The most a;na:lns story of many love affairs, stretching across the Continent and sometimes carried on simultaneous ly In different cities, will be told on Thursday at the Inquest of Walter J.

He has been successively Jockey, racetrack tout, bartender, fair man ager, gambler and sporting writer and aeems to have pusses .''! himself of a new wife or affinity almost every year since he reached maturity.

A few minutes later the two little girls rounding tho chimney cor ner saw them Gray on top and .Tason writhing and biting- under him Irke a tortured snake. A moment more Jdavls strong little hand had the stranxer boy by his thick hair, and Mavis, feeling her arm. clutched by the stranger-girl, let go and turned on her like a fury.. There was a pierc ing scream from Marjorie. hurried footsteps answered on the porch and old Jason and the Colonel looked with bewildered eyes on the little blue rra.il girl amazed. Indignant, white with horror. Mavis shrinking away from her as though she were the one who had been threatened with a blow; the stranger-lad with a bitten thumb clenched in the hollow of one hand, bis face already reddening with con trition and shame, and savage little Jason biting a bloody lip and with the lust of battle still shaking him from head to foot. -Jason." said the old man sternly, whuts the matter out hyeh?" Marjorie pointed one finger at Mavis, started to speak and stopped. Jason's eyes fell. "Not h In'." he said sullenly, and Colo, nel Pendleton looked to his son with astonished Inquiry, and the lad's fine face turned bewildered and foolish. "I don't know, sir." he said at last. "Don't know?" echoed the Colonel. Well " ' The old man broke In: "Jason, if you have lost yo- manners an" don't know how to behave when thar's strangers around. I reckon you'd better go on home. The boy did not lift his eyes. OUR CITIES ARE -DEFENDED V herein New America lias Much to Teach Old Kinplre. , tfcribner's. New York C!ty alone secures a larger revenue from land values than do the much-heralded "unearned Increment" taxes of all the cities of Germany and all the taxes of the revolutionary I.lod George budget of 19')9 com bined. The total collections of New ork City from this source amount to approximately $60. COO. 000 a year. I think It may fairly be claimed that wa have made more prowresa In local tax ation than have any cities of the world. It mist be remembered, too. that many activities of the American city are efficiently performed, our library systems are models. In this we have been pioneers. The rapid develop ment of public and private libraries, the extension of branches, the opening of reading-rooms and library centers, the use of pictures and children's de partments show the possibilities of our municipal democracy wt.cn the laws of the state permit It to grow as It will. Commissions come to America to study our library methods. Just as com missions go from this country to Ku roie to study their municipal achieve ments. The park systems of our cities are of the same high order. our de velopment In recent ear lus been phenomenal. Not only are our parks generous In area, but thy have bn laid out by experts in a far-sighted way. The Boston system Is said to be the most comprehensive of any In the world, while those of Chicago.

