EMuLA7oR OF FATHER DAMIEN.

The heroism of Father Damien will
long be remembered, and he has a
worthy emulator in the person of
Father Conrardy, who is now sta
toned at the leper island at Shek-
lung, in the Kwangtung province of
China.
For nearly forty years he has Ia
bored among the lepers. His atten-
ton was first drawn to the condition
of lepers in 1871, when he was in
India, and from 1876 he has devoted
his life to the alienation of their suf-
ferings. He labored in Honolulu from
1887 to 1898, then for a year in Can
ton before taking up his residence at
the Sheklung leper island, where he
has all the lepers in the province IN
der his care.
The Canton Government has now
recognized his work, and is giving
him a grant toward the cost of the
erection of fifteen large houses on the
island, each designed to accommodate
seventy-two lepers, so that the leper
population there will exceed one thou
sand. Father Conrardy has, however,
had to make himself responsible for
one-fourth of the cost of the construc-
ton of these houses. The govern
ment will allow eight cents a day to-
ward the cost and maintenance of
each leper, but out of this sum Father
Conrardy has to provide the staff
necessary for the work. Already seven
of these houses have been erected.
Rev. Hugh B. Chapman, chaplain of
the Savoy, who took such keen inter
est in the work of Father Damien,
has just received a letter from Father
Conrardy in which he gives some hor.
rible details of the revolution which
took place recently in China. In his
letter Father Conrardy, who is a doc
tor of medicine, says:
In November the provincial gov.
eminent wrote to me to beg me to
take charge of all the lepers of the
province. Considering / could do them
much good by alternating their bodily
sufferings, and maybe winning theiI
souls to God, I accepted in spite of my
seventy-two years and lonely condi
ton. The Bishop of Canton promised
me an assistant, and four Sisters vol
unteered themselves to care for the
women in a separate island, as the
government insisted.
''The government agreed to put uI
fifteen big houses for seventy lepers
each. l contributed $4,000 toward
them, and in addition l had to buy
another small island for the women
"On December IA about twenty
brigands came. / thought some lep
ers had come to call for me. / lighted
my lamp and opened my door, only t
be covered with guns and revolvers
from head to foot. l asked then
what they wanted and sat down tx
see what came next on the program
1 expected they would surely kill me
as they had threatened that If / fel
into their hands they would rip MI
up. They took all the money put b!
to pay the hands, my spectacles ant
all the rice stored for the lepers.
For six months had lived, espe
cially nights, with the thought that a
any moment / might be shot, but i
did not become a reality even on thii
occasion. Now, in spite Of my years
I have still much work to do. with
thousand lepers under my care AM
with very little assistance, but 81
Joseph is our protector"

HOW THEIR PRAYERS WERE
ANSWERED.

to know not only what it was, but if
it would be granted. He longed
greatly to find this out, for he argued
if Mary's prayer was granted his,
too, might be, and as he walked home
with her, as he frequently did, he
summoned up courage after they had
discussed the sermon to say:
Twill you tell me if your prayer is
granted?"
Mary Luttrell, remembering what
her prayer had been, flushed crimson
and, woman-like, answered with an
other question.
what prayer" she said almost
guiltily.
"The prayer you were making to
the Sacred Heart this morning"
Mary hung her head.
ut was a foolish prayer, because
only by a miracle could it be granted,
and we ought not to expect miracles
Perhaps not, but I am quite sure
it was a better prayer than mine. But
anyhow, will you tell me when it is
granted, if it ever is?"
Yes, l promise / will" said Mary,
smiling, and her smile was very sweet,
so sweet, in Johns opinion, that he
began to think there were other
things in the world better worth de.
string than financial success.
We'll, / prayed for something, too,
this morning, something l want des.
perately; | will tell you what it was,'
said John; and he told her just as
they reached the house of her EN-.
ployer.
Some days later John Murray heard
that his speculation had failed, and he
had lost every penny he had invested
He ragged and stormed, blamed himself
for his folly in risking so much on an
uncertainty, made things decidedly hot
for his unfortunate clerks, and then re
membered that he would probably see
Mary Luttrell the next day, which was
Sunday, at Mass. He would certainly
tell her that his prayer had been re
fused, and somehow he derived great
consolation in his loss in anticipating
her sympathy.
The next morning he saw Mary In
her usual place when he entered the
church, and after Mass was over he
lowered near her when she went tc
the altar of the Sacred Heart, for per
severance in prayer was part of Mary's
scheme of life.
Her attitude, at any rate outwardIy
was less humble than on the previou:
Sunday: she knelt upright with hel
little hands-such pretty hands, Joh1
Thought them-clasped and held out to

and once or twice that smile of her.
played round her moving lips. Joh1
waited till she rose and then went III
to her saying impulsively:

Mary blushed deeply as she an
swered this random shot.
NO, indeed. it has not"
Il was sure it has. Tell me wha
it was?"
Il can't possibly. But how abou
your scheme? Has it turned on
well? Have you heard YETI"
Yes, / have heard, worse luck.

the street.

