courasing message to General Iinevtch
promising INN men, provisions and other
necessnries for attaining an ultimate vic
tory. It Is also reported that the Rus
sian Emperor recently ordered the nobI.

taken in connection with the reported
limitation of NJ Wtttes power as chief

signs that Russia is not sincere in hel

Every community suffers more or
less from individual who trade on the
Catholic name when political job is
in sight whether the body Catholic
has reason to be proud of them or not.
Every Catholic who enters politics, /"
says the Sacred Heart Review,
SHOULD feel that he has not only his
own good name to defend but the good
name of his Church. If our fellow-citi-
zens of other creeds behold men who
pass for Catholics engaging them
selves in dirty, corrupt, political prac-
tees, or condoning fraud and false
dealing in others, what opinion are
they going to have of the Church's
teachings?" There is also something
of moral obligation in exercising the
right of suffrage which might tend to
relegate to the rear the unworthy req
resentatives of race and faith. saws the
Catholic Columbian.

NAL people are those who come out
on top in the long run. Nature and
human nature detest abnormal things,
unhappy people are certainly abnormal
people. 1t is said that nothing makes
happiness like happiness, and, from OBJ
servatiOn, one sees that it is true. Hap
piness is two things--a good habit and
a spiritual state. Many women, you
think, are born unhappy. Is there any
one such a weakminded creature that
she cannot cultivate the good habit Of
being happy? The trouble with the
average woman who fancies herself
unhappy is only an unwholesome tan
cy. She caresses and nourishes un-
happiness. In other words, she hugs
trouble. She luxuriates in being
melancholy, in looking on the wrong
side of things. If she only knew how
disagreeable this made her in the sight
men she would very soon change her
tactics, for it has come to be a recog-
nized fact in modern civilization that
happiness is a necessity of life

Too Much For Nothing.

Newspapers are doing altogether too
much for the men who want political
preferment, for the railroads, the thea
tiers and the publishers of metropolitan
journals, says the Journalist Elk
change. If these beneficiaries were
compelled to pay for their advertising
and reading notices, as other people
catering to the public are obliged to
do, the newspapers would make lot
more money and the workers on the
press would be better off. AS a
journalist puts it, "such a thing as a
free pass, complimentary seat or
presentation book, is practically nom
existent, so far as the press is con-
cerned; newspaper men pay ten times
over for all they get in these lines,
and the more quickly they come to the
conclusion that reading space is worth
money, whether it is given to rail-
road, a show, book, or a ham, the
sooner they will get the newspaper to
a sound commercial basis"

Waldeck-ROSseau

NJ. Waldeck-Rosseau is dead;
Combes has dropped out of political
life: and yet the Church and the
priests and religious whom they
thought to exterminate are Furnishing
just as if the names of Rosseau and
Combes had never appeared to dis
grace the history of France, says the
Providence Visitor. Though the battle
against the Church has been fought
since the beginning, still men have not
learned the folly of contending with
the God of heaven and earth. Mightier
men than the renegades of our day have
alrayed themselves against the Vicar
Of Christ. Julian, when he threw his
blood towards heaven, exclaimed, "the
NaZarene has conQuered!'; and even
Napoleon, when he knew that the glory
of the world had departed from him,
SAW in his own Imprisonment only the
reflection of the sufferings of Plus VII
upon himself. Bismarck, too, though
lie had just conquered the strongest
nation on earth, and ruled the victori-
GUS Germans with an iron hand, all too
late was forced to make the journey to
Canossa. While persecution reigns the
Church weeps; but her tears render her
more beautiful and make of the barren
waste garden Of lilies.

GroWls of a Dy speptic.

Some girls marry for money because
it is necessary to have some excuse.
Women think they do the postmaster
favor when they buy postage stamp.
After girl has refused him twelve
times a superstitious man will quit
proposing.
Some husbands are mean enough to
keep half dozen mothers-in-laws
busy.
Sympathy is wasted on the unknown
man who let's famous woman marry
him.
Never judge merchants cash re-
ceipts by the number of lady shoppers
in his store.
A woman is always willing to ac-
knowledge a mans superiority when
she has led pencil to sharpen.
Many man gets reputation for
being good-natured because he is too
lazy to stand up for his rights. i.
The man who advertises for a wife
will get lot more replies than the
one who advertises for cook.

Irishman King of Portugal.

An 1rishman was once king of Por-
tusal, or at least he once ruled in the
kings stead over that country. In
November, 1910, there was revolution
in Portugal, brought about by the ty-
rannical exactions of Miguel Vasconcel-
los, the secretary Of state. The hated
minister was shot and the vice-queen,
Margaret of Savoy, abdicated. The
crown was offered to the Duke of Bra
ganza, who was living at Villavicosia.
Meanwhile, until the duke should ac-
cept the crown the people Of Lisbon
elected a popular and influential Irish
merchant, named John Darcy, who re-
sided in the city, as their nominal
king. Darcy accepted the honor con-
ferred upon him and bore the title Of
liking Of Portugal from December i
to December 6, 1910.

The Popular Girl.

The girl that is popular is the girl
who laughs. Not the girl that shippers
and Fuckers or giggles, but the girl
that laughs and means it. The girl
that laughs can have candy and flowers
and theaters every day in the week.
Men flock about her. They adore her.
She laughs herself straight into the
hearts Of beaux and admirers and
straight into all the good times that a
girl can dream of. She laughs, but she
is careful when she laughs. She laughs
with her beaux, but never at them.
She laughs at what they say when they
say it, but never afterward. She laughs
at their jokes, but never about them.
She never laughs at anyone's blunders
or misfortunes.

The ordinary office-holder and Office
seeker is unable to understand the at
titude of T. D. O'Brien in reference
to the fees connected with the Office he
holds. To them the idea that a man
should refuse to accept large fees
which have always gone to the occu-
pant of the Office but should, on the
other hand, insist on turning them
over to the state, is past understand
ing. The ordinary species of the ge-
nus politician is ever ready to accept
everything in sight. To them the ac-
ton of Mr.. O'Brien in abiding by the
spirit of the law is an indication
either that Mr.. O'Brien is playing for
higher stakes or else that he is fool.
Mr.. O'Brien is not fool, neither is he
playing for higher stakes; he is simply
adhering to the law as ne finds it. He
wants reasonable pay for his services,
but he wants to get it in accordance
with law or not at all. We wish there
were more such men in Office.

Of speculation, accompanied by fraud,

He gives names and goes into detail
