A BRAVE CHAMPION
OF WEAK ANIMALS.

Lady Florence Dixie's book, Songs
OF Child" has already reached it's
second edition. 1t is now many years
since the Marquis of Queensberry's only
surviving sister first threw the whole
force OF her energetic nature into the
work Of assuaging animal suffering.
She carries her advocacy of the weak
against the strong TO lengths to which
few dare to follow her.
An instance of this occurred once at
Newmarket. King Edward. then. of
course, Prince of Wales. was standing
in the members inclosure talking to
the lady who is now Duchess of Devon
shire and To Lady Florence. Suddenly
from the other side of the course roar
arose.
A frightened hare had been started
and driven within sight OF the roughs
hanging on the outskirts of the crowd.
Immediately a chase ensued, and the
terrified creature fled for its life yet
farther into danger. An immense mob
followed il for fun" hooting and
shouting, fiinging sticks and making
wild grabs at IL as IL darted hither and
thither. Most people laughed. Bets
were exchanged on it's chance of escape.
Then shout was raised, They've got
it," and the tickle interest of the fash
ionables in the inclosure suddenly
turned TO the subject more especially in
hand. the condition of the favorite and
his rivals, who came down the paddock
Just then.
one person did not even glance at
the race horses. Lady Florence Dixie
quietly left the princes side, walked
quickly 10 where her hack was being
walked about. and in a second she was
i'm the saddle and making at hard
gallop toward the crowd about the
hare. She worked her horse through
the mob of men and made her way to
the navy who had grip of the little
beast. STOPPING suddenly over his
shoulder. she snatched the hare from
his arms.
The man turned with a snar OF rage
and rushed at her horses head. 1t was
an ugly moment But the horse, an

creature free.
Quietly she rode back TO the in
closure. No one there seemed TO have
remarked whittier she had gone or
what she had been about. But IL was
a deed of genuine human kindness and
pluck worthy OF remembrance I'm the

The regular meeting of the
Catholic Benevolent Union of Ha
waii, was held last evening at the
Union Hall, with President Eckardt
in The chair. There was good
attendance and the report Of the
retiring treasurer Fred n osa was
listened to with marked attention.
During the year ending July l,
1902, the Union disbursed $1877.2O
for relief, while receipts from mem
oership dues and donations amount
ed to S2328.75. Mrs. w. G.. Irwin
contributed $3.50 and ths Holy
Ghost Society $50, The Union, at
present has S239 55 in hands, $75, rs
in the bank and $1,000 loaned on

pected that Roman Catholics will
interest themselves in the good

view OF the hard times prevailing, is
expected to grow in usefulness.

To the coal barons the words OF
Leo XIII, in his great Eucyclical on
Labor are matter for soothing.
Worshipers OF Mammon they have
no idea of the dignity OF man as
man. The Father OF Christendom
reminds them of that dignity in this
striking passage in the Encyclical
on Labor:
"But il the owners of property
must be made secure, the Workman,
too, has property and possessions in
which he must be protected; and,
first of all, there are his spiritual
and mental interests. Life on earth,
however good and desirable in itself,
is not the final purpose for which
man is created; it ia only the way
and the means to that attainment of
truth, and that practice of goodness
in which the full life of the soul
consists. 1t is the soul which is
made after the image and likeness
Of God; it is in the soul that sover-
eighty resides, in virtue of which
man is commanded to rule the
creatures below him, and to use all
the earth and the ocean for his pro-
fit and advantage. Fill the earth
and subdue it; and rule over the
fishes OF the sea, and the fowls of
the air, and all living creatures
which move upon the earth. (Gen.
l., 2S) In this respect all men are
equal; there is no difference be-
tween rich and poor, master and
servant, ruler and ruled, for the
same is lord over all. (Rom. x, 12.)
No man may outrage with impunity
that human dignity which God Him
self treats with reverence, nor stand
in the way Of that higher life which
is the preparation for the eternal
life of Heaven. Nay, more; man
has here no power over himself. To
consent to any treatment which is
calculated to defeat the end aud
purpose of his being is beyond his
right; he cannot give up his soul to
servitude; for it is not mans own
rights which are here in question,
but the rights OF God, most sacred
and inviolable.,"
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1902-07-17

The miner himself has no moral
right to accept such conditions, for,
as Leo XIII. puts it, che cannot give
up his soul to servitude, for it 10 not

That profit, large as it ir, does
not represent what the coal barons
pocket. Their coal when retailed
to the public nets them from SIS to

tons OF coal at this price. One is
dazed by the amount of tribute that
