English Speaking POntifcal Secretary

The Rome correspondent Of the Lon
don Tablet declares that mo better
proof Of the wisdom of the Holy Fa-
theirs choice in appointing Mgr. Merry
del VAL secretary of state, can be found
than the way the selection has been
discussed by the anti-Catholic press
of the continent" The most damaging
criticism which they have thus far
vouchsafed centers in two facts; first,
he is only SO years old; secondly, he is
no Italian. The Avanti declares that
the choice has been forced on the pom
tiff by the Jesuits." The Paris Journal
describes the new secretary as a
sphinx. Many of the Italian papers
were repeating, from day to day, that
the sacred college of cardinals were in
dignantly averse to the appointment of
Mgr Merry del Val. The heart was
cut out of this statement by the pontiff
himself who declared, in his letter of
appointment, that all the cardinals
who had been consulted by him had
agreed that the pro-secretary would
made an ideal secretary" The feeling
at Madrid is that of great satisfaction.
The correspondent of the London
Standard has this to say about the new
secretary: He is we'll known here, and
was a great favorite when he was tutor
to the young king. 1t is generally ex-
pected that the new pontifical secre-
tary of state will show Alphonso XIII
the same favor as Leo XIII and Car
dinal Rampolla did, and will assist his
government in dealing with the clergy
and the religious orders and in check
ing Carlist agitations. The cardinals
brother is one of the private secretaries
of the king and helped to teach him
English, which the cardinal and his
brother sister ard parents. all speak
fluently." The English speaking world,
as well as the Madrid politicians and
the Roman cardinals, is more than
pleased that the new cardinal should
have been made secretary of state An
English-speaking pontifical secretary is,
we believe, departure.-Catholic

OF late England has been in so con-

the Catholic hierarchy is reported to

to concede much to the victorious

Catholic Knights Win Their Suit.

Catholic Knights Win Their Suit.
By decision of the supreme court at
Madison, Wis, recently, the Catholic
knights of Wisconsin win a suit
brought by Emma S. Barry to secure
the payment of a death benefit of $4,000
carried by her husband. The constitu-
ton and bylaws of the order provide
that if a member shall cease to be "a
practical Catholic he shall be expelled
from membership and deprived of all
benefits of the order. James H. Barry,
the deceased husband of the plaintiff,
resided in Madison when he joined the
order. Learning of his marriage by
Protestant minister the Madison branch
voted in 1898 to expel Barry, but did
rot formally notify him. He died in
1898, and his widow applied for the
death benefit of $1,000. The lower court
held that Barry was not a practical
Catholic at the time of his death, be-
cause he had been married by a Prot
estant minister and therefore the wild
ow was not entitled to the benefit. The
supreme court affirms the judgment.

RESOLUTIONS.
III We Keep All These We May Hops
for the Coming of the
HtIIenntulu.

Fellow-Cittzens: Upon this, the birth
CT new year, let us resolve:
Never again to ask our wife what she
did with all that five dollars" we gave
her three months before;
To own up, without equivocation, that
we were asleep in church;
Not to attempt to eat the things that
we know DO not agree with us;
To stop reading paper that we do OF
like, instead of forever grumbling over
it;
Not to complain about our neighbor's
chickens, when our own dog runs loose;
To respect our wife's opinion when it
is contrary to ours;
To refrain from demanding, What is
the matter with the dinner?" when, if
we looked at the clock, we would see that
it is not yet time for it,;
Not to deride ping-pong-aad then
adopt it;
Not to tell the president what he ought
to do;
To admit that other persons motives
are as good as ours;
Then to die right away quick. ere our
halo becomes tarnished.-Edwin L. Sa-
bin, in Puck.

but she can easily find out-in fact. she
knows, anyhow-the kind of cigars her
husband smokes. and she gets the same
brand. Yet every Christmas there's

The fugitive years follow each other
on their appointed rounds Tosome they
come in too rapid succession-life and
time are evanescent In the thoughts and
experience of others they drag tediously
along and seem as if the end was infinite

In youth the years are too long. In
age they are too short. At the beginning
Of the journey of life it seems as if it
never would come to an end Toward
Its close it seems as if the end would be
reached far in advance of its established
period.
! But in reality time does not fly more
rapidly for the old than it does for the
your. Youth sees the end in the far
. distant We. Age sees it within
narrow vision. That is the sole
difference OF view in which the lapse of
time is contemplated.
These are obvious thoughts as we pass
the milestones of life. Each monument
measuring the distance which we have
Travelled is also a monitor with it's lessons

ACCEPTABLE GIFTS.
Make Christmas Purchases with .
Desire to Please Those for Whom
They Are Intended.

Nothing pleases people more than to
feel that their special wants are recog-
nized and have been remembered, and
whether we spend ten cents or ten dol
lars, provided it be spent to please the
other person, it will be most graciously
received. If gifts be the result of our
own handiwork, they can just as easily
be welcome ones. There are so many ac-
ceptable articles which we can make
that there need be no mistakes. Such
gifts, however, should be prepared at
ones leisure and not rushed through
carelessly at the last moment. No wom-
an is the better for physical OVERRIDING,
and especially at Christmas time should
we feel ready for the pleasures of holi-
day time, rather than worn-out in pre-
pairing it. We save of our money often.
