How The Panic OF 1907
Was Stopped.

THE Secretary Of the Treasury,
Mr.. Cortelyou, went over to New
York, met j. p. Morgan, and agreed
to let Morgan have S25,000,0O0 OF
your money. No interest.
Mr.. Morgan agreed to let the New
York banks have the use of the $685.
100000 At q high rate of interest;
The banks took the money, and
loaned it to other banks, brokers,
etc.
The interest charged amounted to
as high as 100 per cent.
Morgan got the credit of saving
the country, and also got enough
profit to buy another actress, another
picture and another Oriental rug.
The banks among whom he appor-
toned the $25,o0o,000- cleared at
least 100000 on the re-lending of
Uncle Sans coin.
How much did Uncle Sam make
in the transaction?
Not a red cent.

ing the morality of the priest and nuns, and she
answered you in the affirmative as to their purity
Now since my reason has come to me have
given up the so called religion and am now
strictly a Protestant and as such am speaking
the truth and I feel it my duty to write to you
and deny the statement which I then made If
you want the truth about the Catholic religion
never ask Catholic for it, for so hypnotized
they by the various superstitions taught by
the religion that it is impossible for them to
speak the truth concerning it. At present Mr..
Tom Watson is doing the greatest work Of any
in America by boldly giving to the public
in his Magazine the truth of that damnable reli-
gion. I myself know it to be an absolute sham,
a deceit, and lie from beginning to end

Roman Catholics Leaving
Their Church.

THE Rev. James O'Connor who
abandoned the Romanlsts many
years ago, was directly instrumental
in converting 100 priests to the Pro-
tcstant faith.
Besides he converted great num-
bers Of Romanist laymen.
His death by accident a year ago,
was a national loss. His place ON
"The Converted Catholic" magazine
was taken by another convert from
Romanism, Rev. Manuel Fernando,
D. d.
Since our articles on the Roman
Hierarchy commenced, many lay
men have quietly left the Catholic
church. We know this from letters
to us, and to others.
Below we give one Of those letters,
emitting the name for obvious reas-
Ons.

sides, believing that the Republi-
cans were going to win.
So Chang Hsun faded away
from Nankin, as has been said, in
the nighttime, and with only
single body servant. And he left
Siao Mas TIE and his other
wives behind.
Thereafter Siao Mas TIE
ceased to exist to her friends and
relatives, and this is the story
that is told.
The Lily of Nankin fell into
the hands of a marauding band of
Republicans, who looked upon
her with greatjoy.
"Lop they cried, "here is wo-
man worth many taels!' And the
leader of the band promptly an
nounced that Siao Mas TIE be-
longed to him.
At this, however, his soldiers
took issue with him.
These be not the days of Man
chu tyrants," they told him. "This
is the day of the free Republic,
and this woman belongs equally
to all of us, save only that your
share, as leader, is greater than
our share. Let us sell the woman
and become rich."T
Then another member of the
band had a still brighter idea.

Alo iNSd "oS vain
cheers by his comrades, and the
news that Siao Mas TIE, Lily of
Nankin, was to be ratified off at
the cost of ten taels a ticket, was
spread broadcast throughout the
city.
Then indeed was there great
excitement over all Nankin, for
the fame of the beauty of Siao
Mas TIE was known throughout
the capital Of the South, and be-
sides, the Republicans put Siao
Mas TIE on public view.
Great was the rush for tickets
for truly there was none, however
mean he might be, who could look
upon the fair face of Siao Mas
TIE, and not desire her greatly,
even at the cost of ten taels.
The rattle was held, and poor
man, who had bought only one
ticket (some had bought tickets
by the sheaf), won, and carried
off Siae:Mas TIE. - -;
By the rattle, also, the Repub-
licans realized $4,000 in good
hard money, at a time when
money was indeed scarce in the
Republican ranks.
All this the. detectives of Chang
Hsun, who swarm over the coun-
try about Nankin like flies, have
found out. But who it was who
won and made off with the Lily
Nankin is not known, nor can all
Chang Hsun's detectives find out.
