Music at Weddings.

The average music at the average
wedding is an abomination. 1t is en-
tirely out of keeping with the place and
the occasion. Home should be the
scene of laughter and the talk and the
merry-making, with the accompaniment
of light music, rice throwing and the
traditional slipper.
It's the brides day to be sure, but
within the church God reigns supreme;
he is there enthroned upon the altar;
and everything that takes place in his
presence should be solemn and reveren-
tial.
The marches from 'Lohengrin'' and
the Midsummer Nights Dream" have
become a sort of institution. No we'd
ding is complete without them. The
bride must have them, like the baby
his Castoria.
But in the half hour that precedes
the wedding, we gods! what stuff we
have listened to! Offenbach, Strauss,
Planquette, Audran: to keep the guests
enlivened and mindful of the joys Of
the occasion; love songs and scenes
from the operas, to tune their souls in
sympathy with the happy couple. Ghe

The Empty Chair.

clarence Richard Lindner in Leslie's
Weekly)
Just a little black chair with a leather
seat,
Worn and Clipped and scratched,
With a little board rest for two tiny
feet
And a shiny old belt attached.
Drawn close to the table at eventide,
Where a miniature fork and spoon
Lie a battered and denied tray beside,
AS they lay on that fateful noon.
When Sun Fairy sped from her glow
ing home
Down the path of radiant beam,
Lured him away for all ages to toam,
Through the meadows of endless
dreams.
When the blue china clock on the man
tel peals
The notes that were ever his joy,
His mothers warm hand meath the ia
bic feels
For mine, and she whispers, 1.-The
Boy"
For a wonderful moment he's with US
again,
With his wonderful twisted grin,
And his silvery laugh chills our hearts
in pain,
AS if ours were the sun fairy's sin.
The vision fades fast and the dying sun
Casts single last lingering ray,
Where two round pudgy hands, until
prayer was done,
Tightly clasped on the table lay.
Just a little black chair with an empty
seat,
Worn, and Clipped, and scratched,
Where two fat dimpled hands impatient
pulled
At shiny old belt attached.

party of Anglo-Americans at luncheon
at the Ritz. in London.

What's in a Name?

"A feeling of sadness creeps over the
Catholic" says the Catholic Advance,
when he reads In a Kansas paper that
Miss Brady, a member Of the Baptist
church, and Miss Conoway Of the Pres
byterian church, are visiting Miss Nal
lonee. a member of the Episcopal COM
rnunion,' and that Mrs. Cassidee and
her sister-in-law, Mrs. Sullivan, devout
members of the Christian church, are
superintendents Of the Sunday school.
Don't say a word about mixed mar
riages."
What's in a name, you're asking,
Just wait bit and see,
Just take a twist at this Baptist list,
And riddle me out Brady
Miss Conoway, too, is not Jew
But a child Of old John Knox,
And MaIlonee, Miss, just think OF this,
Belongs to the Martyr Fox
Miss Cassidee comes,
With the roll of drums,
From a Christian church down there,
And holds by string or under her
wing,
A child Of O'Sullivan Beare-
There is naught in a name,
If it's spelled alright,
But much IL it's twisted wrong
When it seeks to efface grand old
race,
To which such names belong.

My chiIdhood's Prayer.

One thing, my God, I've asked of Thee,
1t was my childhood's prayer,
And tho dark storms have swept my
soul,
One hope is steadfast there!
1t is that I may live for Thee,
From earth's vain joys apart,
And find a home and resting place,
Lord, in Thy Sacred Heart
Oh, If 1 knew there was one chord
In this poor heart of mine
That throbbd with vain and sinful love,
And beat not true to Thine.
I'd break the tie, however dear
Tho long the wound might smart,
For would live, and love, and die,
Lord, in Thy Sacred Heart.
Then to Thy love a captive bind
My soul with letters strong,
For it has borne the sinners chains.
And wept in darkness long,
But now I breathe my childhood's
prayer:
Keep me from sin apart,
Let me abide for evermore,
Lord, in Thy Sacred Heart"

RULERS AND STATESMEN.

The governments of the world today
are far from the ideal of Christian state
hood Through me rulers rule and
statesmen decree justice" says Divine
Wisdom; but very different councillor
is at the right hand of kings today.
Some follow no faith at all; others ar
rogate spiritual headship; while the few
who profess Cathoncity find their eff
forts and influence neutralized by the
open opposition of secret intrigue Of
the goddess.
Yet the burden resting on rulers and
statesmen is one of vast responsibility.
To them is entrusted the welfare of
millions; trade, manufacture, agricul-
ture, education, domestic prosperity and
national honor, all are dependent ulti-
mately on the country'S rulers and
statesmen; and these myriad issues
have to be so har1nonized that temporal
success bring not eternal ruin. Yet
amid the pride of the farmer the latter
is often forgotten. Hence the people
at large, who reap the social blessings
of good government, owe that same
government the gratitude of their
prayers.
None will deny the duty of each citi-
zen to contribute his share to the ceono-
my of the nation: far more are we
bound to give our rulers and statesmen
spiritual assistance. Such help is in the
power of all, and is a duty from which
neither poverty nor employment can
excuse us. Our Holy Father in his
watchful solicitude is reminding US Of
this claim upon our charity. He knows
its Importance, for he is both ruler and
statesman himself; and the very full
ness of his wisdom reveals to him the
wants of fellow rulers. Let us join him
in recommending to our Lord those
whose influence for good or for evil is
60 great.

Etiquette.

