The BOND OF FAITH
A STRIKING INSTANCE CONCERN.
ING THE scAPULAR BY GEN.
ERAL PRESCOTT.

At a recent meeting of the Young
Mems Catholic Institute in San Fran
cisco, Generals Prescott and Barry of
the United States army, were present
by invitation, and in the course of an
eloquent speech General Prescott, who
is not a Catholic, related this incident
concerning the scapular:
Since 1901 there has been with me
the memory of scene on the island of
Samar, which is peculiarly interesting
to you members of the Young Mems
Institute. We had stormed and taken
the provincial capital of Catbalogan.
Thirty or forty cannon were captured
and the insurrectos driven into the
mountains. The next day a company
was ordered to pursue them up the
river, Wading through the water to the
shoulders, thence along the precipice
of rocks, hanging on by the roots OF
Jungle trees until the word came back
from the point that the enemy was
found. The men fixed bay0nets, the
officers cooked their reyolvers and the
troops rushed pell nell into a clearing
expecting to charge a foe armed with
Mauser rifles.
Instead, found myself in the pres
ence of a pitiful spectacle. A LONG
line of women and children with aefev
old men were on their knees, theil
hands upIifted in an agony of sup
lplication and begging for mercy
There were only two or three of u
who spoke Spanish. and it seemed q.
though none Of the frightened people
spoke other than their native tongue

remember distinctly one beautiful
young woman kneeling right before
me, her hair streaming down her Shout
ders, almost insane in her paroxysm of
fright.
1--WE endeavored to calm the tumult..
We assured them in Spanish that
American soldiers did not harm
women and children. And we de-
manded, ourselves considerably excit-
ed, the whereabouts of the insurrec-
tos. / endeavored to relieve their
fear, but without avail, and it seemed
as though the girl would go crazy.
Suddenly, and as though by some
singular magic, the kneeling throng
grew quiet and looked from one to the
other. as they passed along some word
in the Visayan tongue. Taken by sur
prise, | looked from one side to the
other. One of our men in answer to
my question said:
1.-THE Catholic soldiers have opened
their shirt fronts and shown their
|scapulars.'
"The people arose from their knees
and venerable old man was brought
to me who spoke perfect Spanish.
asked him what his people were doing
running into the mountains in such an
unnecessary way. He replied that
they had been told the Americans
would butcher them. / said, Well,
you see we did not He answered,
Yes, and it SENS as though some of
the Americans are good Catholics.
"The result was that all the women
and children and the old men returned
TO their home city. The services in
the church were resumed and never
have been Interrupted from that day
to this.
Il do not believe that any one will
object that in every American of the
future, as in the past, there will be
soldiers owing a special duty of kind
ness and consideration to the, weak
and helpless and carrying upon their
bodies the sacred pledge of that duty.

While the learned monk of Brescia
lamented the want of means for the
construction of his machine, he ex-
pected that God would not allow such
a weapon to fall into our hands $50
as to impede many consequences that
would perturb the civil and political
activities of men,"
Because" added the far-seeing
monk, who does not see that no city
could feel safe from surprises, for the
ship could come over the squares every
hour, and, coming near the earth, al
low the people to descend?
And even without descending, by
means of lions which could be flung
from the ship, they could destroy YES
sells, kill men and burn ships with
balls and bombs. And not only ships,
but houses, castles and cities; while
those who threw them from unmeas-
ured heights could feel certain of get
ting away in safety"

AERIAL NAVIGATION.

Students OF aerostatics enthusiastic
ally laud the services which the air
fleets are able to render their armies
in this war. But how many OF them
give credit to the primary ideator of
aerial navigation on scientific princi-
pies, Francis Lana, the learned monk
of the seventeenth century.
Verify, science has not moved very
far, after all. Friar Lana knew nearly
as much about aeropIanes as do the
air men of the European and Ameri
can armies. Lack of means prevented
him from giving to the world an air

Avon: The interior of the Church
of st. Benedict has been re-papered,
and the affairs and communion railing
have received new coat of paint.
The general appearance of the church
has thereby been improved to a con-
siderable extent. Rev. Leonard Kaps-
ner, o. S. B., pastor of the parish, con-
sidered it useless to invest too much
in Improvements for the present, since
the church is becoming too small to
accommodate the congregation, and a
new church will have to be erected
within few years.

