Unfahering fathers who made tho day

deeds succeeded,
Comes there not a voice from your lips
Of clay

When Privilege fats at the public purse,
When Rights are pillaged. or starve un-

Then sooner or later, for better or worse,
Another Fourth-of-July Is needed.
When the peoples tribunes faint the law
Till the stream runs rank and poison
weeded,
When they pilfer the wheat and leave us
straw,
Another Fourth-of-July Is needed.
When the treadmill prisons the child of

Wherever such shadow blights the soil
Another Fourth-of-July is needed.
While a race still drinks Of the bitter
cup
And the earth with the victims bones
Is seeded,
The cry Of the blood-blotched stones goes
up
That another Fourth-of-July is needed.
For tho fearless fathers who made the

"Well. sir they say I'm crooked ~
William Porter, president of the Clark
son National Bank, tipped back his swivel
chair and watched the effect Of his dec
laration on the young man who sat talk
ing to him.
That's said of every successful man
nowadays. isn't it," asked John Saxton
They say I'm crooked, repeated Por-
ter, with narrowing of the eyes, but
they don't say it very loud, and | guess
they don't any Of them want to have to
prove it. I'm afraid those Boston friends
Of yours have given us up as a bad lot,
and they've sent you out here to get their
money, and | don't blame them. Well,
sir; that moneys got to come out in
time, but its going to take time and
money TO get it,
Il believe they sent me because l had
plenty of time" said SaXton, smiling.
We'll. we want to you you win out, "
ret. .rned Porter And now what can
do to start you off? | warn you solemn
ly against the hotels in this town; but
we've got a fairly decent club up here,
and you'd better stay there till you get
acquainted. Just look over the papers
till | get rid of these letters and I'll be
free"
Porter turned to his desk. There was
an air of great alertness in his small,
lean figure as he pushed buttons to sum
mon various members OF the clerical force
and rapidly dictated tersa kilograms and
letters to a stenographer. Saxton was
impressed by the bankers perfect conf
dence and ease.
John Saxton had been sent to Clarkson
by the Neponset Trust Company Of Bos-
ton to represent the interests of a group
of clients who had made rash investments

The Clarkson National Bank had been

one OF the investors told his fellow suf-

Methods That Have Greatly simpIi-
fed the Caring for the Dead.
Modern methods Of undertaking now
call for the highest possible skill in
embalming and arranging every detail
of burial.
From the old methods of placing a
body on ice, with its attendant insani-
tary conditions, the undertaken has
reached high point Of perfection in
embalming. the New York sun says
but not content with the advanced
methods experiments are now under
way which will, it is cOntended. make
it unnecessary even to make any in
cisiOn in a body when the embaming
process is being performed.
One of the most advanced undertake
ers in this country says that within
the next five years it will be possible TO
embalm by placing the body in an air
tight chamber and by subiccting it TO
n pressure OF the gases Of certain en-
baIming materials to perform the work
which is now done by injecting fluids
into the veins.
Several firms i'm New York and other
large cities have done much to relieve
families OF the very troublesome work
which follows death I'm small houses,
boarding houses or hotels by fitting mp
chapelS where bodies are taken until
ready for burial. Embaming is done
in the establishment. burial clothes are
furnished and watchers if required.
These firms also have clprgymen to
perform services, lawyers to attend 10
wills or insurance papers.

