CHAPTER VII.

THE PLAID SUIT OF CLOTHES.
Mr.. Mitchell reached his home that
night in safety, his presence on the
boat having apparently escaped the
notice OF any Of the crooks.
On the following morning. precisely
Mt the hour appointed. Mr.. Barnes was
announced and ushered in.
"Ah! Good morning. Mr.. Barnes"
said Mr.. Mitchell. 81 hope you have
not overworked yourself on this case
Of yours. Feeling well this morning?"
"Quite we'll, I thank you." was the
reJoinder. "Why do you ask?"
"Oh, did not know but that you had
been up oil night watching somebody.
Mr.. Barnes. I have often admired the

watching doorway through which he
had seen criminal pass. The fact
that the criminal seldom comes out
again does not seem to deter him Mt oil.

Some day criminal may come back

came to us he caught n mouse, and
while he was playing with it the little
creature escaped and ran into my
wife's slipper. from which hiding place
Master Remus soon dislodged him. But
DO you know whenever that cat sees
that slipper lying about he sits down
and watches 1t! 1t is really very anus.

wife Is at home, and will have Remus

TIE SCHOOLS AND POLITICS.

Last week we called attention to the
attempt made in New York state to
place the public school system in charge
of the Republican machine. Tho
dependent, we are glad to see, has real
lied the true inwardness of the scheme,
but we would be pleased to see it give
some more vfrile expression of approval
than what is contained in the fallow-
ing:
GA state commission has prepared a
bill, now before the legislature, and
approved, it is said, by Governor Roose-
welt, which unifes the system, and puts
the schools, 50 far as the state controls
them, under the charge of a Chancellor
of the Board of Regents, to be appoint
ed, in the first case, by the Governor,
and afterward by the regents. The Re
publican organization is said not to
like it, and the Regents oppose some
features Of it, such as the election of
the first Chancellor by the Governor,
and the appointment of the Regents in
the same way. 1t is possible that some
of the commissions plan
may be wise, but the pHrpose to unity
it right one, and the way which most
divorces the schools from politics is to
be preferred. We want no politics in
the state control of our public schools,
and it ought quite as much to be ban
shed from the municipal administra-
ton"
The alleged opposition of the Re
publican organization is unreal-and is
given forth simply to deceive the 'un-
thinking. The Independent is appar-
entity ashamed of some of its friends.

their example by contributing a sum
of money sufficient to perpetuate this
triumph of the art of men who have
themselves achieved through the oppor-
tunities offered them by democracy, and
have given this fine utterance to their
joy in the achievements of the naval
heroes of their democracy"
On the occasion of the Dewey celebra-
ton in the city of New York millions on
millions of dollars were expended in
that city by people from all parts of
the United States. The people of New
York were the chief beneficiaries of
that event. The merchants and hotel
keepers earned fabulous sums. 1t is
true that these people displayed most
loyal feeling in getting up a, celebration
from which they were to receive such
great reward-and we would not care
to suggest that personal interest had a
part in it; but the suspicion is forced
when we see the remarkable lack of ac-
tivity now that they are called upon to
give instead of receive.
The people of New York made enough
money out Of the Dewey demonstration
to build a permanent arch, and if they
fail it will be to their great disgrace.

BUT JUSTICE is JUSTICE.

Finally Christian parents, let US beg
your earnest consideration of this i'm
portant truth that upon you, singly and
individually, must practically depend
the solution of the question whether
or not the Catholic press is to accom-
plish the great work which Providence
and the Church expect of it at this
time. So frequent and so forcibly has
the providential mission of the press
been dwelt upon by Popes and prelates
ana distinguished Catholic writer's, and
so assiduously have their utterances
been quoted and requoted everywhere
that no one certainly stands in need
Of arguments to be convinced Of this
truth. But all this will only be words
in the air, unless it can be brought
home to each parent and made prac-
teal in each household. If the head
Of EACH Catholic family will recognize
it as his privilege and his duty to con-
tribute toward the Catholic press, by
subscribing for one or more Catholic
periodicals, and keeping himself well
acquainted with the information they
impart, then the Catholic press will be
sure to attain its rightful development
and to accomplish its destined mission.
But choose a journal that is thorough
ly Catholic, instructive and edifying:
not one that would be, while Catholic
in name or pretence, un-Catholic in
tone and spirit, disrespectfuI to consti-
tuted authority, or biting and unchar-
liable to Catholic brethren"-Pastoral
Letter of Third Plenary Council of Bal
timore.
This advice should be seriously enter
tanned and made fruitful of wise
earnest devotion to every good Catbo-
lie book, periodical and journal The
paper should be read with all
thought and care, and when read on
Sunday it should be studied in the spirit
Of the obligatory observance of the
Lords Day.

our country''-we must admire the
same sentiment in other peoples when
| it finds expression. That the masses of
the English people are animated with
| this American sentiment is TO their
credit-even though, and we know they
do realize that Mr.. Chamberlain has
rushed them into an unjustifable war.
The very flower of the English people
are being sacrificed for the sake of the
rapacity of the few-but let us not for
get that many a home is Swallowed in
war for loved ones forever gone-homes
in which our faith is the sustaining
principle-and loved ones who died as
they had lived, in the faith Of Gods
church.
The latest to offer himself as a vic
tim in South Africa is perhaps the
foremost Catholic layman in the Chris
tan world-the Duke of Norfolk.
Henry Fitzalan Howard, Duke of
Norfolk, who is the head and front of
the peerage of Great Britain, outranks
the Colonnas and Orsinis of Italy, and
would walk before the Spanish grandee
who claims legitimate descent from Cid
himself. The premier duke and the pre-
mier earl Of the kingdom, he yields to
no man who is not of the blood royal.
His family is the Oldest Saxon nobility
in England, and were anciently the
Herewards. Although immensely rich,
the duke is one of the hardest worked
men in England. His present political
office is that of postmaster general. |
When he was mayor of Sheffield he de-
voted almost all his time to his duties. |
As county councillor of London he was
the most active member of the organ |
ization. He is the head of every Ro-
man Catholic movement in the three !
and has proudly preserved
the faith of his fathers land his unap-
position in the aristocracy)
all the vicissitudes of the cen
turtles. Several ducal Towards have
suffered death in the Tower, but no one
forsook the faith of the famous house.
The motto on his composite coat of
arms is his inspiration. 1t is singularly
free from the barbaric Specification of
the majority of such inscriptions 1t
reads: Virtue, alone, Is Unconquera-
ole" The duke is 81 years of age.

too will be thinkers, still their tinker
ing will be more skillful and intelli-
gent. But the amelioration of society
is a perplexing problem. The wise,
however, will admit that at the root of
all efforts made in this direction there
must be a Christian education in the
home as Well as the school. This sort
Of eaucation-in fact. this alone is edu-
catton-aims at subjecting the passions
and emotions to reason and revelation,
and by a constant discipline of self
control beginning betimes in life, the

what is the same in other words,
