From that day. said Buxton, flushing
ton and l never went into the lobby
that O'Connell did not follow u.s.
las an orator nature intended him
for our Demosthenes. Never since the
steat Greek has she sent forth any
one so lavishly gifted for his work as
trpute of the people. He had a mag
blflcent presence, impressive in bear
ing, massive like that of Jupiter. A
small O'Connell would hardly have
been an O'Connell at all. 1 remember
Russell Lowell telling us that Mr..
Webster came home from Washington
at the time the Wing party thought of
dissolution, and went down in Faneuil
Hall to protest. Drawing himself to
his loftiest proportions, his brow cloth
ed with thunder, he said to the listen
ing thousands: Gentlemen, 1 am a
Wing, a Massachusetts Wing, rev.
dictionary Wing. If you break the
Wing party where am I to go? And
says Lowell: we held our breath,
thinking where he could go. If he had
been five feet three we should have
said: who cares where you go?' So
it was with O'Connell. There was
something majestic in his presence be-
fore he spoke, and he added to it what
Webster had not, that Clay might have
lent-that magnetism that melts all
hearts into one.
"Then he had voice that covered
the gamut. I heard him once say: 4
send my voice across the Atlantic, ca
reering like the thunder storm against
the breeze, to tell the STAKEHOLDER Of
the Carolinas that Gods thunderbolts
are hot and to remind the bondsman
that the dawn of his REDEMPTION is
lear And you seemed to hear his
voice come echoing back from the
Rocky Mountains. Then, with the
slightest possible Irish brogue, he
would tell a story at which all Exeter
Hall shook with laughter, and the next
moment, as he spoke with the tears in
his voice, five thousand men wept. And
all the while no effort. He seemed on

Nervous Prostitution.

Heredity has much to do with nery-
GUS disorders. If ones ancestors have
been long lived race, phenomenal
vitality is often inherited, and with this
aid much can be prevented or cured.
If the opposite is the case, however,
no pains should be spared in endeavor-
ing as far as possible to counterfeit any
predisposition to disease. Of the
methods by which nervous prostration
can be prevented one of the most i'm
portant is to have three good, varied
and we'll cooked meals per day. Take
plenty of time to eat them. No meal
should be eaten in less than half an
hour-or, better still, even an hour, es-
pecially for dinner. Good can be de-
rived, too, from the surroundings and
conditions under which the meal is
taken. Food is worse than wasted
which is taken into the system when
laboring under great excitement, grief,
anxiety or other disturbing conditions.
Above all things avoid all highly sea-
soned foods-many of them are pro-
ductive Of far more harm than good.
A proper amount Of sleep at nighttime
is another preventive. Take eight
hours sound sleep. By this do not
mean merely eight hours in bed, but
eight hours restful sleep. If you do
not fall asleep easily, or the sleep is
broken or restless, OF you lie awake
for an hour or more after going to
bed, you should remain in bed ten
hours. To endeavor to get along with
less than the natural amount of sleep
is simply counting nervous disorder.
1t has been found, too, that many peo-
pie become broken down nervously be-
cause they are bored and worried by
the veXation of restless and purpose
less life. Overwork is bad, but want
Of work is equally harmful. To worry
and fret over trifles has undoubtedly
great deal to do with nervous de-
preston. Every woman should get
certain amount of moderate exercise in
the open air. 1t makes no difference
what kind is taken so long as it exer-
cises all the muscles and is not fol-
lowed by sense of fatigue. The ques-
ton is not what exercise you think you
ought to have, but what you can EN-
dure. If you find you can only walk
one hour each day without becoming
fatigued, then that is enough. If you
cannot take much exercise, then walk
half an hour, but If half an hours ex-
ercise exhausts you so that you do not
quickly recover after short rest then
you are in need Of a DOCTOR

