FOUNDER OF THE RED CROSS
A FORMER GAMBLER AND SMASH
BucKLER WHO JOINED THE CA
PucHINs STARTED THIS GREAT
WORK OF MERCY.

One far-away morning in 1869 a
rather tired and ragged young man
limped through the gates of the hos
pital of st. Giacomo with a sore leg,
says Rome in a recent issue. The
doctors dressed it, and the surly at
PENDANTS of the place gave him a bed
and something to eat. The young
man shortly after secured a job among
them and showed himself to be quite
worthy of it according to the standard
of time and place.. He had frequent
rows with his colleagues, he spent a
good deal of his time and wages in
gambling, he neglected the patients,
and at last he was bundled out of the
place for neglect of duty.
After that for five or six years he
led very chequered career, fighting
against the Turks, fighting an occa-
sional duel, almost getting shipwreck-
| ed, and gambling as usual. Arriving
in Naples at the close Of the war he
lost at cards all the money he had left
and after that he staked and lost his
sword, his arquebus, his powder horn,
his cloak, and all the clothes he could
take off without being naked and
then he became a Capuchin. But the
sore leg began to trouble him again,
and once more he turned up limping
at the gates Of st. Giacomo, and se-
cured another job there.
Now, however, new spirit began
to animate him. He realized the mis-
cry and the helplessness of the sick,
the disorder and imperfections Of the
hospital service, the carelessness and
the want of heart of the nercenaTies
who attended them. For a while he
did his best with the instruments at
his disposal as manager OF the hos
pital, himself giving the example of
how hospital nurses should treat their
patients, instructing, encouraging, re-
buking them, but at last coming to the
conclusion that the only way to look
after the sick was to take them out
of the hands Of the mercenaries and
entrust them to the care OF men who
would serve them for the love Of God.
And this is how Camille de Lellis
founded his Congregation OF Ministers
of the Sick in the neighboring church
of Santa del Miracoli
A former gambler and swashbuck-
Ter seemed hardly the man for such
a task, but he did manage to get a
few of the attendants OF st. Giacomc
to join him. The directors OF the hos
pital did net like the thing at all.
Camille was evidently 2 crank, 2 revo-

FAMOUS IRISH TENOR
JOHN MCCORMICK A DEvoUT
CATHOLIC -. NEVER EXPLOITS
HIS RELIGIoN-THE HAPPIEsT
MOMENTS OF HIS LIFE.

On Sunday afternoon, December 49,
John Mccormick, the famous Irish
tenor, gave a concert at the Hippo
drome, New York, the proceeds of
which, amounting to nearly $4,000,
he donated to the Knights of Columbus
100000 fund which is being raised
for the purpose of erecting Young
Mems Catholic Association building
in that city, which will be centre of
Catholic activity for the metropolis.
Although John Mccormick is a de-
voted Catholic, it must be said to his
credit, that he has never exploited
his religion in the interests of the
box Office. On the theory that many
incidents associated with his career
will be read with interest by his
legion of Catholic admirers and that
| it can be no longer charged that the
telling of them at this stage is done
for business" reasons, a few such
incidents hitherto known only to his
most intimate friends will be told to
the public now for the first time. John
Mccormick has never started out on a
concert tour or opened a season in
grand opera until he had first ar
ranged for special MASS and re-
ceived the Blessed Sacrament.
Father Kearney, pastor of the little
church in Maiden Lane, London, is
authority for the statement that dur
ing the seven years Mr.. Mccormick
had been singing at Convent Garden
he has never missed paying visit to
the little chapel on his way to the
Opera House.
A story is related by one of his most
intimate friends that since as a
young and comparatively unknown
singer he was presented with medal
of st. Cecilia, the patron saint of
music, by his good friend, Mary An
| derson, he has never been known to
appear on a concert or operate stage
when he was not wearing this medal.
The medal, it may be remarked, was
blessed by His Holiness the late Pope
Plus X, when both the donor and re-
cipient were received in private
audience at the Vatican in 1907. This
/ incident brings TO mind statement
made by Mr.. Mccormick last summer
to representative of a secular news
paper, who, during the course Of an
interview, asked the singer what he
considered the happiest moments OF
his life. The interviewer, no doubt
expected him to say, in fact animated
as much, that one of these moments
was when he stood before an audience
of several thousand enthusiastic adj
mirers in some part of the world and
listened to their frantic applause.

itself is regarded as sufficient proof
of the importance which is attached
to them.
French aviators who are ambitious
to destroy "sausages' are often lured
to their death. The captive balloons
are kept two or three miles behind
the German lines, thanked by aero
planes In groups of from seven to
twelve. A German decoy is sent forth
to tempt the French machines into
danger. When the bait is taken. the
German sends out a distress signal
in the form OF fuse, and the German
group drives forward and endeavors
to hem the daring Frenchman In.

