MARRIED IN BATHING SUITS
Ceremony Certainly Saved Bride and
Groom Considerable Expense in
Wedding s'nefy

The funniest wedding / ever saw
was when camping last summer writes
a correspondent of the Chicago Trlb-
une. A girl friend and her father
were there and she met a young man
whom she grew fond of In short
time. One night he asked her father
for her hand, but father objected be-
cause of the short acquaintance. The
next morning the couple met and
planned to elope, but somehow father
got wise" so this was spoiled. When
swimming that afternoon they met
again and the girl happened to men,
ton that her father had gone to the
village and would not return until eve
ming. The boy said: This IS our
time" A minister was on the shore
and they went to him and asked to be
married at once. The ceremony was
performed on the beach, the couple
nttired In their bathing suits.

Leroux's face blackened and his eyes
started out. His great chest heaved,
and he tore impotently at his enemy's
strong fingers that were shutting out
air and light and consciousness. They
rocked and swayed; then, with last
convulsive effort, Leroux swung Pierre
off his feet. raised him high In the air,
and tried to dash his body against the
projecting rock at the tunnels mouth.

He swung round petulantly, and at
that moment a shadow glided out of
the darkness and stood In front of him.
1t was Pierre Caribou, lean, sinewy
and old. He blocked the path and
faced Leroux In silence.
Leroux looked at him, and an oath
broke from his lips as he read the

languages of Europe and is spoken by
several hundred thousand people of
that race who live in and near the

Notable among those of Basque

annals of the Catholic Church are ST.

Support of Philippine independence
by the leading Catholics OF both the
Philippines and the United States pc
came assured through the receipt III
Washington. of a cablegranl from
Manila announcing that the Arch-
bishop and Bishops of the Catholc
Church in the Philippines had gone
on record in favor of independence,
and that resolutions had been passed
TO that effect. The cablegram con
tanning this information was sent 10
the Philippine Mission by Speaker
Osmena of the House of Representa-
tives in Manila.
Coincident with the receipt was the
important statement of Gabriel La w.
q member of the Philippine MISSION
which was empowered by the Phlllp-
pine legislature to come to the Unlteo
States and work for independence,
that he had received definite and am
ple assurances from leading Catholics
in the United States that they would
not only not oppose independence but
would support the campaign for IN
dependence at this time with great
pleasure. Mr.. La o is Grand knight
of the order of the Knights Of Column
bus in the Philippines. Those who
are leading the movement Tor lnde-
pendence expressed themselves as
much gratitied at the assurances that
had been received, which they de-
clared would have the effect of adding
great impetus to the campaign for
freedom.

dignitaries and officials of the Catho-
lie Church, since my arrival in Amer

FiIipinos Are Progressive.

There is every reason to justify
this patriotic and democratic action
on the part of the many eminent Cain
olics who will assist us in obtaining
independence. Since the Philippines
have been granted an increased
amount of self-government, they have
gone ahead in leaps and bounds IN
practically every field of business en-
deavor. Advances in the arts ana
sciences have kept pace. 1t has Deen
very noticeable that business progress
especially has been in almost exact
proportion with the degree or IN
crease in self-government. There is
every reason to believe that if given
complete independence the economic
DEVELOPMENT of the islands will pro-
coed even faster.
"All of this fine progress reflects
great credit on the Filipino people,
and also on the Catholic religion, for
the Filipinos are Catholic people.
Allow me to point out that the pros
poets for great Philippine nation
are indeed bright. The natural re-
sources of the 3,100 islands comprls-
ing the Philippine archipelago are al
most unlimited, and in the opinion Of
those who are in a position to know
could easily and no doubt some day
will support a population of 50,000,OOO
people.
All that is needed for the founding
of this first great Catholic nation in
the Orient is independence, and there.
fore it is indeed a master stroke on
the part of the Catholic leaders in de.
claring for a Philippine republic. 1t
is also an honest recognition of the
desires of the 100000 Catholic Fill
ipinos, for they are practically a unit
for independence"