Brethren Told to He-tote Time to Sunday School and Not Ie canl Against Catholics. rOHTLAND. April 13. (To the Edi tor.) It was with mingled feelings of sorrow ani nisgusi mi t resolution framed by the Willamette j tsapusi Association, nj iici iin thors hope to "awaken their co-rell-gionlsts to the political encroachments of the Catholic hierarchy upon the civil and religious liberties of our Govern ment" and spur them on to the "use of all honorable means to protect our rights as a Nation." lien whose profession binds them In a special way to the love of truth and the practice of charity, tako upon their onsclenres a heavy responsibility when .hey thus deliberately and with the full weight of their ministerial Influ ence, ae-k'to lead their followers to embrace, the malicious delusion that the Catholic Church la a menace to belr civil ani religious liberties. I a-ould respectfully remind the members of this association that they are sadly out of'jolnt with their owu times and the ht'torv of their own country when, with strutting insolence, they talk of -our Government." as If the Catholics here were all aliens and not as much the llfrhlood and patriotism of the Na lon as this school of bigotry whose del iberations Issued this defamatory reso lution. If the Baptist brethren of the Willamette Association are milling to profit by the alarming Jeremlai of their own' outspoken C. H. Llhby. they will do m-ell to leave off their rancorous resolving" against the Catholic hier archy and devote their fruitful efforts to the rehabilitation of their Sunday schools. It Is with the "encroachments' of the devil, "who goes about as a roar ing lion, seeking those whom he may devour." that these vigilant shepherds should be concerned, as It strongly ap pears that tUe lambs of their fold are In Imminent and Increasing danger. If. as Mr. Llbby asserts, and with the, as sumed approval of ' out of every 100 Baptist teachers." the typical Baptist Smday school boy is "diorderly, rude and discourteous," and If. which seems tt be a superfluous admission, their fSunda -school methods are a failure, surely these sued ministers have a .. .SZJi?tt HARMS. more Immediate work at hand than casting sinister and strife-provoking reflections upon the Catholic hierarchy. It Is happily and unquestionably true that the Catholic Church Is making progress under the Stars and Stripes, but it is not true to describe- her steady advance as encroachments upon the "civil and religious liberties of our Government." True, liberty Is born of moral rectitude and spiritual enlight enment. A man enjoys liberty when he lives In the secure possession of his rights. A man. however, secures hli rights only when those about him dis charge their duties to him. It Is the mission of the Catholic Church and the hierarchy through which she energises to make men dutiful, virtuous, religious and law-abiding. With these ends in view, she builds her own Christian nchools, that she may rescue her chil dren from the blighting plague of irre llglon and indifference and teach them life's great business, the saving of their Immortal souls. The business of sal vation means the formation of Christ In childish mind and conscience. It means keeping the commandments, re spect for legitimate authority. In fam ily, state and church: it means definite convictions aa to the sacredness of marriage and the responsibilities aris ing therefrom: In fine. Catholio train ing means good citizens for this world and for the world to come. When men seek the kingdom of God the temporal blessings of National well- being are added unto them, so harmo niously has God blonded our temporal with our eternal Interests. In the light of the church's distinct and emphatic teaching. In the light of American Catholic history. In the full face of her majestic proportions and splendid serv ice, it Is hard to account for the malig nant impulse that prompted a body or ministers to frame so Injurious a reso lution. If theee Baptist ministers choose to look upon the political preferment which some Catholic may have fairly obtained as an "encroachment of the Catholic hierarchy." I wonder what euphemism they employ to designate their own machinations In theJr pulpits and out of them with a view to politi cal domination. I suppose our liberties, both civil and religious, are to be en trusted with filial docility to the gen try of the Willamette Association, and that the 15.000,000 Catholics of this country should behave like corpses In the conduct of this democratic and rep resentative Government. The Catholics of this country will al ways endeavor to secure for themselves a weight and Influence In the affairs of our Government proportionate to their numerical strength. As self-respecting men they cannot bo content with less, and as fair-minded men they will never ask for more. But the gov ernmental influence which Catholics may be called upon to wield, aa tima goes on. and their numbers increase and bigotry dies away, will not be sub versive of our liberties. The history of Catholic Maryland, and. nearer home, the biography of the great pioneer con vert. I'r. John McLoughlin. are both eloquent testimonies to the eordlal good will and kindly fraternallsm which characterizes the tine Catholic in his dealings with Ms non-Catholic fellows. And more than that. It Is generally con ceded by the enlightened and thought ful men of our country that the Catho lic Church Is the one Institution which our country possesses, endowed with moral power sufficient to make her the Nation's Impregnable bulwark against the Incoming tide of materialistic an archy. It wss a Protestant minister who said recently that the Catholic Church was the cement which was hold ing our civilisation together. There are many outside the Catholic Church who would Indorse this clergyman's opinion. I commend It to the calm con sideration of the Willamette Associa tion. So let the members of this Baptist bodv forget the Catholic hierarchy and devote themselves more assiduously to the "encroachments" of the evil ono and the needs of their Sunday scnoois. A year of zealous effort along the lines so franklv pointed out by their good monitor. Mr. Libby. mill doubtless Im prove the methods of their schools and ameliorate somewhat the rudeness, dis order and discourtesy of their preco cious offsprings. KATI1ER GEORGK THOMPSON.
