KINDLY REMEMBERED.
How Mrs. Ayde's Missionary Work Was
Appreciated

Rosetown, Ramsey County, Mimi,
April 2O.-A great number of Catholics
live at such distance from the city
that it is inconvenient and sometimes
impossible for them to send their chill
dren to Catholic schools to receive re-
ligious instruction. The teaching Of
the catechism Of the Christian doctrine
in the homes is in many cases very
limited, either because the parents are
| incapable to do better, OF it is mere
negligence on their part. Can we do
nothing for these children? The fol-
lowing will answer fully this question
and it may serve as an example to
some Of our readers.
Mrs. l.. Ayde, a strict Catholic, liv-
ing about five miles from this city, has
gathered the children Of her community
i'll her home, and if you could be there
at l O'Clock on Sunday afternoon you
would meet the happy faces of the
children, who are glad to think Of the
opportunity they have to be instructed
in the way Of truth, to become sons
and daughters of the Holy Catholic
Church. This class first met on the
first of November, 1908, when II chill
dren received their first religious les
son; but their number has been in
creased to 50 on Easter Sunday, 1904.
Their ages are from five to eighteen
years and some of them walk q dis
lance Of four miles to attend. AS these
children are Of dinerent ages, it was
necessary to divide them into three
classes namely, the advanced, the
middle and the lower The recitations
are conducted respectively by Mrs.
Ayde, Miss Gertrude Ayde, niece,
and Miss Sadie Ayde, daughter.
Ine object of their teaching is to pre-
pare the children to receive their first
holy communion. About twelve of the
children are prepared to receive this
summer. But pleasant surprise was
in store for the teachers which not
only encouraged them but showed
them how their work was appreciated.
"A number of the parents and friends
visited the Sunday school on Easter
Sunday and after the lessons were
over the teachers were requested to be
seated in line while Leonard Kowal-
skey, 12-year-old boy of the adj
vanced class, delivered the following
token of appreciation in favor of his
teacher:
'Dearest of All Teachers on Earth:
1t gives me great pleasure indeed,
and feel most proud Of having been
chosen by my classmates to repre-
sent them in presenting this token Of
love and gratitude. 1t is not a recon-
pense, however. No; we feel that it is
far beyond our power to repay even in
part the untiring care you have mani

The Long Road Over the Hill.

Copse, and meadow, and whipping
stream;
And voices, calling to f1ocks that
stray;
And the lettering herd; and the plod-
ding team;
And the hamlet, fair in the dying
day;
Blossoming orchards, branching wide;
A rose-gray tower; a dusky mill,
Murmuring low, by the weter-side-
And the long road over the hill!
o my soul, wilt thou farther fare?
Here is plenty, and here is peace.
Surely blessed, beyond compare,
Are these, secure in their Tranquil
lease,
Who take, with thanks what the gods
bestow-
Flower and fruit, of the fields they
And tarry, content, while the travellers
60
BY the long road over the hill.
Never the call to strife they hear
Never the din Of the moiling throng;
But blitheful greeting, and sounds Of
cheer
Praise at matin, and even-song;
These, and the mill-wheers drowsy
hum,
Pipe of bird, and babble of rill,
And the tinkle of bells, when the slow
kline come
To the hamlet under the hill.
And thus, for aye, would 1 have them
bide-
Wholly happy, and simply wise;
Never to dream of a boon denied,
Far adventure, or vain emprise.
Never a foot from the fold should
stray!
But I would be the traveller, still,
Who looks, and envies-and goes his
way
The. long road over the hill.

the man. who is about forty years Of age,

"Vagrancy.' Clerk Harper answered.
Tell him what he is charged with,
the prosecuting attorney instructed Balm
kendi&.
How can | tell him. that officer said,
when he is unable to hear?"
Perhaps Sergt. Lombardy or Policeman
Flynn could make him understand, an
attorney suggested to Mr.. Pugh.
II can write it on paper" Bailin kendlg
said. at the same time performing that
duty.
He denies the charge" the bailif re-
ported, after Morgan had read the charge
II was in furniture store on 7th street

I'm pass this case for few minutes, and
in the meantime you visit the mission and

PLUG PULLED OUT.
Launch Mercedes Narrowly Escapes
Sinking. at Harbor Office Wharf.

The launch Mercedes of the United States
army quartermaster' department had a
narrow escape from sinking in her berth
at the harbor office wharf this morning
When the little craft was laid up for the
winter pine plugs were driven into the
openings in her sides where the pipes from
her pumps went overheard and the pipes
were disconnected. While she was working
with the tides in the ice this morning she
pulled out one Of the plugs. and through
the opening the water poured into her hull.
Fortunately, Capt. James Carpenter. who
has the launch in charge, made an inspec-
ton of the boat about that time. He found
her half full of water and sinking fast
With pumps and buckets. and aided by the
harbor force and the crews Of the tug Glib
bon ana yacht vafcour the water was
taken out of the boat and the hole in her
side closed before she was damaged.
The Mercedes is the tender to the War
Department, and Is used by the officers for
short trips on the river during the warm
weather. She Is a relic OF the war with
SPAIN having been one Of the tenders of
the Spanish cruiser Mercedes. and was cap
tured on that ship

THE TRUTH.

1t is remarkable what incorrect in
huences or uncharitable conclusions
may sometimes be drawn from wrong
premises In our last issue we took
occasion to compliment our fellow
townsman, Mr.. D. NJ. D. Mcleod. This
he richly deserved, but we are afraid
that in doing so we may have given
ground to the suspicious or the unin,
formed to do an Injustice to one of our
most efficient, energetic and accom-
modating county officials. Incident
ally we mentioned the fact that Mr.
Mcleod was engaged in recording a
paper bearing date of 1902. Such was
the fact but the paper referred to was
one ii ali action commences! in ;ha.
year but only recently disposed Of
hence, under the law. could not be en-
tered on the records until now.
The reason for Mr.. Mcleod working
SO many hours was characteristic OF
our ever obliging accommodating and
po tie Clerk OF Court. Il non resident
party was anxious to have papers re-
corded aud returned to him by the
earliest mail practicable Mr.. Drake,
as always anxious to comply with any
reasonable request in the performance
OF his efficient duties, requested Mr.
Mcleod to do little extra work in
obliging this gentlemen, and Mr.. Nc
Leod cheerfully acquiesced. Such are
the facts. In passin a compliment
on Mr.. Mcleod, therefore, to which he
was justly entitled, we indirectly bu
necessarily complimented our Clerk.
for it was his devotion to the prompt
and efficient performance of his official
duties that gave rise 10 the local.
