The "LimerIck.n

1t may be surprise to some to
learn that the Limerick is this year
celebrating it's fifty-eighth birthday,
having made it's debut in Literature in
1916.
The uninitiated will be further sur
prised to learn that the first extensive
user Of this fantastic, not to say flip
pant, form was a learned ornithologist,
the author of a most serious and
scientific work upon .'"The Family Of
the Psittacidae." But the elect will
smile, remembering that the author of
'"The Jabberwock" and '"The Hunting
of the Shark" wrote also "a Syllabus
of Algebraical Geometry" and "a
Treatise on Determinants."
Edward Lear, however, though his
"Book on Nonsense Verse; contains
the first published Limericks, lays no
claim to the invention Of the form,
which he says was suggested to him
by an unnamed friend. During his life
he produced no less than two hundred
and twelve stanzas in this form, and
among them are numbered such gems
as:
There once was man with beard,
Who said: 1T is just as feared
Two owls and hen,
-Four larks and q wren,
Have all made their nests in my beard.

AREDLETT:ER DAY

Dedicated Nov. 80.
t.gH
Bishop Stanley and Many.Visit
ing Priests in Attendance.

Wednesday, November 30, will al
ways be remembered as red letter
day in the calendar Of the Catholic
church of Mandan, North Dakota, as
on that day the dedication of the finest
and most beautiful Catholic church
building in the whole state was SOL
emily dedicated by Bishop Stanley, of
Fargo, aided by Abbot Vincent, Of
Richardton, and Father Cleary, Of
Minneapolis, and twenty of the most
prominent clergymen of the state, says
the Mandan Pioneer of December 2.
The day was most beautiful one
and opened and continued all day as
if specially ordered for the occasion,
and this made it all the more enjoy
able for the great number present. At
nine o'clock a special train came over
from Bismarck loaded with people
from that city and surrounding towns
and crowds from the country around
Mandan also filled our streets. The
stores closed at ten o'clock and the
schools were closed for the whole day
so as to give all chance to attend
the dedication. At 9:3O, when the
first bell sounded from the church, a
large number were anxiously waiting
ut the church entrance so as to pro-
cure desirable seats,
Promptly at 10 o'clock the clergy
vested in the old church building and
proceeded in solemn procession along
the street to the front door Of the new
church. The prayers and chants were
then commenced and procession
made around the exterior of the build.
ing by the clergy and people, and in
the meantime the bishop sprinkline
the walls Of the building with holy
water and the clergy chanting the
necessary psalms in imitation of the
blessing of the temple of Solomon b.
the Jews. Everybody ought to know
that the temple of Solomon was the
first tempel erected for the true wor
ship Of the living God.
Returning to the front door again
the clergy proceeded up the middl,
aisle and Father Collins gave the sig
nal to the ushers to open the tire,
doors and admit the people. The lit
any and prayers being finished at til,
high altar, another procession wa
made by the clergy around the in
terror of the building and the las
prayers recited by the bishop on hi
return to the high altar. The cele
brant of the mass, Father Lemieux
of Fargo, assisted by Father Clement
Of Bismarck, as deacon, and Fathe
Dignam, Of Dickinson, as sub-deacop
commenced the solemn mass of dedi
cation, at which time an eHicien
choir of twenty persons, under tn
leadership Of Mrs. Wheeler, commend
ed the singing of a specially we'll pre-
pared program Of music. After til
chanting of the first gospel, Fathe
Cleary advanced to the communion raj
and delivered most elaborate and elc

Use OF Latin.


Why does the church use the Latin
language? For these reasons:
1. Because universal community
requires universal language. The
Church Of Christ is universal.
2. Because it does not change. If,
for example, the church should use
French in one of her formulas alone,
that Of baptism, she would have been
obliged to change it over 60 times. In
the so-called Anglo-Saxon Of 1000
years ago she could not be understood
except by experts.
3. Because nothing can equal the
dignity Of the Latin language, its
clearness or its beauty. It is the Ian
guage Of science and civilization, and
deserves to be the language Of an un-
changeable religion.
4. Because it lifts the liturgy of the
church above the everyday usage of
words, which alters their sense and de-
bases it by RIGHTEOUSNESS. This mis-
fortune has actually befallen the Eng
fish liturgy Of the Anglo-American
Episcopalians.
3. Finally, universal language
speaks of universal brotherhood, and
makes Catholic at home in all Cath
Ole churches Of the world. Besides,

church or from his prayer book, which

MICHAEL RENR1E.
The Nan Who Poretold the Galveston
Flood Is Bead.


