The foolishness of his past life
swept down upon him; worldly sue
cess and pride had blinded him to the
sweet joys of his Catholic Faith; he
had given up it's practice and peace
had gone out of his life. Now he was
back at Bethlehem, the home of peace.
His gentle mothers prayers had won
the day. His head sank slowly for

When John rose from his knees the

In the next moment Johns mind
went back over his whole life. He
saw his mother standing before him
with tears in her eyes and a prayer
upon her lips. He felt the trembling
hand of Mary laid in his as they. stood
beneath the Cross and looked up into
the face of their dying Saviour. He
had proved himself an migrate and the
prodigal had been welcomed home
For his Mother, for the love of Mary,
his heavenly Queen, for Jesus sake
he would be true. There was courage,
superhuman courage in that reply
Never! | can"
But he never finished, for the brute
was true to his word.
Father Martinez rushed forward and
grasped the dying man in his arms
The revolver was raised again, but one
of the bandits with the butt of his
rife struck it to the ground.

At the instant a sharp volley rang
out from the roadway and several of
the band fell forward on their faces
The robbers returned the shots and for
a brief interval the firing was kept up,
the bullets whizzing over their heads,
clipping the leaves and flattening
against the walls of the church. The
resistance was brief, and as the rebels
turned and fed, shout of triumph
went up from the roadway. Busta-
mante was saved

The words of dissolution were
spoken. Then quickly taking
little gold pyx from his breast, the
Padre raised the Bread of Life in
benediction. The bright, blue eyes of
the dying man beemed with Joyous
expectation. Then for few moments
all was silent. At last he opened his
eyes again and began to speak dis
tinctly, but with great effort. "Fa-

STREET RAILWAY ; ASKS FOR SCENT
 STREET CAR FARE

St. Joseph, Mo-. Nov. 20.--The St. Joseph Street Railway, Light Heat and Power Company has filed notice with City Counselor Charles F. Faust, that it has asked for an increase in street car fare to eight cents from the present far of five cents. This peti- tion to the state public service con.- mission supersedes petition filed for six cent fare about a, month; ago.;
 According to the petition, the pres ent rate and the recently proposed rate of six cents would not afford an income large enough to pay the com pany's expenses. The increased wages, fuel cost and other supplies are said to be absorbing all the revenue, says the petition.
 Employees of the company struck last Thursday demanding that the power house workers be recognized as members of the union. The strike was settled Monday.

Continued from page onel o-.- Major Humes.
 The witness denied this, saying that labor disputes which he desired to keep from the public led to the adopt ion of the policy.
 It was while Secretary Fox was on the stand that Major Humes read the statement said to have been prepared for the former president of the Ger man-American alliance. Copies or the statement which was a declaration or the alliances position on the European war before the United States became a belligerent were sent to F. F. Feigen- span, of Newark, N. J., who aided in financing the purchase of the Wash ington Times, and the Montgomery, (Ala.), Advertiser, and who then was chairman of the publications commit tee of the brewers association.
 Hexamer's statement condemned as sabotaGa the destruction of American factories engaged in producing war materials for the allies and also con- demned the sinking of ships carry ing munitions. Those responsible for the such should be punished. HeXa- mer said, but he added that he did not believe they were committed at the instigation of Germany or Austria.
 "This indicates that some literary inclined person in the office of the United States Brewers Association was writing German propaganda, doesn't it?" asked Major Hnmes.
 ''I don't recall anything about it." Mfr. Fox replied
 sMr. Feigenspan was then chair man of the Publications committee at the time this article was written and sent to him, was he not?''
 "Yes," Fox replied, and he added. "and that bears an indication some one had spread it in the office of our association
 German propaganda" he continued twas by common consent discussed very little with us. I do not know whether that was because I am an Englishman."
 Hugh H. Fox, seretary of the United States Brewers Association, identi- fled many letters and circulars sent to members regarding the anti-beer attitude of certain firms and persons.
 'My memory is that I acted as a sort of an intermediary ill this mat ter" said Mir Fox. "I think it was the intention of our association rather to give preference to those who were our friends. I do not think the asso- citation took any action to cause a boycott"
 "You had on your unfair, or black list, some of the biggest firms in the country" interposed Senator Overman, including the Cadillac Company and the Wanamaker Company "The Cadillac Company was the leader in the fight against us in their commu nity," the witness replied.

Action against the Heinz Company folinwed the election of II. J. Heinz of Pittsburgh, as president or the pennsylvania State Sunday Schooa Association, at the convention oi which prohibition sentiments were eA- pressed, according to a letter "hi"n FOX said he wrote.
 Another letter showed that the American Rolling Mills listed was caused by poster against the use o' liquor by it's employees.
 MT. FOX did not recall having listed the Western Union Telegraph because of it's rule requiring total apst'nehce on the part of it's employees.
 Tn the case of the Grasselll Com- pany, an official of that concern was referred to as having been actlVe III support of an evangelist.
 Major E Lowry asked whether the brewers caused detectives to pc assigned to the plants of the unlteo States Steel corporation to ascertain it's attitude toward the use of liquor by it's employees. Fox said the informa- ton obtained from the steel company as he remembered the incident was that it did not object to the use o1 beer by it's employees.
 The Delaware, LackaWana and Wes- tern Railroad Company was listed be- cause of the promulgation of all order against the use of liquor by it's eln- ployes, Major Humes charged but later a letter was sent by the railroad to it's freight solicitors saying It did not object to it's employees having llq- nor in their own homes. Subsequently, a letter was sent by the brewers asso- citation to it's agents in which it was said that the difference with the road had been adjusted.

WILSON IN FRANCE.

We do not believe that anything could have happened which would have given the average American more pleasure than the official an- nouncement from Washington that the President would go to France and sit with the other members of the Su preme War Council in the preliminary, and possibly in the final, discussion of peace.
 When Mr. Wilson arrives in France we believe he will be given the great est reception ever accorded any pub lie man in the history of the world, and, to be frank, he deserves that reception. He will be honored as the champion of humanity and right, and the friend of every people on earth. His we'll known policy of equal rights to all nations, whether large or small have won for him world popularity, and the fact that his original fourteen peace principles were accepted almost in their entirety show that the peo- pie of Europe have abiding faith ill the sound foundamental justice of the principles of lasting peace as viewed by the President.
 The people of America believe that his going to Europe will do much to strengthen the position of the allies, as he will be tower of personal strength on the Council; he will com mand the attention, fthe world lead CTS by his acknowledged statesman ship. and diplomacy. and he will be called upon to unravel many of the baffling questions bound to arise in. a discussion of such huge magnitude.
 President Wilson is a big man in every way-but he is especially large in his dealings with smaller nations. and his strict policy of always giving justice to the smaller nation has won him a place in the hearts of the people of Europe and they will have more confidence in any rulings of the Su- preme War Council when they know that the man who made possible the winning of the war is sitting with the other peace makers and demanding and receiving justice for large and small alike. Thus in his mere pres ence a contented Europe will be certain.
 Just at this time. however, we be- lieve that the President is undoubted- ly the biggest man in the worlds his tory, and, after he has gone to France, and we hope, to'London. Brussels, and 70 Rome, that he will return to his home land. where his people will long for him in his short absence, and then let us hope, he will tour the country and give his own people a chance to show him how immensely popular he really is with the people of the United States.
 The President will be surprised to see personally the confidence and the faith of his own people in his magni- ficient leadership.

Gerard the American ambassador. on condition that he leave the country. He left the country but returned again in July, 1915 and was arrested.
