Einsiedeln and vicinity were known as the Som

a holy hermit, Meinrad the son OF Prince Berthold
Of Hohenzollern built for himself cell IN which
he lived many years. He was murdered by brf-
gands to whom he had offered hospitality and
who had hoped to find concealed treasures; all
they got was chalice and some books. Ravens,
whose evil characteristics had been disarmed by
the gentle hermit and had become his compan-
ions, pursued the assassins to Zurich, screaming
and picking at the villains heads. The strange
actions of the irate birds attracted the townspeo-
pies attention and they questioned the murderers.

the renowned statute of the Black Madonna,

chapel is known as the Holy Chapel because Of
the remarkable legend regarding its dedication
This Is the story. On September IL, 94S, Saint
Conrad, bishop of Constance, came at the invita-
ton of Abbot Eberhard to consecrate the new
church. He was attended by the Emperor Othon,
the Empress Adelaide and large retinue of clergy
and courtiers AS they knelt preparatory to be-
ginning the ceremony suddenly the chapel became
illuminated with celestial brliancy and before
the altar stood the Savior performing the Office Of
dedication, assisted by the four evangelists.
At the right and left of the divine ceiebrant
angels swung censers which emitted thousand
sweet perfumes, the apostle, Saint Peter, and the
Pope, Saint Gregory the Great, held the vestments
OF the heavenly pointin and Saint Stephen and
Saint Lawrence, who were the first deacons of
the church TO be martyred, acted as deacon and
sub-deacon An angelic choir, conducted by the
archangel Saint Michael sang glorious music
and before the altar lmelt the beautiful virgin
mother of the Son of God. still earlier legend

ANCIENT CLANS OF SCOTLAND
Traditions Are Handed Down
by Descendants.

Hundreds of years ago, when the
Romans invaded England, many of the
Britons who until then had held the
country fled to the mountains of the
north, a land then almost unknown.
These people were not cowardly in
leaving their homes, for they were a
race of hardy, proud and warlike peo-
pie. In their new settlements they en-
joyed greater freedom, for they were
not there compelled to adopt the Ian
guage and manners of the well-armed
Roman soldiers. These true Britons
have all passed away so long ago that
only their traditions are left. The
Celts or Highlanders now living in the
highlands of Scotland are their de-
scendants.
These people today speak in dia-
lect utterly unlike that spoken in the
lowlands. Their dress, too, is quite
different, as is shown in the pictures
of men in kits and shawls and tur-
banlike hats which they call bonnets.
In olden times the highlanders were
divided into tribes or clans. Nova
days these Scotch people are proud to
keep up the old clan names, but the
system of clanship has forever disap-
peared. All of the members of each
clan believed themselves to be de-
seconded from one great ancestor.
They generally took his name, adding
to it the prefix Mac" meaning son.
Thus the MacDonalds were the sons
of Donald.
Each clan had a chief, supposed to
be the most direct descendant of the
founder of the family. So loyal were
the men of each clan to their chief
that his will was implicitly obeyed,
even If carrying out his commands
meant rebellion against the king. oc-
cupying distinct mountain districts,
these clans were like petty nations
and were often at war with each
other and with the common enemy,
the lowlanders. So great was their
enjoyment of warfare that they SEEM
ed never so happy as when in battle.
They were brave, enduring, liberty
loving, sospitable and unrivaled in
their loyal devotion to their chief and
clansmen. One Of the most remark
able Of the highland clans is the clan
MacJSregor, descendants of Gregor,
son of Kenneth MacAlpine, king Of the
Scots and Picts. This, of course.

boast is that the hills, waters and

and thinking Of that broken-nosed
widow, a man stepped in OF the
veranda and held the muzzle OF
pistol to her nose and demanded her
cash and jewelry. He was bewhis-
kered and fierce. He meant murder
If baked. Grandma looked at him
for a few seconds and then tackled
him. Notwithstanding the pistol and
his threats she grabbed him by hair
and whiskers and yelled for help.
Miss Ethel awoke and yelled for the
whole fire department.
In response, Henri Brown came
dashing in. He dashed upon the In
truder and dashed his head on the
floor and against the wall and all
over the room and he would have
kept on dashing If the fellow hadn't
escaped by the window he came in at,

be introduced to Mr.. Henri Brown,

would put an re" on Brown and

The Meaning Of Prayer.

What is prayer? To connect every
thought with the thought OF God. To
look on everything as his work and
his appointment To submit every
thought, wish and resolve TO him. TO
feel his presence so that It shall re-
strain us even in our widest Joy.
That Is prayer, Prayer is that com
munion of the mind with God through
which our will becomes at last merged
into his will. The highest prayer or
communion with God is a life of love.

THE ENGLIsH SITUATION.

II is difficult to size up the Eng
lish political situation at this dis
tanee. We have no such rowdyism
and brutality in our campaigns, and
il this one were being conducted
over here. We should say that the
Radicals would lose through the re-
action from the methods of the mobs
at the Conservative meetings. We
feel a greater personal responsibility
Tor good order in a democracy, than
people do in a country where the
sovereign and nobility stand for the
government. On the other hand, the
rowdyism may he simply a demon
stration of the state of public senti-
ment against the idle class of titled
landholders, and may mark the be-
of a peaceful revolution.
The mob spirit conforms nicely to
the conduct of some of our own fore
fathers in New England. The cleo
tion will be held Saturday, and then
we shall know.
