THE BAD BOY AND sTANDAR D OIL.

When a boy more less a bad boy starts out
on an excursion to some neighboring melon patch
or orchard he figures pretty closely on the chances
of being caught. If he makes away with a big,

he is very repentant. That seems to be human
nature.

A HUGE JOKE.

Mrs. Maitland Alexander, whose husband Is
pastor of the First Presbyterian church in Pitts
burg, the most fashionable in that city, has been
practically ostracised by her social circle because
she rode man-fashion at horse shoe recently. She
and her husband are wealthy, but members of the
congregation have waited upon the reverend gen
tleman and intimaed that their combined fortunes
do not justify his wife in violating congregational
proprieties The Alexanders are inclined to look
upon the whole affair as huge joke And why
not. What right have those precentors, vergers
deacons and elders to intrude upon the Alexanders
and their opinions of the propriety of her conduct
at horse show Out upon the narrow-minded
bigots of the First Presbyterian church of Pitts
burg to express their disapproval of the lady's
equestrian accomplishments What, after all was
it but artistic posing in action; distinct renais-
sance of the lost art of female mastership in the
hippodrome. The public exhibition of Mrs Alex
ander riding la closepin was but finished dem
onstration of the classic beauty of the female form
when rising to the hurdles she gracefully topped the
bars and displayed the charming snuosity of
adys body clothed in perfectly fitted tailor-made
suit. Her riding. we are told, was an inspiration.

In the brightness and warmth of the great pa

RT. REV. GEORGE MONTGOMERY.

Francisco, plunges the church twice within year
in deep mourning in San Francisco The material
edfces destroyed by the earthquake be rebuilt,
but how supply the spiritual loss sustained in the
death of its amable sanity and prudent young
Archbishop.
Most Rev. George Montgomery was native of
Kentucky, studied in st. Mary's seminary, where ne
ordained. Soon after his arrival in San Fran
cisco he selected by Archbishop Aemany as
his private secretary. In this position he won the
esteem and good will of the clergy and laty of the
Archdiocese. In 1894, whilst yet young man. be-
cause of his prudence zeal and ability he chos
en- as coadjutor Bishop to Rt. Rev. Francis Mora,
then Bishop of Monterey and Los Angeles Two
years later 1896, Bishop Mora resigned and Bishop
Montgomery succeeded to that ancient of Cal
ifornia.
When Archbishop Riordan Of San Francisco
felt the weight of years falling on his shoulders
and his responsibilities becoming greater and
extensive he asked for coadjutor to aid him in his
arduous labors His first choice was the young
Bishop of Los Angeles, whom he had known SO long
and so well. In 1903 Rt Rev. George Montgomery
was appointed coadjutor Archbishop of San Fran
cisco During the years of his episcopacy in Los
Angeles and San Francisco he was an earnest sin
cere and faithful worker. ITe was prudent and
kind. His charity was known only to those who
needed helping hand = Helwts of various
parts, al of which blended together in making an
ideal Bishop of the Catholic Church Learning,
business qualifications, lecturer and broad, SYM
pathetic heart won for him the esteem and good
will of all men. He will be missed by all his flock
but most of all, and above all, by Most Rev Arch
bishop Riordan. who looked upon him as staff to
lean on in his declining years. r. l. P.
