She Was a Bit BashfuI,

Mr.. Peet, very diffident man, was
unable to prevent himself being intro
duced one evening to fascinating
young lady, who, misunderstanding his
name, constantly addressed him as Mr.
Peters, much to the gentleman's dis
tress. Finally summoning up the cour-
age, he earnestly demonstrated: ooh,
don't call me Peters. Call me Peetv'
"Ah, but l don't know you well
enough, Mr.. Peters," said the young
lady, blushing, as she withdrew be-
hind her fan.-London Telegraph.

A couple Of weeks ago much cere-
mony was made over the meeting Of
Secretary Taft and Senator Foraker
at Toledo. The exact words Of each
Of these distinguished members of the
Republican party, used in the greet
ing. were published for public con-
sumption. Much was said as to
whether this one or that one had the
credit Of bringing about harmony.
Some claimed that Secretary Taft
surrendered, and others that Senator
Foraker did the CASTOR and Alphonse
act. The same people are now en-
gagged in finding out whether Taft
forced Foraker out Of the Republican
campaign or whether Foraker volun-
tarily retired. and everybody is trying
to find someone on whom to lay the
blame Of bringing about harmony.
Two weeks ago we were told that
Foraker's support Of Taft absolutely
insured Ohio to the Republicans. Now
we are informed by the same sources
that the downfall Of Foraker and his
withdrawal from the Taft campaign
has helped Taft in Ohio. Is there any.
thing imaginable which could happen
which would hurt Taft in Ohio.

Champion Moan Man Found.

The champion mean man has been
discovered in Belfast. He is Thomas

days ago he was summoned by his
wife for assaulting her His wife stat.
ed that he had never allowed her more
than IS cents a week for her food. He
bought his own food and cooked it
himself. He kept his sugar in a COW
cred bowl. and every day he placed d

he might know by the fy's escape Il
his wife lifted the cover during his alb
sence and helped herself to his sugar
He also measured his loaf with a rule
before leaving home and on his return
every day. to see IL his wife had taken
slice. The assault which she COM
planned Of was because he found his
loaf an eighth Of an inch short on his
return from work. The magistrates
ordered Spence to provide proper food
for his wife and made him give sure

A Haunted House in Mayo.

A remarkable occurrence is reported
here from Ballyheane. a village about
four miles distant. It appears that an
old man. who died about three weeks
ago. by his will. left his land and his
house to a neighboring family named
McEvilly. who were distant relations
Of his. and he gave them a special in
junction that he was to be buried with
his father in the local cemetery. How
ever. the people were doubtful as to
the exact whereabouts Of the grave
mentioned. and they opened one which
they thought was most likely to be the
one referred to by the old man. Some
few nights afterward one Of the family
went down to the house to take up his
abode there, but he cou4 get no rest,

Roosevelt the partisan is prevailing
over Roosevelt the man. In his letter
urging the election of a Republican
House, he calls attention to the good
legislation of the last seven years, but
fails to mention the good measures
which have fallen by the wayside, and
also fails to mention the part which
the Democratic members of the House
took in upholding his hands. The
support accorded to Roosevelt in the
lower House of Congress by Demo-
Gratis was voluntary while much Of the
support from the Republican side was
secured through liberal use Of the
big stick" It isn't many weeks
since the President was writing de-
mandatory messages to Congress,
condemning it's "do-nothing" policy.
The stress Of political campaign and
his solicitude for the success Of his
friend Mr.. Taft have forced the Presi-
dent into the attitude of an extreme
partisan.

Congressman Bede said in an inter-
view: When next see Speaker
Cannon, shall have to demand that
he reimburse the filing fee that I paid
to run for denomination to Congress
In this district. I paid the filing fee
md he ran. That was not fair. Be-
sides. he had no right to try for Con-
gress outside of his own state. 1t is
unconstitutional"
There are men who secured the
nomination who will learn after the
election that Cannon was running in
their districts also. The blight of
Cannon is upon almost every Repub-
lican Congressman running for re-
election. and many Of them will learn
that even the Republican party and its
insolent leaders cannot forever dis
regard public sentiment.

terview with a representative of an
English paper. is not a very 'satisfac-
tory development of modern civiliza

distinguished Jesuit, "by sex prob
lem which can never be rightly solved
until men become more manly. and
women become more womanly. At tho
present moment it seems to me that
the modern man is rapidly growing
feminine, while the modern woman is
trying to be masculine. Your typical
modern woman apes everything man.
nish, she wants. to dress like a man,
stalk about and lounge like man,
smoke and drink Ikea man, talk and
swear like a man, and generally to
bear herself not like refined lady but
like an unrefined mans I am talking"
the Father continued. "of the modern
woman who screams from the top Of a
cart that she will have her rights.
and who mauls policemen like wild

The Giving Of Medicine.

