hearted? Would they have succeeded
had they met only shrewd men of
their own sort, having for device:
NO money, no service!"'
Let us be outspoken; it is due to
certain people who do not count too
vigorously that the world goes on.
The most beautiful acts of service and
the hardest tasks have generally little
remuneration or none. Fortunately
there are always men ready for un-
selfish deeds; and even for those paid
only i'm suffering, though they cost
gold, peace. and even life. The part
these men play is often painful and
disco,Uaging. Who of us has not
heard recitals of experiences wherein
the narrator regretted some past kind
ness he had done, some trouble he
had taken, to have nothing but veXa-
ton in return? These condolences
generally end thus: "It was folly to
do the thing!
Sometimes it is right so to Judge;
for it is always a mistake to cast
pearls before swine; but how many
lives there are whose sole acts of real
beauty are these very ones of which
the doers repent because of mans in
gratitude! Our wish for humanity is
that the number of these foolish deeds

St. patrick's in the North,

In the North of Ireland when I was
a child St. Patrick's Day and the
Twelfth of July stood out as two red
letter days in the years history, says
Alix L. AIilligan in Donohoe's Maga-
zne for March. The earliest idea of
politics 1 got was from hearing party
differences argued on these great ami
versaries. Sometimes they We're ar
gued with sticks and stones, but at any
rate there was always music, of
Sort in the air from morning to night.
The first chance one had of deciding
between orange and green was by lis
tening to the bands. Having a toler-
ably musical ear was not long in
throwing in my lot with the party that
went at a quick march to the tune of
"Let Erin Remember and est. Pat
rick's Day." and other martial airs that
[ could not then learn the names of.
The banging Of drums and the flute
footing which was supposed to rep
resent the Protestant Boys" and 'The
Boyne Water" were absolutely unat-
tractive. Then the words of these
and other orange songs that heard
were vulgar, barbarous and bloodthirs-
ty, there was talk Of Sitting and
slaughtering Papists" and rolling them
up in the orange and blue. The drum
heads moreover were splashed with
blood, from the knuckles of the play
ers, but not knowing that one got an
impression that the processionists were
fresh from scene of massacre such as
their songs described.

Wholly of English MAKING

Michael Davitt has told the truth
about the Russo-Japanese struggle. 1t
is almost wholly English making, and
it i'll becomes anyone with Irish blood
in his veins to sympathizc with the
efforts of Japan, says the Chicago New
World. Covertly egged on by official
England, Japan has been forcing the
present war upon Russia for more
than two years. Anyone who will
take trouble carefully to go over the
events leading up to the existing strug-
gle can reach no other conclusion.
The New World does not care to be-
come intensely partisan with regard to
the conflict. 1t is not a Catholic af-
fair; neither can we see that it is the
United States concern; nevertheless
we cannot keep feeling that the SYM
pathy of our people should 90 to that
power which was our friend during
the great Civil struggle, as she was in
1915, as she was during the Venezuela
incident, and as she was during the
Spanisll-American war. Through all
our history as nation Russia has
been true to us, and if now we allow
ourselves to be "led by the nose by the
London dispatches" as Mr.. Davitt
phrases it, we shall regret our crcdul-
ity some time in the future.
Meanwhile, the aforesaid dispatches
are fighting mighty conflict on paper.
1t is dull day that does not see seven
Russian battleships sunk and several
thousand Russians slain or frozen to
death. The press dispatches are pro.
English and are jubilant from London
to Chefoo. If, however, the English
succeed in insulting Germany, as evil
IDENTIFY they are bent on doing, a sud-
den pause may come in their jubila-
ton. 1t is significant that the press
of Ireland is distinctly pro-Russian
and so is that Of Germany. The con-
fiict may yet grow to vaster proper
ttons than now seems probable.

The Mercenary Spirit.

Unquestionably we must bow be-
fore economic facts, and recognize
the difficulties of living; from day to
day it becomes more imperative to
continue well ones forces in order to
succeed in feeding, clothing, housing
and bringing up Il family. He who
does not rightly take account of these
crying necessities, who makes no cal
culation, no provision for the future,
is but a visionary or an incompetent,
and runs the risk of sooner or later
asking aims from those at whose par
simony he has sneered.
And yet what would become of us if
these cares absorbed us entirely? If,
mere accountants, we should wish to
measure our efforts by the mony IT
brings, do nothing that does not end
in receipt, and consider as things
worthless or pains lost whatever can
not be drawn up in figures on the
pages of ledger? Did our mothers
look for pay in loving and caring for
us? What would become of filal pic
ty if we asked it for loving and car
ing for our aged parents?
what does it cost you to speak the
truth? Misundertakings, sometimes,
sufferings and prosecutions. To de-
fend your country? Wearincss,
wounds, and often death. To do
good? Annoyance. ingratitudc, even
resentment. Self-sacrifice enters into
all the essential actions of humanity,
l defy the closest calculators to main
tain their position in the world with
out ever appealing to aught but their
calculations. True, those who know
how to make their "pile" are rated
as men of ability. But look little
closer. How much of it do they owe
to the unselfishness of the simple

CLIMBING TO THE POPE.
His Apartments are 30s Steps Up From
Street Level.


1t is long climb to the Pope's
apartments. Of recent years an ele-
vator was put in for the accommoda-

or three people from what is known as
the Damasco Court. That will save
you 21S steps if you have sufficient
rank and influence to secure the favor.
But ordinary people have to drag
their heavy feet up 3Os marble steps.
This, however, is not so great an Or
deal for the Italians as it is for us,
because almost everybody in the an
cient part Of Rome live on the top
floors of lofty palaces which have no
elevators.

buildings must be occupied by some
body, but I have never been FORUM
ate enough to know anyone who lived
short of the fourth floor.

SO, where the climb actually begins,
and beyond that six flights of noble

ordeal for fat men who are broken to

the day, reached the nrtle office wherein
lay her husband, almost as soon as did
occupants OF other offices in tho large

pavement, the office being on the first
floor and next to the street, and from
that point had fired the fatal bullet
through the window. 1t went straight to

Two arrests have been made, but the
