EVENING CHAT
BIZ RUTH CA11ERoN

young man who had just been mar
rted went into a big newspaper ofYice
In city near his home town and asked
the editor to announce the portentous fact
OF his nuptials in the paper. His face was
SHINING with pride and happiness, and
after he had gwen the editor the item
ne wanted printed, he went out into the
anteroom, brought his wife into the edi-
torlaI sanctum and announced with in
Unite pride and delight to the editor and
two or three reporters who were standing
by, This is the wife. 1 thought perhaps
you'd like to meet her"
OF course, the newspaper men were vast
~ amused at the naive pride of the young
benedict. They joked about him and
m1m1cked him all the evening, and one of
the Would-be wits wrote a would-be funny
story about the incident, which appeared
In the paper the next morning.
In this story the enthusiastic groom was
called the Young man-proud-o Of his-wife.
1t was meant as a term of deriston. To
me it seems like beautiful title. 1 have
often wondered if the young bride saw the
story and if she were ashamed. 1 sincere
~ hope not, for 1 think she had far more
reason to be pleased and touched.
There is young man in our neighbor-
hood who is sometimes rfdiculed because
he is so proud of his wife that he is al
ways singing her praises and making OPP
portunities TO introduce her to all his ac-
self is sometimes embarrassed by his open
admiration Foolish woman! She little
knows how fortunate she is and how
many wives there are who would gladly
suffer from that embarrassment, and not
can 1t suffering by any means.
1t seems to me that this pride which
young wife or husband or lover feels
is one of the most beautiful things in the
world, instead of the most amusing.
like nothing better than to find man or
woman who feels that way.
Do you remember how Corps of Sentf-
mental Tommy fame is elated when
Gavtnta finally says he will have him
that he visits all the neighbors for miles
around, crying at each door, 81 just cried
in to tell you that Gavinia says she will
have me-" Gavinia was at first very much
ashamed when she heard of this, but
wiser Grizel thought it was 's5ust sweet"
So do I.
There are many people who consider
the pride and devotion of lovers and
young married folks something vastly
amusing. Poor peoplei How unlucky they
are not to be able to recognize beauty

THE CROSS IN HERALDRY
The Cross, Once a Symbol Of Shame,
Is Now a Badge of Honor-Four
Hundred Forms-kinds of Crosses
On Shields of Five Presidents.

In early pagan days the cross was
a symbol of shame and ignominy, and
only those deformed and misshapen
trees that could be used for nc other
purpose were formed into crosses.
But since the cross has become deal
to Christians, says the Ave Maria, the
most precious wood and metals nave
been formed into it. To the third
century may be traced this custom OF
making the sign of the cross. In the
days of Constantine, Christians paint
ed crosses on the entrances of their
houses as a symbol of their faith.
The impetus to the use of the cross
in heraldry was given by the Cru
saders, who wore a red cross upon
their right shoulder as a token Of the
obligation they had taken upon them
selves. It's form and meanings in ne
raldic design are many. In fact, over
four hundred and seven different
forms have been recorded by students
of biography and ~genealogy.
In heraldry the cross is formed by
two perpendicular and two horizontal
lines, crossing in the centre OF the
shield. This form is mentioned IN
various ways by additions and com
binations, thus expressing many mean
ings. 1t has been said that hui
man intelligence has never devised a
system so infinite in it's varieties and
so endless in it's application as is to
be found in the science of heraldry,
in which figure twenty-seven basic or
fundamental crosses.
The Greek cross has all four arms
of equal length, while the Latin cross
has the earth end longer than the
other three arms. The Calvary or
Christ Cross rests upon three steps
or degrees. The Patriarch Cross is
recognized by it's double crossbar.
The St. Andrews Cross is an x in
token of the form of cross on which
that saint suffered martyrdom by
having his hands and feet bound to
it's four arms. The St. Anthony's
Cross is shaped like a T, and has its
name from the cross that st. Anthony,
abbot, wore upon his cloak, though the
origin of this cross seems to be
Egyptian.
1t is a matter of interest that many
American families have the cross as
the basic emblem of their escutch-
cons. Among them are at least five
of the Presidents. The Garfield shield
has a blue cross in the dexter canton,
and the family motto is, In the cross
I conquer" The Tyler shield had on
it a bar, two %crescents and a cross
form. The shield of Adams was
adorned by a large cruciform device.

Story of the Catholic Author of a
Great Song-Memorial to Him at
Union College, Schenectady.

