An anecdote Of Gen. Sheridan shows
the man in his true colors better than
volume Of biography. Sheridan gave
his orders in a mild tone OF voice. but
his enuneiation was SO distinct that
he was never misunderstood. Once, in
the midst Of a fight, an aide reported
that his flank was being demoralized
by battery on a distant hill Give
my compliments to Gen. Crook he
said, and ask him to clear it away"
His famous dispatch to Gen. Grant on
the day before the surrender at Apo
mattox was written on horseback, in
these terse words: If things are
pressed I think Lee will surrender to-
morrow" And Grants answer, still
more terse, came back: Press things.
Such is the language of such soldiers.

In view Of the growing Importance
of both Honolulu and Guam it is quite
probable that the navy department will
increase the number Of officers on duty
at both these stations in the near fu-
ture. Honolulu is rapidly assuming
the position Of a great port Of cali for
much Of the commerce OF the Pacific.

A Criminal Tree.

Criminal Tree.
We hear many stories OF many trees
but they are not often endowed with
human characteristics: but you must
take Uncle Abner's word for it. He
was sitting on his porch telling it to
the young man from the city, who had
leaned his bicycle against the gate. and
was resting on Uncle Abner's step.
You see that there tree by the snow
ball bush, do you? The one out there
beyond the pump that looks sort O. sick
and guilty like? You notice some of
the limbs drag down a little, as If it
wasn't very we'll Don't you take any
stock in it. That tree is just pretend
in It's laying low and thinking OF
some dishonesty It's the sharpest
tree in the yard. and as l said to
Abigail. there ain't an honest leaf on
its top.
You know what a dry season it was
last summer? Well. the grass in the
yard dried up, the trees begun to shed
their leaves in June, and in August
they looked Just as il they had stepped
out of a brush heap, as | remarked to
Abigail All 'cept that there maple
tree I'm talking bout. 1t never with
cred. nary leaf dropped off. The
hotter and drier 1t got the greener and
perter got that tree. While the other
trees were dropping and hanging their
heads that tree just stood up there as
clipper as you please, and waved its
limbs and rustled its green leaves in
the hot wind as if it was the middle
Of May.
Says to Abigail. I wouldn't take
a plumb thousand for that tree.
Il was proud of that tree, and called
in all the neighbors to see it. and
Dragged bout it all summer. and got
the editor OF Grit to speak about the
strange phenomenon at my place
But all the time l was harboring a
vegetable viper in the bosom of my
yard-as the schoolmaster remarked.
The summer went on and that tree
never withered. and its leaves didn't
drop off until snow few Along in De-
cember the pump gave out, and l sent

he's best on watches and grindstones |

it needed new valves. and he went to |
the tannery and got some leather. and |
he fixed it and charged me six shill- /

snooped around a minute. and says he:

permitted during mass, vespers and
benediction.
The proper vespers of the day, or
of tho feast, should be sung. Until
the choir Is able to do this the vespers
of any feast may be selected, hut must
be sung in their entirety. In the
latter case, if the benediction Of the
BILE ssed sacrament follows Immediate
Iy after vespers, the vespers of the
blessed sacrament are recommended.
From the beginning of the "Tan-
tum Ergo" etc until the benedic-
ton with the blessed sacrament has
been given no other musical compost
tion should be sung. After benedio-
tion the Landate, etc., or any other

In order that choirs com petent to

the board has mated the following re.
Communications, which the bishop en-
joins upon he reverend records:
Ia every parish n Gregorian chant
@ ass composed of men and boys,
should BIZ formed Immediately.
The boys of parochial school should
be taught Greaorian chant; where
there is no paroohial school the re.
verend rectors should secure a teacher

Bishop McFaul has issued a letter
tn oil the rectors and superiors of in
situations in the diocese containing
the regulations and informing them
to reduce the rules to practice with
out delay. In the letter the bishop
says:
"The holy father desires that
Catholics only should be members Of
our church choirs and he adds that
they should be men of known piety
and proDity Of life, and should, by
their modest and devout bearing dur
ing the l%iturgical functions, show
that they are worthy. of the holy office
they exercise.
although it is desirable that each
choir Immediately conform with the
Monu Proprio doubtless 1t will be
impossible in some instances. Hence,
