Gussie Cox.

AS the Sabbath day was drawing to
close we laid him away, his dear lit
tie form robed in purest white. Spot
less fiowers-emblem of his untainted
soul-and the Saviors cross-symbol
of his faith-were clasped in the little
fingers now folded and still in the
sweet repose of death. AS the portal
of the tomb closed upon the white cas-
ket that held its fair burden of mani
mate clay, so it closed upon our hearts
and we turned sadly away from the
sepulchre in the city of the dead and
left him with our tears and prayers to
the sweet fragrance Of the flowers
strewn by loving hands about his rest
ing place and to the songs of the birds
that carol their softest notes in the
quiet friendliness of the tombs.
1t was a sad parting for those who
loved him and cherished him so dear
Ily; and it was a sad Homecoming to
face the numberless things that were
his, to feel the aching void in the little
circle, and to know that his bright
smile would not greet us again and
that We should no more feel the press
of his warm lips or the loving clasp of
his gentle arms.
Don't let mamma know I'm hurt; it
will worry her." he pleaded when he
realized that he was injured and
bleeding. None know better than We
the spirit that moved him to this ap
peal. Though wounded unto death, he
walked home unaided to his loved
ones, bearing his little body and SOU
bravely through the ordeal and nobly
belittling his pain-because he loved
us and would suffer much in silence
rather than bring anguish to a moth
er's heart. Nor did he once complain
through those long hours of the night;
and when he lapsed into unconscious
ness a sweet smile played on his lips
and told that he felt he had conquered
in the battle that had waged in his
little soul-and that all was we'll. And
with that same sweet smile he en-
tered Heaven.
AS We print the parting kiss of un.
dying love upon the fair, cold brow and
return him to the keeping Of the Great
Giver who has permitted us to cherish
our possession for so brief a space of
earthly years, perhaps we marvel at

ST. PATRICK'S DAY AT CHURCH
OF THE HOLY NAME OF MARY.

Sons and daughters of Ireland and
their descendants assembled in large
numbers in the Church of the Holy
Name of Mary, last Sunday morn
ing, and celebrated in a religious
manner the feast day of st. Patrick,
instead of Monday, because it was re-
garded as the best arrangement for
all concerned.
1t was 11:40 before the mass COM
menced, the delay being due to de-
sire to wait for Archbishop Blenk, who
was coming into the city on a train
overdue. When he did get in the dis
tinguished prelate was too fatigued
and he reluctantly notified Father Lar
kin that it would be impossible to at
tend.
Bishop John Z. Gum, who came on
the same train, and who was sched-
uled to preach, came directly over to
Algiers, and despite the inconvenience
he suffered, he kept his appointment
and preached a panegyric on St Pat
rick that was a gem in every sense
of the word. Bishop Gum took for his
subject Reflections Suggested by St.
Patrick's Day"
Bishop Laval was present in the
sanctuary. There were the following
priests as well: Fathers Larkin, Cas-
sagne, Delaire, Walshe, o. Donovan
and Heffernan. The mass was cele-
brated by Father Frainaud, a French
Marist father, who is here Temporal
rily. The music was very elaborate.
The choir was augmented by a large
number of singers. In addition to the
sacred music Irish airs were rendered.

conficto en- sus 1ltimos dlas de gobier-
no. La situacion que en- Mejico ha
venido siendo diflcil desde hace alg1n
tempo, ha empeorado gravemente de

peto a la ajena soberania y con la pro-
teccion que ell ciudadano espera en- to-
do tempo de la oportuna intervention

En- otras circunstancias, la conducta
del gobierno de Washington hubiera
podido ser muy otra de la que al pre-
sente Sc impone, pero las corrientes de
imperialismo sc han desviado del curse
tortuoso que 1ltimamente tomaron, y
no es tan facil como primera vista
parece darles de nJlevo Ia afuencia que
perdieron. Mr.. Taft 10 comprende asf,
y como la p1blica opinion va no toma
en- cuenta las del presidente pr6ximo

La Casa Blanca no ha de aventurarse
en- campa1as de marcado sabor impe.
