Of George Larkin, Edward Brenner
and esquire" Edward Leonard, II

shot a dog, thinking II was a rabbit,
and was forced TO pay S5 to an irate
farmer. The Squire swears positively
It vast him, and Brenner states that
his long experience as pound-keeper

Doing.
MANY NEW MEMBERS RECEIVED

The general meeting of the St.
Vincent de Paul Society was held
Sunday afternoon in the assembly
room of the Knights of Columbus on
Fourth avenue, with an attendance
of about 900 men from the various
parishes of the city. Features of the
meeting were the addresses of the
Rev. Father George Schuhmann,
ID. D., Rev. Eugene Donahue, the
Spiritual Director, and Rev. Father
Deepen, and the presentation of a
handsome gavel to President John j.
Caffrey by the Sacred Heart church
conference. The meeting was called
to order promptly at 2:30 o'clock by
President Caffrey and the opening
prayer was offered by Rev. Father
Donahue, of the Cathedral. interest
ing reports followed, showing the
number of families cared for during
the past three months along with
members of same, visits made, situa-
tions secured, which is the funda-
mental work OF the st. Vincent de
Paul Society. While this society
works for the poor and sick in a
quiet and effective manner and
without making public its great
charity, II Is only Just to state that
during the past quarter 1913 families
and AIS persons we're visited and as
sisted by the Vincentians. Secretary
Thomas Bohan read a number of in
teresting reports, which we're sup
plemented by John Doyle, who made
a strong appeal for the boys who
have to leave asylums and orphan
homes when they reach the age Of
fourteen. Will Harmon reported the
work done for the poor in the City
Hospital. Aims House, sanitariums
reports had been received about fifty
new members were enrolled by
President. Caffrey, who in an in
structive address dwelt on the indul-
gences granted to the society. The
Vincentians. he said. are not adver-
tising their works, which we're for
God and his poor, Protestant and
Catholic alike.
Rev. Father Schuhmann, OF St..
Johns church, was warmly greeted
when introduced, and his address
was pronounced one of the best ever
heard at a general meeting. They
we're. he said. fast approaching the
season OF Christmas and the coming
of our Divine Lord, when charity
should fill the hearts OF men, who
should remember that the last grand
act will be the general judgment
when account viii be taken OF our
care of the poor. After dwelling on
the spiritual and temporal advan-
tages to be realized from alleviating
distress and poverty, he turned to
the conditions OF poverty and who
are the poor. Father Schuhmann
declared that according TO the last
census there we're 1O.00O.00O who
were poorly fed, clothed and housed.
Saying u was beneficial TO come in
contact with the poor, that charity
throws open the door OF heaven and
that poverty was no stain, he quoted
Abraham Lincoln, who said; '4rhe
Lord must love the poor because he
made 80 many" Contrast teaches
how little is really needed 10 make

ANGLO GERMAN WAR SCARES.

Within the past few years there has been
a growing feeling of fear between the peo-
pie of England and those of Germany.
Every few months in one or the other of
these countries wave of apprehension
would occur, the origin which would be
found in the feeling that the other nation
was secretly planning for sudden attack.
This was always promptly and officially de-
MED, but the denial was generally viewed
as diplomatic lie, and little attention was
paid to it. At present there is one of these
scares on in both England and Germany.
They are remarkable in being coincident
with strenuous efforts to secure authorize
ton for large additions to the navy. A
reader of the English and the German
press would think that war is inevitable
and imminent. In this connection an in
terview by prominent Canadian who has
recently returned from Europe is very sug-
gestive. He says that there is no feeling
of enmity among the people of either Eng
land or Germany, but that the periodical
war scares are kept up by gun and armor-
makers in Germany and by ship builders
and gunmakers in England. There are
hundreds of millions invested in these con-
Germs, and they must have business. The
ouiJ "oy " ASOP ouoJ 10 w 1he1nO SAO POo-
pie feel that there is imminent danger of
war, and that armies and navies must be
constantly increased. In Germany the po-
ltical power of the gunmaker Krupp is
comparable with that popularity ascribed
to Rockefeller and Morgan in this country.
In England SO many journalists and law
makers are stockholders in the concerns
making war munitions that their self inter-
est must far too often govern their utter
ances and acts. Thus "vested interests, -
the private pocketbook, are found at the
root of public feeling and civic extrava-
gance. The profits of ship builders and
gunmakers must come out of the pockets
of the rank and file of the people. Every
farmer and every wage-earner must con-
tribute his share. This burden of taxation
is kept up by war scares, and these spells
of public panic are deliberately made to
order by those selfish and immoral inter-
ests which are ready to profit by them.
These interests are at war with honesty,
civic growth and economics.

