IN the midst Of the epidemic, he was
reported dead 20 his friends and rcla-
tives, after he had been taken to one
of the hospitals stricken with the
malady.
He created no little surprise when
he finally emerged from the institution
and at once set out to sea again
Eventually, he was a passenger upon
q ship when Miss Lena Luckman, his
second wife, and her parents were

Orphan Work Day.
Of them all

The custom has grown of having one
day in the year set aside as Orphan
Work Day.
That means that all friends of the
orphans work on that day and what
ever thew make, they send to various
UNCONVENTIONAL orphanages. More and
more the custom has spread until now
it means great deal to the orphan
ages.
This year, Sept. 80 is Orphan Work
Day.
Whatever you make on that day, if
you are Presbyterian, should be sent
to Thornwell Orphanage, Clinton, s..
c., for it is the Presbyterian Orphan
age of Georgia, Florida and South
Carolina. Many children, fatherless
and motherless, are there from your
state, and they are being trained in
hand, head and heart. If it were not
for Thornwell Orphanage they would
not get this training.
Will you not, then, set yourself to
work on the Goth, and get others to
work, and send that days income to
your little brothers and sisters, who
must be cared for, and whom you love
to help?
Remember the day, Sept. 30th.
Cut this out and read it to the mem
bers of your family.
Send what you make to Thornwell
Orphange, Clinton, S. c., where there
are 300 orphans, boys and girls being
gwen a Christian training.

"BABY CARRIER" BUSINESS
BETWEEN AMERICA AND JAPAN

TOXIC, Sept. 11.-Attention is being
called here to the growing success of
what is known as the Baby Carrier"
business between the United States and
Japan. The essence of the idea is the
bringing to japan of japanese babies
born in the United States in order that
they may be brought up in this coun-
try and receive their education here.
Over three thousand babies, it is es-
timated, are born every year to Japan
csc families in California. Many fam
lilies are anxious to have their child
rem reared in Japan, but are fnan-
cially unable to bring the babies home
Consequently, hundreds of babies are
brought here by carriers. On each
trip the carrier-a Japanese man or a
Japanese man and his wife-brings five
to fifteen babies and distributes them
in all parts of the empire, usually at
the home of the grandparents. Masumi
Yoshimi, one of those who conceived
the carrier project, says he does not
find the work troublesome. On ar
rival at Yokohama he engages a suffi-
cient number of nurses to look after
the babies in the train and then fol-
lows a carefully prepared itinerary.
"The only danger" he said, lis mix
ing up the babies, but I have solved
that by keeping an Identification card
constantly tied around the neck of each
child"

troops and bitterly denounced Michael
as traitor. The fortunes of battle
were with the Wallachian prince, how
ever, and the cardinal fed from the
field, pursued by shepherds who slew
him.
After the victory Michael entered
the Pennsylvania capital (Hermann.
stadt) with all the pomp and cere-
mony of a Roman general returning
from foreign conquests. He was clad
in costly mantle of silk and gold, bore
richly jeweled scimitar, and was &C
companied by corps of Gypsy must
clans. By this battle in 1899, all of
Pennsylvania, which was supposed to
be impregnable, fell into his hands,
and it was an easy matter to conquer
Moldavia after the prestige of Sellem-
berk.
"The Greater Roumania of Michael's
dreams lasted only a short time. Two
years after his victory in the shadow
of Hermannstadt's walls the prince was
slain in his own tent by soldiers who
had been sent to arrest him as trai.
tor to the Roman emperor His head
was severed from his body with his
own sword. The emperor Rudolph II,
it should be recorded, had not ordered
the arrest and he did not reward the

his race term the noblest Roumanian

NUN LEPER VICTIM.
Stricken After Twenty Years Of serv
ice in Gilbert Islands.

Monsignor Leray, vicar-apostolic of
the Gilbert Islands, sends bad news
regarding one of his faithful nuns,
He says:
Recently the government doctor
officially declared one of our Sisters
to be afflicted with leprosy. This
nun has been twenty years in the ISL
ands and has fallen a victim to her
devotion in caring for the spiritual and
physical needs of the Gilbertins. She
spent every Sunday afternoon in the
leper hospital, seeming to prefer the
patients in the last stage of decay.
"a little hut has been constructed
for the sufferer and a native woman
has consented to remain with her out
of love for her former teacher amt
friend. A priest comes once a week
and says Mass in little chapel con-
structed near the enclosure where
she lives.
"As there are no asylums for white
lepers on the islands, she is obliged
to exist in this complete isolation,
awaiting the slow ravages of the dis
ease. Such life is real martyrdom
for this active woman, but her suffer
ings cannot fail to bring precious
blessing from Heaven upon our poor
missions"
