An emergency military supply depot is soon to be established on Corregidor Island, at the en. trance to Manila Bay, and an appropriation ofabout $25O.OOO is available for the erection of quarterrnaster, commissary, and medical storeEouses and other buildings to be included in the depot. This is an excellent site from a military standpoint. as its remoteness from the main land imparts to it the necessary quality of protection in time of war.

tread upon this bridge; instead, she knelt and worshiped, and having COL fided to Solomon vision she had concerning it, the king at once or dered the sacred wood incased in gold and silver and reverently hung over the door of the temple. Subsequent ly, Abijah, son of Rehoboam, covet- ing the precious setting, had it taken down, and after appropriating the metal had the wood buried deep in the earth-so deep, in fact, that a well was dug over it, the famous Pool of Bethesda, the tree of mercy at the bottom giving healing qualities to the waters. Finally, as the time appoint ed approached, the tree rose and float ed on the surface, and the Jews took it and made it into the cross upon which the Christ was crucified.
 Wood of the Cross.
 AS some claim the aspen was the wood of the cross, others select the weeping willow for the tree upon which Judas hanged himself.
 There is an old legend as sinister as the fatalistic Dedipus myth that claims that before the birth of Judas bis mother dreamed that her child would murder his father and betray his God for money. To prevent this tragedy, the babe was put in chest and cast upon the sea, but was rescued and adopted by king.
 According to tradition, Pontius Pi- late as well as Judas committed sui eide, for upon his return to Rome so indignant was the emperor over the governors actions while in Jerusa. lem that he cast him into prison. humiliation too great for so weak q spirit to bear.
 Weird is the legend told concerning the restless, tormented ghost of him who could wash his hands but not his conscience of offense.
 The body of the suicide was first cast into the Tiber, but so turbulent were the storms that immediately fol- lowed that it was taken out of the river carried to Gaul, and thrown into the Rhone. Tempests were the in stant result. Again the body was re- moved this time to Lake Geneva. The same disasters in its train. Once more an attempt was made to over come the evil. Surely, in a far.awav mountain lake locked in the center of the Alps even the spirit of a Pilate could do no harm. Vain hope. There arose storms of wind and rain so great in fury that fiocks and herds were drowned, trees torn up by the roots. and happy-hearted homes washed away to death and destruction.
 Quietns Troubled Spirit.
 Then at the call of the emergency came the man of the hour to answer it. Alone he went to the lake. and with the sole weapons of a scholars knowledge and magic battled with the spirit until it signified an agreement to remain at peace if only it might have one day of freedom during the year.
 The storms ceased, but long after ward whoever went to Pilates lake on a Good Friday saw an awful specter clothed in red toga upon a rock above the water, the grim, ghostly figure of him who saw no i'll yet permitted it."

 Wonderful Passion Flower.
 In the passion flower the reverent maginatio ion has discovered not cross alone, but also the pillar of .courging, the nails, tn crown of thorns, and even spots to mark the five wounds of the crucified body.
 The Spaniard will tell you that the aspen trembles because that was the wood of the cross. However this may be, there is a delightful old legend concerning the tree out of which the cross was made.
 Aged Adam, weary of toll and sin and eager for death, sent to the angel guarding the Tree of Life to beg a boon. The me esssnger brought back the welcome promise that Adam should die in three days, and the added gift of three small seeds which were mys- teriously to be placed under the dead mans tongue before burial.
 From these seeds, the quaint nara tive continues, sprang three saplings that later united, three in one, sym bol of the Trinity. With this mirac- llous tree Moses and David each wrought many wonders. But King Solomon, his whole heart set upon the building of the temple, had the tree cut down, intending it for a magnifi cent beam. Strive as the workmep would however, nowhere would the beam fit, and, cast aside, it was later used as a bridge across nearby stream. When the queen of Sheba made her notable visit she refused to

STATE MEETING
FARMERS UNION
An Enthusiastic Gathering to
Decide the Federation
Of Warehouses.

This body, composed of dele
gates from the several State
Unions, began one of the most
important meetings in the history
of the organization on Thursday
morning. Delegates began to ar
rive on Wednesday and continued
to come in yesterday. Among the
prominent men of the association.
who are present, are j. +. Bull
lard, state president of Sabine; X.
Lee Mills. vice-president of St.
Landry;,S. b. Davis, of Baton
Rouge, doorkeeper. Executive
Committee: L. NJ. McCollister, of
Sabine. j. NJ. Davis of Arcadia,
DIR. w. S. Jones of jackson. DIR.
N. A. Culberson of BIenville.
President G.. S. Barrett of the
National Union also arrived later
during yesterday.
The attendance at this meeting
was about three times as great as
was anticipated, and the greatest
interest was displayed in the gath
ering. The chief subject for con-
sideration is the federation of the
state warehouses into one corpor-
alton, and a central warehouse to
be located in New Orleans. 1t is
conceded that this is the most
important gathering ever held by
the Louisiana Farmers Uuions.
There was an informal meeting
Wednesday night to formulate
plan of procedure for the con-
vention. The first regular meet
ing was held yesterday morning
at the Opera House behind closed
doors.
The Sentinel goes to press as
the deliberations are in progress,
but will publish the results of the
meeting in the next issue.
