from the Philippines.
Passing from the European into the
Chinese quarter, their attention was
suddenly drawn to u cross glitterir.

tered the courtyard which led to the
office, and found Il Catholic school in
operation with a Chinese Brother as
teacher. The priests. upon whom
many pairs of almond eyes were TO-
cussed, blessed themselves and the
little fellows responded Immediately
by Il similar sign of Christian unity.
AS the priests turned to go, another
teacher approached them, dressed in
Chinese apparel from the quaint shoes
to the shaver head with it's long hang
ing queue. He spoke few words
in English and one of the America \
priests, making further inquiries, was
quite overcome when this good Chi
nese Catholic answered, my name is

Courtesy.

1t has been proven hundreds of times
that courtesy benefits not only the per-
son to whom 1t is shown, but also the
one extending the courtesy. It's the
little cOurtesies that often make the
most lasting Impressions. Courtesy
towards its patrons is one of the many
prliseworthy characteristics of the
North Western Line. It's employees arc
instructed to accord all patrons, but
particularly ladies and children, every
possible courtesy and attention. It's
the little details in the construction OF
the New North Western Limited be-
tween the Twin Cities and Chicago
that have made ii such IL popular train

Knights of Columbus.

The year 1905 has been an auspici-
Gus one for the Knights of Columbus
During the year IA new councils were
instituted, making present total Of
l,O43 subordinate councils. The
knights are now organized in every
state in the Union, the chain being
completed by the council in Reno
Nevada. The total membership Janu-
airy 1, 1906, was 143,470, gain of IT,
664 members during the year. The
number of state councils has in.
creased from 80 to sc, the new coun.
ellis being organized in Nebraska
Utah, South Dakota and Florida. Two
new territorial jurisdictions were
established, one in Mexico and the
other in the Maritime Province. The
financial condition is also prosperous

32O,5O9.67; the death benefit, $4,000
and the per capita surplus $3.50.
The national headquarters building
is nearing completion. Twenty coun.
ellis have procured buildings of theil
own during the year.
The charitable work of the society
is also worthy of honorable mention
The Philadelphia knights turned ovel
$1,000 to Archbishop Ryan, the pro.
ceeds of their annual reception; New
York council raised $4,000 for the

Mayor David p. Jones wins in his
fight with the city council over the
signing of the Patterson Street Light
ing company contract. Judge F. v.
Brown has handed down a decision in
the case denying the motion for per-
emptory writ of nnandamus, and dis
missing the alternate writ previously
issued. The courts decision upholds
the mayors contention that contracts
cannot be let by the council by mo-
ton adopting committee report, but
must be let in the form of resolu-
ton or an ordinance, so giving the
chief executive a chance to exercise a
veto. Judge Brown attaches a lengthy
memorandum to his order, going at
mayor and the council. The attorneys
for the relator say they have not yet
decided whether they will take an ap-
peal, but it is generally supposed that
it is their intention to secure a de-
cision of the supreme court.

the preservation of the forests, heart
lily Endorsed the views of President
Roosevelt and the policy of the United
States government on the subject and
also heartily indorse the movement
inaugurated by the National Lumber
Manufacturers association for the en-
dowment of a chair of applied forest'
ry' and practical numbering" in the

The Worm Turned.

At Michigan hotel noted for its
baths for the cure of rheumatism
came woman from New York, who
at once made the acquaintance of
every person, apparently for the sole
purpose of telling them her imaginary
ailments, hearing them tell about their
own, and discussing at great length
the curative properties of the springs.
She made a particular victim of an
old gentleman, who being of a some
what retiring. silent temperament, was
extremely annoyed by her questions
and oftrepeated tales of woe.
Finally, one morning. when he was
taking sun bath on the piazza sur
rounded by a few congenial acquaint-
ances, the woman approached inflicted
upon him a renewal of her tiresome
conversation, and exhausted his pa
thence. His opportunity for revenge
came quickly.
Mr.. Ladd," said she settling weakly
into a chair, 1--WE have had so many
pleasant discussions about our suffer-
ings-and yet not half so pleasant as
they might have been, because I've
been so frightfully dashed with these
terrible palms. Why, l looked into the
glass this morning, and you have no
idea how pale l was! l scarcely
knew myself! But what l wanted to
ask you was this: What do you think
of these baths? Have you any faith
in them? And this climate, particu-
larly, and this air?''
Madam" replied the old man. Il
cannot speak SO surely about the
baths, but there is no doubt about the
climate and the air. l can truthfully
say l feel at home here. Why, when
first came here l weighed less by
more than fifty pounds
Il could hardly raise an arm above
my head. l could not speak an intel
ligible word. 1 never left my bed with
out being lifted from it by strong
arms, and my hands were so useless
that could not pick up knife and
fork. Most of my days l spent half
conscious or asleep upon my back,
and l did not take any interest in the
conversation of my nurse.
You can see now that 1 have quite
little hair. When l came to this
town there was not a spear of 1t on
my head. need attention night and
