an Important Part Of Man.
Why do young men take such pride
In their mustaches? It is, suppose, be-
cause they think "A mustache Is orna-
mental. Is it? Why do men have clean
i'haven lips when they could grow mus
taches? And why do men wear half q
dozen struggling hairs when they ought
to have them shaved otfY Why will men
continue to spend hours every day in
training the hair on their upper lip,
when il doesn't make them look any
more handsome. when IL is annoying to
their sweethearts by scratching their
cheeks, when it prevents cigar being
smoked more than half through, and
when it shows horrid propensity for
getting mixed mp with the food?
don't think mustaches are orna-
mental The ideal mustache has yet
to be invented. IL must not draggle.
nor be used as a shield TO hide ones bad
teeth. nor be fierce. Aud oh. it must
not be waxed or eadedl What do men
say Of women who use grease? When
you are enjoying spoon don't you think
il takes all the romance ont OF the thing
by having nasty, cosmeticized piece or
hair edge its way against your lipsf
And isn't il exasperating when your
| lover leads his mustache and never tells
| you? You go home with your face like

/ very uncomfortable when father and
mother say there have been lot of smuts
about, for your face has got quite dirty.
No, mustaches are neither useful nor
ornamental. Were | a man and capa-
BILE Of growing a most lnxuriant mus
tache would cut it Off. A clean shaven
man looks much the incest. Girls like
beardless face. They are content to
know that whiskers and all the rest
could be there if they were wanted.
You see, man with a mustache Is
generally bit of fop, and girls don't
like fops. If man doesn't keep it
trimmed il gets struggling and ragged;
IL he does keep it trimmed then he
appears conceited He is eternally

til he loses all character for manliness.
Now, clean shayen man seems to be
dignitied. Women love dignity. Why
is it they are always so fond of curates
especially high church and actors7
Simply because they shave. Women
want in men smooth. clear cut face
not with great bunch of hair stuck ont

Greeks having mustachesi Whoever

Mustaches are not ornamental, be-
cause they rarely suit the face. because

''One OF the queerest railroads any.

line that runs from South Ontario, in
San Bernardino county. where live.
The line is seven miles long. A span OF
stout mules draw the car up over the
road. There is nothing singular about
that, but il comes in ON the return trip.
'.Th, seven miles are on a tilt all the
way, although the track does not lcok
like 1t. So when the car starts back the
mules get on and take ride. the car
booming over the whole line by gravity.
The mules enjoy ii too. They ride there
in as self satisfied way as any other
passenger. and the view seems equally
charming. North Ontario. you know,
is situated at the mouth of san Antonio
canyon, but there are lot of magnifi-
cent mountains around there. One col
ony-for they can scarcely be called
towns-is situated on the Santa Fe road
and the other on the Southern Pacific
IL is the seven miles Of street railway
that connect the two.
''rhe way they get the mules aboard
is this: There is little truck under the
car, and il is pulled out, becoming an
adjunct to the regular passenger depart
ment The moment the truck is slid
out the intelligent animals make a start
for it and step up and on. 1t is extreme
ly amusing-the way they do it and the
way they enjoy this ride, and they are
great favoritcs with the people. San

work upon it. He pulled the upper part

THE "FAR1BAULT PLAN"
After r est of Two Years the School Com
promise Has Been Discontinued.

After Test of Two Years the School Com
promise Has Been Discontinued.
FAR1BAu1r, M1NN., September H.
The famous "Faribault plan," which
has been in operation in Faribault for
nearly two years, has been abandoned.
Father Conry, the parish priest, has no.
tilted the school board that the Catholics
would no longer permit the assignment
of two Protestant teachers to the Hill
school, and accordingly the agreement
between the school board and the parish
is at an end.
The plan of Archbishop Ireland con
sisted in uniting the public and parochial
schools under the control of the school
board for the use of the children of both
Protestants and Catholics. It was ex-
pressly stipulated that the Sisters who
taught at the Hill school should be per-
mitted to wear their habits, but that no
other emblems of religion should be
shown. The school board, however, as
signed two Protestant teachers to the
school for the purpose Of assisting the
Sisters. This caused the trouble, and it
is reported that Archbishop Ireland
himself is responsible for the breaking of
the compact. The Board of Education
has secured other quarters for the Prot.
estant children attending the Hill school.
The Faribault plan was something Of
an innovation, and it created great ex-
element in Catholic circles. The mat
ter was finally taken to Rome, and the
Pope was compelled to Issue decree of
tolerari potest.
There is no truth in the dispatch that
the Catholics refuse to let Protestants
teach their children. All the children
in the city are going to the common
schools The board has rented other
rooms and in very few days the schools
will all be running with an abundance
OF room for all. All the teachers are en-
gagged regardless Of religious belief. The
question of religion is entirely elimin-
ated from the schools.