Manila may now be said to be up-to-
the-minute in things metropolitan. The
latest adjunct to its activities calling
attention to progress in this direction
was the recent appearance upon the
streets OF a motor car washed In mud
and powdered with the fine dust OF va
rious grades OF colors produced be-
tween here and Baguio. 1t had made
a new record between the summer
capital and Manila.
The machine was stripped to con-
dition almost immodest. tenders and
top were superfluous to requirements
and no windshield protected the driv-
er's face against the hot winds that
blow at midday across the plain.
The friendliest feeling exists for the
motor car. The barrios become IA

IMAGINARY BANQUET SERVED.

George II. Hadley, of South Nor
walk. claims to have invented a ma
chine for producing on the palate the
sensation of eating and drinking
without the actual presence of food
or drink He calls 1t the ''gasto-
graph" and it is said to work on the
principle of the photograph.
A sensation record" is affixed to
the palate, and an electric wire trans
mits from a delicate cylinder all the
gastatory sensations that have pre-
viously been recorded there.
According to the inventor. the in
strument will reproduce the most
ample banquet from soup to nuts
from a single record. and the meal
can be eaten a thousand times oevr.
Moreover, meals, or rather sensa-
tions of meals can be served to GUS
toners over long distance. The in
ventor admits that he does not know
what effect If any it will have in
curbing or satisfying hunger. or
thirst, but is positive the most
elaborate wine list can be served
without producing a jag.

When No. = arrived in Carlin Sun

away from the mob and put on the
train to the music of a fusilade of
shots that frightened the sleeping
passengers and scared p~orters SO
that they were afraid to come out of
the cars, minus his Spanish belt,
guns, hat and noisy attire and lock-
ed in one of the vestibles for safe
keeping. Those who b%efriended him
had arranged for his transportation
to Ogden and the firing ceased as

Francois told the police of his
narrow escape in Carlin, Nevada.

pole was a dummy with a rope at

live man on a stretcher, whom Fran

by to the doctors office. 1t was real
enough for him. He will probably
lose his wager to walk from Oak
land to New York, as he neither
walked in or out of Carlin.

The Los Angeles Tribune pays a
high tribute to President-elect Will

president, in which Hamilton Is de-
scribed as a great man but not a
great American, as he was antagonis-
tic to a free democracy and a friend
of plutocracy. In this article Wilson
declared: THE masters of the gov
eminent of the United States are the
combined capitalists and manufacture
ers of the United States" He traced
their domination owe the affairs of
government through all the records
of congress. Sarcastically referring
to them as 1.-The benevolent guard

clared that anybody of ordinary in
telligence was competent to write out

THE FUTURE OF THE
ROCKEFELLER NAME.

No man can accomplish a big thing
however selfish his motive in the ac-
complishment, without benefiting
humanity. John ID. Rockefeller had
thought of altruism in the days when
he was building his ~stupendous for
tune by the most absolutely relent-
less process the business world had
ever known, but what he took from
the world in the way of happiness
the world is bound to get back again,
says the New York American.
The Rockefeller Institute now and
the Rockefeller Foundation in the
future recon the Rockefeller mil
lions into human values. The money
made by throttling an oil competition
in the 70's saved the lives of ten
thousand children forty years later.
The mind and education that came
to him through his ~stupendous ia
Their are devoted by John d. Rookie
%felier, Jr., to one of the noblest mis-
sions in the world-the saving of
girls from the depths. This young
man boldly attacks the prolem that
ages have called ~insolyable; he may
not eliminate vice, but he has set
about finding a way TO mitigate it.
More and more the junior Rookie
Teller is understood and applauded-
not because he is the son of the
worlds richest man but because he
himself is one of the worlds most
useful men.

Republican club luncheon recently.
voiced this sentiment of a%pprecia-
ton. Whenever social hygiene is
newfoundland that is on every oc-
casion where progress is the sub
jeet of discussion-the younger
Rockefeller is named. He actually
brought the dread subject into the
domain of serious remedial study.
Ii will not be surprising if a hun
dred years from now the name of
Rockefeller will bring to mind not
the selfish glory of great riches but
the finer fame of great service to
humanity.

HIGHEST AND LOWEST
POINTS IN THE WORLD.

The maximum difference in eleva-
ton of land In the United States Is
14,777 feet, according to the United
States geological survey. Mount
Whitney, the highest point, is 1851
feet above sea level, and a point In
Death Valley is 276 feet below sea
level. These two points, which are
both in California, are less than 80
miles apart. The difference is small,
however, as compared with the fig
ures for Asia. Mount Everest rises
1902 feet above sea level whereas
the shores of the Dead Sea are l.
290 feet below sea level, a total diff
ference in land nights of 30,292 feet
Mount Everest has never been climb
ed.
The greatest ocean depth yet
found is 32,0SS feet, at a point about
40 miles north of the island of Min

summit of Mount Everest.
The difference in the land heights
in Europe is about 1865 feet.

SEES NEVADA'S
CRITICISM OCCASIONED BY WIDE
OPEN DIVORCE LAW WILL NOW
GIVE PLACE TO BETTER
THINGS.

Nevada is getting more advertising
in the various papers of the country
because of the divorce amendment
than it ever got because of the
six months residence law, and it is
of a better sort. The press of the east
is eongratulating the state on the
passage of the new law, the number
of comments indicate how the
eyes of the rest of the United States
have been fixed on this state during
the session of the legislature, and
incidentally what they thought of Ne
yada when the divorce epidemic was
in full swing.
The following from the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat is a fair example of
the comment being made:
