Mr.. Frith's Portrait of Dickens.

Forster asked rle to paint Il portrait of
Dickens for him. ! gladly consented
and was about to propose Il day for the
first sitting when Forster stopped me
by mentioning what he called a most
unfortunate propensity which Dickens
had deyeloped-le was actually grow
ing a h..1stache. It's just a fancy of
the moment" said Forster. and we
must wait till the craze has passed
away a very few months convinced
us that the mustache. so far from pass
ing away. was rapidly growing into
what threatened to be formidable
beard. so. unless one-half of the face
was to be lost to us. no more time
should be lost. My idea was to paint
him in his working clothes, but when

Audubon and His Hair.

Audubon, the great naturalist, early
in his career wore his hair very long.
He wrote in his diary one day: Il
wear my hair as long as usual. l be-
lieve it does as much for me as my
paintings" However, in 1927 his
friends succeeded in persuading him
to get his hair cut according to the pre-
vailing fashion. On March 10 of that
year he wrote in his diary: This day
my hair sacrificed and the will of God
usurped by the wishes of man. AS the
barber clipped my locks rapidly it re-
minded me of the horrible times of
the French revolution when the same
operation was performed upon all the
victims murdered by the guillotine. My
heart sank low" Further to express
his grief the margin Of the page on
which this entry was made he painted

Young Men at St.
Mary's Mission of
the Evils of
Saloons.
DRUEKARD's DOWNWARD PATH
Stories Illustrating the Misery
Caused by Rum-Cards
of Promise.

'The saloon is the drunkard's church,
the bar the altar, the, bartender the
priest, the drink the sacrament, his belly
his God" said Father Kennedy during
the course of his sermon on the subject
of intemperance at the single mems mis-
sion at st. Mary's r. G. Church last
night. The church was crowded again
with young men, who were deeply i'm
pressed by the sermon.
Father Kennedy began his sermon with
the drunkard He said he had seen the
homes of once well-to-do men through
drink razed to the ground; strong men
made weak, and innocent and defenceless
women and children made to suffer
through the influence of drink on their
fathers or brothers. Hs said that many
a time in the confessional he had heard
heart-rending stories poured out by
mothers and daughters of misery endur-
ed by them through the drunkenness of
their fathers or brothers.
As one of Gods ministers, he said, he
supposed it. was not right for him to be-
lieve in hatred, but stories of brutality
told in the confessional had led him to
wonder how he could do otherwise than
hate and despise their perpetrators.
.would that / could get some of these
mothers aad sisters to stand at this altar
and repeat some of the stories, you con-
stituting juries, the altar the bar of
justice, with God passing Judgment on
what will SAP as one of Gods ministers
against the curse of drink"
Father Kennedy told story of a visit
he made to Roosevelt hospital to admin
lister extreme JUNCTION to a dying man
who had delirium tremens. He found
the aan in room with walls padded,
and strapped to cot but even then he
had to be held by several attendants.
He looked at the man and the man
leoked at him and then he was seized
with spasm after spasm and died with
curse in his lips before the last rites of
the church could be administered.

this promise l can encourage others, who
may need it, to do the same.
BIS Reason.-I have noticed that those
who make and keep such promises are

longer life, and pleasanter homes than
habitual drinkers.
C's Reason.-I cannot afford to be con-
stantly drinking I have family to

DIS Reason.-I must do some penance
for my sins; such self-denial is pleasing
to God and meriterious for me-
