Often we have read and heard of “miraculous” cures and have failed to be impressed. There must be some mistake, was our thought. We did not know the person cured; we did not know anyone who knew him; we did not know anyone who had seen the *miracle."” 0 But this tale brings an impressive- ness that can be brushed aside by no such general expressions of disbelief. ‘We do know one of the persons who saw the cure and we cannot doubt the accuracy of her account. The young man was carried up to the shrine of St. Anne de Beaupre. “He | had a palr of crutches with him and had been able to propel himself along | only by placing both crutches under his arms and swinging his two feet forward. His rght arm was useless, while his left arm was partly par- alyzed.. When the young man had been, brought to the aitar, the relic of 8t. Anne was placed on his afflicted members. In a space of about 10 min- utes he was seen to rise, place his crutches: against the railing, * turn around, lift his two arms high over his head and walk down the aisle of the church.,” Thus reads the au- thentlc: report, and it is added that the man was not of the Catholic faith, but possessed the faith that he would be cured by prayer. No appeal is made to the supersti- tious, the credulous. The story is re- peated to stfengthen the conviction.of men, wise in their knowledge of their own ignorance, humble in their sin- cere bélief that there are wonders as yet far beyond human understanding. THINGS CHILDREN LEARN # Probably the most inoffensive way to accomplish something worth while 1s to state facts and allow each person to make his or her own deductions from such statements. When any event or any series of events are noted that suggest something that has im- pressed the observer, it is worth while to mentlon those events. Possibly im- pressions will be made on other people. It has been stated in these columns | that the men who frequent “rescue | missions” in the great citles are usual- | ly first drawn into them by hearing | the old hymns they learned when they | were children. No matter how low these men have sunk, the strains of | those old songs brings back memories | at which they can not scoff. ThP)’i hover about the lights of the missions | for a long time, entering just to sing | those songs, and often drifting out before any “‘preaching’” is done. They are men whom the world has treated harshly. Many deserved harsh treatment; some have not. But often, beginning with the singing of those hymns, they form the habit of maining. And then, comes brighter lite. In this city a certain group of boys have occasion often to ask for “lifts” in automobiles. The owners of the cars know most of the lads by sight at least, and the requests are not objectionable, as a rule. In variably those lads, when they leave the cars, express their thanks ride. It is quite probable that they will It has have re- unorganized or the ‘continue this habit in later life been lads who have than do those you,” after some similar favor is done Quite noted on some occasions far greater advantages boys fail to say “than them probably will not say “thank you they appreciate done for them The things learned in then, do remain with who are looking toward tf this country—this country which will be, in a few years, the wonder ‘if the children are learning the things that will be good for them and for the country Do we enforce law in a way that wi give the young respect for law forcement; pass laws that the chil-| @ren will respect because they ue“ ater in life, nor will the things that are childhood, men. Those land of those now children- en- them respected? Or are we creating by law, a new code of morals which the great mass of the people is un- willing to accept? THAT COUNCIL OUTING In the baseball news of the day there have appeared references to the “bean ball,” and mention made of the fuct that it is coming into use again, Now the “bean ball" does not re- semble a bean bag. It is nothing in- nocent like that, The “bean” referred to in the phrase, means the head—a man's head. The *“bean ball,” there- fore, i8 a ball thrown with all the force of the pitcher's arm directly at the “bean™ or head of the batter. The inspiration of the *“bean ball” is the desire on the part of the pitcher to frighten the batter so that he will not hit the ball safely and so that after- wards he will be afraid every time he comes to bat. Members of the common council all have “beans” or heads. True, they make little of them sometimes, but nevertheless they are there, for better or for worse. This possession of “beans” or heads becomes import- ant when the latest announcement regarding tomorrow’s out{ng «of the common council and other city offi- cials, to the effect that the Democrats are going to play against the Republi- cans in a game of bageball-—the game in which the “bean ball” is sometimes used, and the bean sometimes used very little. Cynies and irreverent per- sons may say that the beans of some of the city officlals would be just as capable of working after being hit by a bean ball as they are before, but this is doubted. It is to the advantage of the city to preserve whatever there is inside those beans of city officlals, and for this reason it is to be hoped that an informal meeting of the com- mon council will be held tonight so that a resolution may be passed for- bidding the use of the “bean ball"” by either Republican or Democratic pitcher. Then, when the charter is again altered, an amendment to this effect may be added to it along with other equally important amendments that undoubtedly will be suggested. use MARRIAGES HERE “There_has been a marked decline in the number of marriages (in Con- necticut) since 1916 and a consider- able Increase in the number of di- vorces. This condition is most mark- ed in Falirfleld county with Hartford county ranking second.” Thus reads a dispatch from the Washington News Bureau of this newspaper, It is quite the usual thing to boast over a large number of marriages in allcertain locality, and to regret the number of divorces. - Possibly one would be ‘considered unpagriotic or something else equally terrible were one to fail to deplore a decreasing marriage rate, and were one to say that the increasing number of di- vorces was the result of a too great number of marriages. Yet, if the sit- uation is looked squarely in the face a tremendous Increase in marriages is not a thing to be desired. “Marry in haste, regret at leisure” -has a lot of sense to it. The condition 1s aggra- vated in a locality where a great portion of the population looks upon early marriage as something quite necessary according to the traditions of the lands from which its people come. In Hartford county there are too many marriages by people very early in life. The decreasing number is not a thing to be deplored. Many a young girl assumes the duties of motherhood long before she has had a chance to learn that she, as well as the man she marries, possesses the rights In this country that a man possesses. Grant- ed willingly and gladly that the mar- ried state is the natural, the happy state. Nevertheless it should not be en- tered into until the parties to it realize all their rights and their duties. There should be no worry over a decreasing number of marriages, considering the fact that this decrease comes probably from a refusal of young girls to take | life's most serious step before they are now living here. The general physi- cal condition has been on the decline for years. Only recently, since the emphasis has been lald on this mat- ter, has that ‘general strength begun to increase—if, indeed, it has begun even now. The point to be remember- ed is that If this nation is to be main- tained In its physical strength = as well as its moral and spiritual fibre, every encouragement should be mv.i to every health Although we may never have to go to war again —and this Is the devout hope—all life is a war and physidal strength is needed to meet it. move, We dote on this; We dote on that, But there's the anecdote Of one who, hungry, doted on A bouteous table d’hote. A bunch of this, A hunk of that— I'rom soup to nuts remote; He ate, and drank; Then smiled and died— Slain by that table d'hote. Most people love to have “music in the air” and many are ignorant enough to want an air in the music. In Paris they have shortened skirts to 12 inches from the ground. Take that, you pessimists. Laugh and the world laughs with you; weep and you can't get a loan. Absence makes the heart grow fonder of those present—It allows you to see more of them. . “Film Fans of Europe Demand Graceful Girls,” says dispatch. Well, Film Fans of Europe are not alone.

Another good intelligence test is a good stretch of road and a car that will do seventy when wide open. The only objection to the first watermelons is that they taste too much like water and not enough like melons. The ideal political platform must be long enough to afford parking space for all the popular grievances. It won't be at all difficult to estab- lish universal peace once we have eliminated human nature and the Balkans. Let's not have an avowed ‘wet” as President. T.et him drink it on the sly.
