The Competitive Examination for Free
Scholarship.
EARLY in May the College of st.
Thomas. Merriam Park. invited
through their pastors the Catholic boys
of Minnesota, North Dakota and South
Dakota to compete, in a written ex-
animation, for three absolutely free
scholarships, to be given in the aca-
demc department of the college dur
ing the scholastic year 19O1-19O2.
1.-The Archbishop Ireland Scholar
ship valued at 5000. This scholar
ship included board, tuition, lodging
and laundry for one year; and it was
to be awarded to the competitor at
tnining the highest general average in
the examination, no hlatter where the
competitor might reside.
2.-"The Archbishop Grace Scholar
ship" valued Mt $50 This scholarship
gave to the winner one years tuition;
and 1t was to be awarded to the most
successful one among the competitors
who reside in st. Paul.
3.-'rhe Bishop Cretin Scholarship"
valued ut $50. This scholarship was
offered to the most successful one
among the competitors who reside in
Minneapolis: Il years tuition.
1t will be seen that this arrange
ment made it possible for two st. Paul
boys or two Minneapolis boys to win
scholarships.
The competition. was open only to
Catholic boys who had attended school
this year and who had not yet taken
high school studies. Boys from high

There are some shallow young men
who delight in appearing as "free-

Some even of Catholic ancestry are
among these, and while they would,
perhaps. declare themselves to be
Catholics, they show very plainly they
are not possessed of the true Catholic
spirit by the manner in which they de-
claim against Catholic customs and
observances and even against tenets
which involve faith in Christianity.

compliment to their mental ability
based upon their advanced views in
the matter of religion. They remind
one of the story Of certain French

So it is with numbers today who

them from almost any exercise of

The Skulls of Saints.

William +. Curtis, Il correspondent
of the Chicago Record Herald, travel
ing in Europe and supplying informa-
ton to the readers of that paper, says
in one of his letters:
This reminds me that st. Peter
had two skulls, which are kept among
the relics of two churches in the Eter-
nal City and are shown to strangers
One of the skulls is much larger than
the other, which suggested an AMIGA
bic arrangement to the cardinal at a
time when there was a fierce dispute
between the rival churches as to which
had the genuine skull. Since then
each has been perfectly contented with
it's own, the smaller skull having been
officially determined to be that of st.
Peter when he was boy and the
larger when he was man,
When we first heard this story it
was st. Patrick who supplied the
skulls to Dublin museum, says Fa-
Their Lambert in the Freeman's Jour
nal. "Whose skull is that?" asked a
visitor. The attendant, who wished
to give him the full worth of his mon
ey, in establishment said, "'That is the
skull of st. Patrick After time
another visitor. pointing to another
skull, asked whose it was. "That,"
said the attendant, sis the skull OF
st. Patrick" But" said the first Wis.
itor, "you told me that this large skull
there was st. Patrick's, and now you
say that small one was his" Ger
tainly I did," said the roguish attend
ant. "You see, that small one there
was taken before he was bishop,
and this big one here was taken after
ward, when he was bishop and need
ed a big head. Do We think man
with that small skull there could run
Il diocese? Why, just look into it,
is"
The joke, as illustrative of Irish wit
and ability to get out of an awkward
situation, serves it's purpose. But when
Mr.. Curtis plagiarizes and transports
it to Rome. and tells it seriously as a
historical fact for the information Of
his readers. it is quite another thing.
He is the first, so far as we know, who
gave the joke Roman frame and
background, the first to rob it of it's
innocent Irish drollery and give it a
sinister meaning We have given his
transported version for the purpose of
asking him for more particulars.

City are these two skulls shown to
strangers?

tween the rival churches take place?
3. Who was the cardinal who set
tied the dispute?

statement? 1t should not permit it.

There was bunch of visiting Elks
standing in the lobby of the Hotel
Pfster expatiating upon it's elegant
lobby and office and general excellence,
when the conversation was turned to
railroad facilities and luxuries enjoyed
by them on their coming to Milwaukee,
to attend the Elks' carnival and grand
lodge. One gentleman who had come
from Philadelphia had told about the
elegance of the limited train over
which he had come to Chicago. After
a general interchange of opinion al
Elk from New York city, who had
come on in advance of the carnival,
and had gone to Duluth to visit
friends, broke in, saying:
Gentlemen, you may talk about
your limited train services in the East
or where you will, but 1 want to tell
you of q limited train in the West on

kee. 1t is operated in daylight by the

the interior finish is in mahogany and

The charge for the full entire of both

from Duluth to Minneapolis is just 25
cents additional to the regular train

additional luxuries and comfort for
only 25 cents! I have been all over

outlay as had on the Northern Paci-

The Cry of the Exile.

Hear We the cry of the exile from over
the ocean waves,
Hear We the cry from prairie and plain,
the cry from million graves
From lands where shine the Southern
Cross, where mad Niagara raves.
Hank We the cry from a thousand
fields where'er was fought a fight,
From Families to Dendermond, Bos-
ton to Marye's Heights,
Hear We the cry of the exiled dead,
their mandate is "Unite!"
Hear We the cry of the living, the ex-
lies cry that rings
From where Missouri wanders, and
far La Plata springs,
From drear Australian husband where
never a warbler sings.
Here is the cry of the Exiles-"Our
souls are sad to see,
Her ranks all rent and broken, her
chiefs that sundered be,
Unite! let the banded people proclaim
they shall be free"
Heed We the voice of the Exiles from
Clear unto Malin Head,
Heed We the voice of the living, heed
We the voice of the dead,
He that not needs is traitor; look We
his hands are red!
See, while We rant and squabble, the
Lands best life-blood flows,
With anguish heart and broken, the
peasant to exile goes,
Bleeding and bound lies Erin, the scorn
and jest of her foes.
He is traitor to Ireland who now
shrnks back from the fight,
Deal him the doom he merits, true
men, up in your might!
Cease, in Gods name, to quarrel
brothers, be one, Unite!
Heed We the voice of the Exiles, the
cry of the quick and the dead,
He that not heeds is a traitor, look
and his hands are red,
The blood of murdered nation, the
curse of God on his head!
