CHAPEL OF THE LILIES
THE STORY OF A MUcH.FRE-
QUENTED SHRINE IN ELEND,
GERMANY-A MIRAcULoU S
LILY-CHALICE.

On a stormy, dismal night in mid
winter a belated teamster, with a
heavy load of wine, was driving along
the almost impossible road which
runs by the little mountain church of
Elend, 1t the foot of the Broken,
says The Ave Maria" The disc of
the moon appeared only seldom
through the dark clouds, which chased
one another across the sky. A sharp
north wind shook the bare branches Of
the trees that grew thick on both
sides of the way, and blowing the
snow into the ravines, heaped it into
large snowdrifts. The wind grew
every moment more sharp and cutting,
the snow deeper, and the difficulty
greater for the tired horses to draw
their heavy load.
Now and then the teamster stopped
and gazed into the darkness in search
of some shelter. He called for help,
but heard only the echoes of his own
voice ring deep in the snowy wood.
All remained desolate, dumb, and aw-
full. No friendly light, that so re-
ioices the nightly wanderer, was to be
e e anywhere; no bark of dog. The
silence of death reigned. Only now
and then the wings of some nocturnal
bird of prey auttered over his head,

But Rose, spite of that always looked

To me twas as clear as the heavens

This larnin' of lessons an larnin' Of
I'm trampin' it yet in my dreams let

Where the lane ran on down by the

I've picked my steps lightly thro' pud-

In the barnyard that hindered my
progress to school,
A Whistlin' like if my heart it would

An wonderin' if Rose she was ready

But Rose, l suppose she was mindin'

So I'd go on a-whistlin' old Erin Go

We'd get to the school the same time
after all,
For Flaherty's prize she was wise

IT'S a chune that a Teller sang to her

AS the cows in the barnyard looked

An Flaherty's daughter, the fun in

Whin, a bit of a girl, | was soft in the

and a rustling was heard among the
dry branches of the leafiess trees.
The stars seemed like cold, silent
eyes looking down on the weary man
and tired horses. The thick clouds
scudded quietly past; and the snow,
too, was silent at the grave.
The lonely traveller grew more ter
rified; and, as he urged on his horses,
the wagon suddenly sunk in a deep
place, and no efforts of the exhausted
animals could move it from the spot.
Loud cried the unfortunate teamster
for help. No one heard him. In an
guish he wrung his hands, and be-
sought the Blessed Virgin, hope of
the d~espairing, to aid him in his dis.
tress.
Suddenly he heard a rustling in the
thicket; and a female form, like the
silver moo when she appears above
the peaks of the mountains, glided
out of the darkness into view,-slen-
der as the fir-tree of the Harz, fair as
the early dawn, fresh as meadow dew,
beautiful as eternal youth. A lustre
like a sunset in spring, or an Alpine
glow on the perpetual snow, f1oated
around the heavenly form, and cast
on the rigid snow masses a soft glim-
mer like a fairy light.
In CONSERVATION the teamster gazed
at the radiant figure, that, with a ce-
lestial smile, approached the sunken
wagon, and with "a single touch drew
wagon and horses out of the deep
place.
Thrilled by the mysterious vision,
and cheered by the unexpected aid,
the teamster fell on his knees and en-
deavored to thank his helper and de-
~liverer, expressing deep regret that he
had neither gold nor silver to make an
offering to her mountain chapel.
At these words the beautiful appa-
rition touched a shrub that stretched
forth it's dried, thorny branches
when instantly leaves and buds burst
forth, and soon the whole shrub was
loaded with most beautiful lilies, that
breathed forth a wondrous and n
wonted perfume!
The Queen of Heaven-for it IA
she herse!f-broke off one of the
lilies and formed a chalice. And as
the teamster was thinking whether he
might venture to fill it with wine
from his baskets, the vision vanished.
Meanwhile the horses had gone on
with the wagon. which they now drew
with perfect ease; but stood still be-
fore the Chapel Of Elend. The team
ster entered the oratory to thank the
Almighty for his deliverance, when 10!
he recognized in the painting of Our
Lady over the altar his gracious de-
~liverer, and placed the ~1ily-chalice as
an offering before her shrine.
With amazing rapidity the fame of
the miracle spread over Germany, and
the Chapel of the Lilies became one of
the most frequented shrines. The
%wondrous lily-chalice was sent to
Rome; but first, an exact copy of it
was made in clay and preserved in
Elend for many, many years. 1t was
often shown to the pilgrims, who
1ocked to the mountain church in
such great numbers that it vas en-
larged, and seven doors cut in it's
walls. 1t is sometimes called the
| Church of the Seven Portals, but more
commonly by the prettier name of the
Chapel of the Lilies.

CATHOLIC REPUBLIC OF ANDORRA
THE HISTORY OF A LITTLE RE-
PUBLIC IN THE PYRENEES.

