LAST OF OLD TIMERS.

On the 9TH of May, Speaker Cannon celebrated
his seventy-fourth birthday. Democrats and Repub-
icans cheered Champ Clark, who delivered in the
House kindly speech congratulating Mr.. Cannon
on the event and wishing him prosperity, happi-
ness and length of days. y
1t was once said of Cannon that he could not
make speech in twenty-four foot ring. He needs
a large stage for his action and side-stepping When
he 'gets going his first move is to take off his
collar and clerical tie next his coat comes off, final
y he peels off his vest and closes his pyrotechn1cs
by dipping his fist in the water jug, grabbing lump
of ice and pressing it to his steaming neck. He IS
about the last survivor of the backwoods type OF
politician ideaized by Lincoln and Garfield His
taste for reading is admitted by all who know him,
he is credited with having one OF the finest libra
ries in the Middle West, his manners are not those
of the cowboy and his gyraions and eccentr1cltles
in Congress are not his enemies say, natural to him.
He is man of rugged intellect and granite force
of character He once honored a newspaper inter
viewer with the following brief information: Mr..
Cannon was born of God-fearing and man-lovlng
parents He made himself, and he made darn
poor job of it, As matter of fact, Mr. Cannon
comes of Quaker parentage and Irish ancestry
He is one of the most effective debaters IN Wash
ington. He has the Irish gift of repartee and
Scotch sense of humor. AS speaker of the House. he
has his hand on the plum tree and occasionally
shakes it for friend. He is most astute political
manipulation, and his lifelong familiarity with the
machinery of legislation and the devious ways OF
politics gives him an advantage over almost every
man in public life. Few have played the game so
long and so uniformly successful. When he lost
out short time ago in Congress, his defeat fol-
lowed combination to which he had not the num-
ber He yielded to force of numbers, biding his
time.
What tough old proposition he is There is
hardly newspaper in the United States on whose
friendship he can count, yet, since 1872 with only
the exception of term, he has carried Illinois
for himself and his party. Denounced by the New
York Sun as ''the foul-mouthed Cannon" excor-
lated by Democrats and repudiated by many of his
own party he stands today the most unique and
masterful personality in politics He has been
shorn of much of his power as Gar of the House
of Representatives, but one gets insight into
character that is not without its dumb appeal for
pity when his enemies, at the very moment of their
triumph stayed their hands and drew back the blow
that, if delivered would have given new speaker
to the United States House of Representatives.

Greece would refuse to accept it. It could not
come from and be preserved intact by any 1uman
institution, for no mere human institution could
hold for all time divine ideas and thoughts intact
without adulterating them. Goldman and a di-
vine institution, such the impeTishabe Catholic
Church, were, then, logically necessary. Christ in
dsputedly proved His divinity by His resurrection
from the grave, and that His doctrines and His reve
lations might for all time remain intact He estab-
lished His Church that to remain doetrnally
unchanged and Interchangeable for all time. Our
Lord confined His movements and His teaching
to far away little country called Palestine. the
old land of the Cananites. His Church was to be
universal-it is today.

the mperishabe Church-the Catholic Church
which Jesus Christ founded. On no other authority

refuse to accept the infallibiity of that Church
cannot logically accept the theory of the inspiration
of the New Testament. The denial of the one means

EFFECTS OF WATER.

Several years ago when some half a dozen large
manufacturing plants merged into what is now
known as trust, the corporations issued three
dollars of stock for each dollar represented by the
constituent companies thus creating three million
dollars for every million Heretofore enjoying q
profit, upon which capitalization there is demand
for dividends. This operation which was consum-
mated with very little cost beyond the expense of
printing the certificates and making them out, is
what is called watering stock
1t is one of the methods of the high financiers
which places tax upon the consumers Of the arti-
ces manufactured to the benefit and profit Of the
promoters. The increased capitalization serves to
keep the rate Of dividend payments down to "rea-
sonable" figure, the people pay the bills, and the
few chosen ones get immensely rich, so rich in
deed, that it is necessary for them to become phil
anthropsts in order to get rid of their surplus cash
As the burden for this increased demand for
dividends falls the whole people, it has been the
business of no one in particular to look after it and
to protect the people from the promoters The peo-
pie, however, have been enlightened by "cheap"
politicians and muck-rakers,' and their cause has
been taken up with the presumption strong that in
time the evils of watered stock will be eliminated
from the business world.
When that is accomplished and trusts, which are
recognized as a legitimate outgrowth of business
conditions are forced to do business on capitalza

Then they all soberly and respectfully accompanied
her to the convent. She told them at parting that
she would ever remember them in her prayers, and
said she had not thought there so much charity
and religion among the youth of Paris.
She told that morning to the Sisterhood, where
she was stopping what happened to her. She todd
it to her own Sisterhood when she returned to her
own convent which she did within fortyeight hours
from the time she set out from it. For thanks to
this reveillon," she had collected enough for the
statue of ST. Anne and the altar-piece for the con-
vent chapel She told them of the good, kind people
keeping Christ "reveon'' in the City Of Paris.

she knew not what mpurity was. She only saw

WHAT HAPPENED.

