The young ladies of the Sunday school are engaged in very worthy object, that of supporting and educat- ing a girl in Tennessee. Plans are in progress for concert to be given this Friday evening, although at this writ ing the arrangements are not fully completed. The young ladies meet each Monday afternoon to sew. This work is beneficial in more ways than one, as it helps another and is teaching them the value of a life of unSeltiSh. ness.
 Rev G. w. Davenport, rector of the Episcopal church of Danbury, conduc- ted the mid-week meeting at the chapel, last Wednesday evening. The sermon was full of material for thought by those who listened to bim. His theme was "The importance of a cOnSecrated life."
 A very painful though not serious accident happened to William S. White, one day last week. While en- gagged in loading logs the lever which he was using broke, allowing the log to roll back on him. He is able to be about, though very lame.

down the platform with her chatter
ing companions, she glanced right
and left uneasily. What if some
one from Tadousac should be there,
and this one should tell Jean?
In the big square before the
basilica jostling throngs of pill
grins were noisily whirlpooling.
Suddenly a voice cried:
Hello, Rosa1ie-Rosa1ie Le-
Roll" An old man came thrust
ing through the press, his brown
face aglow with pleasure. 1t
was old Grillaume Laliberte of
Tadousac.
How is the good man Napo1-
con, Resale LeRoi?" inquired the
old peasant. The girl stared at
him, busy with her thoughts, fear
full that he would betray her
secrets, and at a loss what to say.
Her escort, young man with a
flower in his frock-coat, slapped his
leg with fancy cane and said airily:
You have made a mistake,
old farmer. This young lady is
Miss Rose King, and | am with
her. You'd better move on!"
Guillaume squinted at her face,
and then he cried: Il guess know
little Rosalie LeRoi when | see her.
King? King? All, have you Yam
keefied your good old Tadousac
name off there in the city, my
girl! King-LeRoi! IT'S all the
same; but don't be ashamed of
Tadousac and of your friends.
Are you ashamed of old Lali-
berte, Rosalie?"
He glanced from face to face
of her gaily dressed companions,
and the CHEEKY light went slowly
out of his countenance as she still
remained silent. He rasped his

when she thought OF those things
Rosalie's heart grew tender, and
she resolved to keep loving him
much and to think of him all the
time, even if she did not hide
away to look at the new moon.
But after early mass on the
hot Sundays there were many
invitations that it was hard to
resist. The young folks went
away by the electric cars to the
picnic grounds. There were con-
certs by the band at the lake;
there were pretty little steamers
on the river-and it was all new
and delightful after one had lived
in dull Tadousac. Yes, and after
a sweltering week in the mill,
with the greasy, sweet, sickening
odor of the cotton all about one,
a few hours in the summer fresh
ness were grateful, especially
when one had lived life of seven
teen years under the trees and
in the fields.
All the young men declared
that that girl of LeRoi's is
pretty" Therefore her invita-
tons were many, and were
eagerly pressed. After time
she began to go about, for the
young folks enjoyed all these
outings gregariously in parties.
She would not permit any one
young man to monopolize her
attention. They came home tired
but merry, just in time to hurry
to bed, dreading the ding dong
of the great bells of the mills so
early in the morning
Truly it was hard to find
time to write letters, so Rosalie

sometimes hopeful, sometimes despairing.
Each fall when the leaves turn there comes the
season for the pilgrimage excursions to the famous
shrine of Sante Anne de Beaupre Then thousands
of the self-eXpatriated Canadians each band under
the guidance of its priest hurry out of the New
England mill towns crowded into long trains, all
eager for another look at the fields of Canada and
all nursing some secret petition to the good Sainte
Anne.
Some seek health, some desire fair future for the
year. many who have lost those dear to them long
for the consolation that Sainte Annes holy interior
affords. They flock into the gray baslica swarm
into the forty little chapels, confess and hear mass
buy the little consecrated images have few bottles
of water blessed by the father who guards the wrist
bone of the sainte in the sacrsty, then hurry back
to their toll in the cities. Many write to their
friends in the old homes to meet them at Sainte
Anne's, and therefore the great square before the
basi1ica witnesses hundreds of clamorous reunions
every pilgrimage day.

She feared that Jean would not enjoy these gay

was not ashamed of lean and of her love for him.
but she remembered with disquiet how they had
leased her at the first and-well, all that for
the future when she would be a bit older. Now
she would enjoy the excursion, and after she
back at home she would write a nice letter to
Jean, excuse all her past negligence and promise
that she would sacrifice her city pleasure for the
future in order to find hours to write her love

of the city were so much different from the calm

Then came winter and the theaters when for
ten or thirty cents could get a seat well back
but near enough to see and hear if one had young
eyes and ears. The plays were thrilling dramas
and there theaters in Tadousac-and if the
young would tease and pOut at refusals, was
it not better to go along with the Others and laugh
at the jokes and weep when the pale young

from her home forever?
There really was so little time to write letters
that she could not explain all this busting life to
Jean, she pondered. She did not tell him about
the dances, either-oh, what Canadian girl could
resist those dances? Of course as for him, he had

At last the spring came, and the summer again,

she remembered that all back doors do not lead out

When the dusk came down in good old Tadousac
only the frogs and the crickets piped oblgato for
the whippoorwill singing the fields. But
here there fiddles and paror organs, pianos,
cornets tin-panny graphophones and medley of
instruments that bothered to distinguish.
There were gatherings and shril examinations on
the stairs of the tenement flats, boisterous merry

to a Vote Of tho People.

Olympia, Feb. 17.--The house took
up today the senate bill providing for
the removal OF the state capitol from
Olympia to Tacoma. II had already
passed the senate and was made a
special order for today. After lengthy
discussion the bin passed by 55 ayes
to SO nays. The opponents OF the
measure will make an attempt next
Monday to secure q reconsideration.
The bill does not complete the final
steps for the removal OF the capltol,
II being necessary to submit the ques-
tion to vote Of the people at the
next general election, requiring a two
thirds vote to carry the question.
Tacoma business men made an offer
to furnish a site free and to erect a
temporary capitol building to cost $780,
900 until such time as the state can
AFFORD to build a suitable building.
There is no capitol building at Olym-
pit, the one formerly used being de-
stroyed by fire.