Near Wenatchee Lake Last Saturday

A. M. Yost and wife, and his SOD,
D. M. Yost and wife, Of Edmunds,
WASH, arrived here on Wednesday ol
last week, by way of the Snoqualmie
highway and the Blewett pass, and af-
ter stopping a short time and making
some minor purchases, left for Lake
Wenatchee where they spent Thursday
and Friday. On Saturday morning
they started back to Leavenworth.
About one and half miles below the
lake something went wrong with one
Of the tires and Mr.. Yost got out to
fix it. After the repairs were made
he. got back in the machine and his
son noticed that his father did not
start the machine. On examination
he found that he was unconscious.
With the assistance of his wife and
mother they lifted the old gentleman
out and laid him on a blanket. His
son, D. M. Yost did not know how to
run the machine and waited for some
one. Geo. Shugart came along in his
car a short time later and they brought
Mr.. Yost to Leavenworth for medical aid,
arriving here about nine o'clock. He
was taken to the hospital and DR..
Hoxsey pronounced his affliction
cerebrel hemorrhage, and stated that
he did not think he would live over
70 hours. He died Monday afternoon
without ever having regained conscious
ness and the body was prepared fos
shipment to Edmonds by the Leaven-
worth Undertaking Co. Mr.. Yost was
SO years Of age. His son is manager
OF the Edmonds electric light plant.
Mr.. Yost, says the Everett Herald
of Wednesday, is one of the wealthiest

holder there. Always has he been
prominent in the affairs OF that COM
munity, and he is widely known thru

.WfNATCHfE APPLE
CROP NOW LINED UP
tonnage Approximately 5000 Cars, One
fourth Of Which will be Sold
for Cash

The apple crop OF the Wenatchee
district is now almost entirely lined up
for market. Fighty-ive per cent is
the estimate OF one fruit man who is in
close touch with the situation. The
greater part of the unsigned tonnage is
in the hail-affected districts. The
tonnage in other sections has been
sold for cash or placed as whole thru
a unit OF the growers league or signed
directly with the selling agencies. In
a number of instances growers have re-
served the right, when signing with
the agencies, to sell for cash on a
bona-fde offer. Prospects are that al
most one-fourth OF the entire tonnage
will be sold for cash. According to
estimates the tonnage will be sold for
cash. According to estimates the ton
mage will vary between 1000 and 5000
cars. Approximately $50 cars are now
under contract to cash buyers. 1t is
estimated that at least 200 more cars
will be picked up.

DR.. McKfOWN'S CAR OVER
GRADE ON SUNSET HIGHWAY
Accompanied by Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur
Blown, Who Were Quite Ser
iousIy Injured

DR.. A. G.. McKeown left here last
Wednesday morning at four O'Clock for
Belliugham to attend the Elk's meet
ing, going by way Of Seattle, and had
for companions his father-in-law, Mr..
C. Grue, OF Bellingham, and City
Clerk Brown and wife and little girl.
Everything went all right and the par
ty were in high spirits until they
reached point at the west end ol
Lake Ketchelus, near the summit ol
the Cascades, when the car suddenly
swerved and went off the grade, some
thirty feet high at this point. The oc-
cupants were thrown out or fell out as
the car turned over, and when they
reached the bottom Mrs. Brown was
unconscious and remained so for over
an hour. Mr.. Browns ankle was Sc
verely wrenched and his wrist sprained.
The little girl was unhurt and the Doc
tor and Mr.. Grue escaped Injury. An
other auto happened along soon and
took Mrs. Brown to a hospital near a
power house under construction on
Ketchelus lake. She soon revived tho
she suffered much pain from an injury
to her back. Mr.. and Mrs. Brown
we're taken to a station on the Milwau-
kee-road and reached home yesterday
morning at 4 o'clock. From the best
information obtainable the accident was
caused by the car striking place in
the road that had recently been filled
with fresh gravel and the jar jerked
the steering wheel out Of the doctors
hand with the result that the cal
swerved and went over. The car was
not materially damaged. Mr.. Brown
is expected to be out in few days but
the extent OF Mrs. Browns injuries are
not so fully known.
