Catholics and the Yellow Press.

Catholic papers complain that some
thing is radically wrong in the attitude
of Catholics toward the Catholic press
in the United States" The Catholic
Tribune Dubuque, 1a) asserts that
both itself and other Catholic papers
are doing their best to exc out an
honorable existence in the face of the
disgrace that the foreign-b born element
speaking other languages than The
English, have Catholic daily news
papers, while the. numerically much
greater body of English speaking Cath
olic Americans take their food from
the hand of non-Catholic and frequent
ly anti Catholic publishers of daily
newspapers" In an endeavor to find
the specific reason for this pitiable
state of affairs" The Tribune quotes
from The Catholic, Fortnightly Review
(St. Louise what it calls IAN illustra-
ton of our press-m isere" that. it be-
lieves. sheds much light on the causes
underlying the recent disgraceful
status of AFFAIRS. The quotation is as
follows:
The Chicago Examiner and Ameri-

for three trips to Palestine, three to
Europe. five to Cuba, five to Mexico
five to California, etc. in which most
of the winners, as announced in that
papers edition of March 3, were Cath.
Ollie priests.
The clergyman, heading the list
Rev. Francis Gordon. c. R., received
no less than 1,132.534 votes. The Sec

Wolves and Foxes in the West.

from the Kansas City Star
 Some Lamar fox hunters were discuss ing the prevalence of wolves and the de- crease in the number O. foxes thereabout This they explained easily.
 In the first place, the wolf is strong. hardy and a great breeder. wolf will begin to rear puppies when she Is a year old. and there are from nine to twelve in a litter. Usually every puppy in the litter lives to be a full-grown wolf Thus the coyote as well as his large and more powerful gray or black brethren multi plies very rapidly
 Then the wolf is not chased with the zest and eagerness with which the sports men go after Sir Reynard. The ordinary fox dog won't go against a wolf when he is at bay and further. hounds that ge. into the habit of chasing wolves cannot tell the trail of their quarry from that of a shepherd dog. The result is that every hounds that are trained to hunt wolves. They are always cornering an innocent farm dog and putting him to death, think Ing that they have run on to an easily vanquished wolf.
 "A fox" declared Mir. Timmonds, "on the other hand is one of the most deli cate animals in the world. In the first place, he can't fight. The very moment a dog catches him he gives up and allows himself to be killed. The mortality among the puppies Is usually as much as 50 per cent. Sir Reynards only defense is his well-known slyness and intelli- gence"

The TrAaedy of the Waters.

From the Los Angeles Times
 "Fish never die natural death, said an old fisherman, who has ob served as he fished. eff they did bodies of dead fish would be floating on the surface of the water all the while, because such bodies, if unmo- tested. would have to float.
 If fish in their native element were never molested I believe they would never die. If they had sufficient food which would be impossible if they nc longer preyed on one another, there would be no reason for their dying. Il was to prevent such uninterrupted ten ure of life that all fish were made flercely predatory. if not remorselessly cannibalistic, as many kinds are.
 "A fsh's life Is q constantly strenu ous one and one entirely selfish A fish lives only to eat and to avoid be ing eaten"
