lreland's Unique Record.

Thinking people should give some
special thought to Ireland, in many
respects the most remarkable coun-
try on earth. says the Leader of
Richmond. Va. Nowhere in history
Is there record of a territory so small
and people so few giving the world
so much. No other nation has Its
blood SO widely diffused among the
strong peoples of the earth, adding
strength, energy and dash to the best
of them. No other people has sent
its blood to he shed on so many bat
tlefieds and in so many causes and
so invariably far to the front.
1t is one Of the familiar but pa
thetic humors OF history that the
Irish have done more for almost ev-
cry land on the globe than for Ire
land; and there is much truth In
that famous and somewhat fatterns
sneer that the Irish rule all countries
but Ireland.
They have contributed to every de-
partment Of human endeavor. In
this republic irish names and Irish
stock are everywhere active in the
doing Of things, from the digging of
bitches to the leadership of armies
and the creation and conduct OF
great enterprises. A very large ma
iority of the citizens Of these United
States have more or less Irish blood
In their veins and consequently sym.
pathy with and affection for ireland
Aside from that, all the people
must recognize the debt they owt
to 1rishmen for achievement in war
for brilliancy in craftsmanship. foi
poetry. literature art. science and
commercial and Industrial tr,lmphs
When we recall that the island Is
about three-fourths the size Of the
state Of Virginia and at It's most
populous period never had more
than eight million people, we must
be astonlshed at the influence 1t has
had in the world and at it's rich con-
tributons to the roll of heroes and
the greatness of mankind.

Record-Breaking Number Of Entries

w. j. Graham, OF Howard Lake,
Mimi, one of the big Minnesota breed
ers and shippers of Poland China hogs
and short horn cattle, has engaged ten
pens in the hog building for the com

that his exhibit will be in decidedly in
teresting company.

Convent Life in Fiction.

Mrs. Virginia Crawford, in an arti-
Gle in the Catholic World on convent
life in fiction, says that modern nov
elists of the better class are beginning
to treat monastic and convent life in
far different manner from the novel;
lists of the past. She says:
mo manifestation Of Catholic faith,
with the exception perhaps of the So
ciety of Jesus, has survived such per-
sistent denunciation from Protestant
writer's as convent life. TO use home
ly smile, the cloister has ever been as
red flag to the bull to certain class
of minds. No charge against monks and
nuns has been too monstrous. no inter-
probation too fantastic for their eager
credulity. The simplest events occur
ring within convent walls have been
invested with a sinister intent, while
the supernatural motive has been fout-
ed or deliberately ignored Books and
pamphlets, written from this stand

dreds and thousands and cannot fail
to have affected public opinion. We
are all familiar with the anti Ca tholic
Calumnies Of certain much read though
mediocre novelists. It is a plcasa inter-
task to turn from these to some of our
acknowledged masters of fiction, TO au-
thors of today and earlier days whose
repute cannot be gainsaid, and see
how the same theme energies from
their hands. II we find that their in
depreciation is a different one, I think
we may claim that the weight of lit
erary testimony is on our side, even
though the honors Of widespread
circulation may possibly lie with our
opponents"
Mrs. Crawford goes on to show that
those who attack convent life know
nothing Of it's first principles, nothing
of it's daily rule or approved customs
They concoct an elaborate caricature

Of prejudice and malice. 1t would NJ,
be wrong, indeed, to add that there Is
a distinctly financial premium placed

and that writer's in fabricating their
stories bear this fact in mind. No or

will understand that no pro- Catholic
prejudice moves him to depict the
beauty in any condition Of our relig-

out stint. Iconoclast and atheist though
he was, Hugo, too, always paid his
tribute to the beauty and sanctity Of

Mr.. DooLEY ON THE THEATRE
If It's an Educational Institution He
Says the People Don't Know It.

Now that there are protests from
many places on the indecency of the
theater, it is interesting to know the
Philosopher Dooley's summing up of
the playhouse reform controversy:
"Sthrange to say, both sides admit that
tn theaytre is an educational institu-
ton. | never thought iv it that way. l
always supposed that people wint to tn
theaytre because they had no comfort

dishes weren't washed. or to laugh or
cry or have a good spell ~ coughing
where it Wud atthract attintion But
it seems l was wrong. TIL theaytre is
intinded to be more like a night school
thin a circus. It's a good thing f'r til
theaytres that tn people that go to thin
don't know this. If they felt they were
bein idjacated Whin they thought they
were neglectin' their minds they'd mob
tn DO office TO get their money back.

AscETIcs FOR SOCIETY.
The Fashionable Suffer Far Greater
Rigors Than the Christian
Who Keeps Lent.

The restraint and modification of
Lent, as now observed, are slight in
comparison with the hardships which
many people in society impose upon
themselves. A fashionable woman-as
f1ippant as fashionable-was once
heard to declare, says the Ave Maria,
that she had suffered more in her life
time from tight shoes alone that st.
Lawrence did from his gridiron. Not
to speak of the mental strain and bodi-
ly fatigue incidental to constant enter
tanning and visiting. the stern disci-
pline of the table the hard trials of the
drawing room, or hundred and one
things to which people in society have
TO accustom themselves, the exigen-
cies of dress alone constitute a greater
hardship that common folk have any
idea, of. Who that mixes in society is
allowed to wear what he pleases. where
he pleases? He must conform to usage,
though he would prefer any fashions
that ever existed to some which prevail
Wherever he goes he must wear the fet-
ters with which society binds him: and
they are all the more irksome for being
shared by so many others.
When, therefore" says an anony-
nous writer I'VE shudder at a life of
asceticism or Christian perfection, it be-
comes a question whether as much re-
straint of the natural man is not ex-
acted by life in society as in the ac-
quirement of Christian virtues The
actual physical pain endured in society
diseases-gout. dyspepsia, neuralgia and
the hke-is as great in amount, and
perhaps greater in intensity, than the
bodily lacerattion of ascetics. The self
control and self-inspection prescribed
for attaining humility. patience or
meel1ness, are not much greater than
are needed for acquiring the ways OF
society; and use or habit makes them
similarly second nature. Hence the
comparison depends on the motive or
end. The object in submitting to the
exigencies of society is pleasure and the
enjoyment of society. An old victim of
society. reviewing his forty years in il,
may well ask what he has gained by his
adherence to society rule. Was the
game worth the candle? A Christian
life is a higher ideal, a nobler aim:
and a believer in Immortality has enor-
mously the advantage of his forty
years practice of Christian virtues for
a similar amount of self-restraint: it is
the difference between a wasted life and
a life of successful lager. Nor does he
lack the qualities of a true gentleman.
The Christian virtues induce the con-
sideration for others that is the main
spring Of what we call a gentleman A
saint has all the requisites of a gentle
man, but a gentleman has not always
the requisites of a saint"
