MARKED BY A MIRACLE

Extraordinary excitement has been caused

series OF what described miraculous hap

spondent OF the St. Louis Gobe-Democrat
writes
Among the children who are being educated
by the good nuns OF Kiltimagh is girl OF
thirteen. who has been inmate of the con-
vent school for the last three four years.
She is described extremely docile and af-
fectionate and more than usually religious.
few nights ago one OF the nuns was awakened
by fearful screams from the dormtory where
the girl slept. and on going to her she was told
that the child had had terrible dream, in
which she saw Christ on the cross and sol
dier driving lance into his side.
The nun comforted her and she went to
sleep but in the morning she complained that
her arm was sore and on examination 1t was
found to be marked with cross in red and
underneath the cross were the letters Il. H.

peared below the and the letters II n.

ance of chalce surmounted by host in

parish priest. Rev. Father O'Hara. and by DR..
Madden of Kiltimagh, who vouch for their be-
ing there but decline to express any opinion
to their cause. 1t Is said that during the doc
tors examination the stgmata bed freely. The
nuns maintain stoutly that the child had no op-

Another illustrating in another way the
credulity which still Is to be found in some

prosecution at Granard of an Australian who
had been travelling the country extracting

said that the man told him he could him

Captain Knight connected electric wires with

The ordnance board oficer turned a switch

thunderous. 1T felt like earthquake" said
Captain Knight afterward. With his men the
venturesome captain escaped injury. but their
heroism was Just real II they had, been

The modern battleships frightfully hot

heat was fearful. There was

that followed one after anoth-
er were due to the lack of this
necessity. There were 20

Captjn Langdon in the far
north heard of the yellow fe-
yer at Fort Jefferson. He in
stantly relinquished his leave
of absence and hastened to
return to his station. Some
months before the outbreak of
the fever Lieutenant Bell had
put in an application to be de-
tailed as Instructor of military
science at the University OF
Vermont. The application had
been granted. and Captain
Langdon. hurrying southward
to join his command. carried
In his pocket the order reliev-

him for work In Vermont.
Langdon reached his post
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1911-01-26

He called in his first lieutenant and said: Il

to Vermont You have done noble work here.
There is why you should stay longer.
You have been through enough Of this awful
thing. Co."
Bell said: Captain. don't want the order
II read It suppose shall have to obey simply
because It is an order. You keep It in your
pocket until the fever is and then I'll read
It and 60"
Langdon shook hands with him.
Bell went with his work. In few days
he felt the hot hand of the scourge on his brow.
He went TO his tent. pulled up his little camp
table and. wrote Official letter to the assist
ant adjutant general at headquarters of the de-
partmcnt Of tho gulf. Holly Springs. Miss. It
was long letter covering many pages. There

might die and leave undone act Of DUTY to
Others He cherished the thought OF the loyalty
OF the surgeons and the enlisted men who had
nobly performed their duties to the sick and
dying. facing the fever and death Itself without
Hinchng. He mentioned in this Official com
muncation each doctor and man by name recon-
mending them for recognition at the hands OF
the department. OF himself he said nothing.
his whole thought was that recognition should
be given to others.
Lieut.. James f. Bell put down his pen. went
to the hospital and in three days was dead.
