British AdmlraI's Little Joke.

Primarily, as every one knows, re-
marks the Boston Republic, COM
menting on the recent great Hudson
Fulton festival in New York, the pa
rade celebrated the rediScovery of the
Hudson by the Dutch explorer, Henry
Hudson, 300 years ago, and the sailing
of the first steamboat up that river
from New York to Albany by the
Irish-American, Robert Fulton, 100
years ago. incidentally, it made room
for remembrance of the first discoverer
of the Hudson, the Italian, Giovanni da
Verrazano, in 1924, and the Portuguese,
Estevan Gomez, who navigated it and
named it the San Antonio year later.
With these facts it mind, it was
rather droll to hear the British repre-
sentative, Admiral Seymour, describe
the two discoveries as two of the most
important events "in the history of the
race to which you and I belondg!"
In view of the splendid Catholic cele-
bration of the event-Archbishop Far
ley having directed solemn high
masses of thanksgiving in all the
churches of the diocese and the observ-
ance in his cathedral being so great
and well attended, as to attract the spe-
cial notice of the secular press: also
the several big celebrations of the
Irish American societies, all of Cath
Ole membership. and the obvious fact
that the Catholics have so numerously
secured the best sites on the Hudson
for some of their greatest institutions
that Thomas F. Meehan, writing in
America, in nowise exaggerates when
he takes for title 1.-THE Catholic Hudson
River" we can afford to let Admiral
Seymour have his little joke.

Less ostentatIon.

THE pastors of our church." said
Bishop Ludden of Syracuse, the othe,
day. have consistently urged upon
their people the need for less of osten-
tation and outlay at funeral services.
1t is a matter, of course, for private
decision, but our clergy are emphatic
ally in sympathy with a more sane and
sensible course than is taken by many
who, when the funeral expenses of a
breadwinner are paid. haven't a cent
left for the butcher and baker. He is
gone; they are left TO live, and living
costs. But many of them never think
of that till afterward.
Yes, there certainly should be more
common sense shown by some people
who have a hard enough time to keep
the wolf from the door when every
thing is fair sailing. When somebody
dies they will spend every cent, and
even go hopelessly in debt for funeral
expenses.
Then there is the man who belongs
to one of these orders. which pays a
little insurance He dies. They get
out plumed hearse and mile of car
riages and n band. and they carry him
to the grave in state The insurance
money goes for the funeral expenses

Is Courtesy pecllnfno2

1T was not so in my days" we are
constantly reminded by our grand
mother or some other aged relative
and she also reminds us that girls and
boys made courtesies and bows to those
who were older than themselves. YES
ma am and mo, sir were their re-
spectful replies when remark was
addressed to them; but though we do
not require such overwhelming polite
ness in these days, we think there is
much room for Improvement in this
matter.
If we look at the root of it, it will
be found that good sense and consid-
Grafton of others is the soul of good
manners, while stupidity is the source
of bad manners. Realizing this. no
one will push her way past her neigh
bors, putting them to inconvenience,
in order to obtain some supposed adj
vantage for herself, or speak hastily
or ilnpolitely to anyone, no matter who
they may be. Good manners cost us
nothing, but they purchase much. 2;

roc MANY coILectors.

1t is a pleasure to find ones position
endorsed by so able and dignifled a
Catholic weekly as the stanch True
Voice of Omaha. The current issue OF
that vital journal says:
THE Catholic Sun of Syracuse enters
emphatic protests against the endless
collecting trips of SO many clerics to
America in behalf of new churches and
other less sanctifled enterprises in Ire
land. We think it time for such pro-
test to be filed. There are altogether too
many demands on the generosity OF our
Catholic laity for alien prophets that
often have in them more sentiment
than religion for a basis. Charity is
wide, but the needs of the Church at
home should come first"
Our platform exactly, western friend.
They do not need those churches in
Ireland. Every American Catholic will
tell you this who has been in that
country of recent years. They have
finer parish churches than we have of
cathedrals. Then, besides the great
church the parish priest has his fine
house. The first curate has his house,
also, and so has the second. Many
American priests are most glad to
have q roof to cover their heads. It
is high time to put a stop to the in
cessant collecting tours in this coun-
try
II were just as well, also, to drop a
hint to the rapidly increasing horde Of
lecturers, singers, players and such
like. Some of those Pushful Seumases
literally live off the Irish in this
COuntry-wring the necks Of the toll
ers for their cash-and then go home
and declare that the Irish in America
are all clownish money grabbers or
worse. We have all heard this charge
and some of us are growing weary of

A Word to Catholic Societies.

