history or future prospects of the country, nor in
unison with the spirit of federation which peculiar
y distinguishes the American system of popular
government,
Under such circumstances Roman Catholics nat
uraly gave their support to the Democratic party.
The Know Nothing movement died out after 1856
and left no sign, but for the most part Roman
Catholics remained with their Democratic cham
pions and even after the Civil war had brought
about new political alignment it is probable that
the great majority still chung to that political al
legiance
Bishop McFaul referred to another matter of
serious Importance when he said that IF all the
descendants of our Catholic forcfathers had
NAMED true to their faith there would be more than
40,0000O0 Catholics i'll the United States today,
instead of 100000"
This is higher estimate of our present Roman
Catholic population than is warranted by official
statistics. but it may not be excessive. However
that may be, the immigration from Roman CathO-
lie countries alone since the foundation of the re-
pubic must have been as many and very much
more if their children born in this country in

and their descendants must have fallen away from

had all remained loyal our present Catholic popu-
lation would be 100000 is moderate.

ToMMY,s DREAM.

Tommy had curious dream one night. He had
been kept in from play to help his father; but in
stead of being proud TO think that his father want
ed his help, he was cross about losing his pay-so
cross that his father quietly remarked he would not
ask him to stay in again.
When he lay down to sleep that night he
dreamed that two angels were sent down to earth
to make record of all the NICE loving things the
boys and girls were doing. One angel was to take
note of all the big things that done, and the
other was to write down all the little unnoticed
deeds of life They parted they reached the
earth, and when they met again. on their way back
to heaven, they compared notes. One had scarcely
filed two pages of his book.
''There are not many conspicuous things done,
after ALL" be said, in explanation.

that l have SEEM said the other angel; and he

THE BOYS WE NEFn

THE BOYS WE NEED.
Here's to the boy who is not afraid
To do his share of work;
Who never is by toll dlsmayed,
And never tries to shirk.
The boy whose heart is brave to meet
All lions in the way;
Who's not discouraged by defeat,
But tries another day.
The boy who always means to do
The very best he can;
Who always keeps the right in view,
And aims to be man.
Such boys as those will grow to be
The men whose hands will guide
The future of our land and we
Shall speak their names with pride.
All honor to the boy who is
A man at heart, l say:
Whose legend on his shield is this:
Right always wins the day"

A WONDERFUL CLOCK.
Made with . Scroll Saw, II a III mer and
JaCkknife.

Made with . Scroll Saw, HI IN mer and
Jackknife.
With scroll saw. plane. hammer
and a common pocket knife, one
armed cripple has made the most re-
markable clock in the world. The
maker is Marvin Shearer. of Akron,
Ohio. He is scenic artist. but his
hobby is mechanics. His pet project
for the last ID years has been to make
a surprisingly wonderful timepiece,
but it was not until disabled that he
found the time. The clock is II feet
four Inches high, more than four feet
wide, and almost three feet deep. Ii
contains 4.l61 pieces of wood of 81
different kinds. There are 1872 pictures
Nj or on the clock. all of which Mr.
Shearer painted. The motive power
consists of a water pump having a ca
pacity of 200 gallons per hour. one
half horsepower electric motor and
several other electric appliances.
The clock weighs $50 pounds and Is
constructed in three sections. On tho
face of the top section are nine dials
seven of which give the time in three
foreign cities and four American cities
one the local standard time. the other
the calendar dial. indicating all the
changes of the moon. the month. day
and date. The weather signals are
translated by signal flags on revolv-
ing staff directly in front of the calen-
dar dial. Thermometers, barOmeterS
and hydrometers. each tells its tale.
and around the dals pieces of wood
from each State, territory and foreign
possession in the Union are arranged,
decorated with the coat of arms Of
each.
On either side of the clock dial can
be seen every man-of-war in the Unit
ed States Navy. arranged according to
their class and speed, followed by the
different squadrons in their official or
der. Underneath the navy il shown
q passion history of Christ All these
pictures have their stated times of APP
pearing. passing from view behind Il
screen.
The middle section is by far the
most beautiful. In the extreme top is
located miniature Niagara Falls, over
which 1870 gallons of water fall every
hour Both the American and Horse
shoe falls are shown. with Goat Island
in the foreground. and the sparkling
water Is illuminated by colored and
changing electric lights, making most
effective water display.
At each hour. as the clock strikes,

the NOrtherners.
There Is very little indication of
American colonization in eastern Cuba,
according to the London Times. In
Santiago, with its 10000 inha bitants
and memories and relics of the war,
there are very few Americans; it does
not possess a single American or En-
glish hotel and the greatest anxiety of
the American visitor is to get out of it
as soon as possible. The immigrants
are mostly Spanards, class wnich

1t Is otherwise with the relations Of
the Cubans and Americans. The edu-
Gated Cubans are. as Il rule. friendly
to the United States: many regard pO-
litical absorption into the union as not
only inevitable but desirable from
personal and pecuniary point of view.
But the mass of the people dislike the
Americans, while they fear the Ameri

The Cubans have had nothing to do
but to work the machinery thus es-
tablished. The tendency here. as in
other Latin American countries. is to
discuss public affairs and draw out
rules and forms rather than to put the
principles into practice. A case in
point is that of the Santiago water
works. The Americans paved the
streets of that city with asphalt and
installed a modern sewerage system.
The water supply. although augment
ed by the American engineers, was in
sufficient for flushing purposes and the
task of completing the works and pro-
viding the additional water service
was handed over to the Cuban authori.
ties. Since then nothing has been done
beyond considering plans: but pressure
has at last been brought TO bear on the
Cubans by the American government
and the outlook is more hopeful Mean
while, the water of Santiago is noto-

is deteriOrating. 1t is noticeable also
