Recently Deceased Artist Had a
Ready Wit, But Seldom Displayed 1t.
The late James McNeiH Whistler
the world-famed artist, was more
noted for his sarcasm than for his:
wit, although he possessed a goOdly
share OF the latter. He seldom jokeds
however. Once on a time when ar
intimate friend Of his was to be mar

bridal party reached the church. but
Whistler was nowhere to be seen: 4
telegram was handed to the groom
when about to proceed TO the altar
which read:
Am detained; do2t wait; can't
reach the church in time-get mar
ricd. Blessings all the same!'
The caustic little artist used to say;
that one Of the smartest things he
ever heard was said by friend, How
ard Paul, who was about to caress q
huge dog, the glare of whose eye
suggested ferocity.
Don't be afraid,'' said Whistler en-
couragingly. Look at his tail-how
it wags. When dog wags his taiF
he's in good humor.'
"That may be-" replied Paul, "but
observe the wild glitter in his eye. I
don't know which end to believe"
And Jimmy repeated this remark all
over town until it got into the papers.
It was Whistler who defined wit

A WORD OF WARNING
To the Editor of The Globe:

10 the Editor of The Globe:
NOW that the Venezuela imbroglio is
virtually settled and that subject has
ceased to be a prolific source of news.
we may confidently look for a, revival
OF misleading and sometimes erroneous
Fllplno news. Already a Roman cor
respondent has cabled that Mgr. Guidi.
the recently appointed papal delegate,
is sick of his job and ready to resign
II under the pretext of i'll health before
ne has fairly begun his Iabors; and
that the pope, who had hoped to find
an able ally in Aguinaldo. has been
disappointed to find a pronounced
apostate. Yesterday a Washington
correspondent revived the old cry, 1.-THE
frlars must co. together with a lot of
ancient history about their unpopu-
Iarlty with the natives, the dissensions
among Catholics, the efforts of
Aglipay to found a new Catholic
church, under the patronage of Gov

civil government, that parish churches

are trying to make trouble not only
for the church, but for the Philippine
government. They are probably doing
an injustice to Gov. Taft at the same
time, when they represent him as
much concerned over the outcome If
so they are only calling attention to
the improperly and grave difficulties
attending the appointment of a Pro-
testant governor for Catholic coun-
try. Apparently he becomes puzzled
and perplexed over matters that a
Catholic would see through at once.
For example, let them try to apply
their theories about the ownership of
church property to Archbishop Ireland,
or any other Catholic archbishop for
that matter, and see how quickly they
will discover their mistake. Has not
The Hague decision in the "Pious
fund just settled that question to the
satisfaction of everyone? Is there
again any Catholic layman or Judge
so ignorant as not to know that an
communicated priest like Aglipay
has no more right to start a new Cath
Ollie church than has Grover Cleveland,
for instance, to start new American
republic because he was not elected a
third time to the presidency.
In this connection it may be we'll to
call attention to the fact that there
has recently been established an In
ternational Catholic Truth society I'M

letters of its Manila correspondent,
published in many of the Catholic
journals in the United States, have
thrown a flood of light on all these
questions and explained many things
that were quite unintelligible to both
Catholics and ProtestantS alike who
had read only one side of the question.
Occasional quotations from these let
tiers in the secular press might prove
highly interesting to all impartial
readers. Whenever there is anything
especially sensational and unintel-
ligible, a telegram to Rev. William F.

will doubtless bring the solution.
