spontaneity and naturalness of Cath
', olic piety, illustrates his point by
many a graphic picture, among others
the following:
go to Ireland (and more Catholic
nation does not exist on the face of
the earth), and there you see how
, simple and naturally the people prac-
, ice religion. There is an easy, un-
,, conventional style about the whole
thing which is truly edifying. Not one
morning, but seven mornings in the
week, whether in crowded cities or
quiet villages, the church bells sum-
mon the faithful to mass and holy
communion-not after an ample break
fast Of ham and eggs (according to
the principle of that typical Presby-
terian, DIR. Guthrie ('porridge first and
then prayer') but with an unbroken
fast, at 4 or or a. NJ, when Prot
estants are snoring in their beds.
Cheerfully the people respond, and
Scotch folk would be astounded If
they behold the number who morning
after morning, without any obligation,
but purely out of devotion, begin the
day with Jesus Christ in the blessed
sacrament. At midday the Angelus
bell peals forth through the streets and
hills and valleys. In the afternoon
there is constant stream of visitors
to the blessed sacrament, some re-
naming for long periods of time, so
sweet they find it to be in the pres
ence of their Savior.
! cat the corner of almost every
street a little shrine is fixed, from
which some holy face looks down upon
you as you pass; on the country roads
you suddenly find yourself kneeling
beside wayside crucifix on a shrine
of Our Blessed Lady; in the fields and

hand and beg holy picture or a

These are but samples to show how
natural and simple and unaffected
Catholics are in practicing their re-
ligion. I am not copying this from a
guidebook, but writing what 1 know
and have seen myself. They do not
put on long faces and a special black
suit and look paternally solemn on one
day out of seven. They live in con-

Vision Of the Wounds.

Two Hands have haunted me for days.
Two Hands Of slender shape
All crushed and torn as in the press
Is bruised the purple grape;
At work or meals, at prayer or play,
Those mangled Palms 1 see;
And a plaintive voice keeps whisper
ing,
"These Hands were pierced for thee!"
For me. sweet Lord, for me?
"Yea, even so, ungrateful thing,
These Hands were pierced for thee!"
Thro' tolls and dangers pressing on
AS thro' fiery flood,
Two slender Feet beside my own
Mark every step with blood,
The swollen veins so rent with nails,
It breaks my heart to see
While the same sad voice cries out
afresh:
"These Feet were pierced for thee"
For me, dear Christ, for me?
lea, even SO, reDelllOuS neSh,
These Feet were pierced for thee!'
AS on the journey to the close,
Those wounded Feet and mine.
Distincter still the Vision grows
And more and more divine;
For in my Guides wide-open Side,
The cloven Heart 1 see,
And the tender voice is moved to
moan:
This Heart was pierced for thee.r
For me, great God, for me?
YEA, enter in, My love, Mine own,
This Heart was pierced for thee!"

COMPROMISE ON RATE LAW

 Cabinet.

Is Urged by Senators and Members of
 Cabinet.
 Walter Wellman's Washington Special
 to Chicago Record Herald.
 Now the pressure Is on President Roosevelt. Some of the most powerful leaders of the Republican Party are urging him to accept a compromise in the railway rate question. It is impos- sible to forecast the outcome of their efforts. They would like the President to change his message and recommend a measure calculated to restore har- mony within the party. The Presi- dents message is not only written, but printed. There are as yet no signs of weakening on Mir. Roosevelt's part. The probabilities are he will stand pat in his message and refuse to change It. But this would not preclude his accept ance of a reasonable compromise after ward.
 President Roosevelt has a hard row to hoe these days. The pressure upon him is intense. Not only are powerful Senators bringing influence to bear to Induce him to modify his <attitude on the rate question, but members of the Cabinet are helping them. Among these is Secretary of State Root who is. not only a great lawyer. but man in whose judgment the President places the greatest confidence, and who, be- sides. has strong influence with MT. Roosevelt on the side of the personal equation. The arguments which these Senators and their allies in the Cabinet use with the President are ingenious and alluring. The men who are engi- neering the movement to break down the Presidents resolution manage in one way or another to get their side of the case before him almost every day. It is not going to be easy for MT. Roosevelt to withstand this pressure. But he may do 1t.

 He weaEs only short pointed beard on his chin, trimming the sides of his face closely. He never could get bar Der to trim his beard exactly as he wanted it, and so he took to trimming it himself. He bought himself a clip per for the sides of his face. and then. with pair of shears. he was all equip ped. "He trims his beard every day, and he makes a pretty good job of 1t. A barber could tell that 1t Is hand cut, so to speak. but you couldn't tell now so easily as you could at first, because he's improved in his work. and now he turns out a pretty good job. So there's one man, anyway. that trims his own beard. but I never knew anybody that cut his own hair.
 You say you knew a man once that had thirty-one razors, one for every day In the month? We'll, that's a good many razors. more than I ever heard of. A good many men have a case of razors, seven, one for every day in the week, and plenty of men own two or three rasors. But one razor will do a man very well if it's a good one.
 What about the idea that a man ought to have more than one razor, so that he can use a razor one day and then let 1t rest a. day. that a razor im- proves by restinga- We'll, I don't take much stock in that idea.
