RUNAWAY IMPERILS
 LEADING MUTUAL ACTOR
Walthall in Danger of Death Making
 "The Clansman" Scene for Movies

Henry Walthall and Fred Burns, as commanders of the Ku Klux Klan in the filming of "The Clansman," by D. w. Griffith, put on most exciting chase scene near Whittier Cal, last week, when the horse Mir. Walthall was riding ran away. Because of Mir. Walthall's weak condition-he had been out of the hospital for only a week following a serious illness-the popular Mutual actor could not con- trol the charger.
 Director Griffith and Cameraman G. w. Bitzer were ahead in an automo- bile, and the machine registered a speed of thirty three miles per hour for fully mile. Fred Burns, former ly cowboy with Buffalo Bills Wild

LITTLE ROCK WATER COM
 PANY STILL HAS TROUBLE
Patrons Want Them to Settle Bills for Spring Water Used While City Water Was Totally Unfit for
 Use. Company is Silent.

The troubles of manager of the Little Rock water company are not few. For months the company has been having trouble with the brand of water supplied to the consumers, and has had to fight court proceedings instituted by the city to retain it's franchise. It further had to agree to make many immediate improvements to get pure water for the consumers.
 In it's franchise the water company guaranteed to supply "pure and whole some water for domestic purposes" but on many occasions the water was so impure that the city physician and chemists advised against it's use. This made business fourishing with the concerns that sold spring water to the people. Now comes the final in ningS for the water man. The con- sumers are sending to the company the bills they receive from the spring water companies for water while the city supply was bad, and demanding that the company make good it's guar antee. The consumers state the com pany did not supply them with the water, so they took the liberty of pur- chasing it and sending in the bills.
 The company has not yet made it's reply, but it has received several hun dred of these bills during the current month, and as the word is passing along, will no doubt receive thousands before the end of the next month.

There's a Reason.

Omaha Bee.
 Col. Roosevelt devoted his speech in New Orleans exclusively to Mississ- ippi River improvements. He said nothing about overweighted Southern representation in Progressive party national conventions, nor about the disfranchisement of the blacks by poll taxes and grandfather clauses. There's reason! The Progressives in Louisiana are trying to make themselves a hly-white party in flag rant defiance of the principle of no color discrimination, which the Colon el has been preaching all his life.

TRIBUTE TO FRENCH NUNS.

In the Homme Libre, of Paris, NJ
Clemenceau paid warm tribute to
French nuns. When he had to under
go serious operation two years ago
he selected q house of religious in
the Rue Bizet and while there drop
ped all his anti-clericalism. He was
taxed with this recently by the Eclair,
and his reply was that the place for
the operation was selected by the
doctor, but adding:
81 must say that I found there ex-
cellent women whose only fault was
that they treated me like spoiled
child And l take pleasure here in
testifying all my gratitude to Them.
From time to time l visit them for
the sheer pleasure of expressing re-
spectful friendship for them. We
have spoken very freely of everything
without even a suspicion of offense
arising, and perhaps on both sides
there has been a gain in the spirit of
tolerance and goodwill towards those
who hold opinions different from our
own. They have not changed; neither
have 1; but we have agreed that it
is not necessary to hate one another
on account of opposing views on the
inscrutable question Of human des-

RELIGION AND SCIENCE.

In the Nineteenth Century, of Lon
don, several years ago, w: H. Mallock,
the famous non-Catholic philosopher,
said by way of preface to a series OF
erudite articles:
81 shall endeavor to show that if
the Christian religion holds it's own at
all in the face of secular knowledge,
it is the Christian religion as en-
bodied in the Church of Rome, and
not in any form of Professionalism, that
will survive in the intellectual contest.
I shall endeavor to show also that the
outlines of the great apologize which
Rome as champion of revelation will
offer to the human intellect, instead
of being wrapped in mystery, are for
those who have eyes to see, day by
day becoming clearer and more COM
prehensive, and that all those forces
of science which it was once thought
would be fatal to her, are now in a
way, which constitutes one of the
great surprises of history, so grouping
themselves as to afford her new foun-
dation."

would be derogatory to her son.

ago: 'Mary of Nazareth is scarcely

gave birth to the Worlds Redeemer,
watched over His infancy, trained Him

her counsel and example, as well as
by that of Joseph, until He was thirty

CATHOLICS DEPENDENT ON
PROTESTANT MISSIONARIES
FOR HOSPITALS"

