IN the stern sat the throng of gaily
dressed gentlemen and ladies, and as
the boat moved through the glorious
scenery of the Highlands some one
struck up 'Ye Banks and Braes Of
Benny Doom said to have been Full
toms favorite song, appropriate
enough from the lips of the members
of the Scottish Fulton and Livingston
families upon Americas most bonnv
river"
Here we find slyly inserted false
hood which appears to be as deliber.
ate as amusingly futile, if the young
woman knows anything about her al 7.
legged great-grandfather, and which
she must have known had she the
slightest familiarity with American
biography. The Livingstons were Il
family of Scotch origin which inter-
married with the Dutch; they were a
distinguished and honorable family,
which did splendid service for colony
and republic, and Scotland may we'll
be proud of them. Robert Fulton mar
ried Harriet Livingston. a daughter Of
Walter Livingston and Corne!ia
Schuyler; but Fulton was Irish not
Scottish, his family having emigrated
from Kilkenny in the early part Of
the eighteenth century: and his affec-
ton for, and sympathy with, the land
OF his fathers was evidenced by his
friendship for and interest in the po-
met. That Fulton or any other man
should love the Banks and Braes OF
Benny Doom" is natural; the beauty
and tenderness of its music and sentt-
ment touch all hearts; but if mans
taste for song is to be the index of
his blood, none of us is safe.
Why the fame and nationality of {"
great man should be stolen from Ire
land and transferred to Scotland these
ridiculous writer's of the school of per-
version may know and understands; we
confess we don't. Scotland has no
need of such dubious service; she rests
her glory as Ireland does, upon the
real work and achievement of her
own sons. and that is sufficient

Pope Never Heard Of Eliot.

\ Even many of the Catholic papers
~ America have published a silly
telegram from Rome announcing that
s"the Pope is preparing a reply to DR..
Eliot's exposition of the religion of the
future" and that it is to be published
in the Civilta Cattolica, etc. The
story reminds one Of the repeated
paragraphs which used to appear q:
the liberal papers of Italy last year
concerning the differences" and CON
troversy," the negotiations" between
the Holy Father and a little ecclesi-
astic in Italy who was going to the
dogs at the time, and has since gone
to them, says Rome" No doubt DR..
Eliots name makes something of ga
echo in the United States, but you
could hardly catch it with the most
powerful megaphone anywhere else,
and there does not seem to be the
slightest reason why Father Brandt of
the Civilta Cattolica, to say nothing
at all Of the Head of the Universal
Church. should begin to batter down
a brown butterfly with his sledgc-
hammer. The fact is, the Pope had
never heard of DR.. Eliot, nor read his
theory of the new religion, as out
lined by him some months ago.

Germans Are LOYAL,

milwaukee Is one of the most strik-
Ing examples of what large percent
age of German citizens can do for a
community" said Hugo G. Schlinger OF
New York, in the Hotel Pfster. Mr.,
Schlinger is the New York representa-
tive of one of the large German ex-
porting houses says the Milwaukee
Sentinel.
Although I am not we'll acquainted
here, have noticed German names
among boards of bank directors, off,
GERS of large mercantile houses and
other positions of trust and promin-
ence.
1.-THE Germans emigrating to this
country have always regarded it AS
their duty to be good American citi-
zens and to make the best use, for the
benefit of their adopted country, of
all those accomplishments obtained
through study and application in the
schools of Germany.
mo one can say that the German
has ever stood back in the fulflllment
of his duties to this country. His
name is to be found on every page OF
history.

The Real Monks.

A quarter OF a century ago "Ha'-
per's Magazine" was pretty we'll filled
with those fat, lazy monks" so COM
mon in the fiction and essay of tn I,
period. Today editors of that period
ical are actually seeing the monks Of
old as they really existed, says the
New World.
The scholars Of the world are quick
to admit that ancient literature was
saved by the monks, but in a recent
issue Of "Harper's" Ernest Cushing
Richardson. PhD., librarian of Prince
ton university, enlightens the readers
of that periodical as to the fact. With
solemn finger Mr.. Richardson points
to the church and monastic libraries
of the Middle Ages as by virtue Of
their number, quality, permanence and
especially of their dominating influ-
ence on library architecture and meth
cd. the true types Of the period and
the actual ancestors of the libraries
of today. He then transports the
reader to the thirteenth century, and
examines with him great monastery
having all the elements of the library
practice of the time. He describes
the library, the copying of manuscripts
in the writing room and the practi-
cal interest in hooks dianla yc1
throughout the whole of the precincts.
In summing up he observes:
ITO the monk is due the most part
of what we know of ancient litera-
ture. They kept and copied when no
one else did. When vandals and
Vikings drove them from their monas-
teries they left everything else, but
loaded themselves down with their
books. In later days it was not the
monks neglect. but the vandalism n
their prosecutors which destroyed A,

PRAYERS for the paad.

