bill prepared by the council commit.

and committee of the sanitary dis.
trict, giving the city power to con.
struct, own and operate a system If

front. Il was the decisive step
toward securing an outer harbor and
dock system which the mayor and
his advisers for months have been
working up to.

will have the power to condemn the
property It needs for it's purpose and
to construct and maintain any amount
Of docks and wharves that the bust.
ness of the city requires.
The sanitary district gets in on the
movement owing to the fact that It
has plenty of money, while the city
has not. Under the bill the sanitary
district will put up the cash for the
construction of the wharves and docks,
with the city having the privilege Of
buying them back on the installment
plan.

THE kNOCKER.

The man who sees but evil in the
action of others is the victim of a
diseased mind, says the London, Ont,
Catholic Record. He is also null
sance. He gorges himself with the
tit-bits of scandal and then gives the
public an itemized account of his
meal. Pessimistic with regard to
others, he is optimistic with regard to
himself. Ready to denounce his breth-
rem, he is ever certain that his perfect
self is immune to adverse criticism.
And so weaving tales and reports,
gloating ghoul-like over the reputa-
lions murdered by him, dabbling in I'M
charitableness, he spends sordid years.
Life has no glamour for him. He is
a stranger to the nobility and enthu-
siasm that cheers and encourages.
Deaf is he to the music of goodwill
and love, to the sounds that inspire
the worker and helper. And yet we
have no contempt for him. He but
cumbers the earth, an object lesson
to teach how life that can be fashioned
into a thing of beauty becomes, under
the touch of an evil mind, a poor,
tawdry, sordid and withal pathetic
thing.

The Hero of San Juan

"Now where shall l settle myself
for the morning? There are several
friends, waiting for coy, conf1den-
tial chats-mocking birds nesting in
the orange tree, and the red birds
over yonder in the apple trees. My
inclination leads me to the red birds
because from there can overlook my
new neighbours garden. I'll have to
own up to larger share of curiosity
than should rightfully belong to one
small person.
Book in hand, Marie Campbell
crossed the grassy terrace and seated
herself in a rustic bench underneath
giant apple tree, it's blossoms of
delicate pink forming a fragrant can
opy, while all around her nature and
spring rioted, the pear and plum trees
laden with fragrant snow, and the
white stars of the dogwood cleaning
against tender green's. The girl
leaned her chin in her hand and fell
into a reverie; the sweetness and the
beauty of it all embodied her and sank
deep into her soul, shutting out for a
space the world-the little world of
sordid cares and mean ambitions.
Suddenly across her vision there
flashed vivid flame of scarlet.
"Ah, there you are!" she cried, in
stantly alert. II thought you would
soon find me out-and there is your
little mate; you are nest-building,
aren't you?" In seeming answer to
her query the red bird dropped down
near her fete and, picking up straw,
flew high into the apple tree; in a mo-
ment he was back again, swaying on a
pink bough near her.
1--WE are old friends, aren't we?'
she said to him refectively. You've
been coming every spring for so long,
and you have taught me more than I
ever learned at Madam LaMont's
school. Do you know what is troub-
ling me, little bird? Aunt Margaret
wants me to marry Robert Reid-and
he wants me, too. And III don't
know what want

It was love-love and God and nature
that brought you and your little
mate together; but this is different.

INDULGENCES FOR FIRST COM
MUNlON.

At a season when so many little
children are making their Easter du-
ties for the first time in their lives, it
may not be amiss to recall the indul-
gences granted by Plus x, for the day
of first communion. The date of the
grant is July II, 1905. The indul-
gences are as follows: ID To the
first communicates themselves, plen-
airy indulgence on the condition of pre-
vious confession and of prayer for the
Pope's intentions. (2) To the parents
and relatives, down to the third de-
gree of relationship, plenary indul-
gence, if they assist at the first COM
munion, and, after confession, receive
Holy Communion and pray for the
Popes intentions. 60 To all assist
ing at the ceremony, an indulgence of
seven years and seven guarantees,
provided they be at least contrite for
their sins. These favors should en-
courage parents and relatives to join
the little ones at the holy table on
the occasion of their first communion.

THE NEVER-CEASlNG SACRIFICE
OF THE MASS.

Do Catholics ever think that the
Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is being
offered in some part of the world
every hour in some part of the world
every hour of their lives? When it
is midnight in New York, Masses are
beginning in the churches of Italy.
There ancient affairs, at which saints
have knelt, are lit up with tapers, and
the Vicar of Christ and thousands of
priests are lifting holy hands up to
heaven. A little later and the bells
of thousand towers of France begin
to sprinkle the air with holy sounds;
and in every city, town and hamlet,
kneeling crowds adore the Christening
hand of God, and pray for sinners who
despise His ordinances.
Chivalric and religious Spain catches
the echoes, and when it is one o'clock
in New York, offers the great sacrifice
in countless splendid churches. And

Saints" which has during many cen

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. JOHN BAPTIST DE Ia SALE.

