There were three Of them. Two were so
goriously full that they lay limp as dishrags
on the approach to the motor bridge. while
the third was sober enough to keep his
head above his heels and to realize that ae-

yards or so south OF the bridge. farmer

the hold-ups he had heard OF happening in

telephoned at once TO the police station and
Chief Scanlan, with Officers Murphy and
Weir started out on the double quick to pre-
vent the robbery. They searched for some
little time among the willows and finally
found the gang. All three OF them were ly-
ing there. two of them sleeping OF their
jags and the third on watch. All three were
literally covered with saudburs and dirt, al

The Little Red schoolhouse.
Sacred Heart Review.


Catholics, In common with all law
abiding citizens, must regret and con-
denim the unjustifiable and criminal In
reference with the A. Il. "A. procession
in East Boston on the Fourth OF July.
1t appears that some hair Drained Catho-
lies, or, at any rate, persons bearing that
name took offense at this procession.
There was nothing done or said by the
processionists 30 far as reported that
should offend Catholics more than other
citizens. The procession was apparently
gotten up TO honor "the little red school
house. This purpose may be childish,
but surely could give ofiense to no sensi-
bic man. That the A. Il. A. intended
offense and wished to place Catholics in
an attitude OF opposition to "the little
red schoolhousen may be true or false, as
you please; but their intentions have
nothing to do, one way or another, with
the merits of the case. In this instance
we must judge them by their actions, not
by their intentions or professions AS TO
their professions, no one takes the A. p.
A. seriously. II appears TO be generally
agreed that they are pack OF brainless,
mischievous fools, mostly foreigners,
whose sole ambition in life appears TO be
to hate the Pope and Catholics, and that
they have no idea of civil and religious
liberty, as understood by Americans.
We presume that every one, not an A.
T. A., knows that Catholics have no
antipathy to "the little red schoolhouse'';
that in building parochial schools, which
teach children religion as we'll as the
usual studies Catholics do not intend
harm to the public school. AS at pres
ent managed the public school Is not and
cannot be fit to train Christian citizens,
and consequently Catholics, wherever it
is possible, provide their children the
blessings of a Christian education. The
public schools will be always necessary
for those who cannot or will not use the
parochial schools; and Catholics have
been always willing TO support them at
the public expense. In their own way
and within the limits of their own sphere
the public schools are doing a good and
benefcent work, and Catholics are as
ready to acknowledge this and are as
willing to honor "the little red school
house," in its work as are any class of
citizens.
Aside from this, the A. =. A., no
matter how childish, silly, or wicked
their intentions, have right, under our
laws and customs, to parade to their
hearts content, provided they do not in
terfere with the rights of others; and no
decent, law-abiding, Christian man
will ever think of depriving them of
their right IL the rioters intended to
help the church, well may we cry, "Lord
save us from our friends. ~ The church
has no use for such friends.

alone, and even the church claims no
authority over such privileged communi-
cations. In little space Sir James came
within the chamber and partook OF
supper with me, speaking clear and
'yobcriy as was his won't upon certain
books of sermons which he loved to read,
such being his taste. But of his family,
or OF the sorrow concerning his son, he
Ipake no further word.
Then, so soon as the clock had chapped
ten, he rose and called In the servants to
worship, which at his request i took,
praying about the space of three-quarters
of an hour, and never better in my life,
rs Is great comfort to me now to think
uIon. After this, without a word spoken,
he rose. would have returned to speak
VI other things, but he checked me with
solemn movement, strange in one that
litherto had been so merry withal.
"After the Bulk on Saturday night, !"
he said, 1T Is our custom TO take cur
candles and get to bed"
So. with dignifed and gracious mien,
he lighted me TO my room, with gravity
and affection shook me by the hand, and
90 departed, taking leave of me without
word. As all may believe, il was with
some fear upon me, because OF the saying
OF Renwick and the power of the evil
ypirits that laid me down. For strange

fanatic opinions and lay abroad in the

clam ber, trying and auarreling as before,
UP the bank out of my sight.
How i ever got back to my chamber
know not but certain il is that when
the serving woman came the next morn
ing to light my fire she found me with
bleeding feet and scanty garments, lying
in the midst of the floor, as one that had
been overtaken unseemly, and the bed
coyerlets all thrown hither and thither,

leaped from my bed.

MEN IN A DRESS REFORM.

Women viii no longer be permitted to
monopolize the dress reform field. Men
have begun an agitation of emancipation
from trousers. They would achieve the
picturesque freedom of knickerbockerS.
The pioneers in the fight for dress re-
form for men only have addressed a
signed petition to the World announcing
that the SignerS "belieVe that a large
majority of the men residing IN New
York and Brooklyn would like to adopt
knee breaches for general use could they
do so without rendering themselves I'M
duly conspicuous"
All the signerS are enthusiastic cyclerS
and declare that the wheel is going to
sound the death knell of trousers, as in
the near future every one will ride bike.
The crusade is destined to meet serious
opposition. There are those to whom the
trouSer has come as 4 compenSating boon
for natures ungeneI GUS treatment and
these will not consent to emerge from
that garments charits bic cloaking to the
pitiless candor of knee breeches without
a vigorous fight
One advantage Of the proposed abbre-
Walton would be The elimination of the
unSightly spectacle of trousers bagged at
the knees.
Fashion has decreed that the proper
length of frock coats is to below the
knee. If this were not changed the first
impression of the new man would be
that he had left his trousers home. as
nothing would be visible but his coat and
stockings
Still the signers of this petition hope to
up their minds that the new woman and
the Goo-Goos will not have all the reform
business to themselyes.-New York
