In our own country the Standard Oil
Company has every mile of territory
between the two oceans chartered off
into small squares with confidential
agent in each square whose business
it is to keep his principals informed
of everything that goes on in his par
ticular precinct. The same system is
followed wherever the Standard Oil
Company has interests and it's inter-
ests in Russia are very extensive. And,
owing to the fact that Russia is
large producer of oil the Rockefeller
party would have a commercial inter-
est in a war between that country
and Japan. The statement referred
to- which purported to give Mr.. Rookie
fellers personal views on the war sit
uation, was promptly denied by the
general counsel of the Standard Oil
Company, not only in behalf of Mr.
John D. Rockefeller, ST., but in behalf
of the unnamed official to whom the
quotation was attributed. On the fol-
lowing morning the news agency re-
sponsible for the publication of the
statement defended itself in long
editorial utterance, calling attention to
several previous statements affecting
the Standard Oil interests which ii had
made, which were positively denied
and which were in due time verified
by events. 1t then further declared
that the Rockefeller interests were es-
sentially a war party; that they profit
ed enormously by the Spanish Ameri-
can War, and would reap vast COM
mercial benefits from war between
Russia and Japan. 1t was considered
in Wall street that the news agency
had made out a good case for itself
and up to this time the Standard Oil
attorneys have taken no notice of it's
Somewhat caustic reply to the denial
made to its statement that Mr.. Rookie
Teller considered hostilities inevitable
and imminent.

Tibetan Love-Making.

When a Thibetan warrior, suftelted
with the glory of martial life, desires
a wife, he waits upon the father of the
girl who has attracted his eyes, and
makes an offer of marriage. The
father, after weighing the matter care
fully-for refusal is likely to provoke
a long and bloody feud-in turn waits
upon the priests, and acquaints them
with the nature of the offer, at the
same time paying them a munificent
bride in order to secure the answer
of the deities as to whether the mar
riage should be entered into. The wife
seeker. should he be diplomatic
enough. has meantime carried a larger
bride to the lamas, who bleed" both
father and sutton TO the limit of safety
when the decision of the deities Is
given. For a month the accepted suit
or must keep the family of his faV-
ored one supplied with meat and
other luXuries, and must be on his
guard against rival suitors. At the
end of, a month the chosen one is in
vited to a grand feast by the father of
the girl. where the betrothal is sealed
by each cutting a small incision in the
arm and mingling the blood flowing
from the wounds. This function of
blood brotherhood having been fin
ished, the girl is brought forward
smeared with grease and various col
ored pigments, adorned in all her
finery, and with a rope tied around her
neck as a subservience. Then ensues
a scene of the shrewdest bargaining,
the father dilating on the good points
of the girl much in the manner of a
connoisseur of blooded stock. The
wishes of the woman are never con-
suited, but the bargaining goes on for
days, and even weeks, until final
settlement has been arrived at

THE PERUNA FAKIR

All over this country, in many pa

ingly displays his cut of nun and
follows it with the printed endorse
ment of Catholic institution. in
Ohio. Emphasis is given TO the alleged
Recommendation by embellishing the
flaring announcement with bogus pic
lures. This atrocious and mendacious
fraud, though several times. unmasked
and denounced, continues TO raise its
brazen, lying front. How any dealer.
even in patent medicine, with alcohol
as it's basis, can, under such circun-
stances, repeat this villany is not COM
prehensible by any law of ethics or
honesty.
We feel it Il duty, therefore. to again
call atteptiOn to this matter and brand
ii accordingly. But for the intoxicat-
ing element ir this medicine, so-caIled,
it would not have It's present vogue
commercially. Many people. who are
pTofessedly temperate and would not
knowingly resort to such drugs are
misled into stimulation abhorent to
them.
Catholics Of every section are right
eously indignant al the unhlushine
fraud practiced upon them by the PEI
runa fakir. who seenS to have no

the sandals, over $500.

ITO keep the wrinkle away use the
plaster treatment After you have
massaged it. and before you go to bed.
take strips Of adhesive plaster and cut
them the shape of the wrinkle zone in
your forehead.
IF you cut it correctly you will
have a triangular piece, with one long
point coming down between the eyes
upon the bridge of the nose. The other
two pieces will necessarily extend over
the eyes and across the forehead.
Then you can, while you are APP
plying the plaster, cut two strips, one
for each side of the mouth. These are
for the -parentheses which make you
look so old and disagreeable.
Stretch the skin between the thumb
and first finger, warm the plaster and
apply it, 1t will work wonders with
your face The plaster treatment is
used by many of the best specialists in
Europe.

HER OWN LONELINESS.

Not beautiful in curve and line.

A GOOD WOMAN.

