Mr.. Bruce dignified the witness with
the title of Senator" while Mr.. Maloy
invariably addressed him as Governor
throughout his session on the stahh'
and the only time either of them neg
lected the courteous title was when the
witness found il necessary TO declare
that he believed Judge Bruce's figuring
of small interest charge amounting to
SOB 50. as being per cent, was wrong,
and that II was in reality an per cent
charge.
He knew c.. Tracy Rogers, Of course,
as did each of the legislators called yes

that the $500 campaign contribution nee
essarily came from Rogers he freely ad-
mitted that he made no point OF the

way.
As to his reason for first opening an
account with the Ellingwood Cunning

Mr.. Merritt referred all inquirers as
to the prospect of cooperation between
the committee and the City Club to Mr.

that it was the province of the chair

Mr.. Yale varied the monotony of the
performance by taking the dignified
stand that all his business with g.

The Lepers of MoIokai.

Brother Francis MARI of st. Louis
college, Honolulu, and resident OF the
Hawaiian Islands since 1883, recently
visited the leper colony at Molokai.
He writes of his trip as follows:
Il just returned from the island OF
Molokai, where | spent two weeks OF
my vacation among the lepers. l saw
gruesom sights and plenty of them,
but they did not appal me half as
much as 1 thought they would. Lep-
rosy is a frightful disease, and may
truly be called living death. How
ever those that have it and are on
Molokai are well cared for. In the
first place, they do not suffer much,
and in the second place they have no
cares or worries. They are the only
real independent people l know of.
The government gives them reason
able rations every week. clothes when
they need them, decent houses to live
in, daily medical treatment, If neces-
sary, and work, for which they are
paid, if they wish it. OF course,
the disease itself and the knowledge
that they are cut off from the rest
of the world forever is a terrible
thing, but the native who is a happy
go-lucky sort of fellow, is also quickly
reconciled when he finds that he
is forever rid of working for those
three bugbears-food, clothes and
shelter.
The leper does not suffer much,
for the parts of the body affected are
dead; hence there is no pain. Most
of them are minus three or four
fingers and toes; some of them have
none left. Some become blind, others
become helpless cripples. In spite of
all this appalling misery. you very
seldom come across one who is really
detected. They go about as other
mortals and if you did not see their
distorted features you wouldn't take
them for lepers
lone day Brother Henry and ]
were invited to the Bishop Home
an institution conducted by the Sis
tiers of ST. Francis for leper girls. We
enjoyed an entertainment by lepers
The leper girls sang in English and
Hawaiian and gave a flag drill
cheered heartily. although 1 felt more
like plying them.
There are quite a number of Cath
Ollie natives in the settlement, and
was highly edited at the earnestness
of their devotion. They have two
churches, one at Kalaupapa and one
in KalawaO. There are two resident
sisters. 1 was the guest of the
brothers in Kalawao, where they
have snug little home which is
never entered by lepers.

Faithful Unto Death.

Incidents of the heroism of the
Christians of Armenia during the out
break of the Turks against them last
April are still coming to our knowl-
euge Here is one that was recounteG
by the witnesses to Father Joseph
Tawil, Chaldean pastor, through
whom it has become known:
On one of the days OF massacre the
fierce leader of a party of Turks said
to a poor Catholic Chaldean woman:
DO not be afraid; we will spare
your life and make you happy, but you
must become a follower of Moham-
med"
L am a Christian, answered the
brave woman, and Christian shall
always remain"
You refuse? All, in that case We
will set you on fire.
Even so, L will never renounce
Christ
The bandits poured petroleum over
her garments and touched them with
a lighted torch.
I'm the name of the Father and of
the Son and of the Holy Ghost" muir
INJURED the unfalterinS heroine, making
the sign of the cross.
Then, clasping her hands in prayer,
she knelt upright and silent, as though
enduring nothing.
See, you are all in flames, and yet
you utter no cry! Do you not feel the
fire." cried the torturers.
No"
so you feel nothing? Well, we will
soon despatch you"
Wherewith one of the merciless
Mussulmans dealt her a blow with his
scimiter.

A Memorial to Catholic Norsemen.

A summer visitor to Gloucester,
Mass. writes the following interesting
letter to the Gloucester Times:
4 have been reading with great in
terest a book concerning Gloucester,
prepared under the direction CT the
board of trade. / have noticed the in
teresting and historically true state
ment that the Norsemen skirted the
New England coast as early as 1901
although the Rhode Island records
show that mass was celebrated by u
Catholic priest, Irish or English, near
Providence A. D. 10000. 1 am most
interested in the statement that these
Catholic Norsemen called the place
'Kroasnes'-Cape of the Cross, and /
write to urge you to make the begin
ming of a move for the erection of a
huge cross as near that spot as posi-
BILE, bearing on its arms the word cut
lar~Se and deep. 'Kroasnes.' Cape of
the Cross. l do wish that this idea
could be carried out and possibly you
would open your columns to a sub
scription list and keep under your
care all money offered. My idea is a
huge, heavy cross of stone with short
arms, so as TO prevent less danger of
breaking. The cross should be massive
and about fifty feet high from the
base. This would be a splendid relig-
ious landmark OF course. some time
this might be lighted by electricity,
but by day or moonlight, even, II
would be a splendid beacon

The Girl Who Smiled.

The wind was east and the chimney
smoked.
And the old brown house seemed
dreary,
For nobody smiled and nobody joked.
The young folks grumbled, the old
folks croaked,
They had come home chilled and
weary.
Then opened the door, and a girl came
Oh. she was homely-very;
Her nose was pug and her cheek was
thin,
There wasn't dimple from brow to
chin,
But her smile was bright and CHEEKY.
She spoke aot a word of the cold or
Nor yet of the gloom about her.
But she mended the fire and lighted
the lamp
And she put on the place a different
stamp
From that it had without her.
They forgot that the house was a dull
old place,
And smoky from base to rafter,
And the gloom departed from every
face
AS they felt the charm of her mirth-
full grace,
And the cheer of her happy laughter.
Oh. give me the girl that will smile and
sing.
And make all glad together.
To be plain or fair is a lesser thing.
But kind, unselfish heart can bring
Good cheer in the darkest weather.

"Modern SCHOOL, In snaIn.

The eulogies on the Modern Schools"
which Ferrer planted in Barcelona are
becoming less frequent in the British
press. We have shown that thew were
instruments for disseminating a feel
ing of hatred toward religion and coun-
try, and the Nonconformist ministers
who praised them so vociferously have
become silent. We trust a sense Of
shame is the secret of the silence. Tho
truth is that no government could toll

Modern British Tolerance.

There is much fear existing about
English rule in India, and perhaps in
some other places. The success of
Japan against Russia has aroused a
spirit amongst the people of Asia that
is influencing all Asiatics against the
western races. The attitude assumed
by Japan towards the United states
and the open muttering in India
against rule ARE points in evidence.
They are things which a few years ago
would not have been thought of. 1t
would be an immense loss to the
Church should the English flag 60
down in India or Africa, or, in fact,
anywhere in foreign lands. Why?
Because, as a rule, in modern times
the Catholic missionary has ever been
accorded fairer treatment under the
English flag than elsewhere. Such is
the oft-repeated testimony of the Cath
Ole missionary, and it is worth some
thing in the enlisting sympathy of
