AS TO CHINA

To most of US China is an unopened
book, and the Chinese ere identified
with the melancholy specimens of
that race who have iumigrated to our
shores and embarked upon the dubi-
Gus enterprise Of washing clothes in
filthy laundries That within the
walls of the vast Asiatic empire tn re

comparatively few OF us are aware,
and many being told Of 1t today for
the first time find it difficult to be-
lieve That these heather, as we de-
light to call them because they are
different from ourselves, have had for

We have adhered to ours---even if the
balance of loyalty to faith be not
against us-the mass of us have not
dreamed, and rot many of us are
prepared to accept readily. Yet such
are the facts that men who have gone
out into this land to carry the Dene-
FITS of western civilization to a ma
ton of 400, 900 900 of souls are forced
in sincerity to tell us, as does Doctor
Charles Johnson, in his enlightening
article on The Struggle for Reform
in China, in the July issue OF the
North American Review, that "any
inherent superiority on the part 0
the west is rather pleasing fiction
than a demonstrable fact. That il
point of fact the west is superior IL

He was old fashioned in his way. guile
less as child, and as simple as the
day he left his native country. He was
scrupulously honest. and would never
be satisfied till he had paid the last
farthing of an honest debt He loved
God and the work of his life was the
salvation of his soul. He never lost
sight of that great and very important
truth. His family came next in his af-
fections. For them he labored and
toiled. His hard earnings were freely
generously, but not foolishly spent for
their benefit, and to fit them for the
battle of life. He often told me that
he would spend all he possessed on the
education of his boys, and in return all
he asked was that they be good men.
He cid spend it, and l hope his wishes
will be realized. He loved the country
of his adoption, and never, as far as
know, did he by any act of his disgrace
the honored name of American citizen.
You, his children, have the sincere
sympathy of many friends in the loss
of your good father. You have mine
also. Your father has not left you
riches, but he has left you something
richer than all riches, and that is a
good name, name that was never tar
ntshed by any unlawful or disgraceful
act, and one of which you should ever
feel proud. If he could speak to you
in his coffin his legacy would be: My
name and memory, I leave it to mems
charitable speeches, and to the next
ages. What more valuable could he
leave, since "a good name is better
than precious ointment?

EUREKA.
st. Joseph's Parochial School.

The senlil-annual examinations took
place during the past week and the re-
I suit was extremely gratifying to all
concerned.
We congratulate Rev. Father O'Don-
ohue las well as his select teachers the
Sisters of the Holy Cross, upon the
signal success that has already crown
ed st. JoGeph's parochial school Such
success as this, we may remark, is not
only ource of great satisfaction to the
Rev. Pastor who makes the mental
and moral training of his parOchial
children his first care, but it also brings
joy to the hearts of Catholic parents,
for they are Thereby convinced that
their children's intellectual training is
of the best, while their moral natures
are moulded in the celestial alembic of
enduring virtue. Such evidence Of ex-
celience, moreover, COnltTadictS the
statements of certain free and easy
Catholics who pretend to think that
the parochlal schools are good for
nothing except to teach the catechism
Those people seem to forget that some
of the brightest men and women are
products Of the parochial schools
brought under THE eye of their Pastor
and under the training hand of teach
ers that can compare with the best.
The Sisters of the Hwy Cross are to
be congratulated on the success of their
pupils at st. Joseph'is school, which
speaks eloquently of encouragement
from the Pastor, and the hearty Coop
Grafton of all concerned.
Nor must the brightness and aptitude
of the pupils be overlooked: we heartily
congratulate them on their success.

