The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1909-12-18

A fortnight ago the Los Angeles
Angeles Times started a report that Fa-
Their Charles NJ. Charropin, S. J., the
famous priest astronomer, had declared
that Halley's comet would strike the
earth and destroy it. Father Charropin
has demanded that the Times deny that
he made such statement. mo one eX-
cept a crazy man would utter such alb
surdity." ne says, adding: THE path of
HaIley's comet is well known to as
tronomers. 1t can no more strike the
earth than Mars or the moon could
come in contact with our little planet
Halley's comet viii pass much nearer
to the planet Venus than to the earth.
It may be asked: Is it possible for a
comet to strike the earth?' This is pos
sible: but there is one chance out Of five
million chances. Central Catholic.

Napoleon and the Rosary.

When Napoleon l was at the height
of power, he one day went to the thea
ire. accompanied by one of his pages,
Rahan Cabot, prince of Leon. The en-
peror paid little attention to the play,
and amused himself by watching the
audience. In doing so he noticed that
his companion took no heed of the stage,
but with his hands concealed beneath
his cloak. seemed to busy himself with
entirely other matters. Suddenly Ma
poleon grabbed the hand of the page
and found in it-a rosary. The prince,
not knowing the sentiments of his SOW
ereign, was greatly annoyed at the de-
lection and prepared for a severe repri-
mand. But he was greatly mistaken.
Napoleon treasured him, saying:
u am glad to see that you are above
this miserable play. You have the
proper spirit and the stuff for the MAX
ing Of a great man. Continue reciting
your rosary; I shall not disturb you
again"
His words proved to be prophetic.
The page did really become a great man.
If, in years of fierce endeavor,
All our efforts have been vain,
Struggle on, believing ever
That the victory you will gain.
Are you friendIess? You can conquer
Foes without and foes within;
What are trials, pain. and hunger,
When there is a prize to win?
Noble natures prove ascendant
In the worlds ignoble strife
And true courage is descendant
Of the dauntless souls in life.
On life's changeful scene of action
Though deafeat may oft appear,
Laurels, prizes, wealth and station
Are for those who persevere.

A dropping white hat, covered
with wistaria blossoms and leaves,
and white suede gloves are worn
with this costume.
The fashionable Miss De Wolfe's
white linen pleated skirt is surely

He had almost asked her wheth-

scenes as that in which they had
first encountered each other, in
Martins, but recollected in time
that she probably would not care
to be reminded of that incident.
Later on, when they should have
learned to know each other bet
ter, when she should have become
accustomed to meeting him as a
near neighbor, there would be
time enough to clear up the vague
atmosphere of mystery which still
encompassed her. He had already
decided that he must settle down
in Stormport, as close to the
bungalow as he could find a root
to shelter him, and, at the mo-

graces would be forthwith to find
