A POETS TRIBUTE
To the Memory Of a Famous Author
and Traveller.

In compliment to the living and the
dead, the following touching tribute to
the memory of the late Charles Warren
Stoddard is reprinted from the San
Francisco Chronicle, of which Charles
Phillips, formerly Of New Richmond,
Wis, is the editor:
1t is remarkable thing how Death,
the Unsuitable, is never satisfied with
one great soul day. Time and again
men have noted how the best and high
est are taken not sngly, but in groups;
as if Heavens ranks were grown sud-
denly needful of earth's fairest leaders,
"Modjeska and Crawford" VIC cried:
AMI now it is Stoddard, Stoddard the
beloved, the gentle poet, the master of
beautiful prose. Yes, another of the
worlds greatest men. another of that
all too small army of truly Catholic
teachers and writer's, is taken away. We
could i'll spare him. We needed him.
AS a. writer. Stoddard had gifts that
We're truly great. and indeed unusual.
For, while a perfect stylist, an inter-
prefer of the exquisite. master of pen
that touched unequalled heights Of
splendid throbbing beauty; yet he was
possessed of an inimitable humor-

wells called it. it kicked it's flashing
heels always SO suddenly and unexpect-
edly--a humor which balanced perfect
ly his most fervid writing. That same
humor worked it's saving grace in his
life. always relieving that poetic mel
ancholy which was his heritage from
the uncounted stars and the unsound-
ed deeps-the heritage of all poets OF
all times. No writer in the English
language has surpassed Stoddard's best
flights: his diction Is perfect, the es-
sence of flowing music: his imag gerry ex-
quisite, strong, never weak, yet never
flambuoyant. His touch is all delicacy
and f1nesse. His writings will live as
long as literature exists, perfect exam
pies of pure English prose and verse. It

A Gaelic sallutation.

Canon Courtenay Moore, Protest
ant rector Of ,Michelstown, Cork. has
an interesting letter m si'ia a recent issue
Of the Guardian of London. in the
course of which he says:
Il have been told by all Irish solicit
or, member of the Roman communion
that a distinguished English Non-con-
formist on tour in Ireland. went to
Mass in Killarney. and when the Host
was elevated he heard "a poor Kerry
peasant saying dcvoutly, Caed Mile

to the meaning Of the sentence, and
when it was explained to him he was
so deeply affected hy it that he went
over to Rome i'm consequence. ] can
not give the date of the incident, nor
can I offer any opinion as to the prev
alence of repeating this most devout
and touching Irish formula by Irish
speaking people when assisting at
Mass. To judge from Provost Balls
letter, it was apparently conglega-
tional act in Gaelic speaking districts
some half century or so ago. The re-
vival Of the study Of Irish may tend
to preserve and revive this touching
national and original feature of pure
ly Irish worship. But the origin of
the phrase connects it with a sall,ta-
ton specially for Christmas Day and
as such it has existed in Ireland for
many centuries. I will make Inquiries
as to it's non-rubrical use in tho serv-
ice of the Mass from my old Irish
speaking parishioner and friend.
Il may add that the following ira
dition is current among the Irish Ro-
man Catholic peasantry in Munster:

is something to say of man that he
has added imperishable treasures not
only to the literature of a nation, but
of the world.
Stoddard was one of the few great
American poets. This statement may
seem exaggerated, in the face of the
fact that only one volume of poems
has appeared from his pen, and that
forty years ago. But the world will yet
see the wonderful fruition of those long
years of seeming silence, a, voluntary
silence which is perhaps unique in the
history of letters. All the beauty and
loveliness of Gods earth Stoddard dear
ly loved, and he did not cease to sing
of it. His senses were attuned to ev-
cry exquisite sight and sound. He was
given the gift Of interpreting these
earthly foretastes Of eternal beauty,
and he sang, as the song bird, for the
love Of song. The voice of the sea,
the wind, the light Of sunny and cf
SlafuL SKIES, the DedutV OF mountains
and running waters, and above all, the
heart-beats Of friends-all these echoes
Of the voice of God struck the vibrant
chords of his being and awoke music,
music which he gave back in re-
echoing beauty, not only in writing, but
in living. The key to his whole career
is found in those four little lines of his
Gospel of Autumn
10, as the prophet heard
Of old, I clearly hear
From every burning bush. Gods word
Outspoken to mine ear.
AS a man-All, how can the lonely
friend write of that loving man, so gen.
tie, SO fond, SO simple, so childlike?
Tears! tears are the gifts we bring;
yet thank God. note is sounded more
joyful than earthly triumphs: He was
good and holy man, and "he has not
gone from us, but before us"
God rest his gentle soul!

An EventfuI Career.

