attractive Of the younger girls of New
Orleans. which was in those days n Of
the gayest cities. if not the gayest, ID
the United States. Being a city OF tho
French. it contained a number Of emf
igres Of the revolution whereby the
Bourbon kings lost the throne. and
they were Of the nOblesse, some of
them having the right to titles that
they did not use. New Orleans social
ly was delightful, but more foreign
than any other American city.
Edwin Wentworth. Il young north
erner from the state of Maryland, went
to the Crescent City to spend a winter,
attracted thithcr by the reports of the
unique social life. Having letters to
the best people, he was invited ev-
erywhere. He met Mile. GARNER. and
a love affair ensued. 1t was arranged
that when the spring came on they
should be married and both go north
to the groom's home.
In those days there was frequent in
tercourse between New Orleans and
France. While desirable persons came
out to the new world to make homes
for themselves, occasionally II would
come whose absence would have been
preferable. Among these was Antoine
lie Voisier, a duelist who had killed
so many opponents that he had ac-
quired the sobriquet Of the White
Death.
One evening at a cafe young Went
worth saw him, csked who he was and
on being told remarked in a voice loud
enough for lie Voisier to hear that the
authorities of Louisiana should ship
the fellow back to France. The result
was a challenge. If Wentworth had
come from Massachusetts or any north
ern state he might have declined it.
But, hailing from a border state, In
which dueling had not entirely died
out. he felt compelled to fight. He
was rash to have made the remark in
the White Deaths hearing and rash
to go on the field with one who had
fought twenty duels and killed ten
men. Wentworth was entirely unskill.
ed in the use of weapons, and there
was no time to learn how to use them
The result was that he went out tC

tragedy that for awhile her life seem

in a few months her place there seemed
to have been filled and she forgotten.

that nothing could even temporarily
Obliterate the peoples desire for

in a large hall. and. although it was

The contrast within and without the
hall was a fearful one Within was a
dance of life, without Il dance of death.
But the death from without broke in
among the m~errymakers. A figure ell
tered the hall dressed in white flowing
robes, the mask as white as chalk. with
great hollow eyes, a grinning mouth
! and rotten teeth. 1t advanced to one
wearing a Louis XIV. costume and
stood staring at him. The merriment

two figures. The Louis Nv. figure
took off his mask and displayed the
features of lie Voisier.

He struck lie Voisier with the back
Of his hand, drawing a drop Of blood,
which seemed to come from a ring he
wore on his finger. lie Voisier paid
no attention to the blow other than tc

A HISTORIC TRIANGLE.
Famous BattIefieIds Of the Plains Of
Hesbaye, In Belgium.


Describing the road from Brussels
to Liege. %,hich skirts the plains o.
Hesbaye, Baedeker quotes the old pro-
verb, "Qui passe dams lie Hesbains est
cOmbattu ;endemain"-'1e who enters
the Hesbaye is defeated the next day"
Such was the reputation Of the Hes
bains for strength and bravery.
The ancient province Of Hesbaye is
indicated on the maps rs a triangle,
some fifty miles from it's base to its
apex, Liege. The river Meuse, from
Namur to Lieye, forms its southern
side: the railways from Liege through
Tirlemont and Louvain to Brussels Its
northern side. \ line from Nalnur
north to Brussels is its base.
This triangle contains many famous
battletields. Besides Waterloo, there
is Neerwinden, where Marshal Luxem-
burg defeated the allies under William
II. of England in 1893 and where q
century later the Austrians, under the
Prince Of Coburg. uncle of the late
King Leopold of Belgium. defeated
the French. led by Dumouriez and
Louis Philippe.

MARKET GARDENING.

