AS oft OH her mountains fondlv did

From my ears her sweet music if never

AS my thoughts oft revert on NV

But alas! to our sorrow we're forced

But death it is welcome before we'd

AS it's gladly we'd fight for our
freedom once more.
All! England, cruel England, YOU
taught us to hate you,
LOU have stolen our language which

For in battle you know we did ALWAYS
defeat you,
And our sweet native language is
spoken once more.
But it's time some change should have
set you a-thinking,
For your country no longer it seems

For in degraded corruption it vastly is
sinking,
Mediate on the trick YOU were

For remember the green flag will flo,t

With freedom enshrined round her

Where is the worklngman On sunday2

A writer in a Western exchange
makes satisfactory answer to num-
Der of parsons out that way. The
ministers, it appears, have organized
i'll order to investigate and find where
and how the workingmen of that city
spend their Sundays. They never see
him at their churches and fear he ia
becoming downright pagan.
Just here the writer to whom we
refer deposes and says: "Now, this
would be laughable if it were not al
most pathetic to see earnest, honest
men for we wish to believe they are
all that so worried. AS matter of
fact, the workingman does go to
church and so does his wife and chill
uren. If they would like to prove the
truth of my words let them come up
to the Jcsuit's church, or st. Bridget's.
or i'll fact any of our Catholic churches
any Sunday morning, rain or shine,
hot OF cold, between six in the morning
until noon, and they will never again
say the worlingman does not 90 to
church. In hundreds l have
seen the people lnecling clear out to
tile sidewalk
Such sights can be witnessed at any
large Catholic church in the union. At
the old Cathedral at Pittsburg, once,
the present writer saw scores of peo-
pie kneeling on the hard stone flags
leading up to the church door. Heads
uncovered, they knelt there full hour
in the blazing sunlight. At the Jesuit
church in New Orleans hundreds of
people kneel on the pavement outside,
particularly on such days as Easter
and Palm Sunday. At St. Stanislaus'
church POLISH, Chicago, people are
often seen kneeling clear out to the
pavement. Thirty thousand persons
hear mass there each Sunday, 29,5OO
of whom are workingmen or their
wives and children.
A majority of the workingmen in
America do go to church for the rea-
son that the majority is Catholic. The
non-Catholic workingman, as rule,
attends some lodge, or club, or perhaps
a socialist Sunday school. The preach
ers have lost him and they ought to get
him back. 1t would look better than
sending missionaries to Mexico to con.
vert people who are better Christians
than the preachers sent out.

In the End.

In the End.
The road is rough, and the day is cold,
And the landscapes sour and bare,
And the milestones, once such charm
ing friends,
Half-hearted welcomes wear
There's trouble before and trouble be-
hind,
And troublesome present to mend,
And the road goes up, and the road
goes down,
But it all comes right in the end.
The heart is sick and the heart is sore,
For heart to call it's own;
And we scrambled hard for the pre.
cious crumbs,
Amongst the heaps of stone,
For loves love, and a mans man,
Our COLDS gold would we spend;
And the heart goes up and the heart
goes down,
But it all comes right in the end.
Tile road goes up and the road goes
down
To desolate depth below,
And there's never a shred of the mean
est robe
On the naked ones to 20,
There's heaven above, and a God of
loye,
And a father who will fend-
And life goes up and life goes down.
But it all comes right in the end.

mystery which has surrounded the
sudden disappearance Of the Lake sub
marine torpedo boat Protector is at
last cleared. The Protector Is now the
property Of the japanese government

AS soon as she arrives she win be put
in fighting trim and in charge Of two

clements the Lake company has been
exceedingly careful about disclosing
any of the plans Of the Protector Al
though the deal by which Japan be
came the owner Of the submarine was
consummated between two and three
months ago, everything was done to
throw off suspicion.
on June the Protector left this har
Dor under her own power, but because
of tile fact that her storage batteries
had been taken out and she was as q
consequence able to run only on the
surface and not to be submerged at ALI
no one gave d serious thought 20 her
contemplated long trip to Japan. The
Protector uses gasoline for her motive
power when running on the surface,
but when submerged electricity Is en-
pIoyed. The boat ran 70 New York,
where she was taken aboard the For
tuna. Norwegian steamship
When this fact became known, the
question Of what had become Of the
Protectors storage batteries arose.
Then it became apparent why the stor-
age batteries had been taken out They
are heavy, weighing nearly 10000
pounds. In order to make the load Of
the Fortuna lighter these batteries
were shipped on ahead to Japan about
month and a half ago. When the
submarine arrives at her destination.
these batteries Will be replaced, and
she will be ready for war
Wilson ana Evans. who have accom-
panied the Protector on her long trip,
assisted in building the boat and are
acquainted with every nut and bolt IN
her structure. They are daring men,
and in their efforts to demonstrate the
capabilities of the submarine as a fight
ing machine they will be willing TO
take great chances.
While no one connected with the
Lake company viii say what Japan
paid for the Protector, it Is understood
that the price was between S225, 00o
and $4,000.

HER RICHNESS

EOriginaLI
Some forty years ago an American
who had made a fortune in organizing
wrecked railroads appeared at Baden
Baden, Germany. Baden Baden at
that time was what Monte Carlo is
now, the gambling resort for All Eu-
rope. The American, Benedict Wuf-
fies, was in fact a smart fellow. He
had unlimited means, with which he
set to work to break the bank at
Baden Baden, and 1t was not long be-
fore he found the secret Of how 70 do
SO. His play soon attracted universal
attention, and. his operations were
watched intently by every one present
TIL he had accomplished his object.
Then Mr.. WutIles suddenly sank into a
condition Of ennui, awaiting some 9TH
er point OF attack for his tremendous
brain.
One morning he was sitting on a
bench in the grounds whore the casino
stood, when lady with her maid
came and sat on a neighboring bench.
The women spoke in the French Ian
guage, and Afr. Wutfles did not under
stand what they said, but there was
one word he had learned while gaping
at royalty IN Paris, the prefix "high-
ness, or saltesse," In French Wufties
noticed that the lady's maid constantly
addressed Der as "altesseg The first
time she did SO Wufies pricked UP his
ears. The second time lie moved rest.
lessly Id his seat, and after TINT he got
up and walked before the lady IN or
der to observe her face, He saw q
very beautiful woman. Then he SAT
down again. Presently her highness
arose and moved away, leaving her
handkerchief on the bench. Wutles
seized it and followed her appearing
suddenly at her side holding his hat
In one hand and in the other the hand

"oh. monsieur" exclaimed the lady
and followed up the exclamation By
rattling of a lot Of French.

she permitted him to call on her. she
did not forget tie difference in their
rank. An attendant Of some sort was
always present at their meetings.
Her highness desired to know Wuf-
fles' method of breaking the bank. and
he tried to explain it to her. but she
couldn't understand it, and, to tell the
truth, the success was largely due to
his unlimited means, which be knew
By instinct how to handle.

The princess smiled kindly and In
token OF her forgiveness offered him
her own unfinished glass Of wine.
WufIies drank It or in an ecstasy.
The next thing Wuffies knew It was

was standing over him with a paper in
his hand. 1t proved to be an unpaid
