olics among his followers is evident.
He said:
II hope ever to see America among /
the foremost nations in examples Of
Justice and liberality; and I presume
that your fellow citizens will not for-
get the patriotic part which you tools
in the accomplishment Of their revo-
luton and the establishment of their
government. or in the important as
sistance they received from a. nation
in which the Roman Catholic faith Ia !
professed. May the members Of your
society in America, animated alone by
the true spirit Of Christianity, and still
conducting themselves as the faithtuf
subjects Of q free government, enjoy
every temporal and spiritual felicity
And in his farewell address, which
every American ought to read at least
twice a year, Washington said: with
slight shades Of difference, you have
the same religion. manners, habits and
political principles. You have, in
common cause, fought and triumphed
together; tho independence and lib
erty you possess are the work of Joint
councils and joint efforts-of common
dangers. sufferings and successes"
The period between the close of the
war and the beginning of the national
period was one in which the differ
ences of opinion in regard to the fu-
ture policies of the nation were wide.
Under the articles of confederation,
the position Of the federal government
was not closely defined, and the con-
stitutional convention which promul-
gated the constitution of the United
States were embarrassed by much op-
position. And after the convention
submitted the constitution for ratifl-
cation by the states, several years
elapsed before nine of the colonies
agreed to the provisions, and much
bitter hostility to the encroachments
Of the federal authority over the
states was manifested. When the time
came for selecting q presiding ofncer.
Washington was the unanimous
choice. and he took up the duties and
responsibilities, aided by others whose
experience in life made their counsel
valuable even II their experience IN
statecraft was as limited as his own.
In this way Catholics as we'll as Prot.
estants figured, as they have through
out tho entire history of the nation.
Only ignorance Of the part played by
members Of the Catholic Church can
possibly account for the unreasoning
attitude of some anti Catholics, and
this ignorance is excusable only be-
cause Of the unfair presentation Of
the facts of history in the public
schools. Some day, it is to be hoped
that history of the United States
will be written in which due credit
will be given to Catholics, or at least
that their deeds will not be obscured
in the presentation. What Catholics
have done for America makes some oe
the brightest pages in the story Of
our national life.

John Saxton was a good deal the worse
for wear as he swung himself from a
sleeper in the Clarkson station and bolt
ed for a downtown car. Coal mining is
a dirty business, and there are limits to
the things that can be crowded into a
suitcase. He had been crawling through
fou r. foot veins Of Kansas coal in the in
terest of the Neponset Trust Company,
and had been delayed a day longer than
he had expected. He continued to be in
a good deal Of a hurry after he reached
his Office. and he kicked aside the mail
which rustled under the door as he open
ed it, and knelt hastily before the safe

Split Ends of Hair.

It is essential for the proper
growth of the hair that the split end,
should be clipped of with the scissors.
The easiest way to do this is to sep
arate the hair into strands, going to
work at it Systematically, beginning
at the front on one side and taking
one strand after another around to
the front Of the other side. Twist
each strand tightly and the hairs Of
different length will stand out so that
they may be easily clipped. This 10
better than smuggling the hair by means
of lighted tapers passed quickly along
the strand, so that the hairs which
stand out will be burned of. Unless
this is done by one who is an expert
the other hairs will become burned
and the hair will become uneven.
