TWO PLAYERS FOR MECHANICS.
Bridgeport Secures Pitcher Paddock and Second 5asetnan Bowman.

Manager Gene McCann of the Bridgeport team has recently returned from 8 scouting trip of several days, but didn't have to go far to find new material. Bowman, a second baseman from the Binghamton club of the New York state league, has been picked up. while Joe Paddock a semi-profession- al player from Ware, is added to the list. T was after Bowman for over a month" said Gene "'and I finally landed him. He is a fellow about six feet in height and 8 1eft-handed bat ter. He played second base for the New York team in the Fri State league in 1911 an dIast~ year be was with the Binghamton team. He weighs 1s0 pounds and is just the man I want.

I own this entire establishment,
and Rockefeller isn't rich enough to
buy one share of it.
Does that sound strange?
Well, bless your soul, / am a great
deal richer than old John.
I eve travelled any to speak of,
but I have read a greaNdeal, and have
thunk some.
I have also writ a few books which
I know are great, because they don't
sell worth a cent.
Great books never do.
And then I started The Fool-Killer,
Just to quiet my nerves and keep the
old press from getting rusty.
From the seclusion of these wooded
hills there will go forth each month
Q bundle of literary dynamite that
will shake the rotten foundations of
society and cause the Church Of Nam
mon to at least turn over in its sleep.
The Fool-Killer is a monthly mus
tard-plaster for the blood-boils OF
Society, Church and State.
It is sailed with wit, peppered with
humor and seasoned with sarcasm
Every line cuts like a whip, and
every word raises a blister.

now as in the olden time should no.
lie sighted when rewards for faith
are distributed. We hope, with the
Catholic Union and Times, that Dub
lin will be the place where the next
Eucharistic Congress will convene. 1t
would be a happy coincidence with
the home rule of 1914 IL the whole
world would have it's representatives
in a land where Catholicity ever had
q devoted home and where, thou.
sand times over, the life-tide of the
priest fell, as it were, into his sacri-
ficial chalice and mixed with the
blood of the sacrament divine. For
the nation to be blessed with the con-
gress of the eucharist would be fit
way for her to begin her new regime
and to continue the glory of the past
that no earthly prominence could
ever give.
Ireland has been the ciborium of
the blessed sacrament. To her warm
heart she has Rugged, in sorrow and
suffering, the benefactions of Christ,
and gave her life that she might
treasure the life of the Saviour, it's
meaning and its merits. Ireland is
holy ground; there is not part of
her that does not cover the bones of
martyr, and there Jealous hearts
would sing one. grand TIE Deum If
the sacrament of the altar got public
honors on hallowed soil.
The church owes Ireland much and
we entertain the firm conviction that
our Lord Himself will see to the
opportuneness of his congress meet
ing in land that served Him when
service meant death. We hope the
rays of glory from the monstrance
will happily entwine with the spark
ling hopes that glow and glitter
around a nation, in her pride reach
ing to the delayed right of ruling
her own concerns.

woMAN,s GREATEST TITLE.

Mother is the greatest title a
woman can achieve, political honors
Notwithstanding. That's the express
sion of David /. Walsh, Lieutenant
Governor of Massachusetts,. Wife
and mother-those are the titles and
conditions of honor and dignity.
Not all attain them. Situations arise
that change the currents of life and
the mode of living, but these remain
the ideals. The rearing OF children,
their teaching and training, are the
noblest functions and the highest
duties of humanity. The idea that
children can be reared by instinct is
absurd. The nearer a science
motherhood can reach the finer
children will be reared. The further
from the standards of primitive
race we go the more health and
yigor we are bound to have. What
is good enough for the animal will
not do at all for the man. Old
notions of rearing children are as
archaic as predicting weather by the
thinness or thickness of the goose
bone. as the case might happen to
be. / think the woman who believes
deyoutly and devotedly that her
best and highest work lies in follow
ing the commands Of her Maker will |
find no difficulty in doing her
legitimate share in the other work
OF the world. She must never lose
her sense Of proportion and try to
dethrone her supreme duties and |
place upon pedestal the things that
may lure her from the highest calls
OF womanhood and motherhood.
