THE OLD MAN HAS A DhEAM.

En- vet ! dreamt the night fore last

T'het mother was alive again,
En- smilin thrO' her tears.
I thought 'twus nearin' bedtime,

En- turned the leaves fer me.
Till we saw that same old picter
OF the good Lord en- His sheep,
totin high the wand rim lamb
Jes fore l went ter sleep.
En- then she sang tibet same Of song
OF tibet Shepherd good en- klnd'
Who left the ninety nine alone
The wand rim one ter find.
En- oh her song was Jes as sweet
Els in the days long dead.
Her kiss was jes' es warm WI love-
When she carried me ter bed

A dream it could not be.
1t seemed tibet mother surely came,

When thet good Lord would leave TN

The Slave of a Habit.

a writer in the Catholic Union and
Times credits an old Irish rector with
the following:
81 well remember an old parishioner
of mine who had contracted the habit
of saying 'Begob' when he needed, or
rather, thought he needed swear
word. 1 undertook to try and break
him of the bad habit, but found L
had overestimated my ability.
=" DO you know. Pat / said one day,
the way you swear sometimes is some
thing awful?'
No. an I don't, yer reverence.
How's that?'
Why. you say "begob' upon the
least provocation and you might as
we'll use the name of the Lord outright
as to use a substitute. Don't you know
you are swearing when you say that?
L don't, begob.'
There you go again.
Faith, that's right. begob.
''I then proceeded to lecture him
thoroughly and made use of some fine
phrases, and when I had finished he
looked at me in admiration, and in a
long drawl said:
We'll, by Gawb.'-"

SALT AND PEPPER.
Many Think They Are Only of Value
in Seasoning Food.

Many Think They Are Only of Value
in Seasoning Food.
Salt and pepper as generally consid-
cred, are of value IN bringing out the
flavor of food to which they are added.
That they have any value from
health standpoint is not so generally
recognized. You may know that lump
of salt is good for a horse, but you do
not stop to consider how important salt
is for your own well-being. In eastern
countries the condiments. such as pep
per, are used to profusion in all
foods. Gastric troubles, common
enough in other countries, are .conspic-
uously absent, and the free use Of
pepper has much to do with that fact.
Salt and pepper work against ferment-
alton. When the stomach is out of or
der, or, as the common saying is.
upset, it is in a state of fermentation.
A certain very wise physician who
has advanced to the point where
drugs seem the unimportant thing and
common sense the important in making
the sick well, is advocating the use of
pepper and salt even in a glass of milk
1t improves the flavor to remarka BILE
degree fact you can prove to your
own satisfaction by taking two glasses
of milk, one in its original simplicity,
the other changed by the addition of
pinch of salt and dash of pepper,
then sip little of each. The chances
are that you will prefer the seasoned
milk. Besides improving the flavor and
overcoming the tendency toward fer
mentation, the pepper will practically
disable any microbes that may be float
ing in the fluids. Thus the gastric
juices will perform their perfect work
of changing microbes to food.
One of the best remedies for a dis
turbed digestion is hot water to which
have been added salt and paprika. If
taken full hour and half before
breakfast, cupful of this very palat-
able drink will completely cleanse the
stomach and leave it in good condi-
ton. Out of hundred persons select
ed at random it is no exaggeration to
say that eighty eat too much and also
that these same eighty fail of proper
mastication. Weakened digestions are.
of course. the direct result of over
eating and insufficient mastication, and
weakened digestions means undermined
systems. AT the extremes of life. youth
and old age. it is wisdom to make the
diet much the same. child's nourish
ment should be very simple. SO in old
age ii should grow palmer and plain

HIDE MONEY IN QUEER PLACES
Experiences Show That Banks Are
PRETTY Safe Place For Cash.

