"This has changed everything"
she said. II can't marry him can't
Il shall never marry non-Catholic
oh! | do-see it-noW-It is plain,
ordinary infringement-a girl-simply
hasn't the right-but you will have to
tell him"
The tears brimmed over in her eyes
and Mrs. Long knew what the decision
cost. She kissed her and held her
close.
BE satisfied, DEAR" she said; 'you
are doing right
Alone with McWilliams and recall
ing the scene upstairs, Mrs. Long
looked with new eye at the young
man who was to have been her son.
Tall, keen of face, kindly-eyed, any
girl might lose her heart to such a
one, she thought, sadly.
McWilliams came forward and the
mother, seated at his side, gave her
dearly-bought message with character
istic gentleness. A change swept his
features; he sat with one clenched
hand against the palm of the other,
strangely, powerfully moved
"She wishes to be released-then?"
he said, slowly.
Mrs. Long nodded; her heart SO bled
for him she could find no words.
A long silence ensued.
''She will not marry me because
am not Catholic" he said clearly,
at length.
"She is convinced" said Mrs. Long,
that happiness is not to be found in
such a division
"Yet," said he, emphatically, ST am
convinced she does not cease to care
I am sure-I know it,
Mrs. Long did not reply; it was,
indeed, less query than wondering
statement of what he felt to be a
fact.
II have never heard Of" He
paused. Suddenly turning to her, he
said with moving emphasis: Mrs.
Long-this-this is religion"
1t was an outburst--a sheer tribute
to the situation, to the superb convic-
ton of the girl. But there was no
remuneration in it; rather it's ring was
triumphant, as If to say: Il have heard
of this thing; have sought it; 1
never found it; suddenly, here it lies
in my hand"
"Yes," said Mrs. Long, when she
had recovered herself, you don't
understand, of course, butt is
everything to us-it is"
II think do understand" he broke
in rapidly; "it's wonderful; I
should like to discuss-if thought
perhaps if I knew-if II
He ceased talking abruptly, took his
hat and walked rapidly to the door.
"Tell Evelyn" he said, chat I have
gone to discuss this thing with Father
Terry"

MExIcAN-AMERicAN CHILDREN.

A great deal has been said of late
about the proselytizing efforts of non
Catholics amongst Mexican-American
children, but the story has left a good
many Catholics incredulous that "soup-
kitchen" methods should obtain right
here in our own country, where the
Church is making such splendid
strides. The story, however, is only
too true. Under the guise of non-sec-
tartan schools our non-Catholic breth-
rem are doing all they can to prosely-
tie and win from the Church the little
Mexican-Americans. 1t is not a very
hard task, at least in some of the
Pueblos. The people are very poor
and their taxes are correspondingly
small. It is impossible for the public
schools to remain open more than two
or three months of the year for lack
Of money. Even then, the teacher
secured cannot be efficient in the
teaching of English, which all the
children have desire to learn, so the
non-sectarian schools of Protestant
Missionary Societies find it easy even
in distinctly Catholic parishes. OF
course, the schools are not non-sec.
tartan. They are simply proselytizing
institutions.
The Church Extension Society has
been raising fund for the establish.
ment Of Catholic schools and has been
fairly successful; but so many of these
schools are required that the society
needs every bit Of help it can possibly
receive. We hope some of our read.
ers win interest themselves in assist.

REMARKABLE FIGURES FROM
AFRICA.

It is encouraging to publish the re-
turns from the missions, showing as
they do that the efforts of the mis-
sionaries are blessed with success.
Just at present the greatest progress
seems to be in Africa. In the mission
of South Nyanza there were 4,S74 bap-
tisms. The oldest and most flourish
ing station of the Sacred Heart regis
tered 237 baptisms of adults, 142 bap-
tisms of neophytes and $50 children.
All the converts are not perfect there
any more than they are here, but uni
formly they are good. The attendance
at daily Mass averages 200. The ma
jority of the Christians receive the
sacraments every three weeks. The
confessions number 2S,O12 and the
communions 5000, which are elo-
quent enough to prove the statement
that there is a good brand of Cath
olicity in that part of Africa. In an
other part of the same vicariate is the
mission of Our Lady of the Assump-
ton. The first registered baptisms
were on March 10, 1904, since then
lob adults were baptized. Last year
the confessions show an increase from
2,425, to 21,050 and the cOmmunions
from 27,50O to 35,130. These figures
are certainly remarkable and outside
the Jesuit missions of China are the
largest that we can discover.

MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE" IN THE
ORIENT.

A missionary from China writes:
II know personally of a sorcerer
held in repute in our city. She fire.
quently prescribes live spiders to be
taken by babies when i'll, or the prick
ing of their entire bodies with a
needle" Koreans order boiled chips
from collins as sovereign remedy for
catarrh! They pass hot needles
through sick persons feet and hands
to let the evil spirits of sickness pass
out. A jelly made of the bone of man
recently killed is recommended for
anemia. Chinese prescriptions are OF
a similar order. DR.. Williamson quotes
from a Chinese medical journal:
There is nothing better for lethargy
than to put f1eas into the patient
ears. Bugs are of remarkable eff
cacy In the hysteria of females If one
puts them in the patients nose. Seven
bugs taken in barley water are OF
great value in quaking ague," etc.

SAD BUT TRUE STORY.

Once upon time-and this is a true
story-a number of promoters con-
nected with one of our f1ourishing
churches became deeply interested in
the mission question. The local direc-
tor directed their thoughts to the
great work, held their attention with
his regular monthly talk on the mis-
sions, and while keeping them inter
ested in local parish needs, was able
to give splendid returns to the men in
the field afar. After a time he was
changed to a country parish as pastor,
and no one was found to take his
place with the promoters. The latter,
missing the meetings and receiving no
encouragement, affiliated themselves
with the neighboring parish branch
and have for the past few years work.
ed under their new director with fine
results.
This is an extraordinary example OF
earnestness, but there are others. Dur.
ing the past week many members have
called at the diocesan Office stating
that their promoters neglected to call
for the dues and they were unwilling
to give up the good work; hence their
visit. If all our promoters had re-
manned faithful the receipts would be
at least one-third as large as they are
at present, but human nature is human
nature and zeal will die out.

Mr.. Hammermeister was stricken
with spinal meningitis while at the

and in great pain returned to Black

He became unconcious almost imme-

that condition at 1920 Thursday night

Wire and her brohter, Wm Wedde, ac-
companied her to Blackfoct Unfortun-
ately they got on the wrong train at

DEATH OF FRED HAMMERMEISTER
GIVES SADNESS TO ALL CITIZENS

Sadness has reigned over the city of
Blackfoot since Friday, and one of the
families of the community has been
grieved beyond description by the un-
timely taking away Of Fred R. Ham
mermeister, young man than whom
there was none more popular. The
death of a child, or a young girl just
blossoming into womanhood, ia always
deeply mourned, but the taking Of a
youthful husband from his sweetheart
wife leaves a grief that is almost un-
bearable.
Mr. Hammermeister came to Black
foot about three wears ago, his. boy
hood home being Mayvillc, Wis, and
was about twenty-one years of age
at that time. Immediately upon his
coming here, he secured employment
and being an athelete and lover of spol
joined the old Blackfoot baseball team,
then under the management of w. H.
Kestener, afterward his uncle by mar
riage. He was a highly esteemed en-
ploye of the Brown-Hart department
store for about two years and was
known by every man, woman and child
who traded there. = Six months ago
next Tuesday courtship betwee1 Miss
Hazel, the second daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. O.. F. Smith, and Mr.. Hammer
meister eliminated in their marriage
at the beautiful home, west of Snake
river. AS strong as the turbulent wat
ers of this mighty stream, was the
love this couple bore each other. They
were a delightful couple to watch in
their devotion and when death sepa-
rated them a broken heart was all
that remained to one of the communi-
tvs sweetest daughters. r
