Robert Emmett

The following article taken from
the advance pages of DR.. Emmet's
work on the lives of the Emmett
family, soon to be published, gives
very descriptive account of Rob-
ert Emmet's personal appearance
and the incidents connected with the
making of the death mask:
His features were regular; his
forehead high and finely formed; his
eyes were small, bright and full of
expression; his nose sharp, remark
ably thin and straight; the lower
part of his face was slightly pock-
pitted; and his complexion sallow.
There was nothing remarkable in his
appearance except when excited in

THE OLD HOME LATCH.


At the bend of road in Wicklow.
With the glow of the hills around,
There's bit of a whitwashed cabin
Set snug in it's plot of ground;
A lilac blooms by the doorway
And swallows build in the thatch.
And tbs many time I'm longing
To be lifting that old home latch.
Sometime l shall leave the city
Where the best of man soon dies,
And seek for the tender pity
That broods in my native skies;
And be it in Spring or Summer.
Or be it in shine or rain,
I'll he glad with mighty gladness
When I'm lifting that latch again.
For what is the city's Turing,
The calling of streets or mart,
When wind from the hills of Wick
Is blowing across your heart!
And where can you find content
ment
In world of striving men
When white-capp'd mother in Ire
land
Is praying you home again!
Sure many a time and often
When the Rockies doomed to the
sky,
I've dreamed of her saying her Ros-
When the breezes of night went
by;
And knew that the Lord who heard
Was setting my homeward track
For sake of a mother in Ireland
Who wanted her gossoon back.
And so, from the weary toiling
Of many an ill-starr'd road,
I will go where the hills of Wicklow
Are blowing their peace abroad;
= Va OVOA IAO SOdS SOOluS
A sugar chair by the fire
At home in my fathers country
The land of my hearts desire.
When the lilac tree is in blossom
And the hedges are green again
I will go to my mother in ireland
From world of toiling men;
And know that the tears will blind
me,
And the sob of my soul will catch
The breath from my lips when I'm
hearing
The click of the old-home latch.

limit of wages. The moment wages
become SO high that the investment
ceases to pay the intellectual and
material capital which have created
and developed the business will be
withdrawn and diverted to other
channels. Then work is at an end.
Capital is seldom at loss for lucra-
tive investments. If the worst comes
1t can purchase government bonds.
With the workingman the case is diff
ferent. When the mine or the fac
tory closes down he is out of employ
ment and his earning power is at a
standstill. Hence, in spite of all the
unions can do, there is a limit to
wages, and it would be disastrous to
the workingman if he allowed him
self to be deluded into the belief
chat an indefinite increase of wages
is possible.
The most, therefore, that under
ordinary circumstances the working
man can reasonably expect is liv-
ing wage. that is enough to secure
decent subsistence for himself and
family. And, after all, the welfare
of working people is not merely a
matter of wages. There are districts
where the wages are high and the
prosperity of the people very low;
whereas, there are other districts
where the wages are far from being
high, and yet the people are evident
ly prosperous. Why this difference?
Economy and temperance or the
lack of them.
Greed of possession and thirst for
pleasure" says Leo XIII, "are twin
plaques, which too often make
man who is void of self-restraint
miserable in the midst of abund-
ance." How true these words are of
many people in our large wage
earning districts even the cursory
observer will not fail to recognize.
What is the reason many laborers al
lege for demanding higher wages?
The high cost of living. While there
is truth in the answer, the fact re-
mains that high living is chiefly re-
sponsible for the high cost. People
are not satisfied with common fare
and ordinary clothing. They must
have the highest priced food in the
market and the latest and most ex-
pensive styles of dress. No wonder
their children must be taken from
school at an early age and sent to
work. Shortsighted and cruel policy
which makes it impossible for the
children to rise above the condition
of their parents! How different
things would be if parents would on
ly practice Christian economy! High
er education would be the rule. The
sons of the toiler would soon control
the business and industrial interests
of the country. grace the legal and
medical professions, and in larger
numbers be adorned with the Holy
Priesthood; and his daughters, in
stead of crowding the stores and fac
tories and Offices to the detriment,
oftentimes, of their modesty and
womanly virtue, would become the
queens of truly Christian homes, or,
aspiring to the higher things, would
cOnsecrate their lives to God and hui
mainly in holy religion.
If all the toiler's earnings were
spent for food and clothing one might
declare high wages useless; but
when any considerable part of them
is consumed for drink, the highest

sPITBALL is IN DIsREpUTE
Wise Pitchers in Big Leagues Have
Cast Moist Sphere Aside
Shortens Careers

The spitball is falling ir,o disuse,
says the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Very few of the twirlers in the big
leagues are using it today, and those
who do are using it sparingly. Tho
wise pitchers have cast it aside. know
ing that even though the use Of the
moist fling may add to their string
OF victories, it will mean the shorten
ing of their careers.
Jack Chesbro used il back in 1904
when he almost pitched the Yankees
into the leadership of the league. But
the use of the spitball practically
ruined Chesbro as a star performer.
Ed Walsh used the spitball for several
years, and his success was phenomen.
al. But the price was high, for Walsh's
arm today is in such condition that he
never knows whether it will serve him
the full route or whether a kink will
appear and force him to surrender the
hurting job to a relief pitcher.
JEFF Tesreau used the spitball to a
great extent when he first landed On
major league soil. But he isn't doing
it with such reckless abandon as OF
yore. Jeff soon learned that the spit
ball "kinked' the arm, if used freely,
and now he throws it only in emergen
cies.
There are several other pitchers in
the big leagues who still throw the
spitball, but they are throwing it just
about half dozen times during the
game. Some Of the fans believe they
throw it oftener because Of the decep-
ton practiced by the pitcher--of put
ting the ball up near the mouth and
seeming to lubricate 1t. Batters aren't
fond of spitballs. They hate to see

Someone has revived the question
as to whether big men or little men
play the better baseball. The ques-
ton is good deal like the one dis
cussed among players-whether nine
Walter Johnsons could beat nine Ty
Cobbs. But 1t Is interesting. Here
are teams a fan suggests:
Little team-ONeill and Schalk,
catchers; Cicotte and Fisk, pitchers;
McInnes, first base; Evers, second
base; Maranville, shortstop; Maisel,
third base; Leach, Milan and Ehler,
outfield.
Tall team-.McLean. catcher; Main,
Davenport and Falkenberg, pitchers;
knight, first base: Cutshaw or Black
burn, second base; Mcbride, short
stop; Moriarity, third base; Holman,
Collins and Snodgrass, outfield.
Big team-Meyers and Henry catch
FRS; James, Reulbach, Hagerman and
Vaughn, pitchers J. Miller, first base;
Lajoie, second base; Wagner, short
stop: Zimmerman, third base; Old
ring. Vincent Campbell and Hyatt,
sutfield.
One can pick o little team that
probably would win, tall team the
sans way, and the big team just as
easily. Undoubtedly the style Of ball
players now runs to the strong, big

ing one.
The passing of the spitball comea
as good news to the infielders. In the
years when the spitball was generally
used errors were frequent on account
of the spitball. A pitcher would gloss
the ball freely with saliva and slippery
elm or tobacco juice, batter would
hammer it tC the infield, the infielder
would grab it and start to throw, only
to 'find that the slippery ball had
glided from his fingers. Quite often
when the infielder was able to get the
ball away in the direction of the base
the bal would take a wild slant and
result in horrible error
