4 fond and Friendly Farewell q
III. of Il.

Editor Heiald:-Just a word Of
goodbye to II. of B. lie tells US
in his closing chapter that living as
he does. a distance Of sixteen miles
from the creamery, he could not be
its enemy. forgetting that while the
Japs are separated from us by the
wide, wide sea. they are constantly
knocking" things done in Ameri-
ca. 80 far yet SO near" And
again he repeats his interest in the
success of our creamery, when mo-
we'd by heart of tender love, he
warns brother farmers against the
exacting muscle-trying, nerve-break-
ing, heart-moving business of milk
ing. when without mixers the
creamery would die sure ami certain
death. Indirect blow. 'tis true, and
yet deadly just the same.
And a word as to his illustration
used to make strong his position.
Should he or any other mortal man
desire to engage in the tobacco bus
mess in Farmville it would be the
part of sound wisdom to consult
Mr.. w. G. Huntington, that prince
among tobacco dealers who has
made the business his life-work and
his life-study, and who in its pros
ecution has achieved the most brill
liant success ever won on indus
trial field in all Virginia IL not in
all the South, and who still gives TO
/ ii his whole time and best talent.
But how different from this is the
\ experience of II. of B., who abandon
ed the milking business more than
three decades ago. and who now
assays the part of guardian and
guide to thse who would embark in
il. Consult Mr.. Huntington as to
!, all that concerns the tobacco trade;
YES. for he has stuck to it and made
a success of it, but when a mentor
; comes to talk of the milking busi-
ness, who abandoned it and has but
/, one objection to it, and that is II

spectfully and then return to the

Ancestor of Pictorial Postcards.

1t was in Switzerland that the mania
for pictorial postcards first arose, and
we well remember the establishment
evoked some dozen years ago at seeing
at the Theodule Hut the excitement of
party of Germans upon their ascer-
tanning that they could dispatch thence,
via Italy, sheaf Of views of the Mat
terhorn. If one may judge from the
very interesting collection of old Alpine
prints now on view at the Alpine club,
Saviile Row, our ancestors were also
eager to carry away souvenirs of scenes
unlike any to which they were accus-
toned, and of which the terrors and
dangers were doubtless not eXag-
gerated. And so the Swiss, who were
among the earliest to exploit cOlOred
engravings provided them with ma
terlal with a sufficient space of eXag-
gerdtion to satisfy those who stayed at
home. These they dedicated to the
amateurs of the marvels Of nature, y
and for them they crowded into a sin

General Curtis.

The death, after long suffering from
wounds received during the Civil war,
of Gen. Newton NJ. Curtis removes one
of the last heroes of the Army of the
Potomac. His bravery, especially at the
battle of Fort Fisher, won the admira-
ton of friend and foe alike. When
peace was declared he was appointed
to an important office in Virginia.
where he rendered great service to the
south. AS a member of Congress, his
record was no less honorable than as
soldier. Though advanced in years
and a great sufferer, he continued to
write and lecture until the end He
often remarked that if he were to give
up work and nurse his wounds he would
die within week. His book, From
Bull Run to Charlottesville" in which
he pays beautiful tributes to certain
Catholic comrades-in-ar arms, is consid-
cred one of the best works ever writ
ten on the War of the Secession. Cen
eral Curtis had a host of friends in
every walk of life, on all of whom he
left an abiding impression of noble
simplicity. genial kind-heartedness and
unselfish devotion. Ave Maria.

Cardinal Borromeo secured the whole

In the eight years from 1901 to 1909 he
collected from Europe, Asia and Africa
more than 10000 books, manuscripts.
papyri and parchments, and presented
them to the city of which he was arch
bishop. Not only this, but he built the
library and hired Raphael, Titan, Leo
nardo da Ninci, Luini and other great
artists to decorate it. And when he
opened the library he wrote a guide to
it and to its treasures, in which he
showed himself a discerning art critic

ORANGE Lodue.