She does a thousand kindly things
That no one knows:
A loving woman's heart she brings
To human woes;
And to her face the sunlight clings
Wher'er she goes.
And so she walks her quiet ways
With that content
Which only comes TO sinless days
And innocent:
A life devoid Of game or praise,
Yet nobly spent.

IS DANCING A sINp
(CathoIic CoIumhianN

/
! An answer to this inquirers ques-
ton about dancing, will be of wide in
| tGrest.
Dear Editor:-I would like to see
yGur opinion of dancing | know il is
not strictly forbidden by the church
| but some say it is condemned Though
/ have never seen anything to that
effect. | have been reading books from
Catholic library for two years and
two-thirds of the books mention dane
ing (waltzing) as only an innocent
amusement. Why 90 they do this if it
is not right? ! have asked my confess
sor's advice on this subject and he
said, unless impure thoughts are de-
rived from it, it is not sin. And
again I've heard that it can not be
done without impure thought. Do
they think the whole human race is
corrupt?

A READER.
Dancing is like whisky more or
less dangerous thing, affecting diff
ferent persons differently. Just as the
church cannot and will not pass an
absolute regulation, imposed on ev-
erybody, saying: You must not take
a drink of whisky so it will not say
to all its members: You may not
dance" 1t does say to the man who
cannot drink in moderation, but who
ais soon as he takes one dram must go
on a spree: You must not touch it at
baser passions. beware of it," So it
says to those who cannot dance with
out not simply deriving is be-
ing tempted by bad thoughts, but also
harboring, accepting, conserving to
them. you must not dance at all, no
matter what the dance, even the Nir
ginia reel or the minuet. But to other
persons who are not likely to give way
to impurity while dancing, it says:
Beware, be prudent, be moderate, be
considerable of the moral welfare of
others, your partner. in this amuse-
ment," but it does not, to them, posi-
lively say: Don't 90 it"
Nevertheless the church has warned
the faithful against immodest dances
and it does tell them that experience
proves that dancing parties are proxi-
mate occasions of sin 70 many persons.
A persons own conscience, then.
should tell him what to do. The Church
tries to allow the largest liberty, con-
sistent with the good morals. But a
faithful Catholic does not need to be
to do something's that he knows it
would be best for him not to do.
The church would be glad if all its
members, or, at least those who are
at all apt to be even seriously tempted
against holy purity, would never dance.
But while there are dances that are
not immodest and while there are null
titudes of persons who love to move
around to the rythm of music. with
out a thought of harm, the church will
not be so pharisaical as to make a
general law, including all it's members
and extending to every form of salta-
tory exercise, and say, like hypocrite
and a tyrant-'Thou shalt not dance.

Known as the Dove Beauty.

But the Fraulein Martens has certain
beauties which are hard to match any
where. They are. first. a sweet, kindly
expression of the eyes. They are as
gentle as the eyes Of a dove, and. in
deed, she has been likened to a dove
so many times that she is known as the
Dove Beauty. Her soft gentle express
sion is so pronounced as to make her
remarkable wherever she goes. 1t is
not only her own people who notice it
but strangers ais well. How like a
dove. they say, And this has been
said of her many times. Recently a
photographer, desiring a characters
Tic pose. requested her to have her pic
ture taken with a dove i'm her hand.
Two doves, said he. looking upon
the sweet graces of the lovely pair be-
fore him.
Once, on being asked how she kept
tins sweet look, the fraulein said: Il
have a dovelike love in my heart for
all people" A dovelike love in the
heart for all people might be a good
thing for women in general 1t might
add to the beauties of the world. A
sweet. submissive nature will show in
the face, and the woman whose
thoughts are soft and kind will look it
in her eyes, in her expression, in the
very turn Of her head.

FRAULEIN MARTENS, THE
DOVE BEAUTY OF VIENNA

Fraulein Martens is the prettiest wo-
man in Austria.
The fraulain is not only the prettiest
woman in natural right, hut she is the
prettiest by popular vote! At a con-
test held to determine the handsomest
woman i'm Francis Josephs kingdom
the fraulein received the Majority of
votes.
She ran far ahead of her ticket. which
had the second and third prize beauties
also. II is majesty the emperor. hear
ing of her success, desired to see her.
And on gazing upon her face he said:
'She is the sweetest, the most beau
tiful and the most womanlv woman I
have ever beheld! Her expression is
so lovely"
The emperor was himself the emper-'
or of beauty, for the Empress Eliza
beth of Austria was one Of the hand
soonest women that ever lived. In her
twentieth year she was said to be the
prettiest girl in Europe. Her wonder
fUl hair vas her chief charm. Later in
life it was her figure and her grace that
so distinguished her from other women
of her years.
