WHO WAS ONCE A ROMAN
CATHOLIC,


CATHOLIC.
My Dear Sir: l have just read
the first article of the December
number of Watson's Magazine, and
I can read no further, I must write
and tell you that / want to do some
thing more than simply read, l want
to do something that shall count in
this great fight against what I con-
slider the greatest and most danger
Gus enemy to our land with all Of
her glorious institutions.
l am a minister Of the gospel in
the Presbyterian church. I was
born and raised in the Roman
Catholic church and faith. In due
time God, through wonderful provi-
dences rescued me from the clutches
Of the beast and placed me in
position of influence and power.
Sometimes | become very impa-
tient, I feel that I am doing nothing
worth while, that is, | feel that [ am
doing nothing that counts, and | ask
myself over and over as to whether
l ought not leave the pulpit as such
and devote my time to going up and
down in the land and sound the note
of warning and bring light to those
who sit in darkness. 1t is a sad
thing indeed to see that the Ameri-
can people are so slow to hear the
cry of danger and they do not want
to be disturbed. Foolishly they are
dreaming of the time of polemics as
being past, and the time of broad
charity as being the present time.
While Protestant America sleeps and
MI a fOrnnc Of n on
tator are lying deep and cunning
plans, all looking toward certain and
definite action some time in the fu-
ture.
Now, what I want to know, sir, is
this. Could you send me a. number
of copies of the December issue, or
of any other issue, December pre-
ferred, which I might use as sample
copies. I will stand responsible for
them myself. I will place them into
the hands Of people who will read
them and to whom I can go for a
subscription to the Magazine.
wish I were able to do it, l would
place a subscription to the credit OF
every man, every citizen, every voter
I know.
Let me know what I can do. If
you can think Of anything that I can
do, tell me, and if I can at all do it,
count on me.
The greatest disappointment
which [ have ever had in my life,
and l mean it all, was when I had to
read that President Wilson attended
the so-called Pan-American Mass on
Thanksgiving morn. l was a. great
admirer Of Mr.. Wilson. I sent him
three letters during the time he was
Governor Of New Jersey, and his
presidential campaign, but he has
fallen in my opinion and in that of
thousands of other true and loyal
Americans. May God give us
President soon who will be big
enough, and who will be American
enough not to prostitute the sacred
trust committed to him before the
beast
l am yours, dear sir, sincerely and
fraternally, and for fight to the
finish in the greatest issue before
the country. May Mr.. Watson be
spared many more years and may
God raise us up other men like him,
is my earnest prayer.

DEMOCRATS AND PROGRESSlVES MAY
 BEAT REPUBLIC

Boston. Jan h7-The possibility of coalition of Democrats and Progres- sives in an effort to prevent the re- election of Grafton p. Gushing, Re publican, as speaker of the House of Representatives, created unusual in terest in thesconvening of the Iegislas- ture today for it's annual session.
 Fsr many years the Republicans have controlled both houses but in the House this year the Republican mem bershdp of 116 is four less than a ma jority. There are 104 Dernocrats 1 Progressives and one Socialist. Peter F. Hague was the Dem ocratic caucus nominee for speaker and George P Webster was the Progressive cand4- date.
 As the Republicans have a majority of four in the Senate, tn ey were asIJie to control the organization of kj1at branch and secure the election of Calvin Coolidge, of Northampton as president; Henry D. Coolidg of Con- cord as clerk. Key. p. A. Horton; of Boston, as chaplain and Thomas F. Peddrdck, of Lynn, as sergeant -at4 arms. .s sss & <
 David I. Walsh, Democrat, will be dnaugurated as governor tomorrow A hundred measures already have been E filed and. with the prospect Of at least 2.000 to be introduced, it is expected that the session will last six months.

$500 Rebel Achievements
 Now Are Near To Ojinago
Villa Himself Is At Head Of Force Which
 Expects To Subdue Federal Army

dntrenched to the west, resting. The federals with characteristic tactics. have remained in the town celebrating the victory and have made no effort to follow up the advantage by pursu- ing the rebels or cutting off the scout ing parties from the main column.
 The federals have made no prepaTa- uons for resistance except to rebuild the trenches which were destroyed by the rebel artillery fire and to drag a few adobe brick roofs off the low houses from which the sa1arpshooters fire. The federa.ls do not wish to take the aggressive and prefer to remain in the town.
 The rebels and federals both have appealed to Major M. M. McNamee to care for their wounded, as they have no facilities for giving even 9. first add dressing. Major McNamee sent a de- tachTnent to Indfo Springs, near the Rio Grande, to get fifty rebel wounded who were there waiting to cross. The federaIs also are sending their wound ed to the American side. Two hum dred tents, eighty cots and one hum dred blankets nave been received from Fort Bliss for the use of the Red Cross.
 The federals burned their dead on the plain above the desert last night and the funeral pyres could be seen plainly for a mile. For fear of con tagfon, the bodies are being piled in ricks like cordwood and burned with the ruins of the demolished houses. No effort is being made to bury the rebel dead and little effort to care for the wounded who were left in the Buildings.
 Refugees continue to cross the kiver and there is one camp of 1,500 near Presidio which is being supplied with food by the relief department of the American Red Cross

