thick where they branch from the cen

variegated and the other green. The
only difference Is that the variegated

up from the center TO height OF tiff

Terrible Experience of the Crew Of the

When Ross in 1918 touched at Etah

what else could the ship be but some
those strange creatures on her decks

where wood was abundant. and when
they saw her close, her wooden belly
and her masts. they whispered, How
much wood there is In the moon-how
very muchp Wood is like gold to the

JOYOUS OCCASION
FOR LITTLE FOLKS
Inmates of St. AIMS Orphan
age Are Generously Remem-
bered by Friends.

| Thursday afternoon was a joyous occa-
sion for the over 100 little folks who are
inmates of the Kearns st. AIMS or
phanage. Each year. at this season,
| these little people are given the full run
of the great building, and no restrictions
are placed upon them. Each one in
| dulges in whatever kind of sports they
desire, and as consequence, no child in
the entire city looks forward to the glad
Yuletide more ferventy than they do.
Yesterday was no exception to the rule.
Shortly after dinner had ended, the boys
and girls were told that during the after
noon they were to participate in an event
which meant more for them than almost
anything else The little folks gathered
in the spacious hall of the building, and
there found two big Christmas trees
heavily laden with presents for them,
while all about the base of the trees were
heaped boxes of candy, bags of nuts,
fruits and other good things.
BY way of fitting beginning. the
children sang one of their Christmas an
thems, and they rendered it with a Will.
This over, and q short address was de
liVered to them upon the meaning of
Christmas, and the coming of the Christ
child was explained simply TO them.
Mrs. Thomas Kearns, who each year
has made it a point to remember the
inmates of this institution. before leaV-
ing for California to pass the winter
months, had secured the names Of each
one of the children, and as a result there
was a present for each. These gifts var
led from games and toys for the little
ones. to articles of usefulness, books and
like things for the older children, and the
gifts were received with many express
sions of profund joy and delight. These
presents were distributed by Mrs. Gal
win. Mrs. Clarke and Mr. Charles, and
to each recipient was also given a box of
candy, or a bag containing fruit and
candy. Mrs. Kearns was not the only
one to remember the little folks with
clothing. books and toys, and among the
other donators were the following:
Mrs Sol Siegel Mrs. John ]. DAILY. the
Paris Millinery company. Mrs. David
Keith, Mrs. l.. B. Mccormick, Mrs. j.

GERMAN CATHOLIC PROGRESS.
Remarkable Progress Made in TWen-
ty Years.

Just before his death DR.. Wtndthorst
the leader of the German Centre Party,
conceived and drew up the plans for
that organization of the Catholic work
ers, the Volksverein.
1t is not quite twenty years since the
association was started. The meeting
at which it was inaugurated was held
at Mainz in $780, but now it counts its
members by hundreds of thousands.
At its annual meeting, which took
place at Breslau during the Catholic
congress, the report which was reao
by the general director, Mgr. Pieper,
showed remarkable progress. Within
the past year there was an increase OF
fourteen thousand members, and the
total membership now stands at
$40, 42S.
In the Rhineland the members num-
Der no less than 21S,000; in Westphalia
there are $4,000; and in Baden the
number is $4,000. Strong as the asso-
citation is, it continues to grow, and 1t
may be assumed as certain that in the
course of a few years the membership
will rise to a million
The Holy Father has blessed the or
ganizatton; the bishops are encourag-
ing it; and new branches are being
formed almost from week to week. The
Catholic workers feel that in the Centre
they have q powerful parliamentary
weapon for the assertion and defense
of their rights, and the members of the
Centre, on their part, recognize that so
long as they have the workers at their
back they occupy an impregnable posi-
ton

Story of Father Mathew.

| Father Mathew, the one hundred ano
nineteenth anniversary of whose birth
was alebrated recently, was the most
loviI ., and lovable of human beings,
and in light of this statement found in
biography of the famous Irish priest
by Mrs. Katherine lyman Hinkson two
incidents of his crusade ror temperance
in the north of Ireland should be read.
At Clones, in Ulster, there were two
Orange flags raised when he visited it..
Instead of considering it as an insult,
he thought it a very great compliment,
never having seen or been honored
with one before. When he saw them
he called three cheers for the Orange
flag. Commenting on this, an Irish
writer says:
At Cloues, in Ulster, there were two

and Catholic assembly heartily re-
spending, was something almost ncon-
ceivable. 1t had never occurred before
in Ireland. I'm afraid it has never &C.
CURED since
For the time being there was good
will and friendly feeling from one end
of Ulster to the other. One recruit
who knelt for Father Mathews bless
ing, said:
You wouldn't be blessing me if you
knew what L am
And what are you, my dear?"
Father Mathews called men, women
and children my dear"
