sympathy N their patriotic struggles
as these, yet what did it avail in the
end? 1t did not save a single house
hold or a single patriots life. The
most melancholy fact in Ireland's mis-
cradle story is the incurable tendency
of the leaders to quarrel With all
their professions of self sacrificing
zeal, hardly one of these able men
seems to be capable of effacing him
self when he is no longer regarded as
indispensable to the national cause.
The situation is certainly serious. 1t
demands the attention of the friends OF
Ireland here, and by taking it UP in
time much mischief may be averted.
Although the Sim Fein men make
much noise, the evidence so far proves
that there is little behind it. A meet
ing was arranged to be held in the
Phoenix Park, in Dublin, last Sunday,
to advocate the Sim Fein policy. 1t
was attended by only five hundred per-
sons, although the park was crowded
with Sunday visitors. At a meeting Of
the executive committee of the Irish
league at characterization, the center
of Charles ]. Dolan's constituency,
Mr.. Dolan's action in joining the Sim
Fein society was condemned. and re-
solutions were adopted calling upon
him to resign his seat in parliament. |
The prospects of the Sim Feiners car
rying any constituency except Sir 7. !
Esmonde' in North Wexford, are re-
mote.
The pretense of the Sim Fell fac
tionists that parliamentary action is |
incapable of accomplishing any SUBJ |
stantive good for Ireland is audacious |
in its ignoring of facts. Parliamentary |
action got a home rule bill twice sent |
up to the house of lords: it Won
of the land; it won de-
cent homes for Irish laborers VINO had
never before dwelt in any place better
than a pigsty. 1t won good many
things besides these. and it is destined
to win many more if not crippled AMI
thwarted by factiOnists, Sim Fein men
and self-concsiouS men who, believing
themselves to be born to lead, are in
capable of ruling their own tempers.
The worst curse that can be uttered in
ireland is the curse of Cromwell on

Cromwell a possibility, and history
may repeat itself if the country do not

concerning the course in tree culture
given at the Hatch experiment station
OF the Massachusetts Agricultural col
lese, Amherst, Mass:
AT the present time we have seven
senior students who are taking work
IN a course which 1 term the 'Ptysiol-
ogy and Pathology of Shade Trees.
So far as L know, this is the only
course given in this country or any
where else, and we are turning out
quite few young men who are espe-
cially trained to fill intelligently such
positions as city foresters or helpers in
parks.
Many of our young men at the pres
ent time have established firms for the
cars of trees, and all of them are meet
ing with remarkable success, some of
them employing as many as 200 men.

which taught her what st. Paul prob

the family was about to move tut of

What Converted Him.

A Catholic Irishman formerly a
ProtestanD, Sir Henry Bellingham of
Castlebellingham, County Louth, who
has revived the good old Catholic Gus
tom of setting crosses on the waysides,
gives an interesting account of how he
was converted to the ancient church.
The personal example and simple
faith of the Irish pcor,' he says,
were the first things that impressed
me. l compared it favorably with the
class of Protestants in Ireland amongst
whom 1 mixed. and whose doctrines
consisted more in hatred of Rome than
in any definite belief The language
they used first irritated and disguised
me. and predisposed me to make en-
uuiries."

Missionaries and Wild Beasts.

1t has long been a kind of tradition
that our Catholic missionaries are
never slain by snakes or wild beasts
Father Dickmann of the Madras mis-
sions tells us that he has been fire.
quently asked this question by his
friends in Europe, and his answer is:
I have never heard of missionaries
being killed directly by wild beasts.
but certainly of their being so killed
indirectly; i. e., they have fallen sick
through terror inspired by meeting
wild beast or even have gone out of
their minds and died in consequence.
Father Diclmann's evidence seems
to bear out that of a veteran mission
airy of Malaysia, Father Perie. whose
thrilling story Of Father Comedians
terrible meeting with Royal Bengal
tiger and its tragic consequences is as
follows:
so thickly was the Malay peninsula
inhabited by these monsters that in the
early days of colonization their victims
in Singapore average 800 yearly. The
natives were accustomed to destroy
them by means of a pit dug on their
paths, covered with branches on which
they fell. This last accessory, how
ever the government had to forbid as
dangerous to human beings after the
tragical death of a missionary who
was impaled by falling on one, and
only survived long enough to receive
the sacramonts.
Father Comedian went one Satur-
day to pass the night at an English !