up to a big tWo-horse load every day in the year, with perhaps two or three exceptions due to snow storms in the winter; and the produce all went to one commission man, who has now handled it for all these years, and of. course made lot of money on it.
 The brothers stored their roots in ground cellars, not much but mere pits. and took them out as needed, trimmed and washed them, and carted them to the market. After they got we'll started, and had, enough land under cultivation, they put away in the bank about g. 500 a year They have made themselves rich on the little old aban- .doned farm. that was the joke or the neighborhood before they went there The farmers fhereabout mostly all farm just as they did before this ob- ject lesson was put before their eyes. They say it is not farming. It is not, granting their point of view. It is the new business of working the land These men only kept one or two Cows to make their own milk. They kept horses enough to do their farm work and haul their wagons to market. They did not experfme lent. They did not go in for strawberries or potatoes, except to get the few they needed for thAir table They did the most of their own work. They paid something like $500 for the old farm, as remember it. and what it is worth now they do not knOW. 1ney GO nor care. Ihey cap itaHzed their brains and their muscles Anybody with modicum of sense can do what they dfd-what they are doing now.
 j It has been demonstrated that under good conditions there can be as many raised, alta cost of around half dollar a ton A test was made on two acres and the result was a product of 82 tons, using four varieties to make the test fair, and the total cost was $4255: not however including such overhead charges as interest, taxes, depreciation of tools, etc. Your real farmer does not consider it good business to take any account of overhead charges His land he mostly considers a gift from the gods, and his depreciation comes out of profits when he has to replace tools or barns once knew a big farmer who had accumulated a bank account selling milk to contractors who said he never even checked up the buyeu's accounts, nor kept any record of his product or shipments. He just
 m11ked every morning, put the milk in the cans and carted it to the station. and took whatever checks the contract or sent him. What is the use ss he said. sT will have to take whatever they give me any way. and have enough to do to take care of the cows.s. Other business men beside farmers do this way also, and it is not all farmers. who are careless in their accounts : A big printer that know keeps no books other than very simple and clement ary book of original entry in which he charges for his work. He owns his shop clear, and it may be worth near $75.000. He guesses 1t is. but he does not know He has no inventary. and never means to take one. The insur. ance men make their own estimates. He knows the amount of money he
 has in the bank, and as he rays for everything he buys when he gets 1t. that IS his sufficient evidence of sol vency, or wealth.

Ojinaga, Mexico, Jan. 7-Genera1 Pancfno Villa, with his achievements, has arrived at Camargo Springs. 1z miles southwest of Ojinaga, and is conferrdng with Generals Ortega. and Natera regarding the renewal of the battle which ended Sunday evening with the rebels retreating south and west
 Accompanying General Villa was General Rosalio Hernandez and Mon cdovdo Herrera. each with 8, force of men under General Villas direct com and carry several field pieces, five ma chine guns and ammunition for the entire rebel command.
 General Villa was in conference with his chiefs for an hour after his arrival, and severely criticized them for their failure to take the town from the federa1s He announced that he would take charge in person, and that he would take the town or sacrifice his life on the Ojinaga Slopes
 General Villa will reorganize his en- tire force, place his fresh troops and commanders in the lead and take the crest of the plateau by storm. He has negotiated with agents on the Ameri- can side for machettes with which to arm his men in the event it becomes necessary to do any hand to hand fighting. The rebels never have car ried bayonets. but General Villa has been advised that nothing short of a hand to hand conflict in the federal trenches would Sdislodge them @s Because of the. bright moonlight General Villa did not attempt to at tack last night, as his men were tired from their march across the desert and he prefers to have every advan- tage on his side before starting the attack which is believed to be the decisive fight in the north. He has stationed machine guns and an artil- lery piece at the La Mula pass to pre- vent General Argumendo or other fed eral commanders from hanking him.
 The federa1s have been advised by the War Office in Mexico City thai General Argurnendo now is on the way from Janninez with five thousand men, and the federa1s are hoping bhat he will reach Ojinaga. by way Of the Conchos before General Villa makes his decisive assault. 4The rebel commands which had beer

OUTDONE
 BY LOVE TRAGEDY
sinnott Suicide For Actor Love
 EcIipses Hove Slave, Case.

Last Monday the suicide in New York city of Lillian s5innott a young actress, who killed herself a few hours before the time set for the fu- neral of an English actor named Ken yon, who was to have married her after obtaining a divorce from his wife, revealed another domestic tri- angle, in which a young girls love for 8 married man many years her senior, became the expressing passion of her life.
 Although differing absolutely from the recent Couch Branch afrair at Monticello, N. r. Miss Sinnottss rela- fions with MT Kenyon not being as- sailed by the slightest Ipreath sof scan daI. it recalls 'rThe Love Slave case in one particular: the conduct of the wife.
 All of the published reports from Monticel1o4 dweIts upon the forgiving epirit exhibited by the wife of the lawyer toward her rival when the elder woman learned the true c11arac- ter of Miss Branch and the depth of her devotion to Melvin Couch Such an attitude toward the woman who had suPpIanted her in the affectfon of her husband, was held to be one of the remarkable features of the case, but ir the sinnott-Kenyon affair an other surprising example of a Wife's charity for her younger rival is shown.
 Kenyon. who was stricken with ap- oplexy at the Lambs club last Thurs day night, died at Miss AIston'e san iatrium on saturday morning, and
 v as buried from the Little Church Around the Corner last Monday. From the time he was stricken until he died. Miss Sinnott remained constantly at his bedside and was there when Mrs Kenyon arrived.
 The elder woman. after learning who Miss Sinnott was and realizing the sincerity of her regard for MT. Kenyon, felt only pity for the young girl, and together the women minis tered to the needs of the dying man. The physician who attended the case and was present when Mrs Kenycn and Miss Sinnott met, declares tl1at [ not one harsh word or look passed between them
 The playwright and the novelist are often blamed for overdrawing the plots of their dramas and novels, but in the one act play founded on The Love Slave now at Polls theatre, and the conduct of the wife of the dead actor are to be found additional proof that truth is stranger than ac- ton. lMLA!MM