Street Second for the last time, and
dispersed his men. He was on his
way home to supper. Going by the
Crosspatch Mans house, he heard
voices distinctly issuing from an open
window. He couldn't help hearing, 1t
was so quiet In the street. Perhaps 1T
was the 1ull before the storm"
THE sahib cannot bear 1t" gentle,
soothing voice was saying but Mere
dit recognized the indignation mixed
with the pity in 1t. THE sahib will
be again sick"
Then came Merediths astonishment,
for the Crosspatch Mans voice was
answering, and 1t was quite calm and
gentle; and 1t said:
"Of course I shall be sick again,
Hari! I've made all my plans to per-
ish. But what can you expect? The
little chaps must have their Fourth
O. July. I was a little chap myself
once. Shut the window, Hart. There's
a suspicion Of draught."
. Meredith stood still in sheer amaze
ment, and watched the turban-man
close the window He was little chap
himself once, the Crosspatch Man was,
And how kind his voice had sounded
not bit crosspatchy. Then Meredith
remembered how weary and full of
pain it had sounded. too. 1t made
him sorry for the Crosspatch Man,
sorrier than he had ever been before
Hes a-dreadin' 1t like sixty. He's
'spectin' to perish, Meredith said
aloud. It's goin' to make him sick
of course-that's what he said to the
turban-man An he was little chap
once, an his voice was kind an tired
out"
Then Meredith went home and
perched himself up on the banister
post in the hall, to think. That was
where he always thought things-big
things, you know. This was, oh, my,
such big thing,
I'm cap'n," mused Meredith, knit
ting his little fair brows. Il can say,
Go, an thou ghost like the man in
the Bible; but they'll be dreadful dis
pointed, the Rudd Street Seconds will
be. Still-well, he's sick an he had
kind spot in his voice, an he used to
be little chap, too, so of course he
used to bang things an make noises.
| don't think he sounded much like a
Crosspatch Man.
In a little while, after a little more
tough thinking, Meredith slipped down
and out Of the door, up the street. He
got together the Rudd Street Seconds
and made a little speech. as a captain
may, to his men.
The next day the city and all Amer
lea celebrated Fourth O. July, and
Rudd Street was famous again, but
this time for being the very quietest
street in all the city. There were just
as many boys in it, too, as ever.
The Crosspatch Mans white, ner-
vous face smoothed and calmed as the
day wore on, and at last it actually
smiled in a gentle way, as if he was
thinking about something pleasant.
And the captain of the Rudd Street
Second and his brave men, drilling
and popping and banging in distant
street, were happy, too.-Youth's Com
panion.

of type of people and phase OF
life we'll worth a closer acquaint-
ance.
It's crisp, forceful delineation
of the career Of William Parker,
a prosperous banker and pro-
moter, whose beautiful daughter,
EVELYN, is the heroine of the
story. John Saxton, an enter
prising Bostonian, is sent west
to close up some ranch and other
investments for Massachusetts,
trust company. This brings him
in contact with varied types of
humanity all of whom play an
interesting part in a plot involv-
ing the manipulation of a traction
line, the kidnapping of the bankers
child and other events which go
to make up an intensely graphic
narrative.
The MAIN CHANCE is a ro-
nance of youth, of love, and of
success honestly won. 1t is
buoyant, yet full of pathos,
wholesome humor, convincing
realism, admirable diction and
bright sayings. Added to this is
a rare, common sense touch that
shows the practical side of real
western life.

MEMORIES OF THE FOURTH.

Have you ever mused, In silence, upon q
summers day,
And let your thoughts run riot, and your
feelings have full sway,
As you sprawled full-length upon the grass
In some secluded dell
And breathed the balmy country air. and
smelt the country smellf
And as you muse,
And gently snooze.
Between thinks,
You remember those jinks,
When spirits were high
On the Fourth Of July.

MI-O-NA
RELIEVES STOMACH MISERY AL
MOST IMMEDIATELY

If the food you ate at your last meal
did not digest, but laid for a long
time like lead on your stomach, then
you have indigestion and must act
quickly.
Of course there are many other
symptoms of indigestion, such as
belching up of sour food, heartburn,
dizziness, shortness of breath and foul
breath, and if you have any of them,
your stomach is out of order and
should be corrected.
Mi-o-na tablets have cured thou
sands of cases of indigestion and
stomach trouble. If you have any
stomach distress, Mi-o-na will relieve
instantly.
But Mi-o-na unlike most so-called
dyspepsia remedies, does more than
relieve; it permanently cures dyspep-
sia or any stomach trouble by putting
energy and strength into the walls of
the stomach.
4 large box of Mi-o-na tablets costs
but so cents at Hanson & Emerson
and is guaranteed to cure or money
back. When others fail, Mi-o-na
cures. 1t is producer of flesh when
the body is thin; it cleanses the stom-
ach and bowels; purities the blood and
makes rich red blood.

Swan Saved Pigeon From Drowning.
While some children were recently
feeding the swans at the lake a
pigeon alighted quite close to theEl
and one Of the boys attempted to cap
ture 1t, but it flew of over the lake
toward a swan and apparently was
about to settle on its back, instead OF
which it closed its wings quite natur.
ally and dropped into the water close
In front of the swan and commenced
to struggle.
The swan went to assist it, put its
head under the water and lifted the
drowning pigeon into the air. The lat.
ter then made almost a circuit Of the
lake, eventually resting on the island.

