The idea Of National Highways,

of all. by that form Of aid which
proposes that the government ap-
preparations should be spent not

In an open letter to Governor
Major OF Missouri, Judge Lowe
says:
"lf fifty million dollars wore

average about one million to each
state if distributed equally.
'If Missouri should get one

that would work.
"In . great many counties
there are several lines Of railroad.
Who will decide which line to

"Take Missouri, for example
She has an average Of, say, ten
depots in each county. If each
county can build only four tifths

AN EXPERT EMIT.

Could l be mother for a day,
And if she could be me,
I'm sure she'd learn lot O. things
Bout which we don't agree.
I'd say: Nov, dearie, wont you have
Another piece of cake?
You've eaten three so far;
Do, dear, another take"
Then I'd say: ooh, don't go to bed;
It's very early yet.
Do sit up for an hour or two,
Or longer, won't you, pet?"
My school dress is a dull dark brown
My best ones bright and gay;
So I'd say: Daughter, you may veal
Your best frock every day.
Then I'd say, Here's some pennies
dear;
Go to the candy store
And spend them all for lolipops,
Next time you shall have more"
Oh, yes, I'd show my mother dear
Just how she ought to be
If could be her for one day
And she be little me.
But somehow, way down in my
heart
/ have a feeling queer
That l had better just stay me
And she stay mother dear.

ularly of Rome, were more often In
the hands of laymen than was the
case in France, Germany and England
This was, presume, due to the fact
that the ancient artistic guilds OF
Rome, so bountifully protected by i'm.
perial edict and rescript, survived the
endless wars and invasions in the
rest of Europe.
For many centuries after the fall
of the Roman Empire, the principal
artists of Rome were accorded sena-
torial rank. Through the long period
known as the Dark Ages, art in its
most splendid forms fourished in
Constantinople and the East. 1t is
interesting to note that in Constan-
tinople the master artists were &C
corded the rank of ambassadors at
the imperial court. From the East
the art schools of Italy and the rest
of Europe They and their pupils &C
complished tremendous tasks, such
as the mosaics of Montreale and Cef-
alu, of St. Marks and Torcello, and
the sculpture of many Gothic Cathe-
dral The earliest stained glass of
Chartres and Potter, and painted
ceiling in Hildesheim, with many
other remarkable works are attrib-
uted directly or indirectly to these art
instructors from Constantinople and
Mount Athos. Wherever they went
they trained up skilful pupils, and
always by this same method of practi'
cal instruction, the instruction of the
workshop and studio.
But it seems that the most force
full and vigorous propaganda in art
came from Rome. Artists from afar
came to study in the famous ateliers
of the Eternal City. Giovanni Pisana
Arnolfo di Gambia, Cimabue and Giot.
to came as students to the Roman
schools. The Roman artists them
selves travelled to distant lands es-
tablishing ateliers and forming pu-
pills in remote corners of Europe and
the British Isles. We find by ancient
documents that Pietro and Oderisio
travelled all the way to London to
decorate the shrine of Edward the
Confessor in Westminster Abbey.

that, in spite of this, or rather for that
very reason, / would rather hundred

Is it to be wondered at that her
son soon learned, like her, to prize
goodness and sanctity beyond all else,
and that he finally developed into a
saint?

A cHILD-soLDIER's ANSWER.

Curiously direct and simple are the
thoughts of a little child. A pretty
story, illustrating this truth, is told
by the Rev. Vincent McNabb.
A priest who is now dead told me
that he was one day giving catechism
to the little soldier boys in the Duke
of York's school, Chelsea. They had
come to the Our Father. Turning to
the boys, he said: "Is God the Father
everywhere"
YES rang out the little soldiers
voices. But if God the Father is
everywhere, why don't you say 'Oul
Father Who art everywhere and not
Our Father Who art in Heaven?
asked the priest.
There was silence. Nearly all the
little soldier boys looked now at each
other and now at the priest, but nc
one spoke. At last, one boy timidly
held up his hand, saying: please
Father, I think l know"
well then, Bobby" said the priest
tell me. If God is everywhere and
not in Heaven only, why do you say
Our Father, Who art in Heaven
Coos it's 'eadquarters, Father"

THE INFLUENCE OF ROME ON
ART.

