WHY TRAPPIsT MONKS
Received d Check From a Doubling
Millionaire.

Charles Grattan writes in the Boston
Republic about the Trappists of Mount
Melleray, ireland.
OF the guests who come and 60"
ne says. none are asked to contribute
anything towards their entertainment,
If they give an offering it is thankfully
accepted, if they do not the God-speed
that accompanies their departure is
none the less hearty. Once an American
millionaire, hearing of this open-handed
hospitality Of the Trappists, refused to
believe it. He even bet a large sum
with friend that he would prove it to
be untrue. Then, in due course, he Wis
tied the monastery, remaining there
some weeks and asking every day for
the most expensive things procurable.
when he departed all he left behind was
his thanks. Twice he returned to the
monastery, receiving each time the
same welcome, and leaving it in the
same manner. After his last visit he
wrote two letters-one to his friend,
acknowledging that the bet was fairly
lost, and the other to the Abbot. telling
nm the story and enclosing a check"

As Good as He Sent.

At a recent meeting of the directors
of an eastern railroad, a prominent
railroad man repeated {, story that he
just had from a conductor on one Of
the limited expresses between New
York and the vest.
1t seems that a dapper chap in the
first chair car had managed to be-
come unusually friendly with an at
tractive young woman in an adjoining
seat. When the train pulled into Buff
falo, the masher, in taking leave of the
less, remarked:
DO you know. I must thank you
for an awf'lly. awf'lly pleasant time;
but I'm afraid you wouic not have
been so nice to me had you known
that l was Il married man.
"Oh, as to that" quickly and pleas
antly responded the charming young
woman. you haven't the least advan
tage of me. l am an escaped lunatic."

pie. At the present time, however, only
small part of the church is used for
worship, the other portions having been
converted into barracks by the govern
ment.
Owing to the great height and thick
ness of the walls of the church. it has
been used for fort on any and every
occasion when necessary. No wars,
however marred the serenity of the
early Dominicans, and each year saw
the church increasing in wealth. The
library was ranked among the greatest
in the republic. The interior was deco
rated in many places with pure gold.

"FAULTLEssLY LOGICAL"

A Protestant writer. opposing dog
matte utterances outside the Church
says in the st. John Sun:
The original essence of Protestant
ism was protest against clerical author
ity--againSt the claim of Pope and
priests to the right and power to in
terpret the Scriptures and to impose
their interpretations in the form of
dogma upon the laity. 1t was a revolt
against ecclesiastical autocracy-a de-
claration of the right of the individual
to read and to think for himself and
to come TO his own conclusions. It's es-
sencc was the principle tnat the honest
convictions Of the individual are for
him the right and the truth. Obvious
ly, then. Protestant churches arrogate
to themselves the same authority
against which they revviled when they,
in turn, set UP fixed Standards of dog
ma and hiss 'Heresy! at those who
venture to disagree. And the so-called
higher critics themselves play the Pope
when they set up their criticism as a
thing of authority and call upon their
less learned brethren to bow down and
worship it,
There is no tenabie middle ground
between the absolute spiritual authori-
ty claimed by the Roman Catholic
Church and the full admission of the
sovereignty of the individual under
standing. Catholicism al least is fault
lessly logical. Granting its premises
divinely appointed and inspired, and
hence infallible church you must adj
NIT it's conclusions to the uttermOst.
But Professionalism founded on the
denial of infallibility in any human
agency, and yet imposing standards of
biblical Interpretation and religious be
liefs. is obviously illogical. In so far as
it hampers individual freedom of
thought and expression in its congrega-
TORS, so far it returns toward the place
it set out from-so far i nullifies the
force of the original protest"

Fer a Happy Death.

Cardinal Newman's prayer for a hap
by death is as follows: "Oh, my Lord
and my Savior. support me in that
hour in the strong arms of Thy Sacra-
ments, and by the fresh fragrance of
Thy consultations. Let the absolving
words be said over me. and the holy oil
sign and seal me. and Thy own Body be
my food and Thy Blood be my sprink-
ling; and let my sweet Mother, Mary,
breathe on me. and my Angel whisper
peace to me, and my glorious Saints
smile upon me: that in them all. and
through them all, l may receive the gift
of perseverance, and die, as l desire
to live. in Thy faith, in Thy Church, in
Thy service, and in love. Amen

Save Us From Motors!

