the Colonel in the full tide OF wrathful

I left the House in a considerable up

had found his way to Whittinsham from

How Children Were Cared For by
Frisco Relief Committee
In Il corner Of the basement of the
Congregational Church, away from the
busy whirring of sewing machines and
the bustling crowd seeking aid, is a
long table piled with dolls, gayly COW
cred colored picture books and toys OF
every description. says the Sacramento
Union.
The little toy department during the
strenuous days of the relief committee
at the church accomplished wonders in
a pleasing and quiet manner
Nearly every woman applying for
relief at the church was accompanied
the little ones during the QUILTING of
parents was a hard one. In one instance
the only available distraction for one
healthy-lunged youngster was a pack.
age of safety pins. The little fellow
managed to amuse himself temporarily,
but his persistency in trying to masti.
cate a couple of pins brought the ma
ternal wrath on his head, and his
future as an is an undis-
puted fact.
The Rev. Mary NJ. Bowen, with Miss
Sarah M. Jones, were the originators
of the plan to furnish the children with
toys to amuse them while the parents
were being supplied. Miss Jones an
nounced to the pupils Of the Fremont
primary school that she was DESTROYS of
procuring toys and books, and explain
ed the use they would be put to. The
school children responded generously,
and in a couple Of days the toy depart
ment was in full swing.
Many touching little incidents were
noted by the women in charge of the
toy bureau. They tell Of n little girl
who fairly gasped with joy when
brought to the table and told to take
her pick Of the articles. She naturally
wanted a doll, but her choice between a
blonde and brunette was puzzling to
one so young, as it sometimes is to
those who are older. She finally de-
cided on a handsomely dressed, black
curly haired one, and Rugged the doll
tightly to her bosom. One Of the wom-
en- asked her what name she would
call the doll. The little one replied,
well, my other dolly's name was
Laura, but she was burned to death in
the great fire. l jess guess I'll name
my new dolly Laura's sister,"
The large array of toys spread out
on the table was a source of much wor-
riment on the part Of the youngsters
when told to choose what they wished:
The choice between a Noah's ark and
a mechanical automobile brought one
little fellow to the verge of Mysteries.
He wanted both, but could be happy
with neither. and the women seeing
his predicament, filled his arms with
the two toys, and away he scampered,
screaming shrilly for his mother to see
his treasures.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition Of the mu-

this tube is inhamed you have a runlbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when it Is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result. and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out

The Close Of the Mission at the
Catholic Church.

The Mission, which has been in prog
ress at the church of the Annunciatior
in this city during the past week, was
brought to close Sunday night. The
ending of this service, conducted by the
two eloquent and devout Fathers
Eugene and Charles, marks ''red let
ter day" in the annals of the Paris
Catholic church. For seven days SER
vices were held three times daily, and
the unprecedented attendance during
the past three or four days and nights,
was source of unfeigned pride and
pious consolation to the good Fathers,
as well as the popular pastor, Rev.
James Cusack.
In point of instruction, enthusiasm,
zeal and stirring eloquence on the part
of the Passionists, Paris and the church
can well congratulate themselves on
the success of the mission. The sub
jects for instructions and the texts of
the sermons, were handled in such a
mastery eloquent and forceful manner
that, he were hardened sinner indeed,
who hardened not to the still small
voice" calling him to follow the Mas
ter's injunction and obey His precepts
of loving kindness and tender mercies.
The Rev. Father Eugene has i'm
| pressed himself on this community,
with sall people, as singularly pious,
eloquent and able Champion of the
/ Cross" as a man of deep learning and
strong convictions combined with the
consummate mastery of the Anglo
Saxon tongue and equally as much an
adept in all the arts of elocutiOn and
rhetoric that go to round out full
resonant melodious sentences the
graces of a true orator and great
evangelist.
The Rev. Father Charles was equally
impressive and more diacritic in his
practical application of Gospel truths.
May the mission of these pious and elo-
'quent Fathers rebound greatly to the
cause of Christ in this community, ano
may the fruits of their work and IN
fiuence be a perennial and unfailIng
source of the gentle spirit of Him who
died on Cavalry we-washed IN HIS
precious blood might live to save our
immortal souls.
In the simple and unpretentiOussllves
of these men, who abandoned position,
earthly honors and all the most OF us
hold dear, that they might lead men III
paths of peace and righteousness, there
is a valuable lesson to US all, that
teaches self-denial, kindness, patience
and fortitude, lesson. if we but heeo'
that may make the Mission of Christ
ians a vital part OF that Choir lnvlsi-
