per cent interest. The plan is
simple and systematic. There will be
different classes of members For in
stance, one class will start in by
paying one cent the first week, two
cents the second week, three cents the
third week. and so on for fifty weeks,
the last weeks payment amounting to
fifty cents. Members in this class will
receive checks two weeks before Christ
mas for $1275 with interest, or they
may reverse the order of payments by
paying fifty cents the first week ami
paying one cent less each succeeding
week which brings the last weeks pay
ment down to one cent. There will also
be classes starting with two cents and
i've cents. Payments must be made
promptly every week or i'm advance for

ProgressIves VIII Not Make Terms, Says
Roosevelt.

Theodore Roosevelt made 1t plain at
the Progressive conference in Chicago
Tuesday that the program of the Pro-
gressive party does not contemplate
making terms with the Republican party
as a party. He said in effect that the
new party had come to stay and ex-
pected eventually to attract to its ban
ner the Progressives who still gave al
legiance to the Republican and Demo-
cratic organizations.
4, AS to leadership, Col. Roosevelt said
the events of the next year or two could
be trusted to develop the best man, who
must be chosen without reference to
their own desires but solely with regard
to the needs of the people

words, "Our Father who art in
heaven direct our thoughts and as
pirations to God in heaven, where the
just shall enjoy eternal glory; and
they inspire sentiments of filial love
and confidence in asking assistance
for ourselves and all others.
The first desire of every soul that
loves God must be that He should be
glorified by being known, loved, hon.
ored, and served by all His creatures
His glory is to be desired even more
than our own happiness. For this,
first of all, therefore, we are taught
to pray, "Hallowed be Thy name"
| Gods kingdom in this world is the
one true Church; the glory of His
kingdom is revealed to the saints in
heaven. In the second petition, "Thy
kingdom come" we ask God to govern
us here in all things by His grace, and
| to bring all men into the one true
Church on earth, and into the glory Of
His kingdom hereafter.
In the third petition, "Thy will be
done on earth as it is in heaven" we
plead for grace to conform our will in
all things to the holy will of God, that
We may be free, having the liberty of
the children of God, even as the angels
and saints in heaven.
In the fourth petition we pray for
all necessities for soul and body. "Give
us this day our daily bread" In the
sacred text st. Matthew has super
substantial bread" st. Luke has
daily bread" The word ''supersub-
stantial' impresses the truth that
every blessing, whether spiritual or
r. oil 70 roh
living bread which came down from
heaven" the body and blood of Jesus
Christ in the Blessed Sacrament of
the Eucharist
Forgive us our trespasses as we
forgive those who trespass against us"
is the fifth petition. 1t includes and
emphasizes the obligation to love our
neighbor as ourselves. Whoever re-
fuses to forgive others asks for his
own condemnation as often as he re-
peats this prayer. The common use of
the word ''trespasses" in place of
debts" in this petition accords with
the sacred text, For if you will for
give men their offences, your heavenly
Father will forgive you also your
offences"
Lead us not into temptation" is the
sixth petition. God does not lead us
into temptation, but He will give to all
who ask it the grace to overcome
temptation. This petition, therefore,
teaches us to turn to Him for help
and protection in every trial that en-
dangers the welfare of the soul.
In the seventh petition, Deliver us
from evil" we beg God to free us from
the one great evil-sin. We ask also
to be delivered from all evils of soul
and body, but as temporal evils are, in
sense, only relative, and may be
blessings in disguise, we must pray
with entire submission to the will of
I God, willing to endure, with the as
/ sistance of His grace, whatever evils
may befall us, hoping for an eternal
reward.

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. MARTIN OF TOURS.

When mere boy, Martin became a
Christian catechumen against his
parents wish; and at fifteen was
therefore seized by his father, a
pagan soldier, and enrolled in the
army. One winters day, when sta
toned at Amiens, he met beggar
almost naked and frozen with cold.
Having no money, he cut his cloak in
two and gave him the half. That
night he saw our Lord clothed in the
half cloak, and heard Him say to the
angels, Martin, yet a catechumen,
hath wrapped Me in this garment. :"
This decided him to be baptized, and
shortly after he left the army. He
succeeded in converting his mother;
but being driven from his home by
the Ariens, he took shelter with ST..
Hilary, and founded near Poitiers the
first monastery in France. In 372, he
was made Bishop of Tours. His flock,
though Christian in name, was still
pagan in heart. Unarmed, and at
tended only by his monks, Martin de-
stroyed the heather temple and groves
and completed by his preaching and
miracles the conversion of the people,
whence he is known as the Apostle
of Gaul. He next came into conflict
with the Emperor Maximus, and
though he strenuously defended the
rights of the Church against the SOW
ereign, he condemned himself severely
for having once for the sake of peace
yielded, as he thought, to an unworthy
compromise His last eleven years
were spent in humble toll to atone for
his fault, while God made manifest by
miracles the purity of his soul The
Saint was bowed down by his eighty
years when he started off to distant
part of his diocese to settle quarrel
among his clergy. On his homeward
journey his strength suddenly failed
him, and he felt his end approaching.
He caused himself to be laid in sack
cloth and ashes with his face towards
heaven, that his spirit might, as it
were, be setting out on it's journey.
Then the enemy, watchful to the last,
appeared at his side Beast of
blood" said the Saint, why standest
thou here? Deadly one, thou shalt
find no part in me; Abraham's bosom
is receiving me-" With these words he
died.

