Put Up the Sword.

l have sung of the soldiers glory
AS 1 never shall sing again;
1 have gazed on the shambles CORY,
1 have smelled of the slaughter pen.
There is blood in the ink well clotted.
There are stains on the laurel leaf,
And the pages of fame are blotted
With the tears of a needless grief.
The bird is slaughtered for fashion,
And the beast is killed for sport:
And never the word compassion
Is whispered at Moloch's court.
For the parent seal in the water
Is slain, and her child must die.
That some sister or wife or daughter
Her beauty may beautify.
And the merciful thought we smother,
For such is the way of man,
AS we murder the useless mother
For the unborn astrakan.
But season of rest comes never
For the rarest sport of ALL
Will His patience endure forever.
Who notch the sparrOw's fall?
When the volleys of he'll are sweeping
The sea and the battle plain,
Do you think that our God is sleep
ing
And never to wake again?
When hunger and ravenous fever
Are Staying the wasted frame.
Shall we worship the real deceiver,
The devil that men call Fame?
We may swing the censor to cover
The odor of blOOd-in vain
God asks US, over and over,
Where is thy brother, Cain?"

Catholic Ireland

Before England was born I'm to the
family Of nations, Ireland was an au-
tonomy recognized as such by con-
temporary races. When Albion was
inhabited by a barbarous and savage
people, Ireland was in the height
Of prosperity. When the Anglo-Sax-
ons were tearing each other to pieces.
ireland was possessed of a settled
government and was administered bv
wise laws. 50 ancient that no one
knows precisely the period Of their
first PRONUNCIATION. When st. Angus
tine was preaching to the heather.
when Ethelbert was receiving bap-
tism. when Alfred was a wanderer.
Ireland was sending forth her mis-
sionaries all over the wrold. spread
ing everywhere the gospel Of civiliza-
ton. When the foundations OF the
Universities of Cambridge and OK
ford were laid the Colleges of Ireland
had long been flourishing seats Of
learning. imparting to all who came
to the schools knowledge and truth
II would appear that after so much
early prosperity Ireland was to enter
the school of suffering, in order that.
by severe trial. she might become
again the great witness for truth
when darkness should once more COW
er the earth.
The dark hour is approaching. the
twilight of civilization is long passed.
and the midnight of satanic barbar-
ism is at hand, under the evil in
fiuence Of which many shall fall to
rise no more. When men no longer
care for truth for its own sake, then
shadow has fallen upon the soul
When people in high places regard
the truth and untruth as a matter of
indifference, darkness has enveloped

Scrubs the Fowl,

A fastidious woman treats every
fowl she cooks to good scrubbing
with soap and water before he goes
into the roasting pan. She gives him
the bath he never had, rinses well
with cold water and wraps him in a
towel to absorb the surplus water.

Erin forever his glory attesting,
Ranked him a martyr what time he
was slain.
Laud him Ger hill and glen,
Echo his praise again,
Ye whom fair Leinster has drawn 10

Felled by the foeman's sword,
Ireland's most worthy lord,
Edward Fitzgerald has gone to his
rest.
You did we look to when death was

Men whom the royal troops sought TO
oppose;
You cheered your spirits midst cannon
resounding:
Gus foes.
Gone are a hundred years,
Gone are the wars and fears,
Time holds in honor the life that you
gave;
Minstrels awake the lay,
Call back again the day
Decades agone when he stood midst
the brave.
Sing loud the praise of that glorious
martyr;
He. the great hero, is with US no
more;
Him, whom no yeoman e'er heard ask
for quarter,
has summoned, his battles now

There where the. angels sing
Praises TO Christ, the King,
He has the place which his virtue has
won.

Well may proclaim in praise

The Rosary in Ireland.

No one familiar with the Irish at
home or abroad viii discern any note
of exaggeration in this paragraph from
paper by Father Proctor, 0. P, in
the Rosary Guide:
In prosperity and in adversely, in
the evening of sadness apd in the
morning of gladness, in their joys and
in their sorrows, the Beads were ever
their talisman, the Rosary their an
Choir of hope which kept them united to
Jesus, the Incarnate Son. and to Mary,
the Spotless Mother In the ages Of
persecution the Rosary was their 'shib-
boleth, the password by which they
were known to be of Christ and of
Cod During the dark days the Ros-
airy kept the lamp of their faith ever
burning in the Irish heart and in the
Irish home When the Mass was pro-
scribed and the sacred rites were put
under ban, and price was set upon
the head of the priest-the soggarth
aroon so dear to Erin's childTen-the
Rosary under the sweet Providence of
God and the influence of the Virgin
Mother and Queen, preserved that faith
in the Incarnation and in the mysteries
Of redemption which is the very life of
the Irish race"
we have often thought that, as Mary
has put down all heresies,' so irish
devotion to Mary has been the efficient
cause of Ireland's having ever been
preserved from either heresy or its
half-sister, schism, says Ave Maria
Alone among all countries, the Emer-
aid Isle holds the distinction of never
having given her adhesion, even for a
day, TO an anti-Pope.

There Is a great complaint OF the

the labor will be likely to return to
the farms. Factories may shut

farms shu, down. the end is near
for all the rest. A large farmer near
Norfolk told me recently that the

a presidential candidate to lead the
scattered remnants Of the party to de-
feat. Thomas Watson Of Georgia. will
probably be accorded this honor, al

on Wednesday afternoon and select
four delegates at large to the national

RE0RGANIz OF

The Bluff City Lumber Company. Of
Pine Bluff, Ark, which has doomed
large in the yellow pine world for
nearly twenty-five years, recently has
been reorsanized on more pleasing
basis to its stockholders, and in that
connection the American Lumberman

as neither Of these officials has before
had photographs made in twenty
