Walking a Lost Art.

Time was when everybody walked
and thought it no disgrace For. then
walking was only degree slower than
the quickest means of locomotion,
and by that token respectable. But
who thinks of walking now? If you
go into a shoeshor where fifty styles
Of fine footgear are offered. you won't
find a shoe you could walk mile in
without being cripple, and though
you call for the best grade of stock
ings, they are worn through the first
time you put them on if you go afoot.
Nobody who Is anybody is expected to
walk any more. The trolleys and the
devil wagons have made walking in
tolerably slow, and the airships. when
they come, will doubtless abolish it
for good and all. And that is pro-
'gress. The voice which clamors for
stockings that will wear or shoes that
are easy is a voice out Of the past, the
echo of dead traditions.

Church Etiquette.

"Of course. 1t is not a mortal sin
for a lady'-one must always give a
member of the fair sex the benefit Of
the doubt-to dash into the confess
sional before you when you have been
waiting an hour, and you feel that
you are by all rights next It is not
venial sin-perhaps not even an inn
perfection. But if you happen to be
the lady's neighbor who waits. you are
sure that she does mot love you as
herself. Probably. II you could see
her soul you would know that she is
little less than an angel, but you can
only condemn in silence that spiritual
avarice which keeps you waiting a
good twenty inmates after your ti4rn
should have co ne.
"And there are wl1ite-souled folks
who eat onions just before they go
to Mass, and scrupulous persons who
hang in threes and fours in the end
seat of pew and seow when you
are forced to. tread on their toes.
These persons are. as a rule, .pious
Christians; but observing them merely
from, the outside If is hard for you
and me to believe that they really
love US. Perhaps they do. -
IF you have ever got into the
wrong pew by mistake and been
obliged to walk out of it under the
fiery eyes of "a .neighbor, you know
what it is to be really loved" says

"oUR MARY" IN IRELAND.
What Americas Famous CathoIi
Actress Is Doina for Irish Girls.

The wild and rugged scenery Of the
west Of Ireland has peculiar attrac-
tions for Mrs Navarro, so well re-
membered in America as the brilliant
actress, Mary Anderson.
Summer or winter. when she feels
she needs rest, she goes to a. secluded
spot in the mountainous regions. Her
pleasure appears to consist in visit
ing the peasant homes among the
lakes and mountain Sides talking with
the simple people and dispensing char
ity where she thinks it is needed
For years she has been visiting the
Connemara district, and with the ex-
ception of the women in one of the
local converts, no one has been able
to establish her identity She has
been described as "the beautiful Eng
lish lady who gives to the poor" Her
friends in the convent have kept the
secret faithfully
For months building has been in
process of construction on the ruins
Of an old cabin from which the occu-
pants were evicted year ago. 1t is
almost beneath the shadow of the con-
vent. Local gossip has been busy as
to the object for which the new
building is intended.
It is now announced that it is to be
school where young girls will he
taught the rudiments of housework to
At them for domestic service when
they are obliged to leave their own
homes for foreign lands. While the
building ostensibly is being put up by
the nuns. Mary Anderson is the donor
and she has also endowed it so that ii
may be free from financial embarrass-
ments.

sents. 1t lis undoubtedly true that
such a union and contact is not or
was not the case in France, and 1t is
due to this fact that we must ascribe
the very sad condition in which we
find the church in France.
II believe that the organization Of
the Knights Of Columbus have duty
and an office to perform in this i'm
portant regard. and that if we do not
misunderstood the spirit by which 1t
is animated, believe that one Of the
great results that they are helping to
accomplish is precisely to keep up.
strengthen and increase this union be-
tween the clergy and the laity
Another very important question Of
the day-one which you Knights Of
Columbus and Catholic laymen gener-
ally have duty to PERFORMS the
question of So -called Civic Virtue.
This concerns the attitude of the citi-
zen towards the government. the
government towards the citizen-the
duties Of the citizen to the govern
ment and accordingly the duties Of
the government toward the citizen.
When they talk of politics. speak of
public office, speak of elections. speak
of the rights of the voter, speak of
the sanctity of the ballot--why. these
are all moral questions. They are all
covered clearly by the teachings of
the Church. If people would simply
follow these teachings, there would be
no grand juries required to try cases
OF graft and other things of this kind.
The duty of the Catholic laymen in
this respect is. first of all. to make
himself properly acquainted with the
nature of the question; secondly. to
make himself acquainted with the
principles of the Catholic religion
which apply in the solution Of the
question. Now this is beautiful field
for councils Of the knights of Colum-
, bus. If they will take up such ques-
tions in their meetings. and have some
of their members study out these
questions. discuss them at such meet
ings. they will be properly posted as
to what principles of Catholic religion
cover the question. This will enable
your members to go out and spread
these principles among their friends
and thus help to form a correct public
opinion. ...

