Equal to the Emergency.

This is the story Of II man who be-
came a successful merchant. \ few
years ago he was employed as an Of
flee boy and messenger for IA large
firm. He was sent to collect an ac-
count from firm that was consld-
cred very "shaky," and was told to
get the money ut all hazards, i,
Tie debtors gave the lad a check
for $50. He went to the bank at
once to cash it, and was told by the
cashier that there were not enough
funds to meet it.
"How much short?' asked the
lad
Thirty shillings," was the an
swer.
1t lacked but a minute or two OF
the time for the bank to close. The
boy felt in his pockets, took out 30
shillings and, pushing the money
through the window, said:
PUT that to the credit OF * Go. :
The cashier did SO, whereupon the
boy presented the check and got the
money.
K Co. failed the nextday, and
their chagrin can better be imagined
than described when they found out
the trick that had been played upon
them.-Tit-Bits.

liquor traffic in this northwestern me-
tropolis. They induced several to
abandon ten business and dissuade,l
others from going into it.
In st. Paul and other Minnesota
cities and towns we do not know the
representation of Irish Catholics in
the liquor business, but presume it is,
at least as low as in this city. Total
abstinence societies are scattered all
over the state, and the bishops and
priests are directing them. Speaking
for Minnesota the Irish Standard can
confidently say that the element of the
population which it represents is more
free from the liquor faint than any
other, and that the citizens Of Irish
birth or descent who are engaged in
the sale of Intoxicating liquors are SUI
perior in responsibility to the majority
Of the vendors Of alcohol in other
states. 1t is necessity, rather than
choice, that impelled many of them to
embark in the odious occupation. 4
large number of them are strictly
temperate themselves, and never sell
to minors or habitual drunkards.

COLONIAL iARDoR ABArING.

In Australia and Canada the war
fever has subsidized. England has been
forced by her necessities to ask these
colonies for troops, but the response
is cold and tafdy. 1t was not so at
the outbreak Of the South African
| war. Then to their eternal shame
Australia and Canada sent troops to
the Transvaal to Stay Beers who had
done their people no harm, and who
were fighting only for rights such as
the colonists themselves in great
measure enjoy. 1t was expected that
the colonial troops would play prom
inent part in a short and decisive
war. but the valor of the Beers de-
stroyed that illusion and frustrated
the designs of the ambitious imperial
lists beyond the seas" The ranks
of the volunteers were broken by the
Boer sharp-shooters. The English
officers treated the colonists as mer-
cenaries and regarded their preten-
sions to equality with contempt AS
the result volunteering has practically
ceased. The compliments paid the
colonial troops by King edward and
his ministers have fallen fiat. The
colonists are in bad humor. To crown
their grievances England has actually
ordered meat from the Argentine mer-
chants instead OF from the thrifty Aus
tralians who were not averse to max
ing some money by this atrocious
war.
We do not believe that the people of
Australia and Canada approve Of
England's perfdious conduct in
Africa. The imperialists, such as
Lord Strathcona, who promoted the
despatch of troops to Africa, do not
represent the liberty-loving colonists
of French. Irish. and even British de-
scent who have no sinister designs to
serve and at heart abhor the acts Of
Chamberlain and his infamous gang

THE FlL1r1Nos ARE CHRISTIANS.

In recent speech in Boston, Presi.
dent Schurman of Cornell University
who was made president of the first
Philippine commission by President
Mckinley, made some remarks which
have attracted much comment at
home and in the Orient. Among 9TH
er things he said the Filipinos Of LII
zon and Visayas are Christians whose
welfare should be considered before
that of the Mohammedans and other
tribes Of the archipelago. He favored
giving them independence, and de
clared when he accepted the appoint
ment from President Mckinley he
was told that ''the sole object of tax.
ing the Philippines was the humani.
tartan one of carrying to them the
blessings Of liberty"
President Schurman thinks that the
Christian Filipinos ought to have
rights to which the polygamists of the