The dire predictions of disaster to overtake the
earth May 1S, the date when this sphere travelled
through the tail of Halley's comet, failed to ma
terialize. Instead of a catastrophe, nobody was
able to notice any change from us al conditions.
Now that we have sustained the visit of the wan
derer and it is travelling away from the earth about
fast anything very well could, it might be in
teresting to recall how the visitor got its name
Along about 1852 this same comet made its appear
in the armament. Edmund Haley, an English
astronomer, who was much interested in the comet
reasoning from records or less vague and
certain, which showed that there had been comet
visible in 1907 and 1881 announced it his opinion
that the same comet would return and be visible in
the year 175S. HALEY died in 1742, sixteen years
before the predicted time of the temperance of
the visitor, but when, on Christmas day, 1853, the
comet back, his calculations were indicated,
and the comet has ever since been known as 'FHal-
ley's comet"

PARDoNING OF CRIMINALS.

One of the hardest things to accomplish is the
conviction Of prominent" citizens who have been
amply proven guilty of speculations amounting to
thousands of dollars. Bank presidents and cashiers
who steal are given every opportunity before the
jury, and most of them escape Or, if they con-
victed and sentenced, petitions for pardon i'm
mediately drawn up and presented to the author
ties constituted to consider them. Prominent eit-
zens may do murder, and if they have the misfOr-
tune to suffer conviction their pardon is reasonably
certain if they have the right "pull' with the gov
ernor of their state But the owbrowed thieves, the
hold-up men, the burglars-wel, they different.
Society would not be safe with them at large. The
respectable thieves and murderers are not menace

The humble citizen is quite convinced that the
rich violator of the law does not receive his just de-

the misfortune Of conviction the aforesaid humble
citizen will immediately consider that circumstances
alter cases. and will sign circulate and urge others
to sign petition for pardon. Perhaps some Of the

PIERRE LOTT AND THE NUN.

We have just received copy of French news
paper, the Temps which is devoting much of its
space to the publication of Pierre Lofts manu-
scripts, found among his papers after his death.
Here is charming sketch of an incident associated
with his own experience:
It was Christmas eve and fair young nun had
come to Paris from country village to collect some
money for a beautiful statue of Saint Anne and an
altar-piece for the convent chapel Early on the
morning of her arrival in Paris she set out on her
mission with her collecting bag on her arm.
Wherever she went she begged, and her sweet,
gentle face brought coin from the most unwilling.
But it was weary work. Still strong in her purpose,
she continued wandering from door to door, then
from church to church, till late in the night for was
it not Christmas eve, and who could refuse to give
something for the mother Of the Virgin
When the midnight was finished, however,
she began to retrace her steps to the where
she staying in Paris. On her road she was
presently met by company of laughing men and
women, who were on their way to fashionable res
taurant, where they proposed keeping their "revYi
lon." Seeing the young nun, they imagined she was
of themselves, dressed up for this occasion ia
nuns disguise. They called to her. She stopped,
and, holding out the bag begged fer her statue and
altar-piece.
Laughingly, they dropped few silver pieces in
the bag, and asked her if she would sup with them
''Supper!'' she exclaimed
"Aye, said one of the men, ''to keep the reveil
lon.''
"Supper? Reveillon7'' she repeated, ''I have
not eaten since morning. will sup with you
And the gentle nun carried in triumph to
the restaurant, where room had been previously
retained and they ate and drank.
Paris youth may be sensual, but it is not vicious
On the contrary latent feeling of religion dwells
in most Frenchmen' g hearts, however depraved they
may otherwise be, and when the ''fast set found
that it holy they had in their midst,
a sudden change took place in the behavior of the
'gommeux'' and "gonmeuses They We'd with
each other to give decent and meaning to their
doings and even to their viands and wines They
thus called ''miron pieon'' sfreveillon' drink
told her that champagne only for those long ac-
customed to it, and they made the fair young nun
believe they were in truth eating and drinking to
hail the birth of Christ Nor WIS this ALL Each sang
the best and purest song he she could think of,
and then the nun was asked to sing, and, perhaps
for the first time within those walls, sounded pure
Church canticle sung by an angels voice.
Not an eye was dry as the holy strains con-
tinued The mems heads fell to folded arms and
their frames might be seen quivering with emotion
while the women s tears trickled down their pow
dered cheeks.
When the hymn finished, the nun with her