owing to the small prices offered for
their stock and produce they will find
it hard or impossible to pay their rents
this term. If the government attempts
to use compulsion there will be a no
rent campaign that will be widespread
and will create extra alarm in Eng
land. since it will hit the exchequer.
The delegates from the United Irish
League of America have gone home,
having made a tour of the country,
and l was informed in the West that
they admitted that the money sent
over had been well spent. They must
have found a great change in the peo-
pie so far as organization is con-
cerned.
For some years past the league was
dragging out dying existence and
the people fell in with the physical
force party in the country-a party
that believes that leagues mainly bene-
fit the storekeepers who generally boss
the branches. Then the Sim Feinn
party grew up and is gathering i'm
mensely in strength.
The object of this party is to push
the Parliamentary party aside. to boy
colt everything English and rely upon
eve ourselves" as the term Sim Feinn
indicates. The Gaelic League, too has
become a body to be seriously reckoned
with. and it is also more or less against
the constitutional methods" advocat-
ed by the Parliamentarians.
Meantime the anti-grazing war i.
being carried on with a determination
that has been absent from the Irish
political spirit since the days of the
Parnell split. The people so far have
been the winners.
Prosecutions brought by the police
have been expensive, worrying and fu-
tile, and the Irish government are al
their wits end. If they do not use
coercive methods the people will be
triumphant all along the line: if they
do make full use Of their legal n7achin-
cry issue will be fully Joined between
themselves and the people. and the
whole west and south will be in al
uproar.

HIS KINDLY TRIBUTE.
Archbishop Messnner on the Knights Of
Columbus.

Archbishop Messner on the Knights Of
Columbus.
Archbishop Messmer Of Milwaukee
recently delivered an address before
the Knights Of Columbus in Milwau-
kee. In the course of his remarks he
said:
II am not a member Of the knights,
and for the present I did not intend
to become a member. but ! must say
that l have the highest regard for the
organization. l am convinced that
it is one of the foremost Catholic or
ganizations here in the United States,
and I am certain that 1t will accom-
plish great good for the Church
Of God here in our land. There is,
so far as I have been able to see or
to understand, loyal Catholic spirit
among them. and as long as they
keep up that spirit the organization
will flourish and the Organization will
accomplish great good. Just as. on
the other hand, the very moment that
other influences are allowed to come
within the precincts Of the knights
Of Columbus the good they otherwise
would have accomplished will vanish.
The knights Of Columbus have a
magnificent duty to perform. ~...
Il believe 1t is one of the beautiful
features Of life here in America that
bishops and priests and people are
more united in personal union and
personal contact than we find them
in any other country in the world. 1t
is Of very great Importance. one can
understand. The closer the contact
is, the closer union between the large
body Of the faithful in the Church
and those who are appointed to gov
ern the Church, so much greater must
be the good that will be accomplished
and so much stronger or greater must

WHERE is COLUMBUS BURIED?
What the Minister to Santo Domingo
Says in Answer.


On October -. 415 years ago. the
greatest event in history occurred
Seventeen adventurous strangers set
foot on new world. Four hundred
and one years ago gray and broken
man lay dying at Valladolid Spain
was in flower 1t was May Habited
Is Franciscan Friar. the premature
y weary invalid, aided by the simple
monastery folk, drew. up his will
wherein an eldest son was deputed to
employ, as soon as the pitifully sparse
estate admitted, three chaplains to
say Masses for his repose. and for this
purpose to erect chapel on the island
of Santo Domingo. The next day Co.
lumbus died. That was May 20, 1906
Where is he buried?
That there should be any hesitancy
in answering is most curious and
extraordinary indictment of history
writes Thomas c. Dawson. United
States minister to santo Domingo
Generations of experts in archaeology
and calligraphy have supposed that
all that remains OF the great discov-
erer was removed from the Cathedral
of Santo Domingo in Havana in 1895
or 254 years after the ashes were
transported from Spain to Santo
Domingo, in accordance with the will
Nothing could be more foreign to the
fact
What really was borne to Havana
were the ashes Of his eldest son, that
is to say, in all probability, since there
were no distinguishing marks or in.
scriptions to substantiate even that
theory conclusively
AS for those of Christopher Colum.
bus, however, there can be no ques.
tion that they still rest in the gray
little Dominican city where they were
sealed and deposited between the
years 1541 and 1914 Of the Juliar
calendar.

sentiment and curiosity and then by
doubt as to the truth Of tradition. con.
