Any door that leads into church." says 'Bob'' Burdette, who is now a regularly ordained preacher, ..is holy. And the one that is widest and plain est, and stands open twenty-four hours day, all the year round, and is never shut, is the holiest-the one that shall be open continually; that shall not be shut day or night where the feet that are lame and that stumble, the feet that drag with weariness. that are lost and seek nothing but peace and rest, can find their way.'' Commenting on the above the Catholic Transcript says: The doors of Catholic church. es are open, the world over. Those who have an actual, living faith in the Real Presence want to be free to visit and adore at any time. If churches are nothing but mere meet ing houses there is no special reason for keeping them open outside of the hours fixed for services. It is said that the Episcopalians of Waterbury are going to follow the custom of the Catholics and have their temples ac- cessible at all hours of the day. This is well, for some of them pretend to believe in the Real Presence despite the abjuration of their new pope.

wi1helmtna,s First Love.

Although romantic writers have made much ''copy" out of the Dutch queens approaching marriage, it is we'll known at The Hague that Duke heinrich is not the young man who originally caught the royal fancy of the young queen. The first favorite was Prince Adolf, Heinrich's elder brother, and very good-looking young officer. 'Willful Wilhelmina' smiled most abiably upon him, and in due time the proper authorities were commanded to sound the prince on the subject. But Adolf was coy and too fond of life and gayety to con
 ont to become the corsort of the i'm
 erious young person who rules over the most peaceful but also the dull est court in Europe. Adolf refused to be wooed, and it was an open secret at court that the queens disappoint- ment and cnagrin were the cause of the prolonged delay in the announce ment of her engagement to the young CT brother. At the same time, the good Hollanders tell each other, with much satisfaction, that Heinrich is be- loved of WiIhelmina, or she would never, never wed him-not if hun dred ministers were to ask her to- N.

HEARD IN PASSING

Representative Feeley of Chicago, q democrat, will. be the youngest mem Der of the next house. He is only 23.
 Parents do not often injure their children. Consequently We are not expecting any republican legislation that will injure the big steel trust.
 MT Mckinley seems to have whipped or bribed the republican senatorial op- position to an extra session of con- gress into silence if not acquiescence.
 The billion dollar Morgan steel trust has too strong a hold on the republi- can bosses to fear that the BaDcock bill repeating the tariff on steel prod ucts will go through congress.
 It is announced that General Kitch- ener is to have financial adviser. We had supposed from the way General De Wet had outwitted him that he was more in need of q military ad- wiser.
 The tariff war with Russia, into which the administration has dragged this country. may be very serious affair; and it is not calculated to in- crease the peoples respect for the ad- ministration to know that its begin ming was prompted by fayOritism tO- ward the sugar trust.

OLD FASHIONED NAMES.

A Presbyterian minister who is in charge of church in a fashionable section of the city. says he is gratified to observe that the plain. old fash toned names are once more coming into vogue.
 My attention has been called to this in christening babies,' he said yes terday. The fancy names for girls are now very seldom used. The Mar guerites. Maries, Rabettes. Maybelles, you know the style, have given way to the good old names our mothers and grandmothers used to bear. Still, there may be a danger in going to the other extreme, although as yet there has been no indication of coupling two names. such as Sarah Jane and Mary Ann. which used to be done. But of late q great many girl babies have been christened with such good old names as Ruth. Martha. Maria, Jane and the ke."-Philadelphia Record.

Representative Bell of Colorado,

Representative Bell of Colorado, a member of the committee on aDpropri- ations. made q telling speech against the unprecedented extravaganza of the present congress, in which he said it was time for the people to become alarmed at the rapid increase in pub lie expenditures, which had grown in q single decade from $4.75 per capita to more than $1O per capita. He said that congress had become so callous to vast increases in appropriations that It was considered almost disreputable to call attention to the extrayarance or the government. Representative Cochran of Missouri made q speech along similar lines.

SCREW LOOSE SOMEWHERE.

After the good old lady had been to see her grandson in school she reached home in daze, had no appetite for dinner and retired three hours before her regular time. Next morning she got her daughter in a corner and talked right at her.
 Did you ever go to Johnnie's school? Do you know what kind of leaden weights they are storing in that little head of his? used to visit your school when you were about his age. You were spelling words of one sylla- ble and reading about the cat and the home you could eat, play. sleep and talk like child. If you want to raise that boy get him to studying some thing adapted to his age, experience and ability to understand.
 There he stood as though he were reciting the catechism. He believed in the municipal ownership of public util- ities. I liked to have fallen off my chair. He believed that we should have political primaries instead of political conventions. He believed that United States senators should be elect ed by direct vote of the people and that franchises have an assessable value.
 Gracious! I had him excused and he walked home with me. Johnnie, said l, spell booby.' He never came near 1t. He got hat all right and fell down on watch and then told me that civilization must follow the flag. asked him how many people there are in Detroit and what direction the river runs. He looked blank and then pro- ceeded to inform me that the great problem of the day was the establish | ment of honesty and economy in the administration of municipal govern, 1 ment. He defined municipal owner. ship by saying that It was what Pin gree and Maybury want, and politi- cal convention as a place where they l bl1y votes and smoke. He didn't know where our flag is, that civilization should follow it, or how it would gel l there if it attempted to make a trip 1 I'll run away with him just as true as l you stand there if you don't give him l a chance to learn something that he l can learn. n.'-Detroit Free Press.
