What a Mothers Memory did
for a Black Man.

Not far from the beginning of my
ministry, it was very many years ago,
as you may suppose, I was visiting a
brother priest at his church in Balti-
more.
He asked me to help him in the con-
fessional during busy season, and
consented. MANY of my people are
negroes" he said, and l think you
will not be sorry for that, when you
make friends with them in the box. "
''Negroes!" I said, Il have yet to
discover their fervor! They are very
emotional, are they not?"
mot over much!" he replied, "they
love to sing, so do the angels for that
matter! Given fair instruction they
are fine, reliable Catholics. I have no
discount to make in comparing them
with the whites. To be sure, they are
subject race, greatly despised by
many whites, as well as feared and
detested; others patronize them, spoil
them, laugh at their foibles, and for
get their striking qualities. But taken
all in all they are good people, a sub
missive race, and religiously consid-
cred are the fairest prospect for our
Catholic missionary field, second to
none!"
And we chatted about the blacks
and their spiritual and other traits,
till far into the night, incidentally
comparing notes about their social
and domestic qualities even their in
tellectual ones which cross their re-
igious state.
The work in the confessional al
ways consoling, was especially so with
the negro-penitents that time, and it
seemed to me had the lions share
of them! In fact, few others came to
me. reveHed in their simplicity and
sincerity, / was heartsick at the side
lights of misery that were revealed.
One evening was pretty nearly
done, and was thinking of a we'll
earned nights rest. CHANGING between
the curtains after my last penitent
had gone I saw man rise in the
middle of the church. He looked to-
wards my box and doubtless noted
that there was no one else to go to
confession. Then he left the pew, and
made genufection and started to-
wards me.
Evidently, bending his knee was
new to him, for it was anything but
rubrica1, but l could not help noticing
a peculiar grace in his unrubrical rev.

THE VOCATION.

When the day was dead,
By her baby's bed,
A Mother kneels to pray.
by the Blood You shed
For mems souls" she said,
Jesus! will You not say
If this child of mine
May be priest of Thine,
If such a grace might be?
'Tis for this I pine,
All. Vouchsafe sign;
Is this his destiny?'
From above the bed,
The Thorn-Crowned Head
Looked on her little child.
And as thus she prayed
When the day was dead,
The sleeper softly smiled,
And a baby hand
Does he understand
The watchers sweet design
What mother planned
In her fervor grand?-
Doth trace the Saving Sign.
And vision bright,
Of an altar white,
The silent chamber fills,
And this young Levite
Who, the Mystic Rite,
With holy awe fulfilis?
"Ah! it cannot be
That my babe I see!"
The Sin crowned sweetly smiled,
by my Own Decree,
From Eternity,
| called your little child"
And the Mother wept,
As her darling slept.
Sweet tears of holy joy
And the secret kept
From all else except
God and the sleeping boy.

layed to Friday.
palladium s;peciaD

Washington, April 20.-After nearly
d week of continued debate, the Cana
dian reciprocity bill may come to d
vote in the house late this afternoon
or tonight. There is possibility the
debate may be extended into tomor-
row. although Representative Under
wood. in charge of the measure, is do
ing his best to shut off the constant
flow of oratory for and against the
measure.
Many new members have maiden
speeches up their sleeves, which they
want to get into the Congressional
Record. Those who want to expedite
the passage of the bill in the house
are trying to persuade some of these
speakers to postpone their orations
until the free list bill is called up next
week. Another opportunity for ora
tory will be afforded then. The con-
tending factions started off today with
an even division of time. The 'old
guard" which Is violently opposed to
reciprocity with Canada, probably
played it's trump card when Uncle Joe
Cannon spoke tor three hours and
twenty minutes against the bill yes

SMALLEST PRAYER
Lords Prayer Engraved on
Ordinary Pin Head.

Philadelphia. April 2o.-The His
torical Society OF Pennsylvania will
soon become the possessor of three
pins.
While the pins look like the ordi-
nary steel or brass. pins the trustees
of the historical society say that as
soon as they become custodians OF the
seemingly insignificant gifts they Will
be given a conspicuous place in the
museum.
On the heads of the three pins are
engraved probably more characters
than on any three similar pins in ex-
istence. Paul P. Wentz. a jeWeler, OF
Sharon. Pa, has a natural talent for
engraving. Having spent less than
two months in an engraving school
he was graduated with honors. and
was termed by his instructors as a
'phenom.
A few weeks ago he first got the
idea to engrave characters on the
heads of ordinary pins, and the sue
cess he met with can be determined