Zone of the most potent, most ubi-
quitous, most constantly operative
causes is the vast volume of criminal
suggestion flowing in upon the public
mind through various MEANS but es-
pecially through the daily press. In
the daily recital of criminal actions
is the average instruction in crime as
a fine art. The reader is taught how
to perform the crime and how to avoid
punishment
president Hopkins, who is not a
Catholic, is brave enough to strike at
the very root of the evil. The sensa-
tional daily press is educating the
youth of the country in the ways Of
depravity and crime. And yet there
are thousands Of Catholic parents in
Michigan and elsewhere who allow
their sons and daughters to read those
debasing journals and who have no
use for a Catholic paper in their
households. God pity the children Of
such parents, says the Editor of the
Michigan Catholic.)

lied for the extension of the Church,
aiding poor missions, giving cheap
money for building churches and
schools, etc. Our Methodist friends in
this case can teach us a lesson; each
pastor being gratuitous agent, and the
business placed in the hands of a
bureau or board of directors of practi-
cal business men.
OF course, in this article have omit
ted what belongs to pastors and their
parish obligations, such as the build
ing of schools, the nurseries of the
Church, the occasional having of mis-
sions to get back the stray ones, and
the instructions which Jealous pastors
will give occasionally on Sunday even

the plainest language, for the article is
intended for the laity, except where
otherwise mentioned. wish to see the
laity interested in this enrolling work.
God, grateful for such efforts, would
shower blessings on the undertaking.
OF course, heated or angry discussions
must be carefully avoided. But tits
amazing how ignorant our neighbors
are Of Catholic doctrine, and when ex-
planned to them they seem pleased, and
invariably say, "Well, l never knew
that"
Dear reader, is the extending of the
kingdom of God worthy Of our best
and most earnest efforts? If so, then
let us make it. And wonderful is the
advance the Church will make here in
the next few years. Yes, wonderful is

LAYS CRIME TO NEWSPAPERS.
Suggestions In Daily Papers Debase
the People.

a New York Associated Press dis
patch Of March 18th has this to say:
There has been a marked increase
in crime and criminal tendencies
among all classes and that this condi-
ton has been due to semi-conscious
suggestions from various causes,
among them the vulgarity Of news
papers, debased theaters, impure liter
allure and divorces, all Of which may
be remedied, is the belief expressed by
Henry Hopkins, president of Williams
college, at meeting of the Patria club.
'The foundations of the personal
character of our national life are seri-
ously threatened" he said, "by ugly
features Of the present time. There
is Astounding evidence of an alarming
increase in crime of every sort, but
particularly Of the kind that under
mines honesty, chastity and respect
for law. There is growing infidelity
to financial trust and consequently a
visible loss of confidence of man in his
fellow men.

FIRST INDIAN PRIEST.
Full Dloolel Pottawatonie Recently
Ordained at Rome.

Until Rev. Father Albert Negahn-
quet completed his four years. course
in the propaganda at Rome, during the
present year, there had never been a
full-blooded Indian admitted to the
priesthood Of the Roman Catho.
lie Church. Since the first days
following Americas discovery, this
Church has ever been Jealous in
converting the Indians, and through
education placing them III a position
to advance in civilization. There have
been, too, many Jealous converts, but
none has ever before reached the
priesthood.
Father Negahnquet was born in 1874
on the Pottawatomie Indians former
reservation, near st. Mary's, Kan.
Through the untiring efforts of Jesuit
missionaries the Pottawatomie tribe,
nearly century before, had been con.
verified to the Catholic faith. The old
est of ten children, NegahnQuet was
taken, at a tender age, to the Church
of the Assumption, at Topeka, Kan.
for baptism. Soon afterward his par
ents removed, with other members of
the tribe, to the Pottawatomies' new
reservation, in then the central part of
the Indian territory. He attended the
government school for Indians, and
his unusual intelligence as a pupil at
tracted the attention of the teachers.
They encouraged him to go farther
with his studies, and he therefore en-
tered the school of the Sacred Heart,
maintained for the Indians by the
Catholics, in southern Pottawatomie
county, Okla.
While attending Sacred Heart this
Indian student came into the notice
Of Mother Katherine Drexel, a member
of the celebrated Philadelphia family
of that name, and through her assist
ance and that Of her sister, Mrs. Nor
rell. he was enabled to complete his
studies at that institution. He next
went to Carlisle, Pa, and from it t.
the Catholic university at Washington,
from which in due time he passed to
the propaganda at Rome.