ty yards. He had been walking for
some time in this labyrinth of alleys,
when at twenty PAGES distance he saw
an enormous tiger advancing toward
him. Without losing his presence of
mind he ran to meet the brute, OPEN
ing and shutting his umbrella. The
brute, taken by surprise and intimi-
dated, retreated and lay in wait for
the father at the next alley. He re-
peated the same maneuver, and the
tiger fell back, but with a terrible
glare of his eye, for he was hungry.
Five times the missionary had to
adopt the same tactics and five times
the tiger fell back before the startling
object but without desisting from his
attack. The father had reached a
stream traversing the plantation, with
a tree growing on its bank. To climb |

A Rare Jewel.
(MeSsenger.l

Consistency is a jewel Rev. Father
Vaughn showed its absence among
those non-Catholics who proclaim so
loudly that one religion is as good as
another and yet become mad with fury
when they hear of anyone near and
dear to them beng received into the
Catholic church. Like Frederick, King
of Prussia, they say to such a one: IT
cannot respect the man who has aban-
doned the religion of his fathers" But
the convert could reply with Stolberg:
Nor indeed can 1; for if my ancestors
had not abandoned the religion of their
fathers they would not have put me to
the necessity of returning to it."

God and, Their Conscience.

The Episcopal rector of Grace church
of Albany has felt himself called on to
announce and explain the conversion of
his sister to the Catholic faith. and in
doing so he assures his friends and the
public at large that the lady took that
step without consulting him or her
other brother. the rector of Christ
church, Cooperstown. We can assure
the two disclaiming brother that if
they ever choose to follow her exam
pie they will be privileged to do it
without consulting her. When people
become Catholics they usually consult
no one but God and their conscience.

OBJECT TO
 INTERURBAN

 A number~of men who own propN erty on Arkansas avenue are op- posing the building of the proposed
 Pine Bluff interurban road on that street. They base their objections upon the argument that the propos- ed line will not be limited to elec- trio cars and passenger traffic, but ~that regular freight trains~wf1l be run over the road and steam mo- tive power used. If this proved to
 be the case the property on Arkan- sas avenue would greatly deteiorate in value, according to the men who are making the objections. No oD- ection would be made if the road were built along the river bank just south of the avenue and it is pOssi- ble that the matter may be settled in that way, although the company which is planning to o>build the line has made no offer of any of the property as yet.-Argepta Cores pondent to the Little Rock Gazette.

Cassville, Mo-, Sept, 10.-Barry county has prisoner confined in her jail, who, it is alleged, has figur ed as one of the principals in three matrimonial ventures-in Arkansas, Missouri and Indian Territory, and all wives are living.
 Dr. L. A. Harris is a highly edu- cated and successful physician. Wherever he has settled his prac- tice has been eminently successful, owing to his powers as a diagnosti- clan. At Fort Touson, l.

FIRE LEAVES
 TOWN IN DARK
Plant of Magnolia Ice and Electric Company Goes Up in Flames,
 Entailing a Loss of $9O,OOO.

Magnolia, Sept. 1O.-The Magnolia
 Ice and Electric Light Company s plant burned to the ground here yes terday morning about 3 o'clock, entail- ipg a loss of $2O,OOO The building was insured for $10 00O Before the fire could be controlled the mill of the Carter Slave Company burned. The loss to the latter, amounting to $1,5O0, was total.
 AS result of the fire the electric light system of Magnolia is wrecked and the town last night was in dark ness. The stave factory will be re- built at once. What will be done toward the rebuilding of the ice and electric light plant is not known at this time.
 How the fire started is a mystery When it was discovered a small blaze was coming through the roof. Before the citizens could be aroused the plant was mass of flames and there was nothing to be done except to protect other buildings in the vicinity. There is no paid fire department here and the fire was fought with buckets in the hands of volunteers.
 There was some ice stored at the plant, but just how many tons is not known.