A few rules to be remembered. in
giving medicine are:
I. Always give exactly what the
doctor orders. neither more nor less.
2. Always give medicine on time
II dose is due at twelve, give 1t at
twelve and not at half past.
8. Medicines intended to be taken
before meals should be given twenty
minutes before meal-time. those to be
taken after eating, twenty minutes af-
ter the meal is finished.
1. Never give medicine without
reading the label on the bottle twics;
before and again after pouring it out.
S. When pouring medicine always
hold the label on the upper side, to
avoid defacing it.
6. Do not use spoons for measuring,
for they are never accurate; small
graduated glasses, which are infinitely
better, can be bought at any drug store
for about ten cents.
Z. When pouring. hold the mark Of
the quantity you require on a level
with your eye.

by carriage. No one seemed to
know what to do. But young Cooper
had been compelled to handle tools at
home. to make the things he could not
buy. and he was equal to the occasion.
for he had developed skill. He took
his handkerchief and stopped the flow
of blood by pressure above the boys

of his famous career. Every now AMI

The Girl AK. ouastion..

There is no better way to find out
about things We do not really under
stand. says an exchange. than to ask
questions Of those who are wiser than
ourselves. But the girl of whom we
are going to tell you asks another kind
of questions, and about things she has
no need to know.
How much did your dress cost a
yard?" she asks her neighbor. Mamie,
when she comes to school some morn
ing in a pretty new frock. Instead of
answering. Nannie's face grows red,
for the new dress is made over from
some things that belonged to cousin
in another city. Before Mamie can
make up her mind what to say to that
first question. others come thick and
fast: Where did your mamma buy
it," well, if she didn't buy it. who
did?'.
This girl who asks questions never
stops till she gets to the bottom Of a
matter. It never seems to enter her
head that people may not care to tell
her everything she wishes to know.
When she learns that Mollie Lees
aunt has come to live at her house.
she cannot rest until she has asked
Mile whether her aunt is nice, and
why she doesn't have a home Of her
cwn, and as many qestions as Mollie
will listen to.
The worst thing about this girl is
not her questions, although they are
neither courteous nor kind. but the
curiosity that makes her ask them.
With all the wonderful and beauti-
full things there are to know in this
world of ours. she is interested only
to find out little. foolish facts about
her neighbors. Isn't it a pity?

Methodist ministers throughout the
country are holding conferences and
organizing for the purpose of defeat
ing Speaker Cannon. We do not have
to guess what the effect would be IL
Catholic priests should thus engage in
politics. A cry would go up all over
the land that the Catholic Church was
in politics. A few years ago, when
the Catholic Federated Societies was
organized. the charge was made that
it was for political effect. We have
no use for Cannon, and hope that he
may be defeated, but it will be pretty
hard for the Methodist Church to ex-
plain away the fact that it is in poll
tics.

Resolved. That the Catholic Press
Association invites all Catholic socfe-

patronage Of their members to bust
ness men who advertise in Catholic

Resolved. That 1t is the right Of the
Catholic press to be the first to get
strictly Catholic news, and this partic-
ularly from the hierarchy and clergy.
Resolved, That we express our con-
viction that the Catholic press is the
very best kind Of an advertising me-
dunn. We also protest against the
discrimination practiced by many lines
Of business against the Catholic press,
and hereby declare our determination
to resent in every legitimate way a
continuance Of such discrimination.
Resolved, That we remind the Cath
Ollie people that the Holy Father and
fathers Of the Council Of Baltimore,
and the clergy in general. have spoken
Of the necessity Of the Catholic news
paper in the Catholic family and az a
continuous mission in the parish. In
harmony with these declarations we
respectfully appeal to the hierarchy
and clergy to take steps to make these
sentiments practically effective.
Resolved. That the American Cath
Ollie Press Association encourage Cath