HOLY MASS SAID EVERY HOUR.

Catholics rarely stop to think that
the Sacrifice of the Mass is being
offered in some part of the world
every hour. When it is midnight in
Philadelphia, Masses are beginning in
then Spain, Ireland and the islands of
the Atlantic. A little later the mis-
sionary of the icebound coast of
Greenland elevates the chalice of sal
walton. At the noon hour in our Amer
lean cities the Pacific Islands make
ready to receive our Lord.
The brave priests who have ven
tured into the Far East, in Tibet,
China, etc., begin each in turn the
celebration of the Holy Sacrifice,
from which they gain the courage and
strength necessary for their apostle
late.
On the altar of Hindoostan, where
st. Francis Xavier administered the
faith, the candles are again lighted ];
Poland and Siberia give divine conso.
lation to the poor Catholics within the
fold; and so on, in an overwhelming
circle that finally embraces the entire
globe, the Blessed Host rises as in.
faIIibIy as the sun over the heads OF
the faithful.
Heroic missionaries have accom-.
plished this mighty feat-men imbued
with the spirit of self-immolation and
ready to lay down life itself in order
that these words may be fulfilled: "In
every place there is sacrifice, and
there is offered to My name a clean
oblation"

THE FULFILLMENT

Karl Hermann, the cobbler of
Windthorst, poised his hammer in mid
air. His eyes looked up from the big
sole of the plain, rough shoe on his
knee, and he gazed out of the little
window in front of him, the window
that faced the quiet street of the vii
lage.
I had been standing in the shop
for some time. I often visited him
at his work, for despite the fact that
he was twice as old as I, we were
fast friends and he had often given
me his confidence. Today he seemed
not to notice me. Now his eyes left
the window and turned back to the
shoe on his knee. Again and again
they were raised and he looked
dreamily out of the window. STEP
ped over to peer out of the window,
too; to see what he saw. saw only
the quiet street, with man hobbling
along with a cane, a woman with him
and child between the two. And
in the distance l saw the modest
steeple of the village church, the
Church of St. Boniface, where the
German immigrants who had founded
Windthorst fifty years ago, among
them the parents of Karl Hermann,
worshipped in the faith that Boni-
face had brought to their ancestors
in the wild Teutonic forests ages
ago.
A gentle, timorous rain began to
fall. The drops fell fine and slowly,
as though the rain feared to hurt the
spring flowers that had just lifted
their heads in the green pot in front
Of fhn 70 dc nd
the village came the pungent odor of
new-furrowed earth, mellowed by disv
lance, scent of the violets that the
cobbler's rough hands had coaxed out
of their winter bed of manure and
leaves. With the rain came darkness
| The cobbler arose, lighted kerosene
| hanging lamp above his bench and sat
down to work again. But first he
raised his eyes and looked out of the
window.
| looked again, too There were lit
| tie pools of water in the bitches on
either side of the road and in the
ruts of the rough roadway, and lights
were reflected in them now; the light
from the cobbler's shop, from the
saloon across the street, from Mother
Krumlein's bakery shop and grocery,
and from the meat market.
As I stood and gazed out of the
window / began to wonder what was
the matter with the cobbler of Wind
thorst 1t was not his wont to act
in this way. I had been standing
near him in his shop for nearly half
an hour, and he had not noticed me,
he, who was always glad to see me
and ready to talk. 1t was time to be
going home for supper. I wondered
how late Karl Hermann would work
today, and I was about to speak to
him when a form darkened the open
doorway, and priest entered. II
was Father Kramer, missionary,
home from China, on account of his
health, and to gather mission funds.
The cobbler arose instantly, took
the black cap from his head and
bowed, saying in German that rever
emit greeting that every German child
| in the Fatherland is taught to say &c
i every priest he meets.

THE LORDS PRAYER.

Teaching His disciples how to pray,
our Lord Jesus Christ said: "Thus
therefore shall you pray: Our father
who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy
name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will
be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our supersubstantial
bread. And forgive us our debts, as
we also forgive our debtors. And lead
us not into temptation. But deliver us
from evil. Amen"
This prayer, writes the Rev. Edwin
Drury, is summary of all that men
need to pray for, and the arrangement
of the seven petitions it contains indi-
Gates the order in which all blessings
should be asked for. The Introductory

| He placed chair for the priest,
then set to work, and in very short
time the priest left the shop, his shoes
| In one hand, his umbrella in the
| other. The shoemaker stood and
watched the little slight figure stopped
and ungainly, trudge down the street,
toward the church A sad smile played
around his lips, and his eyes were
half-closed. He started in surprise
when spoke, blushed again, then
smiled

