HOW WUzZY BECAME A HERO.

ooh! what are you going to do
with those dear fuzzy little puppies? %
asked little Helen Barbour of her
brother John.
Drown 'em, l guess, Sis Any OBJ
| jections?" he answered.
Helen vanished into the house, but
soon appeared looking very much
pleased.
Johnnie" she said. what do you
think? You remember that mother
told me could have two pets. Well,
have taken these puppies as my
choice, and I shall call them Fuzzy
and Wuzzy."
Helen took the rescued puppies to
an clubhouse where she made them a
comfortable bed in soap-box. Here
she put the puppies to sleep after they
had drunk warm milk to their hearts
content.
1t seemed to Helen as if every day
Fuzzy and Wuzzy grew larger. Soon
they were playful but awkward young
collies. Two years have passed since
their rescue. They are now full grown
dogs, the pets of all the Barbour house

During the awful overflow of the
Mississippi river last spring Fuzzy and
Wuzzy distinguished themselves. Mr.
Barbour, Helen's father, was watch
ing the levee in front of his home one
night, accompanied by WuZzy. The
good gentleman was very much fati-
gued during his long vigil, and was
doing bit when Wuzzy heard a
peculiar sound The dogs instinct
guided him to part of the levee
where he saw the water pouring
through a muskrat hole, in what seem
ed to be the strongest portion of the
levee. He ran to Mr.. Barbour, caught
him by his trouser leg and tugged
| with ali his might and main in an
effort to awaken him.
Helen's father woke up and was
about to pat the dog on his head and

when Wuzzy barked loudly and ran to
the muskrat hole, where he stood and
continued to bark. Mr.. Barbour, not

ANDREW LANG AND OUR LADY.

In all broad Scotland it would be
almost impossible to locate a more
anti-Catholic spot than the Royal
Bourgh of Selkirk, says writer in the
Western Catholic. This once hunting
seat of King David, the founder of so
many Scottish abbeys and monas-
teries, is also widely known for it's
celebrated men. Sir Walter Scott, as
sheriff of the county, dispensed JUS
tice in it's old court house. Mungo
Park, the great African explorer, was
born within two miles of the town.
James Hogg, the Ettrick Shepherd,
made its st. Marys Loeb world known,
and Robert Burns, Scotland's national
poet, immortalized some of it's citi-
zens, though adversely, in verse.
The coat of arms of the Royal Burgh
is the Blessed Virgin with the Divine
Infant sitting on her knee, and this
was, till some years ago, never ques-
toned. A few years ago, however,
some of the bigots-and there is al
ways good crop of them in Selkirk-
sought to overthrow the conviction
that the arms of the burgh had any
thing to do with Our Lady, and
claimed they represented a mother
astrous battle of Flodden.
Andrew Lang, who was born in
Selkirk County, four miles from the
Royal Burgh, and Ex-Provost Craig
Brown, the Border historian, took up
the question and proved conclusively
that the arms depicted Our Lady and
Child, greatly to the chagrin of the
bigots.
Was it a coincidence or a grace
from Our Lady that shortly after, one
Of the nearest and dearest lady rela-
tives of Mr.. Craig-Brown had the
happiness of being received by Father
Forbes, s. j., into the Catholic Church
in Selkirk, and one of her first gifts
to st. Josephs Church was a hand
some grotto to the honor of the
Mother of God, whom her fellow towns
men sought to repudiate.

THE OLD RELIGIONS AND TIL
NEW.

Gilbert Chesterton, who revels in
paradoxes. and is the best slayer of
shams now before the public, evident
ly is not enamored of the new relig-
ions now stirring this old planet of
ours. Here are some of his judg-
ments upon them:
1.-THE old special and dogmatic relig-
ions-whether we believe in one of
them or in WORCESTERSHIRE certain
really interesting moral theories, GER
tain really important historical de-
cisions Islam decided entirely against
wine; Quakers decided entirely against
war; these are challenges which will
always interest and perhaps perturb
and attract Go into a Jewish syna-
gogue and you will hear cogent and
unique reasons urged against a Jew
marrying a Gentle. Go into a little
Roman Catholic Church, and you will
hear a little unimportant priest ex-
pounding some really logical distinc-
ton between men and animals, or be-
tween one kind of drunkenness and
another Buddhist metaphysics and
Swedenborgian theology are really in
teresting things. Men have studied a
complex problem, have come to GER
tain important conclusions; and they
offer those conclusions to the world.
And whether I like them as I like
Catholicism, or 1oathe them as a
loathe Buddhism, I should always
think they were worth listening to.
I like to hear a Scotch Calvinist min
lister of the old school ingeniously ex-
planning away the text that God is
love- He may be hardening his heart,
but at least he is not also softening
his head; holding certain view, he
has the courage to hold its conse-
quences. All these special doctrines
are at least the results of some kind
of thinking; and even where they are
to be denounced as deadly errors, they
win sometimes serve truth by com
parison. Real theologies are at the
noblest Inspiring, In the average inter

1t is SO sweet to know,
When we are tired, and when the

Not only understands, but day by day
Lives with us while we tread the

Across our sunshine, ever learns
again
The depth and bitterness of human
pain.

A RECORD OF PERFORM
ANCES, OF FULflLLMENT,
WHERE HE STANDS.

In a recent interview, Mr.. Byrne
clearly defined his position on state
issues la the following language.
Government belongs to and
should be representative of the
people Presidents. governors,
congresses, legislatures, constitutions
statutes and court decisions ere but
instrumentalities through which the
purposes of the people should find ex-
precision. The will OF the people de-
l~iberately and definitely expressed
shall be the final and fundamental
law of the land.
THE railroads must be recognized
as commercial highways open to all,
and rates and fares charged must be
unif rm and free from discrimina-
tion or favorit' m. Changes must be
fair and reasonable, CucA as will pay
operating expenses and a fair return
on the value of the property and no
more. lie physic~l valuation OF
railroad property obtained In this
state must be kept up TO date as a
constant basis for controlling rates.
I'VE must insist on a Simple, clear
and uniform system OF bookkeeping
and reporting, that the amount of
income and .xpediture may be read
lily seen. W b the knowledge-of
the value of the property AID the
