WILL LECTURE MARCH s
Rev. RI. Daily Will Appear in this
City on that Evening.

The Catholic Order of Foresters
have fortunately secured Rev. FIR.
DAILY for one of his famous lectures at
the Opera House in this city on the
evening of March 5th.
Fir. DAILY will probably choose one
of the subjects for his lecture in this
city. 'The homeless Child and The
Juvenile Court" "The American
Citizen, or 1.-THE Portion of Labor"
Either one of these are already famous,
and Grand Rapids people will be
afforded treat on that night.
Rev. John Daily, whose gifts of
oratory have delighted thousands
| throughout the United States, has
devoted himself entirely to the care
and education of homeless and
neglected children. In this particular
field he has won a high place among
the leaders in Juvenile Court work.
His experience and advice are
eagerly sought by social workers. his
generous sacrifice of his life and earn
ings to homeless children has endeared
him to all who love the poor and
down-trodden. The brilliant play of
wit in his lectures, with the stories
illuminate the tears brought forth by
the pathos of scenes described from
life.
Besides being the State Lecturer of
the Federated Catholic Societies,
Father DAILY is a member of the
Knights of Columbus, Ancient Order
of Hibernians, Catholic Order of
Foresters, Knights of Wisconsin,
Childrens' Betterment League.
Moved with pity to the homeless
children-who are not victims but un-
fortunate-a number of Milwaukee
gentlemen formed the "Home Find
ing Society,"" When, at length, in
November, 1905, a home was pur-
chased in which to train and teach
these boys, the great difficulty en-
countered was to find a man, able and
willing, for the arduous position of
Rector
When invited, Father DAILY, with
out moments hesitation, resigned a
brilliant position and happy home at
the Cathedral of Milwaukee, where
he was the idol of the parish. His
heart and soul are with the boys; for
them he seeks in the alleys and novels,
for them he attends the Juvenile
Court, TO them he has devoted his
talents and his life.
The home is located at Twenty
| fifth Avenue and South Pierce Street,
in Milwaukee. There five Franciscan
, sisters train and teach these children
till homes or employment is found
So beautiful is the discipline and
spirit of the House that the seyerest
! threat ever used towards these waits
is to send them away.

this is not the scheduled time for the
run. we had some trifing accidents,
such as, the cars leaving the rails,
and cattle being on the tracks mostly
of the latter, although the engineer
being careful, managed to clear
several head, and lay them to rest
along the right of way, and while
doing this we were losing time.
An engineer. in sold Mexico as we
sometimes call it, has to be very
careful, for if he kills any cattle and
is found out, he is very likely to loose
his position, and most times serve
some time for it.
On the morning of the twenty-first
at one thirty, was in Chihuahua, a
small mining town with about one
hundred and fifty inhabitants, nearly
all Mexicans save six Americans, and
they were from Texas. l found
shelter for the night, and gave way
to good deep slumber, as [ was very
tired after journeying Tor several
days.
The next afternoon, [ started for
Conchenia which is Seventy-elght
miles over the mountains, there is no
railroad leading to that point, so had
to ride burrow, but must say that L
had an enjoyable time crossing the
hills, the journey lasted two days,
and then | was in the mining camps.
These camps were situated in a
large ravine which made it very
pleasant. There was fine, cool stream
of water flowing from the mountain
side, finer water | never had drunk
before or after. | stayed in that place
for about six months, the climate was
very Interchangeable SO much SO when
you would get up in the morning and
see the sunshine and not cloud to
be seen, but in few hours it would
begin to rain or snow, and sometimes
both, SO decided to come back to
Gods country which [ did. When |
came back / went to FIT. Worth, Texas
and found a position there in the
bottling department of the Texas
Brewing Co. | held that position for
seven months, until one day [ caught
the army fever and enlisted in the
coast artilliary which is fine branch
of service and like it very well.
From Eft. Worth [ was sent to Fit.
Morgan, Ala, but was driven out of
that place by typhon on The
twenty-sixth of September, so the s
and 80 companies which were stat
Toned at Morgan had to come to Fit.
.oultrie, S. c., fol quarter the first of
April, the Sth Co. will go to Ft. Preble,
Maine, and the Goth will go back to
Morgan. This post is fine place and
has nice situation, but never the
less | am positive that / will enjoy
the north much better and am longing
for the first day of April to come.

blown so must close, wishing you a