Bible Brilliants.

Then began men to call upon the name
of the Lord.-Genesis iv, 26.
Yet did not the chief Butler remember
Joseph, but forgat him.-Genesis XII %.
When thou art come into the land which
the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt
not learn to do after the denominations of
those nations.-Deuteronomy xviii, 8.
A land which the Lord thy God careth
for: the eyes of the Lord thy God are al
ways upon it, from the beginning of the
year even unto the end of the year.
Deuteronomy XII, IL.
For what glory is it, if, when We be buff
feted for your faults, We shall take it pa
tiently? but if, when We do we'll, and suffer
for it, We take it patiently, this is accepta-
table with Cod. Peter ii, 20.
But take diligent heed to do the COM
mandment and the law, which Moses the
servant of the Lord charged you, to love
the Lord your God, and to walk in all his
ways, and to keep his commandments, and
to cleave unto him, and to serve him with
all your heart and all your soul.-Joshua
xxi B.

S0Iicits Funds of Louislanians.

Baton Rouge, Aug. 18.-Following his
acceptance of position on the national
campaign committee and the craftsmanship
of the finance committee for Louisiana,
Gov. Hall has lost no time in appealing to
the Democrats of the State to contribute to
the campaign fund.
The Governor issued call o-day to all
Democrats to contribute as literally as their
means would permit. Here is the letter:
To the Democrats of Louisiana:
Having been selected by the Demo-
cratic National Campaign Committee as a
member and chairman for the State of
Louisiana of its finance committee, l hereby
solicit campaign contributions from all
Democrats and earnestly urge each to con-
tribute as literally as he is able to do. 1t
is his party duty thus to assist in winning
the great victory promised by the nomina-
ton of Gov. Wilson.
The people of Louisiana have a pecu-
liar interest in this campaign as a result
of the advanced position taken by the party
in its platform in relation to the subject of
the improvement of the Mississippi River
and in committing the party to the policy
of assuming charge of the great work OF
protecting the people living along its course
from inundation.
All contributions may be made directly
to me or through any newspaper in the
State undertaking to receive contributions

Maple Tree Cost S42O.

Young Harris, Ca, August 15.-J. M.
Buchanan of Brasstown, N. c., has pur-
chased tree from Bud Collins, of Motley
River, paying 500 for it standing in the
woods, thirty miles from railroad twas
of the variety known as the pinch figured
curly maple, and it was the biggest tree in
this section, being eight feet in diameter at
the stump, and five feet in diameter seven
ty- eight feet above the stump, with no knot
or limb in that distance.
This immense stick scaled $1,000 feet of
lumber. It cost Buchanan $500 to get the
tree cut, divided into sections and hauled
to the railroad at Murphy. The sections
will make solid carload and will be sent
to Baltimore to be turned into veneer.

A few Louisiana newspapers have sud-
denly awaken from an eight-year Rip Van
Wrinkle slumber to find that the schools are
in politics, which they " view with alarm, -
and much righteous indignation. When
their favorite candidate was using the
school system for all that it was worth to
boost his candidacy for Governor, the
schools were not in politics, from their
viewpoint. But any effort now to smash
the school ring which has wrought SO much
injury to our school system during the past
eight years, is putting the schools in poll
tics, they contend, and is highly reprehen-
sible. Clear as mud! Truly, "There are
none so blind as those who can see and
won't see.''
