selves to any club with which they
can reach an agreement which viii
suit them. These players did good
work for Topeka last year And on
top of it all they are acting nicely
about the matter this year. Both
know that Gear seeks players who are
going the other way. And the club
is doing all for them that it can. To-
peka fans owe a lot to Beecher and
Buchanan. They were two of the eX-
ceedingly few ball players on the To-
cal team who worked hard and stead
fly last summer, never giving up I'M
tered. Both of them worked in nearly
every position on the diamond and
gave the club the best they had. If
all the players on the Kaw team had
done as we'll more games would have
been won by the Kaws. We know
and everyone else does that last year S
team wouldn't do. But the fellows
who gave the best they had and who
didn't depend upon their director"
to keep them on the payroll are de-
serving of commentator and good
wishes. Fans here will hope that
both the members of last years guard
land good places and play on for
many more seasons.
But for the fact that Crisp has
been disposed of to Boston it might
have been possible for the local man
agement to sell him to Denver. Nc
Gill has nothing in the way of a re-
CeiVer except Frambes. Crisp would
have made a pretty good catcher in
Western league company If his dis
position could have been changed. 1t
might have been in the Denver town.
Hendricks may get him anyway. He
plans on picking some players about
the time the Beaneaters get ready to
discard. Perhaps Crisp will perform
for the champions this year.
With Crisp, Buchanan and Beecher
gone, it only remains for the LEGAL
owners to dispose of Gardner, the red
headed gold brick handed the local
management by the Kansas City
Blues. Then the last years players
to go will be gone. Gardner was sent
q contract this year, but, of course,
did not sign it. If there had been any
fear that he sign the management
would probably have forfeited claim
to him by neglecting to send him one.
Recent dispatches said Gardner had
been allowed $25 week for the time
he stalled on the local team last sum-
mer, pretending his shoulder was in
nothing officially of the decision.
Gardner has written in for money due
him under the decision, but until an
order from Mr.. Farrell has been re-
ceived Mr.: Gardner will not get the
money. Neither will he get any other
favor at the hands of the club.

it. And it grew to this size every time

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. CATHERINE OF RIccI.

Alexandria of Ricci was the daugh-
ter of noble Florentine. At the age
of thirteen she entered the Third
Order of st. Dominic in the monastery
of Prato, taking in religion the name
of Catherine, after her patron and
namesake of Siena. Her special
attraction was to the Passion of Christ
in which she was permitted miracu-
lously to participate. In the Lent of
1541, being then twenty-one years of
age, she had a vision of the Crucifxion
so heartrendering, that was confined
to bed for three weeks, and was only.

restored, on Holy Saturday, by an
apparition of St. Mary Magdalen and
Jesus risen. During twelve years she
passed every Friday in ecstasy. She
received the sacred stigmata, the
wound in the left side, and the crown
of thorns. All these favours gave her
continual and intense suffering, and
inspired her with loving sympathy
for the yet more bitter tortures of
the Holy Souls In their behalf she
offered all her prayers and penances;
and her charity towards them became
SO famous throughout Tuscany, that
after every death the friends of the
deceased fastened to Catherine to
secure her prayers. She knew by
revelation the arrival of soul in Pur-
gatory and the hour of it's release. St.
Catherine offered many prayers, fasts
and penance for certain great man
and thus obtained his salvation It
was revealed to her that he was in
Purgatory; and such was her love of
Jesus crucified, that she offered to
suffer all the pains about to be
inflicted on that soul. Her prayer was
granted. The soul entered heaven,
and for forty days Catherine suffered
indescribable agonies, Her body was
covered with blisters emitting heat
so great that her cell seemed on fire.
Her flesh appeared as if roasted and
her tongue like redhot iron. Amidst
all she was calm and joyful, saying,
II long to suffer all imaginable pains
that souls may quickly see and praise
their redeemer." She held intercourse
with the Saints in glory, and frequent
ly conversed with st. Philip Neri at
Rome without ever leaving her con-
vent at Prato. She died, amid angels
songs, in 1889.

