IMPORTANT NOTICE

As our trees are on various kinds of stocks or roots, it is important when ordering to inform us as to the following: What kind of soil? Is soil wet or dry? Have you a clay subsoid? How far to rock, if less than four feet?
 Our stone fruits are on Myrobo- Ian Mazzard Mahaleb Peach, and their own roots covering soils from the wettest to the very dryest. The home fruits are on quince, their own and others. Can send you apples on a branched variety of stocks for creeping in shallow soils, or the deepest going roots for the heaviest clay soils. The latter kind will not do well where solid rock is close. One variety of stock is not adapted to all soils.

Throws no Members of Chamber of Deputies in Prison and Senate Adjourned-Says They
 Were Rebels.

Washington, Oct. 11.-State De- nartment advices from the City of Mexico late today announced that inc no members of the Mexican chamber of deputies who were thrown into prison last night by order of Provisional President Huerta. were released today.
 Cifv of Mexico, Oct. 1l.-With al most all of the members of the Chamber of Deputies in the peni- fentiary, the Senate adjourned sine die and the whole city is in turmoil. Provisional President Huetta today is once again and openly the dicta- for of Mexico. Only the troops he has patroling the city prevent an other bloody revolt.
 The arrest of the deputies came after the passage of resolution de- handing information as to the fate of pr. Belisaro Dominguez, senator from Chiapas, who had denounced Hutl Ju'
 Fear Senator Has Been Shot.
 Dominguez was believed to have shared Madero's fate. He has ut terly disappeared. Last night, after a day of debate, Huertas soldiers invaded the chamber and placed every member present, except members of the Catholic party, un- der arrest. Five others who were absent are being hunted down to- day by the Huerta police.
 No intimation of the fate Huerta plans for the imprisoned deputies has yet come from the palace. It is probable that no open revolt will begin until their disposition is known.

Mahomed eyed him with keen dis

in cunning as he was in flesh. He had
had practical demonstrations. Still,

the rug must needs be travelled. His

give him a little money. The three
Arabs climbed in beside him, and the
journey 10 the hostelry was made
without talk. Ryanne pretended to be
vastly interested in the turmoil
through which the carriage rolled, now
swiftly, now hesitant, now at a stand

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
S. HENRY, EMPEROR.

Henry, Duke of Bavaria, saw in a
vision his guardian, st. Wolfgang,
pointing to the words after six"
This moved him to prepare for death,
and for six years he continued to
watch and pray, when in the end of the
sixth year he found the warning veri-
fed in his election as emperor. Thus
trained in the fear of God, he ascend
ed the throne with but one thought
to reign for His greater glory. The
pagan Slavs were then despoiling the
empire. Henry attacked them with a
small force; but Angels and Saints
were seen leading his troops, and the
heather fed in despair Poland and
Bohemia, Moravia and Burgundy were
in turn annexed to his kingdom; Pan
nonia and Hungary were won to the
Church. With the faith secured in
Germany, Henry passed into Italy,
drove out the Antipope Gregory,
brought Benedict VIII back to Rome,
and was crowned in S. Peters by that
Pontiff in 1914 Like holy David,
Henry employed the fruits of his con-
quests in the service of the temple.
The forests and mines of the empire,
the best that his treasury could pro-
duce, were consecrated to the sanctu-
airy. Stately cathedrals, noble mon
asteries, churches innumerable, en-
lightened and sanctifed the once
heather lands. In 1922 Henry lay on
his bed of death. He gave back to
her parents his wife, s. Cunegunda,
"a virgin still, as virgin he had re-
ceived her from Christ" and surren-
dered his own pure soul to God.
It was Henry's custom on arriving
in any town to spend his first night in
watching in some church dedicated
to our Blessed Lady. AS he was thus
praying in st. Mary Majors, the first
night of his arrival in Rome, he saw

SPEAK OUT.
Newman.

There is a striking difference be-
tween the way in which our German
fellow Catholics respond to congrega-
.tional prayers, as, for instance, the
Rosary, the Stations of the Cross. the
prayers after Mass, etc., and the way
in which the average English-speak-
ing congregation does the same thing
pertinently remarks one of our Catho-
lie journals. Go into German church
and when the priest has said his half
of the prayer a great volume of sound
replies: Holy Mary, Mother of God, :"
or whatever the response may be. In
the English congregation those who
respond at all do so in such a low
voice that it does not reach to those
in the next pew. Why is that the
case? Are the English-speaking con-
gregations ashamed of their religion?
Do they fear that someone will hear
them pray? Let us speak out and
answer so that what we are saying
may be heard, not yelled, of course,
but spoken up clearly and distinctly
