APPROVAL OF THE MOST REVER.
END ARCHBISHOP.

With much pleasure l give my ap-
proval to the invitation sent to Catho-
lies of German birth or descent that
through their generous offerings they
put the Chapel of st. Boniface, in the
new Cathedral, in fitting form to do
honor to the Cathedral itself, to the
name of the great apostle of German
Lands, to the heirs of the apostleship
of ST. Boniface, to-day children of the
Archdiocese of st. Paul.
To the worthy priests taking charge
of the task of making the Chapel of
st. Boniface a beautiful symbol of his
apostolic labors for Religion and Fa-
therland-to the Catholics of the
Archdiocese ready to aid them in
their task, l gladly impart my bless
ing. That their reward from Heaven
be the richest, is the earnest prayer
of my heart.
The scheme once planned of sur
rounding the Master of the Sanctuary
in the new Cathedral with chapels re-
calling the early Christian Teachers
of the nations, to whose sons and
daughters the Archdiocese of st. Paul
owes life and prosperity, place, as
suredly, was due to ST. Boniface, the
Apostle and representative of the
faith of the German Fatherland Mu-
nificent have been the gifts of Ger
man faith and piety to the Archdio-
cese, and of those gifts there neces-
sarily should be a perpetual testimo-
nial in the Cathedral, the Mother
Church of the whole Archdiocese.
But little time, am convinced, will
be taken to gather together the sum
of money needed to complete and
beautify the Chapel of st. Boniface-
the German Chapel-in the Cathedral
of ST. Paul

The annual reception of postulants
into the Congregation of the Sisters
of st. Joseph took place at st. Jo-
seph's Novitiate, ST. Paul, on March
19, the Feast of st. Joseph, patron of
the Order. The ceremony began at half
past nine o'clock. Prior to that hour
the twenty-six postulants who had COM
pleted their term of probation entered
the chapel in procession, dressed in
bridal robes of silk or satin and car
rying bouquets. AS soon as they were
seated, the Most Reverend Archbishop,
accompanied by the visiting clergy, en-
tered and took the places reserved for
them. Mass was then celebrated by
the Rev. Patrick Kenny, pastor of the
Church of st. Anthony of Padua, Min
neapolis.
At the end of Mass the Most Rever-
end Archbishop preached a sermon on
the religious life, and at it's conclusion
the postulants proceeded to the sane
tuary rail where they knelt and ex-
pressed their desire to consecrate
themselves entirely to the service of
God and the cause of religion. They
answered the questions prescribed by
the ceremonial of reception, and hav-
ing satisfied the Most Reverend Arch
bishop of their sincerity in seeking
admission to the Congregation, they
withdrew for time to lay aside their
worldly robes and don the habit of
the Sisterhood of st. Joseph.
On their return to the chapel they
knelt for few moments before the
altar to give expression to the senti-
ments of joy and gratitude which
thrilled their souls and then the Most
Reverend Archbishop invoked on them
the blessing of heaven.
This class of postulants, twenty-six
in number, was the largest, with one

Geers has been driving and handling
horses for more than thirty-five years.
In that time he has seen many drivers
come and go. He has seen them be-
come famous in day, flash along brill
liantly for time and fall into obscuri-
ty. He has seen steady performers in
their prime and decline. He has seen
drivers at their best and at their
worst. He has been able to observe
his own work carefully and note the
changes with the passing years. There
fore, he is probably the best judge of
at what time a man is at his best in
the business.
He estimates that he has been in
about 5000 races since he started to
handle the reins. During the last few
years he has figured in about seventy
five races a season. Geers is now an
institution. He was born in Lebanon,
Tenn, January %, 1851. He drove his
first race at a fair in Mobile in 1878.

out of the South with his fine stables
and literally set the racing world on
fire with his deeds.

CATHOLIC ADVANCE.

The Catholic church has always en-
couraged total abstinence among its
people. The Catholic Total Abstinence
Union of America has 100000 mem
bers, and upon that society the church
through her last four popes has in
voked the blessing of heaven-to the
envy, we are told, of all other Catho-
lie organizations who have not been
thus favored. This church, moreover,
through her bishops and priests, ad-
ministers the pledge to tens of thou
sands of children every year on the
occasion Of their confirmation or first
communion.
Last summer saw the first organized
move on the part of Catholics look
ing definitely toward the abolition Of
the liquor traffic. A conference Of
Catholics of the United States and
Canada in the interests of prohibition
was held at Niagara Falls and adopted
most radical resolutions. Hereafter
moral suasion methods will be backed
up by legal suasion policy,

