CATCHING SHARKS
IN FLORIDA WATERS

George Isenberg has returned from
Florida where be had the contract for
erecting ten room house for T.. e.
Ringing. The house has three bath
rooms, electric lights and other modern
conveniences. The residence is near
that of John Ringling and on a
Florida bay.
Messrs. OFT, Harris and Merz were
with Mr.. Isenberg and while there
tried their luck at fishing. A stout
iron hook was fastened to rope which
was fastened to the pier. On one DC.
casion they caught shark which
weighed about three hundred pounds
and was all they could pull from the
water. On another occasion a shark
weighing 800 pounds was fooli b
enough to swallow the hook and then
the excitement began. Six men I'M
dertook to pull him upon the pier but
he almost drew them into the bay.
Then they coaxed him close enough
for gun practice and bullet ended
his career.
Mr. 1senberg likes the south but
Baraboo better. The weather was
getting very warm and during the
heat of the day the temperature was
oppressive. On the way home he
visited Atlanta, Chattanooga and
,ther famous places in Dixie.

A MUCH ABUSED HELP.

It is obvious we should be grateful
for all blessings, but blessings have
their accompanying pains perhaps the
doctrine of compensations; - perfect
bliss is not on earth for poor mortals.
Take the boasted modern blessing of
talking from a distance at will to our
friends, or our enemies, to those we
manage, or those who manage us, to
those we serve or who serve us, and
some Philistine will say the telephone
is his curse rather than his blessing
When he is just seated at luncheon
to the friend who promptly says he
time" or there is a self-satisfied in
quirer who wants him to answer the
conundrum Don't you know who is
speaking?" Should he take a chance
and say yes, he is surely wrong; if he
is honest and says no, the conceited,
persisted one will insist on his guess
ing. Perhaps the sharp, abrupt ques-
ton: "Who is speaking?" is put to
your gentle Hello" or Eyes," or "Mr
Smiths residence" It gives the SEN
sation of highwayman's pistol held
to ones head, your name or you're
lost?" Then there is the early en-
quirer after your health and well-being,
who rouses you from happy slumber
in dewy morning hours, or who wants
to give a parting message just as you
have turned out the light and snuggled
into bed. There is the interrupting
call which makes you just too late for
an important appointment, the chatter
box who will not let you go until ply
steal endurance is exhausted, the
family friend who telephones he will
drop in for meal and bring his friend
with him, and on the other hand the
pursuing friend who abruptly invites
you to do something, and before an
excuse can be framed, clinches that
engagement. One cannot forget the
calls that frantically summon us at
awkward moments, when to our tardy
answering the response comes, Opera
tor" or What number?" Then when
you want the butcher, the baker, and
operator gives you the undertaken,
or you ask for the w. c. T. U. and
are given the brewery. There is the
wild ringing you fear to answer be-
cause storm is coming, there is the
aggrieved response that you are not
the right number, and no thought of
your convenience, you are made to
feel it is disgraceful fault that you
are not the right number. Then there
are times when you want number in
great hurry and you cannot get
Central, to say nothing of the people
who speak too close to the instrument
or too far away.
There is magazine talk of con-
trivance that is being perfected which
will picture the speakers at the tele-
phone. There may be advantages,
but think of some of the costumes or
lack of costume in which we have
answered the telephones hasty sum-
mons-there would be decided dis

A CURE FOR THE BLUES.

What! Moping just because the skies
Are dull and dark and gray?
Detected, long-faced, just because
The rain beats down today?
Why, bless you, child, it doesn't help
To let the tears drip, too;
Just wipe your eyes and look around
For some good work to do.
There's nothing helps when you are
blue
Like helping set things right;
Kind service fills the darkest day
With sweetness and with light,
And when you're feeling out of sorts
The very wisest plan
Is to find out what others want
And help them all you can.
So look around and study up
Some helpful thing to do;
You'll find that cheering others lives
Will brighten life for you.
Look up the real unfortunates,
And ease their aches and pains,
And while you feel you're doing good
You'll never know it rains.

When he come in the mornin' with

On is watchin' all night, with the soul

Youthful till 1ife's set of sun,
Jealous till the crown is won.

PRIEsTLY vocATloNs.