The late George w. Harvey, Wash
ington's noted caterer, was an admira-
BILE after dinner speaker. A Washing
ton correspondent recalled the other day
press banquet that Mr.. Harvey once
attended.
"He gave" said the correspondent,
some funny advice to the woman's
page editors present. He suggested
that they brighten up their etiquette
departments by the introduction of
really interesting rules of etiquette.
Then he ratified off a lot of rules,
like this:
Never wear automobile goggles
when riding on an electric car. Our
best people consider it pretentious.
IF some one accidentally treads on
your heel and says I beg your pardon,
make no reply. If you would be
thought true gentleman simply scowl
and pass on.
"a gentleman should never allow a
lady to pay for anything This, of
course, does not refer to the titled hus-
bands of American heiresses.
Never try to alight from a lady's
train when in motion
IF you are a golfer and have bad
luck say 'Deary, deary mel"

Sail, baby, sail; sail, baby, sail.

A Moral Lesson.

Mike Powers, the Athletics catcher
said at a recent baseball banquet in
Philadelphia:
"All the talk there has been in New
York about crooked foot races and
crooked umpires and crooked fights-all
this vague, formless talk about crook
edness makes me think of South Car
DINA meeting once attended.
"At the end of this meeting it was
decided to take up a collection for
charity. The chairman passed the hat
himself. He dropped a dime in it for
a nest egg.
"Well, gentlemen, every right hand
there entered that hat-every right hand
and yet, at the end, when the chair
man turned the hat over and shook it..
not so much as his own contribution
dropped out.
'Fo' de lans sake! he cried. Abs

Called.

A Catholic priest has the clergymen
of all other denominations heavily han
dicapped, for his calling is a vocation.
He never, never thinks of the priesthood
as a profession or a business; it is al
ways surrounded by the vocational at
mosphere. God calls, and the priest
obeys. 1t is a splendid thing, this voca-
tional aspect of the Catholic religious
priest, monk or sister. If, at any time,
a priest should ever begin to look upon
his life work as profession, as some
think like a profession like law, medi-
cine or even teaching, he is lost. Luck
lily, no priest worthy of the name ever
does think so.-Catholic Times.

This church was built in penal times

somewhat relaxed sodalities were es-

weekly communicant. AS he grew older

The Chimes Of Mission Inn.

CIV H. Simpson in the Chicago Record
Herald.)
Gone the padres, meek and holy,
To the shades of yesterday.
Vanished, too. the race that slowly
Walked with them the upward way.
Fallen walls, O'ergrown with MOSES;
Outworn creeds and broken crosses
Count these not as grievous losses;
All were born to pass away.
Yet perhaps stray ghost-shapes harken
Once again, with hearts afire,
When the evening shadows darken
And the round moon rises higher:
For the mission chimes still fashion
Songs of peace from lives of passion,
That like fretful pillows dash on
Shores of infinite desire.
You have heard sweet bells a-ringing
Down the lanes of memory;
Heard them calling, heard them sing
ing,
In the days that used to be.
But far sweeter finer, clearer
Bringing angel faces nearer,
Making life diviner, dearer-
Are the mission chimes to me.
How they calm the noontine riot
Till a hush falls everywhere!
How they fill the sunset quiet
With a vesper call to prayer
Each barred soul its fault confessing,
Feels an inner peace and blessing,
Like a mothers soft caressing,
Like a tender, Christly care.
May your chants of tonal beauty
Help us, as the years gone by.
To believe that life is duty
Service now, not by and by.
Matters not how far we wander,
Always will the chimes up yonder
Make US just wee bit fonder
OF each other, you and I.

HEART OF JESUS PLEADING.

Asking Thy blessing for her, harvest
sheayes,
June to Thy altar brings her fervid gift;
In wooded aisles, the wild rose symbols
lift
Among the praying leaves.
Daily tire world commutes, with offer
ing
OF it's creative love and strength to
Thee.
So may our hearts unto Try tender
plea,
Answer like mated bird at dawn awing.
Like pledge of fruit upon the fragrant
air,
MAY hope and love outpour in wine of
prayer,
A prophecy of the deeds of after years.
Take Thou our June; and till our toll is
done
Keep Thou the harvest, in Life's scorch
of sun
And rain of human tears.

A Real Boy.
(Chicago Post.)

(Ch1cdSO HOSCJ
There's a joy that IS a joy
In a boy that is boy
Just a rompirg, reckless tlke
That the whole round world must like;
FrecKied, awkward, lank and slim,
Hat that's minus band and brlm,
With a trailing dog, or pup,
That betimes will trip him up.
In the morning out and gone
At the bugles of the dawn,
Finding wondrous games to play
In each nook along the way,
Wading brooks and climbing trees,
Fostering the honeybees
Till they sting him in despair
But what does real boy care?
In at noon to bolt his lunch,
Then a run to join the bunch;
Shouts and yells and battle call
Over strife with bat and ball,
Or a make believe affray
With the pirates in his play;
Blisters, stone bruise on his heel
Scratches that his baths reveal.
Grooming in a sing-song twang,
Horrifying by his slang.
Giving every one the shakes.
BY his chumminess with snakes,
Naming with a careless shrug
Every beetle, bird and bug,
Ruminant upon the grass
Watching all the clouds that pass.
Coming home at fall of night,
Grimed and marred from play and
= fight,
aggadocio, weary-Yes,
With a wondrous WEAKNESS.
Dreaming on with smiles and signs
After sleep has closed his eyes
There's a joy that is a boy
In a bow that is a. bow

LIFE, LOVE AND DEATH.

A little dreaming by the way,
A little toiling by the day,
A little pain, little strife,
A little joy-and that is life.
A short-lived, fleeing summers morn,
When happiness seems newly born,
When one days sky is blue above
And one bird sings-and that is love.
A little wearing of the years.
The tribute of few hot tears,
Two folded hands-the fainting breath,
And peace at last-and that is death.
Just dreaming, loving, dying, so
The actors in the drama go;
A fitting picture on the fall,
Love, death, the themes! But is that
all?
