caused something of d sensation A year later he was ordained d priest in Rome and since that time his entire life has been devoted to the spread of Catholicism In 1911, after he had attained considerable fame by controversial writings and works on psychical research, he was appointed private chamberlain to Pope Plus x. At the outbreak of the war Monsignor Henson applauded the stand taken by England, and said that it was impossible to imagine any Catholic in the world who, knowing the truth, would doubt which forces were on the right side. He pre- dicted that Italy would enter the war on the side of the allies and that if the allies were beaten, America would be forced in sheer self-defense to join the war against Germany.
 Father Benson was one of the few re- maining men of high intelligence and education who believed in the old fashioned ghost. He electrified a fashionable New York audience at one of his lectures last spring in that city by declaring his unqualified belief in appar.tions, although he himself had never witnessed one. After his re- turn to England we heard of him in the news dispatches as Investigating various alleged haunted houses.
 THE STRANGE WOMAN"
 By Sidney Mccall Adapted from William. J. Hulburt's 'Play" of the same name. Dodd, Mead & Co.,, Publishers, New
 York
 Sidney Mccall has done a remarkably fine piece of novelzng in "The Strange Woman' adapted as it is from the Play" of the same name by William J. Hulburt.
 The story is quite attractively told. In q little mid-western town there returns after some years abroad as a student. the towns most promising young man. He brings with him his future wife, a woman who is young, beautiful. witty and talented, but who from the point of view of the townspeople is an enigma-a mys- tery, unintelhgible, in other words strange.
 To this lovely exoctic creature the townspeople are equally stange.
 There are inevitable misundcrstandings which lead to suspicious and grow eventu- ally into heart burnings and dsikes, and when it becomes known that ''The Strange Woman is a 'NeW Woman,
 in the fullest, freest and most modern sense of the word, there is climax which not only threatens the peace of the town, but the peace of the promising young man and his fiancee as we'll

OF INTEREST TO. SHIPPERS.
Important Interstate Commerce Hear
Ing &c" Be Held.

Important Interstate Commerce Hear
Ing to- Be Held.
Portland, Ore, June 12.-Unusual
public interest is centered in the in
terstate commerce commission hear
ing to be held in San Francisco June
%, to determine whether or not the
operation of the Great Northern Pa
cific Steamship company between
Portland, Flavel-Astoria and San
Francisco is in violation of the inter
state commerce law which prohibits
railroad corporations from owning and
controlling stock in competitive steam
ship lines. Shippers of the Northwest
are interested in the outcome for the
reason that the service afforded by
the Great Northern Pacific Steamship
company between these points is in
the nature Of direct competition with
the Southern Pacific railway, which
heretofore has had virtual monopoly
of the freight-carrying business be-
tween Portland and San Francisco.
The contention of the Pacific coast
shippers is that the law under which
investigation Is being made was Gre
ated for the express purpose of pre-
venting railway companies from buy
ing competitive steamships for the
purpose of eliminating competition,
and that an adverse ruling in the case
of the Great Northern Pacific Steam
ship company would result in de-
priving the shippers and travellers OF
Portland, Seattle, Spokane and other
Washington, Montana, Minnesota,
North Dakota and California points
of the additional service which the
two passenger-express boats of the
line have furnished them.

SAVE WILLIAM PENN'S CHAIRS
National HeirIooms, About to Fall
Apart, Have Been Repaired
by Blind Women.

Two, quaint and graceful chairs that
once belonged to William Penn have
just been repaired by two women VINO
have never seen the chairs, says the
Philadelphia Ledger. The two women
are inmates of the Pennsylvania In
dustrial Home for Blind Women. The
chairs are preserved in the east room
Of independence hall, on the second
floor. Year by year the cane bottoms
Of the famous old relics have been
gradually cracking and falling out.
The committee in charge decided that
unless the cane was replaced the
woodwork might soon collapse. But
they did not dare to let the chairs
be taken out of Congress hall.
So they sent for Miss Ira Frost, mis-
tress of handicraft at the Industrial
Home for Blind Women, and she
brought with her to the room two of
the blind women who understood chair
repairing. The work was peculiarly
difficult, for it was impossible to erect
in Congress hall the Gaming table need
ed to hold the chairs firmly in place,
and, moreover, their woodwork was
soft with age. But the deft seeing
fingers" of the bling women did the
work in spite of all the difficulties, and
now the precious William Penn chairs
are safe.

