E KEATING AS GOOD AS ED WALSH, SAYS CHANGE

Manager Chance of the Yankees refused yesterday to discuss his prob able pitching selection for the open ing game with the Athletics. He ad- n1ited, however, that he had been cap tivated by the work of Keating in Saturdays game. It would not be surprising if the youngster who prov ed the only winning pitcher year ago were hOnored with the first as- signment.

The stock of provisions on hand in this city took an awful slump today when the recruits for the Bridgeport ball club began to report. The young sters sometimes back away from the plate at the ball park but they never back away from the dinner table until they have given the bill of fare a bad beating. Seven hopefuls burst into the Atlantic hotel today and reported to Manager Jake Bou1tes.
 They were OutfieIders Walker Mo Shea, Aldred and Smith and second basemen White. Lockwood and John son. Walker is the Washington, D. c. boy who was secured from Atlanta Of the Southern league. McShea was with the Tri-County league in Penn sylvania last year. A1dred and Smith are fresh from the Providence city league. Johnson is from the same or ganization while White hangs his hat in Springfield. Lockwood is a local boy who played with Milford last year. : On account of the good weather Manager Boultes planned to take the boys for short workout at Newfeld park this afternoon. The work was Very light but tomorrow practice will start in earnest.
 A bunch of boxers training at Capt. Bonds in Stratford have challenged the club for game Thursday and Manager Boultes will accommodate them. Knockout Brown will pitch and Battling Levinsky will play third so the umpfres had better beware. Here is the lineup: Johnny Howard, C.; K. o. Brown, D.; Tom Kennedy, ab.; Jack Coffey, 2b.; Bob Reynolds, ss.: Bat Levinsky, 3b.;. Otto Kohler, f.; Packey Hommey, cf.; and K. O. Kountz, If.

WHAT PENNIES CAN DO.

Some of the little readers of The
Bulletin may think that pennies are
no good except for little things. But
a little paper called the Child Apostle
tells of some big things done with
pennies. Here is what it says in the
January number:
The Fourth SeIf-DeniaI Chapel.
The Child Apostles have already
contributed 10000 pennies for the
building of Self-Denial Chapels. We
are going to keep up these Self-Denial
Funds until the Child Apostles have
contributed One Million pennies. With
this issue we begin the Fourth Self
Denial Chapel. The first $500 was
given to the Diocese of Santa Fe, New
Mexico, the town of Estancia, in
charge of the Rev. A. Besset; the sec
ond $500 was given to the Diocese OF
Alexandria, La, the town OF Tallulah
in charge of Rev. A. Schaefer; the
third $500 is to be given to the Diocese
of Seattle, Washington, town OF Duvall
in charge of the Rev. Daniel P. Kelly
We are now on our Fourth Self-Denia]
Chapel. These little monuments are
being raised to the glory of God by
His little ones who love Him. Are
you one of them?

THE PRAYERS OF A BOY.

The heat was intense. All day the
sun had glared down pitilessly on
the little frame church. All after
noon Father Grey, in the fervor of
his priestly duties, had waged fierce
battle there with sin. Now it was
evening and the conflict grew fiercer,
hotter, for tomorrow would be Trim
ity Sunday, the last day for fulfilling
the Easter duty.
Suddenly seated there in the con-
fessional, a sick loathing came over
Father Grey; horror of the wrong
the shame, the evil of this thing SO
near him. He staggered out of the
confessional, murmuring that he
would be back presently, and, passing
down the aisle, stood just outside the
door of the church.
The night was very still; not a
breath stirred the trees, but the air
here, he told himself, was at least
pure. Pure? All! What did he OF
any man know of purity? He shud
dered, and the horror swept over him
once more, as though the vile, hide
Gus thing touched him physically
the loathsome thing that he must
battle with tonight; and, alas! battle

A SURPRISE FOR MOTHER.

Mrs. Wells walked slowly down the
street Mary watched her from the
window, and said, Mother is tired,
she ought not to work so hard
A little voice in Mary's throat said,
what have you done today to help
your mother?" and Mary answered,
I'm too little to work"
Then the Little Voice in Mary's
heart said, "I suppose you haven't left
anything around for your mother to
pick up" Mary was a very honest lit
tie girl, so she answered, "Only my
hat and my rubbers, my books and my
dolls"
Then the Little Voice said, What a
selfish child! Aren't you ashamed
Hurry and put all your things away
while your mother is gone"
Mary had never realized that she
made so much work for her mother
but when the Little Voice told he1
about it, she began at once to gather
up all her things and put them in
their places. Then she folded the
newspapers and laid the books in
pile on the table.
When Mrs. Wells came home she
was delighted with the surprise"
"You could not have pleased me
more" said she. And Mary answered
Its going to be this way all the
time"

A WONDER BOOK.