The value of rye as a green manurial
crop is undereStimated. This crop Is
especially valuable for soils which are
somewhat lacking in fertility, but it is
also highly desirable for even the best
soils.
Celery growers should not lose sight
Of the fact hat it is impossible to
blanch green varieties in any kind Of
storage unless suitable conditions are
provided. The most important cOndi-
tons are a suitable amount of moisture
both for the roots and the tops and not
too low temperatures. Celery will not
stand hard freezing, whether in the
field or in storage, and plants will fail
to blanch in storage if there is q tenn
perature very neal the freezing point.
In other words. the plants must grow
in order to make new roots and blanch,
and the growth must occur in partial
darkness.
Rats and field mice often cause great
damage to plants in hOtbeds and cold
frames. In order to avoid unnecessary
trouble from these pests it is important
to clear the frames of weeds and rub
bish in the autumn before snow falls.
Later in the fall the poultry Of the
farm may be inclosed in yards and
poisoned wheat or corn used to advan-
tage in and around the frames. Rats
are particularly troublesome in frames
because they not only eat the plants.

SOCIETY OF ST. JEROME
POPE BENEDICT WAS ITS FIRST
PRESIDENT-FoUN IN 1902
TO SPREAD THE READING OF
THE BIBLE AMONG THE PEOPLE.

In connection with the letter which
His Holiness Pope Benedict XIV sent
to Cardinal Cassetta, President of the
Society of st. Jerome for the Spread
ing of the Holy Gospels, and in which
he highly praised it's work, it is inter-
esting to note that he was it's first
president.
The Pious Society of st. Jerome for
the spreading of the Holy Gospels was
founded in Rome in 1902, and it's first
President was Mgr. Della Chiesa, then
Sostituto at the Secretariate of State.
The first Protector was Cardinal Mo-
cenni, after his death Cardinal Cas-
setta. The meetings used to be held
monthly in the Vatican in Mgr. Della
Chiesa's apartments. In November,
1903, the Holy Father, Plus x, received
the Society in audience, praised and
blessed their work, saying, among
other things, that the argument that
country people could not understand
the holy books was not true. He had
lived his life among them and knew
them. They, just as well as others
reputed more intelligent, could draw
all spiritual profit from frequent read
ing of the Gospels, "the book which
serves for all and for everything" and
for that reason the work of the Society
in spreading it far and wide among the
people was good and holy work. The
Society languished after it's President
was nominated Archbishop of Bologna
and left Rome, but when Archbishop
Della Chiesa came to Rome in May
last to receive the Cardinalitial Hat,
he called the members together and
urged them to continue the work. The
letter which he sent them put new
energy into the members.

| CATHOLIC VICTORY
QUESTION OF BIBLE READING IN
PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF NEW ZEA-
LAND DROPPED ADVOCATED
BY ANTLcATHoLIc BIGoTs.

The bill for a referendum on the
Bible in State schools question in
New Zealand has been dropped
largely through the efforts of Right
Reverend Bishop Cleary of Auckland
and Catholics are thus relieved, for
the time being, at least, of an act of
grave Injustice. The agitation has
been on for some time, and it's tenn
porary ending will also be great re-
lief.
In resisting this measure the Cath
olics of New Zealand, like those Of
Victoria, Australia, were able to rely
on the hearty cooperation of all
broad-minded people, including a
very large section of members of the
Anglican Church. Their opponents
comprise mostly members of the
Orange fraternity, who desire to en-
courage feelings of hatred of the
Catholic community, and make the
latter pay their quota for religious
teaching in State schools contrary to
their own faith.

MINIMUM WAGE PROBLEMS

all girls may reasonably be required
to live two in room. More than six
hundred boarding and rooming houses
in st. Paul and Minneapolis were vis-
tied and carefully examined by agents
of the commission. OF these, some
nineteen or twenty offered room and
board for 81 per week or less. Only
minority of them, however, were
reported to the commission as "satis-
factory"
In the discussion of this subject by
the subcommittee of the mercantile
board, the two employer-members con-
tended that the requirements Of the
minimum wage law would be observed
if the advisory board should recon.
mend 81 per week as the minimum
cost of food and lodging. The investi-
cations, they pointed out, showed that
this element in the cost of living
could be obtained for this weekly ex-
penditure. Other members of the SUBJ
committee insisted that the purpose
of the law would not be attained un-
less the allowance for board and lodg-
ing we're placed at figure which
would enable the whole number of
working girls who lived away from
home to obtain decent accommoda-
tions. 1t was certain that the total
number of places offering suitable
board and lodging at 81 week would
accommodate only a small fraction of
the working girls "adrift" in the Twin
Cities.
