DENMARK.

The official press bureau has issued
two stories of Queen Alexandra, moth
er az King George and Aunt OF King
Christian of Denmark. One tells OF
her fearlessness of Zeppelins and the
other shows her interest in the COM
fort of soldiers invaded home from
the battle front I'm France. The first
story reads: Queen Alexandra has
very quietly shown the women of Eng
land that she. at least, has no fear of
the Zeppelin terror. Her majesty has
been overwors1ng lately In her duties
as patron of the British Red Cross
society and visitor at countless MILF
tary hospitals. and her doctors advised
a short rest and complete change.
Queen Alexandra has lived In London
almost continually since the beginning
of the war. Her majesty at once
decided TO go to Sandrlngham. which
Is in Norfolk. one Of the counties most
likely to be raided by Zeppelins. and
by doing so she has quietly shown an
example of womanly courage and in
difference which has evoked the warm
est admiration. Queen Alexandra was
fully occupied with her hospital visit
ing until she left London, and on the
last day of her rounds she did char
acteristically thoughtful act Talking
with man who had reached the hos
pital only few hours before her
visit, she learned that he could not

head to one of them and said: I've
only one copy of that book. but I'll
send you something else And the
next day little rest pillows and walk
ing sticks and cigarettes arrived
enough for every wounded man I'm the
hospital" The other story, which is
issued under the caption. Royal
Thought for Heroes" is as follows:
Queen Alexandra shares with Queen
Mary the work of encouraging all
manner of women's movements for the
relief of wounded soldiers and other
suffering because of the war and
whenever she has spare hour she
drives to one of the great London hes
pitfalls and goes quietly about among
the soldiers, doing her best I'm count

July she called unexpectedly at the

Of these she talked, and noticing that
he was suffering from the heat she
said You really must not lie with
the sun pouring down on your head so

her parasol and finished her tour Of
the courtyard and the hospital wards

speak to the queen. She thoughtfully
wiped the sweat from his brow with

New York, Oct. 18.-No recent po- litical event has emphasized more pointedly the extraordinary trend to President Wilson of Progressive and Independent voters than the present speaking tour in the east of John M. Parker, Progressive nominee for vice. president, which has developed into an open and vigorous campaign in ad- vocacy of the Presidents reelection.
 Candidate Parker began his cam paign by merely condemning the be- trayal of the Progressive party at Chi cago and attacking MT. Hughes can didacy, but he is now speaking pri- marily for the election of President Wilson.
 His present tour which began at Poughkeepsie and Schenectady today, is conducted under the auspices of the Wilson Progressive Campaign Com mittee. Tomorrow he will speak at Hartford, Conn.,, andi on Wednesday he will address large body of Massa- chusetts Progressives at Boston. He will return to Connecticut on Thurs day, speaking in New Haven in the evening.
 Arrangements are now being per- lyn on Friday.
 The large audiences which have al- ready heard MT. Parkers speeches have consisted almost entirely of Pro- gressives and Independents, who have heartily responded to his strong plea for President Wilson's reelection.

Kent, Ind, 72 years ago to-day. Dr. Wiley was known in Washington as '"The Man Who Knows Everything" and, while this may have been a slight exaggera- tion, it is certainly true that the good old Doctor has expressed opinions on a wide variety of topics. His Wiley isms'' are always packed with sound common sense.

which is annually visited by thous- ands of pilgrims. It is highly prob able that the fame of this sacred spot will spread far and wide during the next few years, and attract a multi tude of visitors.
 The statement made in some news papers that Father Jogues will be- come the first American saint is without foundation. Besides St. Rose of Lima, St. Turribius of Lima and St. Francis Solano, tn South Ameri- can saints, one native North Amrican, St. Phili of Jesus, a native of the City of Mexico, has been canonized by Rome. His feast is celebrated in Mexico and by the Mexicans of Cali fornia and the southwest on the fifth of February.
 The movement for the beatifica- ton of Father Jogues was initiated in 1903, when documents and other evidence were laid before a tribunal in Quebec which twas headed by the present Cardinal Begin. A number of Canadian and American clergymen who had made special study of Father Isaac's career were witnesses The evidence was deemed authentic by the tribunal, and was sent to Rome, where. after all the opposition that the devils advocate" could bring forth was considered and dismissed, the cause was placed before the Con- gregation of Rites. The process of Justification and canonization is slow. and all evidence is long and careful ly considered, but in the end it is practically certain that Father Jogues will take his place, on the long list of the Roman martyrology.
 Isaac Jogues was born at Orleans. France, in 1907, and became Jesuit novitiate at the age of IT. He came to America as a missionary in 1886. Arrived at Quebec, the youthful French priest was almost immediate ly dispatched to an Indian settlement on Lake Huron. In a canoe with a few Hurons he set out on the hazar- dous journey of nearly a thousand miles, the priest and his redskin com panions sleeping at night in the woods and living principally on Indian corn. They were mehaced constantly by the savage Iroquois, who were at war with the whites and the. Hnrons. Soon after his arrival a pestilence broke out among the Indians, and the medincine went charged the responsibility to the priests, who had narrow escape from death.
 Later Father Jogues was captured, tortured and made Q slave by the MohaVks, but after time he made his escape and reached Albany, go- ing thence to Manhattan. Return ing to Europe, he was wrecked on the English coast. In 164S he returned to Canada, and, after concluding a treaty between the French and Mo- hawks, he discovered Lake George, which he named the Lake of the Blessed Sacrament. In September he left Quebec for missionary trip to the Mohawk country, saying to a friend, T go, but I shall not return" On reaching the Indian settlement the priests clothes were torn off and his body was slashed with knives. He was then hailed before a council and sentenced to death. On Oct. IS, 1646, he was slain with a tomahawl1, after which his bcdy was mangled and thrown into the Mohawk.