From his earliest childhood John
Baptist longed to be priest; but the
loss of his parents and family cares
interrupted his course at st. Sulp1ce,
and he was twenty-seven years of age
before his ordination took place. He
was appointed a canon of the cathe-
dral at Rheims, his native town, and
there God inspired a pious layman to
seek his aid in founding a free school
for boys. The Saint devoted himself
eagerly to the work, and took the
teachers under his own charge.
Schools multiplied and demanded a
constant supply of teachers, whom
John Baptist had to train; and for
them he drew up rule of life. Thus
commenced the Institute of the Chris
tian Brothers for teaching the faith
to the ignorant. New members gath
cred rapidly, and teachers and schol-
ars led holy lives.
In the beginning of the Brotherhood
some of the pupil-teachers were much
disquieted by the uncertainty of their
future owing to the absence of endoW'
ments John Baptist exhorted them
most eloquently to trust in God. But
his words produced little effect; for
he still had his living as a canon and
his patrimony. At last his pupils told
him that when he was as poor as
themselves they would be more easily
persuaded. The Saint, seeing that his
preaching was useless without exam
pie, resigned his benef1ce, gave his
patrimony to the poor, and lived to his
last hour in absolute poverty with his
brethren.
Among the scholars were many
young hardened criminals whom nc
earthly punishments nor fear of hell
could move, but who were softened
and won by the patience and sweet
ness of John Baptist. Yet the Saint
had powerful enemies. The Jansen
lists hated him for his devotion to the
Holy See, and used all means to ruin
ssthe Roman priest" Through theil
influence he was deposed from his SUI
periorship, deprived of his revenues
and a rebellion stirred up among his
subjects. He left his cause in the
hands of God, and after ten years pa
tient waiting found himself unanl
mously elected general, and his Inst1
tute firmly established. He died A. D
1919.

THE EXCELLENCE OF MARY'S
PRIVILEGES.

So splendid and so glorious are the
privileges which God conferred on the
Virgin, that by them she was raised to
a sphere peculiarly her own in this
world, and was made subject OF ad-
miration even to the angels in heaven.
Quite too feeble are our compari-
sons to convey just idea of the sub
Unity of the treasures with which
Mary was enriched. Those treasures
were indeed quite other than gold and
precious pearls obtained from the seas
and the mountains. God has exalted
her in such a manner that among all
mere creatures she is the highest, the
most holy, and the most worthy OF
His love: worthy of the worthy" to
use the characteristic expression OF
st. Augustine. st. Gregory likens her
to a high mountain which, on account
of the elevation of it's peaks, rises
above all other mountains: Mary
was a mountain, in that, by her high
election, she towers above all chosen
creatures
The holy evangelist, John, repre-
sents her to us as illumined with
crown of stars, the moon as her foot-
stool clothed with the sun, in order
to distinguish between her and the
other saints, who also have their be-
ing in an atmosphere of light. So
exalted and so admirable does she ap-
pear, that she goes forth not only as
one adorned for the bridegroom, but
as the one adorned by the BRIDE
groom: as another Interpreter puts 1t:
Prepared as a bride adorned by her
husband" The same thought is to be
met with in the holy fathers, and is by
them expressed in terms which can
apply to Mary alone. They call her
the most splendid of miracles; the
miracle of the miracles of God; the
solicitude of the eternal council; the
most beautiful work which issued
from the Creators hands; the one
created for the one; the rainbow OF
salvation; the splendor of the omnl-
potence of God; the temple OF His
grace; the theatre of His glory; the
light of the divine heart; the ever
lovable and ever beloved Virgin;
finally they declare that she is the
one, the only one, worthy of the
Creator. These, and thousand other
expressions of a like nature which
are frequently to be found in the
works of the fathers, give us to un-
derstand how exalted are her prlvl-
leges and how highly we're they es'
teemed by those learned and sainted
authors.
Now what follows from all this
When thou meetest a person distln-
guished by privileges, thou renderest
honor to the person in the best man
ner thou knowest. This do proper
tionally towards the most holy Virgin
honor her all thou canst with all
homage; and be not afraid that thou
shalt overstep the just limits. Who
after God, is more deserving of al
worship? Examine the character OF
thy worship in the past; examine
whether thou hast at all times, in
mind and heart, esteemed and hon
ored her; whether, in her churches, al
the foot of her affairs, and before hel
images, thou hast evinced that mod
esty and respect to which she is on sc
many grounds entitled.

Almost Unanimous Against
County Division
Petitions Now Being Circu-
lated in Every Part of
Bayfield, County.

1t is evident that the people of
Bayfield, county are not going to
sit idly by and let the county be
sliced up without putting up a
big fight before the legislature.
This was made evident this week
when petitions were started in
every part of the county in pro-
test of bill which would take
from us so much valuable terri
tory and the sentiment is almost
unanimous against it. These
petitions will be taken to Madi-
son by the committee appointed
by the county board last week
and the fight will begin in earn
est. In drawing up the bill to
create the new county the or
iginators of the scheme have not
considered the wishes of the
people of the territory to be
sliced up, but have sliced right
and left in order to sort of even
up matters for the other coun-
ties. The bill proposes to take
ten townships from the eastern
part of Bayfield, county and give
the same to Ashland county, and
in return to give Bayfield, county
the Apostle Islands. In doing
this it leaves Bayfield, county
but narrow streak upon the
map with the northern end wild
ened out as if it had been run
over with the steam roller.
The towns Of Lincoln, Pratt
and Eileen and parts of the
towns of Mason, Cable and Pilsen
would be taken away from US if
the proposed billpasses the both
branches of the legislature. and
it's all being done in order to
make Park Falls a county seat.
Every citizen in Bayfield, coun-
ty should become interested in
the fight and do their utmost to
defeat the measure.