Iraland-The Loyal Orange institute
has issued a manifesto urging all loyal
men to vote against the government
because by its promises of home rule
it has yielded to that disaffected por-
ton of the Irish population which owes
allegiance to the Church of Rome y
Fear or intolerance of Catholic suprem-
acy is the basic motive of opposition
to Irish autonomy at present, and
Home Rule is Rome Rule" remains
the last rallying cry of Orangeism. 1t
appears to have proved Intellectual at
the present elections both in England
and Ulster. Neither Tory nor Liberal
has had much to say about it, indicat-
ing that instead of being a terror it
may be in some degree an attraction,
to the British electorate. The leading
Irish papers, dealing with the Catholic
education question in England, consider
that the Irish party will have done its
duty by strenuous parliamentary advo-
cacy. as in the past, of Catholic rights,
but that they are not called upon to
sacrifice their own country's primary
interests by advising their friends to
vote for the professed enemies of those
interests The contests in six constitu-
enciss by rival Nationalist are being
conducted without disorder The main
grounds of opposition are differences
on the budget and land bills, and the
central councils interference with the
rights of constituencies and the legiti-
mate independence of members. In the
Orange constituencies the differences
are more accumulated and more numer-
Gus. There are Radical, Unionist, Or
ange. Independent and Agriculturist
candidates, some of whom have a hard
time explaining that their support of
Liberal and Nationalist measures did
not mean submission to Rome. 1t is
clear that even in Belfast the Orange
cohesion is broken and opposition to
home rule as such has sensibly weak
ened. While several influential men
have abandoned Unionism, there has
been no detection from home rule

Portrait of a SomaIi.

Although the SomaH is fierce and
brutal towards his enemies, he is
ready to forgive if reparation is made.
Although avaricious toward foreign
ers and strangers, he is generous to
his friends and relations.
He is of lively disposition, engaging,
intelligent and sensible. When he
arOuses from his natural Incidence and
undertakes any project, he usually
carries it to a successful issue.
Nor is he as cruel as was believed
by the early explorers of this region.
If he takes human life otherwise than
in battle, it is in a moment of frenzy.
"Ouce 1 came near falling a victim
to the anger of a Soman of gigantic
stature and strength" says Father
Stephen, o. NJ. Cap, writing to us from
Berbera. Fortunately, we promptly

had threatened to transf1X be with his
lance, this fierce Mussulman was as
surfing me of his friendship and swear
ing to protect me-"

Centenary of Gladstone.

celebrated in Great Britain December
49,
The Liberals attempted to draw ar
argument against tariff reform from
the condition of labor in America. The
Unionists Immediately sent for inter
views with men prominent in politics
both municipal and national, and with
the leaders in charity organizations
who all denied the assertions of Lloyd
George drawn from the conditions in
New York during May, 1908, just after
the panic.
G. NJ. Boyle, one of the chief lace
makers of Nottingham, and W. G.
Player, an important tobacco manu-
facturer, and C. Coggan, a hosiery
manufacturer, have declared for tariff
reform, promising to employ more hands
if this policy wins.
A remarkable thing about the cleo
ton is the Importance both sides at
tach to colonial opinion. The views of
cabinet ministers in the colonies are
published in the leading papers. They
seem on the whole to incline to the
peers and tariff reform.
By Tuesday, 266 seats had been con-
tested. The Liberals gained lis, the
Unionists l20. The latter made a net
gain of AZ seats.-America.

The Fields of O'BallYclare.

BY Denis A Mccarthy.
I've known the Spring in England
And, oh, It's pleasant there
When all the buds are breaking
And all the land is fair.
But all the time the heart of me,
The better, sweeter part of me,
Was sobbin' for the robin
In the fields of o'Ballyclare.
I've known the Spring in England
And, oh. it's England fair!
When Springtime in her beauty,
A queen beyond compare.
But all the while the soul of me,
Beyond the poor control of me,
Was sighin' to be flynn
To the fields of O. Ballyclare
I've known the Spring in England
And now l know it here:
This many month I've longed for
The opening of the year
But, oh, the Irish mind of me
q hope it's not unkind of mel
Is turnin' back with yearnin'
To the fields of O. Ballyclare.
