THE SACRED HEART.

The month of June is upon US You know it.
YOU feel it, without being told. The long days. the
bright sun, the unfolding of the flower buds in the
warm sunshine, the soft, balmy air carrying its
burden of pleasing odors, the carol of song-birds
in the trees, the humming of winged insects in
the air-all speak to you of June the most glorious
season of all the year-a season of heat and life,
bespeaking the warmth and vitality there is in
God. What more fitting tribute than that Mother
Church should dedicate this month to the Sacred
Heart of Jesus, the Heart of God, the God of life
and love! The Church, with her profound knowl-
edge of human nature which calls for variety even
IN Its worship of God, consecrates each month of
the year 10 some special mystery of religion, and
with unerring instinct has she consecrated this
grandest of seasons to the grandest and greatest
of mysteries-the mystery of Gods love for man;
for Is not the Incarnation of the Son of God the
greatest of all mysteries, and what is the Incarna-
ton but the effect of Gods love-a love which the
Catholic tries to recprocate in his Devotion to
the Sacred Heart of Jesus Z" This is reciprocal
ton which, as we shall see, reason and the In

COLORADO HORRORS.

The deplorabe state of affairs in Colorado
not but send chill through the heart of every
loyal American citizen. Why is it that such things
happen in a free country? Is it the men? If so,
why are there not such things going in every
state in the Union? There are men, the same iden-
teal kind of men, employed in the same identical
manner in many states of the Union. But
fear there are not such governors, and such
tin soldiers-thank God for it! When American
citizens are driven from bullpen to bu1pen, and
bounded out of this place and that, by militarism,
what may we look for but anarchy! When men
went there try to restore order they thrown
into military prisons ordered out of the state.
Wonder what the people of Colorado doing
Are they all playing Rip Van Wrinkle act! 1t
would seem that with such able, manly men as
there must surely be in the big state of Colorado
something can be done to put a stop to this, or
rather, long ago something could have been done
to avoid the awful happenings of the last few
months. From the reports that come from Colo
RADIO it does not appear that from the first it was
necessary to have the militia Since it has taken
possession, the courts of the state are powerIess
and the "tin soldiers" have things their own way
Any time, at any place EARTH when men are
treated like dogs, worse, there must be anarchia
results. Foster the beast in them and you must
have the acts of beasts. Why is it republic is
so successful? Because men are trusted and treat
ed like men, not like beasts.
Where were the militia at the time of the dyna-
hitting We do not read of any being killed. only
non-union men. If they are not there to protect
property and non-union men, what they there
for? What are they doing! Is there not such a
thing as a governor being impeached and soldier
being dshonorably discharged? 1t seems the au-
thorities. who do the impeaching and discharging
are negecting some pressing duties for surely
there is work in Colorado for them.

AN OUTRAGE.

During the last week the dispatches from two
different parts of the country brought the news to
US that two United States soldiers who made eff
forts to escape were killed by the sentries. 1t does
seem needlessly cruel to kill man, and that man
an American soldier who has voluntarily joined
the ranks to be ready at any time to defend his
country. We applaud the man who shoots down in
cold blood the escaping desperate or lesser Grim
inal, but it does seem as if an effort could be
made to shoot to MAIN halt, not to kill. After
all, the world is very small and the chances
the would have been caught, or, more prob
ably, given themselves up willingly, when they
came to their senses. In time of no fate, of
course, seems too hard to be meted out to
deserter, but we are at peace now with all the
word-at least that's what we are told (although
Colorado looks bad)-and at any stage of any
game little humanity does no harm. Perhaps it

Editor Intermountain Catholic:
My Dear Sir-RepIying to your faver asking my
approval of The Intermounain Catholic since its es
tabishment in this diocese. will state that consider
the founding of Catholic paper Salt Lake not the
least OF the many blessings bestowed by Providence
the Church here during the past two years. Its
birth occurred opportune time Its zeal in prop
agatng Catholic truth has had since its inception.
my hearty though silent approval L believe with
Our Holy Father that "a good Catholic journal is
perpetual mission in a parish and that it will
as question box at all times for anxious nquirers.
In my visitations shall hope to find The Intermoun-
tain Catholic in the home every Catholic family,
Its mission is to espouse truth justice and morality,
and all devoted priests will find it able co-opera
tor in their missionary work 1t is my wish that all
my priests and the laity entrusted to my charge
should encourage your noble effort and that of the
generous founder of The Intermountain Catholic.
Yours sincerely, L. SCANLAN

and the sinner believed in Him-belleved that 1t
was Christ against whom he had slnned, and that
Christ would forgive, and that sinner would be
changed into saint Such was the love and de-
votion of the Sacred Heart of Jesus for sinners
But the great masterpiece of His love- the IN
vincible proof of His DEVOTION the browning gift
of all-the gift for which we principally show our
gratitude in cur devotion to the Sacred Heart
was His dying legacy. Before the Good Shepherd
gave His life for His flock, He gave them His
Heart by nstituting the Blessed Eucharist, and
thus He found means of surviving death and of
perpetuating His presence among men whom He
loved so much-to be with them always, to love
them always to feed them always. Other shepherds
provide food for themselves from their focks, but
Jesus, the Good Shepherd, gives Himself to His
sheep to be their food and nourishment-" We
and eat; this is my body" Drink we all of this.
for this is my blood" He shall remain with them
till the end of time to sustain and console them
Come to me all you that labor and are heavily
laden, all you that suffer. Come to me, whatsoever
you may be-rich poor-and will refresh you"
The priest ascends the steps and at his bidding
the Divine Shepherd comes down upon the altar to
feed His sheep and to love them The priest
descends from the altar and departs, the people re-
turn to their homes; but He does not depart, He
does not return to His eternal home, but remains
there to await the approach of the stray sheep that
comes to Him during the lonely, silent hours of
the day night to listen to her tale of woe, to
receive her yearnngs to condoe her shortcomings
and follies, to assuage her sorrow, to pardon her
sins, to direct her feet in the way of peace to
dismiss her full of new consolation new confidence
new assurance, new courage and strength to tread
the thorny paths of life
This is the love and devotion for which our
Holy Mother, the Church, would have us make
some return during this glorious month of June
to this end she has dedicated the month to the
Sacred Heart-for this purpose she has established
tdmorrow's (Friday's) feast. AS dutiful children
it behooves us to make use of the opportunity af-
forded us of making return of love to the Sa-
cred Heart, as well as reparaon for all the neg
lect and all the outrages that it has been obliged
to undergo during the past year. Be we Christian
followers of Christ, lovers of the Good Master and
have no desire to reciprocate His love! Let us
then be up and doing with heart and will to
love and serve Him who has loved us unto death

