Just then Hal arrived from

Ruth spoke up:
Il hear Nell Marshall is on her

night at the foot of the hill.
Must have seemed like old times
for you to meet her there, Hal.
Every one in town used to find
both of you there about five
o'clock every afternoon when you
were in the city. How did she
like being interrupted by your
wife?"
Nell seemed to be pleased, !"
said Hal, composedly. "She told
Alicia she was going to love her
in the future instead of me-"

Toxic, April 29. An incident
connected with the departure of
the crown prince of Japan for for
eign lands not generally known,
but now carefully filed away in

The prince was giving fare

food, the ambassadors, ministers
and charges stood outside the

the coveted short informal con-

MISUNDERSTANDING YEAR IN
 VALUE OF MINERAL PRODUCTS

The Geological Survey Department of the Interior, has published it's pre- liminary summary of Mineral Re- sources for the calendar year 1920, a pamphlet of 123 pages, which records for that year as the value of the mine ral products of the country the as founding total of s6,7O7 900, 900. This value is 20 per cent greater than that of the former record year, 1918, and 45 per cent. greater than that of 1913.
 The salient features of the mineral industry in 1920 are set forth in the short introduction. Many of the figures are preliminary and some are esti- mates, bat the cooperation of those en- gagged in the mineral industry and the long experience of the Geological Sur very in this work give assurance that the estimates represent very nearly the actual production.
 The summary gives in compact form general tables showing the quantity and value of the domestic output of seventy or more mineral products in 1919 and 1920 and the total value of all minerals, by years, since 1880. It also shows the leading minerals Gin value) for each State and the leading States in the production of each mineral, as well as the total value of the minerals imported and exported during the last two calendar years.

DETENTION OF PURGAroRY
 IS EXPLAINED BY PRIEST

'The noblest of. human instincts, the sweetest of Christian charaties," was what Rev. M. H. May, rector of St. Pat rick's church called pity, when. during his sermon at the high mass Sunday. he spoke of the consoling doctrine of the Catholic church that the living can help the dead through prayer and good works. Father May was referring to the coming this week of All Souls Day. Nov. -'2nd. Although the church sets aside the entire month of November to pray for and honor the dead, on this special day there are masses for the repose of their souls and petitions that those detained from the presence of God in eEpiation of venial sin may be speedily released.
 In the Creed, Catholics declare, T be- lieve in the communion of saints,' This means that the church militant on earth, the church suffering in Purgatory and the church triumphant in Heaven are one in fellowship Holy Scripture warns us that nothing defled can enter the pres ence of the Most HigA; the same Scrip ture assures us that weak and sinful man | falls seven times daily; hence the soul hurried out of this life with even the slightest blemish of sin upon it cannot join the elect until after detention, pur- gation, cleansing. These imprisoned souls call out to their friends on earth, | in the appealing words of Job, Have pity upon me, have pity upon me at least you. my friends. for the hand of the Lord hath touched me !",
 It is the consoling teaching of the church that, although helpless themselves they can be aided by the pious prayers | the good works of their friends; that the offering for their benefit of the Hol, Sacrifice of the Mass in commemoration O the Saviour's death upon the cross fol
 sinners. will be accepted by mercifu God in expiation for their misdeeds. Freet
 from their exile from eternal happiness it stands to reason that once released from Purgatory, enabled to see their Got
 face to face, in their gratitude, they vii