A most interesting country is
Andorra, that little Pyrennean repub-
lie in the midst of monarchies, with
a history, (some would call it only a
tradition) which goes back to the days
when the Mohammedans over-ran
Spain.
1T was during these troublous years
when the Christian civilization of
southwestern Europe seemed doomed
to speedy humiliation at the hands
of the unconquerable Moslem armies,
(says the author of "Andorra, the
Hidden Republic,") that some terror
stricken Catalan peasants left their
fertile fields among the foothills of
the County of Urge1, and fed up the
Segre River and its tributary, the
Valira, into the most remote and in
accessible valleys of the Pyrenees.
Here by the highest sources of their
mountain torrent, the refugees settled
in barren riches of the great rock
wall which guards the northern bor-
der of Spain, and hoped that the very
poverty of their new home would in
sure them against further molesta-
tion."
But beyond the Pyrenees lay
France, and a continent of "Infidels"
which seemed ripe for conquest; SO,
hardly had the 'exiled Galatians had
time to clear their little homesteads
by the Valira River, before the Mos
lem raiders were again upon them.
In desperation the h~ard-pressed colon
lists appealed for help to the invincible
Charlemagne, who gladly came to
their assistance, and drove the Moors;
not only from the Pyrenees, but from
the adjacent parts of Spain.
The relief, however, proved to be
only temporary. On the withdrawal
of the Christian army, the tide of
Moslem invasion again swept up the
mountains, and again the frightened
peasants besought aid from the
mighty kingdom to the North. This
time it was Charlemagne's son, Louis
lie Debonnair-or, as the Andorrans
prefer to call him, Louis the Pious'
who invaded Catalonia with such
good success that now It. was The
Moors who were forced to fee for
refuge to the high valleys Of. the Pyre-
nees. There, in the little plain by
the fork Of the Valira, where today
stands the tiny capital, Andorra la
Vale. Louis inflicted upon the Mos.

Very Rev. II. Moynihan, D. D.,
St. Thomas College, st. Paul, MINI.
My dear Father Moynihan:-
l want to congratulate you heartily
upon the action of the Hibernians of
the state in providing for the estab-
lishment of an Irish library. This will,
| hope, make it unnecessary for us to
pay special attention to this depart
ment in the Public Library. On the
other hand, it will, l suppose, be nee
essary for us to continue to buy more
popular current publications in this
field. For this reason | wish that you
would consider the ~advisability of re-
garding our collections as a part of
yours, not duplicating our purchases,
but supplementing them. If this pol
icy is pursued we ought to eventually
have not only the best Irish library in
the northwest, but n of the best in
the country, and such a library would
confer distinction not only upon the
College, but upon the city.
If you think favorably of this sug-
gestion, 1 should be very glad to have
such lists of ~desiderata as you may
make up with a view to Indicating
those books which we have already
purchased, or if you prefer l will send
you from time to time titles of new
books on Irish history or on Irish lit
erature purchased by us.
Ultimately l hope that we may have
a catalogue of the collections In book
form.
Very truly yours,
DAWSON JOHNSTON,
Librarian.

How To Fight The Liquor Habit.

Do you honestly want to stop drink
ing? Then read an article ON liquor
by Booth Harrington in the January
American Magazine in which he
writes about a man who says:
They tell me there are dipsoma-
MACS, and there may be some abnor-
NAL people who can't turn the trick;
but I almost doubt it. And I don't
believe there's the slightest question
of will power. Never for one second
did I consciously exert my will, there
wasn't anything real to exert it
against. I didn't say to myself, I
WILL or L won't / said, I've had
my last and knew that it was true.
1t didn't take the will power, or the
strength, of a caterpillar. 1t didn't
take any. just rested a little, got
my head clear, and saw that pre-
ferred a real life, however little
comedy | found in it, to a drugged
one. And, also, I preferred not to be
a soggy thing, myself. Finding out
that preference was important.
After ALL miracle is only Nature
doing something we've learned to ex-
pect her not to do; and my miracle is
one that will happen to any other
man who'll rest while and consult
himself My recommendation is two

How the New York Milk Strike Was
Won.

In the December Farm and Ffreside
there is an article explaining how the
dairymen won their milk strike in
New York. The writer of it says:
Reorganization centered about the
Dairymen's League, which began in
1907 to enrol few farmers. 1t was
the handiest center to rally about, and
has grown by leaps and bounds since
August LIST. From a few hundred it
grew to $4,000 members, owning 300,-
900 cows. The normal milk supply of
New York City is 100000 quarts a
day. 1t is collected by wagons,
brought to the shipping stations of
the big concerns, shipped in iced cars,
pasteurized, and distributed.
Doubtless New York is the first
State to adopt statewide movement
to bring producer and consumer to-
gether. The State Department of
Foods and Markets, of which John ].
Dillon is commissioner, is the great
clearing house for all sorts of farm
produce. 1t sells for farmers apples,
eggs, hay, fruit, butter-anything the
farmer raises"
