►SIS RARE RECOVERY.
I OUR LADY ©F LOURDES INVOKED IN
B&HALF OF* A BOY.
L Yeung Murphy Is Said to Have Been Cored
I . ’ibr the Holy Water—An Ajred Monk the
g I Agent Through Which He Was Healed.
I The Boy's Regard For Him.
F The friends and relatives of little
■James Murphy. 15 years old, son. of
■ Jeremiaif Murphy, the well known pork
■ -packer of St. Louis, are deeply stirred
over the rapid and phenomenal recov
ery of the boy from what was believed
■oy all of them to have been a mortal
The boy’s mother is confident that
.her son has been restored to her through
the miraculous intercession of “Our La
» d - v f Lourdes, ” and Rev. Brother Ar
f nold, the venenable friend and counsel
j or of the boy, is delighted with what
I he believes fa be tlmdirect intervention
■ -of the Virgin to save his young friend’s
J life.
r A few weeks ago young Murphy, who
I is a student at the Christian Brothers’
k Ollege, rode part of the way home in
one of his father’s wagons. As he near-
B i ed home he attempted to leap from the
■ back of 4he wagon, but at the same
■r the vehicle turned out of the
* «|reet car track in which it was run
ning, and young Murphy was thrown
L violently to the ground; He alighted
k on his head and was carried unconscious
I into his home. - Dr. Frank A. Temm and
I Dr. Robert O’Reilly ere hastily sum
■ moned, and it 'was found that the lad
I was suffering from a violent concussion,
k with every indication of a fractured
■ skull.
The most prompt and heroic measures
■ known to modern surgery were applied,
f but the doctors realized from the start
I that the lad’s chances for recovery were
y very problematical and warned the
Bl heartbroken parents of the gravity of
K their son’s condition. All visitors were
M excluded, and the disconsolate family,
■ fearing the worst, clung to each word
► of hope from the doctors and carried out
f their instructions to the letter.
The Christian Brothers, at whose col
-17 lege the injured boy had been a stu
' dent, called almost daily, but they were
I refused admission to the sickroom be
-oaase of the orders of the doctors that
t no one be permitted to disturb the boy.
I Among the many who called daily to
■ ask for the lad none was more persist-
T ent than Venerable Brother Arnold. He
has been a close friend of the lad, and
! every day his bowed form and kindly
face bore messages of hope and consola
tion to the Murphy home. But even he
> was denied admission to the boy’s bed
side until finally the devout mother,
fearing that her boy might die without
the consolations of his religion, acceded
to Brother Arnold’s often repeated re
quest and permitted the old man to see
, the boy.
No sooner had he taken the lad’s al
most pulseless hand and sat beside him
in the dim room than the boy recogniz
, ■ed him by a faint pressure of the hand.
Brother Arnold then produced a vial of
the holy water of Lourdes, and after
uttering words of comfort to the pa
tient sprinkled the water upon his head
and recited the prayers invoking the
aid of the Virgin. The boy’s mother
j who stood silently watching the odd
I acene, says that the good effect of the
I -old monk’s prayers was quickly appar
-ent, and the light of reason and almost
k, happiness came back into her son’s eyes,
i. After a few silent prayers and a word
' -ot. encouragement to the boy Brother
I Arnold left his bedside. The next mom-
L j ing when the doctors called they wObe
F -surprised at the marked and sudden im-
L pr«vemeut of their patient, but the anx-
B ious mother, fearing a reprimand, did
F ..not tell them that she had permitted a
ffe -visitor to her son’s sickroom.
! Brother Arnold continued to call with
b 3>i» precious water of Lourdes, and with-
H in a week young Murphy was able to
I «it up. The doctors were agreeably sur
! prised at their patient’s sudden rally
I and attributed it to natural causes, aid-
I', ed by the scientific and unceasing atteu-
I* tion which they had given the case from
■e; th* start.
I Dr. Temm was very much surprised
I', -to learn that Brother Arnold had been
“visiting his patient, and he very modest
|| ly refrained from taking any credit for
® the boy’s recovery.
j Dr. Temm was recently asked if he
B -discredits the theory that the boy was
■ -cured by ® supernatural agency.
B “I do not wish to discredit anything
jB or anybody. I know, as every observ-
B ing man knows, that the power of faith
B is not to be despised. It is comfort, hope
I .-and strength for those who believe.
f When the life of a devout person is in
I th? balance, its influence is positive. It
R is not the function of any doctor to scoff
B-afc-Btw!*. influences. They have nothing
v in common with the hysterical vapor-
Bs ings of fake ‘scientists.’ The confi-
I dence inspired by religious faith might
* turn the balance where medicine failed.
I .It is not an unheard of phenomenon.”
I Brother Arnold takes no credit to
| himself for the alleged miraculous work
I <of the water. He is a studious and pious
I old man, whose face is brimming with
► jgood natured smiles.. He is notably
ft fond of children and is never so happy
gi «s when surrounded by troops of small
I. boys, to whom he recites the stirring
*B «torieq of his long and eventful life.
■ James Murphy, who had so narrow
I an escape from death, is the second son
Murphy. He returned to
B /School a few days ago and, beyond the
■ loss of some weight and color, is appar
® ently none the worse for his experience.
■ Young Murphy has a deep rooted but
I unspoken conviction that his recovery
ft was by the agency of the water of
jraourdes, and his .regard for Brother
raArnold now amounts to veneration.—

