Munsey's Tells
Of Wonderful Cure

George II. Jessop, in an entertaining
article entitled "A Protestant's Impress
sion OF Lourdes," in Munsey's Maga-
zine for April, tells Of an experience
during his visit to the famous Catho-
lie shrine in the Pyrenees, where the
water is said to be endowed with the
miraculous power Of healing the sick.
Says he: During my short stay at
Lourdes I was brought face to face
with a prodigy. One night was
Awakened about midnight by a tempest
Of wind and rain, which effectually
banished sleep. AS I lay, ! heard from
the street below a rich, deep barytone
voice intoning the Lourdes hymn. The
chant was taken up by a chorus of
voices, which mingled with the outcry
Of the storm and dominated It,
"In the morning I learned the oc-
casion of this midnight serenade. The
town was in an ecstasy Of religious en-
thusiasn.
"A girl I had seen at the railway
station, tuberculous patient, had been
healed in the night. The chorus l had
heard after midnight was in thanks
giving for her cure.

tion? Very likely. / can only tell the
facts as they were told to me by a
dozen unimpeachable witnesses. saw

before stricken and helpless. walking

Not even the defeat Of the popular will
In 1924 or the bitterness of 1876 could
sufficiently impress congress with the
serious demand for action to lead 1t
to submit amendments to the states.
The difficulty however, never has been
a lack of agreement upon the desira-
bility and the Importance of a change,
but rather such widely divergent and
irreconcilable views as to preclude the
hope OF getting together.
1t Is possible that the election con-
troversies Of 1912 will go down into his
tory alongside Of those OF 1900, 1924 and
1875. While 1t may not be thrown into
the house, as was the election of 1900
and that OF 1924. 1t has aroused con-
troversy over the rights of eelctors such
as never has been seen in the whole
history of the country. Not from the
time the first electors were chosen un-
til now. has there been any attempt by
the electors of any party to run on a
ticket of another party without the
leave OF that party. And II this should
lead to complications In the counting
