If a poll were to be taken of the hal
dozen poems written within the past
half century that have attained the
| greatest degree of popularity. by al
most unanimous consent "Curfew Must
Not Ring Tonight" would undoubtedly
| be named very near the top.
The romantic story of young love
captivates the imagination. The liter
ary merit commends the poem to those
of discriminating tastes. Its ringing
rhythm has made it one of the most
effective selections for elocutionists in
any language. The great merit of the
poem is decided by the fact that much
repetition by the amateur and profess
sional reciter has not caused it to share
the fate of SO many other excellent
poems which have been brought into
diSrepute in this manner.
''Curfew," as il is usually abbrevi-
ated. while treating of a subject almost
entirely English. was written by an
American girl. Rose Hartwick. when
she was only seventeen years old. Miss
Hartwick was born in Mishawaka. Ind.

which seems all the more remarkable.
she had seen little or nothing of the
world outside Of her native Indiana viii
lage. She was. however. a great lover
Of history and her parents were able TO
give her more than the ordinary amount
of education. She graduated at Hills
dale (Mich.) College in 1883 and mar
ried Mr.. f. Carson Thorpe. a man
Of literary taste. a reader and humorist.
They lived for years in Grand Rapids.
Mich, from which place they removed
to Pacific Beach. near San Diego. Cal.
Mrs. Thorpe has written other poems.
some of which she considers superior
to "Curfew.' though they are not so
famous. She is also author of a num-
ber of prose stories for young people
which have become popular.
.'Curfew'' was written during the
early part Of the year 1867 and was
printed for the first time in 1870. 1t
was some little time before much at
tention was paid to it, but finally its
fine description began making an i'm
preston and newspapers in all part OF
the country began copying the verses.
and by 1874 1t had found its way into
every corner of the world. The paper
first publishing the poem was the De-
troit Free Press. Mrs. Thorpe says that
she received the suggestion from read
ing a story called Love and Loyalty
in an old Peterson's Magazine Of Sep
tember. 1865 The story which inspired
the poem is apparently of English au-
thorship, though anonymous. and II Is
so told as to imply that the author was
descendant of the hero and heroine
of the story. and that 1t was written
with the beautiful face Of Bessie. the
heroine looking down from a painting
on the wall before the writer.
In the story the hero Is one OF King
Charles cavaliers. captured by Crom-
wells soldiers while visiting his hancee
within the Puritan lines. He is con-
demned to be shot, at curfew. as a spy.
hence the incidents described In the
poem. Basil and Bessie marry. become

petuate the memory Of their youthful
romance by naming their two sons

Mrs. Thorpe relates the following
story of her early life as an author:
Il cannot remember when / did not

l was child. My mother did not ap-
prove Of my writing: in fact discour-
aged it. One day after school I went
to my room. I had been studying tho

to write in my poem and the incident

tress called out. oh. mother. can't she

ing l was solving hard problem in

friend until / could leave. At last
finished the poem and put it away. Two
or three years later I wanted a poem
for publication in a Detroit paper, for
which l had been in the habit Of con-
tributinE short poems gratuitously.
was unable at the time to write, as
usual. an original poem for the next
issue. and. on looking over my papers
found this one. which I decided to send.
though doubling its acceptance. as it
was so long. A day or two afterward
/ received a note from the editor COM
plimentins the last contribution highly
and prophesying for it great and i'm
mediate success"
The way Miss Hartwick came to be
a newspaper writer is rather interest
ing. When she was quite a young girl
she began composing poetry. and hav-
ing written one that seemed to strike
her fancy. she sent it to a Detroit pa
per. 1t was accepted and the edito.
wrote letter offering to send her his
paper il she would contribute to II one
short poem a month. The proposition
was gladly welcomed. for newspapers
were scarce in the little village in
which she lived The verses were sent
regularly for some time. but finally
illness interfered with inspiration. For
all of her earlier poems she received no
compensation. even for 'Curfew," but
they gave their author a name and
made ready market for later efforts.

No question Of national policy, which may
directly or indirectly affect the Catholic
church, is decided until the Pope has been
heard from.
Throughout the civilized world run the
threads of papal diplomacy, and the most
prominent feature of recent political progress
has been the wonderful success of Catholic
craftsmanship.
Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, and Aus
tria are as loyalty Catholic now as in the days
when the JesUits and the Inquisition met and
turned back the Reformation of Huss,
WycIiffe Calvin, and Luther

In other words, the States came together in

fulfill the plan. and purpose of its founders
the written Constitution being a careful mark
ing out of the sphere of action of this new
general government, which was to represent
all of the state and to add to the combined
strength of all the states and to increase the
general prosperity, as we'll as to advance the
general happiness. Consequently, you can see
the states are the original sources of au-
thorlty, the people of each state being the
ultimate source of the governmental powers
of the states themselves.
Now let us see how this brief account of
the formation of the Federal Government re
lates to the Tariff. The very first Congress
which met after the adoption of the Consti-
tuition of 1884, passed an Act levying Custom
house duties and therefore gave incidental
protection to the infant industries of the in
FAINT republic These duties were levied be-
cause the National Treasury was empty and
that method was supposed to be the best for
filling it. 1t is true Hamilton, in his mastery
report on manufacturers, advocated the pro
tective doctrine, but he also believed in free
trade with such nations as would give it to
us in return, Chat is what is meant by the
word reciprocity, and neither Hamilton nor
Henry Clay supposed the Tariff system would
become permanent, or that the duties would
soar to such tremendous heights.
Does the Government carry out the original
plan of its founders, when it makes a per-
manent policy out of a system which now

have patiently struggled to reverse that policy
and they have succeeded. The law of ex-

have re-entered Protestant Russia. In Pro
