The Perfect Rose

OF perfect hue. of perfect health;
OF such perfection and perfume
It's filed my poor house with its wealth.
Then came the pessimist who knew
Not good or grace, but overthrow
Ny rose and in the broken pot
Nosed fast for slugs within the rot.
He found, found with exulting pride
Deep in the lcam. worm. slug.
The while my rose-tree died.
Ah me! the phyllis tits true.

The richer mould the ranker grew
Some lonely life within its fold
From first to last Would'st breathe the rose
Or break the pot. and nose and nose?
Nay, plead net for self at last;
The past, have survived the past;
My ruined rose, my wrecked repose;
But plead for that coming song,
The sweeter, fairer rose.
God is not far, man is not far
From heavens porch, where paeans roll
And yet shall speak from star TO star
In silent language from the soul;
You star-strewn skies be but town,
With angels passing up and down.

Where Women Fail
CHICAGO HERALD

rhe women of today are really wonderful, in
deed;
Their conversation indicates the solid books
they read
They're deeply versed in politics, in science
and in art
In fact, they've learned most everything worth
learning all by heart
Nature to them is an open book, and earth and
sea and sky
Have not secret hidden from their penetrat-
ing eye;
There's not II problem SO complex but what it
qu ckly finds
How easily they can solve it with their vast,
transparent minds.
Bravo say we. and may the sex press onward
still and higher;
May clearer, deeper. grander thoughts their
purposes inspire.
But when these women who SO much OF knowl.
edge have acquired
Get off street car backward, then they make
US awfu! tired.

course at New York, where the increase
has been 1916 per cent, the transactions con-

some of the other points in the seaboard

cent and Scranton 1875 per cent There
are two small points which show de-
crease-namely at Wilmington and Bing-

aggregate for the whole Middle States
section records 1917 per cent increase.
The New England group shows only

Bedford there are losses; but at Provi

Sprin gfield 10.4 per cent and at Worcester

Its first cost is $4,000 and it's general
average is 300 horsepower. The average
life of ship and its earning capacity,
compared with its cost, is not given, and
is perhaps not yet computed, but it is
not likely to equal or approach that of the
locomotive, which may fairly rank as the
most potent instrument of civilization

TIE CARROLL CLUB
viii Move Into Its New Quarters in a
Short Time.
Plans for the Necessary Alterations
to be Drawn Immediately-A
Well Attended Meeting, at Which
the New Constitution Was Adopt
ed

Within one year from the date of the
first meeting of persons interested In
the formation of the Carroll Club, the
organization will occupy a building
splendidly adapted to its requirements,
and credit to the Catholics of the city
and State. To-day architects will visit
the Paxton homestead, at the corner
of Chapline street and Alley Nine and
will prepare plans for remodellng the
building in accordance with the ideas
Of the Board of Directors of the organi-
cation. Bids will be advertised for and
the work of making the needed chan
ges will be pushed to completion with
all possible speed.
The plans of the directors have been
roughly outlined heretofore, but have
now assumed definite shape. A more
suitable building for the ordinary uses
of such an organization could hardly
be secured without being erected for the
especial purpose Many of the rooms,
then, will not be altered, but viii serve
as parlors, reception and card rooms,
library etc. One partition on the sec
ond floor has been removed, making a
commodiOus billiard hall. On the first
floor there will be a large dining room,
suitable also for small assemblages Of
persons for business or social purposes.
To the rear of the present structure
will be added a two story building, COX
so feet. The first floor will be equipped
with bowling alleys, a shooting gallery,
a first class gymnasium and baths, etc.
The second floor will be large hall, to
be used for stockholders meetings, the
larger entertainments of the club, and
possibly church entertainments and lee
lures.
The stockholders in the club had
well attended meeting last night The
principal business Of the meeting WAS
the adoption of a constitution. which
was accomplished. Mr.. Frank Grue
presided, and Mr.. O'Kane acted as sec
rotary. Provision is made in the con-
stitution for life membership, condi-
toned upon the subscription Of $500 to
the capital stock of the club There
are already thirty life members, and
the aggregate stock subscriptions APP
proximate $4,000 There will also be
nonresident members and the club
last night decided to issue privilege
cards to such non-members as may be
accepted by the Board of Directors.
This feature means an extension of the
privileges of the club to nOn-CatholiCs,
and gives evidence of the broad and
liberal spirit which will underly the
conduct of the institution.
1t Is the intention to fit up the rooms
in the building as at present arranged,
Immediately, and it is probable that a
reception will be given within few
weeks.
