100. 900 People Greet Irish Leader
Epise0paIian Rector, Descendant
Of Ethan Allen, Speaks.

BOSTON. March 2S-Lord Mayor
Donal !. O'Callaghan of Cork, ireland,

more persons in Boston yesterday dur
ing a flying visit of SINE six hours, dur
ing which he was given luncheon, took
part in a parade. addressed 10000 in
Boston common and another audience OF
about 5000 that packed Mechanics
building.
The hall was crowded by an audience
of between 5000 and 10000, from which
not one dissenting voice was heard mt
any time, while the applause and cheer
ing which followed telling points by
speakers gave abundant proof that the
occasion was one on which all those OF
Irish descent or birth were in actual
agreement
The most thrilling moment was when,
Just before the speaking began, Mayor
O'Cailaghan entered the main entrance
of the hall and advanced up the center
aisle TO the stage, enclosed within n sort
of elongated hollow square comprised of
uniformed eX-Soldiers and sailors OF the
World war. each one of whom claSped
the hand of the man in front of and be-
hind him, conveying an idea OF mutual
fraternal devotion to a cause which
could not have been better expressed.
The audience simply yelleN lnaSort OF
delirium at sight of the picture till Mayor
O'Callaghan was seated on the stage
Then there was another ouJOurSI OF I'M
directed cheering, during which a band
played The Soldiers Song of Erin, and
after that came successfully three ire
mend0us cheers for the mayor and for the
man elected president of the Irish re
public De Valera.
The tricolor of the Irish republic was
visible all over the hall, in streamers
flags and big badges worn by men and
women, and one Of the big events of the
meeting was when Rev. Albert w. Allen
an Episcopal rector of Brooklyn, \. Y,
and descendant of the famous Ethan
Allen of the American Revolution, stirred
up a tempest Of applause by the asser
ton that the British, who had beer
driven from Boston on March II, 1776
by British guns captured by Ethan Al
lea, returned to prohibit the marching OF
American troops on that anniversary
this year behind an Irish flag. and that
it remains to drive the British forth
again on March Il. 1922.
Resolutions similar to those previously
adopted at the mass meeting on the com
mon, calling for recogntion of the Irish
republic by the United States govern
mcnt. were unanimously adopted.

home experiences the transforming
touch of mechanism. In fact, the new
American home is now discernible. It
is not the spacious ten or twelve room
domicile, thanked with ample grounds
and restfu1 trees, that the pioneers
knew. 1t is an efficiency home of one
room with concealed bed, restaurant
below and common nursery. Every
thing possible is given over to experts.
Dogs are disliked and children forbid
den.
American love Of ease now sits en-
throned in this compact, one room, eff
cheney home. MI. George believes that
Americans are virile folk, but he
thinks they have rebelled against over
work and personal service. The old
home has gone and the new one is just
arriving. We are today in the uncom-
Portable stage of transition.
The most important question is not
where Americans are, but in what di-
rection they are headed. Can Ameri-
cans pay too great price for ease and
comfort? Will stalwart race be
maintained, where so much is sacrific-
ed to minimize effort !? To seek COM
fort at the expense of greater values
may be fatal self-deception. -Minnea-

Breaking In.

slew the family next door. And | was
moved to honest tears when thus |
ended their careers, for they had never
done me wrong, and had known them
we'll and long. Remorse burned in me
like fire when | shot down the aged
sire, and plugged nephew and niece
and gave two aunts eternal peace, and
when I burned the residence it shocked
my fine esthetic sense. But | had tried
so many ways to break into the pic
ture plays! l chased the managers
around and begged them, while they
paved the ground, to give me just

But now the offers come my way-pD

A Daily Prayer.