BILL VETOED

CHAIRMAN BARNETT ANNOUNCES
THAT HE WILL RECOMMEND
PASSAGE OVER VETO.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington.-Presi Wilson We
toed the immigration bill Thursday be
cause OF the lteracy test for admis-
sion OF aliens. His message was re-
ceiyed In the House and referred to
the immigration committee, whose
chairman, Representative Burnett, will
move that the measure be passed over
the executive veto.
Much informal discussion among
members OF the House followed the re-
ception of the veto, and while advo-
Gates of the bill expressed confidence,
other members asserted that the re-
quired two-thirds majority to force the
measure into law over the head OF the
chief executive could not be procured.
Three times has an immigration bill
containing a restrictive test been
vetoed. first by President Cleveland.
next by President Taft and now by
President Wilson. Twice Congress
failed to override the presidential dis
approval and House managers were
nsistent that the veto should not be
considered until there had been time
tor reflection.
The President in his message frank
iy told the House. which originated the
bill, that he had no pride of opinion
on the question and was not foolish
enough to profess to know the wishes
and ideals OF America better than the
body of her chosen representatives
know them"
If the people OF this country have
made up their minds to limit the num-
Der of immigrants by arbitrary tests
and SO reverse the policy of all the
gone before them, it is their right to
Go so,' he said. Il am their servant

way. But do not believe they have"
When the message was read in the
House the attention given was marked.
Upon its conclusion there was ap-
plause from both sides of the chamber.
Similar applause followed a statement
by Representative Burnett that. at the
proper time. he would move for a re-
consideration Of the vote by which the
bill passed and that the measure be
passed over the Presidents veto.

folks stories his own. Good stories highly
priced by him that he stored them away in his
memory with jealous care, and used them the
occasion presented itself. AS he himself said
Il believe that genuine humor is plaster that
heals many wound, ] remember good story
when hear it, but never invent anything orig
inal. | am only retail dealer, pinch OF mental
snuff"
When his friends complimented him the
he looked or something he had done he loved to
laugh 1t away with joke. to show that he appre
ciated their friendship and still that he refused
be spoiled by fattery. The following is story
in point. One day friend shook hands with him
and said Mr.. President, II is some time since
| saw you in Illinois" Yes, came the joval
swer. II am about the same as the old horse who
was put In pasture to Craze. neighbor seeing
the horse after she had been there time,
said Well. you put this horse in here to recuper
ate. but she looks about the same as when
you first put her in. She neither recupes nor de
cupes' That's just about the way 1t is with me
Two qualities kept him the same unassumins
man after he made president of the United
States that he when he began TO make a ca
reer for himself. One was his sense of humor,
which never allowed him to become self-conscious
and the other his wonderful faith in God and in
his fellow men. His friends hesitated to ap
proach him to ask him favor nor tell him funny
story. friend says: "One day on board ship
showed him in Harper's Weekly funny little
rhyme which was amusing that the presiden.
sat down and sprawled himself the deck and
said: Lend me your penknife. handed him
the knife and he cut the piece from the paper
saying: Not very dgnified position for the presi-
dent Of the United States but emnently comfort
able for that purpose"
Music another of his favorite recreations
He loved to hear the boys sing their songs in
camp. He loved homely ballads and simple dit
ties. The greatest favor friend soldier could
show him to sing simple tunes. AS one friend
admits: often have seen him in tears while
was rendering In my poor way a homely mel
ody."
He found great delight in the laughter and
pranks of children. He allowed his own boys
great freedom in the White House. He often let
their misdemeanors go unpublished because every.
thing about children gave him recreation and
pleasure. The keeper in the White House tells
this story showing his love for children: 1--WE
were walking over TO the department Just
as we got to the door a nurse holding infant
and having another at her side got in our way
took hold Of the little tot gently and put her to
one side SO the president could pass
That's all right. that's all right the president
said, as though he was displeased that i had dis
turbed the child" -
