est ensign Of knightly rank. The
greatest warriors were proud to see the
cross on the hits of their swords as
well as on the banners under which
they fought. 1t also became a sign Of
merit for valOr and bravery-a reward
for deeds OF honor. as the iron cross
Of Prussia established by William III.
for patriotic bravery in war.
It was worn also as a protection in
times of trouble. TO denote the con-
sccration of those devoted to the aid
Of the suffering and needy; the Red
Cross was the confederation of socie-
ties in different countries for the bet
termcnt of conditions of the wounded
soldiers in campaigns on land and
sea. In Crusader days, beginning
with Peter the Hermit. in 1904. start
ing out to deliver the Holy Land from
the dominion of the lntidel, the brave
warriors We're thus named because Of
the red cross they wore as badges on
their right shoulders.
The archbishop's crozier-the en-
sign of his office-is the staff with a
cross head. distinguishing it from the
pastoral staff Of bishops and abbots.
which have a shepherds crook.
Thus has been experienced the say
ing Of Justin Martyr so many years
ago-that the sign of the cross was
impressed upon the whole of nature.
There is hardly a handicraftsman also
but uses the figure Of 1t among the
! implements Of his industry. 1t forms
a part of man himself" Man has been
created in this form as has been beau
tifully illustrated by Emily Collier in
the painting depicting the Holy Child's
expression of his love-"So wide IL
J my love-"
In the middle ages and in Crusaders
days the cross was the distinctive
symbol of the Christian In c%ontradis-
tinction to the Crescent Of the Mo-
hammedan.
The custom OF marking ones sig.
nature by a cross was first adopted
by Christians In the year ITO to dis
tinguish them from the pagans. and it
stood for a silent oath.
The early Christians Immediately
used this sign, which was connected
with their religion. as a secret mes
sage to one another in their first days
of persecution. Mingling with the
prosecutors of their faith. they could
thus make themselves known to each
other without calling the attention of
those around them. In visiting the
catacombs in Rome, where they hid
from fear of their prosecutors, it is in
tensely interesting to notice that the
sign so sacred to them is carved and
engraven all around the walls Of their
prison cells and above the tombs OF
their brethren.

STANDARD FATE UP TO COURT
Greatest Throng in Years Crowds Court
Room.

Washington.-The dissolution of Stan.
dard Oil is now a question for the Sill
preme court Of the United States to crap
pie with alone. The final argument in
the famous suit to dissolve the Standard
Oil company of New Jersey as a con-
spiracy and a monopoly in violation of
the Sherman antitrust law was made
Wednesday, and the court took the mat.
ter under consideration.
The third day in the contest of coun-
sci before the court was a memorable
one, not only because of the arguments
made. but also because of the interest
manifested in the proceedings, both on
the part of the bench and by the people
who were attracted to the court. Rules
of the court prohibiting spectators
standing in its presence were swept aside
and members of congress stood around
the walls of the rooml. Not in years have
so many persons been packed into the
little chamber.

Uncle Sam Against Tipping"

Washington.-Long suffering Uncle
Sam rebelled today against the tipping
system. The reform is due to the fact
that the walters in the senate restau.
rants are now government employees, be-
ing paid out OF the contingent fund of
the senate. This was found necessary
because it had become impossible to find
anyone willing to operate the restaurant,
all who have had it declaring it to be a
losing venture. The senators cannot see
how such can be the case, as double
prices for viands are charged and the
caterer has no rent to pay.

Joint Reformatory and Poor House.

Thibodeaux.-The police jury has ap'
pointed a committee of three to confer
with a like committee from Terrebonne,
with a view of establishing a combined
poor house, reformatOry for juveniles
and house of detention for the insane
for the use of both parishes. As it is,
this parish alone pays out nearly $4,000
per year in pensions to poor and helpless
people. Establishing a home on a farm,
with a dairy and poultry yard in con,
nection, would, it is estimated, in time
cost the parishes less than they are
spending today.
