D. A. Penquite, Of 511 South Fifth

marvel. Two applications of it cured
me Of itching hemorrhoids, which. de-
spite the use Of innumerable remedies
said to be sure cures for just such con-
ditions, defied all my efforts to get the
slightest relief. let alone any perma-
nent result. A relative of mine, well
nigh discouraged by repeated fall
ures to get assistance for hemorrhoids,
thoroughly tested this ointment as
well as l. His experience, added to
INV own, compels me to say that my
appreciation of Doan's Ointment can
far better be understood by myself

leads to the Church Of st. Mary at the
summit and to find, If may be, that
miraculous release from sickness and
suffering that so many devout Cath

What Lourdes is to the Roman

many, Holy Hill is fast becoming to
the followers of that faith in this

Each year ices an increase in the
number who make the pilgrimage
until of late from $4,000 to 10000 have
visited the place each year.
Holy Hill is a lofty and grandly pic
turesque place near Hartford. about
80 miles from Milwaukee. The hill
has gained great fame as a shrine of
sacred pilgrimage. Its popularity has
become so great in recent years that
it's renown has no parallel among the
institutions of its kind anywhere in
the United States.

o meas or OF Hartford ana covers q
tract Of ground nearly 40 acres in ex-
tent. The hill upon which the shrine
proper, or chapel, is located is tall,
conical shaped and towers higa above
the surrounding country. 1t rises to
a height of 2S9 feet above its base
and S27 feet above the level of Lake
Michigan.
The church stands on the highest
point of the hill and can be seen for
miles away. The building is Of brick,
with little ornamentation, and of the
Gothic style. The church spire is on
the end over the main entrance Of the
double doors, which open under a cir
cular gallery attached by the ends to
botb sides of the church. The interior
is cheerful and well lighted by the
tall windows Of stained glass. The
roof is supported by six sanded col
umns, whose slender proportions In
crease the height and beauty Of the
place. The chancel Is carpeted and
separated from the chapel by a low,
latticed communion rail Of wood, COW
cred with dark cloth extending across
the narrow p-assageways on each side.
In the chancel there are one main and
two side affairs. The combined cost
of the three affairs was $1,100, which
was contributed by persons interested
in the welfare of the church. Back Of
the mensa and projecting from under
meath the canopy Of the main altar
stands the tabernacle, built in ac-
cordance with the rules OF Catholic
architecture, having a double door
with lock and key, ~ornamented in gold
with grapes and heads Of wheat, the
emblems of the sacrament. Under
meath and in front of the mems is a
figure of the Lamb of God resting on
a sealed book. The candelabra and
many of the accessories used in wor.
ship are the gifts of c%haritably dis.
posed persons. On the left of the
altar, in the main body of the church,
located in the gallery. To the right
in the chancel, suspended from the
side wall, hangs a square case with a
glass front entitled a 'votive tablet"
Among the vow offerings are several
pairs of spectacles left there as proofs
of the efficacy of the place in curing
eyes impaired by disease. There are
also stored in a ecess of the church
a number of old crutches which have
been discarded by men whose lame
ness has been cured. A popularity
about the church is that no marriage
ceremony has ever been solemnized
there nor has any funeral ever been
held.
