Catholic kaffirs-There are 10000
Catholic Kaffirs in British South Afri-
ca. These are mainly cared for by the
Trappists, who in this case are most
active missionaries, as in all cases
they are holy contemplatives. There
are of them seventy-two Fathers, and
one hundred and lightweight Brothers
and thirty submissions. In Durham
alone they own twelve thousand acres
and have, besides agricultural work,
schools of every grade, a printing
press, book bindery; trades of every
description for boys; and the sisters
have the same for girls. All their
holy effort is for the Natives and they
are most fruitful in results.
Resented InsuIt-After the acquittal
at the Court of Appeal, Venice, OF
Mgr. Della Vale, Mitred Abbot of Aos-
which the lower court had acquitted
him a month previously, comes news
of an incident at Genoa that goes far
to manifest the spirit of the times.
At the second act of the comedy
"Prete Pero," which was being played
in the Politeama, the Genoese showed
their disgust at the insult offered in
the piece to the patriotism of the
clergy and the Catholics. So lively
did things become that the author had
to address the audience and give ex,
plantations that barely secured the
continuation of the play. Similar dis
plays of hostility against "Prete Pero'
had already been made at Milan and
Aosta.

In The Land OF Cortez

There was excitement in BuSta-
mantle, among the rolling hills of
Mexico. There had been an uprising
in the Capital and the revolutionists
under General Alvi had increased daily
in strength and boldness. Threaten
ing reports had been current several
weeks, but only today word had come
that band or insurgents, headed by
a notorious bandit from the noun
tains, had surprised village few
miles away, had shot down. all who
opposed them and plundered their
homes, treating with inhuman cruelty
their helpless wives and children.
Those only were spared who were
willing to join them in their murder
Gus raids. Bustamante, if it valued
it's peaceful homes, might well keep
watch.
About dusk ten or twelve men fully
armed, came out from the village to
the Armstrong mansion, which stood
some distance back from the dusty
highway and opposite the handsome
| little Church of San Juan.
John Armstrong, the wealthy owner
| of the Southcomb Mills, was waiting
| on the broad veranda to welcome
them in to supper. John had come to
| Mexico shortly after his graduation
from college, had built the great hemp
mills and made Bustamante one OF
the prettiest, happiest villages in
Mexico. After the death of his father
cotton merchant of Philadelphia
some five years before, his mother
with his sister Frances and Stephen,
his younger brother, had come to live
with him.
1t was happy home and joyous
hearts dwelt within it. Only one thing
kept John from being the happiest of
sons and his mother from being the
most joyous of mothers. He was no
longer the little man who used to
rise early every morning to accom-
pany her to Mass and kneel by her
side at the altar-rail. The glittering
| gold and the ease and luxury which
accompany wealth had made him for
getful of the hand that so generously
bestowed it.
Under the press of business, daily
Mass became a thing of the past and
soon Father Martinez noticed his alb
sence even on Sundays. The good
Padre told his charge quite plainly
what he thought of such conduct
Angry words followed on both sides
and John left with bitterness in his
heart. Henceforth the church anC
Father Martinez were scrupulously
avoided. After his mothers arrival
the pastor visited their home frequent
ly, but he rarely preached this sub
ject even to her, and John on these
occasions generally absented himself
John was not a hardened sinner
as Father Martinez believed; but his
