A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. DOMINIC.

St. Dominic was born in Spain, A.
D. ITO. Sympathy for the suffering
and a spirit of self-sacrifice marked
his earliest years. AS a student he
sold his books to feed the poor in a
famine and offered himself in ransom
for slave. At the age of twenty-five
he became superior of the Canons
Regular of Osma, and accompanied
his bishop to France. There his heart
was well-nigh broken by the ravages
of the Albigensian heresy, and his life
was thenceforth devoted to the con-
version of heretics and the defense
of the Faith. For this end he estab-
lished his threefold religious Order.
The convent for nuns was founded
first, to rescue young girls fom her
esq and crime. Then company of
apostolic men gathered around him,
and became the Order of Friar Preach
ers. Lastly came the Tertiaries, per-
sons of both sexes, living in the world.
God blessed the new Order, and
France, Italy, Spain, and England
welcomed the Preaching Friars. Our
Lady took them under her special
protection, whispered to ST. Dominic
as he preached, and revealed to him
the devotion of the Rosary, his most
powerful weapon with souls 1t was
in 1908, while st. Dominic knelt in the
little chapel of Notre Dame de la
Prouille, and implored the great
Nf RI hn
that our Lady appeared to him, gave
him the Rosary, and babe him go forth
and preach. Beads in hand, he re.
vived the courage of the Catholic
troops led them to victory against
overwhelming numbers, and finally
crushed the heresy. Twice since the
Saint went to heaven has the Church's
cause been saved through the Rosary
he taught: once by the victory of LIE
panto, in 1871, in honor of which the
festival of Rosary Sunday was estab-
lished by St: Plus "; and again in
1717, when the Turks were defeated
at Belgrade, and Clement XII. hung the
standards of the infidels as trophies
of Mary's power in the Church of the
Rosary at Rome st. Dominic spent
his nights in prayer; and though pure
as a virgin, thrice before morning
broke he scourged himself to blood
His words rescued countless souls
and three times raised the dead to
life. At length, on August 6, 1921, at
the age of fifty-one, he gave up his
soul to God.

THE ANGELUS.

One of the most beautiful devotions
of the Church, which we are daily
three times called upon to perform by
the sound of the church bell, is the
prayer of the Angelus, a memorial for
all men, Catholic and non-Catholic, of
the great mysteries of the Incarnation
of the Son of God and the redemption
of mankind.
All devout Catholics, deserving the
name, practice this devotion either at
the sound of the bell, if they are in
their homes or wherever they may
conveniently perform it; or as soon
after as possible.
The moment the church bell is
sounded, let all the members of the
family at once fall on their knees and
recite the Angelus prayer either in
common or privately.
The Angelus is said kneeling, but
on Saturday evening-in Lent also on
Saturday noon-and on Sundays it is
said standing. During the Easter sea-
son, that is beginning with the Allie
LULA of the Mass on Holy Saturday un-
til the evening before Trinity Sunday
exclusively, the anthem, Regina caeli,
or, o Queen of Heaven, rejoice! is
said instead of the Angelus, standing.
There is a partial Indulgence of one
hundred days granted each time the
Angelus is said, or the anthem Regina
caeli. These prayers, however, must
be said kneeling or standing, as it is
prescribed, and at the time the bell
is rung, unless good reasons should
prevent one from fulfilling these latter
conditions. Furthermore, a plenary
indulgence is granted once month to
all who are in the habit of thus recit-
ing the Angelus, if they will receive
the sacraments and comply with the
usual conditions for gaining plenary
indulgence.

From the Convent Cell

For some days orange colored post
ers on the walls and "hoardings" of
Ixley had announced meeting of the
Titus Oates Society, to be presided
over by Mrs. Helen Powyl, of the Hall,
who was a kind of queen in the little
town-a wealthy and childless widow,
well-meaning, benevolent, and taking
her ideas of the Church from Protes-
tant Alliance literature, and the
novels of Joseph Hooking.
The eventful night had come, and
Mrs. Powyl, who had not before pre-
sided at public meeting, took the
chair rather nervously. She wore her
famous diamonds, the envy of every
lady in the county; and they gave
quite a tone to the proceedings
as, in the eyes of some, the fact of
st. Peters having had. a boat of his
own gives a touch of responsibility to
the beginning of Christianity which
otherwise it would lack. Gazing at
the Powyl diamonds, the secretary
felt that the meeting could certainly
be described as Influential if the
word large" must be withheld
A report was read, deploring the
falling off of subscriptions; and that
afforded Mr.. Hempseed, local ]. P.
and true-blue Protestant, an opportun-
ity of expressing the pious hope that
those blessed with abundant means
would come to the help of the Lord

