Never Thought Of It.

An cid bachelor lived alone in very
comfortable looking place, and his
apartments were always in great dis
order.
"Why don't you get married?" said a
friend one day. ''Then you would have
some one to fix up things here and make
it look homelike.'
''The fact is I've never thought Of it, .
said he, sbut it does look reasonable
that better half would want better

CATHOLIC NEWS.
ENTERING IN


The church was dim and silent
With the hush before the prayer;
Only the solemn trembling
OF the organ stirred the air.
Without, the sweet pale sunshine;
Within, the holy calm.
Where the priest and people waited
For the swelling Of the psalm.
Slowly the door swung open.
And little baby girl,
Brown eyed, with brown hair falling,
In many wavy curl.
With soft cheeks flushing hotly,
Sly giances downward thrown,
And small hands clasped before her,
Stood in the isle alone.
Stood half abashed, half frightened,
Unknowing where to go,
While like wild rocked flower
Her form swaycd to and fro;
And the changing color tiuttered
In the little troubled face.
AS from side to side she wavered
With mute i1nploring grace.
1t was but for moment;
What wonder that we smiled
BY such strange, sweet picture
From holy thoughts beguiied
Up then rose some one softly,
And many an eye grew dim,
AS through the tender silence
He bore the child with him.
And l. ] wonder, losing
The sermon and the prayer,
If when some time I enter
The many mansions fair,
And stand abashed and dropping
In the portals golden glow,
Our God will send an angel
To show me where to TO-

society of this city. At S o'clock the fol
lowing gentlemen met at labratory in the
Sedgwick building Drs. Fabrique; Old

After short session there they went to
the doctors residence, No oil North To-
peka.
The occasion was the twentieth ami
versary of Dr. McAdams' graduation at
the Medical College of St. Louis, and
marked the beginning of his twentieth
year of the practice of medicine. So
when the guests were called to order
by DR.. Foote it was no sur
prise to any one when he arose
and commenced TO relate the history of
the past nineteen years works; but when
he closed by handing to the host beauti-
full gold headed cane the latter was taken
considerably unawares and was scarcely
able to express in words his hearty appre-
citation of the gift Upon the handle of
the cane was engraved, Presented to Dr.
c. f. McAdans. by the ". z. s, Mar. l.,

The time was then pleasantly spent by
the guests in the enjoyment of the many
good things prepared, and these together
with the stories told and the agreeable
social intercourse so eDjoyably passed the
time that il was quite late when they at
last took their departure.
