nal remembrance. st. Patrick was q
great man because he was good and he
attained the reward promised IN the
text insofar that his name is held IN
remembrance throughout the civilized
world. St. Patrick. he said, introduced
into Ireland Christianity, which is the
basis of the very best kind of civil1za-
ton and without which the highest CIV
ilization and morality cannot be achleV-
ed.
Father Hayden explained the travails
and labors of st. Patrick and how the
gospel progressed in Ireland under MS
miniStration until the island became
known throughout Europe as the
Isle of Saints and Scholars" Her early
missionaries were sent into all the
countries of Europe just as In the later
statesmen abroad, an O'Donnell to
Spain, a McMann to France, Taaffe
to Austria, and even later the men who
gave to our own great country what
was the best in them.
No other citizen declared Father
"surpasses the Irishman in
his deep attachment to the United
States and to our own flag, and he has
taken a prominent part in all the con-
Germs of our national life. In the pull
pit, before the bar, on the battlefield.
in the shop, on the farm, the lrishman
has been a success and a good, loyal
friend, witty and kind-hearted.
In emphatic terms Father Hayden
denounced the stage 1riShman, which
caricature, he said was originally man
ufactured to please the London audi
ences and later on was transferred to
this country. He strongly urged his
against spending money
to maintain such malicious traVeSty
upon the race that is so prominent for
so many grand traits of character.
Father Hayden received through the
mails a small box containing shamrock
from the "ould sod sent by his broth
er. J. B. Hayden, of Roscommon, Ire
land, and also box of shamrock from
John Redmond, the great leader of the
Irish party in parliament. Father Hay
denis brother in Island is member
of parliarnent from Roscommon and he
is also editor of newspaper in the
Emerald Isle.

LILLIS is HEARD
Catholic Prelate Appointed on
Text Book Board
Replies to Critics Who Found
Fault With Stubbs.
HE WAS SURPRISED.
Had No Hint in Advance of Gov
ernOr's Ac ions.
Does Not Say Positively He Will
Decline.

Bishop T. F. Lillis, the noted Cath
ilic churchman, who was appointed
by Gov. Stubbs on. the state text book
commission, and who has been re-
ported as refusing to accept the place,
made the following statement in Kan
sas City regarding the appointment,
the criticisms it evoked and his per-
sonal feelings in the matter:
Because his excellency, Governor
w. r. Stubs, has seen fit to use his
own judgment in selecting the names
for the state text book commission a
hue and a cry has gone out from some
quarters and many unwarranted
things are said. The chief executive
of the state is assaiIed by self ap-
pointed cenSors of his official acts and
men who ought to be engaged in ce-
menting the bonds of charity are oc-
cupied in trying to create distrust.
think the governor is acting within
his rights, but am sorry he did not
select some one else in my stead for
the commission. His offer to place
me on the board was a greater sur
prise to me than it could have been
to any of his critics.
II met Mr.. Stubs but once and on
that occasion nothing was said about
any board or any commission. His
appointment of me was entirely graf
u1tous on his part. I am not cognizant
of any one suggesting my name to
him. Certainly no one did with my
consent or knowledge
Il am not insensible to the conf
dence he places in me, nor am I lack
ing in appreciation of the honor of
his courtesy, but he knows my time is
so taken up that the greatest favor he
could do me would be to find another
member to replace me on the COM
mission

serve the best that intelligence and
means can provide and our text books
should be the choicest 1 am not ac-

dicate their thorough fitness for the
position they are called on to fill.
ParoclliaI Schools.
THE criticisms of the new text book
cause of my relations with the paro-
chfal schools, and here wish to state
few things regarding these schools
They are built and maintained by the
people of the Catholic faith. Thev are
private institutions working for God
and country. They import secular
knowledge by using most of the state
text books, and they instruct in Chris
tian fundamentals.
They are not built to oppose or to
eompete with the public schools. For

Kansas there are 1900 children in
the parochial schools and thus the
sum of $250,000 is saved annually to
the general public by the existence of
these schools.

MARY's WARNING.

