DANIEL o'coNNELL's REASON.

There was always A good reason for
any action on the part Of the great
Daniel O'Connell. who inaugurated a
policy for Ireland than which nothing
better has been found in the long
decades since his death, says the Bos-
ton Pilot. He strove for Irish Home
Rule. and he realized the futility of
bloodshed in Ireland Perhaps the
most bitterly criticized action in his
life was his declaration of loyalty to
the late Queen Victoria. at the time
of her accession to the British throne
That it should have been criticized in
Ireland is comprehensive The con-
temporary abuse of the London Times,
however, shows simply an ingrained
hatred of the Irish on general prin-
ciples. and perhaps goes far to ex-
plain subsequent movements on other
lines than those of O'Connell. A cor
respondent of the Dublin Freeman re-
calls the motives actuating the great
Irish Tribune in his address to the
young English queen We quote:
The torrent of abuse from the
Times" to which O'Connell was sub
jected for his declarations of loyalty
to the late Queen Victoria on her ac-
cession to the Throne. may render it
of interest to know that at the time
there was a scheme. or rather con-
spiracy on foot, into which some OF
the Orange leaders entered with zeal,
to GUST Queen Victoria from the sue
cession and to place Ernest Duke Of
Cumberland, the younger brother of
Queen Victoria's father, the Duke Of
Kent, upon the Throne. The Duke of
Cumberland. who was a prime favor
lite with the Orange body. and the ex-
ponent of the most extreme anti-Re-
form and Catholic policy, looked
with favor on the project. He became
King Of Hanover under the Selc Law
excluding a woman from that success
sion. and he did not see why the same
practice should not apply to the sue
cession to the British Throne. O'Con-
nell. as his private correspondence
shows, thought that there was very
serious ground for apprehension from
this conspiracy. which would have
placed a gloomy monster and hater of
Ireland and the Irish race on the
Throne. He considered the attempt Of
the man Oxford to assassinate Queen
Victoria in her youth as an outcome of
this conspiracy
1t was hoped. then, that Queen yida
toria would prove friend to Ireland.
The hope was disappointed; but
O'Connel had in view. in the last an
alysis. to choose the least of two evils
The Queen was a good but narrow
minded woman, who took it deeply to
heart that the Irish were not wildly
enthusiastic over her beloved consort,
Prince Albert. Her son and successor,
King Edward. has shown more good
will to Ireland during his few years
on the throne than Queen Victoria
showed in her reign of nearly sixty
years. If it rested with him alone,
we believe Ireland would have Home
Rule already.

The TRAGEDY of a Soul.


Wondering away on the wall of the
old monastery in Milan, Italy, hangs
the famous Last Supper" of Leon
ardo da Vinci. Like every master
piece. the painting required many years
of patient labor. and as a result of
that labor it is perfect in its natural
ness of expression and sublime in its
story of love. In addition to these
qualities it has an incident in it's his
tory that contributes not a little to-
ward making it the great teacher that
it is, says the Newark Monitor.
1t is said that the artist. in paint
inG the faces of his Apostles, studied
the countenances of good men whom
he knew. When, however, he was
ready to paint the face of Jesus in
the picture he could find no one that
would satisfy his conception; the face
that would serve as a model for the
face of Christ must be dignified in it's
simplicity and majestic in its sweet
ness.
After several years of careful
search the painter happened to meet
one Pietro Bandinelli. choir boy of
exquisite voice. belonging to the Ca
thedral. Being struck by the beautiful
features and tender manner that be-
spoke an angelic soul, the artist in
duced the boy to be the study for the
painting of the face of Jesus.
All was done most carefully and
reverently, but the picture was as
yet incomplete, for the face of Judas
was absent. Again the painter, with
the zeal OF the true lover of his art,
set about in search of a countenance
that might serve for the face of the
traitor. Some years passed before his
search was rewarded and the picture
finally completed. AS the artist was
about to dismiss the miserable and de-
graded wretch who had been his aw-
full choice, the man looked up at him
AA-o S0AN' L w AoN We pdluICu HE Uc-
FORE Mortified and dumb with
amazement, the painter learned that
the man was Pietro Bandinelli. During
those intervening years Pietro had
been at Rome studying music, had
met with evil companions, had given
himself up to drinking and gambling,
had fallen into shameful dissipation
and crime. The face that now was the
model for the face of Judas had once
been the model for the face Of Christ.
Here is the story of sinful life
and, alas; how often has it been re-
peated. The soul that has lost by sin
the innocence and beauty that God
gives it has in this story the reflection
of its own existence. Every soul that
is without sin is Christ-like; but the
soul that is disflgured with sin is as
hideous as the soul of Judas was Just
as the expression of countenance
often betrays a hidden life of sinful
indulgence, so the soul, always in the
sight of God, blackened and hideous;
but If free from sin it is delightful and
sweet. Beware, then, of the one real
enemy in life-sin, that destroys soul
and body.

RAINY SEASON IN PANAMA

Is almost unimaginable. This is the

GUESS MADE HM A PROPHET.


Ponoa Indians Believe that "A
Door Il asSeer.
white Deer, a member OF tho ronca
tribe Of Indians, owes his presen.
standing In the tribe to the fact that
he once made a guess which turned out
to be correct and Of which he took al
vantage to play upon the superstitlons
Of his tribesmen, says the Kansas CiV
Star. He Is now one Of the head men
of the tribe, not so much In the trlDai
councils as in the religious ceremonies
He Is regarded by almost every mem
Der of the tribe as being In close toucn
with the deity, and his advice is much
sought by the superstitious ones, and
every Indian Is superstitious to GER
tain degree.
Some years ago, before the govern
ment authorities put the ban on gnoSt
dances for his tribe, White Deer was
one Of the leading dancers He was
big and strong, and when the popular
ity Of an Indian depended upon his
ability to endure much torture and to
dance for long time he stood in the
front rank.
Soon after the Poncas were moved
from the north to Oklahoma, where
their reservation Is now located, the
tribe was holding ghost dance, and
as usual White Deer was prominent
among the young bucks who were do
ing the feature part of the dancing.
After many Of his fellows had fallen
from exhaustion he danced on until he
alone was left. Soon he, completely
worn out, fell to the ground uncon'
scious. He lay in a stupor for hours
After being unconscious for nearly
all Of one day he suddenly awakened.
Without noticing any of the members
Of the tribe except one, squaw, he
called her to him and told her that her
son wanted her to come to him. The
womans son, boy of 8, had died four
years before that time. White Deer
related how he had seen the boy and
how the boy had called for his mother
and wanted her to come to him.
White Deer ended with the prophecy
that she soon would go. -Four days
later the woman died. The agency doc
tor diagnosed her case and attributed
her death to fright. The Indians be-
lieved then, and do yet, that her death
was simply the fulfllment of White
Deer's prophecy and that no power on
earth could have saved her. The wom-
an died in intense agony and when she
realized that death was near abe ex-
pressed great terror.
Since that time White Deer has been
the prophet Of the tribe. He frequent
ly goes into frances and remains uAcon-
scious for hours. When he regalns con-
seriousness he always has some sort of
a prophecy concerning the welfare of
the tribe. The most of the members
Of the tribe believe in him implicitly
and would not entertain a thought of
doing anything against which he has
given his advice.
