pisaureeahIe Folks.

There are numerous people who are
constituted with dispositions which
make them very disagreeabIe to many
who are in close association with them.
Some of them have nasty tempers, and
"A little provOcation causes them to
speak spitefully to those who slightly
trespass upon them. Others are so con-
trary that they will balk and look sour
whenever they are opposed in their
views and actions. 1t is almost impos-
sible for anyone to please them, except
for a little while. Indeed, they are fire.
quently displeased with themselves.
The extremely disagreeable ones
have but comparatively few practical
friends They are apt to be Stunned by
the most of those who know them well,
and yet this class of people should be
pitied. They are the unwilling cap
tives of disposition which they really
hate
But even the grace of God does not
entirely remove the tendency in many
really good people to be offensive in
their manners. They have inherited
dispositions which are so deeply rooted
i'm them with perverse and peevish in
rlinations, that they tenaciously stick to
them. Let the agreeable ones be
compassionate to these unfortunates.
Patiently pity them, and then prize
YOUR inheritance of a perennially genial
and agreeable nature.

Does He Really Men IL?

During state banquet given by the
lieutenant governor of Quebec, Sir c.
A. P. Pelletier to the archbishops and
bishops of the plenary council, Mon
signor Sbarretti startled the large dis
tinguished dinner party by reading to
them a cablegram to the king, together
with his majestys reply, received dur
ing the banquet. The first dispatch was
as follows:
His Majesty, the King, London-The
apostolic delegate and the Catholic
archbishops and bishops of Canada, in
plenary council assembled in the city
of Quebec, desire to convey TO your mai
esty the expression of their own loyalty
and that of all your other Catholic sub
jects in this dominion, as well as their
grateful appreciation of the religious
and civil liberty which they enjoy under
your gracious rule. All pray that your
reign may be long and peaceful. Mon
signor Sbarretti, Apostolic Delegate
The prompt reply read: 'Monsignor
Sbarretti. Apostolic Delegate, Quebec
I thank your eXcellency and the arch
bishops and bishops associated with you
for your telegram of loyalty which is in
all the best traditions of the Church of
which you are the hierarchy. and of the
dominion where you are assembled. 1t
is my constant desire that civil and re-
ligious liberty should always be enjoyed
by my subjects in all parts of the en-

The Things We Meant to Do.

When at some mystical behest
Life greets US with it's first embrace
And with a blind but growing zest
We learn the strange earth face Il
face;
Through Orient clouds we love t,
trace
A shining pathway in the blue
Where gods inspire our eager chase
To do the things we meant to do.
At noontide on the sunlit crest
The zenith glow subdues our pace,
But still that vision of the best
Blots out the petty things and base.
The hurrying byways interlace,
Pale, broken dreams the waysde strew
Too swift the hours, too strait oul
case,
To do the things we meant to do.
The shadowy islands Of the west
Grow rich with days decling grace,
They proffer US the cup of rest
The guerdon Of a hard won race,
There is no lovelier dreaming place,
And yet our restless souls would sue:
Grant US. oh, gods, a little space
To do the things we meant to do.

What We stand in Need Of.

More books and fewer banquets. More
thinking and less drinking. More work
and less talk. More self-forgetfulness
and less self glorification. More con
structiveness and less criticism. More
sociability and less whist. More sim
plicity and fewer airs More copying
of kindly and worthy deeds and less
imitation of fads and follies and fol-
bles. More real recreation and less
sham. More study clubs and less social
clubs. More helpful, hopeful conversa-
ton and less gossip. More emphasis on
manners and morals and less on money.
More sincerity and less smartness.
Larger outlooks and smaller grudges. A
greater desire for social usefulness than
social prestige. These are few of our
needs. Others may easily suggest them
selves to any thoughtful Catholicism

Poverty and Suffering Cannot Be
Eliminated

Preaching at the high mass in the
Church of Corpus Christi, Baltimore.
last Sunday, his eminence the cardinal
said in part, as follows:
The purpose of the American today
is not only to alleviate but to eliminate
poverty. L believe in public spirit, and
L admire the Americans for endeavoring
to relieve suffering. Suffering, however,
cannot be eliminated, AS long as the
social relations exist between human
beings there will be poverty in the
world.
God intended inequality among man
kind, and this inequality we will always
have, continued the cardinal. "Christ's
disciples were not men of potent polit-
zeal influence or high social positions:
they were without any prestige at all in
the sight of men, But they were com
manded by Christ TO preach the gospel,
TO heal the broken hearts, to feed the
hungry and clothe the naked,
The religion of Christ is a practical
TellglOn, and bears a relation to social
beings. Men were created for society,
and no man is sufficient by himself
Ihere should be the same harmonious
relations between members of the So
claI body, whether rich or poor, as be-
tween members of the physical body.
1 care not how rich man is. I care
not whether he be a Croesus, a John
Jacob Aston, a John D. Rockefeller or a
vanderbilt, what viii his wealth avail
him if he has no friend to help him, no
servant TO minister to his wants, no one
to stand by him, no one to give him
solace in his sorrow? If they have no
friend, | say, their wealth will avail
them nothing.
The rich as well as the poor declare.
l am not my brothers keeper This is
the language of self1shness and misery.
Ihat man must be miserable that says
1 am not my brothers keeper. He is
an iceberg and is a curse to himself

An Everyday Woman.

Whatever other ambition you have
YOU must strive to be a good house
keeper. You married your husband to
make him happy; YOU are under a con-
tract to do so. and although you must
be Mary in order to satisfy him and
yourself. you must be Martha. too.
But do not stop there. Continue to
cultivate your mind. Your husband is
learning all sorts of fresh facts every
day. A mans life, and his continual
association with others who think. tend
to encourage the natural proclivity he
has for mental growth. However pref
~ and well-dressed you are-and both
OF those delight him-he viii still feel il
TO be a great drawback if you are not
interested in most of the things that
interest him.

law. which was held to be in force in
old Indian territory by federal en-

frauds were committed.
Sylvester Rush, special assistant
attorney general, who prepared the
cases for the government, stated after
the opinion was handed down, that
he would present the matter TO the
grand jury now in session.
The indictments against the de-
PENDANTS numbered thirteen and they
were returned at Muskogee. after a
long jury investigation conducted by
M Rush. Witnesses were brought
from Ohio, Michigan and other east
