MEREDITH HAD SOME MONEY

LONDON, June 30, 1909.
When probate of George Meredith S
Will was granted people were surprised
10 find that he had lett an estate valued
at 1923 of which the net personally j
was sworn at G32, 1S5. His work had been
unrecognized at home for SO long that
f1O.SoO or s1o,OVO was the most at which
his probate fortune had been estimated.
1t must not be thought that the fortune
he actually left was the result OF his own
work 1t was due to legaces that fell
too him fairly late in life. The biggest
was from an uncle to whom Meredith s
father was in debt when he died. AS
soon as he had scraped the money to-
gether Meredith sent his uncle a check,
which was never presented, and later
came the legacy.
The fortune left by four of Meredith S
cotemporaries in Literature were: Al

sociation took d conspicuous part, and to
the efforts of whose Legislative commit
tee much of the hard work was accom-

and had laws enacted which make pilot

It lost a good deal of it's revenue by
making the change. it is true, but it has
ridded itself of much of the vexatious lit

its course, and, as it is now independent

More Money From Oysters.
Members of the senate are already be-

laws of the state so that there Will be
more money brought into the treasury
from the fishery industry. The oyster
question has been in dispute and the
subject of more discussion in the general
assembly for years than any other ques-
ton. The grounds belonging to the
state are very extensive and are pro-

to be found. The planters and tongers
have grown rich, the business being very
profitable.

A Long Night Vigil.

Just out of Boston, says an I'M
known writer, a young girl came to
me and asked: do you believe that
God would save by brother, if my
mother and l should pray all night
for him." Il told her that I believed
God had put the question in her mind,
and that I would advise her to put
Him to the test. .
She told me afterwards that they
returned from the meeting about ten
o'clock, and that they began their
prayer at that hour. They continued
in prayer until midnight, and until
two o'clock, and almost three. Then,
believing God had heard and would
answer, they went to sleep.
To my certain knowledge that
young man had not before that been
within four miles Of the place of
meeting; but the next night, with
never a word spoken to him, he was
in the meeting, and at the first OPP
portunity he arose and said: II wish
you would pray for me. I have been
deeply convicted of sin, and all last
night I felt the greatest desire to be
a Christian" The young man was
converted that night, and has since
been a constant member of the
church.

Only q Little Journey.

1t was a short journey of an hour
or two. The smoky little train rum
bled along, stopping at dingy stations,
and every time it stopped a young
girl looked up from her novel, yawn-
ing, and found each village drearier
than the last.
The train passed between fields OF
wheat. Just the color to trim my
hat with" thought the girl.
Wheat" said the man in front of
her to his seat-mate, has gone up a
cent q bushel since last week. That's
a poor crop"
An old man at the back of the car
looked out at the field. His own life,
he thought, had been something like
that field, wide spaces of waste land:
empty; and here and there a little
feeble crop. But the great Reaper
would be merciful in Judgment.
The sun went down in a red glow
of splendor, and one OF two stars
came out in the gray overhead. The
old nan had SO long been used to
refer every sight and sound to his un;
seen Father that the crimson clouds
seemed to him only a curtain with
which He had screened His pres!
ence. H..
HE sets the stars in their places
as on the first night" he thoughts
"He that watches over us neither
slumbers nor sleeps"
The wheat-dealer observed that il
was a fine night, and the young girl
jerked down the shade impatiently
and asked the brakeman to turn up
the wick of the kerosene lamp.
At the next station a man numbered
into the car and sat down. He was
ragged and pale. There was a stale
smell of whisky about him, but the
poor sot was sober just now. He
WINGED when the wheat-dealer hastily
changed his seat.
The young woman, too, told the
conductor sharply that he should not
allow such people to come aboard a
car in which there were ladies.
The old farmer on the back seat
had been thinking Of his Master, Who
had sent him into the world to work;
thinking, too, that the time was
short, and wondering what He would
have him to do now.
When he saw the 'friendless drunk
ard, therefore, he thought, There is
the next duty" And when the train
| stopped the miserable fellow arose to
leave the car. the old man followed
Hhim, and taking him cordially by the
arm, walked away with him, talking
cherfully as to a friend.