THE NTERnoIyNTAN AND COLORADO CATHOLIC: II, 100

regulate and unite all the faithful with their SUI
preme Pastor, disorder, and as necessary conse-
quence, nothing but the outward forms of religion
are manifested. In France there must have been
great defect in the ducation given to the youth
All of the present ministers have been educated In
the Church and trained in Catholic schools. Many
of them, informed, showed great signs of
pious feelings in their youth; nay, some were des-
tined to become priests, and even received minor
ordrs Is not this sufficient proof that the educa-
tional system in France in the past has been de-
fective! Had they beeen thoroughly indoctrinated
in the principles of their religion, understood the
true sense and real meaning of the Little Cate
chism, which probably they knew BIZ heart they
would not today be making war on the Church and
the Vicar of Christ. The religious census of Paris.
III 1872, showed, out of a population of 100000
that 100000 registered themselves at Catholics,
who, the year previous, participated in the great
scandal of the commune and martyred their sanity
archbishop No doubt most of these communards
were baptized in their infancy and were educated
in French Catholic schools. But the ducation they
received must have been sorely defective, when in
stead of loving and revering their divinely APP
pointed spiritual ruler, they, with hatred and NAL
ice sacrificed his life in the guillotine The child
should be taught that individually, his chief con
is the salvation of his own SOUL also that as
a member of society he has social relations and
duties to perform. The latter, which are the off
spring of the former, inseparable from his du
ties to God man, and on their faithful observ-
ance to the best of his ability, depends his saliva
ton. These are Catholic principles which should
be instilled into youthful minds and their necessity
deeply implanted in the heart. To attach the child
to the Church, he must be taught to have afec
allegiance leads many innocent souls away from the
Church If this has not been the real cause of the
many troubles in France in the past and at pres
ent, we are at loss to explain the real diff
culties.
Religion, at present, has received setback By
the action of the French deputies but it is by no
means dead. Like in the past, a reaction is sure to
set in. Another Lacordairc is sure to arise, who
will make the youthful hearts of the future French
men palpitate with love and devotion to the sue
cessor of Peter. At present God knows what is
best, and whilst His Providence permits what the
Catholic world deplores we may safely possess our
souls in peace and look upon the present state of
affairs as a necessary adjunct to carry out the
present ilustrious Pontiffs motto, ITO restore all
things in, Christ

Certain summer tourists visited a

when the worthy clergyman Glanced
to be expounding the story of the de-
srruction of Pharaoh and his host. His
peroration was in these sublime
words: And Mossus and his people
crossed ofer safely to the other side,
bat Pharaoh and his host were SUBJ
merged in the water. And Pharaoh
lifted up his eyes and saw Mossus
standing safely on the other side,
and he cried and said, oh, Mossus,
safe mel But Mossus nefer let on
that he was hearing him. And he
cried again, and said, oh Mossus,

COST OF LOUIS BUTTONS.
Grand Monarque Said to Have Squan-
dered IS, 10000 in This Way.

Twenty thousand dollars for a drop
shaped pearl scarfpin, $4,000 for
pearl stud, $4,940 for a coat fastener
formed of white bouton pearl with
gold bar, $3.50 for seven buttons en-
suite and SITS for pair of brilliant
sleeve links-these are a few of the
prices realized at the recent sale in
London of a noble marquis jewelry.
But, after all. everything is compar-
ative. and the marquis gems, rare and
costly though they are, would have
been quite eclipsed by Louis XIV's
personal jewelry. The grand mon.
argue" had many crazes, but for but.
tens he had positive mania. In
single year, 1856, he squandered $780,
600 on them, and some of his pur.
chases are well worth glancing at.
On Aug. l, 1855, he bought two dia-
mona buttons for 67,966 francs and
seventy-five diamond buttons for $780,
103 francs. The buttons for single
vest cost Louis 100000. OF the 254
"Doutonnieres" used 162 contained five
diamonds each, while the remainder
were single diamonds. In all, the
great monarque" is said to have
spent s5,O00,000 on buttons alone.

Snakes EYES Never Closed.

Snakes may almost be said to have
glass eyes. inasmuch as their eyes
never close. They are without lids.
and each is covered with a transpar-
ent scale, much resembling glass.
When the reptile sheds its outer skin
tie eye scales come off with the rest
Of the transparent envelope out of
which the snake slips. This CLASSY
eye scale is so tough that it effec-
tually protects the true eye from the
twigs, sharp grass and other obstruc-
tions which the snake encounters in
it's travels, yet it is transparent
enough to allow the most perfect
vision. Thus, if the snake has not a
glass eye, it may, at any rate, be said
TO wear glasses.