Perhaps the most beautiful book in
the world has recently been shown
at Columbia University. It is full
of pictures in fair colors of miracle
workers and Bible characters. 1t is
called Offices of the Virgin" It's
cover of silver and gold was wrought
by Benvenuto Cellini. 1t was illumi-
mated in 1916 by the greatest of all
illuminators, Giulio Clovio, for Cardi-
nal Farnese. It's loneliness has been
enjoyed by twelve generations; thou
sands of eyes have read it page by
page; hundreds of fingers have
searched out the curve and smooth
ness of Clovio's tiny figures. These
memories give an added worth to a
book that has outlived many mems
lives and still endures. Princes OF
Church and State have been made
and unmade, but the line of hobbling
custodians has gone on tending it, and
always it will have a keeper as long
as the pages hold together. The can.
nonadings of war have not rustled one
leaf in it's folded sheep; time is its
only enemy, and the unsullied parch
ment has already outlasted four cen
turtles. 1t will still be telling of the
saints when our noisiest deeds have
ceased to rumble. Those figures OF
the holy ones are so gay and young
that they live on as if in an arrested
springtime.

THE NEW YEAR.
written for The Catholic Bulletin
by AlVatisene.)

The infant year in his cradle lies
Rocked by his father, Time,
While the nations sing sweet lullabies
Attuned to their bells glad chime;
The bells that tolled for the dying
year;
That changed their dirge-like ring
When watchers by the monarch, dead,
Turned to hail the newborn king.
He holds our lives in his dimpled
hands,
This Youngest of Times heirs
He will mark our brows and touch
our hearts
He will multiply our cares;
For change has been the watchword
e'er
In the reign-the sway sublime,
OF the king who rules the growing
years
Of the dynasty of Time
AS this one speeds in his swift career
Marked by the seconds flight,
Through storm and calm, thro' heat
and cold
Or the watchful stars of night,
Shall we keep his pace or lag be-
hind
Where the dust of his flying car
Will fall upon the garments white
That we've spotless kept so far?
Will our weak hearts faint in the
coming strife
The year is sure to bring?
Will our standards fall and our ban
ners trail
While the wealth of our souls takes
wing?
Or shall we strive as we never strove
That this, Times latest son,
May record some deeds that are truly
great
Some battles nobly won?
IT'S we'll to leave the past behind;
'Tis we'll to start anew
With no regret for things undone
But with purpose high to do;
To break the chain that has bound us
fast
To unworthy deeds and aims;
To feel that the best of our faculty
lives
Is what the New Year claims.

as we'll as for those who were neal
Him. The love of Jesus is so great
that He wants everyone in the whole
world to know about it, That is why we
send the missionaries across the sea
carrying the Gospel message of love
When Jesus work on earth was almost
finished He said to His disciples, &c
and teach all nations, baptizing them
in the Name of the Father and of the
Son and of the Holy Ghost, teaching
them to observe all things whatsoever
l have commanded you, and, behold,
am with you all days, even to the con
summation of the world"
Our Lord Jesus was careful to tell
His disciples that they must not try
to teach or preach without the help
of the Holy Spirit. When Jesus went
to His home in heaven He told His
disciples to go to Jerusalem and wait
until the Holy Spirit came to help
them in their work. Think how hard
it must have been for them to wait
when they wanted to go and tell every
one about Gods love! But Jesus
knew that if they began their work
without the help of the Holy Spirit il
would all fail. So Jesus told them
to go to Jerusalem and wait until the
Holy Spirit came to be in their hearts
guiding and directing them in all thai
they did for Him.
The disciples did as Jesus tolt
them to do. They went to Jerusalem
and waited quietly, praying every day
until the Holy Spirit came to them
Then they went at once to begin theil
great missionary work. Some went tt
one distant country and some to an
other. The people had never heard O
Jesus and His love. The disciple!
preached to them the great truths
which they had learned of Jesus ant
they did many of the works of heal
ing which Jesus Himself had done.
From that day until now the worl
of missions has never ceased W.
can help it by our pennies while W.
are small and perhaps when we grow
up we can be missionaries and carr.
the message ourselves. We can al
ways help by our prayers, asking Coz
to bless the work and to hasten thu
day when all shall know that they ar
the children of God.

