Feast of ,iregory.

st. Gregory's feast day was OBJ
served last week, st. Gregory being
also known as Theodorus, the worker
of wonders.
st. Gregory was born of wealthy
parents. AT IA years of age he lost
his father, and his mother pursued
the plan, begun by the father, to give
the boy literary education, with the
intention of bringing him up to the
bar and to the practice of oratory.
He made wonderful progress in
oratory, learning tine Latin tongue
very quickly. His masters also per
suaded him to study Roman laws.
His sister being married to the as
s!stant of the Governor of Caesa~ ea
in Palestine. Gregory accompanied
her to this place. witt his brother
Atherdorus who was afterwards q

From Caesarea the two brothers
went to Berytus, to attend a famous
school Of the Roman law, and after a
short stay, returned to Caesarea.
Origen had arrived there in 23l,
having left Alexandria to avoid the
trouble given him there by Demetrius
The great man opened a school at
Caesarea, and the brothers. charmed
with his discourses, laid aside all
thoughts Of going back to Berytus.
During this time the persecution
broke cut in the east under Maxim al
AMI fIally Origen was obliged to
leave Caesarea
In the meantime Gregory repaired
to Alexandria, where there flourished
a famous school of the Platonic
philosophy
Gregory remained at Alexandria

FISHING AND WISHING.

Three little folk by the meadow brook,
With a line of twire and bent PIN
hook,
and on eager, earnest, serious look
AS ii they were coming lesson book,
Sat resolutely fishing!
But either the fish were wondrous
wise,
Or they had the sharpest kind Of eyes,
For they wouldn't bite, to the great
surprise
Of the little folk, who said, with signs,
Lets play e game of wishing"
81 wish" said Tom, "for pot of gold
With every minute that has been told
Since the day the earth was young or
old;
I'D have more money than could hold.
See what | get by wishing
81 wish" said Ned, that the ships at
sea,
And all that is in them belonged 30
me,
And all that have been, OF ever will be;
My wish is the best, don't you agree?
And worth a day of fishing"
Il wish,' said Moll, with toss Of her
head,
And pout of her lips that were cherry
red,
You'd get your wishes, just as you
said
And give them to me-now, Tom and
Ned,
I've got the most by wishing!"
And all day long in the woodland
shade,
The three little fisherfolk sat and
played,
And oh, the millions of money they
made,
Tho never dollar of it was paid,
Was worth year of fishing!

CT the affair, and a bright spot in a
political horizon otherwise dark, is the
stanch adherence of a powerful Sec

the American government bowed
Great Britain and all the other ma

was pretty sure ultimately to take pos
session not only of the canal, but of
the country through which the canal

tween the republic and Panama, is
alarmed, and not without good reason.
A vast extension southwark, incorpor-
ating such races as the Mexican, in

so various and such diversity of com

held together by q single government

Besides, the race which founded and

ing deluged in its own seats by a tor
rent of alien immigration, and at the

There is charm, a fascination,
about circus life that is hard to ex-

an undesirable existence, being buff
eued about from place to place, often
without a he'd to sleep in, and the
wages, outside the salaries paid to a
few stars, are amazingly small Yet
when a man once gets taste of circus
lie it's all up with him He's never
good for anything else, and never
wants to be. There must be a mi
crobe bred OF the sawdust, that gets
into his blood. Take the canvaser,
for instance. They get 500 month
and their board, which usually consists
of bad meals, and an impromptu bed in
wagon. Often they don't take their
clothes off for weeks at a time. There's
one man | know who possesses more
than the average intelligence. He has
"a trade, and during the winter he
makes, on an average, $40 a week
And yet, just as soon as the circus
season opens, he throws up his job
and goes out on the road with a show
for $40 a month. In almost every town
the management is besieged by men
and boys who want to go along, and
many of them offer their services for
their board. It's a queer state of
affairs"

Much credence is given in New

Hamburg-American Steamship
Company with the Wabash and
the Kansas City, Mexico d Orient
Railways. Partial confirmation Of
the alliance has been given out at
the New York Office of the steam
ship company. This alliance will
be one of the greatest that has ever
been formed and means that the
ships of the steamship company
will practically circle the globe as
a new service is to be established
from the Pacific coast.
The idea has been under con-
sideration for some time and
especially so since the construction
of the Orient was commenced. Vice
President Dickinson of the Orient
has been one Of the chief promoters
for the establishment of the ALI
ance.
The completion of the Orient will
likely require two years more,
which also allows the steamship
company to provide new vessels for
the Pacific. As the Eastern terminus
of the Orient is at Kansas City and
an agreement has been made with
the Wabash TO handle the business
between that point and the At
lantic seaboard. George j. Gould,
the real head of the Wabash system,

in the Stilwell project and he and
