Between Ourselves,

The girls who win their way into
the Utmost recesses of others hearts
are not usually the most brilliant and
gifted. but those who have sympathy,
patience, self-righteousness and that
indennable faculty Of eliciting the bet
ter nature Of others.
Most Of us know girls who have ap-
pealed to lis in this way. We have
many friends who are more beautiful
and gifted. but there is not one Of
them whose companionship we enjoy
better than that Of the girl who per-
haps never makes a witty or profound
remark, but whose simple quality Of
human goodness makes up for every
other deficiency.
And If there came a time of real
stress when we felt that we needed
the support Of real friendship, we
should choose above all to go to this
sweet girl. certain that we should find
intelligent sympathy, a charitable con-
struction Of our position and Difficult
ties and readiness to assist us beyond
what we ought to take.
Beauty of spirit is more than beauty
Of face and form and remarkable in
tellectusl qualities are not to be COM
pared with unaffected human goodness
and sympathy.

LoURDEs' LATEST WONDER.
The Astounding Cure Of Mario BoreI.
Tho Doctors Verdict.

The world is used to miracles at
is now reading with more than ordinary
amazement about the last wonder that
occurred at the grotto. 1t will be of
especial interest for Americans to know
that Mrs. Bellamy Storer sends the ac-
count of it.
The subject of the cure was Marie
Borel. who was suffering from ailments
that can only be described in medical
Latin. In English the account would
shock. 1t will suffice to say that on the
morning of the 21st of August last she
was immersed in the pool; in the after
noon the dressings of all her horrible
and feitd wounds were removed, and
there was scarcely a stain upon the
bandages. On the following day she
was again immersed. and all the inter
nal perforatiors and distortions and
hardenings which she was suffering
ceased, and she sat up, and has been
well ever since.
The doctors solemly affirm that I'VE
must acknowledge the Intervention Of
supernatural power and confess that
we are in the presence Of a super
natural fact
The singular part Of It Is that she
had scarcely any hope Of being cured,
and was told by the few who were bold
enough to get near enough to her, for
her presence was almost uncomfortable.
that she was foolish to have come.
The morning Of her cure she prom
ised that If she got we'll she would give
now about to enter a religious order
of nursing Sisters.

black automobile came whizzing down
the State road. Mr. Rockefeller got
out and walked up the road alone. The
visit lasted about ten minutes during
which time Mr.. Rockefeller and Car
dinal Losue did most Of the talking.
Cardinal Logue said: mfr. Rocke-
feller. you have a beautiful country
here. never realized that America
was so grand. I have been charmed by
it,
THANK you deeply for such an ex-
preston of America said Mr.. Rookie
feller, FOR I love my country and am
very glad to hear you speak 80 highly
of it,
Then each asked for the others
health. Cardinal Logue said that he
was having strenuous time, but was
standing the dinners and suppers we'll.
Mr.. Rockefeller said that he never felt
better. and attributed it all to golf.
You should play golf. Your Eminence:
1t is the greatest health game in the
world"
The Cardinal replied that he was
afraid he could not play the game.
Il regret deeply that cannot know
you more intimately. Cardinal" said
Mr. Rockefeller. II would like to be
close to you, to understand your feel
ings and your responsibilities in so high
place in your Church. l am very
sorry that we can't see more Of each
other"
At Mr.. Buffers request. the Cardinal
and party posed for a picture. after
which. grasping the hand of the Car
dinal in hearty manner, Mr.. Rookie
feller said This has been a. memor-
able occasion to me, and I am very
happy indeed to have had the oppor-
tunity of meeting you. Carry my best
wishes back to the people of Ireland
for me. wish you a pleasant voyage"
Good by said Cardinal Loguc. Il
am most happy to have met you, too"

AMENITIES EXCHANGED.
John D. Rockefeller Pays Respects to
Cardinal Logue.


John D. Rockefeller paid his respects
to Cardinal Logue, Primate of All Ire
land, at the home Of James Butler, East
View, near Tarrytown, N. Y, on We'd
nesday, June 3. The meeting was ar
ranged by Rev. Patrick j. Lennon,
rector of the Church of Magdalene,
Pocantico Hills, who often plays golf
with the oil king. This companionship
of the links had caused Father Lennon
to become a victim Of the Cardinals
kindly wit. The Cardinal and his party
reached East View the previous Tues
day evening. The Cardinal was intro
duced to several priests who were
waiting there to see him. One of them
:sas Father Lennon.
This is one who fraternizes with
ar. Rockefeller, the richest man in the
world.' His Eminence was told.
Il wonder if he is like one of my
priests in 1reland?' said the Cardinal,
smiling. "He often played with a rich
man. and he always lost the game. But
when the rich man died he left the
priest: $1,000. Do you win or lose,
Father Lennon"
Smiling, the Cardinal went on into
the house. leaving Father Lennon to
the tender mercies Of his joking
brethren.

afternoon when Mr.. Rockefeller's big

not brought it, although it has un-
doubtedly done more than any pre-
vious legislation to promote peace in
this distracted country and offers
promises Of future prosperity and con-
tentment. s@s
Naturally some sof the land owners
have not been willing to sell their
property, and their tenants have been
trying to force them to do SO. That
accounts for the "cattle driving" and
similar disturbances that you read
about in the newspaper cablegrams
from Ireland. It isi to be regretted that
the tendency Of the newspapers is to
publish sensational occurrences and
unfortunate events. If a man commits
a great crime it issadvertised from ono
end of the world to the other. If he
does a good deed very little Is said
about it, and false impression con-
corning conditions in Ireland has been
created by the widespread publication
of every little outrage or disturbance
that occurs over here while the enor-
nous usefulness and the satisfactory
application Of the Wyndham land act
has been almost entirely neglected by
newspaper writer's.
There have, however. been a good
many little disturbances occasioned
by the efforts of the tenants of certain
Estates. particularly those that are
now devoted to seattle breeding, to
force their landlords to divide UP tho
pastures and SELL them At present
there is more money in the cattle and
sheep business then in any other kind
of farming In Ireland and, as you
drive out to the interior. you can see
the loveliest pastures in the world
filled with fat, sleek animals feeding
upon the luscious grass which has Civ.
en- this island the name of 1.-The Elmer
aid Isle.''. do not believe there
are richer or more beautiful pastures
in any land and Irish beef and mutton
command. a premium because of their
flavor and tendstness. Hence pros
porous cattle hfeeders cannot be
blamed for refusing to sell their pas
lures and go out ok business. and there
is NO }aw%ta. conf til a4tna do. So But
the rough and reckless elements in the
villages and in many cases among
their own tenantry, often try to per-
secute them by cattle AND sheep "driv-
ing" as 1T rs called. until they are
willing to cry quits. The popular
method is to- break down the gates
in this fcountry--turn the cattle and
sheep into the road and run them as
far as possible away from their proper
pastures, scattering them over the
country. This is done in the night
and the next morning the owner is
