Now Is the Time to Work.

| Year after year, just before each ST
Patrick's day, the land is flooded with
picture postal cards that are. first. an
insult to the Catholic church. second,
to the Irish race, and third, to ordinary
human decency.
The shop windows and the counters
of some great department stores are
filed with these disgraceful things.
and with gutta percha representa-
tons Of st. Patrick, with pipe in his
mouth, aStride of a pig. In some in
stances he has been pictured. arrayed
in q shameless directoire gown, killing
snakes with g, cross carried in his
hand. 1t is difficult to describe ade-
quately the multitude of insulting
things that are suddenly put upon the
market about the first of March each
season. Catholic readers need scarce
ly be reminded of these infamies. They
surely have seen them often enough to
know they exist.
Some of the worst we have seen so
far have been prevalent in this sec
ton. Scranton, probably, may claim
the most shameful. One is a cartoon
picture postal-a dumpy monkey-faced
st. Patrick, bald-head, a halo above
his head clad in brown. sandaled,
club in his hand-with the contempti-
BILE screed that is made do service as
verse:
Est. Patrick freed old Erin,
Of every twisting snake,
So, If you've any troubles.
May he give them all the shake"
It certainly is a pity ne cannot
smash the head of the cartoonist and
another snake less in the world, most
assuredly. The wretch who wrote the
verse is evidently a blithering fool.
Cartoon No. . is yet more disgusting.
The saint is looking through a screen
window. On either side of this window
are sideboards on which jugs and
glasses stand. funny little shamrocks
are flying around the face of the saint
like so many bees trying to light on
his shaven crown or sting the little
hoop which passes for his halo. On the
right of the screen stands a monkey |
faced young Irishman clad in evening |
dress a glass at his lips: on the left |
stands a loudly dressed young woman |
q cup at her lips, both uttering this |
ridiculous toast:
Here's a health to St Pat:
May he wax strong and fat
On the gracious libations we pour
for whatever our creed,
We all feel the need
Of drinking to one saint more!"
If the various temperance societies
he country over do not condemn this
brutal advocacy of the drink habit,
hen they are not doing their duty. The
". C. r. u. the c. T. A U: and
Knight of Father Mathew ought to
protest against this bedizened advice to
ret drunk. 1t is low wit and immoral.
Cartoon No. 3 is positively filthy. A

A Brave Catholic Sailor.

One of the torpedo boat destroyers
recently authorized by congress will be
named Monaghan in memory of En-
sign John Robert Monaghan. L. s. N,
who was killed on April /, 1899, by hos
tile natives in Samoa while engaged in
a reconnaissance made by a combined
force Of British and Americans. En-
sign Monaghan was at that time at
tached to the philadelphia" The ex-
petition ashore was in charge of Lieu
tenant Lansdale. and when the natives
attacked the American cailors and
Lansdale was wounded, Monaghan was
killed while trying to defend his in
jured superior officer. The official re-
port of the affair said: He stood stead
fast by his wounded superior and friend
One rifle against many-one brave
man against score of savages. He
knew he was doomed He could not
yield. He died in heroic performance
of duty" Ensign Monaghan was an
pointed to the naval academy on SEN
TENDER Z, 1891, from the state of Wash
ington. He was Catholic and a grad
uate of Catholic college.

His First Move.

A bashful cowboy, returning from the
plains to civilized society after an alb
sence of several years, fell desperately
in love at first sight with a pretty
young girl whom he met at a party.
On leaving the house that evening
the young lady forgot her overshoes.
and the hostess, who had noticed the
westerners infatuation, told the young
Lochivar that he might return them to
the girl if he wished. The herder leap
ed at the chance and presented himself
in due time at the young lady's house
She greeted him cordially.
You forgot your overshoes- last
night, he said awkwardly handing her
the package.
why, there's only one overshoe
here!' she exclaimed, as she thanked
him and opened it.
YES, Miss" said he blushing. "Tn
bring the other one tomorrow. Oh. how
wish that you were a centipede"
And with that he turned and sped away
down the street

Reduction by Addition.

A certain stout lady resolved to con-
suit physician about her corpulence
She had no previous experience with
"banting" of any sort. The doctor
drew up a careful dietary for her She
must eat dry toast, plain boiled beef
and few other things of the same lean
sort and in a month return and report
the result.
At the end of the time the lady came,
and was so stout she could harIy get
through the door. The doctor was
aghast.
Did you eat what I told your" he
asked
"Religiously." she answered.
His brow wrinkled in perplexity. Snd-
denly he had a flash of inspiration.
Did you eat anything else?" he
asked.
Why, my ordinary mealsw said the

Parental Duties Forgotten.

(From the Brooklyn Eagle.)
The doctors say that most of the
babies of the poor are quite as strong
and healthy at birth as any, but that
the summer mortality among them is
due to improper feeding and made
quate care. The babies born in the
spring. who thus become frail, sue
cumb to the first weeks of the very hot
weather, the infant death rate jumps
up and there is a hue and cry to save
the babies" But the babies in great
est need of care have been lost before
the summer work is under way The
new plan is to give them proper care
from the week of their arrival so that
they will be fortified against the first
descent of hot weather But it leaves
an old-fashioned man rather sasping
to know what has become of the duties
OF parenthood. and just why they
should end with birth certificate. II
is, however, a clear economic waste to
allow children to die because the homes
INTO which they come are unable, from
ignorance or poverty. to bring them to
healthy maturity

Without the Children

Say, wouldn't it be a weary world
Without the wee child faces,
Without the laughter from little lips,
To ring through the lonesome places
Without the glance from the trusting
eyes,
Without the fond caresses
When the sunsets CLINT in the evening
Is golden as shining tresses.
Say, wouldn't it be a dreary world,
With ne'er a sleep song grooming,
And drifting off to the jeweled skies
In mellowed accents tuning?
Without the pressure of tiny hands,
Or the clasp of the rosy fingers
To lead us off to the mystic lands,
Where dreaming fancy fingers.
Say, wouldn't it be a lonely world,
Without the wee ones near us;
Without the smiles and the prattle gay
From the baby lips to cheer us?
All, wouldn't it be a gloomy place.
Around and all above us
Without the sight of a dimpled face
To warm our hearts and love US?

Children can do many little things
to lessen the work of their mothers.
First of all, they should be taught to
put clothes away and leave their
rooms comparatively tidy. Each child
should have some duty to perform,
and always do it. Each member of
the household should have a towel
rack in the bathroom or special
place for his or her towels and trnep
them there.
