William Ellsworth once had $40,-

A jury in Judge Fakes court yes

of 70 years stood before Judge Fake
for sentence.
The court said: You are an old
man Ellsworth, and everybody knows
you are one of the best harness.
makers in Chicago. l am going to
try and find some place where you
will be kept away from harness
shops and stealing. You have been
up in this court so many times the
last few years, with juries always
finding you guilty of small stealings
from harness shops, that 1 don't
know what to do with you. We had
you at Oak Forest, but you wouldn't
stay. I'm going to see if we can get
a place for you where you can make
harnesses all day long the whole year
around"
Before automobiles began replac-

shop at Western avenue and Lake
street. He did jobs for a wealthy

ST. JOHN OF THE CROSS.


The father of st. John was dis
carded by his kindred for marrying
a poor orphan, and the Saint, thus
born and nurtured in poverty chose

that he might serve at Mass before
going to school, and people were
moved to devotion by seeing his rec

able to learn a trade, he became the
servant of the poor in the hospital
of Medina, while still pursuing his
sacred studies. In 1868 being TWEEN
ty-one, he humbly offered himself as
a lay-brother to the Carmelite friars,
who, however, knowing his talents,
had him ordained priest. He would

Thus he became the first prior of the

trials and consultations of a perfectly
detached soul. His reform, though
approved by the general, was rejected
by the elder friars, who condemned
the Saint as fugitive and apostate,

WATCHING.

At this time we approach the end
of the ecclesiastical year. The
Church puts before us for our medita-
ton the prophecies in which Our
Divine Lord foretells the ruin of Jeru-
salem and of it's temple, and the end
of Israel as nation and also the end
of the world. Our Lord gives us as a
practical counsel the warning:
Watch We therefore, because you
know not what hour your Lord will
come" Matt. XIV, Is. This warn
ing is repeated so frequently in Holy
Writ that it is worth while to dwell
upon it.
Our Lord comes to us at the hour
Of death; He also comes in Holy
Communion. And every day He
draws nigh to speak to us, to whis-
per in our ears words of warning, of
consolation, of comfort, of strengthen.

The Advent Liturgy.

Advent, then, is time for devout
and penitential preparation of the soul
for the proper and worthy celebration
of the great feast of Christmas, and
also for the judgment which we must
ali undergo, both at death and at the
second coming of our Blessed Saviour.
The whole of the Church's practice
and liturgy during Advent is filled
with this spirit--with the praises of
the Redeemer of the world, and with
exhortations to the faith to receive
Him worthily into their souls.
In the Office recited by the clergy,
the TIE Deum, the hymn of joy and
Thanksgiving, is united. In the Mass,

ocratic success two years hence
that Senator Stone and every Mis-
souri, democratic CONGRESSMAN
should be returned to his post in
Washington for the next two years.
1t should be remembered that it
costs no more to have these men of
experience, acquaintance and eS-
tablished confidence in these Offices
than it does to have a new and un-
tried one. The Missouri delegation
has worked unitedly and effectively
so far during this administration
and can be depended upon to do so
in the future. But for their united
work in congress during the last
few years we would not have. a
democratic administration now.
Why take the chance of intro.
ducinG a discordant element when
we know what we have No dele
cation of congressman in the entire
union have done more to bring
democratic triumph than have the
Missouri members. Why not let
them continue two more years and
see if they cannot keep the party in
power and elect a democratic pres
ident? Why at this critical time dis
turb this harmonious body because
perchance somebody failed to be
appointed to postoffice or secure
some appointment to which they
aspired. So far as possible a dem
ocrat has been appointed and there
fore no other democrat has right
to complain, at least, not to the eX-
tent of jeopardizing the election of
a democratic president in 1916. No
one who is at all acquainted with
the making of legislation at Wash
iDeton will deny that for the first
term or two at Washington men,
bers cannot accomplish what a man
can who has been there long enough
to establish confidence in his ability
good judgment and reliability. 1t
is far different when a man is in
his own county and has an eStab-
lished reputation and will continue
as an official in his home communi-
ty. Every senator and congressman
is received at Washington as a
stranger and they are compelled to
establish themselves before they
can accomplish much for their dis
tricts. What democrats should do
now is to bend every energy toward
unifying the party and presenting g
united front in 1916. If we sre
again to elect a democratic presi,
dent the wisdom of all the party
j must be called into action. Wher
we find we can succeed ourselves
will be time enough to put new mel
on guard, Success in 1915 should
be the uppermost thought with all
democrats at this time. Moberl.

under control.

aged. MIR. Rogers recently refused
$4,000 for the property and while
the insurance covers the damage
if it had burned, would have been
quite a loss.
The adjoining building is owned
by Ralph Graham. 1t was damaged
by water and smoke. H. Levy
moved his stock of goods out. His
loss is from smoke and the damage
in moving. He had. his stock re
placed and ready for business Mon
day.
The offices in the second story
were badly smoked. But for water
works these buildings would doubt
doubtless have been destroyed.
While fighting fire Saturday night
Hunter Anderson had the misfor-
tune to badly cut his arm near the
elbow. In the excitement he did
not know that he was injured until
the blood flowing on his hand at
tracted his attention. While not a
serious cut, it is, to say the least
inconvenient. for every bend of the
elbow opens the wound. 1t is hoped
that it will soon be all right again.

Looking to 1916.

The Democrat has supported
zealously Senator VIM. j. Stone
during all his political career. The
same is true of Judge w. w. Rucker
during his congressional life. Both
are now far more able and of great
er value to the democratic party
than ever before. Their power to
accomplish beneficial results for
the party was never what it is to-
day. Both have made records that
are unimpeachable and unquestion-
I'd eren by those who would oppose
them We therefore do not feel
called upon to make any excuse for
our support of these democrats and
believe the facts warrant us. in the
interest of our party, in continuing
our allegiance to these faithful and
successful party men and in doing
whatever we can to promote their
nominations and election In doing
this we find no occasion to find
fault with other aspiring candidates
or those who think it to the inter-
est of the democratic party to sup
port them. This is no time for un-
necessary acrimonious discussion
among democrats. If there ever
was a lot of democrats who could
afford to be sweet tempered and
kindly it is the supporters of these
two active democrats. We have
taken the trouble to get the opinion
of reliable and conservative demo-
Gratis throughout the state and this
congressional district and the con-
sensus of our investigation is that
both will be nominated four or five
to one. 1t is conceded by demo-
Gratis in a position to know that
their majorities in the primary will
be larger than they ever before Sc
cured. We are so thoroughly con-
WINGED of this fact that we are con-
fident we can urge the question OF
