CAUGHT UNAWARES.

No man begins to drink with the in
tention of becoming drunkard, says
writer in Everybody's Monthly. If
indeed the order of experiences were
reversed, and the penalty preceded
the pleasure, where would there be
a drunkard at all? If the delirium ire
mems went before the career of dissi-
patton, instead of after it, who would
pay the price of delirium tremens for
all the pleasure that was to follow it?
But every drunkard thinks to snatch
the pleasure and escape the penalty.
He intends to stop short before the
danger point is reached, however, the
faculty of self-judgment and self
measurement is seriously impaired.
There is an island in the midst of the
sloping flood of Niagara, just above
the point where that vast wilderness
of water tumbles over into the abyss.
The boat that is caught In the cur
rent may still be saved by making for
the island. The man who Is caught in
the current of intemperance calcu-
lates that he can still steer his boat
to the island of abstinence or of strict
sobriety. Fond infatuation! His hand
is unsteady; his brain is in a whirl;
his spirit is COMPOUNDED with the rush
and thunder of the waters; his eye
sees double. There are two islands,
three islands, ten islands; there is no
island at all-not one other landing
place between him now and the curl
ing lip of the cataract He swims
over the lip. He is sucked down into
the depths. He is dashed to pieces on
the rocks, and the mangled form, all
that is left of him, is washed ashore
among the wandering eddies and spent
spray a mile below the fall. The illus
tration is extreme, you say, or it is but
a partial application. Is it not one,
ask, that is verified in some one within
the circle of acquaintance of every
one of you? And was there, ask again,
a single one of those in whom it has
been verified, who would not have been
one day as ready to laugh at the idea
of its application to himself as you are
ready to laugh to-day? Is human ma
ture one thing in you, another thing
in all the world besides? Is the awful
law OF averages by force of which an
nuity companies and insurance COM
panies live and flourish, going to be
set aside for the benefit OF the present
generation of transgressors?

THE THREE-FOLD MISSION OF
WOMAN.

Not long ago the members of
the Union of Catholic Ladies of
Italy who assembled in Rome for
conference on social subjects
were received in private audience
by His Holiness, the Pope. In the
course of his address he took ocea-
sion to emphasize his appreciation
of woman's power of self-sacrifice.
"They call you a weak SEX, said
the Pontiff, "but you can give
astounding examples of fortitude
-fortitude of which those So
called strong men who do not
understand the sublime virtue of
self-sacrifce, are incapable
After having paid woman this
fine tribute, the Holy Father de-
fined her mission as three-fold. Tt
is mission for the propagation of
religion by the diffusion of religious
knowledge; a mission for the pro-
motion Of charity by the succoring
of the poor and the helping of
those who are exposed to tempta-
ton; and a mission of self-sacrifce
on behalf Of others in which wom-
an has always distinguished her
self. Our Catholic women should
take these words Of the Holy Faith
err to heart and strive to actual
lie In their daily lives the high
ideals which he has held up for
them.

CHURCH LOSSES IN MINNIE
sofa.

One of the principal causes of
loss to the Catholic Church in the
United States is, according to Bish-
OPP Canevin, the inadequate supply
of priests and churches. All who
have studied the question are
agreed that this has been one of
the most prolific sources of that
leakage which all deplore even
though it is not nearly so great as
some maintain. There can be little
doubt that, in districts more re-
mote from the centers of church