Not an Official After AV
One day a postoffice official, happen
ing to be passing through a government
office with which he was connected, saw
a man standing before a fire reading a
newspaper. Hours afterward, returning
the same way, he was shocked to find
the same man, lege extended before the
same fire, still absorbed in the contents
of a newspaper.
“Hello, sir!” cried the indignant
head of the department “What are
you doing?”
“Can’t you see what I am doing?”
was the answer.
"Sir, I came through this office four
hours ago and found you reading the
paper. I return, and you are still wast
ing your time in the same manner. ”
“Very true. You have stated the case
to a nicety. ”
Hereupon the head of the department
naturally fired up.
“What’s your name, sir?”
“Well, I don’t know that my name is
any affair of yours. What is your
name?’ ’
“Sir, I would have you know that I
am the so-and-so of the postoffice. ”
“Indeed! Well, lam very glad to
hear it. 'lam, sir, simply one of the
public, a mere item who has been wait
ing here for four hours for an answer to
a simple question, and I should be much
obliged if you would use your influence
to get me attended to.”—Strand Maga

Positive Pboof
A lady friend of mine has for several
years been troubled with bumps and
pimples on her face and neck, for which
she used various cosmetics in order to
remove them and beautify and improve
her complexion; but these local appli
cations were only temporary, and left
her skin in worse condition.
I recommend an internal preparation
—known as Botanic Blood Balm, (B. B.
B. ), which I have been using and selling
about two years; she used three bottles
and all pimples have disappeared; her
skin is soft and smooth and her general
health much improved. She expresses
herself much gratified, and can recom
mend it to all who are thus affected.

European Economies.
To an American, accustomed to the
loose methods and wasteful habits of
her country and people, there are few
things more interesting and genuinely
amazing than the thrift, the economies,
the ways of European households. Mrs.
C. , we will say, has taken a furnished
house in London. She considers herself
a good manager at home. She is deter
mined not to be cheated abroad. She
gets up in the morning, and, finding the
day chilly, she decides to order coal and
kindling. She gives an order according
ly that makes her coal merchant lout
low and smile with brown sugared
sweetness, while her cook stares, and,
if she be an honest woman, cries out:
“All that, mem? Wherever shall we
put ’em? Whatever shall we do with
’em?” She fears that she has made a
mistake, having plenty of American
cleverness and adaptability. She re
scinds half the order. The tradesman’s
face is a study now. His expression
changes wonderfully, and so does his
manner. The barometer has stood at
“servile” and “obsequious. ” It drops
to “civil disgust” toward her, while he
flings a look of hatred at cook as he
leaves the room, which being interpreted
means: “You fool, you miserable mar
plot, what do you get by being so idiotic
as to have a conscience? Why didn’t
you let her give a big drder and steal
nobly and get your commission?” But
Mrs. C. does not understand this at alt

How to Prevent PLenmOtiia.
At this time of the year a cold is very
easily contracted, and if left to run its
course without the aid of some reliable
cough medicine is liable to result in that
dread disease, pneumonia. We know of
no better remedy to cure a cough or cold
than Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy.
We have used it quite extensively and
it has always given entire satisfaction.
—Olagah, Ind. Ter. Chief.
This is the only remedy that is known
to be a certain preventive of pneumonia.
Among the many thousands who have
used it for colds and la grippe, we have
never yet learned of a single case having
resulted in pneumonia. Persons who
have weak lungs or have reason to fear
an attack of pneumonia, should keep
the remedy at hand. The 25 and 50

My One Desire.
I seek not plutocratic &aiii
Nor plenitude of sordid wealth
Nor over seas or land would fain
Engage in travel “for my health.”
No hankering for valorous deeds
Os which 1 would the hero bo
Disturbs iny thought, and yet my needs
Seem comprehensive to me.
t
I do not long for lofty fame
Nor yet to scale Parnassian height.
There are some points that mako the same
Fall short of unimpaired delight.
I do not care fdr pompous state
And all its panoply of power.
My humble wish is more sedate
And titling to the present hour.
As day by day the heartless chill
Os winter thrills u.y veiy bones
1 concentrate my wish and will
On one desire: With ardent tones.
Which I would not make overbold,
I speak, deep in my quaking throat.