William Laurel Harris contributes
to the Boston Transcript of October
Is an interesting article dealing with
the problems of modern art educa-
ton and pointing out the lessons to
be learned from the centuries that
are passed. The historic portions
of the article that refer to the influ-
ence of Rome on the rest of Europe
will especially interest Catholic read
ers:
These Roman artists travelled far;
to England, Germany, Belgium, and
to the kingdoms and principalities
along the Danube, building public
buildings and founding schools
wherever they went. An important
school of art existed towards the end
of the eighth century at the Ben
edictine Monastery of Aniane and
there was an even more important
art center at Fulda in Germany;
there were also other art schools at

THANKSGIVING.

For summers bloom and autumn S
blight;
For bending wheat and blasted
maize;
For health and sickness, Lord OF
Light,
And Lord of Darkness, hear our
praise!
We trace to Thee our joys and woes
To Thee, of causes still the Cause
We thank Thee that Thy hand be
stows;
We bless Thee, that Thy love
withdraws.
We bring no sorrows to Thy throne;
We come to Thee with no com
plant.
In Providence Thy will be done.
And that is sacred to the saint.
Here on this blest Thanksgiving
Night,
We raise to Thee our grateful
voice;
For what Thou doest, Lord, is right;
And thus believing, we rejoice.

In Christ the Saviour's Name.
The good saint gave him welcome
word,
And opened wide his door,
"Who comes" he said, I'm Jesus
Name
May share my slender store"
The guest unmasked shapeless face,
Most hideous to see,
And at the saints low table sat,
His honored guest to be.
And Julian gave him bread and meat,
And spoke him kind and fair,
While odor of the dread disease
Hung heavy in the air.
And long the leper tarried there;
His words of thanks were few,
While of the viands he partook,
AS though his hunger grew.
Yet still the saint, in holiness
And patience all divine,
Waited upon his awful guest
And shared his bread and wine!
At last the leper turned to go.
But wheeling quickly, said
Embrace and kiss me in His Name
BY whom you gave me bread"
In sweetness and humility
Was giv'n the last embrace,
But at the kiss a change divine
Came DER the leper's face!
All glorious and radiant
Became the features wan,
And like the stars for loneliness
The brooding eyes now shone!
A heavenly perfume filled the cell,
And strains of sweet Accord
Then Julian knew the Leper Guest
Was Christ, his dearest Lord!

SIR HUMPHREY DAVY AND HIS
ROSARY.

With mining very much in the pub
lie eye, now that Deaths grim spectre
has stalked among the South Wales
coalf1elds, leaving desolation in his
track, and the black coal to mock the
memory of his victims, it is interest
ing to recall that Sir Humphry Davy,
the inventor of the "Davy lamp" val
ued highly the possession of rosary,
although he was not a Catholic. He
gives the reason in his book, Con
solutions in Travel; or, The Last Days
of Philosopher:
The Rosary which you see sus-
pended around my neck is a memorial
of sympathy and respect for an illus
trous man. l had just re-
turned from the Holy Land, and had
in my possession two or three of the
rosaries which are sold to pilgrims at
Jerusalem. Plus VII. was
then a prisoner at Fontainebleau. BY
a special favour, on the plea of my
return from the Holy Land, obtained
permission to see this venerable and
illustrious Pontiff. | carried with me
one of my rosaries. l offered
him my rosary from the Holy Sepul-
chre. He received it with smile,
touched it with his lips, gave his Bene-
diction over it, and returned it into
my hands, supposing, of course, that
l was a Roman Catholic. had meant
to present it to his Holiness, but the
blessing he had bestowed upon it
and the touch of his lips made it a
precious relic to me, and l restored
it to my neck round which it has ever
since been suspended.

The Register of New York, COM
menting on the death of Patrick Ford
mentions the truly Irish piety which
characterized him, and says: "This
was best shown, perhaps, in a little
article on boyhood recollections pub
lished in his paper on the f1ftieth an
niversary of his First Holy Commun-
ion. The great editor still recalled
every detail of that event and looked
back at it as the very happiest day
of his life Up to his death his most
cherished possession was the certifi-
cate given him as memento of his
first approach to the Sacrament of
the Altar"

adherence to diplomatic and social

that there has been not only a weak
