The Charles Mix new era. (Wagner, Charles Mix County, S.D.) 1???-1911, 1907-05-17

The Dalai lama, or leader Of ths BuA-
dhist religion, who fed from Lhasa On
the approach of the English expedition
which laid bare the secrets of the forbid
dem Tibetan city some months ago, has
been located by DR.. Tafel, German ex-
plorer. in q monastery at Gombum, near
the Tibstan border. He describes the
lama as q very small man OF the true
Tibetan type. He was employed in ex-
amining candidates for the priesthood.
These. with the attending priests, were
squatted on the ground, while the lama
walked to and fro among them asking
questions. When the answer was incor-
rect, the lama clapped his hand ever the
speakers mouth, as II to prevent him
from disclosing his ignorance. DIR. Tafel
IL said to be the first European who has
ever stood face to face with the pope Of
buddhism.

CHAPTER l.

Mgr. llyriel was Bishop Of D..
AZ the beginning of his cpiscopate he
apportioned out Che revenues of his
see to charities. rescrving TO him
self barely enough for his own sim
pie wants and those of his aged Sis
Ter and one old servant.
The episcopal palace was large,
and the hospital, which adioined it.,
was small and crowded. The bishop
transferred the hospital TO the pal
ace and moved himself into the little
house which had been the hospital.
Tie had not only that charity which
giyeth aI its goods to- feed the poor,
but thar larger charity which suffer-
eth all things, believeth all things.
and never faiIeth in its kindness to
the deso'ate and oppressed.
One evening, as the good bishop

Handing the massive pieces Of silver

Shortly after this there appeared in
the town of NJ sur NJ. a stranger who
gave the name OF NJ. Madeleine. AS he
happened to rescue some people from
fire upon the occasion Of his first en-
trance into the place, he was taken for
granted and his passport was not asked

was the manufacture OF imitation Eng
