STORY OF ST. JOSEPH.
A Touching Tale Told by Priest In
BOerlanA.

Father O'Haire, well known as hav-
ing spent many years in South Africa
-as missionary, recently told the fol-
lowing thrilling story:
During several of the twelve years
1 spent in Africa had under my pas
toral care the sole charge Of a district
as large as England. Periodically 1
made a visitation of my scattered
flock. On one of these vast excursions
I lost my way, and found myself wan
dering without the slightest idea of
the locality. could see no one. 1t
was season Of drouth; no rain had
fallen and my horses were scarcely
able to drag along my cart for want
of water. At length came to Boer
farm, in this, to me, unknown valley.
The whole country was scorched
There was, however, a waterdam near
the house; approaching the Dutch
farmer, told him my story and asked
him if he would allow my horses. to
, drink; permission was given. I told
the farmer I was a Catholic priest; he
was Protestant. ooh, then," he said,
eff you go in the out house you will
find laborer who is dying-he is a
Catholic"
entered there and found the poor
fellow, client. of st. Joseph, near
death. When told him was a Cath
, Ole priest of the district of "Cudts-
horn" one hundred and fifty miles
away, he lifted his wasted body and
exclaimed, in accents of deepest graft
tude:
"Ah, st. Joseph, I knew you would
send me priest, so as to give me
comfort before die!''
'What has st. Joseph to do with the
matter?" asked, and here is his story:
"When boy in Ireland, my mother,
a good Catholic, taught me to say,
every day, st. Joseph, pray for me
that may die happy DEATH have
never for one day neglected that
prayer. made my first communion
at 10, and served mass till was is.
I entered the army at Fl, and came out
to the Kaffir war.
Before leaving, Ireland I went in
my uniform and babe my poor old
mother good-by. On parting from her,
she said, Don't forget your prayer to
| St. Joseph I came out to the Kaff1r
war. When it was over my time had
expired. I was discharged and stayed
at the Cape. There was no priest
nearer me than Cape Town-5OO miles
away. hired out on this Dutch farm
and here have been for years. Lately
7 heard of your arrival at Cudtshorn-
$50 miles away-and set out in deli
cate health in hope of going to confes-
sion and communion. Arriving at your
home, weary, was told that you were
away on your visitation and might not
, be back for months. After week I
returned, and here landed yesterday,
nearly dying, and here is the priest
today sent by st. Joseph"
That night instructed him and
heard his confession. The next morn
ing 1 said mass and gave him holy
communion, and soon after I gave ex-
IRENE JUNCTION and last blessing. He
then died, saying with his last breath:
est Joseph, pray for me that may
die happy dealt"

For the Man Who Fails.

For the Man Who Fails.
The world is snob, and the man who
wins
Is the chap for its moneys worth;
And the lust for success causes half
Of the sins
That are cursing this brave old
earth. -
For it's fine to go up, and the worlds
applause
Is sweet to the mortal ear;
But the man who fails in noble
Is hero that's no less dear.
: TITS true enough that the laurel crown
Twines but for the victor's brow;
For many hero has lain him down
With naught but the cypress Dough.
There are gallant men in the losing
fight,
And~as. gallant deeds are done
As ever graced the captured height,
SQr the battle grandly won.
We sit at life's board with our nerves
high strung,
And we play for the stake of fame,
And odes are sung and our banners
hung
For the man who wins the game.
But have song Of another kind
Than breatIes in these fame
wrought gales
An ode to the noble heart and mind
OF the gallant man who fails.
The man who is strong to fight his
fight,
And whose will no front can daunt,
If the truth be truth and the right be
right,
Is the man that the ages want.
Tho he fail and dieSin grim defeat,
Yet he has not fled the strife,
And the house of Earth will seem
more sweet
For the perfume Of his life.

SLIGO.
The announcement of the death of
Colonel Cooper, of Markree Castle,
comes with somewhat of shock
T after the death of his wife so recently.
Mrs. Cooper was connected with
I London banking firm, and had large
fortune in her own right, while the
colonel's rent-roll was about 10000
year. Their eldest son, the heir to
both estate and fortune died recently,
|'of enteric fever in the English army
in South Africa. The younger son,
who will succeed, discarded the fam
lilly traditions by marrying some years
ago Catholic lady in India. The
family had always been uncomprom-
ising1y Tory.

that verdict OF guilty in the case at
bar should be followed by the burning
down of the courthouses and the run
ming of plows through the ruins of
these destroyed temples OF justice.
The solicitor Generals Argument.
Solicitor General Osborne closed for
the state and got very much more
out of the case than many supposed
there was in it. He dwelt upon the
environments surrounding Deegan
and Dortic and discussed the character
OF the language used by Deegan; lam
guage, he said, that is commonly heard
in barrooms. The prosecuting attor-
ney's manner of reasoning was unique
and clever and he held the undivided
attention of jury and spectators alike.
He insisted that the strict observance
OF the law Is of vital Importance.
Counsel declared that the testimony
of Kavanaugh. an innocent victim, had
to be believed and that the shooting
occurred just as he described 1t from
the witness stand. He picked flaws in
the statement of the prisoner. and his
argument was logical throughout.
Judge Barrow's charge was impair
tial and able and was listened to at
tentively by the Jury and spectators.
The charge was concluded at 4;35
o'clock and at that hour the jury re-
tired for elaboration.

FASHION WOULD SUFFER.

The leading idea of reform in wo-
mans dress says Princess Ysenburg
IN the North American Review, is that
every garment ought to fit according
IN the natural lines of the figure, With
out any impeachment, without pinch
inc or exclusion of free air that is sup
nosed to penetrate as freely as possible
through the clothing. I am afraid that
elegance will be the sufferer for some
time to come, for the medical celeb
rites. who are thinking only OF the
practlcal side and wishing to give re
lief TO their patients suffering through
their mode of dressing, leave 1T TO
those whose profession it is to think
how TO introduce their planned reforms
into practical use. Yet this form or
suffering of elegance will only wear so
long as fashion ignores those reforma-
tory views. If the leaders of fashion
would take the reform of woman
dress in hand and go in boldly for It,
breaking with the traditions of high
collars and pinched waists, Louis
Ouinze heels, wells, ETC., the dawn OF
the reformed woman's dress would
quickly come, the scale would turn IN
accordance, and the fashion of to-day
would be scorned by those who are now
its warmest followers and adorers'