Correspondence OF Associated Press. }
Paris, May 5.-The so.calied "sau,
2 sage"-the captive balloon employed
by the Germans for observation pur.
poses-is playing an important part
OF the battle of verdun. 20 this valu
able accessory is attributed much OF
the admittedly remarkable precision
: Of the German heavy artillery.
Assemblages OF troops and motor
transports become targets for big
shells-notwithstanding French ef.
rorts to screen them from enemy oh.
servation-because OF the develop.
ment OF the sausage" so termed by
the French because OF its shape.
At the commencement OF the artil
lery attack forty.five OF these air,
craft were above the German lines
along q thirty-mlle front. The Ger,
man zone OF observation appears to
be divided into as many sections as
there are 'sausages." The method
Of the Germans is to plan the French
terrain into theoretical squares so that
ranges may be readily found and tele'
phoned to the batteries.
A sausage can rise 1900 yaras
when necessary. but generally ascends
no higher than little more than half
that distance. so that Il may be low.

The Difference.

"Now," said the teacher In the bot.

tell me the difference between annual
and biennial plants?"
Yes" replied the intelligent youth.

year and biennials are those that die
twice a year."-Judge.

purpose to leave the Impression that
the dairy COW y N animal or ma
chine for the production Of an un.
usually large amount Of money in a
short while, but instead we wish to
emphasize the fact that there is no
one phase Of permanent agriculture
which is so sure of a good average
amount Of quick returns, and which
will pay better for the time and money
invested where she is properly cared
for and managed than that Of the
dairy COW.
There is no one farm crop, neither
is there any other farm animal in
Texas that will give as quick returns
on an investment as the dairy COW.
Feed that is consumed by her one day
Is converted into a finished product
and can be sold for cash the next
day. This helps In large measure
to solve the farm credit problems, for
the dairy farmer has a cash income
daily. weekly or monthly. and unlike
the cotton or wheat farmer who mort.
cages his crop for supplies to be paid
for at the end OF the year at a high
rate OF interest, the wise dairy farm.
er pays for his supplies monthly ard
saves that high rate OF interest which
is paid by many Of the cotton ard
wheat farmers.
There is no question about dairy
ing being a profitable business where
good cows are kept and properly man
aged, for II has been demonstrated
time and again that the dairy COW
will take given amount OF grain and
hay and convert 1t into more pounds
of valuable human food than any 9th.
er animal on the farm. And unlike
some other lines of agriculture, there
is very little of the element OF specu-
lation in dairy farming. for the mar.
ket price Of dairy products varies on
the whole less than almost any other
class OF farm products.
With the large number OF cream.
cries that are being operated in the
various sections of the state that fur.
nish market for butter fat, the great
demand by the large number OF towns
and cities in the state for whole
milk. cream. raw material for manu-.
featuring ice cream and the fact that
the state sends out into other sections
annually sS,O00,OO0 for dairy products
makes dairying safe proposition as
far as the marketing OF dairy products
Is concerned. The demands for good
dairy products in Texas will continue
to be greater than the supply for
many years to come. This along with
the fact that there has never been a
year in the history Of the State OF
Texas when 1t was not possible, by
proper cultural methods. TO grow feed
for dairy cows. and our mild winters
make It possible for our dairy cows
to be grazed on green pastures from
10 to ~ months out Of each year.
makes dairying safe and sure bust
ness and gives us many advantages
In the production of cheaper and bet
ter dairy products.
In conclusion, wish to say that as
4 permanent business do not believe |
that any one can invest his time and
in any phase OF Texas agri.
culture which is safer and will bring |
IN as quick returns as good dairy |
,ows. where they receive the proper |