It NAV not be entirely sanitary or
perfectly convenient to wear the same
petticoat eleven years without ever
taking it off, but there are probably
many people who would do it for 81, 100.
That is what Mrs. Lee of Jersey CITY
did, and now her son William, who
found the money after she died, is try
ing by law to get it back from the man
he loaned it to. If he had followed
his mothers example. and worn the
petticoat, he would have his money
still.
It is not on record that the possession
of the money did Mrs. Lee any good.
She saved her earnings while employed
as a nurse in hospital in Baltimore,
and when she left she put the money
in chamois bag and sewed 1t into
her petticoat There she kept it con-
tinually. night and day, for the next
eleven years, and when she was dying
she took the petticoat off, handed 1t to
her son, and said:
Here. William, is your heritage.
Search it well. 1t is worth more tnan
you think
William searched accordingly and
found the funds, but a willy man got
them away from him, and now he Is

it. That was the last time he ever saw
the money, though he broke down from

a year later. He had not been in his

CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY.
Annual Meeting and Banquet of the
Alumni Association.


A matter of great interest to the uni
ve1sity is the coming of the committee
appointed at the last meeting of the
board of trustees. in order to study the
problem of the university development,
both from an academic as we'll as from
a financial point of view. Many plans
will be discussed, and it is felt a great
impetus will be given to the univer-
sity work. The committee consists of
Right Rev. John L. Spalding. d. D.,
chairman; Most Rev. John j. keane,
D. D., and Right Rev. Camillus 2.
Macs. D. D.
The annual meeting of the Alumni
association of the university is always
an occasion of pleasurable anticipation
to the past students of the university.
and the meeting and banquet held at
Baltimore on Tuesday afternoon, Feb.
4. was among the most successful in
the history of the Alumni.
The banquet was very successful.
and it was graced by the presence of
His Eminence Cardinal Gibbons, who
made a brief address, in which he ex-
pressed his satisfaction at so large a
gathering, and his deep interest in the
university. He was also pleased that
so many of his priests had studied at
that institution.
The first toast was Leo Kill" and
was responded to by the Right Rev.
Rector. Bishop Conaty. who spoke of
the deep love of the Holy Father for
the university. It's founder and spe-
cial protector, he had always evinced
the greatest concern in it's develop
ment. Bishop Conaty alluded to the
manifestations of this interest in the
honors which he had showered upon it
recently, in the election of members Of
it's administratio and teaching corps
to positions of greatest honor. He
urged loyalty to the ideals of the great
Leo. and said that deYotedness to the
university and its, development would
be the best means of proving that 10y

BABY's OUTFIT.
Takes a Hundred Dollars to Buy One
Nowadays.


A baby's outfit nowadays cannot be
procured for less than 500, and it is not
the material, but the expense of the
hand work that makes baby clothes so
costly.
The 500 outfit does not include tucks,
real lace or embroidery, but it does in
dude thoroughly comforta bile though
far more limited rousseau than
mothers used to think necessary.
Dresses. gowns. bands and caps by the
dozen are no longer considered the es-
sential, and the old estimate for a COM
plete layette is cut down by half. The
clothes have been greatly reduced in
! bulk also.
Instead of wool underskirts the well
conditioned baby wears firm spun silk,
and it has pretty socks of the same
materials. The flannel is of wool care
fully woven with silk. to render it I'M
shrinkable, and even the finest layettes
that come from Paris have the petit

ceedingly fine cotton. Linen is not
considered the proper fabric TO lay

The first ornament that baby

Is a string of small, very round and
very red coral beads. The corals are
alleged to keep the blood pure and
soothe the nerves, and it is Furthermore

to the benign influence of these beads
she attributes the health of her only

were acquired, was exceedingly deli

Catholic public The tact that a woman
of education and talent may have
special vocation in our day is not so
often limited at, but it is, nevertheless,
true that such may be the case. 1t is
mistake to imagine that true voca-
tons are found only in the cloister.
There are men and women working
and striving in the everyday life about
us who are doing Gods work as well,
and as much under the Spirit of God as
as if they were clothed with the habit
of religion. While Tliza Allen Starr,
in her modesty during life, never hint
ed at such a vocation, yet she did as
truly a God-given work and left the
impress of her talents on the Catholic
people as if she had been the founder
of hospitals or the creator OF schools.
1t is good to study a character like
Miss Stairs and to realize that one
with talent may work out career for
herself-may do a great work while
she lives and may go down to her
grave with the blessings of thousands.
