A Vain Fool. On?

The late Harry Fanmure Gordon, of
London, says Success, once said:
"A gentleman can live on two thou
sand pounds a month. That pays for
clothes, horses, carriages, yacht, grouse
moor, country place and .all that. You
know, Of course. if you want luxuries it
costs more"
Mr.. Gordon changed his trousers four
Or five times a day, and always kept
several hundred pairs on hand. He
would order at one time thirty over
coats of all sorts of patterns and styles
so eas to have one available for every
possible occasion. While travelling in
the United States he wrote book of
impressions" in which he devoted a
whole chapter to describing the loss
and recovery Of pair of trousers.
While we wish to emphasize the i'm
portance Of being we'll and fittingly
dressed. we must just as earnestly
condemn overdressing or foolish fop-
perry. When a PERSONS mind runs mad
on dress, as this man Gordon's evil
IDENTIFY did, when he considers the cut
Of his trousers or the hang of his coat
more important than the great issue of
life. he is weak and foolish.
The essential thing is to be so dressed
that we are totally unconscious of any
inferiority or lack of self-respect from
being siouchily, inappropriately or
poorly dressed. We simply should be
so dressed that we will not think about
our appearance at all, because we
know that it is all right, and then we
can concentrate our minds upon what
ever we are doing.

really are. 1t is the children who
suffer. for they absorb unconsciously
the unsavory quality of such efforts to

of his children's; he has never worn
glasses, which is something extra

not very good, but il a person talking
to him will talk a little loud he can
understand what is being said.
Ever since he was a young boy he
has been tobacco smoker and in con-
versing with one of his daughters, the
reporter was told that she thought that
was what kept him alive SO long. On
q warm day, when the sun is shining
brightly, he is able to sit out on the
piazza and take q sun bath, but while
doing so he likes very much to have
his pipe with him. For the past two
years he has been living with his

The following letter from Rev. E. NJ.
Courbis, o. NJ. l., manager of st. Pat

Standard and is worthy the considera-
ton of our readers:
My Dear Friend in ]. c.: The above
words, address to you at this dreary
moment. in the name of our orphap
boys who are again without Il shelter,
On the morning Of February 7th fire
broke out in the building occupied by
the boys. When noticed the disastrous
element was already beyond control
and all that could be done was to con-
centrate the conf1agration in the one
building. In three hours time all was
but pile of ruins. The insurance is
very small, and is far from covering
the heavy losses. Still the home has
to be rebuilt as soon as possible. Who
shall help us to do so? No doubt, dear
friend, you will not suffer the little
ones to remain homeless. More than
once we have called on you-but never
has our distress been greater than to-
day. All is gone, not even a blanket is
left. For the love of Almighty God
help us again to reft the house as
soon as possible. do not ask you to
help us in building a house with ev-
cry possible comfort. No! All want
is a shelter for our children. Help
us to provide them once more with
the necessary objects. You know any,
thing is gratefully accepted.
Thanking you in advance, dear
friend, for every offering your char
liable heart may prompt you to send
to the little ..:.es and assuring you of
our daily prayers, remain,
Yours in Sacred Heart,

Honest Jimmy Aikens That Lived in
| eohermore.
/: The subjoined poem, by Rev. VIM.
o. Ryan, of Colorado. first appeared in
the old Colorado Catholic about ten
years ago, and was afterward repub-
lished in The Pilot.
(The lines were suggested by an adj
, vertisement that had appeared in the
want" column of The Pilot, looking
for next of kin of James Aikens, de-
ceased Mr.. Aikens was known by the
honorable title Honest Jimmie Ak
ems" Bohermore means great or
wide street," at its head is Gallows
hill, where the Parliamentary army
having taken Cashel. hanged many a
brave citizen. Cashel was called, and
was fourteen years ago. the City of
the Kings; the Golden Vale skirts it.
Aengus was prince of Cashel, Il con-
vert of st. Patrick; Cormac, King
Bishop Of MacCullinan, the author of
the famous Saltair Of Cashel, died in
90S in the battle Of Backgammon,
County Kildare.)
You're looking for the kin of him?
You cannot find u skin of 'em?
They're clasped to silent mother
earth the forms knew of yore?
The kindly kin are banished all, the
blood relations vanished all,
OF Honest Jimmie Aikens that lived
in Bohermore.
Now, if twas friends you wanted. for
YOU never need be daunted, 70,
Id send my name and others wou;l
cali on you galore;
Hosts of us are livin' yet, please Gct.
Well meet in heaven yet,
With Honest jim nj. Athens that
lived in Bonermore.
Old times, old ways. old memories to.
night like ghosts before me rise;
My heart is full of tears for things
all pass,i forever more;
I'd give the golden crown of Spain to
be happy boy again,
Where Hone:s Jimmie Aikens lived
ut home in Bohermore.
The old dean lived across the way; It's
weary since he passed the bay
+. That lies between our troubled life
and heavens peaceful shore;
His heart was full OF love for U.S. in all
his ways he strove for us
I think he longs in heaven at times
for pleasant Bohermore.
Oh. sure the breeze from Gallows hill
had power to Danish Jealous i'll,
Twas there our fathers CALAMITY
the curse O. Cromwell bore;
A smile Of God, the sun upon the holy,
ruined Rock it shone,
Near Honest Jimmie Aiken's home
in simple Bohermore.
Below us lay the place of kings-wha:
ancient worth around it clings.
The thought Of blessed Patrick and
the holy news he bore,
The memory Of saint and chie.., OF
Aengus, Cormack-O the grief
To muse on buried glories. twas to
us in Bonermore.
Beyond. the Golden Valley smiled. q
saint of God it we'll had wiled,
So velvet green its swelling meads
so gold its harvest store;
And threading 1t the silver pure. the
winding waters of the SUR,
Oh. we had CLEANS Of Paradise long
ago in Bohermore.
Gods blessing on the Royal Place;
Gods arm around the royal race
The kindly hearts. the noble men
