Three-Minute
Journey

A FEW miles from the city Of
~ Quebec. Canada. at the
u mouth Of st. Anne river, Is
the village Of Beaupre. the
the most noted feature Of which
is the parish church OF Sainte
Anre de Beaupre. the miracle
church" This church has been
called the 'Lourdes Of Canada"
because Of the thousands and
thousands OF Roman Catholics who
make the pilgrimage to the shrine
every year in the hope OF being
cured by, the efficacy Of the holy
relics OF st. Anne. which are pre-
served there.
A vast pyramid of. .crutches,
sticks and canes has been left be-
hind by happy and devout be-
levers, whose faith in the efficacy
Of the cure is said to. have wrought
many seemingly miraculous heal
ings. innumernble claims are
made of these wonderful cures Of
the halt and tho manned. Nom
believers in modern miracles talk
OF faith cures, OF religious ecstacy,
on, sclf-hypnotism. but believers
are certain Of two things-frst,
that the sick came lame and halt
and their pains and iameness
cure was wrought by the holy St.
Anne.
The fame Of st. Anne de Beaupre
is not confined to Canada alone.
Large numbers Of Catholics from
the States visit the shrine annual
ly. and at certain seasons OF the
year excursions are run from vari-
GUS points. carrying hundreds( not
only of the lame, the halt. and the
blind. but those not afficted-true
believers who desire to make the
pilgrimage for the sake Of visiting
the shrine. In New England to
which thousands of men and
women of Canadian French ex-
traction have been drawn by the
textile industries and the cheap
ness OF abandoned farms, a yearly
visit to Quebec and including
side pilgrimage TO the shrine OF
the good st. Anne. is one Of the re-
wards Of thrift and industry
toward which young and old look
forward.

SQUARE DEAL MAYOR.-Talking
about mayors, Dallas, the principal
city of Texas, has one it will do well
to keep your eye on. Mayor Lindsey
is wealthy man. He is abandoning
a profession and sacrificing several
thousand dollars per annum to serve
Dallas. But what he is doing down
there for the people of Dallas has al
ready set Texas to thinking. He is
being mentioned as the next governor
of Texas and he hasn't been in pub
lie life six months yet.
His platform is "a square deal" and
he means it, just as Tom Johnson did

Lindsley's latest "stunt" was the
giving of picnic, at his own expense,
to the children of Dallas. Five hun
