Postmaster w. w. Pagan returned
this morning from the shrine of st.
Anne de Reaupre. Canada, where he
has been spending the past few days
on q vacation trip. 1t will be remem-
beEed by many local people that the
shrine of ST. Anne de Beaupre is
where many people have been cured
OF blindness, lameness, ETC., without
taking any form of medicine.
Mr. Pagan went to the shrine one
year ago this time suffering from an
illness which prevented him from
obtaining nights sleep. Previous
to going to the shrine Mr.. Pagan had
not had full nights sleep for about
two years. He went to the shrine
and after staying there the required
length of time, he returned to Ken
sington a cured man and was able
to sleep as we'll as a healthy person
Mr.. Pagan IS not the only member
OF his family to have been cured of
an illness at the shrine. About 20
years ago tho relic of St. Anne was
in New York church previous to
removing it to Canada. Word to that
effect was received here in Kensing-
ton and Mr.. Fagan's mother was
taken to New York She was a Grip
pie and 1T was necessary for her tc
go about in a wheel-chair if she cared
to around. She was taken to the
= depot in the chair and placed
on :, train. From here it was
necessary for her to be taken to the
reli- in a cab. After her visits tc
the relic she was able to walk with
out the assistance of anyone and was
cured
While at the shrine this year Mr.
Pagan said that he saw a man who
was paralyzed from his head dowr
and had been that way since 1905
He was never able to sit up. Hs was
placed in front of the shrine. In q
very short time he got up out of hi:
chair and was able to walk about
The cure, according to Mr.. Pagan
cannot be worked, however, if the
person does not have faith in it, II
seems as though it were hardly
believable until one has seen Il
worked or had the benefit of its mar
vels AS many Protestant people
visit the shrine to be cured as dc
the Catholics.
Recently a prominent Boston WON
an who was very wealthy but could
not see attended the shrine and after
three weeks she obtained her sight
Her husband could hardly believe II
was so AMI as there is no charge fol-

Japans reported desire to see come
into existence a triple understanding
between Japan, the United States and
Great Britain, if the Anglo-Japanese
alliance is to be discontinued, by the
issuance of a statement by Represent
alive Kotaro Mochizuki, leader of the
Japanese opposition, declaring that in
view of the probable success of the
Washington conference, there was
no need of renewing the Alliance.
The statement said, in part:
Let the alliance be effaced and
let us set up in it's place an under
standing between Great Britain, the
United States and Japan on Far
Eastern and Pacific problems.
"An Understandings no matter
what form expressed-reaffirming and
continuing in effect the provisions of
four agreements already existing,
namely, the gentlemans agreement of
1908 concerning China, the Japanese
American arbitration treaty of 1908
referring controversies to The Hague
tribunal, provided they have not been
bearing on vital interests and the in
dependence, or prestige, of the two
powers, and the Ishii-Lansing agree

Of Japan in China were recognized,

and the Washington conference was
about to settle the question of naval
burdens and questions pertaining to

One day not long ago there entered
the office Of a western business man
q friend who had been much intrigued
By an incident he had witnessed some
days before In that same Office.
"Jones, old top" said he, "that was
a queer conference you had with
Smith the other day. When 1 looked
In on you, both Of you were sprinting
round the office like two racers or two
prize fighters"
Jones frowned. "Well, you see," he
explained, "Im very well read in this
efficiency stuff, and l know, Of course,
that in an important conference you
must always have your back to the
light, so that your thoughts cannot be
read. But Smith, too, has been taking
an efficiency course, suppose. He
was certainly wise to that dodge.
Why, when we finally got down to
business we were both sitting on the
