The color scheme is of delicate pur- ples, -pinks and are most attractive and the posing and blendings are in every way artistic.

dreaded disease. The country spends
annually thousands OF dollars to quar-

little or no effort is expended to check
the onslaught Of this scourge, hundred
times more powerful and farreaching.

affections among hersoldiers and sailors.

such an institution for her State con-

restoring many to their health, farm

not be closed to those who are neither

years ago. And who shall say that Mr.
Toulme and family were not rewarded
by especial blessings from Divine Pro-
vidence for their generosity to the min
lister OF Godp In proof Of which may be
mentioned an incident which occurred
years akerward.
The Rev. rather Buteux was returning
from France having on shipboard among
other passengers the nurse and grand
chjldaSf John 3. Toulme. A violent
storm arose, and the vessel sprung a
leak, threatening destruction to all. In
the midst Of confusion and dismay the
Reverend priest bowed humbly upon his
knees and invoked the protection of the
Blessed Virgin Mary, promising to erect
a shrine in her honor II their lives should
be spared. His prayer was granted, and
lol how faithfully his vow was fulfilled,
foHdn the rear Of st. Joseph's Convent
stands "Our Lady Of the Woods,' q
sHcred memorial Of Father Buteux's de-
votioff't1 the Blessed Virgin and grate-
ful remembrance OF his benefactor.
This "Good Priest" as he was called,
loved little children, and bearing in
mind the Blessed Saviour's admonition
to ''Suffer little children to come unto
Me, and forbid them not, for OF such is
the kingdom of Heaven" he DEVOTED
much thought and labor to provide them
with schools and teachers.
He made arrangements with the
Brothers Of the Sacred Heart, and three
OF them came to the Bay to lay the foun-
dation of the first Catholic school in 1856,
of those three pioneers Brother Athana>
sius alone remains.
The sisters OF st. Joseph, under the
auspices Of Father Buteux, were estab-
lished about the same time, thongh like
the Brothers, in very small way. But
now behold the RESULT
The small seed took root in generous
soil, where 1t was nourished and grew
slowly, silently. After nearly half
century the great oak spreads it's gigan-
tic arms to sun and storm, sheltering and
adorning the college grounds, which
the late Captain Hiern donted to the
Brothers. How nobly they have labor
ed the institution Of st. Stanislaus at
tests, as 1t stands proud monument Of
successful achievement.
And what incalculable blessings baye
the college and convent afforded not on
ly to resident families of the Bay, but
to other households both far and wide,
over the length and breadth of our land
whose children have enjoyed the su-
preme privilege of the Brothers and Sis
ters' instructions.
After i3 years of pastorate at Bay st.
Louis, Father Buteux resigned his po-
sition as priest of Our Lady Of the Gulf
into the hands OF the deeply-lamented
Very Rev. Father Henry Leduc.
Father Buteux made two pilgrimages
to the Holy Land and said Mass in the
Sepulchre Of Our Lord at Jerusalem.
After an absence OF four years, he re-
turned to the city of Boston in 1864, and