BITUARY

John Malta, a we'll known miner OF
Park City, died in Butte last week. His
remains were brought TO this city for
! interment, his wife, who died last May,
being buried here He leaves a family
! of five sons, one of whom is in the
! Philippines. He was a member of the
A. o. u W., and a committee from the
! lodge had charge of the funeral, which
/ took place from st. Mary's cathedral
| last Sunday afternoon, Rev. Father
Kelly officiating. The children from
St AIMS rendered the music. Many
old time friends and all of Park City s
prominent mining men attended the
funeral. Rev Father Kelly delivered
the beautiful funeral sermon 9nd paid a
high tribute to the sterling qualities of
the deceased miner in the following
words:
"A good name is better than precious
ointment "-Ecclesiastes, vii, l.
Nine months have not passed since
the deceased came into this church as
a nnourner for the wife he loved. Sur
rounded by his family all shed bitter
tears for the faithful wife and loving
mother The home, where all was
peace and happiness, was then broken.
For that family in the old home there
could be no more sunshine. Bowed
down with grief the father left his old
home and went to Montana. Yester-
day he came back to us in his coffin.
and today his grateful children witness
the sad rites which, with him, they wit
messed here last May, when the partner
of his life and their mother was laid
to rest in Calvary cemetery. Those who
saw him last May did not think he
would survive his wife very long. His
heart went into the grave with her.
Nothing but his strong faith could en-
able him to endure, with such patience
and resignation as he did, that great
ordeal. The day before her burial 7
was with him at the cemetery. where
he selected a lot. After spending an
hour with the old cemetery looking for
the graves of two of his children who
were buried there many years before,
he succeeded in locating them. Then
he gave orders that their remains he
placed side by side with their mother
he, said to me: Il will soon be with
them. Yes. he is with them. NOT in tha
grave, but in heaven, where there is no
mourning, no sorrow. and where there

THE SUNSET GUN.

As the last echoes of the sunset gun
roll and reverberate along the western
hills ard die away off somewhere in
those purple-tinted cloUus, we are ush-
cred into fancyg domain, there to
while away a pleasant half hour or
two.
The boom, boom of the gun, coming
! to US through the hay air, carries with
1t something like a farewell to the
dying day. As this parting salute is
! fired from Fort Douglas the temporary
home of the soldiers, it awakena a
curious train of reflections, and we are
borne on the swift wings Of thought
! to some distant camping ground.
1t is night. In the vast blue dome,
the multitudinOus stars come out, ore
by one.
In imagination the eye wanders from
tent to tent. which, in the pale moon
light, take the appearance of gigantic
birds. spreading their white wings for
flight. The words of the familiar old
song, dear to every soldiers heart,
"Tenting on the Old Camp Ground, -
strike a few chords on memOry's harp.
Perhaps, under alien skies, the pride
of the household, the flower of his ma
tive village, IS, tonight, resting his
weary head on his only pillow, the
knapsack.
Afar off the blue line of sky meets
the bare, brown earth. Though no
gay-vOiced bells ring out the tidings
there is in the air that something which
speaks of the Yuletide
As the soldier gazes at the sentinel
stars, visions of home, of his fond
mother, and the happy circle around
the blazing hearth, come to his mind.
Then he thinks of the vacant place in
that loved group.
Something glistens on his cheek.
What Isl it? All! the soldiers heart is
not too brave for tears. With his
rough, brown hand he brushes away
the shining drop. But in a moment
all is changed. The inspiring strains
of The Starry Banner" are waited to
him through the distance.
His trusty gun is clasped in a warm
er embrace; he burns with patriotism;
the blood tingles within his veins and
he Isl determined that on the morrow
no blot shall mar the pure surface of
his country's flag. But finally he is
wrapped in the peaceful folds of sleep;
his lips are curved in a happy smile.
He is at home once more; the yule-log
is blazing on the hearth; great feStOOnS
of mistletoe and holly fall from the
ceiling; rare roses shed their perfume
on the air. and all enjoy to the utmost
that sweetest, purest blessing, the
the family reunion at
Chris tnlastide.
But suddenly the notes of the re-
veille break upon his ear; he realizes
with dumb pain that he is not at home,
listening to the chant of Christmas
carols, but is tenting on a foreign
ground, and that all these
bright visions have been but dream
a soldiers dream.
To what distant climes has the BOOM
ing of the sunset gun taken us! Let
us, too, call back our thoughts that
have strayed too far afield.
The last glimmer of daylight has
faded; the purple shades of evening
have fallen over the land. and as we
gaze upward the words of our Long |
fellow come unbidden to our lips:
silently, one by one, in the infinite !
meadows of heaven, blossom the lovely |
stars. the forget-me-nots of the an