LOGGERS ARE HAPPY
The Are Having a Good Winter in
the Woods and Expect Coed
Prices for Their Product

Logging operations in the northwest
are now at high tide, and the condi
tions are ideal, says the Duluth News
Tribune. The output of logs this
winter will be about double that OF
last winter, and about 50 per cent OF
the cut two winters ago.
The lumbermen look for large de
mand for their product before the emf
of the year, but the tariff tinkers are
at work in Washington and the de-
mand may not become very general
after they are done.
1t is assumed, of course, that con-
gress is not going to do anything that
will injure any American industry
and lumber is one of those that are in
the limelight, but there is always a
chance that some error may be COM
mitted and in the meantime the in
dustry is in something of q waiting
attitude.
The loggers state that crews are
easily maintained this winter. Jobs
are not so plentiful that all man has
to do is to hurry to the next camp and
get.a raise of pay and more kinds of
pie than at the old place, as was the
case for few winters up to two years
ago, and the men are holding their
jobs jealousy. There is enough snow
and not too much to make logging
conditions good. The extreme cold of
the early part OF January froze the
swamps and the interior lakes So hard
that teams can go anywhere with
heavy loads. The ice roads are easily
kept i'm excellent condition. Thewin-
ter is ideal for the logging industry.

LENTEN SEASONS BY REQUEST.
From page l

Pontiff suggesting as such sacrifice
abstinence from intoxicating drinks.
FAST OUTSIDE THE LENTEN SEASON
The days of fast and abstinence oc-
curing outside the Lenten Season dur
ing the year are the Ember days and
the Vigils of Holy days. The Vigils
will be: The Vigil of Pentacost, that
of the assumption, that of All Saints,
and that of Christmas.
All Fridays are, of course days of
abstinence.
The Pontifical Indult, of which we
have spoken, exempts working peo-
pie" from abstinence on Vigils and
Ember days, except when such Vigils
and Ember days fall on Friday; and
on such days the Indult also exempts
from abstinence, in the same condi-
tions as for the Lenten Season, the
members of the household of the
wage-earner.
Pastors will make to their flocks in
the usual terms due announcements
of approaching Ember days and Vigils
adding to such announcements a
statement of the privileges given by
the Indult to working people,.
GENERAL REMARKS
When doubt exists as to whether
ones condition or circumstances al
low exemption from the precept, of
fast and abstinence, counsel should
he asked from confessors or pastors,
who are the authoritive interpreters
of the law, and who are even empow-
cred, in special cases, for good and
sufficient reasons, indicated in Catho-
lie theology, to commute the precepts
of fast and abstinence to other peni-
tenial work. -.,-.
In enjoining upon the faithful fast
and abstinence, Holy Church makes
a practical application of the evange-
lical law of self-denial, of which the
Savior and his apostles were, by ex-
ample and by word, such eminent
teachers. Without self-denial there
is no Christianity. Indeed, without
self-denial there is no natural moral
ity. The man who has not acquired
by habit the power of self-restraint
will not be victorious over sin, amid
the storms and temptations of life
which all men must encounter.
The observance of the fast and alb
stinence prescribed by the Church is
taken by the world as public and
fearless profession OF, Catholic faith.
He who, without sufficient and obyi-
Gus reasons, eats meat or takes his
usual meals when abstinence or fast
is enjoined, is not accepted as prac-
tical Catholic.
Let Catholics have the courage of
self-denial for the sake of Christ and
of their own souls, and be on their
guard lest by their acts scandal be
given, and the fair name of their re-
ligion be dishonored.
During Lent pastors will hold at
appointed times in their several
church appropriate exercises of de-
votion, and will give to the faithful
instructions of practical nature up
on the articles of the creed, the COM
mandments and the sacaements.
The devotion of the Way of the
Cross will be observed, in all churches
and chapels, on the. Friday evenings
throughout Lent.

HEAR REELFooT WITNESSES.
Belief Is That Trouble Would Cease
If Lake Was Free.

1t was the opinion of the five witnesses
who testified before the legislative COM
mittee named to report on the bill maxi
ing Reelfoot Lake, the cause of the re-
cent Nightrider depredations, public
game and fish preserve, that the mar
ket fishermen and hunters would be
willing to pay the State for the priyi-
lege and that all contention would cease
as soon as the control of this privilege
passed out of the hands of the West
Tennessee Land Company. A short
business meeting was held Monday after
noon by the directors of the land COM
pany, but nothing was given out.
The witnesses were also questioned in
regard to the value of the resources of
the islands situated in the lake and de-

the fishing industry.
