The cardinal has come. genially and kindly.
at your request. He is not the imposing figure
you had imagined. but there is about him the I'M
mistakable air of one in authority. He is unac-
companied. for even Father Quinn has disap-
peared. and you have a moments fear, dispelled
at once by his hospitable handshake and his sit
down, my child"
He follows his handshake by sinking into a
great, big, red chair near at hand which engulfs
his short figure, and in his gestures that seem to
speak his ~gladness at the respite from the other
cares of the hour there is an unconscious appeal
to your common sense, If not your generosity.
He seems to say. silently and eloquentIy, that he
hopes you will not ask impossible questions and
expect impossible admissions and impossible YER
bal fireworks.
His black gown is buttoned in the front from
collar to hem with small scarlet buttons which
match in color the cap of silk which he lifts oc-
casionally when he wishes to brush his gray hair
with a wave of the hand. a favorite gesture. He
wears patent leather pumps, with big gold buckles.

stockings are plainly visible.
He has a heavy gold chain about his neck sup
porting a beautiful hligree cross studded with pale
amethysts of a color midway between rose and
violet, and a ring on his left hand has a stone OF
the same tint. AS soon as he is seated he draws
a repousse silver snuf box from one pocket and a
red silk handkerchief from another and takes
snun constantly during the interview.
The cardinal has deeply-set dark eyes under
bushy eyebrows neeked with gray, and they are
kept downcast, raised only for a moment now and
again, then dropped Immediately. His face is OF
the type which suggests no slightest mixture OF
foreign blood, the long upper lip a predominant
feature. He has a slight brogue and an occa-
slonal Irish idiom breaks into mis- speech which
has little to suggest the orator. He seems to the
casual study more a man of thought thanof words.
But he does like to talk about the new world.

Cardinal Logue?"
Father Quinn, one of the young

of correspondence, the many social visits and half
q dozen impending engagements for the day. as
reasons why it is plainly impossible even to get a
word with him.
But you can see at the start that Father
Quinn is undoubtedly on your side. He does not

Days of Apprenticeship

Then, in pursuance of German custom, he selected a trade and
was bound out as an apprentice. John wanted to become a wood
carver. He accordingly entered a shop at the corner of Elm and
Canal streets, where all kinds of furniture. piano legs and ornaments
were carved by skilled workmen. To the master of this shop john
was bound for a four years apprenticeship. He worked the first six
months without wages. during the second six months he drew 81 a
fourth year SIS a week. During the early part of the fourth year his
eL ployer died and the young man Immediately secured a position
at sl2 a week in the shop of a Frenchman, Monsieur Rau. n Green
street This man did a, high class OF work and kept a store on
Broadway. Twelve dollars a week in New York in that early day
was a very large sum-. equal possibly to about $40 a week in Omaha
today The salary paid the young German boy is. therefore, a fair
Indication of the high proficiency he had attained in his profession.

Struggles During the War

Laying down the instruments of peace and of the fine arts. he
took up the implements Of war. For thirty days he went through
the manual Of arms in a Germany company which was being raised
by General DeKAlb. On the eve of his enlistment the plea of his
aged mother caused hia to change his mind. He pawned a gold
watch and diamond ring, used the money TO send his mother 20 the
home Of her sister in Fort Wayne. Ind and when she was gohe he
betoOk himself southwark to Washington and then on TO Alexandria.
There he sought work in vain for two weeks sleeping in barns and
generally happening around to the soldier camps about mess time.
Then he secured work in a Wholesale and retail grocery. After he
had been there one year the firm started him and his cousin in the
retail grocery business. A venture OF the cousin as an army suffer
was disastrous and dealt a deathblow to the small concern.
At the close OF the war he went 70 Fort Wayne, Ind, to see his

An idea of what importance the new
railroad is to the prairie country may
be gained from the fact that about
10, 900 tons of freight are handled at
the Vollmer depot every month.
When the road is completed to
Grangeville the additional rich terri
tory to be opened up and the better
traffic and transportation facilities
which the coming of the road is sure
to bring about, will trebble many
times the amount of freight handled
here, at the terminal city, as compared
with that now taken care of at Voll-
mer. Local people little realize the
many changes to be brought in evi-
dence by the advent of the iron horse
on Camas Prairie.

pear in 3rd Annual Program.

An appreciative audience attended
the vocal recital given by the pupils
of Mrs. Reese Hattabaugh at the Arm
ory last Thursday night. Every num-
Der was received with favor and the
recital brought forth what was easily
the finest musical program presented
in the city for months. Aside from
the many cleverly rendered vocal
numbers, the cello solo by DR.. H. V.
Riggs and the piano solo by Mrs. P.
M. Glanville contributed much to the
general excellence of the program.
Both responded to enthusiastic en-
cores. Tell Me Pretty Maiden,
from "Florodora," given by eight
vocalists, was one of the most pleasing
numbers of the evening.