The Michigan Catholic, now that the
winter is approaching and the lecture
season opening up, reminds Catholic
societies that they should not be so
prone as they are to ask lecturers to
give their services for nothing. Our
societies, or many of them, have this
bad habit-they have had it long, in
fact-and it is not to their credit, -
says our esteemed contemporary
They should, in all justice, remember
that people who lecture, or sing, or
play, must eat and must wear clothes
They cannot afford to give their tall
ents for nothing and should not be
asked to do so. 1t takes a good deal
of money and much hard work to make
a capable lecturer, singer or player
We Catholics owe it to those gifted
people to support them, not to deprive
them of their daily bread. We have no
right to assume that when God gave
them gifts He did so in order that they
might serve us for nothing"

BRIEFS FROM EXCHANGES.
Better Than Riches,

A man can have no more valuable
asset than good name. 1t is a tower
of strength in a time of misfortune.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer tells of a
man, charged with picking, who
was freed in Cleveland police court
because he happened to have in his
pocket letter certifying that he was
trustworthy The letter was from Sir
Thomas Upton, for whom the accused
man had worked for seven years. A
Cleveland policeman found him bend
ing over q drunken man on the side
walk, and the policeman claimed that
1t was a case of attempted pocket
picking. However, the court. after
reading Sir Lipton's letter, gave the ac-
cused man the benefit Of the doubt and
discharged him. The public prosecutor
consented to this disposition of the
case.-Toledo Record.

Marian. PHILOSOPHER.

Marian returned from the picnic limp
and bedraggled, but smiling as usual.
The party had been caught in a sud-
den, violent shower, and her dress was
ruined
Clear again" she called, blithely, to
| the family, gathered on the piazza to
await her. I've been. wondering for
two or three months whether this mus
lin would stand ruin. Now I know: SO

The family, being well aware that
Marian never did worry, showed no
surprise at her summary dismissal of
the subject. Aunt Rachel, a visitor.
who had the unhappy habit of "bor-
rowing trouble" and dwelling upon
small annoyances, could not quite I'M
derstand her niece. But some illumina-
ton came a few days later, when the
girl and the elderly woman starting
for the city with shopping in view,
reached the railway station just in
time to miss the train
My luck!" Aunt Rachel fretted "If
we'd been minute earlier we'd have
caught it; and now l suppose we'll
have to wait for twenty minutes.
"Oh, well, let's be thankful it isn't
forty minutes was Marian's calm re-
joinder. Twenty minutes will give us
chance to go over our shopping lists
and make sure that we haven't left out
anything" Then, seating herself COM
fortably, she prepared to make good
use Of the time.
Aunt Rachel stared and wondered
She wanted to know whether her niece
was merely acting out her temperament,
or whether she was following reas-
oned and planned philosophy But she
did not speak then, and the question
she might have asked was answered
the next day in her hearing
indirectly, for the benefit of a girl who.
like Marian, was senior in the high
school.
"Oh, Marian!" gushed the other girl.
Aren't you just distracted for fear the
school committee will refuse to engage
Lauriat Hall for our graduation exer-
cises?''
"Distracted?" repeated Marian, the
philosopher. ''Of course not Never
am. If should go to worrying it would
hurt me, and it wouldn't have the
slightest effect on the school commit
tee. So 1 keep cool and hope for the
best, as 1 always do"
By that time Aunt Rachel understood
and she went away thoughtful-recall-
ing, it may be, days of unhappiness
caused by trifles, matters of such slight
consequence that, looking back a week
later, she could scarcely have told
what it was. that had made her
Wretched. Yet those small. unnecessary
worries were large enough to waste
time, weaken the nerves and sap the
strength and courage needed for the
serious business of life

The Family Rosary.

One thing we hope for it is this:
that wherever this calender goes the
beautiful and supremeiy sanctifying
practice viii be adopted, if it ioes
not already exist, of gathering the
entire family together, children, SER
wants, and all each evening, at d fixed
hour, for the public recitation of the
Rosary. In season and out of season
we have never. ceased 20 strongly rec
ommend this practice. Wherever it
is adopted you may rest assured that
peace and happiness will reign within
the family circle, Gods blessing will
be on the household, His grace will be
in the hearts Of ALL and such a meas
ure of worldly prosperity as He sees to
be for the general good will be granted
to the home where Mary's Rosary is
held in honor.-Irish Messenger

Guard Your Lips.

You are old enough to know what
it means to be guarded in speech "
Set guard upon your lips; keep back
the bad words. the angry words. the
idle words. Let only words pleasing
to God pass the guard.
Have you read carefully the prayer
which the priest says at mass before
he begins the gospel?
Cleanse my heart and my lips, Q
Almighty God, who didst cleanse the
lips Of the prophet Isaiah with a burn
ing coal; and vouchsafe through Thy
gracious mercy, so to purify me, that
| may worthily attend to Thy holy
Gospel"
Pure thoughts, pure speech and purs
acts make pure, holy lives. Our thoughts
must be pure and pleasing to God if
we wish to lead holy lives. If thoughts
of God fill our minds and our hearts
burn with love for Him, our speech
viii be ever pleasing to Him.

