LIVED TO GOLDEN JUBILEE.
Dominican General Who Fifty Years
Ago Was Not Expected
to Live.
ITO be continued.

New York.-The Rev. Hyacinth M.
Cormier, master general of the Do
minicans, who celebrated the golden
Jubilee OF his admission to priesthood
on May II, was not expected to live
long when he was ordained a priest
and later when admitted into the Or
der.
Henry Cormier was born at New Or
leans December 8, 1892. On May II,
1855, he received priesthood, by dis
pensation, as he was not yet 81.
He Immediately chose to enter the
Order of st. Dominic, but it was very
doubtful for long time whether he
could realize his hope. His health was
so very delicate that he seemed I'M
able to bear the austerities of the re-
ligious life,
He had frequent hemorrhages and a
delay of two years was required to
see whether his health would improve.
Then the pope consented to his adj
mission, provided at least month
should elapse between his attacks of
illness.
Once 20 days passed without a re-
turn of the trouble and Plus TX. yield
ed his consent. Father Hyacinth,
which name he had taken, was pro
fessed at Santa Sabina in Rome, May
%, 1859.
But it was not dreamed by those
about him that he would live to take
UP the work of the order. In fact he
had been anointed few days before
his reception and the end seemed
close at hand.
Forty-five years later, however, in
1904, he was made general of the or
der, and he celebrated the golden
jubilee Of his admission to priesthood.

CAT IN THE SADDLE
RIDES ON THE BACK OF DOG
THAT SAVED IT.
Shepherd Rescues the Feline from
the River and Thereafter
the Pair Become
Friends. -

McKeever, N. Y.-William North
has an Angora cat that has struck up
such friendship for his shepherd dog
that he rides on his back wherever he
goes, feeds with him, and even
scratches up the bones he has buried
and carries them to him. The odd part
OF IL is that the cat was the dogs
sworn enemy until few weeks ago,
when he calamity saved him from
drowning
The cat, which glories in the name
Of Mike, was fishing from a log in a
fair sized river not far from the house.
when the log broke loose from the
bank and tioated out into the stream,
Tom, the dog, had been hunting for a
bell COW, and was on his way home
When he was attracted by the cries OF
his enemy, Mike. For few moments
he seemed to enjoy the cats discom-
future, but suddenly Mr.. North saw him
run down the river few roda and
jump In above series of falls.
The moment he struck water Tom
struck out diagonally across stream
and lay in the path of the floating log.
Az it passed he grabbed the cat by the
scruff of the neck and swan with him
to shore. Then he stuck his nose in
the air, shook the cold water from
his shaggy hair. and trotted home.
The cat followed, and that night be-
gan series OF diplomatic endeavora
tc gain Toms affections First he de-.
clined to steal his dinner; then he
brought his hero fat mouse; then,
finally, when he refused to more than
Wlggle the end Of his tail, he dug up
one OF his bones and lugged 1T to him.
This act OF servitude won Ton's
heart, and the next day Mike was al
lowed to follow him about at a re-
spectful distance. BY the end OF
week both animals were eating from
the same dish, and at the expiration OF
fortnight Mr.. North was surprised ia
observe Mike riding about the farm
on the shepherds back. He has spen.
most Of his time in the saddle" ever
since, and If any other dog offelg Mike
insult he is likely to pay dearly for
his folly. While the disputes are tn
progress Mike will take the nearest
tree and remain in safety until the
battle is over.
MI North objected to taking Mike
along to the village and to the cream
cry mornings, but Tom sulked, and
the result was that Mike made the
trips on his back. He now goes for
the cows with the dog, rides him to tina
gl'st mill, and, in fact, is constantly
with him. Once, when Tom got in a
hight with thieving fox, Mike proved
valiant aid, and between the two
Reynard was killed.

came direct to the castle and boldly
sent word to Beverly that he must
speak to her at once. She promptly an
swered that she did not want to see
him and would not. Without mo-
ment's hesitation he appealed for audi
ence with the princess, and it was
granted.
He proceeded, with irate GOODNESS, to
ask how far she believed herself bound
| to protect the person Of Baldos, the
guard. He understood that she was I'M
der certain obligations to Miss Cal
houn, and he wanted to be perfectly
sure Of his position before taking a
step which now seemed imperative,
Baldos was a spy in the employ of
pawsberGen. He had sufficient proof
| to warrant his arrest and execution;
! there We're documents and there was
| positive knowledge that he had con-
ferred with strangers from time to
time, even within the walls of the cas-
, tie grounds. Marlanx cited instances
in which Baldos had been seen talking
to strange old man inside the grounds,
and professed to have proof that he
had gone so far as to steal away by
night to meet men beyond the city
walls. He was now ready to seize the
guard, but would not do so until he
had conferred with his sovereign.
/ "Afiss Calhoun tells me that you have
made certain proposals to her, Count
