Nine Wonderful
Strikes!

We have made 9 drillings on our 4O-acre
tract and have drilled in rich ore every time
with one exception The face Of ore ran
from q to AZ feet We have at least two
stratas of ore on this ieaser one at Is feet
apd one at l46 feet. There are doubtless
more at greater depth. What we have al
ready blocked-out is enough to insure enor-
nous profits to our stockholders. The
Emma Gordon mine is one of the big payers
Of the field. The management recently
stated that in ten years they have taken from
their D-acre lease more than a million dol
lars worth Of ore and ONLY A QUAR-
TER OF AN ACRE HAS BEEN MINED.
That should he ample proof of the long life
Of this proposition. This is the big chance
OF your life. Decide to profit. Act. Make
your investment NOW

LINCOLN AND THE NUNS
TRIBUTE BY LINCOLN TO cATHo.
Lie SISTERsIS TOLD IN
.... CONGRESS.

The Hon. Ambrose Kennedy, in a
Nuns of the Battlefield, quoted the
following tribute by the great Abra-
ham Lincoln to these holy heroines
of the Civil War:
''"Of all the forms Of charity and
benevolence seen in the crowded
wards of the hospitals, those of some
Catholic Sisters were among the most
efficient. l never knew whence they
came or what was the name of their
order. More lovely than anything
have ever seen in art, so long devoted
to illustrations of love, mercy, and
charity, are the pictures that remain
of those modest Sisters going on their
errands of mercy among the suffer
ing and dying. Gentle and womanly,
yet with the courage of soldiers lead
ing a forlorn hope, to sustain them in
contact with such horrors. AS they
went from cot to cot, distributing the
medicines prescribed, or administer
ing the cooling, strengthening
draughts as directed, they we're VERT
able angels of mercy. Their words
were suited to every sufferer. One
they melted and encouraged, another
they Gained and soothed. With every
soldier they conversed about his
home, his wife, his children, all the
loved ones he was soon to see again
if he was obedient and patient. How
many times have seen them exor
else pain by their presence or their
words! How often has the hot fore
head of the soldier grown cool as
one of these Sisters bathed it! How
often has he been refreshed, encour-
aged, and assisted along the road to
convalescence, when he would other
wise have fallen by the way, by the
home memories with which these un-
paid nurses filled his heart!"

Jew shall henceforth be citizen with
equal rights in Roumania'
The attitude of the Roumanian
Government toward the Catholics and
the Jews was the cause of consider
able unrest in that country before
the war. The Greek Orthodox church
is the recognized State church, and
while the constitution grants liberty
in the practice of their religion to all
the other churches, Catholics and
Jews we're frequently denied their
constitutional rights. In 1910 the
estimated population of the country
was 6,865,800, of whom 1857 (2.5
per cent? were Catholics There are

SAINT CLARA COLLEGE,
sINsINAWA, WISCONSIN.

Mr.. Scionti's supremacy among pi-
anists was again made obvious in his
recital of April IA, when he won an
other notable triumph at Saint Clara.
An artist of wonderful versatility, a
modernist or a classicist at will, there
is a perennially fresh reverent joy in
his art which imparts itself to the
audience and is received with genu-
inc enthusiasm. Colossal describes
his magnificent technique as displayed
particularly in the awe-inspiring diff
culties of the exacting Bach-Busoni
Chaconne, and the delicacy and charm
of a keen poetic sense distinguished
the playing of all other numbers. In
the Schubert-Liszt and Schumann-
List compositions, the piano was con-
verified by the magic of the player into
human voices which sang with bell
like tones the exquisite Faith to
Spring and Spring Night.
Recitals given by students, who
will receive honors in music, occurred
last week as follows: Academic certif-
Gates. violin, Miss r. Mixson. Miss E.
Dolan and Miss May Johnson; gradu-
ate. piano, Miss G. Mixson; bachelor
of music, piano, Miss d. Trexler.

LEAGUE of Catholic Women: The
regular monthly meeting of the
League was held on Monday after
noon, April Is, at half past two o'clock,
in the assembly rooms, 100 Marquette
avenue. Rev. Edward F. Casey gave
an address on "The Catholic Way of
Doing Things" Father Casey pointed
out the pitfalls to be avoided by the
Catholic charity worker. Satisfaction
and pleasure in doing good is nat
ural attitude of mind, Father Casey
said. 1t is one of the appendages of
conscience. But this is not the high.
est motive for doing good. Real
Christian charity is an overflow of the
love of God in our hearts-a love that
| is so great that it extends to every
creature about us. 1t gives its pos
SCISSOR the Christian vision that sees
| the Babe of Bethlehem in every little
child, and in every laborer, the Car
penter of Galilee. The charity work
er must be able to grasp the relation
between organized charity and the
older and simpler form of neighborli
ness, and so give her work that hu
name touch without which all service
is meaningless. Charity is SO much
more valuable when it is given, nc
in the patronizing spirit of the
benefactor, but in the democratic
spirit of the good neighbor. There ii
an imitation charity dictated by fash
ion. 1t is the fashion to build hospi
tails for the sick and asylums for thu
poor. But this was not always SO
In the days of her greatest splendo
Rome had no asylums for the poor

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
ACTIVITIES AT DODGE.

April IA, 1918.
To the Editor;

AAPIA IL AOIO'
To the Editor
Activities during the week were
somewhat crippled owing to the trans
fer of men to other camps, which has
been going on for the last three
weeks. Release of this information
was ordered the other day by the
military authorities The transfer be-
gan during the week of the Mission
which ended Easter Sunday and min
imized considerably the attendance.
However, at that many of the boys
before leaving took advantage of the
opportunity to approach the Sacra-
ments and went on their way "over
there" rejoicing in the state of grace.
1t has been edifying time and again to
behold so many of our boys anxious
to go to confession and receive Holy
Communion just before the moment
of departure. Every morning brought
it's quota of boys even as early at 4:30,
seeking the consolation of religion
A new phase of the work here, in
augurated Sunday, is the assistance
now being rendered by the members
of ,Des gMoines K of G.. Council. A
corps of the members has volunteered
to come to the building each Sunday
and assist the secretaries in caring
for the crowds that come to visit the
boys and inspect the camp. AS the
summer months approach such valu-
able assistance will be much needed
and fully appreciated.
Mr.. Benjamin, secretary of the
base hospital, is finding a fruitful field
for work. During his first two weeks
he has distributed over five thousand
sheets of writing paper with the neces-
sary envelopes. He is handling
stamps, money-orders, kilograms, etc.
He is corresponding with the friends
and relatives and writing for the boys
in case they cannot help themselves.
A special K. of C. building to be con-
nected with the hospital is sadly
needed, heartily desired by the author
| tiles in charge of the hospital, and it's
| erection has been recommended to
the X. of C. war committee at Wash
| ington.
Movies, athletics, featuring several
excellent boxing bouts, were the main
attractions during the past week. At
the main building in the forenoon the
machine gun battalions have been
| holding a special school of instruc-
ton. Sunday the attendance at the
several Masses was up to the stand
ard, the number of Communions being
| one hundred and forty-one