all the purchase of Catholic literature
Very often within ones immediate
community there is no place where
Catholic literature can be purchased;
very often, too, Catholics are at a loss
to know what books or pamphlets are
fittest to be read. The tactful indus
try of a jealous and intelligent pastor
will remove all difficulties.
The Book Rack.
1t is my earnest wish that in every
parish church there be the book
rack" or, at least, the simple table,
on which are displayed the periodical
publications of Catholic Truth Socie-
ties" notably 1.-THE International Cath
Ollie Truth Society" (407 Bergen Street,
Brooklyn) and 'The Catholic Mind"
$50 East 83rd Street, New York City,
the price of each separate publica-
ton, plainly marked, five cents, or
more or less as the case may be. To
those publications let there be added
books of a somewhat higher value, and
of more discursive tenor, the price
of each equally marked in plain figures
those books to be varied from time
to time, and always chosen with care
to suit the demands of the times, or
the special conditions of the people
of the parish. AS an inducement to
purchase and read, when new period
ical or book is placed on "the book
rack or the book-table, the pastor
would do we'll to make the announce
ment, summarizing the contents, and
explaining the reasons of the choice
he had made. Those "book-racks" or
book-tables may be in charge of some
Jealous young man, willing to contri-
butte few moments of his Sunday
leisure to the good cause, or they may
be turned over, without further over
sight, to the intelligent research and
the honest dealing of the crowd. The
first method I prefer as the more sure
to secure good results. Finally, in
each parish, due provision in one way
or another, should be made, through
which subscriptions to Catholic
newspaper may be easily obtained,
and what the provision is, the par
ishioners should now and then be told.
AS practical method of opening up
in each parish wide and fruitful
field to Catholic literature, and of
experimenting intelligently the par
ticular measures suggested to that end
by local circumstances and ratified by
the pastor, | urge the formation in
each parish of small, but well-chosen
body of auxiliaries to be called "The
Catholic Reading Society" whose duty
it will be to cooperate with the pastor
in all his plans for the furtherance of
the good work.

solid food to the amount of eight
ounces. The solid food taken in the
morning should not exceed two ounces.
When the meal or principal repast
cannot be taken without serious incon-
venience towards the middle of the

versed, the meal or principal repast
being taken in the evening, and the
collation. at an earlier hour.

The use of flesh meat is allowed at
all meals on Sundays, and at the prin-
cipal meal on Mondays, Tuesdays,

The use of lard, however, is per-
mitted at all times in the preparation
of food.
Both fish and flesh meat cannot be
taken at the same meal, even on Sun
days.

Catholic Literature.

Next to the hearing of sermons
and as a most useful, if not an alto
gether necessary supplement- put
the reading of Catholic literature. No
Catholic household should be without
it's Catholic newspaper: where means
permit, there should be Catholic peri
odical: everywhere there should be the
publications Of Catholic Truth Socie
ties" and in smaller or larger degree,
according to the intellectual ability to
understand and the financial means to
purchase, standard books on the diff
ferent aspects of Catholic doctrine and
Catholic spiritual life. The Catholic
tone of the home will at once be dis
coverable from the number and the
quality of Catholic books on its library
shelves. For the sake of the children,
good supply of Catholic books is
particularly desirable in every Catholic
home: older people, unfortunately,
may have lost with years the taste for
reading: children do read and will
read. They will read books on reli-
gion, if those are within their reach.
The cheapness of books nowadays
allows a bountiful supply of Catholic
literature to all families, under all
circumstances: we hope and pray that
distinctive and notable feature of
the Catholic household in the Diocese
of St. Paul will be it's Catholic library.
Pastors, of course, will do what de-
ponds upon them to bring about this
enviable condition, by frequently adyo-
eating in their sermons the necessity
of Catholic reading, and making in
one way or another an easy matter for
