Try Smiling.

Your burden is heavy, 1 haven't a
doubt;
But others have loads they must carry
about,
And they are not whining.
Some people are glad if but half of the
way
Lies out of the shadow, or part of the
day
They see the sun shining
Suppose you try smiling.
This funny old world is mirror, you
know,
Turn its way with a sheer or the face
of a foe,
And you will see trouble.
But meet it with laughter, and looks
full of cheer,
And back will come sunshine and love.
true and dear,
With blessings to double
Suppose you try smiling
All doors open widely to those who are
glad;
Too many lack courage; too many are
sad;
Those near you need cheering.
So, laugh with your burden; the way
is not long:
And if you look upward, your heart
will grow strong,
And skies will be clearing
Suppose you try smiling.

Widow of a Hero,

Every one was well deserved, SAYS
the Boston Republic of the latest award
of Carnegie medals, but perhaps there
will be greatest rejoicing over the
award to the widow of Thomas Walsh,
formerly an employe of the East Boston
division of the sewer department, who
lost his life while Thomas Bragan and
Humphrey j. Moynihan risked theirs in
saving man who had been overcome
by sewer gas. Mrs. Walsh, who has
four young children, will receive hence
forth $25 per month, with IS for each
child. The little family were devoutly
reciting the Rosary when the good news
was brought them. I'D rather have
Matt back than all the money in the
world" said the poor young widow, who
has been having a hard struggle to
maintain her little household But she
is thankful for the much needed help
which has come to her.

My Mary.

My Mary she is young and fair,
No artful charms can bind her,
Unfettered flows her raven hair,
On every breeze behind her.
From morn till night she sweetly sings
Like Nymph or woodland fairy,
Bright joy to every heart she brings,
Ny little Irish Mary.
My Mary's eyes are full of love,
Around my heart they're. turning;
Her hearts as gentle as dove,
And pure as diamonds shining.
Her cheeks would shame the blushing
rose,
Her form is light and airy.
With love my heart for her oerflows,
My little Irish Mary.
1 crave not wealth nor lordly home
L seek no earthly treasure.
From her I never wish to roam,
She is my sweetest pleasure.
Let others sigh for a prouder lot
And scenes that ever vary.
Give me my humble mountain cot,
And my little Irish Mary.

Cling young doctor.

Nuns Eight Robbers.

A dispatch from Lisbon says: "A
remarkable conflict is reported to have
taken place at the convent at Bocair-
ente between the nuns and a band of
robbers. A notorious set of brigands
mfest that district, and during Sunday
night they made a raid on the convent,
which is situated in a lonely position
five miles from the town. with the OBJ
ject of despoiling the church of its
gold and silver ornaments, tapestries
and paintings. The nuns. however, re-

the windows and the doors. They also
armed themselves with old fowling
pieces and pistols, and made a courage
Gus resistance, keeping the robbers at
bay.
Meantime. the authorities in the adj

force of civil guards were Immediately
dispatched. They reached the convent
just as the brigands had managed to

The guards fired a volley. killing two

where pursuit was useless. Three of

"The Blood of Martyrs Is the Seed of
Christians"

Some time during the present year
says Rome the Sacred Congregation
OF Rites will make progress with sim
sularly interesting cause of beatiffca-
ton belonging to our own times. 1t is
only 26 years ago since the king OF
Uganda, in Central Africa, began a
fierce persecution of the Christians
The history of past prosecutions, g"
wrote Cardinal Lavigerie, the great
apostle of Africa, presents nothing
more touching or more wonderful than
the events Of this persecution. One of
the leading personages of Uganda who
had become a Christian, after having
had his hands and feet ferociously am
putated, was left hanging by the hair
over burning Goals and during his
agony of three days never uttered
lament. only towards the end repeating
the words Of Our Savior on the Cross:
l thirst Twenty others, hardly out
of their adolescence, died by being
slowly roasted on gridirons, repeating
the great words: We will pray as long
as we have breath Altogether one
hundred young men suffered death for
the faith while the persecution lasted

The Pope's Chef.

StefanO Inchiostro is the name of the
Popes cook He has recently been re-
Iating his experience in the Veneto,
from which it is seen that his post is
a veritable sinecure.
For q years he was the cook in the
seminary of the Patriach of Venice, the
dignity held by the Pope before his call
to the chair of st. Peter, and conse-
ness. On June %, 1908, Stefano re-
ceiVed a summons from MS old master
to repair to the Vatican.
He went, and was conducted to the
presence of the Pope, and it was only
geniality of the pontiff that placed the
cook at his ease, for he was greatly
moved.
The cook enables us to have a
glimpse of the daily life of his vener-
able master who is an example of
Horace's "obiter" that change of place
does not alter the man. After celebrat-
ing mass the pontiff takes little cof-
fee. Precisely at noon he lunches, in
company with Mgr. Pescini and Mgr.
Breson. They are always served by a
particular valet de chambre.
The repast is modest in the extreme.
Some soup. little meat from the soup,
and rarely is there roasted joint. At
at night the Pope takes his supper,
more frugal, if possible, than the mid
day meal. Vegetables and little meat
is the night repast. In winter the Pope
takes more soup than in summer, made
from dried vegetables.
His Holiness is very fond of the
''poletina" (soupe de mais), made as
it was In the days past in Venice, and
it is generally accompanied by some
fish sent from Civita Vecchia or Venice.

grave of my mother and in the neigh

childhood and youth. 1t was the scene
of those early associations which be-
come the dearer to US as we leave
Them the farther behind. l stood
where ] had sported in the freedom of
early childhood; but l stood alone. for
no one was there with whom L could
speak of its frolics. One feels singu-
larly desolate when he sees only strange
faces and hears only strange voices in
what was the home of his early life.
I returned to the village where l re-
sided for many years: but what was
the spot to my now? Nature had done
much for it, but nature herself is very
much what we make her. There must
be beauty i'm our souls, or we shall see
no loveliness in her face; and beauty
had died out of my soul. She who
might have recalled it to life and
thrown its hues over all the world was
but Of that ! will not speak.
1t was now that l really needed the
hope OF Immortality. The world was to

give to life an end. an aim.
We all of US at times feel this want.
The infidel feels it in early life. He
learns all too soOn what TO him is a
whitening fact that man does not COM
