Could we ever prove faith1ess to
the memory of our lamented Father
O'Reilly, who, as founder of our
school, merits our deepest gratitude?
He was our model, our helper in all
our difficulties. AT his death, there
was grief far and wide, but prayer
and trust in God softened the blow
We have gained by the earthly loss :;
we feel assured he is our advocate
and is doing more for US by his plead
ings with the Sacred Heart.
.@Twas easy to be good, for he was
leading
Through pleasant pathways far from
sin and strife.
We learned our lessons less from
books than needing
The sweet example of his holy life.
His mission was the education OF
youth. and here it was that we saw
his power Of intellect, broadnesss Oh
view, his insight into the needs of the
time and place. Hence we can clear
lv perceive that after God his school
was his lifelong ambition,-to raise
it to a high standard of religious and
secular instruction.

that Loyalty is duty which the pupils
of st. Peters school owe to his mem

for the class of 1910.
His was the faith which still endure

The hope which smiles through dark

And in his heart that tenderness I'M

That love that gave its all, and ask

Heartfelt thanks to God we still are
giving,
That for a time we iourned at his
side;
For life will eer be sweeter for his

And heaven itself is nearer since he
died.
To our present Very Reverend pas

cessor of Father O'Reilly, we tender
our sincere thanks for the kind ano
fatherly interest he has shown in oul
welfare. For the past year we have

Truly fortunate is the man who can

the world, that have revolutionized It,
For dreamer lives forever,
And toiler dies in day.
About three score and twenty years
ago, there was born in our Emerald
Isle, dreamer whose dreams have
been the stepping stones to the pres
ent success of men and women scat
tered, one might say, from coast to
coast, in America.
The poet priest must have had such
one in mind, when he wrote,
"Ah! dreams of such lofty reach
With more than earthly fancies
fraught,
That not the strongest wings of
speech
Could ever touch their lowest
tnought."
| And this dreamer moved in our
midst; his dream was in his eyes, in
his speech, in his whole appearance;
goodness, kindness and earnestness
were in his every action and word
His was the dream of Catholic educa
ton, and great was his perfect con
fidence in God, his hope in the future
4 his certainty of triumph. Reality sue
ceeded his Dreams and Reverend
Thomas O'Re.ny went down to his
grave a winner in the battle of right
a successful dreamer. But at what {
cost! Earth knows a little, Goo
knows the rest.
Youth seems to be the favored sea
son of dreams. the feet of the young
love to linger in this fairy isle, willis
the unconscious eyes of innocence
peer forth to lift the veil of the future
and the active mind plans the open
ing pathway through life; but
would be as easy to prison Gods sun
beams with tiny human hands, as t
stem the current of our destinies.
Today classmates, we are outward
bound, the day so longed for ha
come at last, and yet we pause to cas-
a glance backwards soon the pleas
antries of school life, its joys AM
fears will be enshrouded in the il
revocable past; our dreams have bee

Of shadow to temper the glare of the

Words fail to express to our teach
ers our loyalty and gratitude. Day by
day they have toiled with us In those
studies destined to prepare us for our
position in life. Our earnest prayer
Is, that their labors may be blessed by
the Father of light, that the seeds of
wisdom SO patiently sown, may bios
som into virtues brightest hues.
We trust our classmates will not
forget us amid the varied scenes Of
life, but in spirit often mingle with
us in the merry intervals of duty.
May the honors that cluster round
the class OF 1910, be but the prelude
to higher and nobler attainments in
whatever sphere our paths diverge.
May we realize that loyalty is our
breastplate, faith our life preserver,"
and religion our sacred shield.
Then, only then, shall each of us

Fragrant with flowers and musica

Still follow, follow; sure to meet the

And confident, that what the future

Will be the right, unless myself BIZ

been appointed assistant private secre-

And now. if not before. it will be
recognized that this rosy checked hoy

The youngster with whom we were

Hay possessed the natural ability for

that he imbibed the patience and

But to return to my story. While

Clarence Bate of Louisville. had turned
rebel and was fighting for the south.
In the beginning Kentucky was a di-
vided state. One-half of its people
were with the Union. the other half
with the Confederacy. 1t is probable
that it was on this account that Bate
became identified with one of those
bands having no Legitimacy as Con-
federate soldiers who were doing their
best to carry the state out of the
Union. At any rate. Bate was taken
prisoner with arms in his hand against
the sovereignty of the United States,
having neither commission nor hay-
ing been enlisted in the Confederate
service.
Later in the war when one of these
citizens" as they were called. were
captured and brought before a COM
handing officer. after hearing what
his captors had to say on the subject.

hand, would say: Take him away.

