A LECTURE SERIES
Presbyterian Young People Are Are
 ranging for the Seasons Course.

Much has been said by citizens of PhoeniX and by visitors of the need of more lectures and other literary enter talnments for this city. At different times courses have been arranged for and the public has shown it's apprecia ton by attending well. The First Methodist church people have made a success of their courses and have earned the sincere thanks of the en- tlre city. This season the Presbyterian young people are leading off with the announcement of coming treats. They nave not spared expense in their ef- forts to bring, here just the style most wanted The first lecture of the course Is to be heard in the First Pres byterian church on Friday evening of next week. MT. Edmund Vance Cooke IS to be here for this first number. Window cards are in many of the store windows announcing this event. One card is especially attractive; it ShoWs a table surrounded with men enjoying a banquet; the legend is.
 Pot Luck With a Poet Close .obser- Vation shows that the several men are all one the poet having posed for each. MT Cooke is this poet, and his facial expressions are good He has a repu- tauon Tor characterizations as well as for his oratorical ability A varied and thoroughly enjoyable evening is promised all who attend this lecture on November IS.
 The two later speakers are~to be Ernest Thompson- Seton and Robert J. Burdette. MT. Seton is a favorite with all lovers of nature studies. His writ. lngs in current magazines and papers nave given him a wide aEuuaintance among the worlds readers. His books nave proven to be good selling stock everywhere. Phoenix is to be congrat- uIated on having such a prospect be- lore her as the coming of Ernest Thompson Seton. He will speak twice In one day; once in the afternoon and again in the evening. Dr. Burdette's coming Is not so sure, but there seems 10 be excellent reason to believe thai the committee in charge of this lecture course will succeed in meeting his re- quirements and thus insure hear Ing htm. Several efforts have been made in recent years to get Dr. Bur dette here, bat heretofore failure has been the only result. This time the condition seems to be One that can be handled.
 Upwards of $500 is to be expended on this course. Hence no one will charge these young people with going into 1t for the purpose of money mak- ing. Beyond question, the good of the community is that for which they are working. Course tickets are now on sale. and Phoenix people are asked to snow their appreciation of the course by making purchases at once. Tickets for individual lectures will be Sold. but upon the season tickets the committee will have to depend for the main sup port of the enterprise.

INDIANA CATHOLICS INTERESTED
Cure of This Nun Miracle, They
 Say.

Bishop Chatard of Vincennes and va rious Indianapolis and Terre Haute physicians are interested in an alleged miraculous cure which occurred at St. Mary y's-of-t the Woods, one of the best known Catholic institutions of the west, in August, but the details of which have been kept secret pending investigation, which was designed to determine whether the cure was really permanent, says. an Indianapolis dis patch to the New York Sun. The pres ent indications are that the cure is as permanent as it was sudden.
 The subject of the sO-called miracle is Nellie Luben of Richmond, a music teacher. who entered St. Mary's as a novice. After taking the vows and adopting the name of Clementine her health suddenly failed.
 She was rarely free from agonizing pains, and eventually the disease de- veloped into tuberculosis of the spine and she was compelled to use crutches. For more than a year she was unable to leave her room, except on her crutches, and then the pain was SD in tense that she was soon forced to re- turn to her bed.
 Sister CIementine prayed unceasfng- ly that she might be relieved of the disease or that she might die and thus end her suffering, but no word of com plaint was ever known to escape from her lips. In speaking of her condition 10 the mother superior she said it was a mystery that she could not explain. but she believed her suffering was for some wise purpose, and unless God chose to separate her from it she was willing to bear it, with resignation.
 Here is the story from her own liDs of how and when the cure was ef- fected:
 s Tn August. on the anniversary of the birth of our Blessed Mother of God. went to the chapel with the assist ance of my crutches and prayed to God that on the anniversary of His Moth CTS birth He would listen to the tprayer of poor, suffering creature and in honor of His Mother restore her to health and strength. ] prayed as I had never prayed before
 Before leaving the chapel felt strange feeling as of some mighty change coming over me. I began to feel stronger, but I could not make myself believe that my strength was returning.
 But found that I could kneeI down and get up without any great effort also found that I could walk without the aid of my crutches.
 Fearing a commition if I left the chapel without them, I went away as I came, and though I carried my wooden support under my arm did not lean upon them. I went to mothers room and told her what had happened.
 My presence shocked her, for she supposed was unable to leave my room I told her of my prayers and how I felt and what a wonderful trans formation had occurred.
 She was greatly surprised but at her suggestion we returned to the chapel and together thanked Almighty God for the miracle He had wrought That was the last time that I used my crutches. It is now over a month since the miraculous recovery took

ALASKAN ANOMALIES.
humIey's Seals and Sea Lions With
 Norris G Rowe's.

Mans mastery over the animal king oom IS the triumph of mind over mai ter to a very great extent There are some animals, however, who seem en- doWed With such extraordinary intef-
 ISence that it eXcites wonderment as 10 whether after all they do, not possess not only intelligence, but the intellect or mankind. It has always been s7,D- posed that the lower order of inte1it- gence in the animal Kingdom is to he Iound in creatures that live in the sea ana yet the world is now confronted with the startling fact that the most iilteihgent animals ever seen, on land or sea, are seals and sea lions.
 This conclusion has been brouebt about by troop of seals and sea lions exhibited by the distinguished Arctic explorer, Professor Herbert RumIev as part of the programme of the Norris and Rowe circus. It seems aI- most incredible that these Iegless and armIess creatures of the sea should he able to perform what they really do With only flippers, instead of hands ana feet, they execute the most intel HBehI' strange and amusing feats ever witnessed. They actually exhibit 2 distinct musical instinct and perform on number of musical instruments 1Hey seem 10 know time and tune Der- 1ectly' and without any direction from their trainer they perform on a nun- Der of musical instruments together and always in perfect time and tuna They play ball, and move around with an agility that is simply surprising and added to all these accomplisbmenfs Is the further one of most ludicrous attempts at singing. They sing fin such a manner, however, as to fndi- cate that they know what they are doing
 There are many spiritualists who have contended, after seeing these seals and sea lions, that they actually contain the souls and intelligence of drowned people; but be that as it may. they do exhibit an intelligence that surpasses that of any other member of the animal Kingdom, not excepting the elephant, horse or dog, and with possibly the exception of dogs and monkeys, they are the only animals that seem to possess the actual spirit and elements of fun and comedy These remarkable animals are a whole | show in themselves, and if they were the only thing to be seen they would well repay a visit to the great archie aggregation that will exhibit in Phoe- nix today, and which, by the way. will be the last tented exhibition to appear here this season,