Prayers for the Dead.
"A Plain Man." in the London Sat-
urday Review, speaks his mind in re-
lation to prayers for the dead and
shows how the practice appeals to the
reason of one not a Catholic He
says:
l speak instinctivey. l do not pro-
fess to know the theology of the mat
ter; but I am sure that the man rr
woman who has any Christian belief
at all would pray for the dead as a
matter of course, if there were no
prejudice. But l find most English
people saying, That's what the Rom
an Catholics do" or "Protestants 10
not pray for the dead" l do not quar-
rel with either proposition, but neith-
er seems to have anything to do with
the matter. Surely the question 10,
rs it good to pray for the dead?" lf
1t is, Roman Catholics doing 1t can
not make it bad. any more than It
can make it good if in itself it is bad
I am not Roman Catholic. and 1 am
a real person Gas the editor of this
Review knows) l approach the mat
ter simply as man, a SOUL
] think it may be taken as admitted
that no Anglican can be accounted
disloyal because he prays for the deal.
Still more certainly. he could not be
accounted disloyal because he did not
pray for them. So far is he from be-
Ing in any way encouraged to do 80
by anything in the Prayer book. that
1t might almost be said that implicit
ly. though not explicitly, the Church
of England excludes prayers for tho
dead. The burial service
takes you with the dead to the grave
yard: ashes to ashes dust to dust"
there, so far as all touch. all COM
munion with him whose mere mortal
body they are burying. it ends, Not
a prayer for him. He crosses the bar.
and not prayer goes after him: he
sets out for the undiscovered country.
and they do not even wish him bon
voyage Excluding all prayer for him
whose body is buried, the Church Of
England is obliged to include all alike
In 1.-The certain hope of a joyful resur-
rection." 1t is right that the benefit
OF the doubt should be given to the
dead: none the less there is al, unreal
1ty that sometimes jars in assuming
saintship of notorious ill livers \
single prayer commencing the dead to
God would save all this.
Logically, how can we do without
prayer for the dead? They live ana
nothing that lives can be independent
of God: and IL not independent ot
God, they are a reasonable subject of
prayer, to God What ,;r-
ference can it make whether the son,
lis living here in the body or elsc-
where? To suggest that prayer is OF
force only on one particular planet Is
to reduce it to an absurdity. There
Is theological explanation to this
effect; if lost. prayer is useless: II
saved, superfluous. Passing the lot OF
the lost, it is really blasphemous to
say the saved do not need our pray.

FOUR ELEVATORS AND FIFTH BE-
ING BUILT EXCEEDS LOUIS
VILE IN CAPACITY.
100000 BU. GRAIN
Can Be Stored--Grain Men Alive
Waqing Contest For Fair Rates
For All Ohio River
Points.

Cairo's grain men expect big bus
| mess this year While the crops ir
| this immediate vicinity are seriously
damaged by the flood, which will be
felt injuriously by Cairo business men
in other lines, the grain men look
farther away for Their business and
expect to get godly share of the
fine crops that are being gathered
in other sections, although the volume
will not be as great as ii was the year
before the depression set In when
seventeen thousand cars We're
handled here
Cairo has now four elevators: The
Illinois Central or Cairo Elevator, the
Halliday Elevator, the Magee
elevator. the Cairo Milling Company
This lewood & Co. II has now a total
elevator capacity of 100000 bushels,
considerably greater than that of
Louisville. The recent change in the
management of the Cairo elevator in
which the Armour Co. became its les
sees is expected 10 benefit Cairo
greatly, as previously stated in an in
teryiew with one of Cairo's leading
grain men because the ArmOur's are
in the grain business in more legIt-
innate way than were the former les
sees, and will draw business here that
the other firm did not; also because
the Armour's can command fair treat
ment for Cairo in the matter Of rail-
road rates, by reason OF their intimate
connection with the railroads. The
Armour's have already men in the
field buying wheat for shipment TO the
Cairo elevator.
Speaking of rates a grain man said
necessary to proven, unfair discrim-
ination by transportation companies
in favor of some particular point in
which they were especially interested.
Right now contest is being made by
grain men along the Ohio river,
against a reshipping charge at Nash
vile which is grossly unfair to all
Ohio river points and results in draw
ing heavy shipments TO that point
which belong to the Ohio river By
right of natural advantage, but which
go To the Tennessee river because of
this artificial advantage gwen to it
by the railroads centering there. The
matter has been taken to the Inter.
state Commerce Commission for adj.
judication and a decision abrogating
this switching advantage at Nashville
is confidently expected, which will
put Cairo and all other Ohio river
points in the position to which they
are entitled.
