ILL'O ME 5 ACRE ? q f , I, i ,'i ii m i mm aa.ni ii ' CATME.DRAL f 5ACRE. COEUR, PARIS WHAT fatality overhangs tbe bill of Montmartre? might be asked at this time, when events seem likely to Inter fere with tbe consecration of the Church of Sacre Coeur. Octo ber 17 was the day chosen for tbU ceremony, and this Is thirty-nine years after tbe beginning of tbe building. This ante Is the fete-day of Marie Marguerite, who heard voices com manding her to build a church on the top of Montmartre. Louis XVI formed In prison the pious Intention to carry out the behests of the voices, but the scaffold robbed him of tbe chance. Napoleon bad a more secular Idea and proposed building there temple where each successive peace might be proclaimed, but he never ceased warring, says a writer in the Literary Digest It was the events of 1870-71 that di rected tbe Catholic mind to tbe proj ect and caused Its consideration by tbe national assembly. L'nder a Paris date the London Times prints the following: "Pious people at Poitiers wished to Invoke tbe protection of God by erect ing temple to bis worship in Paris. Momentarily allowed to lapse, the Idea was taken up by Catholics In Paris. Tbe difficulty was to establish com munication with tbe outside world, for the city was Invested. Balloons were tried, the pigeon-post, and even the bribery of secret agents; but all failed, and It was not until tbe Commune bad added It horrors to the war that the enterprise took practical shape. "The war minister wanted the site for a fort; but, better Inspired, Mgr. Gulbert, the cardinal archbishop of Paris, cried: 'Your fort will do no good and may be turned against you. lletter build my citadel than yours' Whothcr or not he was moved by the argument, the minister gave up his project, and, on July 23. 1873, the na tlonal assembly authorized the pur chase of land for the church and even permitted tbe cardinal to proceed by expropriation. Tbe lane malnrii. which supported the bill shows bow feeling In parliament has since chanted on questions of church and state. Byzantine Architecture.

"Slowly tbe domes and campanile and tbe cluster of Hi tie chapels arose on the Mount or Martyrs near in. deed, to the spot where, according to tbe legend. 8t.

"The great bronze doors have late ly Deen put In; the paving Is scarcely finished, and some of the altars, be speaking tbe devotion of different parts of France, are still unbuilt. In Its present state the huge white build ing, under its Imposing dome, has cost 1,600,000. This Is precisely the sum which Napoleon proposed to spend on his temple of peace. It has been tbe aim of those who have founded the church, to address themselves to all classes of society, and tbe-same spirit prevails today In tbe great Sunday services, at which from 1,500 to 2.000 men are present In the nave. These worshipers are drawn from every sec tion of the community; academicians and officers of the army and navy ell side by side with artlzans, small shop keepers, and the very poor. The Church of the Sacred Heart has no parish attached to It; It Is a place of pilgrimage, and scarcely a day passes without some band of pilgrims climb ing the sides of the mount In the evening, lights glimmer from the sum mit of the rock upon which Is perched this symbol of 'Gallia poenltens et devota. FEASTS DEAR TO MEMORY Creek Chief Recalls Festivities That Were of Moment In the Days of His Youth. Here are the good old days as re lated by Jake Simmons, a fullblood Creek Indian, former chief, council man and lawmaker of his tribe. Ht referred to the days when palefaces were scarce In old Indian territory, when the Creeks held sway In Musko gee and Okmulgee counties. Mr. Sim mons marketed a bunch of cattle In Kansas City the other day from hit 1.800 acre farm, 900 acres of which art under cultivation. His oats crop thli year averaged 60 bushels to tbe acre. Hut it was not of crops he wanted to talk. It was the "Feast of Roost Ing Kara" that took the Indian's mind back to the old days. "Just about this time of tbe year,' said Mr. Simmons, according to tb Kansas City Star, "our tribe gathered for the feast from the new corn. Tht preliminaries were to take large doses of medicine so our eating capacity would be enlarged. Then followed roasted, baked, dried and salted corn baked with young venison, pralrtt chickens and young turkey, togethei with fish and young roast pig. Tht feast lasted as long as appetite and disposition to hang around remained and then each one drifted back to bit own tepee. "The big cattle trails from Texas northeast went through our country and we traded with the cowmen. Each year In October we held our councils In Okmulgee. There our laws were made and tribal business transacted. Our law for theft was 50 lashes fot the first offense, 150 lashea for tht second offense and death by shooting for tbe third art. Our tribe laws were more strictly obeyed then than out "Hut the old days have passed," continued Mr. Simmons, "and we art now on a progressive agricultural basis. We raise and fatten cattle and nogs, live in nouses line the paleface wire rences neage us in; deer. turk and other game are getting scare. When we eat the new corn It la wltb ouiier ana asu, ana rrom a reanU tlon table, but I always remember thi open, tbe shade of the trees, the call of tbe turkey, the campflre and I feel use latins my snare and eating I out uuuvr mv irera.
