EB An Irishman and q Dutchman
were travelling together, and found a
large piece of meat in the road. They
disagreed over its division, and decided
upon the novel method of each taking
an end of the meat between his teeth
and pulling, the victor to carry off the
spoils. 1t is well-known fact that
Dutchman cannot answer in the affir-
native without opening his jaws to
their fullest dimensions, whilst the son
of Erin can simply close his dental
machinery and out it comes. Being
each braced for the contingency, teeth
firmly set in the coveted Wand, and
eyes fixed upon his antagonist, the
witty Celt cried out from between his
set teeth: Gar yes ready ?" Y-a-w,"
replied the earnest Dutchman, at the
same time letting slip the meat. I" Bego-
rah, I have it !" shouted Pat, as he made
off with the trophy, still dangling be-
tween his teeth.

town after o physician for his wife, who
was very sick. He dismounted from
his horse in front of saloon, just as
the boys inside had begun to make
merry over the first keg of buck beer.
He approached and looked cautiously
around the screen. The foaming glasses
were held high above the heads of the
revelers, as one of the number pro-
nounced toast appropriate to the occa-
sion. The silent watcher licked his lips,
and wished his errand to town had been
one not requiring so much dispatch. He
was turning reluctantly away, when the
crowd saw him.
Hallol' they shouted, "there's Fritz.
Bring him in.
He was laid hold upon and hauled up
to the bar, all the while protesting:
"Poys, vos in quick hurry. Ole
woman sick like der tuyval. / vos
come NIT der toctor, sooner as light
nin.'"
Well, you can take some buck while
you're here, and kill two birds with one
stone," was the reply.
Yaas, kill Won shicken NIT coople
of stones, und der ole woman die nit
out der toctor, ton't forget myself NV
it, ell ?"
"Oh, she won't die. Buck beer don't
come but once year, and you've got the
old woman all the time. Fill 'em up,
again"
Yaas, got her all der time, but ex-
posen' she go dade, don't got her any
more sometimes. It's better to go nit
der toctor seldom right away"
But he didn't go. AS one glass after
another was forced upon him by the
reckless crew, the object of his errand
was floated further and further from
his vision, until it was carried out of
his mind altogether, and his voice, un-
tinged with anxiety, Joined in the
drinking songs, and arose above all
others.
Thus he was found by his son late that
night. The boy grasped him by the
sleeve, and said:
Fader, COON home,"
Fritz turned, and at the sight of his
boy great fear arose in his mind, swept
away the fumes of the beer, and brought
him to sense of the situation. In an
awestruck tone, he said
Yawcub, how you was come here ?
Vas Something's der matter?'
Yaw," replied the boy.
"Vell, spoke ub aboud id. Vos der ole

"Nein, answered the boy, &" you vos

Fritz was overcome for q moment, but
finally stammered out:

The Sodality Club.

About the most notable deficiency in the
Catholic social affairs of this city has been
the total absence of any organization In
the pature of club. That ench things
are useful is manifest from the success
which has attended them in other commu-
mites. The club is not pious aesocia-
ton like a sodalty, nor charitable one
like the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. out
il NAV be Catholic for all that. There ls
such thing as Catholic social life. Men
seem to think that the whole interest," Oh d
Christian, as one of number, is limited TO
the interior of church building. They
say that religion has nothing to 90 WITH
business aud nothing to dc with politics.
That combin atoms among Catholics may
with ADVANTAGE exist outside of the Church
and collaterally to it is evident enough IN
the pious and charitable works to which we
have referred, though 1T is very haFo TO
persuade men to adopt the system practi-
cally while they do not think Of doubting
it theoretically. But when there is ques-
, ton of an ordinary social organization such
, as is understood by the word "club" their
t lukewarmuess extends even to the theory
