane Parmelee's S
waist. her head dropped on his shoulder,

"Oh, Jane, If something of this sort had

the two lovers again repeated the eternal
litany of their dreams and desires.
Having been launched on the pinion of
success, the young artist demonstrated
to Lucienne that their good fortune was
only matter of patience; If she would
but wait he would not grow weary. And,
sustained by her, would again produce
worthy works Of note. which would bring
him salient renown.

She touched by the rare loyalty of one
ing the influence of woman, softly mur-
INJURED with a tender glance:
''Hou exaggerate, 1dear one"
''I exaggerate?", he exclaimed. Did
you not encourage me when 1 mistrusted
my ability? Are you not my Muse?'
But he had scarcely uttered the words
when for the second time, he saw the
opalescent vision; the Green Muse. with
the emerald-hued eyes, pale lips and mys-
terious, subtle smile, again f1oated before
him. 1t lowered over the abyss and SEEM
ed to whisper: Come"
what is the matter?" Lucienne anx-
iously asked. surprised at his sudden
silence and the fixed way he looked into
space.
The apparition faded, and Fremont, par
TALLY recovering himself, replied in an
unsteady voice:
"Oh. it is nothing"
An hour had elapsed, however, and they
were forced to return, but Bremont's mind
was still filed with thoughts of the vi
sion that had twice appeared before him.
Eight days later he received a despair
ing note from Lucienne:
sSWe have been discovered. My husband
suspects everything and intends to take
me away / must see you once again.
Be at Buttes- -Chaumont to morrow MY
heart is breaking"
The news overpowered Fremont, and
when he learned that M. Arimon not only
intended to leave Paris. but to take his
wife to India, 1t seemed more than he
could bear.
In a flash the thought came to him Of
enfling it all. How easily it could be ac-
complfshed. With Lucienne in his arms

the bridge of ''Buttes-Chau where
so often they had dreamed of their future

But she gently murmured! Have

passing through the supreme crisis from
whence will dawn both deiiverance and
all that we desire.
The day came, however. when the adieus
had to be exchanged, and 1t seemed to
both that their hearts sank into an un-
fathomable depth.

From the French Of NJ de Komar.
Over dozen artists were seated about
a table in the Cafe de la Place-Blanehe,
noisily gesticulating. perhaps through
habit. perhaps to attract the attention Of
the coquettlsh and smartly attired women
who constantly passed even in this re-
mote corner of Paris.
Some were on wheels, their mannlsh
costumes ofttimes enhancing their
charms, making them still more fascinat-
ing than in the soft skirt drapery.
While others, painted and powdered. and
with eyes darkened, notwithstanding their
youth, seemed like flowers themselves be-
meath the large picture hats they wore.
A few steps from the cafe stood the
lofty villa des Platanes." the home of
the artists. where the painters. authors
and musicians find comfortable quarters
in house of princely appearance, sur
rounded by attractive gardens.
Near the massive gateway a tall, fash
ionably gowned young women Of brunette
coloring walked restlessly to and fro, in
seeming expectancy, and, in the furtive
look that she cast to the right and left,
could be CLEANED her fear OF being seen
and compromised.
In her large blue eyes were depicted the
melancholy Of a tender, passionate nature,
and wealth of dark hair framed a clear

women are fortunate enough to possess.
After few moments had elapsed, fear
ing, doubtless, some comment, she paus-

slowly withdrew.
Five minutes later a young man issued
from the Rue Frometin' and stopped on
the other side of the Boulevard in front Of
