1.-THE Best Man Afloat."

Father Matthew c. Gleeson, chap
lain of the battleship Missouri, is one
of the few sailormen of the Atlantic
fleet who hasn't claimed shore leave
since the ships came here from the
southern cruise, says The New York
Evening Post. He makes pretty much
every trip with the launch when it
goes ashore, simply to be on hand if
any Of his boys" need a helping hand
on their return from liberty. If any
have overstayed their leave, he stands
by to plead for them with the officer
OF the deck, and, in nine cases out of
ten, his plea results in the culprit' s
excuse being accepted without a re-
port of the delinquency going to the
first lieutenant.
They're a fine lot of boys we have
on the Missouri" Father Gleason said,
as he sat in the stern of the ships
launch, which was carrying a dozen
or more sailors back on board. Look
1T tHell. MOSC Oh tnem are IRON the
Western States and don't know much
about big city like New York. They've
been cooped up on board for four
months. working their hearts out with
drills and target practice and what not,
yet here they come back from forty
eight hours shore leave as fresh as
daisies"
Some of them were dropping and
wlted daisies" but Father Gleeson's
cherry words appeared to put new life
into them. and, as they lined up before
the officer of the deck, each answered
to his name with an air of just COM
ing from hammock to respond to a
call to quarters More than one owed
it to Father Gleason that he was not
hauled over the Goals. The men on
their part swear by their chaplain as
the best man afloat.

Mailed to the Cross,

In nine out of ten pictures of the
crucifiXion where Christ's two COM
panions in death are represented they
are pictured as having been fastened
to the cross with thongs or cords.
The question naturally arises: Were
the thieves in reality bound to their
different instruments of torture while
the blessed Savior was nailed to His:
And. if SO, which mode of death was
considered the more ignominious-
binding or mailing? The remoteness of
the event and the fact that in this
case historical truth may have been
Sacrificed to pictorial effect make the
above questions hard ones to answer
The early writer's almost invariably re-

nailed to the cross. While the early
picture maker adhered to the general

crosses.
IL VIC w give any cIeuCllCe " lue
story of the holy Empress Helen and
the reputed discovery OF the three
crosses in the year 1923 A. D., the two
thieves were nailed to their crosses in
a manner similar to that observed in
the crucitiXion of the Savior. This
conclusion has been settled upon for
this reason: When the three crosses
were disinterred from the mound III
which tradition said they had been
buried. that upon which Christ had
suffered was only distinguished from
the other two by the miracles it per-
formed. This would certainly suffice to
prove that all three of the instruments
of torture bore similar nail marks and
that the tradition of Christ being the
only one nailed was not known at that
time

The Age to Marry.

The girl who maries at 20 is usually
quite convinced in her own mind that
she will be absolutely and perfectly
happy all her life long. simply because
she seldom looks far into the future.
Her husband is all she sees or wants
to see. and advice. questionings and
what not fall upon deaf ears.
But the girl who marries at % is
tolerably sure of domestic happiness.
She does not enter into the bonds of
matrimony without thinking we'll of

few extra years of her life have given
her time to see how others manage

After all. the world has only pity for
the man who devotes his life to the
piling up of vast wealth. says The
Omaha True Voice. There died in New
York this week an old man who had
amassed money by shrewd speculation
and who had apparently thought of
nothing for years but ways and means
of adding to his store. He was wealthy
but men pitied him. He died many
times a millionaire, but his life was
wasted. He was deaf and blind to the
better things of life, and turned him
self into Il mere machine for the coin
ing of dollars. Few have reason to
bless his generosity, for every generous
impulse was stitled by greed of gain.
How different his life might have been!
of his fellow man he might have
lived life of usefulness and his pass
ing would have called forth deep regret.
He lived for himself alone and in doin.
so missed all that life is worth living
for. The death of Russell Sage calls
forth no note of regret. The world has
lost nothing. His place in the whirl
of stock speculation will be taken by
another and business will go on as be-
it's slaves.

Mr. Hearst wants to be governor of
the State of New York and would like
to have the Democratic nomination.
He is afraid that he can not get it by
entering into a square and fair fight
within the party for delegates so he has
organized an independent party owned
by himself. He has called the state
convention on day separate from the
day set for the Democratic convention
and threatens to put complete ticket
into the field. 1t remains to be seen
whether the Democratic party of the
State of New York will be sand-bagged
into giving him the nominat ton. Mr..
Hearst learned in his campaign for the
presidential nomination in 1904 that,
while he easily had the most noise on
his side, he lacked the votes. He now
proposes to utilize the noise through

All who are in favor of honesty in
politics will rejoice at the success of
Governor Cummins in Iowa. a deter
mined effort was made by the stand
pat" Republicans to prevent Governor
Cummins from obtaining a rc-nomina-
ton. The conservatives even threat
ened to steal the convention but they
evidently feared that Governor Cum
minis running upon an independent
ticket would be reelected over Il cam
didate regularly nominated by them, so
they allowed the delegates that were
elected by the people to do the nomin-
ating. La Toilette of Wisconsin and

Fifth Week at ch.mplain Assembly.

A comparative study of the attend
ance and happenings Of the month of
July during the fifteen years existence
of the Summer School reveals the
fact that the month just ended has far
surpassed all previous records. The
average of attendance has at all times
been at least one hundred more than
at the same time previously. The height
of the season usually reached about
the fifteenth of August, must this year
be counted as commencing with the
first, for on that day Cliff Haven saw
the thousand mark passed. The pros
poets for the continuance of this pros
porous state of affairs are of the bright
est. The overcrowding and incon-
venience suffered for short period last
year cannot be repeated this summer.
The dining capacity at both the Dining
Hall and at the Champlain Club now
surpass- the demand of former. sessions,
and the larger facilities at the various
cottages and clubs have been so in
creased as to make possible the accom-
mediation of nearly twelve hundred
persons.
Several pleasant social affairs have
contributed to the pleasure of the week.
The customary Sunday night recep-.
ton in the Auditorium had for it's
guests of honor Rev. Robert Schwick-
erath. S. j., of Boston; Rev. Charles
Warren Currier Of Washington; Dr..
James J. Walsh and Frank keenan, of
New York City. For an hour, a large
gathering listened attentively to brief
addresses from these men-speeches
that sparkled with humor and glancing
wit, and that glowed with earnest COM
mendation of the work at Cliff Haven.
The Literature of the Spanish Amer
lean countries was the subject ade-
quately and luxuriously discussed on
the mornings of this week, by Rev.
Charles Warren Currier of Washing
ton. -Four illustrated lectures were
given on the evenings, by Rev. I. J.
kavanagh of Montreal on the famous
Canadian expedition to Labrador in
1905, and two by Anna Seaton Schmidt
OF Boston on France, Her People and
Her Art. Each OF these courses was a