THAT we call upon Parliament at once
to secure freedom for the captives in
convent cells by means of magisterial
inspection, which it shall be a mis-
demeanor to resist proposed by
an orator, who stated that hundred
similar meetings had been held in as
many towns and villages for the pass
ing of the same resolution; and "soon
every nunnery will be subject to State
inspection, and Rome's proud Pontifl
tremble on the throne of the Vatican,
at which there was applause as loud
as limited audience could produce.
Mrs. Powyl followed with few
! tremulous remarks Indicative of he1
sincere compassion of the unhappy
beings languishing in "Romish dun
geons;' and the meeting closed with
the singing of hymn, and "a collec
ton in silver"
Mrs. Powyl was preparing to leave
the hall, when an elderly lady ap
preached her, obviously struggling t
overcome great emotion.

SONG OF THE MYSTIC.

SONG OF THE MYSTIC.
Down the dim, voiceless valley,
alone!
And hear not the fall of footstep
Around me, save Gods and my own;
And the hush of my heart is as holy
AS hovers where angels have flown.
Long ago was weary of voices
Whose music my heart could not
win;
Long ago was weary of noises
That fretted my soul with their
din;
Long ago I was weary of places
Where l met but the Humankind
sin.
walked in the world with the world
ly;
I craved what the world never gave;
And 1 said: 'In the world each ideal
That shines like a star on life's
wave
Is wrecked on the shores of the real,
And sleeps like dream in grave"
And still did I pine for the Perfect,
And still found the False with the
True;
| sought mid the human for Heaven,
But caught a mere glimpse of it's
blue;
And 1 wept when the clouds of the
mortal
Yelled even that glimpse from my
view.
And I toiled on, heart-tired of the
human,
And I moaned mid the mazes Of
men,
Till knelt, long ago, at an altar,
And I heard a voice call me; since
then
walk down the Valley of Silence
That lies far beyond mortal ken.
Do you ask what I found in the Val
ley?
'Tis my trysting place with the Di-
vine
And I fell at the feet of the Holy,
And above me voice said: BE
mine"
And there arose from the depths of my
spirit
An echo, "My heart shall be thine. "
Do you ask how live in the Valley?
I weep, and I dream, and / pray.
But my tears are as sweet as the dew
drops
That fall on the roses in May;
And my prayer, like a perfume from
censers,
Ascendeth to God night and day.
In the hush of the Valley of Silence
dream all the songs that l sing;
And the music floats down the dim
Valley
Till each finds a word for wing,
That to hearts, like the Dove of the
Deluge,
A message of Peace they may bring.
But far on the deep there are pillows
That never shall break on the
beach;
And I have heard songs in the silence
That never shall float into speech;
And have had dreams in the Valley
Too lofty for language to reach.
And / have seen thoughts in the Val
| All! me, how my spirit was stirred
And they wear holy wells on their
faces,
Their footsteps can scarcely be
heard;
They pass through the Valley like
Virgins,
Too pure for the touch of word!
Do you ask me the place of the Valley
Ye hearts that are narrowed BY
care?
1t lieth afar between the mountains
And God and His Angels are there
And one is the dark mount of Sorrow
And one the bright mountain o
Prayer.

Plans School improvements.

A special committee, appointed at
the state teachers meeting in Norem.
Der, has drafted a number of bills they
will present to the legislature, in the
hope they will be for the betterment
Of school conditions in Missouri.
Prominent among the measures is one
requiring all applicants for teachers
certificates to show evidences of hav-
ing complete an academic course. In
some counties prospective teachers
have been unable to take advantage
Of this course as the counties were
without high schools. Another feature
Of the new law will be that no appli-
cant under IS years of age will be
granted a license to teach. Radical
changes are contemplated in issuing
the different grade of teachers certifi-
Gates. Under the new system it is
hoped to remove those teachers from
the professional field who fail to keep
up with the work necessary to COM
petent instruction.

Tho Mule in Demand.

Motor driven vehicles may or may
not be s%upplanting the horse, but 1t Is
a certainty that they are not making
any Roadway against the Missouri
mule. Not since the Boer war has
there been such Il demand for the
~1ong-eared draft animals as now. In
the last month the sales of mules in
the Kansas City market has been 30
or 40 per cent higher than in any 9TH
er month in the last ten years. One
large firm at Kansas City estimated
the sales of the last month at $500 by
commission concerns and a like num-
Der by dealers. And the price, too,
has advanced with the increased
sales, practically doubled for some
grades. The type most in demand for
use in Africa during the var was a
small animal averaging 141a hands In
height. Such animals could be
bought on the Kansas City market In
1901 for $40 to sos. To-day the same
type Of animal is worth s1S5 to $210.
Other types have advanced as much.
The present heavy demand for mules,
dealers say, is due to a season of
prosperity in the South and the high