Kot os the Playbill.
“The funniest thing I ever saw in the
line of business?” echoed the leading
theatrical manager of Detroit. “It was
right here in this city,'and I actually
laughed till they had to call a doctor to
take the kinks out of my ribs. Os course
this will handicap the story, for I can
never make the incident appear as ridic
ulous as it was.
“We were having a corking show
and a big rush at the Whitney Grand.
One night, shortly before 8 o’clock,
while the house was filling rapidly a
large young man came from the inside
and asked permission of the doortender
to go out.
“‘Well,’ began the man on guard,
who is a born jollier, ‘it’s against the
rules of the house to permit any one to
leave after occupying a seat, but you
look liko a reliable citizen, and I’m half
disposed to mako an exception in your
case; but I am not certain that you’ll
come back.’
“Though evidently a‘Rube, ’ in the
parlance of the profession, the fellow
had the assurance of a crossroads oracle.
‘Oh, I’ll bo back all right enough !’ he
said cheerily. ‘You needn’t worry a
minute about me. ’
“‘I don’t know about that. If I was
only sure. ’ And the joker kept a per
fectly straight face.
“‘I toll you, I’m square,’declared
the fellow, with a flourish. ‘Here! If
you don’t want to take my word for it,
here’s this watch and chain for security
that I’ll show up before the show be
gins. ’
“He positively handed over the jew
elry a% a substantial evidence of his
good faith; just as though we cared
whether we ever saw him again. ”—De
' troit Free Press.
A H bole Man,
A mßn
y.j s another name
for a healthy
yj man. One of the
J • prime essentials
of health is clean
liness. The first
step in this direc
tion is a clean
/v i B kin. '-this fact is
W known. Not
Y \ t only should the
’ ™ outside of the
body be perfectly clean; but the interior
of the body as well. Clean teeth, clean
mouth, clean throat, clean nasal pas
sages, are all requisites of perfect
health. The whole body, as well as
every orgah in the body, is lined with
mucous membrane, which is even more
liable than the skin to become very
dirty. The most frequent cause of un
clean mucous membrane is catarrh.
Catarrh creates unnatural secretions,
even though the oatarrh be very slight.
In this condition good health is impos
sible.
Dr. Hartman has made a specialty of
treating chronic catarrh for nearly 40
years. His great remedy (Pe-ru-na) i as
become known throughout the United
States and Canada It is certainly the’
best, and probably the only effective in
ternal remedy for chronic catarrh. Its
cures are permanent. The Doctor is also
the author of many books on ohionic
oatarrh. His latest book on the subject
will be sent free for a short time by The

Alcibittdes of Athens.
Alcibiades was an excellent represent
ative of the young Athenians of his
time. He was witty, eloquent, full of
generous impulses, luxurious, unscrupu
lous and absolutely without reverence.
His character was full of contradictions.
Alcibiades was the most beautiful
youth in Athens. He had wealth, an
cient family and powerful friends. He
fairly bewitched the people. His doings
were the town talk, and once he cut off
the tail of his beautiful dqg, for which
he had paid over SI,OOO, saying that if
the people did not have the mutilation
of his dog to talk about they might be
saying worse things about him.
He lived lavishly and wantonly, and
after he had wasted most of his proper
ty he married a rich wife, Hipparete,
daughter .of Hipponicus, who in time
became justly indignant at his way of
life and left him. She sought a divorce,
but in order to obtain this she had to
apply in person to the chief magistrate.
As she was on her way to the.office her
husband seized her and carried her by
force to his home, where she remained
with him until her death.
Alcibiades came to a violent death.
He was on his way to Babylon to the
court of the great king when enemies
set fire to his dwelling by night, and he
was killed as he leaped through the
flames. No country ever suffered or
gained more from the changing for
tunes of a single person than Athens
from the‘fortunes of Alcibiades.—St.
Louis Republic.