Mr.. Lundon. M. F., whose death oc-
Cured recently, was an accomplished
linguist, and was one of the old type
OF classical teachers. He was an earn
est and active Fenian, who carried his
gun in the 81 Rising. He was an en-
tlusiastic Land Lacquer and suffered
imprisonment for his political prin-
ciples. He had in fact, AS he often re-
suit Of the attention he received from
the government of the day. and come
over to London, where he eluded the
vigilance Of the authorities, and later
on escaped to America. He was A. close
friend Of Parnell's in the hey-day of
the Irish leaders, career, and had pre-
viously been associated with the Ma
tional movement under Butt.
AS a professor Of languages, he was
most successful. and the majority OF
the clergy in Mr.. Lundon's native do
cese passed through his courses Of in
struction in the classics. He was an
excellent conversationalist in several
languages. and was a fine Irish scholar.
Once, during debate in the House Of
Commons on the Gaelic language, he
dropped into Irish. and. resuming his
English few minutes later, he told
the astonished members of both British
parties that he had been reciting the
first two verses OF "Who Fears IT,
Speak OF 49," in Irish. He also figured
prominently in the famous scene in the
House Of Commons when the police
were called in, and he was one of those
who were carried out. AS he was be-
ing removed, Mr.. Lundon kept shout

A FRIENDLY APPEAL
Of q Methodist Minister Addressed to
Catholics,

The following letter appears In the
Sacred Heart Review from Rev. J. B.
Hemmeon, a. Methodist minister at
Wolfville, Nova Scotia:
1t is strange and lamentable fact
that not one Protestant In ten thou
sand knows the truth about the teach
ing and practice Of the Catholic
Church.
Many do not know that there was
any Christian Church from the first
or second century. until the "Reforma-
ton" or for about Thousand four
hundred years. And they believe that
there was then, virtually. new Rev.
elation.
When person Of common sense
wishes to obtain information about
anything, whether political. religious.
scientific, or it matters not what i,
may be, he goes to headquarters for

who seek to destroy. or who are the
enemies of that which he wishes to
study. Not one Protestant in thou
sands ever seeks information concern
ing the Catholic Church from Catholic
sources. The history of Christianity,
from the apostles to the fifteenth GEN.

theological seminary, nor anywhere
else amongst Protestants, as far as I
know. Nor Is it possessed by Protest.

for the Methodist church, and knew
absolutely nothing of Christianity, or
whether there was any, during this
period. When I awoke to the fact Of
my dense ignorance, felt resentment;

Protestants never think of such d
thing as reading Catholic books. or
periodicals; or anything that smells
of Rome" I never did; and yet was.
of all men, not bigot. 1t is an in.
born and fostered prejudice of many
generations.
But this Is not all. Not only arc
Protestants absolutely ignorant OF
Catholic teaching, practice and his
tory: but they generally believe dis
torted caricature, and call it Roman
ISM"
This is not to be wondered at. This
general source of information being
the protestant Tradition,"-as New
man calls it--handed down from gem
GRAFTON to generation, from pulpit to
pew. and mouth to ear, for four CEN
turies. And coming through such
sources as Maria. Monk" and Chini-
guy, why wonder at the misconcep-
tions?
Now, without saying more, I como
to the purpose for which I write this
letter. viz: appeal to all Catholics to
put forth renewed efforts to make their
faith and practice known to the Prot
estant world. First, by personal inter-
, course. Be prepared to give simple
statement of doctrine and "a reason
of the hope within you," If necessary,
to everyone you meet, when proper
opportunity occurs. Secondly, by cor
recting all ISLANDERS in the press, with
brief explanation Of the question at
issue If possible. Much has been done
this way. Thirdly. by circulating the
Rev. Mr.. Starbuck's letters amongst
Protestant friends and acquaintances.
I hope there will be issued a cheap ed
ition of Mr.. Starbuck's articles and
. that it will be circulated by millions,
to the ends Of the earth!
Our object is simply--without taking
any sidc-to explain just what the
Catholic Church teaches; and leave It
there. For instance: Most Protest.
ants believe that. for money, the Cath
olic Church undertakes to pray any
soul. even out Of hell. into heaven; in
stead of the fact that only truly PEN
itent soul goes to 'purgatory," and can
be helped in the "Beatifc Vision" by
prayer
We live to make peace and good
will OH earth; especially amongst
Christian peoples.

A Contented Farmer

having settled down where he did
after landing in this country from
Germany 40 years ago a POOR man.
After he came West i'm search of a
home on the prairies, Mr.. Koch
made his first halt in Moniteau Co,
near Upton, which is h very fine
farming point. A little later he
made another and final mo, and
located permanently wehre he is
living today. That was in 1869.
With a small beginning he has
managed td accumulate a little
right along until ne now owns a
farm OF $50 acres worth over $50, 900
Yesterday Mr.. Koch marketed a
carload of hogs. These were rails
ed on his W farm, and sold for
o than $1,000. He carries on
farming and cattle and hog feed
ing, and is very prosperous. "Thc
man who owns a farm down in
Central Missouri ought to be con
tented" he said. "If l had known
of a better place I would have
gone there, but l considered that
as good a place as 1 could locate,
SO l just stopped right there, and
I have been there all these years.
The poor man has a great many
things to contend with, and it was
more especially the case with me
as l Sas a green foreigner. Saline
county, and in fact all that part
of the state down there, is now
very prosperous. Our farms have
been advancing in value very fast
recently, and now sell around
500 to $3.50 an acre. Since we
got up on our feet, and finished
improving farms, we have had
rather easy sailing. But we had
the hard spell and trials as we'll

SO much about. Today there
is no excuse for a farmer failing,

demand for all farm products, and
high prices on everything, make up
a good combination" -Drover's
