rusty lock turned for your admit
tance
Within the church you will see the
unpdinted pews just as they were
nailed together by the pioneers. The
woodwork is worn smooth by the
pressure Of successive generations of
worshipeTs on the high backs OF the
pews, but just as they were construct
ed in 1743 so they appear today.
In one corner a quaint old pulpit OF
walnut, with the high sounding board
Of ancient days, is the most ornate
feature, while upstairs there is all
that remains Of the pipe organ that
was imported from Europe soon after
the congregation settled down in its
fine new church. What with the
antics Of the soldiers during the revo-
lutiOnaTy war when music for ribald
barrack room ballads was played on
the old instrument, and the attacks
of yandals and relic hunters, there is
little left Of the organ but the frame.
The peWs, the records tell US, were
occupied by the men on one side and
the women on the other, while the
apprentices. servants and children
were watched over by the sexton in
the gallery above.
There is some controversy as to the
origin Of the name La Trappe II is
generally conceded, however, that it
originated from the remark Of an
early settler who had visited z little
tavern in the vicinity and who, on be
ing scOlded by his wife, stated that he
had fallen into the trap" on his way
home.
A curious inscription in the grave
yard adjoining the Old church records
that one John Favinger was born in
IVA and died in 1921, aged AZ years
and seven days" 1t isn't recorded
that the trap" was responsible for
this, but such may have been the
case.

that the very hnancieTs in Wall street,
with whom Secretary CortelyOu held
daily conferences and who accepted
his word and his advice as law, were
less than one year ago opposing his
confirmation as secretary Of the treas

fitted BY experience for the position
While the senate has rarely ever

that he was 50 much pleased with Mr.
Bacon's administration of his political
Office that he should greatly regret to

felt that a selfish consideration of that

should not be permitted TO stand in
the way of offering TO Mr.. Bacon an
opportunity which would be in the
nature of an appreciation of his
work and at the same time give him
a chance for diplomatic achievement

One recipe-for the casting of a curse
is typical of the medieval barbar-
ism which inspires them all:
Procure a piece of clothing or
some of the hair of the one to be
cursed. Choose an animal which is
the symbol of your victim Kill it
with one stroke, open the chest. re-
move the heart and for three davs
pierce il with thOrns or red hot nails

Then the victim must feel all these
tortures just as if his or her own
heart had been so pierced. Shortly
he or she will die"
Not much opposition to these beliefs
seems to be offered by the priests
Sometimes the church appears even
to encourage them. At Treguier a
chapel still exists where an altar is
dedicated to Our Lady of Hatred. Pill
grims from a distance, sorceresses
and simple peasant folk, kneel there
and pray for the ruin or death of their
enemies.

determined to take the treasury not
only out of politics but out of the
stock market. This was revolution Of
the worst sort from a Wall street
standpoint. but it took just one lesson
10 teach the street" that it was face
to face with a new regime in the
treasury department
In less than a month after Mr. Cor
telyou took his Office he got his first
baptism of fire. The March panic
came on. There is no gainsaying the
fact that the new secretary was nerv-
Gus over the situation. He had his
ideas how such things should be
handled, but he had never applied
them practically, although assured by
sound financieTs that they were prac-
tical. Right in the heat of the crisis,
however, an opportunity came closer
at home than he expected for an ex-
hibition of his own condolences in him
self and his plans.
That opportunity came at a cabinet
meeting. The cabinet was assem- bIed
and certain members of it who had
been besieged by friends in financial
circles TO urge that the government
come to their assistance crowded
around the cabinet table with anxious
faces. At the outset of the meeting
not one but several joined in the re-
quest that the financial crisis be made
the subject OF the meeting. Ii is
related that the president said he
thought it fair that the secretary of
the treasury should first be allowed
70 tell the cabinet what the trouble
was and what he had done to remedy
it. Secretary CCTtelyOu in a few words
laid the entire framework of the pend
ing financial situation before the cab
met. In an equally short time he told
the members what he had done to
ease the danger Of a panic and he
concluded his remarks with this sen
tence: THAT has been done and it is
all that will be done"
Until the cabinet fully grasped the
cOmprehensiveness Of Secretary Cor
telyou's own remedies the members
sat in open-mouthed astonishment at
his audaciJy in bringing the discussion
so abruptly to a close. 1t was plain
from the position he assumed that he
would not welcome any further talk
on the subject and when the cabinet
members realized that all had been
done that could be done anyway, there
was really nothing more TO be said