The Acta Sanctae Sedis of July Is,
1912, contains letter of His Eminence
Cardinal Merry del Val to Mgr. de
Cormont, Bishop of Aire, France, on
priestly vocations, which is Of great
interest. One of the Bishops priests,
Canon Joseph Lahitton, wrote some
three years ago book entitled
"Priestly Vocations," in which, with
the aid of Scripture, conciliar DEGREES
and sayings of the Fathers of the
Church, he maintained that the divine
call to the priesthood is the invitation,
which the Bishop gives to the candi-
date to come forward and receive or
dination. Although this book received
commendatory letter from Cardinal
Merry del Val, which intimated also
the Holy Fathers approval, it never
theless evoked considerable adverse
criticism. What that was can be
cleaned from a careful perusal of the
decree contained in the following
letter:
May it please Your Lordship:
On account of the discussions occa-
stoned by the publication of the two
fold work of Canon Joseph Lahitton on
PriestIy Vacations and on account of
the doctrinal question raised therein,
our Holy Father Pope Plus x. has
deigned to nominate special commits
sion Of Cardinals.
This commission, after maturely
examining the various questions in
volved, has in it's full sitting of June
10th last made the following decision:
First, no one before the free choice of
the bishop has right to ordination;
Secondly, the condition, which should
be exacted of the candidate for Orders
and which is called vocation, does
not at all consist, at least necessarily
and as a general rule, in certain in
terror inspiration or in certain calls of
the Holy Spirit to enter the priest
hood, that the candidate may expert
ence; but Thirdly, just the reverse
nothing more is required in the candi-
date in order that he may properly be
called by his Bishop than right inten-
ton together with a fitness derived
from such gifts of grace and nature
and strengthened by such probity of
life and sufficiency Of instruction as
give a well-grounded hope that he may
be able to assume the Office of the
priesthood and in holy manner keep
it's obligations.
His Holiness has fully approved in
the audience of June Goth this decision
Of the Eminent Fathers and has
charged me to give notice of it to Your
Lordship that you may communicate
it for him to Canon Joseph Lahitton
and publish it in the weekly paper of
your diocese.

HOW A CATHOLIC SQUIRE RE-
cEIvED ROYALTY.

The recent visit of King George to
Weymouth, which, as his Majesty
was reminded in the address of the
Corporation, was the favorite seaside
resort of his great grandfather, George
III, revives interesting memories of
the relations of the latter monarch
with the then head of the famous old
Catholic house of Weld of Lulworth,
in Dorsetshire. When George III. was
frequenting Weymouth, says the Glas-
cow observer, the question of the
relaxation of the penal laws against
Catholics emancipation" in the full
sense, was still undreamt of was
much in the air, and the King was adj
vised that it would be polite and de-
sirable for him to pay some attention
to the Squire of Lulworth as one of
the most respected and influential of
his Catholic subjects. King George
accordingly drove over from Wey-
mouth to Lulworth Castle, and was
received with cordial loyalty by Mr..
Weld, whose children, including the
future Cardinal and the grandfather of
the present Squire, were gathered in
the hall, and sang God Save the
King as his Majesty entered. Asked
by the royal visitor If the whole family
was assembled. Mr. Weld replied that
one daughter was absent, being nun
OF the Order OF the Visitation in
French convent, and that owing to
the revolutionary troubles then dis
turbing France, they were in great
anxiety about her. "Get her out of
that" said the kindly monarch. Get
her over to England" But his host
rejoined that she would never leave
her sisters ia their hour of danger.
Bring them all over" replied King
George; and to the objection that the
penal laws then in force in England
would make this difficult, he answered
that he would himself provide them
with temporary home. The COM
munity was soon afterwards actually
granted refuge I'm one of the royal
palaces, whence it moved later to
Westbury, near Bristol After their
first visit to Lulworth, George III. ire
uuently saw and conversed with Mr.
Weld, for whom he conceived q sin

still preserved in the family, the royal

conversation turned frequently on re-
ligious subjects, and the king was
stated to be much perturbed by the
strong evidence brought before him
of the truth of the Catholic religion.
"Sir, sir" he is reported to have ex-
claimed in great agitation, after one
of these conversations, eff / turned

Polly and Marjorie Davenport had
always shared the same room. They
divided the bureau drawers with rigid
justice, and strict amiability. The
hooks in the closet were shared on the
same principles. And it was not till it

paper that trouble began.
There were o good many Daven-
ports, and so much money went to pay

furniture, that the rooms In the house
did not get papered very often. Hence