This was an order. understood by the
captors. to take the man out and shoot
him. The prisoner was then conduct

shot down while running.

glance at these figures that the union
lists did not in 1906 obtain anything
like the number of the seats in the
house to which they were entitled by
proportional representation. OF the
electors 3,4O0, 900 in rounc numbers
voted liberal and 100000 unionist.
Every member ought in strict proper
ton TO be elected by $500 votes. But
the liberals only averaged $500 and
the unionists 1920. The liberal ma
jority in the constituencies was only
33 per cent above the unionists. In
the house they had majority of more
than to /.
This result is inevitable when feel
ing runs high in all the constituencies
in the same direction. Wales, for in
stance, returned 80 liberals and not a
solitary conservative, although on any
system of proportional representation
they would have had 10 seats Th1;
must be borne in mind in estimating
the significance of the polls at this
years election. 1t is quite possible
that the liberals might poll as large a
plurality as in 1906, and yet lose half
their majority in the house. A local
or sectional decrease in the liberal
electorate in one part of the country,
which was more than counterbalanced
on the total vote by a rise in the lib
eral majorities in other constituencies,
would materially affect the majority
of members sent to Westminster.
The voting is by secret ballot, and
in England the ballot is really secret.
The polling is spread over a fortnight.
fact which operates favorably for
the party which scores heavily in the
opening contests. There are always
many walters upon Providence who
vote with the winning side. In the
present election the first poll took
place on Jan. 10, the last on Jan. 30.
In order TO obtain majority of one,
the unionists needed to win back IT'S
of the seats they lost in 1906. AS they
had admitted themselves that they did
not expect TO win more than half a
dozen seats at the outside in the
Celtic fringe-that is to say, in Wales,
Scotland and Ireland-they needed to
capture every other seat held by the
liberals in England in 1906.
The cost of a general election is
roughly estimated at a millien sterling
(S5,000,0O0l, an expenditure which is
borne by the candidates, whose re-
sources. when inadequate, are eked out
by the party funds.

After the Flood.

After Paris had withstood the
siege of the Germans beyond time
1t seemed human endurance could
not last, the Germans testified that
it showed ''that modern heroes dwell
not in the country, but in the towns"
Bismarck passed admiring comment
on the courage of the Parisians who
held out against the foe long after
the remainder of France had capitu-
lated.
The Parisians furnished proof
enough then of their pluck, as later
they and their compatriots in the
provinces were to indicate theiI
thrift in pulling from their stockings
the indemnity exacted by Germany
and paying it off without outside as
sistance. In this hour of waste al
most as terrible as that wrought by
war, the Parisians are not giving
themselves over to lamentations, but
have set bravely and cheerfully to
the task of restoring their city to its
former beauty. The mercury in their
temperament which descended to the
pits of gloom as the Seine steadily
rose, rose again as the Seine fell, and
today Paris is happy in its deliver
ance from greater evils.

For Your Hair
Here Are Facts We Want You
to Prove at Our Risk.

Marvellous as it may seem, Rexall
"93" Hair Tonic has grown hair on
heads that were once bald. OF course
it is understood that in none of these
cases were the hair roots dead nor
had the scalp taken on a glazed, shiny
appearance.
When the roots of the hair are en-
tirely dead and the pores of the scalp
are glazed over, we do not believe
that anything can restore hair
growth.
When Rexall 1913" Hair Tonic will
do as above stated, it is not strange
that we have such great faith in it
and that we claim it will prevent
badness when used in time 1t acts
scientifically, destroying the germs
which are usually responsible for
badness. 1t penetrates to the roots
of the hair, stimulating and nourish-
ing them. 1t is a most pleasant tot
let necessity, is delicately perfumed
and will not gum nor permanently
stain the hair.
We want you to get a bottle of
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic and use il as
directed. If it does not relieve scalp
irritation, remove dandruff, prevent
the hair from falling out and pro-
mote an increased growth of hair
and in every way give entire satisfac-
ton, simply come back and tell us
and without question or formality
we will hand back to you every PEN
ny you paid us for It.
We lend our endorsement to Rexall
"93" Hair Tonic and sell it on this
guarantee, because we believe it is
the best hair tonic ever discovered.
1t comes in two sizes, prices so cents
and $1.00. Remember you can OBJ
tain it only at our store-the Rexall
store. The Thomas Drug company.