self uns potted from this world" Loud

3. :
wednesday, Cardinal Gibbons spoke
again On 'sThe Nesdsssef Humanity Sup
piisd by the the Catholie Religion" of
which The following is summary: "The
Catholic Church has taught man the
knowledge of God and of himself; she
has brought comfort to his heart by in
structing him to bear the ills of life with
Christian philosophy. She has sancti-
fed the marriage bond; she has pro-
claimed the sanctity and inviolability of
human life from the moment that the
body ie animated 5ith the spark OF life
till it's extinction She has foundedaey-
lums for the training of children Of both
sexes, and for the support of the aged
poor. She has established hospitals for
the sick and homes for the redemption Of
fallen women. She has sxerted her IN
huence toward the mitigation and aboli-
tibn OF human slavery. She has been
the unwavering friend of the sons of toll.
These are some of the blessings which
the Catholic Church has conferred on
eociety. I will not deny, on the contrary
am happy to avow, that the various
Christian bodies outside the Catholic
Church have been and are today Jealous
promoters Of most of the works of Chris
tiansbenevolence But will not our sep
arated brethren have the candor to &C.
knowledge that we had first possession
of the field; that these benefcent move
meuts had been inaugura'ed by us; and
that the other Christian communities, in
their noble efforts for the moral and so-
.cial regeneration of mankind, have ia no
small measure been stimulated by the
example and emulation of the ancient
church Let us do all we can in our day
and generation in the cause of humanity.
Every man has mission from God to
help5his fellow beings Though we dit
Ter in faith, thank God there is one plat
form on which we stand united, and
that is the platform of charity and bene-
Violence. We cannot, indeed, like our
Divine Master, give sight to the blind,
and hearing to the deaf, aua! speech to
the dumb, and strength to the pafalyzed
limb, but We can work miracles Of grace
and mercy by relieving the distress of
our suffering brethren And never do
We approach nearer to our Heavenly
Father than when we alleviate the sor-
rows of others. Never do we perform an
act more God-like than when we bring
sunshine to hearts that are dark and
desolate. Never are we more like to
God than when we cause the flowers of
JOY and of gladness to bloom in soils
that we're dry and barren before. 'Reli-
gion,' says the apostle, pure and unde-
fled before God and the Father, is this
to visit the fatherless and the widow in
their tribulation, and to keep ones self

the words of the pagan Cicero, there is

VANCE ON SILVER.
He Will Not Vote For Repeal Before
Substitute is offered.

New York, July 22.-A special to the
World from Raleigh, says Senator Zebu-
ion B. Vance to-day made public an open
letter which ne mas written to the farm
ers, alliance. rIn his letter Senator Vance
says he is pleased at the action of the
alliance in urging the senators and repre-
sentatives to stand by the present silver
purchasing law until soIne satisfactory
substitute is adopted. He says years ago
he urged upon the farmers
the Importance of such an or
organization as would enable
them to make their vast but disjointed
strength felt promptly and efficiently in
legislation, and that the preservation of
silver in our currency is vital issue. He
declares that the use of silver and gold
on equal terms as basis of our currency
is a necessity, and asserts his determina-
tion to yield nothing to the monometalists
who have created the panic so industri-
Ously advertised, and which will here
after be known as the rich mans panic.
Senator Vance says, in conclusion that
hope of ingratiating himself with the
President to secure patronage has not af-
fected him, nor does he believe it Will op-
crate far in the effort TO secure repeal of
the Sherman law. -