was dreaming about this afternoon,

so often"
He locked the door of the shop,
walked over to the flower bed and
picked a bunch of violets, modest lit
tie blue flowers, that must have
blushed when the gentle rain drops
kissed them.
For my sweetheart" he said, laugh
ing. THAT is, my mother. Father
was gardener on baron's estate in
the old country, and he used to bring
her violets every night, flowers that
he had planted and tended to. She's
getting old, my boy, and a little child
ish, and sometimes when I bring her
violets she says: Thank you, Ru-
dolph,' and thinks it's father stead
of me-"
AS we walked along the wooden
walk of the village street, the rain
falling in pleasing cadence on the old
umbrella and the lights dancing in
the bitches and in the ruts of the road,
he told me of the wish.
II suppose you know that priest
is Father Kramer. Did you notice how
he called me Karl, just as he used
to when we were school kids here
forty years ago, long, before you were
born? Yes, he's a missionary, I'm a
cobbler, and he's missionary, mis-
sionary in China, and martyr"
The last words were spoken in a
low voice, full of reverent homage and
wonder, but full also of great visit
fulness and tender yearning.
Eyes, my lad, Father Kramer is a
martyr. Did you notice how white he
is, and how thin, and how hard it is
for him to walk? That's from the
fever and from the tortures And
on his neck, did you see that purple
scar? That's Where he was tortured,
almost killed by the Boxers, and his

yet, so long after. All, he's a great
man, brave man, he's giant, and

He stopped short. l saw him turn
his head away and the umbrella
trembled in his hand, so that it swer-
we'd to one side and let the rain fall
on my shoulder.

WHY YOU CAN THROW A BASEBALL FURTHER IN DEN
 YER THAN IN NEW YORK

Hugh s. Fullerton writes a very in teresting article on the Physics Of Magazine. Following is an extract:
 Every move in a ball game affords a problem. There are basic condi- tions which, in themselves, are wor- thy of study Consider atmospheric pressure. Did you know that a man who can throw a baseball $50 feet a dead calm day. can throw the same ball almost 400 feet on the Denver ball park Did you realize that a 'ta1P foul hit straight up at Philadel- phia will not rise to within 1 5 feet of the height it would have risen under exactly the same initial power in Col orado Springs? Did you know that the San Francisco outfielders play on an average of IS feet closer to the home plate than they would dare play in" Phoenix Ariz Did you know or five inches farther in the same dis tance at Chicago than it will at AL buquerque, N. M?
 There is a professor of physics down East, and in a University which turns out good ball teams at that who disputes these things. He can fuidic motion out back of the 1abora- tory and make it jump through hoops but he is wrong in this Any play CT who ever played in the Western League will funk him on the propo- sition quicker than the prof. did who gave me my finals in physics. The w oSCSTn AedS ue IloS LOT many years been an extremely interesting organ- ization to baseball people because Tip O'NeiH is president and Bill O'Rourfxe e owns the Omaha club, but it is vast ly more interesting to the student of physics, especially if he happens also to be intetrested in baseball. In the Western he can find queer problems in statistics. Usually two cities-Den- yer, and either Pueblo or Colorado Springs, often all three-are in the league and are located in a, rarefied atmosphere. The other cities are sit uated down in the Mississippi valley region, where the atmospheric pres sure is heavy. Study the avera ges year after year and you will find the mountain clubs at near the top in batting, and almost always lea ding in long hits They play more than half their games in the rarefied atrnos- phere. Over one-third of all the long hits made in the eight cities will be found to have been made in the two mountain parks. Put twelve bat ters at Mt. Joseph, for instance. If their aggregate batting average is .250 there, one may be certain they will hit close to .27o in either Denver or Pueblo The difference is account ed for by the double fact that a pitched ball will not curve as fan in rarefied as in heavy atmosphere and

FRANK CHANCE BRANDS OWNER
 MURPHY OF CHICAGO AS LIAR
Indignant al Magnate For Saying Beer and
 Cigarettes Caused Teams Downfall

Frank LeRoy Chance, manager of the Chicago Cubs. is up in arms against Charlie Murphy, president of the club. Chance is much wrought up over the charges Murphy made against the Cubs, when he said drinking, ci- garette smoking and late hours kept the team from winning the National League pennant.
 Chance brands Murphy as a liar if he made any such accusations, and says Murphy's charges are not only unjust to the best behaved club in baseball, but deliberate falsehoods. His indignation at Murphy does not team, but he takes them as a personal insult to himself.
 The Peerless leader still is confined in New York private hospital as a result of the recent operation for a blood clot the base of his brain, due to being hit on the head fre- quently by pitched balls. Chance read of Murphy's charges. for the first time last Wednesday,, and he has boiled in wardly ever since.
 and anaesthetics. but had enough strength to dictate a reply, which may Tile Murphy. Chance had a run-in with Murphy four or five years ago, Harry Pullian, then president. of the National League, had to chase out to California to bring Frank back to Murplly's fold.
 Chance ever since then has had no more to do with Murphy than was absolutely necessary. Murphy owes much to Chance, as the great Chicago pilot won four National League pen- nants and two Worlds Championships, and never brought his team in lower than second since 1908.
 Propped up in bed and heavily ban q a ged, Chance said yesterday:
