The estimates of the weeks cur

something like $1,000, 600 on balance

accepted as reflection of unreviFed

GOING HOME,

(By Edith Miniter)
I'd like TO be in old Glendale,
That most forgotten town;
I want to stand on Hunting hill
And watch the sun go down:
Then, where the sweet fern filings its
scent
To cross the cressy brook.
And go and see my fathers house,
Just as il used TO look.
While yet its "early candlelght,"
I'll be a-bed and still
To lie and think what Katy did.
And why they Whip Poor VIII:
And when a bltAndering bat mistakes
My window for his track.
To holler down the stove hole, Ma"
And hear her answer back.
Of course I'll get up with the sun,
And wash me at the spout
And help TO carry in the milk,
And turn the cattle out:
Then eat some griddle-cakes. and grab
The dinner pail once mine.
And get my schooling as / used,
In District Number Nine.
I'm going back to old Glendale,
That long-remembered town.
Though Hunting Hill has been cut off
And fathers house burned down;
One messy dell amongst the fern
A welcome holds for me,
Tn going to find my boyhood dreams
Just where they used to be.

THEIRIsH PRIESTHOOD.
w. E. Curtis, the Newspaper Core
sPondent, Writes in Praise of Ii.

In the series of letters on Ireland
which he has been contributing TO the
Chicago Record-Herald, William Z.
Curtis, the American newspaper cor
respondent, writes tingly
of the Irish priesthood:
I have formed a very high opinion
of the Irish priesthood from the ex-
amples | have been able to meet and
TO know. They have impressed me
as an unusually high class Of men in
tellectually as well as spiritually, and
every one must admire their devotion.
their sincerity and their self-sacrifice.
Some of them naturally become die
tatorial, for it is often necessary for
them to assume an air of authority
TO preserve the discipline in their par
isles, but 1 think that is more or less
the rule in other countries and in all
denominations. You can't talk back
to a judge or a school teacher or a
parson. And that is undoubtedly the
ground for the charge SO frequently
made that Ireland is priest ridden
But the average of intelligence, cuI-
ture and efficiency among the Irish
priesthood is probably higher than it
is in any other country. and their in
f7uence is correspondingly greater.
There is a great deal Of criticism
about the activity of the Irish priests
in politics, and that 1 find to be large
ly misrepresentation. Many of the
priests do take an active part in po-
litical affairs but it is entirely a mat
ter of individual taste and inclina-
ton, and the proportion is probably no
larger than it is among the ministers
of all denominations in the United
States. Those who are we'll posted on
this subject assure me that about one
third Of the total number of Catholic
priests habitually interest themselves
IN political affairs, local as well as ma
tional: still larger number take ac-
tive part in educational matters, and
about one-half of them let politics en-
tirely alone. This is probably a fair
estimate and will apply to the clergy
of the church Of Ireland protestant
EpiscopaD and the non -conformiSt de-
nominations with equal accuracy, al
though they are much less numerous
than the Roman Catholic clergy"
