mNo Mother. /"

The other day, when stern and dig
nified judge ordered a prisoner to stand
UP and offer objections to being sem
fenced to prison for a long term of
years, the prisoner arose and said:
Il never had a mother to shed tears
over me-,
His words entered every heart in the
great court room. He was rough, bad
man, IN the middle age of life and he
had been convicted of burglary. but
every heart was seftened towards him
as he uttered the words. He felt what
he said, and tears rolled down his
cheeks as he continued:

'Ah. that's it! There is power in a
mothers love and her tears and plead

hardly to be realized. God pity the lad
who has no home to go to-no mother
to whom he can tell his troubles and
griefs-no one to put her arms around
his neck and whisper to heaven to keep
him in the right path. There is no heart
like a mothers heart. Her child NAV

and it stays with him until sleep closes
the eyes. When a mothers love for
her offspring dies out, he may be called
wicked and wretched to live among
men.
There are no tears like mothers

CORRECT AND INCORRECT.

1t is the correct thing
To stand while being incensed at
Solemn High Mass.
To remember that the vestibule of the
church is not a reception room for the
interchange Of friendly greetings and
current gossip.
1t is not the correct thing
To march up the aisle to a front pew
If one enters the church after Mass has
begun. especially during the sermon
For men and boys TO lOiter around
the church entrance staring at passers-
by.
To leave the church as if exhausted
and glad TO get out
It is the correct thing
To remember that for each day of the
week there is a special devotion.
Sunday-The Holy Trinity.
MQnday-Ihe Souls in Purgatory.
Tuesday-The Guardian Angels
Wednesday-St. Joseph.
Thursday-The Blessed Sacrament.
Griday-The Sacred Heart and the
Passion.
Saurday-The Blessed Virgin.
1T is the correct thing
For ladies occupying end seats to move
up when others enter the pew.
For gentlemen occupying the end seat
70 move up or rise and let ladies pass in
before them
1t is not the correct thing
To be late for Mass.
To stalk hurriedly and noisfly up the
aisle.
TO give a little bobbing curtsy instead
Of the proper genufection before entering
the pew.

society, and a repetition of the recep-
ton given to the women who visited

THE FURRY IN WALL STREET.

Last weeks panic in Wall street,
which caused the failure of two ma
tional banks in Boston, was in no sense
due to the industrial conditions of
the country. 1t owed it's origin and
cause chiefly TO the greed of some rich
men to preempt the well-filled purses
of some other rich men. 1t was a case
of dog eat dog, which impels us to OBJ

CLEVELAND STRIKE.
Cars Run at Irregular Intervals
on the Roads Affected.

CLEVELAND (O), July 1S.-The
second day of the strike on the Big
Consolidated Street Railway system
opened quietly. The company to-day
began running cars at irregular inter-
vals The thirty linemen of the COM
pany have Joined the strikers. Dur
ing the last strike no attempt was
made to get them to strike and they
were kept busy in repairing the lines.
Just what the company will do is not
known. Linemen are scarce. An ef-
fort, it is said, will be made to bring
out the power house employees.
Mr. Bishop of the State Board of Ar
bitration arrived in town to-day, and
will attempt at once to arrange a
meeting between the company and the
men. Indications, however, were that
the State Board of Arbitration would
be repulsed by the strikers, that its
service in settling the strike would be
abruptly refused.
President Bryan of the union, was
asked whether the union would arbi-
trate, either through the State Board
or otherwise. What is there to arbl-
trate?" was his significant reply.
Mr.. Bishop called on President Ever
EFT of the company, but did not accom-
plish anything. He believes if the op-
posing sides do not get together the
State Board will force public inves-
tigation. Merchants claim that the

now talking of establishing bus lines

attempts have from time to time been

to be wondered at when one mas made
the acquaintance of the country and its
roads. The country has climatic ois-
abilities, and, moreover. consist MAIN
ly of swamps, marshes and lakes, with
a few hills here and there. There is
but scanty vegetation, thin forests of
stunted trees, with an OCCASIONAL birch
or pine towering above like a giant
in an assembly of dwarfs, and messy
and scrubby growth elsewhere. 1t is
not the sort of country to attract
population, and as a consequence good
roads are not wanted and are not to be
