GOV. PINGREE does not 90 back on
Alger notwithstanding the Reputation

little less than cowardly; and to say the
least is unmanly.
Mckinley was evidently anxious to get
rid of Alger, but for some reason could
not muster up courage sufficient to ask
for his resignation He did ask for it in
a roundabout way, the request being
communicated from one official to anoth-
er So rs to get the final one rs far from
Mckinley as possible Pingree says that
pressure for Alger's retirement came be-
cause of his declaration against trusts.
But bless us, every politician who is look

is popular to be SO and doesn't hurt the
trusts particle.

RoRrBv, INGERSoI.I. died ON Friday

of heart disease. He died while sitting
in a chair and SO quietly that those III the

was his wish to die as he did, to pass
quietly from life to death.
Ingersoll was not great man. Though
he was a great orator He was more
sentimental than profound and strove to
attract attention rather than institute re-

dark but t was done in professional

incidental to the reputation he achieved.

inglv would injure no one But he qua
not hesitate 10 destroy belief even Though
unbelief was more dangerous than the

no confidence in reports of the speedy

THE Catholic Citizen SAYS.

'All good Christians pay their debts
But promptness is one % the essentials
of honesty. 1t isn't enough * pay some
time, you must pay as you 90 if you
want to be truly honest
One of the inexplicable proceedings ON
the part of the head of family who is
apparently DESTROYS of bringing his
family up honestly. is the failure to
pay his debts The children are taught
dishonesty by the parent practice. Any
amount of church going will not check
the evil tendency of this bad example
unless the child repudiates the home and
regards its influence as evil This is an
alternative which no parent should place
before his child as it destroys the home
The child whose home has in it an at
mosphere of dishonesty cannot but grow
up in harmony with his surroundings.
1t is dishonesty not to pay debts. 1t i,
dishonest To postpone payment Of debts.
Children are quick to assume the char
dtIer WHICH the PARENT gives tlle lOllt
and if dishonesty prevails the child does
not escape it.
There was time when the sense of AZ
obligation undischarged weighed heay
lily upon the debtors conscience, which
gave him no peace until the debt wa,
paid In large number of cases now
debts are not burden which the con
science feels. if they can be escaped al
right 1t would be difficult to draw tn,

WISE AND OTHERWISE.

It is Away, better to astonish man
than it is to bore him.
Reputation may be bubble, but onl 2
a fool tries to burst it.
When wise man makes a mistake it
teaches him something.
A wise woman doesn't find fault with
her cook in hot weather.
A wise man never tells his neighbors
what his experience cost.
Ignorance in homely girl is sweet
simplicity in a pretty one.
Chance gives us relations, but we
must make our own friends.
He who rules with rod Of iron
should select malleable one.
Many men court distinction, but the
wedding day dawns for the few
A true love letter is written with ut
ter disregard for future possibilities.
The man whose mind is not made up
should never air his opinions in pub
lie.
Possibly the world may owe every
man living, but it has too many pre-
ferred creditors.
