 These days have their of miraculous healing, compished without the usual medicinal The annals of early Connecticut contain their occurrences of which the healing of Mercy Wheeler of the most interesting, well as inc best attesed.
 There lived in PIanfield Wheeler, to whom these things happened in account carefully drawn at the time by Rev. Henry A Lord A. M and the pam phe he published contained the statements womans doctor and her neighbors.
 Mercy Wheeler enjoyed good health until her twentieth and being then seized with fever lay five bed until her muscles from limbs were often disjonted as she turned about bed.

Their routine mechanical work was just like a. clock You could almost always tell at just what time the shells would fall"
 The French naturally took the whole affair as a huge joke and even the children, MT. Bangs asserted, would join in the fun At one time he related of a little boy with whom he was walking through one of the streets, he heard the sirens blow. He knew that shells would almost sim ultaneously follow, but where ke could not designate. A bomb fell a few miles away from him. and the :jttle French lad threw himself on LAe ground and played dead. Then he suddenly arose, and exclaimed, ''The Goth is amusing himself this morn ing" While the Huns were bombing the city the citizens went about their respective duties without any danger at all.
 He said that now we have reached a more dangerous period than during the war. The war, he said, is not over, because there are many people here who yield to sertimentality to- wards the Hun. and that is the great est evil. He stated that the enemy has no more ammunition, ships, nor soldiers to fight with, but he Is now fighting the world with the most in- sidious ropaganda the world has ever known, and he issued a warning to his hearers that it was up to them to see the enemy Is made to pay for his horrors performed during the war.
 This is the second lecture the Bridgeport Art League has given this year and they are to be congratulated for their ability in procuring such entertaining and interesting speakers.

REV. FATHER DONAHUE WRITES
 OF TOLERANCE:

The Times Farmer has received the following interesting letter from Rev. George J. Donahue of St. Au- Estine's parish:
 To the Editor of The Times Farmer.
 Sir:
 It Is evident-patnfully evident that one CD Carlos Morales has modestly injected himself into the To- cal school situation. He comes shouting peace, roaring friendliness and crying harmony. while the pitt less light discovers rlzors in his boots, knives in his belt and toma- hawks in his fists. He not only sees a painful want of resemblance be- tween the Master and me, but he also sees a deal of vileness in the family intimacies of Constantine who lived q mere fourteen centuries ago.
 Carlos incidently proves that peo- pie from Missouri not only need to be shown but see a great many things never discovered by anyone else. What beauty purity, perfec- ton, divinity. poetry and charm mod ern sun worshipers, like Carlos, dis cover in Christ just as soon as they think they see a bit of common hu- manity in a Roman Catholic priest! HOW ueNOuLly iOlGIaLlL SlCh IlpL-- Catholics are to each other so long as they know they are essentially in tolerant of Catholics.
 regret very much the personal conviction that Carlos is mere fiction and not a reality. I suspect he is 2 straw man. He cannot be located in the directory, which leads me to believe that he may be @ recent still born" conceived in the awful stiffness and silence that presently occupies the scholastic board and the fruit and flowers of Columbia. regret the non-existence of MT. Nor ales for his name pleads gently with any heart that loves literature. There is music in it. He recalls Spain, old Madrid, the Alhambra, MoOrs and Mosques. His very presence lends color to Bridgeport, for it is reminis- cent of tambourines. red sashes and castilian skies. simply cannot un- derstand why he was ever permitted to leave Missouri and the unbroken soitudes of the Ozark Mountains al

though I am delighted with his hid den presence in the public prints.
 He is, however prodigaI with his autobiography, which leads me to wonder if he were equally free with it during the recent days when drafts were breezing through the states. His detail about smoking was simply su- Derfuous as well as irrelevant A pipe in any condition or state is the creation of manly joys, but when q man thinks with the logic, the con- sistencv, the rhythmic consecutive ness of .r. Morales, it is plain that he is tn ftling at the end of a wheez- ing, succulent corn cob. Velvet Joe. himself, in his best moods, cannot prove an alibi for him.
 It may be a mere coincidence, but on the day of MT. Morales letter I had read the following from one of the numerous works of Cardinal Newman:
 This then, is what comes of the perpetual talk against Catholics. | does not become truer because it is incessant; but it continually deepeens the impression in the minds of those who hear it, that Catholicism is an inposture. I say, there is no in crease of logical cogency; a lie is a lie just as much the tenth time it is told as the first; or rather more it is ten lies instead of one; but it gains in rhetorical influence. Let it be re- peated again and again; it matters not; the utterer has only to go on steadily proclaiming II. and first one then another, will begin to believe it. and at length it will assume the shape of a very respectable fact CT opinion, which Is held by a consid- erabIe number of weII-informed per sons"
 Since 1t seems. however, that the English of Cardinal Newman is too classical to be comprehended by some of my listeners, may I quote the same idea from George Elliot:
 At the end of fifteen years the RaveIoe men said just the same things about Silas Marner as at the beginning: they did not say them quite so often, but they believed them much more strongly when they did say them."
 Meanwhile, the letter of Mir. Nor ales is another proof, clear and con- else, that some people love the dark ness while others, in all controversy always prefer the noon-day and the sunlight
 Respectfully yours,
