A SENSE OF HuMoR,

A kindly sense of humor is the sun
shine of life. Mastery of satire which
is one of the forms of humor, is a
more powerful weapon than the logic
of Aristotle. We are told in the Gospel
OF st. Luke that when our Lord re-
marked to the ruler of the synagogue
whose daughter was dead: Weep not;
the maid is not dead, but sleepeth,"
those who heard his words laughed
Him to scorn. They did not believe
Him. Instead they gave vent to their
unbelief in satire. Shakespeare
speaks in Macbeth Of laughing to
scorn the power of man.
But there is another and a better: 1t
Is the kind of pleasantly and leaves
no sting. Those who are masters of
it are sought out like GASES in des-
ert. They stand aloof and note the
incongruities in things. 1t is easy to
take life too seriously and hard to
sometimes to withdraw sufficiently to
see, what are for the moment serious
matters, in ludicrous light. When
the sky frowns with dark clouds we
cannot always think of the silver lin
ing and the sun that is bright beyond
The habit Of seeing the bright and
cheerful side of life is worth acquir-
ing. Life would be dull without a
laugh. 1t is for laugh that human
nature is always and everywhere as
piring. See the burlesque and vaude-
Vile house how they are thronged
with people looking for an opportu-
nifty to dispel their cares in laughter
The man that can make people laugh
can take peoples money. b.
Without humor the world would be
a dull and sullen place. When a man
is least disposed to laugh he is least
companionable. Humor, like virtue
covers multitude of defects. It is
the balm of life, the sunshine Of ex-
istence. the enemy of care, a gift which
keeps man to make earth a paradise.

Those who are interested in charit-
able work should not overlook oppor-
tunities to make provisions for the
outdoor recreation of children during
the summer months. The little ones
need Fairgrounds where they can in
dulge their buoyant spirits. They
should be given an opportunity to play
at innocent games to their hearts con-
tent. 1t Is at once the best method of
developing them physically and men
tally and keeping them out of mis-
chief. Charity directed toward their
betterment is helping the future gen.
erations to a higher level of intellec-
tual and physical manhood and wom-
anhood.

ance of that organization. The Cath
Ole Truth Society of San Francisco
published them in pamphlet form un-
der the title Ghosts" The plates,
however, were destroyed in the fire
of 1906, and, as there have been many
calls, for them since that time, they
are now reprinted in more perman-
ent form. Experience showed that
the original title did not sufficiently
indicate their scope, so they are re-
named "The Ghosts of Bigotry."
Father Yorke is sure to be heard
with reverence and sympathy as he
pleads the cause of Catholic Truth in
the volume before us. His long and
successful struggle on the Pacific
coast against that nefarious organiza-
ton known as the A. p. A. is now
matter of history. But the Catholic
public will not soon forget the debt of
gratitude which the church and every
loyal American owes to Father Yorke
on account of his fearless stand
against religious fanaticism and rabid
bigotry. Time and again those out
bursts of fanaticism have disgraced
American history, owing to the pres
ence OF number of ignorant natives
and aliens who never appreciated our
constitution which, guarantees to all
freedom Of conscience. Happily the
into]erant spirit is dying out, thanks
to the diffusion of knowledge and the
presence here of such learned church.
men as Father ,Yorke who exposed
the fraud and falsehood of blatant
|bigotry. Quoting tile language of New
man, DR.. Yorke observes: There is
a time for silence and time to speak.
The time for speaking is come. What
n desiderate in Catholics is the gift of
bringing out what their religion is; I
want a laity not sarrogant. not rash
in speech, but men who know their
religion; who know the true history
Of their religion and who therefore
will be able to refute the lies and
falsehoods which form the basis of
Protestant bigotry and intolerance"
Now this volume which we have
carefully read meets this need pre-
cisely; it throws light upon such sub
jects as The Gunpowder Plot" 1.-THE
Popish Plot "The Gordan Riots" and
other anti.Catholic movements insti.
gated and organized by malicious enc
mics of the Church of God. There is
Invaluable information in this work

READTHIS

We presume there never was a news
paper in any locality that gave all the
local happenings. It is often that some
one comes or goes that the reporter does
not see. It happens that the family is
missed several times. They get the i'm
preston that the editor does not care to
mention them. This is a mistake. In
most country towns the local work is
the hardest work connected with the
newspaper. A man may be good editor
ial writer, but flat failure in the local
work, and vice versa. Editorial matter
ial is obtained BY study, by reading
newspapers, sometimes by using scissors.
Personal and local happenings can't be
read and clipped from other papers,
not by a jugtul. It takes physical as
we'll as mental exertion to get our four
or six columns of local news in a town
of this size Most people take a local
paper to get the local happenings. Don't
be afraid to tell the editor or reporter
that you have friends visiting you. There
are lots of people who are interested in
your friends. You owe it as a duty tc
let your friends know of their doings
Perhaps you think the paper shows par
tiality, but just see if the paper doseu' 7
treat you right if you give it chance.