activity, many Catholics were de-
prived Of an opportunity to prac-
tice their religion and, in the course
of time, grew careless even if they
did not affiliate themselves with
some of the sects whose meeting
houses were at their doors. Nor
could it be expected that their
children, with such meagre OBJ
portunities for instruction in Cath
Ollie doctrine, would grow up faith
full members Of the Church of their
ancestors. It was not unnatural
for them to join their friends and
companions in non-Catholic serv-
ices and, as the years went by,
to forget that they were not born
aliens to the Catholic faith.
In the State Of Minnesota tits
safe to say that, even in the early
days, comparatively few Catholics
forsook the Church for any other
denomination. There was always
a fairly good proportion of priests
to the Catholic population. 1t is
true that, prior to the beginning
Of organized church activity con-
sequent upon the erection of the
Diocese of st. Paul in 1851, priests
were few; but it must be remem-
bered that the number of Catho-
lies was likewise small. The pio-
neer priests Of Minnesota were
truly apostolic men. They made
it point, even at the expense of
great personal sacrifice and hard
ship, to visit from time to time
the most distant localities where
Catholics resided and give them
an opportunity to practice their
religion. The Bishops of St. Paul
made special efforts to provide
priests for their scattered flock
and at intervals they sent their CO.
laborers, or went themselves, to
break the bread Of life to those
farthest removed from their Epis-
copal See.
There were settlements, no
doubt, which sprung up so quick
ly that provision for the ministra-
ton of a priest could not be made
for time; but such places were
few, and the spiritual needs Of
their Catholic inhabitants were
provided for at the earliest pos
sible moment. One has but to
read the records Of early mission
airy activity in Minnesota to real
ize the truth of this. The pioneer
priests were continually on the
move from place to place saying
Mass, administering the sacra-
ments, preaching and instructing
the handfuls Of Catholics who al
ways assembled to greet them
when they arrived in the settle
ment So successfully was this
work carried ON that, it may be
said with truth, comparatively few
lost the faith for want Of an op-
portunlty to practice their rellg-
ion.
The older missionaries and
priests Of the Diocese bear wit
ness to the fact that very few Of
the Catholic people to whom they
ministered ever actually aposta-
tized, or renowned the church of
their forefathers. They might
grow careless for a time, they
might even cease to be practical
Catholics, but few formally allied
themselves with other churches or
ceased to consider themselves
Catholics, at least in name. Under
such circumstances why should
they be numbered among those
who are lost to the faith?

Williams Panama Canal Bill, which
ill, if they become law. permit the
registry of foreign built vessels under

Off The Track

We have got to disagree with Rev. Lichliter of that
big st. Louis church, chairman of that cty's public
morals committee who justifies lying on the ground
that the duty of truthteling lies within the realm
where others have right to the truth; one has
a right to ask prying or malicious question"
We think this a mighty cross-eyed view OF moral
ity and mighty poor doctrine to incucate into our
youth. lie is lie, and never justifiabe. There
is realm combining the duty of truth-telling.
Given the alternative of lying telling truth that
seriously hurts there is always a way out by
silence.
It is perhaps true, as rule, that one has a
right to ask prying or malicious question. But
shall instruct children to lie under such cir
cumstances, or to frankly declare to the prying
malicious questioner that the matter is of his
or her blamed business7
There is already too much lying, too much evasion
too much flattery too much false diplomacy in our
association with one another. The fellow who asks
a malicious otherwise Objectionable question is
not entitled to the facts But that does not justify
our lying. On the contrary, he is entitled to the
truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth,
which is that the matter is of his business.
Such answer is both polite and moral It clears
the atmosphere and leaves both parties perfectly
sured as to their positions. To say that lying is
justfiable is saying that deceit better than frank
ness and this is not so.

Eighteen months ago there
were three uses for thick wooden
socks In the United States. Peo-
pie either wore them, deposited
money in them, or filled them
with baked potatoes and tied
them around their necks when
they had sore throats.
Theodore L. Weed eliminated
the sock as a depository for sur
plus funds. AS manager of the
national postal savings banks the
people have come to trust him
with money they used to put in
the bottom of the old coal range
and then forget about II until
they lit fire and burned 1t up.
He is the best friend the Wild
ows and orphans ever had. They
are turning over a million dollars

with which he wrote out the
name of depositor No. 1 is hardly
dry.
He has opened 10000 banks
and the total deposits to date are
almost $50,0O0,000. All of which
means that Teddy Weed, in spite
of his little mustache and less