Let me do my work each day; and
if the darkened hours of despair over
come me, may l not forget the
strength that comforted me in the
desolation Of other times. May still
remember the bright hours that found
me walking over the silent hills of my
childhood, or dreaming on the margin
of the quiet river, while light glow
ed within me, and I promised my ear
ly God to have courage amid the tenn
pests of the changing years. Spare
me from bitterness and from the
sharp passions of unguarded moments.
May I not forget that poverty and
riches are of the spirit. Though the
world know me not, may nay thoughts
and action be such as shall keep me
friendly with myself. Light my eyes
from the earth, and let me not forget
the uses of the stars. Forbid that
should Judge others lest | condemn
myself. Let me not follow the clamo1
of the world. but walk calmly in the
path. Give me friends that will love
me for what am; and keep ever burn
ing before my vagrant steps the kind
ly light of hope. And though age
and infirmity overtake me, and
come not within the sight Of the cas-
tie of my dreams, teach me still to be
thankful for life, and for times older
memories that are good and sweet
and may the evenings twilight fine
me gentle still.-Ehrmann.

ST. PAUL MANS TROUBLES END
AFTER TAKING TANLAC-FEELS
FINE ALL THE TIME.

"Tanlac has simply made a new
man of me and I now feel as strong
and can do my work with as much
vim as I could ten years ago." said
Albert Schmidt, employee of the st.
Paul Athletic Club, who lives at 225
West Seventh Street, St. Paul, Mimi.
II had been suffering from a stom-
ach trouble for two years or more and
Tanlac was the only thing ever got
hold of to give me relief.
I was told I was suffering from an
acid stomach. My digestion was poor,
my food would lie in my stomach like
lead and I would have such full,
bloated feeling that often would
have to fight for my breath. At other
times / would have pains in my back
over my kidneys that would almost
bend me double. I was tired and
WORKOUT all the time and | would al
most be driven wild by nervousness,

allow their names to be published re-
commencing Tanlac. The medicine
certainly deserves it and I am ready
to tell everybody it did, me more good
than all the other medicines l have

PARADISE WHILE

w. L. George, the English author,
reports that he has enjoyed nothing
so much as the mechanical civiliza-
ton it is building up. A door key
is cut while you wait, and a floor is
laid in trice. A barber shop is a
veritable Mohammedan palace. All is

sterilized brushes, scented ointments

Shampoos, vibrators and fitting chairs

Everything is done that can be done

American hotels provide the COM

not only have ticket offices and pool
rooms, but libraries and news stands
and Wallets who also serve because they
stand and wait. There are also flor

and physicians.

Faith Healer in
New Zealand
London Observer.

London observer.
Within the past few months or so
great interest has been aroused
throughout New Zealand, amongst
both the white and native population,
by a Maori, Tabu sWairemu Ratana,
who processes to be a faith healer, or
miracle man." Ratana is grand
son of Ratana Ngahina, who was one
of the three chiefs chosen to represent
New Zealand at the Commonwealth
celebrations. He possesses a fine
house and some 600 acres of land at
Ratana. Here he carries on his work
of faith healing, and during the past
II months he claims to have cured l.
900 Maoris of blindness, eye troubles,
paralysis, rheumatic fever, and other
diseases successfully and permanently
A Presbyterian by religion, Ratana
has always been a student of Holy
Scripture. "When light came" he
said, II found that God was using me,
and for the past II months | have been
the instrument in Gods hands of send
ing over 1000 Maoris back to their
homes cured of the ailments which
they brought here"
At Ratana's house there is a very
large hall, the walls of which are dec
Grated with dozens of crutches, cane
chairs, walking sticks, goggles, eye
glasses, ETC., all left behind by pa
tients as testimony to the healing pow
ers of Ratana. On shelves are hun
dreds of medicine bottles, filled with
physic prescribed by doctors for vari-
Gus ailments, but which have failed
to achieve results.
An important witness to the powers
of the miracle man" is Ngarangi
Katitia Broughton, who once contest
ed the, Western Maroi seat, but was
defeated. Lately he has suffered
from blindness, but through the sup
plications of Ratana he has, he says
regained his sight. Another Maori
cured was blind for % years. Ratana
who was formerly farmer, devotes
his time and his wealth-and he is
well-to this mission He entertains
and gives his services willingly, and
refuses to take any payment whatever
