IN Brooklyn, New York, there is published
a weekly paper named The Tablet.
It claims to be "the Catholic weekly of the
Brooklyn diocese, represents 100000 Catho-
lies in Kings, Queens, Nassau and Suffolk
Counties"
The first column of THE To6zet-front page
carries the legend
"THE OATHOLIO PULSE.
II BY Yalerian."
The sixth paragraph Of this column reads
thus:
SIT must have been hard on General Miles
when he stood on the stand for the unwilling

The Knights Of Columbus pass by in parade,

permitted to parade.
And the Fourth degree Knights of Column
bus carried their swords.
And General Miles seeing these swords
must have felt badly for these "saoords Of the

that THE ORDER IS BUT WAITING

To this pass have we been brought by our
own criminal negligence, by the timidity of
our Protestant clergy, by the venality of our
press, by the cowardice of our politicians, and
by the treason of such Presidents as Cleve-
land, Mckinley, Roosevelt and Taft.

He never did get his men well in hand he
was bold, but not sufficiently bold.
Why did he not take his delegates includ-
lng those from California and Texas-and
seize possession of the hall?
The Taft men could not have elected
Ihe Roosevelt men-it would have been
physical impossibility.
Once IN possession of the hall, the Roose-
welt men could have elected their own Chair

the Lumber Trust for high duty on lumber,
although the platform on which he was
elected pledged him TO vote for the immediate
repeal of the duties on lumber.
This same man, W. G. 3. voted to exempt
from governmental supervision the Pullman
Palace-Car Company, the Southern Express
Company, the Telegraph Companies, and the
Telephone Companies.
This man is so dead in his own district that
he did not dare to run for Congress again.
Yet the Atlanta politicians, by packing our
Convention with street buns, loafers and
Ward-heelers put Brantley on the Georgia
delegation to Baltimore thus honoring de-
Serter and a Repu61icar at heort.
In March, 1909, Champ Clark offered
resolution in Congress to give the House the
control of itself, and to elect Committee Of
ID Democrats to manage things. This would
have smashed the Cannon machine
Oscar Underwood was one Of the Is pro-
posed by Leader Clark.
All the Democrats voted for the resolution,
with % exceptions.
Among these 23 were Bill Howard. Lon
Livingston, Gordon Lee, Charles Edwards
and ", G. Brantley.
These deserted the Democratic leader, and
went over to the Republicans.
In 1912, this deserter was forced upon us, in
Atlanta, by a little coterie of peanut poll
ticians, assisted by the leather lungs Of street
hoodluns.

He did this to spite Roosevelt, but he in

more will come out strong for the Sub
treasury or something better"
These are queer times, and the hash is sadly
mixed.
A part of the Georgia delegation to Balti-
more had to go around by Cincinnati.
The direct route from Atlanta through
South Carolina was infested by officers of
the law, provided with criminal warrants for
said portion OF the Georgia delegation.
It does old Georgia proud to see part of
her delegation to the National Convention
dodge South Carolina, and skulk away from
those officers Of the law.

Another one of the eight delegates at large
from Georgia was one of the % deserters who,
on March Is, 1909 abandoned his leader,
Champ Clark and went over to the Republi-
can leader, Jos. G. Cannon.
By this desertion, Cannon was enabled to
jam the Payne-Aldrich bill through the
House. It was this damnable law which put
up the cost of living and caused so many Re
publicans to lose their seats in Congress.

nPanav and Mamma

The use of papa" in this country IL
illustrates the flow and ebb of fashion
In words, as in costumes, pretty
clearly.
All authorities agree that papa" and
mamma" arrived here from France in
the seventh century. says the London
Chronicle. AT first they were court
ly expressions, and were used by per
sons of fashion," adults as well as
children, in the eighteenth century.
But with the nineteenth the middle
classes took them up, originally re-
garding them as genteel; in our own
time one of the faults of the hero of
"E dunno Were e. are" after coming
into "a little bit o. splosh,' was that
he 'ad the cheek and impotence to
call is mother is ma" The usual re-
suit followed. Everybody's words
adopted as genteel became vulgar, and
now papa" and mamma" are dying
out, even among children.

WORLDS MOST NOTED ECHOES
Some Reproduce Sound In Melodious
Manner, Others With an Effect
That Is Terrifying.

Probably the finest echo which the
world knows is in the cathedral at
Pisa, where the Leaning Tower is.
Sing two notes and there is no re-
verberation; sing three and they are
at once taken up by the walls OF the
edifice, swelled prolonged and varied.
till they seem as divine harmony
from some majestic organ.
There is a cavern in Finland In
which, If you test your lungs to the
top of their capacity, there will an
swer you such horrible roarings,
meanings and mutterings that you
will be glad to rush out In absolute
terror.
The cutting down of trees in GER
tain locality on the Hudson river
spoilt splendid echo, A word shout
ed there was repeated AZ times.
Undoubtedly the most extraordinary
natural echo in the world Is to be
heard by the side of a small lake In
Bavaria. On one hand rises perpen-
dtcular cliff several thousand feet
high, while on the other side Is a
! dense forest II pistol is fred on
! the lake the woods send back faint
echo that gradually dies away, but
presently 1t is heard from the cliff
continually increasing In power, till /
bursts over ones head like deafen
ing peal of thunder.

NOT Her FIRST APPEARANCE
Well Meaning Church Woman Unfor-

as Pastor Had Counseled.

1t is embarrassing sometimes, this
thing of sudden religious zeal; that is,
If you haven't made 1t regular bust
ness. Witness the mistake made some
time ago by a good woman who was a
regular attendant at a church down
on Chestnut street, says the Louisville
Times.
One Sunday morning her pastor
preached an inspiring sermon on the
subject Of welcoming the Stranger
Within Thy Gates He urged upon
his membership the duty of giving a
cordial greeting to strangers who hap
pened in at that church.
This good woman was much i'm
pressed with Ills remarks. AS she
turned around to leave the church, she
discovered an unfamiliar face in the
pew Immediately behind her. With
radiant smile she extended her hand.
I'm glad to see you out this morn
ing she said
Thank you," replied the stranger
with merry twinkle in her eyes.
do you come often?" sweetly asked
the good woman.
The stranger smiled. 81 have been
occupying this pew for the past seven
years" she said.
There was an embarrassed silence,
and then the good woman turned and
started out. 1t was noticeable that
she made no further attempt to greet
any stranger that morning.