The Right Reverend Michael J.
O'Doherty, D. D., is the Bishop of one
of the largest and newest dioceses I'M
der the Stars and Stripes, district,
by the way, which cannot be said to
share the hardships of all the other
dioceses in the Islands, for the simple
reason that it surpasses them all in
hardships. The fourth curate of a
city mission has a perpetual vacation
compared to the life of Philippine
Bishop. The terrible struggle and the
difficulty of making both ends meet
wore out Bishop Carroll of Nueva
Segovia. But others are carrying the
burden of the episcopate. They are
to busy to die, and Bishop O'Doherty
with his vast territory, is one of them.
His diocese covers 10000 square miles,
and this is cut UP into 800 separate
islands, studded in the typhoon-swept
seas, situated in the southern part
OF the Philippines, among the Moros.
''My Catholics are generally poor"
said the Bishop, sand living as these
people have for three centuries, and
having had bloody encounters with the
Moros or Mohammedans, they have
been more interested in protecting
their lives than in amassing wealth.
We have only seventy priests to cover
an area Of 10000 square miles, and we
have some 100000 souls for these
priests to minister to. One can
easily see how far they reach for this
vast number of people. We cannot
take care OF our own people, not to
mention the pagans, although our
priests in their self-sacrifcing zeal,
are anxious to give up their parishes
and go into the mountains to convert
them, If I were but able to replace
them with other priests. But my do
cese is poverty itself. Why, we are
even dependent on the charity of Prot
estant missionaries for hospitals, and
it must be confessed that they are
most anxious to have Catholics go to

their institutions. And my people are
so very poor. Half of their children
die before they reach the age of five,
simply for want of nourishment and
care, although the land is fertile and
the climate excellent. Many of the
parishes in my diocese, and too, some
of them numbering from ten to fifteen
thousand souls, have been without
permanent priests since 1898, and it
is hardly to be wondered at when l
came here that l found some $4,000
Catholics sunk in the errors of Agli-
payanism. And this simply for want
of priests to instruct them"
cit is little to be wondered at" said
Father M. Nysters, NJ. c. S., a mis-
sionary who is laboring in Bishop
O'Doherty's diocese, and who is trying
to rebuild the faith of these people,
that the Aglipayan schism, founded
right after the revolution, with the
alluring title of the Philippine indie
pendent Catholic Church, made great
inroads in the hearts of many people
here. They had no one to instruct
them. and consequently they went
from Indifferent Catholicism to Agli-
payanism, from Aglipayanism to Prot
estantism, from Professionalism to ra-
tionalism and then to complete ignor-
ance and Indifference in religious mat
tiers, only, it must be stated that they
were not Indifferent in their hatred of
the Church. In the years of 1911 and
1913, the presidente of this hamlet and
others signed petition for the expul-
sion of the Sacred Heart Fathers
It is among these people that this
priest has undertaken the thankless
job of laboring. Still, he is enthusi-
astic about it. He is trying to rebuild
church and convent, partially de-
stroyed in the revolution, which he
says will cost him at least two thou
sand dollars. And he has written the
Catholic Church Extension Society for
help. Five hundred dollars from diff

Leaning from an open window, the

sunset flooded the sky, which was
clear of bluest blue, save for the
threatening black cloud that always
hovers over Mount Vesuvius. The

to gain aims.
After repeated efforts l caught sight
of him-a little boy of not more than
ten years, who looked much younger.
His trousers were ragged and reached
just below the knees. He seemed to

hands against the tree calling, Cara,

I glanced to see if the young girl
noticed him, but she had passed into

Our Lady of Lourdes Repays Conf

Tslng-yang is a mission center OF

Situated in the province of Kiang-

hal, Tsing-yang until 1902 was with

In June of that year a terrible
scourge afflicted the country. An
epidemic bearing every, resemblance
to the dread plague broke out in the
province, and Tsing-yang was not
spared a share of it.
In this hour of danger the sick and
frightened people fastened to the
shrine of Mary to ask her protection
Those too i'll to come themselves, sent

June until September the little sanctu,

who prayed with fervor.

Tsing-yang not a single person died
of the plague. Even more, until Au
gust of the following year not a single
death among the Christians occurred
from any cause. Had not Our Lady
of Lourdes justified the confidence
reposed in her by her children? The
Christians of Tsing-yang did not hest
tate to affirm this fact, and they tool
up a collection of money destined fol
the celebration of a Mass of thanks
giving.
From this time on numerous mir
acles were registered in the records
of the mission and Tsing-yang became
famous. In the month of November

EIIBBING YOUTH IS THE

H1BBING, MIMI, Nov. 25.-An
appeal to boys and girls of Hibbing
70 help supply toys for Christmas
gifts for their unfortunate little
brothers and sisters in the village, has
zen made by the board Of crarities
At the meeting yesterday afternoon
members of the board admitted that
they were up against it until finally
it was decided to let the children
come to the rescue.
The board urges each child in the
village who can possibly do it, to
save what money it can and purchase
some toy for some other child who is
not so fortunate. The board will also
accept presents of any kind, or
clothes, or anything which may be
the source of joy to even one child.
Names of the generous little givers
will be taken by the board, although
the only reward promised each big
hearted little boy or girl is the feel
ing that he or she has brought Joy
into the heart of someone, even if
they don't know definitely who it is.
Members of the board are sure shat
there will be hearty response by all
who can. Gifts should be given to
any board member for distribution.