DEAR LITTLE ONE, HOW SWEET
THOU ART.

Dear little One! How sweet Thou Art,
Thine eyes how bright they shine!
So bright they almost seem to speak
When Mary's look meets Thine!
How faint and feeble is Thy cry,
Like plant of harmless dove,
When Thou dost murmur in Thy sleep
Of sorrow and of love.
When Mary bids Thee sleep Thou
sleep'st,
Thou wakest when she calls,
Thou art content upon her lap,
Or in the rugged stalls.
Simplest of Babes; with what grace
Thou dost Thy mothers will;
Thine infant fashions well betray
The God-head's hidden skill.
When Joseph takes Thee in his arms
And smooths Thy little cheek,
Thou lookest up into his face,
So helpless and so meek.
Yes! Thou art what Thou seem'st to
be, aas,
A child of smiles and tears;
Yet, Thou art God; and heaven and
earth
Adore Thee with their fears.

with unavailingly. There lay Its
power to torment and torture him
beyond endurance that the battle
should be in vain. There in the
church men are waiting for him
men grown old in sin, loving it, even
as he loathed it; but only for tonight
desiring to turn from it. Of what
avail for them, their heritage of faith
of what avail the mighty words OF
absolution, and the pressure of their
polluted lips to the Fountain of the
Precious Blood?
Something like a pail of darkness,
fearful in it's weight and blackness
was holding the priests soul in thrall
with no prayer, no hope, no CLEAN
of light within it-only in a dull per-
sistence, knocking at the door of con
scious thought, three lines of mock
ing poetry with the power of poets
genius strengthening them:
Every heart when sifted well
Is clot of warmer dust
Mixed with cunning sparks of hell
A small figure that had been
crouched on the lower step, out OF
Father Greys sight, arose now and
stood within the doorway, gazing in
to the church. AS the child turned
away, the light from above shone
full upon him, and the tired eyes Of
the priest looked on the face of the
little one. The blue, innocent eyes
smiled up at him, and suddenly or
his souls darkness cleaned all swift
ly and all sweetly the white light o.
Bethlehem and the memory of a Bo!
of Nazareth.
He was surely very little to b.
standing there alone; perhaps he was
five years old, certainly not more, bu
he seemed quite at home, and not il
the least afraid.
'Pm waiting for dad" he explained
affably, as he drew nearer to thu
priest. Hes in there" with not
towards the interior church; I'm!
mother, she's sick, so she told me tt
come with him instead, and be say
ing Hail Marys' while l waited"
AS a drowning man clutches a
some sure means of safety, so die
Father Grey clasp close in both hi
own the fragile hands of the child.
Please" he entreated gently, Evil
you say Hail Mary for me, too
when 1 go back in the church,"
"Why yes," the boy answered, read
lily, cts easy to say Hail Marys.'
can say the Our Father but m.
mother, sometimes she has to he'll
me with that"
Something like a smile was Of
Father Grey's lip when he went bacl
to his work, and sweetly, patiently
strongly, for the sake of blue-eye
innocent, he dealt with every slime
!, that night; knowing that the lovin
Christ had bent so low to aid him il
his hour of weakness, bidding him re
member that, though evil lives seer
to triumph, innocence and holiness
triumph, and live on forever.

them as they demand M. Bazin's
Coming Harvest" and "Davidee Bir-
OF" Why can we not be silent until
God bids us speak-as when the con-
vert-artist Paul Bourget wrote "Di-
vorce" and "L'Etaue," and Mrs.
Craigie, "The School for Saints?"
Like the sacraments of the Church,
art demands both matter and form of
the authoritative right quality. When
either of these is defective the de-
sired result is lost. Richard LIE Gal
lienne may give us in Harper's Month
ly words of poetic form, but he leaves
us with a curse, instead of a sacra-
ment of verse, by reason of his pol
luted matter.
When Francis Thompson wrote
THE Hound of Heaven and
Thomas Daily his lode to Thrush"
they dipped their pens in sacred love,
and the result has been-intimations
of immortality. Mrs Alice Meynel
says in a striking Remembrance" OF
her father. HE had an exquisite style
from which to refrain. The things
he abstained from were all exquisite -
One is loath to tamper with so ap-
parently impressive statement; yet
it raises the question: 1t is lawful foI
man endowed with gifts of the spirit
to enfold them in a napkin of com.
placency, however "exquisite?" For
ourselves, we like better the articu.
late resolve of M. Bazin, yes, 1 will
keep up the fight"