Not the Mems Fault.
(From the Pilot. BOSTON,

The Waterman (Baptist) asks the
question: What, in your opinion, is
the reason why so few laboring men
are found in the churches? Is the fault
with the men or the churches?'' The
questioner may profitably turn to the
Catholic churches. There he will find
the workingman in full force. Out of
IL 100000 Catholic adults in the United
States 1913 per cent are men, and fully
80 per cent of them workingmen. That
means that the Catholic church has
within 1t the qualities that satisfy the
appeal of the workingman. If the con-
ditions are the reverse in the non-Cath
Ole churches. it cannot thus be the
fault of the laboring men. The cause
must lie In the other direction.

Visits to the Blessed Sacrament.

The ways of visiting the Blessed
Sacrament must be as various as the
souls of men. Some love to go there
to listen; some to speak; some tn
confess to Him as if He Were either
priest; some to examine their con-
science, as before their Judge some
to do homage to Him as their king;
some to study Him as their doctor
and prophet; some to find shelter as
with their Creator. Some rejoice in
His divinity, others in His sacred hui
mainly, others in the mysteries of the
seasons. Some visit Him on different
days by His different titles, as God,
Father, Brother, Shepherd, Head of
the Church and the like. Some visit
to adore, some to intercede, some to
petition, some to return thanks. some
to get consolation, but all visit Him
to love, and to all who visit Him in
love. He is power Of heavenly grace
and a fountain of many goods. no
single one of which the whole created
universe could either merit or confer

Plus K.
ACCEPTANCE OF SUFFERING.

The presence of suffering on the
earth began in Eden. Pain, toll,
death, this was the threefold punish
ment sent by God for the first sin. But
while suffering was inflicted by God as
a curse, it may be changed into a
blessing; for though man cannot es-
cape its all-pervading influence, yet he
can so use life's ills that they will
bring him nearer to that God from
whom he turned away by sin.
BY accepting the pains and disap-
pointment which befall US and by sub
hitting our will TO Gods in all our trials
we prove the sincerity of our sorrow
for past offenses. Many of our suffer-
ings are sent as chistisements; we sin
easily, and lightly forget it. But God
never forgets; and it is because He
loves us that He gives us an opportu-
nifty to atone.
Besides this power of satisfaction,
acceptance of suffering wins us many
graces. 1t makes US Gods chosen
friends. 1t protects us from the allure
ments of the world and the temptations
which accompany unmixed prosperity.
1t detaches our hearts from the things
of earth. Most of all, it makes us like
to Christ, the Man OF Sorrows. The
shadow of the cross was over His life
from Bethlehem to Calvary, and His
example took from suffering its char
acteT Of evil, and made it the badge Of
His love 1t became a grecious gift
offered most of Gods hottest Saints.
And such will it be for us, If we accept
it in union with the sufferings Of Jesus
But to do this is the work of grace
and needs the help OF prayer-prayer
that we may have strength to drink
the chalice Of suffering with Christ,
and say Thy will be done"

Wins the PreIate's Prize.

Archbishop P. J. Ryan of this city.
says the Philadelphia Record, owes the
children at the orphanage maintained
by the Altoon diocese a treat of candy,
and they are impatiently waiting for
him to return here SO he can buy the
best.
The archbishop, who was there at
tending the ruby jubilee of Bishop T.
A. Carney, was taken to the orphan
age at recess by the bishop. and de-
lighted the little folks with his fa-
nous stories.
Why is a stick of candy like a
horse?" he suddenly asked.
I know" piped a bit of lad.
." Cause the more you lick the faster ii
goes''
The joke was on the archbishop and
he graciously promised to send home
the candy as soon as he returned home.

To a Soldier.

Soldier thy voice rang out across the
strife,
A shrill rebuke to laggards in the
fray,
Or trumpeted My summons to obey,
Thrilling the wearied brave with con-

Healer thy whispered lore with health
was rife;
Thy gentle touch probed to the souls

And plucked the menace of it's death
away
Beneath the sweet, sharp kindness of
the knife.
Onward the fight to newer regions
rolls;
The wounded seek out other charity
Travelling beyond the comfort of thy
word.

The DESTINATIONS Funeral.

Grief will have its way, but where
it runs to ostentation and to extrava
gance in the matter of expense, wisdom
would dictate another course. The
pluned hearse, the oaken casket with
silver handles, the profusion of flowers
in conventional designs, the long line
of carriages, the wealth of crepe-all
these levy heavy toll on the stricken
family. When the bills come in often
times there is not much left to pay
them or to meet current expenses
Death has laid a burden on the be-
Eeayed ones, but vanity and impru-
dence have only increased it, and that
needlessIy. Going hopelessly into debt
while leaving little or nothing for the
butcher, the baker and the grocery
man is folly indeed.-Catholic Trans
