After the 500 Bills.

Every time Arthur Krohn's fireman
picks up a piece of waste now Arthur
seizes it and says: LET me do that
Arthur gets the waste as soon as 1t
comes into his engine and tears 1T all
to pieces, looking for hundred-dollar
bills.
Every railroad man on the Big Four
knows Arthur Krohn Is the special en-
gineer for engine "a, which Vlce-Presl-
dent Burnett uses when he inspects
the system. Arthur's fireman picked
up piece of waste to wipe the engine
at Cincinnati recently, and in tearing
it apart he came across the ends OF
five 500 bills. There was just enough
there to tell that they had been $500
bills and not enough for Krohn or his
fireman to send in to Washington and
saw that the bulldog had. seized the
bill when the children were playing
with them and had swallowed the
| other part and would the government
please send new ones, as they were
needed at home.
The ends of the bills were stuck to-
gether and there was no way to tell
how they got into the waste.-lndian-

British Statesmen Conduct OeiioeFa-

The system of lighting the British
house of commons is under review,

considerable space of thick ground
glass panels set in a framework OF
brown beams, and each of the panels
bears a rendering of the English red

Initiative and Referendum.

The recall, together with the initia.
tive and referendum, are institutions
of Switzerland, where they have been
established for many years. The re-
call became law in this country for
the first time when Los Angeles put 1t
into it's city charter in 1908. From
what source in this country the idea
came is not exactly certain, but 1t
was a part of the agitation Of the last
decade of the nineteenth century,
which gave the country the Farmers
Alliance, the Peoples party and SINH
lar movements. There does not seem
to be any one mans name prominently
connected with the recall; it arose
out of the popular enthusiasm for "di,
rect legislation" that is, for making
the people directly responsible for i'm.
portant measures instead of leaving
them In the hands of elected represen.
tatives. It is now doctrine quito
generally accepted among "Progres.
sives" of both parties, Demccratid
and Republican.

Next week many students Of St.
Paul Seminary will be promoted
to the different Orders for which
they are eligible. Eighteen will
take upon themselves the obliga-
tions Of the subdeaconship and
twenty-five those of the priesthood.
The young priests will then go
forth to labor in the ministry in
different parts of the Northwest.
The faithful should pray for them,
that their labors may bear fruit
and that the sacred interests of
Holy Mother Church may be safe
in their keeping. They should also
beseech the Lord of the Vineyard
to inspire other young men with a
desire to enter the priesthood in
order that the ranks Of the clergy
may be added to year after year,
and that Catholics in localities
more remote from the centers of
organized church activity may be
made the recipients Of priestly
ministrations.

ST. Margaret's Daughters was

objects of this association are the
planning undertaking, financing
and executing of good works,
whether charitable, eleemosynary,
educational, benevolent or others
of like character which anywhere
are performed under the guidance
of the Roman Catholic Church in
behalf of humanity, as well as
those which the, betterment of So
cial, civic and religious conditions
may demand. There are three
grades of membership, active, pas
sive and auxiliary. In 1894 the
Society was granted the same in
dulgences as the ST. Vincent de

and these were approved and ex-
tended by Pope Plus x in 1909

Few people receive news of sud-
den riches with the equanimity
which characterized an Irish girl,
Miss O'Bryne, who, through the
death of an uncle in India, has
come into possession of one million
two hundred thousand dollars.
She is acting as governess in a
noble Spanish family and when
she was informed of the fact that
she was a millionaire she said she
would remain in her present posi-
ton as she proposed to give the
money to her two brothers, both
of whom are Jesuits, for the adj
vancement Of the Church. This is
an unusual disposition of suddenly
acquired riches and speaks vol
umes for the sterling faith and I'M
selfish character Of this simple
governess. She sets an example
which could be followed with
profit by many others who fail to
understand the obligation at
tached to their stewardship of
great riches.

The efforts made by Archbishop

about the organization of feder-

tention to some Of the more promi-

ters and st. Margaret's Daugh-
tiers, both Of which have their
headquarters at New Orleans, La.
The Queen s Daughters were or
ganized in 1889 by Miss Mary 7.
Hoxsey and other Catholic women
for the purpose of supplementing
the work done by the st. Vincent
de Paul Society by adding to the
manly Christian influence which
it already exerted that of a WON
an hand and heart. The work of
the Society is devoted mainly to
the general betterment of the home
life of the poorer classes by pro-
noting their spiritual and mate
rial welfare and the uplifting and
ennobling of the Catholic home life
of all classes. The Society has en-
joyed the patronage Of the Arch
bishops of st. Louis and has re-
ceived the endorsement of the Su-
preme Pontiff. A number of Cath
Ollie Women's societies in different
parts OF the country are affiliated
with the Queens Daughters,