A really pathetic petition has been
drawn up by women of some of the
English villages for presentation to
Queen Alexandra. 1t asks the queen
to protect them from speeding motor
lists. We are sure" the petition re-
cites. your majesty cannot know how
much we suffer from the motor cars.
Our children are always in danger. our
things are spoiled by the dust, we can
not open our windows and our rest is
spoiled by the noise all night" Their
humble request is that the cars be made
to go slow through the villages"

An Irish Representative at the
Vatican,

An odd story has been going the
rounds of the Italian papers, says Rome,
regarding the establishment of diplo-
matte relations between Ireland and the
Holy See. Odd as it is it has the ad-
vantage of an unusually good founda-
| ton, for it was first telegraphed gy the
London correspondent of the CroiX to
his paper, and het gives names and de-
tails with such confidence that it is at
least clear that he did not dream the
Whole thing. What he says is that a
bill is to be introduced into the house of
commons by Lord Curzon to authorize
the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland to send
diplomatic representative to Rome to
represent the British Empire at the
Vatican and that the representative has
been already chosen in Sir TShomas Es-
monde. 1t will be seen that as the re-
port stands it has all the appearance of
cock-and- bull story, for one does not
see just why Lord Lieutenant of Ireland
should be authorized 20 do anything OF
the kind. But the correspondent of the
CroiX may have got the story with a
twist in it, and asj, in spite OF appear
ances, there may be some kind of a
foundation for it we content ourselves
by quoting a note by the well informed
Rome correspondent of the Momento OF
Turin, who declares that he has con-
suited an authoritive person in the Vati-
can on the subject. THE illustrious
person says the correspondent, told
me that he too had realized the import
ance of the dispatch from London. but
added that it is impossible to accept the
story at least IN the terms in which it
has been related. For according to the
existing international law, an English
diplomatic agent to the Pope should
represent the person of the sovereign of
England and not that Of the viceroy, as
all the ambassadors and ministers ac-
credited to a government represent their
state and not their government, what
ever form this may have

them to a hotel whittier they had been
taken by Nine. Krestetz, who proved
to have family property worth $3.50, 900.
Among the woman's papers was a Ger
tlhcate declaring that she was subject
to hts of kleptomania. The case was
accepted as genuine and the court or
dered Nine. Krestetz to pay three times
the price of the stolen goods she had
taken. The. storekeepers each got twice
the price of the things they lost and the
remainder goes to the municipal orphan

THE IDEAL IN BABY BASKET.
OF Wicker, Lined with Mercerlzed
Saline and Covered with
,-.sse--a Paris Muslin.

A fascinating baby basket Just made
for young mother was of wicker,
shallow and oblong. 1t was lined with
mercerized Saline, pink, of high luster,
and covered with Paris muslin, which
is as dainty looking as organdie and
much more durable.
The pink lining was put in plain, but
the muslin was gathered slightly at
top and bottom of the sides, the bot.
tom being plain. Double strips of
inch-wide valenciennes insertion were
arranged across the bottom to form
diamond.
Along each side were pockets of the
muslin gathered at the top on an
elastic and edged with narrow lace.
The fronts of the pockets as we'll as of
the long pin cushion across one end
and the equally long, stiffened cover
with leaves of flannel underneath to
hold safety pins at the other end were
also stripped with insertion in dia-
mond effect.
Where each pocket and cushion
joined the basket the sewing was con-
cealed under fluffy rosettes of pink
baby ribbon.
The rufIle that fell over the sides
was made of straight strips of the
Paris muslin, with an inch-wide hem
at the bottom, and above it eighth of
an inch tucks half inch apart, with
baby ribbon sewed between each tuck.
The ribbon was put on plain, though it
would have been equally pretty II q