Edward Franklin ('Pop) Geers, the
noted harness driver and trainer,
would rather engage in a fox hunt
than ride in the grand circuit races.
He admitted this much in the course

In its bearing on rural life the good
roads question stands in the very
foreground. The question of the high
er and more expensive grades of roads
will not be discussed further in this
paper than to say that the men who
are urging their construction in lead
ing centers are rendering their coun-

the building of these cannot become

to the expense of building them. In

soever they may be found, but it took
centuries to build them and they were

A VIEW oE HIMSELF


The following story is going the
rounds of the newspapers and is well
worth passing on:
A young man of fine family and
splendid gifts was going down as fast
as 1t was possible for a man to go,
through strong drink. His friends had
pleaded with him, but he had taken
their warnings as an insult One of
them, who was a court stenographer,
was sitting in a restaurant one eve
ming when the young man In question
came in with a companion and sat
down with his back to him at the ad-
joining table. He was just drunk
enough to be talkative about his pri-
vate affairs, and on the impulse of the
moment the stenographer pulled out
his notebook and took a shorthand re-
port of every word he said 1t was
the usual maudlin folly of a young
man with his brain muddled by drink
and included a number of highly can
did details of his daily life-things
which, when he was sober, he would
as soon have put his hand in the fire
as speak about to a casual acquaint-
ance. The next morning the ste
nographer copied the whole thing
neatly and sent 1t round to his Office.
In less than ten minutes he came tear
ing in with, What is this, anyhow"
IT'S a stenographic report of your
monologue at the restaurant last eve
ming" his friend replied, and gave him
a brief explanation.

asked family.

He turned pale and walked out. He

nature of the soil. The all-important
question, therefore, is, to so construct
and care for these roads that they
may be kept in reasonably good con-
dition, and at the least outlay that
will effect this end.
1t goes without saying that when
constructing a country road it ought
to be put in condition that will read
lily take away the water that falls.
Without this no road can be kept in
enough to admit of the easy passing
of two loads of hay on racks, and 1t
should not be of unnecessary width or
height in the center. When laying
out this road it is usually plowed to
the desired width. What that width
may be should vary somewhat. In
the judgment of the writer it does not
need to have a width of more than
40 feet. In most instances the road
bed is made all too wide. Oftentimes
it is made 60 to 70 feet. Where is
the necessity for a road being SO
wide? When this wide, it is much
more liable to rut, since the water is
much more liable to lodge in any de-
pressions that may occur as the result
of traffic.
The road is rounded up nowadays
by the use of the road grader. The
saving of labor in this method of road
building as compared with the scra-
per is very great. The roadbed should
be so shaped that the highest point
should be along the line of the CEN
ter, and the slope should be gradual,
till the sides of the bitches may be
approached, when it may then be
much more abrupt. The bitches
should be deep enough to carry away
the water readily. 1t is not necessary
that they shall be any deeper
When laying out country road, at

straightness of the lines made by the

self have an attractiveness that is
pleasing If for no other reason than
that 1t is absolutely straight. The
necessity for very deep bitches on the
sides is not apparent, and there is no
necessity for having the crown of the
road unduly high.
When the soil roadbed is thus made,
the next important matter is to SO
manage it that it will give the great

GOOD-BY TO ENGLISH GAME
University of Southern California Last
School on Coast to Return to
Rugby of American Type.

Since a reform wave struck Ameri-
can football about a decade ago a
number of American colleges have
tried substituting the English type
of rugby for the college game. The
stronghold of the English importation
has been among institutions along the
lower Pacific coast.
AS a consequence they were heard
of in an athletic way only in the
spring track games. Now there is a
strong tendency on the coast to get
rid of the alien sport. The University
of Southern California is the last
school to announce a return to rugby
of the American type. The athletic
management characterizes the English
sport as II comparatively monoton-
Gus game" and describes it as much
rougher than the college variety.
The trouble seems to lie in trying
to substitute purely foreign sport for
one that has been developed under
American conditions. Games are nee
essarily reflection of the character of
people, and the English character is
somewhat different from that of the
American. AS long as American foot
ball was busy reforming itself there
was a chance for the British importa-
ton. Now that the great autumn
sport of the colleges has been trimmed
of the "old army game" brutalities it
looks like good-by to the English va
riety.

spIlt-Loq DRAG is Useful.

A split-log drag or some similar de-
vice is very useful in maintaining
the surface after suitable bitches and
cross section have once been secured.
This drag can also be used to advan-
tage on gravel road as well as on
an earth road. The principle involved
in dragging is that clays and most
heavy soils will puddle when wet and
set very hard when dry.