Hard Knocks.

00IU AuVGASs
This life's not beer and skittles ell
tirely, as we know;
It's not bed of roses for most of us
here below;
It's not all warmth and sunshine; it's
not one glad, sweet song;
But things have got fashion, we all
find, Of going wrong.
Our paths are strewn with briers and
at times are mighty rough;
To reach the goal we start for takes a
constitution tough;
1t calls particularly for thickness of
the skin.
You certainly won't get there if your
hides too thin.
It's not at all plain sailing on sea
that's calm and still,
With gentle breezes blowing fair the
outspread sails to fill.
At almost any moment you may get a
sudden shock
And find with CONSERVATION that
you've split upon a rock.
When you indulge in bowling you have
got to look for rubs.
The man who's energetic can expect
some little snubs,
But never let them dash you; you
must bear them with a grin;
You're bound to get more Of them if
your hides too thin.
It's push and dig and elbow if you
want to make your way.
It's give and take with freedom, and
it's fasten on and stay.
You'll get clipped on the edges and
some polish you will lose,
But mush and milk and waters not
the diet you must choose.
So keep your feet a-moving and they
won't step on your corns.
You won't pick many roses If you're
sensitive to thorns;
If you've certain object and to get it
you decide
You've got to find some process that
will tougher up your hide.

CHAPTER VH-

When Virginia seeded and her
young men rushed to the front, among
the first to seek a commission was
Raymond Holbin This was in the
days when most people believed that
the military feature of secession
would prove little more than a grand
spectacular demonstration. Gradu-
etes of West Point were at once in
great demand, and backed by the
Brookin influence Holbin was ap-
pointed captain of infantry among
the state troops, no search of his rec
srd being at the time possible; but
when the state transferred her troops
to the confederate government, and
Holbin sought a colonelcy, advancing
In support of his application the fact
that he had been an officer in the reg
ular army, the matchless memory of
the southern president recalled his
history. Jefferson Davis had been sec
rotary of war at the time the Holbin
court-martial was held, and the rec
ord coming before him for review, he
had promptly approved the sentence
OF the court. A long struggle to Sc
cure modification of the sentence
had followedt-and IN this struggle
many politicians had been arrayed by
Holbln's mother, but in vain. The
sentence stood; and these people new
er forgot the issues involved; the
doloins hated Jefferson Davis. The
name "Holbin" had chung to the mem
DRY OF the hero of Buena Vista; he
deslined to appoint Raymond Holbin
or to commission him in any way to
command honorable men. The deci-
sion was in harmony with his deyo-
ton TO his principles, a devotion that
was destined to make him in the end
the most unfortunate of American
statesmen.
This new public reflection upon Hol-
bin filled him with an ungovernable
rage. Had safe opportunity offered.
ne would not have hesitated to send
bullet through the heart of the man
who was responsible for it. Indeed.
he armed himself, and for manv
months was convinced that he might
at any moment be dedicated to the
discharge OF a patriotic duty. The
president of the confederacv walked
daily in the presence of death. for
fanaticism and desperate men sur
rounded him. his safety lay in the
TACT that he walked in the sunlight.
where the results of an attack prom
ised never less than life for life. And
Raymond Holbin was not the man
TO barter his away; he bided his time.
A far more dangerous enemy was his
mother, who numbered official ac-
quaintances in Washington by the
scores, and who knew when and
where to plant the deadliest blow.
This woman, secure in her social posi-
