unhappy Inca monarch, to embrace
the Catholic faith, and who held the
crucifix to his lips just before his exc
cution, was a Dominican. The first
prayers said in Lima, the first mass
celebrated in the cathedral, and the
first sacrament administered, were all
performed by the Dominican friars.
AS a souvenir of the first adninistra-
ton of the sacraments, the members
of this order still retain the first bap-
tismal font. In those times the friars

,"I heard the statement the other day
which will give some idea of the for
mer great wealth of some Of the
brotherhoods. When the decree was
made by the government that all the
property of the various brotherhoods
should be managed by the Board OF
Relief of the Poor, the extracts from
the inventory Of one altar showed that
the weight of it's silver service was
$500 pounds. The heaviest piece was
a kind of hand-barrow for carrying
the relics of saints. This, together
with twelve lamps, comprised about
half Of the total weight, altho the
front of the altar and the Virgins
throne were each embellished with
several hundred pounds Of the pre-
cious metal. My informant said the
semonstrance contained more than a
thousand diamonds, as we'll as a large
number of other valuable stones, to-
PAGES and pearls. I have forgotten
the number of the latter as we'll as the
total value of the whole, but it was
a sum princely enough to ransom {

stories that good old Father Francisco
told me of Pizarro, the iron-hearted

Atahuallpa, the Inca chieftan, was
caused by an incident exposing the
Pizarro had agreed to give the Inca
ruler his liberty if his subjects filled
the room in which he was confined
with treasure to the height of a mark
made on the wall. This mark was as
high as the noble prisoner could reach
with his finger tips while he stood on
up-toe.
when the prisoner discovered that
his captor's menials We're less ignorant
than their master, the thought amused
him and he laughed. Pizarro's pride
was hurt, and altho the room was
eventually filled with gold nearly up
to the mark on the WALL he broke his
word, and killed the lordly Inca in
cold blood. This foolish act of VEN

honor of the arms of Spain.

But even tho the conqueror's cruel
deeds left much to regret his valor

In city stores, where clerks have no
control over the prices of goods, the
old-time practice of throwing in
something with a purchase has gone
out of fashion. Years ago, however,
when Long John" Wentworth, after
ward Mayor Wentworth, of Chicago,
was clerk in gracery store, it was
an established custom. A certain Gus
toner was particularly urgent in his
appeals for what in New Orleans is
called "lagnapp."

one occasion, when he had bought a
gallon Of molasses, "can't We just

Young Wentworth looked at him
for a. moment, then his eye twinkled.