Flood Is Bead.
There died at Dallas, Tex, an odd
character whose life had been spent
in many parts of the globe, and whose
peculiar distinction it was to have
foretold the Galveston food, says the
st. Mary's Sentinel. His name was
Michael Rennie, and he was known
throughout the country as the ''old
telescope man." He died suddenly at
the workingmen's hotel, conducted by
the Salvation Army. Upon the win
dow sill near his bed was found an
open Bible and a we'll worn hymn
book. On the fyleaf Of the Bible was
written: "Give this book to Father
Kirwin. Michael Rennie, Galveston"
Inside the fyleaf was written:
eff anything should happen to me,
sudden death, this is my will. You
will find enough money in the boss of
my telescope to pay my expenses,
and mass for my soul, the remainder
to be given to Father Kirwin for the
use of the little orphan school, the
telescope and one microscope. One
microscope for Father Kirwin him
self, a present from me.
"Michael Rennie."
Rennie was born in Scotland more
than three score years ago. He re-
ceived some ducation and soon drift
ed out as sailor before the mast to
the ends of the earth.
For more than twenty years he fol-
lowed the rough ways Of the sea. In
the early SOS he arrived at Galveston
in jute ship, and left the sea for the
interior of Texas. He settled at Dali
las and became the moving spirit Of
the Liberal club, an agnostic organiza-
ton.
He soon tired of life away from the
sea, and eventually landed in Austria
liza during the period of the Melbourne
exposition. One day by chance he
wandered into the Catholic cathedral
at the moment of the elevation of the
Host, and afterward declared that he
saw in the priests hands the Infant
Child.
He returned the following day and
witnessed the same sight. Immediate.

ton in the Catholic faith

great flood, Father Kirwin vouches fol

Why Women Are Lopsided.

Ninety-nine out of every 100 women
in Chicago are lopsided.
But cheer up, girls, the same or worse
is true all over the world, says the Tri-
bune of that city.
There are only three sources from
which you can get an honest statement
of fact on this important point; these
origins of frank, and maybe helpful. ut
terance are the doctor, the dressmaker
and the newspaper.
What made you lopsided?
A New York doctor says that hanging
t, street car straps day after day. if
for but twenty minutes, will produce
curvature of the spine, hump shoulders
and static distortion" Do you average
125 minutes a week of strap hanging?
II so, you may be sure you are in bad
shape" or you will become permanently
deformed.
Dr. Nina z. Gould of Chicago says
that many school children develop
spinal curvature by the habit of sitting

children to raise themselves by slip
ping one foot under them. A twisted
spine results and q majority of Chicago
school children, especially girls, have

Frank Hayden, conductor of the Har-
lem street surface cars, says most wo-
men are one-handed. Il have noticed
that women all grab the strap with
their left hands and seldom change, no
matter how far they have to ride stand
iEg," said Hayden. MY wife says a
woman likes to have her right hand
free because her pocket is generally on
that side and because she usually has
pocketbook or parcel to take care
of. If women get crippled from hang
ing on to street car straps I'll bet
they're crippled in the left shoulder.
Just watch them for yourself. Nine
women out of ten will swing to the roof
by the left hand
Ernestine Morse, who has been selling
ready-made suits in State street
store for ten years, says that nearly
every woman in Chicago is lopsided.
There is a physical culturist in Chi
cago who contends that clinging to
street car straps has a tendency to in
crease the stature of its victims. He
says that the proper attitude in strap
hanging is to get a strap in each hand,
and if possible try the giant swing for
athletic exercise. This will elongate
the body and may add an inch or two
to the stature if persisted in. But all
authorities agree that one-handed
strap swinging is deformatory and may
produce structural difficulties.
1t is estimated that 5000 women hang
to street car straps by one hand for
two hours apiece every week.
