Light on a Smashed Lamp.

John Fisher drove a coal wagon up
Hammerswell court southwest, joggled a
street lamp. smashed the glass. and by
that simple piece of destruction made it
necessary for him to be tried twice in the
Police Court for the same offense, Judge
Mullowny had to look up the law, and
Assistant Corporation Counsel Pugh had
to make an appearance to see that the
chariot Of justice did not get off the
track.
1t appears that street lamp is not
public property. In the court papers il
was charged that John Fisher had broken
the lamp Of Thomas MeQuill. Mr.. Nc
Quill is the superintendent of the Amer
lean Street Lighting Company. which. ac-
cordng to Mr.. McQuill. lights Washing
ton. Wimbledon. Baltimore land two other
small towns like that
All this was news to every one in court.
Judge Mullowny thought, that a street
lamp was District of Columbia property,
and SO did Mr.. Pugh. Mr.. McQuill was
sent down stairs to have new papers made
out, after the first case had been dis
missed as a complete mix-up. When he
came back he had a hot session for five
minutes with John Fishers lawyer. who
wanted to know all about the American
Street Lighting Company.
None of which discussion saved John
Fisher from the twenty dollar fine i'm
posed on him.

The great place of recreation for the people Of
Cologne is the bank of the Rhine Stretching all
along it you have magnificent gardens and hotels
and military bands discourse sweet music all the
day long. Beneath you is the river. with It's num-
erous vessels and sailing ships, and above you Is
the city with its hundreds of turrets and spires.
And across that river Caesar in the olden days
threw wooden bridge over which he and his VIC
torous legions passed to other lands and other vic
tories. The marvel is how he accomplished the
task and we are told he did it in ten days. Con-
stantine the Great built bridge, too across this
part of the Rhine, which bridge soon after
demolished and ferry supplied its place. Cologne
is the largest city of the Rhine Province land is
of the principal commercial places in Ger
many, eau de Cologne, tobacco and sugar being the
principal industries. [ should mention in speak
ing about the Cathedral that its spires, 512 feet
high, are the Hottest existing if except those
of the Cathedral of Ulm. The population of Co
logne is, roughly speaking, about 100000. For
those wishing to see the Lower Rhine, it would be
WELL after what is to be seen in Cologne, to take
the train to Bonn and board the steamer there. as
the country between Cologne and Bonn~is not very
interesting, being almost a continuous chain of
hills. At Bonn the scenery commences, and from
that old city to Bingen the trip by steamer is an
experience never to be forgotten.

ALEssoN FROM A COLLEGE ATHLETE.
HTr11e Voice


"Ill do the dishes this morning, mother, but I
don't promise to do them again. John Branch's
brother is coming home from college today, and
he's promised John that he will organize the boys
of our size into a military company and drill us
every day. He'll teach us lot of other things too.
John says there's nothing he doesn't know about
athletics It will be the chance of my life to learn
those things and [ mean to spend every minute
practicing"
Herberts mother did not answer. She was
thinking that it would be almost easy after all,
to crowd the dsh-washing into her overfull day
as it was to persuade Herbert to wash them. Her
bert often said that his father never had washed
dishes or scrubbed walks. He forgot that in his
fathers boyhood home there had been wood to cut
and water to bring and garden to weed while IN
Herbert's home none of these things had to be
done.

bert next morning, soon as breakfast was over.
He stopped for William Perry and met Fred Hunt

John called from the side door. "Pm helping

1t was nearly half an hour before he came. Her
bert wondered how he could stay in the home when
a dozen boys were having good time outside.
When he did come the girl followed him. but
what queer girl! Tall and strong, with sleeves
above the elbow showing muscles enved by every
boy in the crowd, the new girl in spite of big
apron, undoubtedly the person they had talked

The boys tried not to look guilty, but most of
them left work undone at home and several moth

had time to help them before the drill hour came,

DENVER MAY SOON HAVE A SAINT.

The last number of the "Acta Minorum" brings
the official news that the cause of the qualification
and canonization of Father Leo Heinrich, o. F.
NJ, the murdered pastor of St. Elizabeths church.
Denver, Colo, is soon to be formally taken up by
the Right Rev. Bishop. God seems to place the
seal of his approval on the veneration paid to the
Rev. Father Leo, by wonderful happenings. These
have induced the Reverend Ordinary and the con-
freres of the murdered priest to make preparations
for a canonical process, to determine whether or
not Father Leo was a true martyr

Ger Erin's sea girt isle,

The gentle spring wind sighed
One peaceful night in May.
On surf-lashed northern coast.
The waves dashed fast and free,
And cross the meadows came
Salt odors of the sea.

Where in dark ages past
The lord of all those lands

Ruled stern, yet kind and just;

Since his body turned to dust.

The moon shone wierd and bright,
And blazed toward the west

And night birds screamed and cried:

Across the ebbing tide.
And the Banshee walled and mourned,
As she pointed to the west,
For daughter of the race,

While the gentle night winds sighed,

THE LIVING ROSARY.

(By Anton F. Klinker.)
Thousands of twinkling stars at night
Are shining in Gods cky,
And their mysterious brililancy
Is pleasing to the eye.
Beyond their starry radiance
The gates of heaven stand
Where angels sing Gods praises
In endless anthems grand.
And from the realms of Paradise,
The view on earth below,
Is studded with bright stars of faith
In which loves fires glow
Thousands of living fires burn
In hearts with love elate,
And lips pour forth Gods holy praise
That fervor consecrate.
Above the sin-marred gulf of woe
The psalms of praise arise,
And watt their beauteous harmony
To Gods throne in the skies.
From infant lips that love has taught
In reverent fealty,
The isping praise of Jesus name
And of Mother Mary.
And childish voices mingle with
The blessed consonance
And age and virtues diadems
Shine in faiths radiance
The living rosary's beauteous chime
Floats DER the land and sea,
And watt TO heaven ChriStian,c love
Of that sweet name, Mary!
From chapel affairs, clustered walls,
From crowded tenement,
From forest, mine, from field and farm Z
To heaven that prayer is sent.
In times of joy, in gratitude
In sorrows darkest hour,
The Rosary brings, through Mary's aid.
Gods grace IN plenteous showerl
