they brought delegates from their So
cieties. Up to that time. as Mr.. Min
ahan tells US, it looked as if the move
ment would fiZzle out
We look for some good results, how
ever, from a federation of German So
cieties, moving forward with the idea
of representing the general Catholic
body, and clothing its proceedings in
the English language. 1t has merits
in the eyes of those who would well
come a broadening of Catholic public
spirit and mutual accommodation of
views.
AT the same time, it is we'll for both
the federation itself and the Catholic
public to understand that the body
cannot be considered, in it's present
condition. an entirely representative
aggregation. The facts above stated
sufficiently show this. Whether it will
come to represent more than one ele-
ment will depend upon the breadth
and moderation of those composing It,.
The German-American clergy, who so
largely participated in it, are recog-
nized as men of positive views, and
those views much tinctured by nation
al sympathies; but in positions of lead
ership, their attitude may be more
considerable and fraternal.

AUNT BUSY HAS HER SAY.

Dear Nieces and Nephews: Aunt
Busy has not very much to say this
week. She is anxious to hear from
some of her "old-time' nieces and
nephews who have not written to her

come of the Ogden boys? What
has happened to the Dorsey children?
Where, oh where, are the little Man

Aunt Busy's Letter to "a Dear, Little
Friend"
Dear Little Unknown:

Dear Little Unknown:
Aunt Busy received your letter and
was pleased to hear from you, but she
regrets that she cannot publish it, be-
cause you have not signed your name.
1t is positive law in newspaper work
that all unsigned letters or articles
must go into the waste basket, but
Aunt Busy will not treat your dear
little letter that way. She has put it
away in her desk, and by next week
she hopes to be able to. publish it, be-
cause you will send in your name by
then, Will you not, dear? No one will
know anything about it but your old
Aunt Busy. She has received many
unsigned letters, but it was because
the children did not know or under
stand. but Aunt Busy has a theory
that little folks sf~-1ld be told when
they make mistakes. You see, old folks
like Aunt Busy, and old folks older
than Aunt Busy, make mistakes, al
though they are told of their errors
constantly: so the little people should
begin at an early age to correct all
failings, because it is very difficult to
learn much when old and gray.
Aunt Busy hopes to hear from you
very soon again, dear

The. conversation between Uncle Jack
and his nephew turns upon the infiu-
ence of the church upon civil eovAn-
ment. "A profound study of our
(American) institutions and of history,
said Uncle Jack, would disclose the
fact that, in so far as we have our po-
Iitical system deviated from other ma
tions, we have only adopted principles
that the popes for more than a thous-
and years labored in vain to induce the
European nations to adopt, and on the
other hand, that we have more fully
incorporated into our institutions the
spirit of the papal recommendations
and constitutions than any other nation
on earth"
How do you account for that, seeing
that the country has always been most
thoroughly anti-papal?" inquired Dick.
The answer given leads the converse

Our Porto Rican correspondent
writes: "a great deal has been ac-
complished in Porto Rico lately. AS
sociations of Catholics are being formed
in every town, their purpose being at
present to sustain the expenses of
priests in every parish. The church
property question has not yet been set
tied, and will likely be up for discus
sion at the next session of the United
States congress. We do still suffer
the injustice of the appointment of
American Protestant teachers. Of
course native teachers are all Catho-
lies, but about 120 teachers are Prot
estants. Some of them are great sup
porters and workers for Protestant de-
nominations. 1t would do us a great
good If Catholic teachers should be ap-
pointed. We are sorely in need of
Catholic schools for boys. We also
need religious communities to settle
here and erect a school or two. We
are also greatly in need of more
clergy"

The "reaming out" Of the oil
well south OF town will probably
be completed today and boring re-

feet deep a, the present time, and
there is about 900 feet Of water

casing will be dropped to shut off
the flow OF water, the we'll bailed
