titled by the telephone company, and
they were soon looking after their
stocks. The fire was hard to han
die, but by 9 o'clock in the morning 1t
appeared to be practically out. Smoke
was still issuing from the Club Cafe
basement, but it was believed there
was no more blaze.
Within half an hour after the blaze
in the Club Cafe had been. extin-
gnished, fire burst out in the Braten
store, from the walls and flooring. 1t
was apparent the fire had burned
through under the flooring of the
Club and the Braten store. 1t also
at this time broke through the floor
ing and walls Of the Speciality Shoe
Shop. From then on during the next
two hours the fire ate its way through
the entire building. It was beyond
control, and an appeal was made to
the Livingston, Belgrade and Man
haitian fire departments for help.
These responded promptly, and there
was soon twelve streams of water on
the fire. Chief Mjelde, of the Liv-
ingston fire department, took imme-
date charge of the men upon his ar
rival, and under his direction the fire
was soon under control.
A remarkable feature of Fridays
experience was the great amount OF
water used by the fire department
without reducing the pressure to any
extent, nor making it necessary tC
shut the water off from the resident
! district to insure a supply to fight
! the fire. Bozeman has a most re
markable water storage supply sys

Ernest Robertson died while work
ing in the coal bin in the basemen
of the Club Cafe. He had gone int
the basement to carry a line of hose
Some 20 minutes later Chief Alexan

basement searching for him, findini
the body lying on the coal. Alexan
der called for help, and j. B. Cain re

: Mr.. Robertson into the GaIlatin Dru
. Co. store. Efforts were made to re
vive him, but it was too late. Ply
sicians were called, and after maxim
examination stated Mr. Robertson ha
been dead for some time. The deaf
of Mr.. Robertson caused great gris
on the part of Chief Alexander, WI
himself was almost overcome, as W.
j. B. Cain, with the smoke. Bot
these men were taken to the hospit
for treatment, but were back aga
le on the scene of the fire within a fe

BANDIT GANG.

Fifty employees of the mint, sum-
n,oned by an alarm bell, grasped shot
guns and rushed to the doors and
windows of the mint, shooting at the
bandits, who returned their fire and
at the same time proceeded to load
the currency into their own car.
Fusilades of shots ripped their way
through buildings across the street
from the mint and spat against the
granite walls Of the mint building as
the guards and bandits exchanged
shots.
The four members Of the federal re-
serve bank crew engaged in the trans
fer Of the funds, consisting Of j. E,
Olson, cashier of the bank, Charles
Linton, J. Adams and William Saven-

mended that committees be sent to

Mr.. Conser stated that some were
of the belief that because a man had
been elected to the legislature he was
beyond the point where he should be
advised. This, he stated, vas wrong,
because the members of the legislat-

HEAD OF HIS CLASS.

William CASTOR, LII. d., one of
Americas most famous jurists, was
judge of the supreme court of North
Carolina from 1S33-1S44. He was a
devout Catholic. In his life we read
the following account:
When young CASTOR was about
eight years old, even then remarkable
for his clevernesss schoolmate who
was rather dull said to him:
William, why is it that you are
always at the head of the class and 1
am always at the foot?"
There's a reason" replied William,
wisely, ''but if l tell you, you must
promise to keep it secret and do as
l do" .....
The dull boy agreed and promised.
Whenever take up my book to
study" little William explained then,
Il first say little prayer my moth
er taught me, that l may be able to
learn my lesson" He then tried to
make the dull boy memorize the pray
err but failing, promised to write it
out for him at home. That night,
wishing to keep his action secret, Viii.
liam got into corner and wrote the
prayer for Jimmy. His mother no.
ticed him, and because she would new.
er, on principle, have the children con.
ceal anything from her, babe him tell
what he was doing. She had only
words of praise and encouragement
for him when he confessed his act OF
charity.

SIR BASIL AND THE FALCON.

Sir Basil, a brave knight, was very
tired on one occasion, having hunted
the entire day. The falcon that rest
ed on his wrist was tired, too; and
SO the knight, when he sat down to
rest, released the bird.
There was crystal stream of wa
ter issuing from a rock near by, and
Sir Basil, making cup of the bugle
he wore, filed it from the spring and
would have carried it to his lips, but
the falcon, with sudden spring,
dashed it from his hands. Again he
filed the cup and again the falcon
prevented him from drinking it.
Enraged at this. he cried: 81 will
wiring thy neck if thou dost that
again." He filled the cup third time,
and third time the falcon threw it
to the ground At this, Sir Basil
struck his feather friend and it fell
dead. Then, looking up, the knight
saw that a large serpent was drop
ping venom from its fangs into the
spring. The falcon saved my life,'
said the knight, sadly, "and l have
deprived him of his!" x4 81
We often rebel when some cup is
withheld from our lips, not knowing
! that it is kept from us out of the
purest love, unaware of what is good
for us, or, like Sir Basil, enraged
with him who would instruct us and
save us.

WAS IN ST. PAUL.

Mother Mary Paul, Superior of the
Maryknoll Sisters in China, and FIVE of
her Sisters. passed through St. Paul,
Mimi, some few months ago on their
way to China. They constituted the first
band of Maryknoll Sisters to depart
for the foreign field. The enclosed
letter was written to a young lady
who was kind to them on the occasion
of their visit here.
Dear Miss B.:
Your beautiful Christmas card with
your greeting reached us safely and
it gave pleasure. A remembrance is
always welcome, but when it comes to
far away land, it is particularly so.
I'VE trust that your own Christmas was
bright with the joy and peace of Beth
lehem.
Our first Christmas in China was a
very happy one-happier, in a sense,
than any one at home. Everyone at
home and here was very good to us
and in addition, the joy of the apostle.
late was a sensible one that day. We
had midnight Mass in our own little
| chapel which, in many respects, is
truly Bethlehem. Then, too, we had
a tiny crib and it gave the Christmas
touch for which we longed To some
it may have. seemed very crude be-
cause the Infant was so tiny and the
excelsior box packing so poor, but i,
made us happy. We had, later in the
day, our first Benediction and we felt
that we were really "at home" in
lChina.
We have been studying the language
and it is not the easiest thing in the
world. The morning class is giver
to phrases which are the most elusive
lthingsNI have ever tried to fasten il
my brain. There are the tones, too
which scamper madly up and dowr
the scale and won't "stay put" in my
head. 1t is very funny when we tr.
to make a Chinaman understand us
We scamper for our phrase book ant
then struggle, and he meets us will
a benign smile. We have lots of ful
with each others Chinese and will
Chinese itself in which there is n,
, lpretense at grammar. l would fin,
it easier if there was, because thel
could pin some few things to rul
and know where am at
Keep us in your prayers. We shoul'
be glad indeed to feel that you ar
giving us three Hail Mary's each day
Be assured that we shall not forge
lyou nor your kindness to us. May tn
New Year be happy one!
Il Faithfully in Christ,