How many of us have not been
of songs, Home, Sweet Homer" Let
us learn something about it's writer,
John Howard Payne. On Mohawk
Heights, overlooking the beautiful
city of Schenectady, is located n of
the oldest colleges in the United
States. Here is a costly memorial
gate in honor of Payne, who was a
student of Union College one hundred
years ago. The gate is placed at the
entrance of Library Lane, a charming
roadway leading from the front direct
ly to the center" of the college grounds.
The gateway is ninety feet wide,
with five supports for the gates prop
err, the central one between the two
driveways being eighty feet in height.
This contains a niche in front where
in is to be placed a bust of the poet.
On the reverse side is a bronze tablet
inscribed with the song, Home, Sweet
Home"
John Howard Payne, whom his alma
mater has thus honored, was born in
the city of New York, June, 1871, but
the general public knows compare
lively little regarding the life of this
cratic individual
In his youth he was not only a lad
of remarkable personal beauty and
rare charm of manner, but possessed
a mind mature far beyond his years.
Payne's course in college was sin
gularly cratic, often quarrelling with
his teachers and FESTIVE under re-
straint and correction. Still, as a stu
dent he was Immensely popular. The
author of Home, Sweet Home never
married. He was afianced at an early
age to a young lady, but her parents
objected, as he had then turned his
attention to the stage.
When Tyler was President, Payne
received the appointment of Consul at
Tunis, where he died in April, 1852,
practically a stranger in a strange
land, but fortified by the Sacraments

scapular and, nc doubt, the majority
of Catholics still cling to the scapular.
The privilege of wearing the medal
was first granted to the Catholics of
Africa partly for sanitary reasons and
partly that their faith might not be
exposed to ridicule on account of their
wearing the scapular publicly on their
scantily-clad bodies.

ENGLAND WOULD
HALT CANAL BILL
Asks Congress Delay Panama
Rules Until Protest Is Filed.
SURPRISED IN WASHINGTON
Question of Letting Anne: lean SHIPS
Through Free, Thought to be Back
of Demand-Action Said to
be unprecedented.

Notwithstanding compll
cations over pending Panama Canal
legislation are likely as the result Oh
action by the British Government.
Great Britain has taken the extra
ordinary step OF asking that the pend
ing bill for the operation OF the Pana-
ma Canal be held up until the British
Ambassador may present to this Gov
ernment a note on the question. II Is
rare that any foreign Government un-
dertakes TO forward any matter or IN
ternational business by request that
may be regarded as interfering with
the internal affairs OF the United
States. The gravity of the situation
as viewed by Great Britain may be
imagined from the manner and meth
cd taken to bring her attitude on the
operation of the canal to the attention
of this Government
1t is not known just what the COM
munication may be that is to be pre-
sented by the British Ambassador. 1t
is not supposed that there is any In
tention or desire on the part of Great
Britain to delay action by Congress
on the canal, but yet the proposal for
diplomatic consideration of the ques-
tions involved implies that there may
be such protracted discussion of the
use of the canal as to postpone all le-
gislation on the canal to another ses-
sion.
Provisions in the bill now before the
Senate would make it impossible for
ships owned by railroads of Canada
to pass through the canal if they en-
gage in coastwise trade. The line gen.
orally supposed here to be hardest hit
by this provision is the Canadian Pa
citlc Railroad. This railroad system
is operated under a Government sub
sidy and is in the closest relations to
the Canadian Government. 1t owns
and operates ships in both the Allan
tic and Pacific oceans and is known to
have anticipated sending its vessels
through the Panama Canal extensive

TICKET NAMED BY
PROHIBITIONISTS
E. W. Chafin for President and
A. S. Watkins for Vice-President
LOOKING FOR A NEW NAME
In Each Case Nomination was Made
by AccIamation, After a Single Bal

by the National Prohibition Conyen-
ton, and Aaron S. Watkins of Ohio
for Vice President The ticket is the
same as that of 1908. In each case
the nomination was made by acclama-
tion after a single ballot indicated the
preference of the delegates.
Chain was opposed for the top
place on the ticket by F. w. Emerson
of California, Finley G. Hendrickson
of Maryland, Andrew Jackson Hous-
ton of Texas and Watkins. After the
first ballot for President, ON which
Chain got 502 votes, Watkins "a and
Emerson 80, the others withdrew
Houston, who is the son of General
Samuel Houston of Texas, got the
fewest votes. In Withdrawing he made
hit by saying he would rather
have the lowest vote in the Prohibit
ton convention than the highest in
either the Republican or Democratic
convention.
Chain was called to the stand to
speak after his nomination. He said
he regarded it as the greatest political
honor bestowed On any man this year,
and promised, if elected. not to accept
a third term.
The party, when the convention ad-
iourned, was still the Prohibition
Party. despite the strong current of
feeling that a neS name should be
substituted In a brief speech, A. J.
Orem of Massachusetts promised to
pledge more to the campaign fund
should the name be changed.

double" he said, "if we should adopt
a new name We would be greatly
