Throw Away The "Chain Letter

1t takes long time for foolish things
TO die, at least some of them. One OF
the most persistent OF these foolish
things is the A" chain letter." especially
the one worded AS prayer and which
threatens untold wrath and judgement
upon the recipient Of the letter who
does not make copies of the letter and
send TO three persons who, in turn, are
urged TO follow the process under the
same threat OF pains and penalties.
Doubtless il is commingling of religious
sentiment with superstition that &C
counts mainly for this nuisance. For
the religious sentiment one can accord
respect, but as for the superstition, but
shows lack of common sense and sub
serviency of fear. The only sensible
thing TO 10 with chain letter is 10 put
il in the waste paper basket.

w. G.. II. u. Notes

Commenting on prospective legisla-
ton intended to deprive the saloon
keeping of his license who is found
guilty of selling liquor 10 man
already intoxicated, the Catholic Rec
ord, leading representative OF its
chuch, says: "Wo uld it not be better
TO take away the license before the
anticipated victim of the bar gets his
first glass;" The bartender is within
his rights TO give out Intoxicating
drink To a man 10 place him far on the
road to brutality, TO bring him, as il
were, even below the beasts. But he
becomes liable il he continues the
doses when there appears TO be danger
of brainstorm or helplesness. Truly
the liquor traffic is an unlovely thing.
What cast iron conscience the bar
keeper must have, hour after hour, day
after day, sending the souls To perdi-
ton for so much per week! And what
of his employer, the saloonkeeper?
Does he ever take thought when
emptying his cash register, that every
tap OF the key has meant step back
ward for some poor unfortunate who
had, through saloon assistance, con-
tracted the liquor traffic"

BRYAN On mortality

In beautiful funeral Grafton al the

ing TO the life hereafter.
81 shall not believe thai even now
his light is exlinguished. Ii the Faith
er designs 10 touch with divine power
the cold and pulseless heart OF the
buried acorn, and make il burst forth
from its prison walls, will lie leave
neglected in the earth the soul of man,
who was made in the image Of his
Creator? III He stoops To give the rose
bush, whose withered blossoms float
upon the breeze. the sweet assurance of
another spring time, will He withhold
the words OF hope from the sons Of men
when the frosts of winter come? III
matter, mute and lnanim ate, though
changed by the forces of nature into a
multitude OF forms, can never die, will
the imperial spirit of man suffer ami
hilation after il has paid brief visit,
like royal guest, TO this tenement of
clay?
Rather let US believe that He, who,
in His apparent prodigality, wastes not
the raindrop, the blade of grass or the
evenings signing zephyr, but makes
them all carry out His eternal plans,
has given Immortality TO the mortal,
and gathered TO Himself the generous
spirit of our friend"
