A Clever RepIy.

Archbishop Ireland was urging one
of his senatorial friends to help the
church with his presence; but the
senator declined to be regular
churchgoer, giving his reason:
"One finds SO many hypocrites
there
But there is always room for one
more" said the genial prelate, as he
gripped the hand of his statesman

DR.. EGAN.

DIR. EGAN.
Receives the Laetare Medal Conferred
on Him Year Ago.
The fine services Of another Catholic
layman in the interests of truth and
the best conduct in life was made
the occasion of a brilliant function at
Notre Dame this week. His excel
lency, The Honorable Maurice Fran
els Egan, United States Minister to
Denmark, was the layman who was
crowned. From the hands of the pres
ident of the University of Notre Dame
he received the Laetare Medal which
had been awarded to him last year, but
which was not conferred because he
was attending to his diplomatic duties
in Copenhagen, Denmark, at the time
the award was made.
The University theater was crowded
with the friends of DR.. Egan and Il
large number of distinguished Catho-
lie clergy and laity.
After the Introductory address by the
presiding officer, an address on the
history of tie Laetare Medal was de.
liyered by the Honorable William j.
Onahan. This was followed by the
reading of kilograms and letters from
distinguished persons who could not
be present. Seldom has praise of the
character of that contained in the let
ters and te 'egrams been read in the
presence of a man honored by any
distinction on public stage. Cardinal
Gibbons wrote: II beg to offer to Mr.
Egan my most sincere congratulations
for this we'll deserved honor not, only
on account of my personal esteem
and long friendship for him, but also
on account of the great merits he has
gained by his writings which have all
ways been marked by spirit of 10y
atty to our faith" The President of
the United States wrote: do not
know anyone upon whom you could
confer this honor who more deserves
it." Ex-president Roosevelt wrote:
"Mr. Egan is my close personal friend,
and he represents the highest type
of scholar and diplomat; and more
over, he represents what is even
higher than scholarship and diplomacy,
for he represents the highest type of
citizenship; there is no position in
the diplomatic service which he could
not fill with distinguished ability and
I wish him long career in that SER
vice; and yet, I hope he will not per-
init his diplomatic duties to divert
him from his literary work. He is
the type of good American of whom
all good Americans must feel proud"
Archbishop Ireland wrote: "Notre
Dame in electing into the ranks of
its heroes the Honorable Maurice
Francis Egan has proven it's correct
ness of judgment, it's keenness of
scent in discovering true worthiness
congratulate Notre Dame on it's rare
luck in being able to inscribe on it's
scroll of fame a name so bright, so
worthy, as that of Mr.. Egan.' The
Danish Minister wrote: 81 know and
appreciate in the recipient of the high
est distinction within the gift of your
faculty, the rarely gifted man of let
ters as much as the truly upright
friend and colleague" Archbishop
Spalding of Peoria wrote: "You could
not have chosen a more worthy man
upon whom TO confer this distinction"
In his speech of acceptance DR.. Egan
made clear the duties of the Catho-
lie layman for the spread of the in
fluence of the Church. The ceremon-
les in the college theater were fol-
lowed by reception in the University
parlors.

tings, seem to have the least power
OF making anybody's pulse beat faster.
There are some slight personal col
lisions, but the honest chroniclers
must confess that never did revolu-
tion go to it's predestined end amid
such popular tranquility.
A visit to the house of lords during
the last few weeks, was extremely in
teresting to all politicians, but espe.
cially to politicians of radical opinions.
For there was sight there which
might we'll have made them all rub
their eyes and wonder whether they
were awake or dreaming. There were
the peers assembled with three-fourths
of them on the tory side of the house,
and three-fourths, if not more, of them
representing the broad acres and the
feudal prejudices OF the English aris.
tocracy.
Although some of them are modern
in creation, many OF these peers go
back in their history to the roots and
the beginnings of English history;
and one might well imagine that we
were still in the spacious days of
Elizabeth or the Stuarts, so many are
the historic names that date from that
epoch and that, even in that remote
period, held, as they hold today, high
places in the government of England
and the British empire. Indeed, no
body can understand the English char
acter or English history who does not
realize how unchanged the political
transformations that have come with
in the last three-quarters of century.
Take, for instance, the ministry that
existed in the days when Lord Sails
bury was still premier and leader of
the tory party. He was Cecil; Mr..
Balfour, leader of the house of COM
mons, was his nephew and son of
Cecil. Lord Granborne, the elder son
of Lord Salisbury, was of course a
Cecil and held Office as under secre-
tary for foreign affairs, and, in fact,
so numerous were the Cecils in the
ministry that it came to be known
as the Hotel Cecil, and Cecil ruled
England In theaddys 81 Queen Eliza
beth. This little preface is necessary
to make the reader realize the extra
ordinary spectacle which is now pre-
sented by the house of lords.
For at this moment the assembly
representing the conservatism, and the
extraordinary changeableness of
England is led by Lord Morley. In
all the freaks and ironies of political
fortunes was there ever a. greater
Lord Morley. In all the freaks and
ironies of political fortunes was there
ever greater freak, profounder
ironry than this? Lord Morley is the
son Of a hard worked doctor of Black
burn, one of the great cotton centers of
Lancashire, the town which sends the
SOclallst, Phlnp SnOWden, to the mouse
of commons. AS he himself has often
and he owes his education and ihs
start in life to scholarship bequeath-
ed to an Oxford college by good old
Catholic and orthodox bishop of me-
dieval times. This scholarship and his
brilliant intellectual gifts won all his
possessions when he came to London
and resolved to embark his fortunes
on the stormy and uncertain seas OF
the metropolis; which like all other
great cities, can be at once the best
friend when success comes, and the
hardest stepmother to the provincial
during his years of struggle and OBJ
scurity.

