stantly, his body falling beside the
aged mother and youngster.
The bolt struck him on the head
while he was pushing wheelbarrow
and the electricity travelled down his
left side and caused blue flames and
sparks to emit from his shoes
Johns young son, who was close
to him at the time, did not feel the
effects of the lightning, and won-,
dered why his father had fallen
down so quickly. "See pop; he fell
down. said the youngster to his
grandmother, as his parent fell over
lifeless to the ground.
The aged woman grabbed the lad
by hand and ran into the house with
him. DR.. Arthur, OF Hamilton
Square, was summoned. When he
arrived he said that Johns had been
instantly killed. Coroner Bower

these asked:
What did those Fathers do to you
to work such a transformation? 1t is
said that they shut up their devotees
in a dark room and show them by
some magic all kinds of terrible mon
sters? Is it true?"
ooh, yes" answered the young man,
worse than that. They showed me

Fortunately for the Church in this
country and throughout the world, the
custom of making real Retreats, either
individually or in company with
others, is increasing rapidly. Every
diocese has it's annual Retreat for it's
clergy, and every religious community
is expected to make the Exercises for
at least a week every year. Many
houses have been opened, devoted ex-
clusively to Retreats for laymen, and
many communities of religious of va
rious orders, both of men and women,
now make provision for receiving lay
people and giving them the Exercises.
That this holy and salutary custom
may increase and become universal
must be our ardent prayer. No more
powerful means can be imagined for
renewing all things in Christ.

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
BIB. PAUL, JOHN AND JAMES, MN.

Taicosama, the Emperor of Japan,
suspecting that the Franciscan Fa-
theirs, who came to him as ambassa-
doris of Portugal, were preparing the
way for Portuguese conquest, ordered
them to be put to death. A happy
error made three Japanese of the So
ciety of Jesus sharers in their crown.
Paul Mkt, was thirty-three years old,
and though not yet a priest, was one
of the most successful preachers of
the Christian faith. John, youth of
nineteen, and James, an old man of
siXty-four, were cathechists and novice
lay-brothers in the Jesuit house at
Meaco With the other twenty-three
martyrs, their features were mutilated.
and they we're placed on carts, in a
moving pillory, and paraded through
the country. At last they were taken
to Nagasaki, where, on long-backed
hill over the city, twenty-six crosses
were reared; a dense crowd was gath
cred all around. On the way up John
and James took their VOWS of religion.
Johns father was awaiting him, but
only to encourage him to die. Then
he took his stand beneath his son, and
saw the double lance-thrust, which
dyed him with the blood of his child.
Paul preached from his cross to those
beneath him, and encouraged his fell
low martyrs with burning words. The
venerable old brother James rejected
the signs of honor he received from
the crowd, saying, 81 am but sinner"
With the words, Jesus and Mary" he
received his death stroke.
The Christians of Meaco, knowing
that the edict of the Emperor did not
include the Jesuits, tried in vain to
bride the officials to let the three 60.
Paul Mkt wrote at once to them, rs
that your way of showing your love to
me? What, did you wish to deprive
me of the immense favor which God
has given me? You ought instead to
rejoice, and to praise His infinite good
ness for it."

ST. JosEPH's MONTH.

The month of March, dear Saint, is
like our life,
For Winter loath to lay his sceptre
down.
His robe of ermine and his icy
crown,
Sends forth his messengers of storm
and strife,
Tempestuous days, as if his power to
show.
Then gentle Spring her herald
sends of peace,
A day all sun and sky when tenn
pests cease,
And violets bloom pale as the drifted
snow.
Like youths fair hopes these tender
flowers of spring,
In sunshine bright are chilled by
zephyr's wing.
Thy mission twas on earth to shield
from harm
The fairest Bud in Heavens diadem
And of that Bud the chosen, fitting
Stem;
Now over us extend Thy loving arm,
For in life's springtime oft the rude
winds blow
Across our pathway dim the
shifting sands,
AS once DER thine in Egypt S
desert lands.
When on the hearts best hopes falls
Winters snow
And from the path, o loving guide!
we roam,
Then take us by the hand and
lead us home

DUTY'S VICTORY

Twenty miles from the forest of
Fontainebleau, in one of the most
charming districts of France, lies the
village of Mermont, spot beloved by
artists, where Englishmen have from
time to time taken up their abode,
with palette, paints and brush.
Edward Conway was one of many
who had discovered Mermont's fas-
cinations. In his early twenties he
had settled there, and married clever
and accomplished FrenchWoman, to
whom he was devotedly attached.
Year by year his pictures would be
seen at the Paris Salon, and one of
his most successful was portrait of
his daughter Jeanne, a girl of more
than ordinary character and ability.
Jeanne Conway had been educated
in an Irish convent, and her nine
teenth year was spent with relations
in Dublin, where she made her debut
in society, enjoyed seasons gaiety,
and saw something of life in general,
before returning to the quietude of
her French home, which her parents
rarely left for any length of time.
One glorious day in June, Jeanne
sat busily sewing in the garden of
LA Retraite"; the picturesque name
by which her fathers house was
known. There were roses everywhere
climbing round the windows and
growing in great clusters with the
honeysuckle and lilies; bunch of the
beautiful bloom nestled at her throat.
In the distance could be seen the
church spire and the walls of the
rectory. Jeanne was an especial
favorite of M. le Cures. He had been
her guide and friend since her earliest
years, and though school-days had in
terrupted the course of their friend
ship, Pere Bardet never forget his
protegee in her convent school, and
it would be safe to say that Jeanne
would willingly have gone through
fire and water for the good priest
whom the whole of Mermont regarded
with a, revereut affection.
Jeanne's life was similar to that OF
most French girls. The day began
with assisting at Holy Mass, while the
morning brought it's round of house
hold duties. In the afternoon Madame
Conway and her daughter might visit
their friends, or engage themselves in
charitable work, while the evening
would be spent with music or singing
or in attending Vespers, should it be
a feast-day. An uneventful life, per
haps, but one in which the Conways
were perfectly happy.
AS Jeanne's skilfu1 fingers manipu
lated her needle, her thoughts went
dreamily back to the past year. Ye

good nuns in Erin, nor yet with hel

MISS CHARLOTTE o'BRlEN.

MISS CHARLOTTE o'BRlEN.
It is a matter of interest to the
Catholics of the Archdiocese of St.
Paul that Miss Charlotte O'Brien, the
aunt of Miss Nellie O'Brien, during
her work for lettering the wretched
conditions under which the Irish emf
grants travelled to the United States
as steerage passengers 80 years ago
came to St. Paul to ask Archbishop
Ireland to assist her in her great
work. Needless to say the Archbishop
gave her every possible assistance.
While in St. Paul she stayed at st.
Joseph's Academy. 1t was during this
visit that the inestimable gift of the
Catholic faith was vouchsafed her by
Providence. On her return to Ireland
she had the happiness of bringing
many of her relatives into the church.
Her life has been sympathetically
written in all it's interesting details
by Mr.. Gym, M. P, who has drawn
q beautiful portrait of a noble Irish
woman, distinguished as the daughter
of the patriot, Smith O'Brien, and
therefore the lineal descendant OF
ancient Irish kings.