Our hearts are sad. our faces grave,
We bear a common sorrow;
We do not heed our work to-day.
We're thinking of the morrow.
We sit in listless attitudes.
To hide our grief we're scorninE;
Come veal. come woe. what do we care
For Mary's given warning
But yesterday we played and sang.
The whole house rang with laughter,
We did not note the gathering gloom
That's clouded our hereafter.
We needed not, poor blinded fools.
Till mother in the morning
Announced to all the dining room
That Mary's given warning.
But now the blow has fallen, we
Our conversation flavor
With various remarks upon
Her ominous behavior.
Her sullen looks. those ill-washed plates.
Her slowness In the morning
How could we be surprised to hear
That Mary's given warning?
Now for a month the front door bell
VIII shake in agitation;
Young persons will be coming for
The vacant situation.
And so we sit in attitudes,
AL occupations scorning.
Since we all heard at breakfast time
That Mary's given warning.

Fourteen Hundred Miles
Down the Grand Canon.

A remarkable trip by water was
made last fall through the canons
of the Grand and Colorado rivers
by five men in four boats. f. j.
Stone of Columbus, Ohio, financed
the expedition and Nathan Gallo
way of Vernal, Utah, was expert
navigator and guide, says the Den
yer Post.
Starting at Green River, Wyo.,
on the Union Pacific railroad, the
first canon was Red canon, 100
miles long, which was passed in
about three days. Except Gallo
way none of the party were expert
in the gentle art of shooting" the
rapids, and at dangerous places in
the river Galloway took the boats
through while the other men got
out and walked. But before many
days the others became almost as
good boatmen as Galloway and
negotiated Ladore. Whirlpool and
Split Mountain Canon without
accident. Uintah basin, 13O miles
long was smooth sailing. During
the whole of the trip they averaged
about 20 miles "A day. Next came
Desolation canon, 100 miles of it,
and rapids every mile. Then Gray
canon, 80 miles long and the next
stop was Green River, Utah. From
this place to the junction of the
Grand river are 124 miles OF
smooth water then begins Catarac
canon. Here the river contains a
world of water and one portion is
called "Hell's Half Mile" One
of the men took a good look and
quit the ship. The rest went on.
One boat was dashed to pieces on
the rocks and a lot of supplies lost.
The boatman protected by cork
jacket swan ashore. Glen canon,
Marble canon and then the Grand
Canon of Arizona. Their good
luck held and they made the hun
dred miles without accident. Then
came the Grand canon proper 300
miles long the toughest part of
the journey. The unfortunate,
man named Doubendortf, upset
again. This time he cut his head
but courageously kept on. After
leaving the Canon it was easy
sailing to Needles, Calf
The journey of 1900 miles was
made in tritie over two months,
with nearly a month to spare over
the time they had allowed them
selves.

of the Knights of Pythias will
come from Bismarck and exempli-
fy the work in all three ranks of
the order. 1t is the purpose to
have an appropriate class for that

various committees are busily at
work and the occasion will be an
important one in the history of
North Dakota Pythianism. The
local lodge is the youngest in the
state, and it's members have been
so imbued with that Williston
spirit that they have already made
the lodge here conspicuous among
the sixty lodges of the state.
1t is desired that every member
of the order attend the regular
meeting of the lodge on next Mon
day night that final arrangements
for the visit of the Grand Chan
cellor may be made without ques-
ton.

Misbranded.

Through a typographical error
in the list of members of the SEN
ate appearing in the advance sheets
of The blue book. it would seem
that senator Overson was listed
as ! democrat. This is an error.
Senator Overson has long been
one of the leading Republicans of
the northwest part of the state.
He has been states attorney, at
torney for the new water users as
sociation at Williston, is engaged
in various business enterprises in
Williams county and vicinity,
and is exceedingly we'll qualified
for the important task of repre-
senting this large and important
new district in the legislature.
Personally, he is courteous, ap-
proachable and clever. Political
" he is a staunch Republican, and
as lawyer he is we'll known and
esteemed all through the section
of country in which he has prac-
ticed. He is popular with all
mesabers of the senate, old and
new, and Williams county is for
tunate in being so ably and clever
ly represented in the upper house.