DR.. Archibald Johnson, OF Charity

to passing out captain and major

Doesn't he know that il Ashley
Horne had been elected Governor,
we would have been a full-fedged
colonel on his staff, gold braid, brass
buttons and all?"
That's it. Once before when DR..
Johnson fell upon the ma iOrs and the
colonies with his club The Landmark
cited Col Harris case to him and
asked him to make a special excep-
ton. When Ashley Horne failed nf
the governorship and Col. Harris
failed of direct appointment as col
onel, his friends, feeling that he had
fully earned the title ia thestrenuous
warfare he made for Horne, proceed
ed to place him on the list; and we
must again ask Dr.. Johnson to ex-
cept Col. Harris by name when he
goes after the colOnels, for every time
he takes Il shot Col. Harris jumps as
il the doctor was aiming directly at
him. The doctor may intend to ex-
cept his friends but he should say so
and not leave them in doubt, and if
he is IL friend of Col Harris he will
hereafter bear his case in mind. The
Landmark has a special interest in
this case because it helped to make
Harris n colonel, and moreover if DR..
Johnson keeps up his war on the

The Brightest Spot On Earth.

Ahappy home is the brightest spot
on earth that the eye of God looks
down upon, says a writer. Love and
peace in his home sends sunshine
around the man wherever he goes;
but let there be disorder and trouble,
and there is misery everywhere. There
are few worries of life which a man
cannot now and then shake oil, but
who can shake himself free from the
skeleton in the closet. from the worry
of the household. blister on the
heart? A day will tell how rlany
man carried that with him without
wincing down to the grave When
husband and wife are hplpmate to
each other in the best sense; when
order and love and goodness prevail
in the house, then the man who has
hard battle in life to fight can leave
his struggles behind him when he
enters there. With all our faults we
are the most home loving of people,
and that is the reason why we ARE the
greatest OF people. Whatever helps
home life is national blessing;
whatever hurts home life is a national
curse, and the greatest curse that
can touch these blessings is what
would tamper with the peace and
blessedness of our homes.

Foodstuffs First.
Greensboro News.

Greensboro News.
We have tried our hand at advi--
ing diversity OF crops 20 often and
so persistently that some may think
us cranks on the subject, but let that
go, we still insist that it is one of the
most important problems confront
ing large number of our people.
In the spring when cotton or to-
bacco promises large prices the
temptation for a farmer to devote
almost his entire time to these money
crops is strong, and, sometimes, in
fact, altogether too often, he yields
to that temptation.
But now, when winter is coming
on, when he finds that he must sell
his money crop at whatever prices
he can get for it because he has not
the means to live and pay his debts
while he holds it, when he awakes to
a realization OF the lamentable fact
that he has paid so much attention
to his own main crop that he has
not provided foodstuffs for himself
and his stock during the winter, the
question assumes a different aspect.
We do not care what may he the
price of cotton or tobacco or any
other crop which must be sold to be
OF any service to it's producer, we
still insist that no man can have the
greatest possible amount of success
as d farmer who does not first and
foremost provide himself with all his
own needs from his own farm as
nearly as he can and then devote his
secondary and not his primary at
tentiOn to crop which is for sale
and useful only when sold.

most delightfully."- on Monday evening
during the Christmas holidays. Their
hospitable home, "Mistletoe Villa" was
never more attrac tive than in its decora-
ton OF holly and mistletoe and garlands
OF Christmas green. They had invited
number OF their friends and those OF their
attractive children to come and make
merry with them over a Christmas tree
and a visit from Santa Claus. A Jolly
party OF forty or more gathered and the
little folks were all eagerness until the
signal was given that Santa Claus had
arrived and was asking to see them. All

with JOY and the children of elder growth
were quite as eager in their ordinations
OF delight at the effect. With Jest and
jolly good humor Santa Claus, aided by
some OF the young men present, distribu-
ted the many beautiful gifts which the
husband and hostess had provided for
every one present. All were made happy
and the Christmas spirit reigned supreme.
When the children's (?) had blown their
horns and beaten their drums to their
hearts content, they were invited to lead
the way into the dining room where ii
possible, an even more delightful sur
prise greeted them. In the center OF the
table, which was covered with crystal
bespangled cotton was a reindeer sleigh
all white and frosty with Santa Claus
nodding from the seat. Tiny Christmas
trees were placed around the table and
the touch of color was added by brilliant
poinsettias.
When cream was served to the little
folks in the shape of Santa Claus their
Joy knew no bounds-but they ate him
with evident relish. Cream and cake, con-
tectioneries and fruits were served to the

And long, dark days, and winds and snow
Days when our hearts were filled with cow

When we could claim no answered prayers.
But ali! the sunny days you brought US

When earth was green and skies were blue,
And just to live and breathe the sun-warmed

To watch the glory everywhere
Was luxury, and hearts grew strong, aud

Revived, nor will we fear to cope
With yelled possibilities that stand
Laden with gifts for US on either hand
Like sentinels about your dying day.
For now welift our eyes and hearts and say
80, Father, God, while Thou art near
We trust in Thee-we will not fear
And so to the Old Year we say goodbye,
Since tits Gods will that thou should'st die
Who knows? Perchance upon the other
shore
Well meet again where time is DER
