CARDINAL is GRATEFUL.
For Loyal Support Given the Catholic
University.

Under date of Nov. 6, Cardinal Glib
bons has r1ailed to the Catholic press
the following letter concerning the
welfare Of the Catholic University at
Washington:
! take pleasure in bringing to your
attention the excellent condition of the
Catholic University of America shown
in the rector's report for the current
year. AS an evidence Of careful adj
ministration. this statement is both
creditable and encouraging; and . I
have noted with special qualification
the Favorable impression 1t produced
throughout tho country.
In addition am happy to state with
a. great feeling of gratitude that the
amount Of the collection for 1905-19O6
was $100,4S9.45. AS the University is
now free from debt, this sum has been
employed, partly IN meeting current
expenses and partly in increasing the
endowment fund which at. present
amounts: to S431,29O.46 and which is
invested in the best securities: -
BY their loyal support our hierarchy
and faithful people have enabled the
University to discharge fully all its
financial obligations and to continue
its work during most critical period
without closing a department or re-
leasing a single professor. They have,
moreover. by their prompt sympathy
Allied lis all with fresh confidence and
hope and have infused now 'vigor into
the saea demic life Of the University IT
SELF.

Mark Twain on Advertising.

Mark Twain, in the midst of a
panegyric Oh advertising, told a
remarkable story.
There was a man." he said,
"back Iowa way, who was so
pleased with all advertisement in
the local paper that he wrote the
following testimonial to the editor:
Mr.. Editor, Sir: After selling
what could, giving barrels away,
and stufing my hogs until they
would eat no more, I still had,
last fall, about 200 tons Of big,
juicy, fine favored apples left on
my hands. I inserted in your
valuable paper al advertisement
that was willing to send free a
barrel of picked fruit, freight paid
in advance by me, to any one who
would apply, there being, of
course, no charge for the barrel.
YOU will hardly cred;c it, but that
little Accent ad cleared out my
whole stock of apples, and I could
have disposed OF FIVE times the
quantity on the same terms. -

A Good Deal of Meaning.

Senator Knox, at q reception in
Philadelphia, said of a certain
speech:
"A good deal of meaning was
subtly expressed i'll q very few
words. It was like the speech that
a young girl made to all aged mil

This aged man had proposed to
the young girl, and she had ac-
cepted his offer.
A few days before the wedding
the old gentleman, taking the hand
of his prospective bride, said with
tender earnestness:
Dear, do YOU love ne for
what I am, or for what I was?'
I love you, dear friend, she
replied, for what YOU will be. y

Vacation as an Educator.

1t is neither necessary nor de-
sirable to study books while on a
vacation; for vacation affords a
great opportunity for study without
books. for exercising the faculties
which are not brought into play
much during the strenuous work
ing months of the year.
What a splendid opportunity,
for example, a vacation affords for
the cultivation of the powers of
observation, the ability to see
things, when not worried or harried
by the exacting duties of orr voca-
ton.
Few people ever really learn to
use their eyes in a scientific way;
for it is one thing to look at a thing
with the eyes, ard another to see
with the mind, to think, about it,
to compare it, to draw conclusions,
and to reflect upon it.
To many people tree is a tree,
flower a flower, and nothing more.
1t is only the few who appreciate
the marvels in each individual tree,
flower, leaf or landscape. How
many have ever really seen the
miracle in a flower, even the COM
monest wild flower, or ever learned
to read the marvellous stories in
the leaves, the plants, or the trees?
How many attempt to fathom the
mysteries in the country, or ever
learn to read the handwriting of
the Creator i'll the rocks, or ever
look at the beautiful things of
nature as the expression of God 5
thought?
There are beauties aud mysteries,
marvels enough in the tiniest bit
of country to stir Ruskin into
ecstasy, and yet most of US are in
different to these mysteries and
beauties. 20. S. Marden in Sue

Omaha daily bee., 1906-05-28

has a right in this land and Il is our bat
tie to wipe their dirty colors from the face
Of this republic. This land ie free, but too
free for such foolshness. This nag floats
for the betterment Of civilization and not
for every man to haunt wildcat politics
under It's protection.
It Is the evolution OF the victory that
this banner bespeaks that makes up the
substance OF this mornings discourse.
Once this nag had to beg to the world in
order that II might have help and France
loaned US lafayette and Rocheambeau
and Germany Won steuben and Poland
Kosciusko. Again this fiag was drenched
in blood that flowed because OF fraternal
hate, but the greatest victory that came
from that strife was that men could hate
each other and then be the closest of
friends, for in the war with Spain and in
the war Of the Philippines the northern
and the southern soldier fought side by
side. Again the folds OF this flag was
wrapped around the beleaguered Cuban
and after the vultures OF Spain were torn
away, then under it's protection the Cuban
was told to go and earn his bread in peace.
The day is coming. 1 believe, when as this
flag. in company with the union Jack,
marched over the walls Of Picking to help
the world be better, that in the forefront
OF civilization, on the picket lines OF Chris
tianity, away out among paganism, this
flag will stand for better world and a
unified civilized people. God grant that at
that time our sons will be as brave as the
boys of the rebellion,
