The Most Worthy One.

The late Archbishop Ryan Of Phfla-
delphia was a diplomat of the first or
der and was possessed of full share
of Celtic wit and kindly humor.
Before the Catholic Standard and the
Catholic Times were combined to form
one publication there were keen rivalry
and much controversy between their
proprietors and readers as TO which
was the more truly representative Ro.
man Catholic organ in Philadelphia.
Each sought eagerly to gain the Off,
cial Endorsement of the archbishop. On
one occasion a prominent layman tried
to trap him into statement as to
which OF the two publications he pre-
ferred.
We'll. will give you my opinion"
said the archbishop deliberately. 1T Is
certain that the Standard is far ahead
of the times. and it is equally certain
that the Times is much above the
standard; therefore l prefer to regard
as most worthy the one which is thus
proved to be superior"

Some Gossip Gathered From

When the tide receded he was strand
ed on sand bar and there he was
spied in the early morning by New
York brewer, who owns bungalow on
the Arverne beach. With the assist
ance of several "life-savers'' the beer
manufacturer lassoed the whale, haul
ed him on the beach and there killed
him with knife stabs.

fence last week, sad in more than one
respect He lost $3.50, several prom
Using customers and a few other
things, including a piece OF one finger
and a small portion Of his nose. The
last mentioned loss he could well af-
ford, but what hurt him most was the
loss of the $3.50 in cold cash. The
only thought from which he can draw
any consolation is that the loss would
have been even more deplorable had
it been twice as great.
One day last week young woman
visited the pawnshop and asked for
loan of $3.50 on a parrot which she Of
fered securely housed in a large cage.
She told the proprietor of the shop a
hard-luck story which would have NOV
ed a heart of stone and obtained the
$3.50, after she had promised to call
for the parrot within week and to
pay extra for his food. Scarcely had
the young woman left after an affec-
tionate farewell to her parrot, when
the bird went on a rampage. He began
to scream language unfit for publica-
ton and to sing ragtime songs of an
unspeakable character. When custo-
mers came into the shop Polly began
to abuse them, calling them the most
! insulting names and telling them to
beat it," When the pawnbroker tried

was promptly mailed to the owner of
the parrot, requesting her to call at
the shop. The card did not reach her
in time, however and not until day
later did she come to the shop. The
pawnbroker insisted that she should
take her bird back, but she said she
did not have the money to redeem
the bird. The pawnbroker, for the
first time in his life, did not insist up
on the return of the loan and interest
All he wanted was to get rid of the
bird and his wish was fulfilled.

CONTESTS ARE VITAL
Every Attention Paid to
Them by Leaders.
CNational News Associatior)

CHICAGO, H., June 5.-Practically
all of the members of the Republican
National Committee are in Chicago in
readiness to begin the hearing of del
egates' contests tomorrow. The func-
ton of the National Committee is al
ways important, because it decides in
advance who are to have seats when
the convention is called TO order. In
other words, it makes up the temper
airy roll. The work is especially i'm
portant this year. because of the unu-
sually large number of contests. With
upwards of $50 contests to consider
and act upon, it is likely that the COM
mittee will find it necessary to contin-
ne its hearings almost up to the day
the convention assemblies.
In hearing the contests, the National
Committee will sit as a court. Attor-
neys will represent the opposing sides
and they will argue their case and in
troduce as much testimony as time
will permit, both in the form of aft
davits and of oral witnesses. After
the testimony is all in the attorneys
will sum up in closing arguments, and
then it will be left to the committee
by majority vote, in executive session
to determine which side is right. From
the committees decision there is no
appeal, for the committee must make
up the temporary roll call of the con
vention and there can be no regularly
organized convention until the com
mittee's roll is submitted and adopted

investigated by the temporary pilot,
the steamer ran into an aquatic am
