Paris, March 13.-French snail far

the war. More than half the French
supply Of this delicacy has been cut
off by the German occupation of Lux

risen accordingly. The demand for
snails has also been stimulated by the
new food regulations, which class
snails with oysters as "hors d ouvre"
of which one may eat as mucn as one
wishes.

THE ST. LAWRENCE PARISH OF
FARIBAULT, MINNESOTA.

FE% IE
(Translated from the "Gedenkblatt,9
by a pupil of st. Lawrence School.)
The Catholic Church began its mis-
sionary work in Rice County at the
time of the first settlement. Father
Ravoux and other missionaries came
on their extended journeys to Fari-
bault and celebrated the holy Mass
in the house of the founder of the city,
Alexander FaribauIt. AS the number of
Catholics increased, they desired to
build a church of their own. Mr.. Fari-
bault needing this desire, erected the
first Catholic Church, a frame build
ing, and donated the ground, on which
this day stands the Church of the I'M
maculate Conception. The first pas
tor was Rev. Geo. Kellar, who
preached every Sunday in English,
German and French.
In the year 1869 Right Reverend TIL.
Grace granted to the German CathO-
lies of Faribault the permission to
establish their own congregation.
Among the founders of the new con
gregation were the following: ].
Bauer, J. P. and Mic. Becker, j. Berg
hof, j. Berglinger, A. Better, P. Bork,
C. Brands, Phi. drummer (Cromer),
c.. Emge, ]. Fleckenstein, ]. Filsmeyer,
B. Gresperink, E. Raul, P. Misgen, M.
Schwarz, j. Stehle, X. Schultz, the
three brothers, TIL, n. and FL. Thorn
mes (Thomas), J. Voegele, J. Volz, A.
Weyer, A. Wiechers. Father Schere
was appointed pastor of the newly or
ganized congregation and he stayed
until 1870. The first parish meeting
was held on Sept. 19, 1869. The first
trustees chosen were: Philip Cromer.
J. Volz, J.. Bauer, J.. Bergliner and K.
Schultz. A piece of ground between
First and Second Avenues was bought
and a small frame church was erected
on it. The first divine service, End

but because the distance from town
was too great, the present cemetery
was purchased in the year 1890. That
the young congregation fostered the
Catholic education Of the children is
proved by a resolution recorded in
the church register of the year 1871:
"a new teacher is to be appointed,
and J. Vogelsberg was elected"
AS the surroundings of the new
church proved unfayorable for divine
services, the members of the congre.
cation looked for a new place away
from the traffic of the city and bought
two lots on August 26, 1872, on Eighth
Street between First and Second Ave.

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR,
MICHAEL MADE GOOD.

In 1870 a broth of an Irish lad, who
had been working as a laborer, de-
cided he would embark into business
with the few dollars he had saved.
He believed he might like the grocery
business. He was living with his wife
in a little frame house of four rooms
in Pittsburgh.
He tore out the front wall of the
house, put in a store front, and paint
ed on the window, Michael Dwyer,
Fine Groceries.
Michael Dwyer was thrifty. His
store grew.
The other afternoon a we'll dressed
man entered the store and handed Mr..
Dwyer a check for $500, 900. When
the man left, Mr.. Dwyer turned to his
son, Jim, who had just returned after
delivering a wagon full of groceries.
Jimmy" he said. To-day is your
thirty-ffth birthday, and I'm going to
make you a present"
He walked over to the surprised
O. and handed him the key to the
store.
That vas the first time the key had
ever been out of the possession of
Michael Dwyer, for he had always
opened up in the morning and closed
at highland pretty late at night.
Jim Dwyer was amazed. He did
not know what it meant-a key for q
birthday gift.
The old man looked at Jim a mo-
ment in silence. Then he added:
To-day l have reached my goal. /
have ST. 900 with the check that
man handed me. He has bought the
garage property from nae. You have
been faithful to me during these years,
delivering my groceries and working
in the store. Now the store, with the
property it stands on, is yours"
Michael Dwyer made much money in
the grocery business, but he acquired
the bulk of his fortune through in
vesting wisely in real estate.

A butcher is something of an auto
crat in his line of business, for there
is no one commodity about which the
general run of people know so little
as meats. When a community has a
market such as that conducted by
the above mentioned firm, located at
205 North Central Avenue, there is a
large degree of satisfaction among its
patrons. They carry a large and var
led assortment of fresh and cured
meats, fish, poultry, caaned goods and
groceries and make it a rule tc
handle nothing but the best of meats
and when the customer asks for
good steak" he gets it, and the
same is true of every other kind OF
meat called for.
