the sick brethren. He was neither q
doctor nor a nurse, but as there are in
that part Of Korea a number Of miner
al springs which r supposed to have
curative powers, this man conceived
the idea Of carrying the health giving
water to the sick Christians. With a
big jar fastened to a rack on his back
he travels miles to wherever he hears
there is a brother who might be helped.
He has absolutely no means of subsist-
ence and does not want to have any.
He accepts whatever food is offered to
him, or, if his attire is worn, some ar
ticles of clothing. But under no con-
sideration does he take any money.
"When l first met him l was having
difficulty in getting a carrier for my
load. Hearing this, he volunteered to
carry it for me. The roads were SO
rough and the passes 50 high that it
would have been impossible for q horse
to travel. My own feet got so sore
that it caused me agony to walk. But
this man trottsd after me with q hum
drsd pound load on his back, always
cheerful and never missing 4 chance to
express his appreciation Of the oppor-
tunity to listen every day to my preach
ing.
Finally when. the time for parting
came, l handed to him what l thought
vas fair remuneration, but the man
Immediately returned it, and no amount

my authority as 4 pastor had any effect
Even when I reduced the amount con-
.s,derably, he still refused to accept any
money, assuring me that his work was
only 4 small return for the privilege of
learning 50 much of the Bible, and that
his regret was that he had nothing to
give me to help mo with my travelling
expenses.
AT last, ], literally forced 4 small
amount into his pocket, telling him with
as commanding q voice Is l could use
to spend it in getting himself some
winter clothes. Even then, just as l
was starting, l noticed him trying to
adjust something in one of my pack

examine the package and found the
money I had given him tucked away.
II pretended l was quite angry with
him, and confused, he finally took the
money and gave US his last profound
salutations. On account Of his constant
w~anderings, this man had not met with
q missionary who could baptize him,
and it became my privilege to perform
the right for him, although I felt like
saying:'1 have need to be baptized Of

The Lower Coast is surely coming to
the front in these latter days. The
new hotel built by Mr.. F. C. Movers
at Pointe a Ia Hache, the new canal
built by his company out to the splen-
did fishing grounds east of Pointe a Ia
Hache where for years our Mississippi
neighbors pirated OIL our fishing grounds
and oyster beds, have already given a
wonderful impulse towards progress to
the whole East bank, and now comes
the cry for Road District No. 2 in our
parish to lead from Pointe q la Hache
to Fort St. Phillip a distance of about
thirty-twe miles, or about the same
distance as Road District No. /.
This road when built will develop the
fine orange and garden truck lands on
the East bank all the way down to St.
Phillip. The most extensive oyster
fields we have lie in the bays along
this route. The Plaquemines Parish
East Bank Back Levee District will
give protection against storm tides.
The normal tide rise and fall is less
than two feet and it occurs but once q
day and not twice a day as on the At
lantic coast.
We understand that the evident sue
cess of our first shell road is the in.
SEPARATION that lies behind the move
ment to inaugurate the second and
we shall hope that before the lapse of
many years both sides of the river will
have shell roads all the way down to
the forts and on to the Jump on the
| West Bank.
We should say to our friends below
the Court House to 60 ahead with their
shell road and they will never regret
it. 1t will build up the whole parish SC
we, as we'll as they, shall have a keen
interest in it. Further than that the
people on the West bank will have
quick access to and return from the
city by the automobiles on the East
|.banksand still further we should H.
gardeit as assure thing that the Lotus

ton control Of our immense oyster
fields.
Let the people from the Court House
down all put their shoulders to the
wheel and aid in this work and w feel
sure that they will secure the desired
she'll road.
We may say Incidentally that with
the eleven miles Of st. Bernard shell
road on the East bank of the river, OH
present thirty-tws miles, and the End
district proposed thirty-two miles,
when completed. will give US seventy.
five miles Of shell road below the lin.
its of New Orleans and the first long
line in the state. Let Us welcome its
advent.

Military energy was again de-

the absence of any warlike de-

efforts are being made to keep
down military excitement so that
nothing will happen to embarrass

soldier who disappeared with two
horses, is said to be within the
Mexican lines. Parks is called

report.

Washington, d. C.-The opening OF
the Mexican mediation conference at
Niagara Falls on the scheduled date,
May is, was assured when word was
received of the departure of the Mexi-
can delegates from Mexico City for the
conference.
Preparations are being made for
dispatching reinforcements to General
Funston at Vera Cruz should such a
movement become necessary, work on
IL transports to carry troops, horses
and supplies is being pushed, and the
military apparently is being kept well
in leash to avoid embarrassing the
mediation negotiations.
A threatening cloud disappeared
from the diplomatic horizon when
the German steamer Kronprinzessin
Cecilie, reported to be carrying arms
and ammunition for Huerta, returned
to Vera Cruz without debarking her
was stores at Puerto Mexico, and it
was announced that the munitions on
this and a second German steamer, the
Bavaria, would be returned to Ger
many. The possibility either of .
seizure of Blockade of Puerto Mexico
or of an act perhaps interpretable as .
violation of the military status quo in
favor of Huerta thereby was eli
minated.
With possible hindrances to media
ton from the Puerto Mexico incident,

Huerta delegates and the protest Of
General Huerta about alleged viola
lions of the armistice understanding

pearance, the South American media

Huerta, as far as was known. had
expressed no dissatisfaction with the
reply of the United States to his pro-
test and the actual departure of the
delegates was taken as an earnest OF
his serious intention to proceed with
mediation. His delegates are expected
to come to Washington from Key
West or Galveston. They, of course,
will have safe conduct through the
American lines at Vera Cruz.