The TEMPERANCE PROPAGANDA
CONCERTED ATTACK ON DRINK
WINNING ALL ALONG LINE.
Prohibition VS.. FERMENTATION.

IlOIllDit2o'f 100
In relation to the drink trade, as in
relation to every other evil, there are
lust two main classes Of people, VIZ,
the prohibitionists and the perpetual
tionists.
The former class embraces the
greater portion of u population,
although many Of them have not yet
committed themselves so completely
to the idea of prohibition as to vote
a party ticket, or possibly even TO &C.
knowledge that they are prohibi'
tionists.
There are very few people, how
ever. who do not believe in some de.
gree of prohibition. Even the license
advocates would prohibit sales to
minors, confirmed drunkards q at
unseemly hours. They would also re-
strict license to n year at a time.
They are therefore partial prohibi-
tionists.
The perpetuationists pure and sim
ple are the manufacturers and sellers,
with the confirmed sots, the tipplers
and their sympathizers. These are
they who demand the abiding saloon.
The prohibitionists are reformers,
and the genuine reformers are always
prohibitionists. :,
It was through prohibition that
slavery was abolished. The aboli-
tionists were the party %agitators.
1t was prohibition that abollsned
the Louisiana lottery, race track
gambling in New York, polygamy In
Utah, and such like. Perpetuationists
never prohibit.
Somebody says that "1the first pro-
hibitory law was passed in the Garden
of Eden" and the second was dropped
down on Mt. Sinai: "Thou shalt not
The latest ~prohibitory laws are
those just entered upon the civil
statute books. All laws that are
worth anything are prohfbttory IN
their nature and the men who enact
them are to that extent prohibition
lists. Society cannot get along with
out thus recognizing the prohibitory
principle. e..
Our pure food laws are prohibitory.
Society is waking up to the idea O,
doing away with stuff that hurts peo'
ple. They will prohibit all saloon
stuff DON or later.
There is one liquid on earth thai
will auench thirst. There Is plenty
of it, and it can be kept pure. None
Of the artificial drinks can compare
with it. And by and by all beverages
that tend to injure boys and unmake
men will be put under the ban. Colo
water is good enough for anybody

with a fellow teetotalers Sir Wilfrid's
Lawson that we'll illustrates that
ready wit for which he is so justly
famous.
When engaged in a conversation
with a fellow teetotaler, Sir iWlfrid's
companion took occasion to denounce
the practice of christening vessels
with champagne prior to their launch.
a don't know that I altogether agree
with YOU" replied Sir Wilfrid; for
to my mind there is a good tenn
a lesson to be found in it"

A Portal to Shame.

Many saloons are III close connec.
ton with houses Of assignation, while
others are well-known rendezvous for
prostitutes, and have a distinct pa
tronage on that account. Through
: their portals the young and innocent
are enticed into a life of shame.
What other institution raises its
hand with such desecrating erect
against the sanctity Of the Sabbath
and the sanctuary of the Lord? God
decreed the Sunday to be a day OF
rest and worship; the saloon makes
it a day of ~rlotous drinking and bias
phemous dissertation of the doctrines
and practices of religion. "The back
door of the saloon on a Sabbath
morning admits the law-breaker, the
iIebriate, men who commit the crimes
and the sins-who degrade public
morals, who desecrate divine iordi-
nances, who pollute also m virtue
and happiness Of the home"
From whatever point OF view,
therefore, we examine the saloon we
cannot escape the conclusion that its
influence is bad, almost irredeemably
so. AS an institution it is a menace
to society in every sense OF the WORD.
Against this monster eyil-the Amer
lean Saloon System-what can the
Catholic Church do if she is loyal to
her professed principles but raise her
hand in opposition and put herself on
record as an answering antagonist?
She has always regarded intemper-
ance as so serious a sin that it ex-
cludes from Heaven those ;7ho are
guilty Of it. Hence she looks upon
tho saloon-the foster parent of
drunkenness, the nurserJ Of intern
peranee-as one. of her greatest foes.

grace in human souls, an arch enemy
with whom there can be no sembiance
of a compromise.--ev. James NJ.
