The annual procession of the Sacred
Heart League of ST. Aloysius Parish
and the two local schools took place
on Sunday afternoon. About 800 were
in line, including the students of Leon
ard Hall and st. Mary'S. Academy.
The procession headed by n detail
from the st. Mary'S Industrial Junior
Band, marched from the Academy to
the Church Lawn, benedictiop being
given at both places. Immediately in
front of the Blessed Sacrament, in
the place of honor were the little ones
of this years First Communion class:
but not the full number, aS the threat
ening rain kept many away. In the
church, Father Moakley delivered a
fervent discourse on this public act of
homage to the Blessed Sacrament and
on the honor of walking with God
enjoyed by all who took part in the
procession. Before the closing act of
Benediction, decorations were con-
ferred on the six eighest degrees of the
Academy Apostleship of Study. Miss
Elsie X. Collins received the highest
or papal colors and to all was given
the apostolic blessing. Promoters
crosses and diplomas were also con-
ferrsd on the officers of the Academy

The firm of j. Bolgiano Il Son es-
tablished this year in connection with
their seed business quite a novel plan
10 promote the back to the farm move
ment. This is what they term their
Free Employment Department under
the management of Mr.. Claude b.
Ramsay.
Several hundred people have already
found profitable and healthful employ
ment through the mediums of this de-
partment with absolutely no cost either
to the employer or the employee.
The firm is spending large sums oi
money in advertising in order TO bring
the unimployed back to the healthful
farm life.
Mr.. Ramsey stated he finds among
the applicants, mostly men who have
been born and reared on the farm: but
from tales of the wealth that could SO
easily be acquired in the big cities,
they had been lured from n good live
lihood in the country to the city in
search of some of the so easily gotten
wealth. With the majority, it takes
but a very limited time for them 10
find out their mistake and they are
more than glad to have another oppor-
tunity in the country.
Every applicants past record is
carefully searched and only those who
are found To be honest. reliable, sober.
capable men of good character are
given consideration.
With the employer, ID has been found
to be mighty great help: as by
simply applying TO this Department.
they are furnished with help that can
be relied upon and are thereby re-
lieved of the trouble, worry and annoy
ance occasioned in order to get heip
of this character and, besides, without
any cost to them.

While my darling brother sleeps.

Oh, how hard we tried to save him,
But our cares were all in vain;
Angels came and took him from us,
He is with the Saviour, free from

But now my brother is kneeling
At our Blessed Saviours' feet.

 To kill half a million children sot of n million is no great achievement. But the charitable institutions success was great 'er. For these figures show the total number of children taken in, but of the deaths they show only that portion which took place within the hospital walls The real mortality was double That is since the hospital had the ingenious notion os sending the children out. to nurse in the villages near Moscow. At first the village women were given lump sum of sl.50 for each child, and for this they were expected to bring up the child for whole year.
 They took the money and let the in- fant die. This system Is still in force, with the difference that the village people arc a little better paid. But the massacre in. the village goes on. How many dio is not exactly known But in four Moscow districts which took chill dren in 1909 and 1910, $500 children died out Of 1000. The final estimate of Dr. Duna'sky. a recognized authority, is that of the 1.0s3,oo0 babies brought

doctor was anxious to have his brothers murderer brought to justice, and had been the moving spirit in the employment of my services.
 Next morning the police chief sheriff and myself went over the ground. I ex- amined the hat and the piece of pipe which the murderer had used. The pipe was new, and had been cut from the end of q long joint. evidently for the special use to which it had been put, so that the assassin could conceal it in carrying it to the place where he lay in wait for his victim.
 There was large colony of negroes in Dallas, as in most other Texas towns, but nobody seemed to know any thing of a negro with the features of a white man. All the witnesses of the murder agreed that they hadt never seen anyone before who looked at all like the murderer.
 Since every crime has its motive, began by Investigating any possible cause for the homicide. Mir. Temple discovered had been the superintend- ent of Sunday school. He was in the wholesale lumber business. and was associated with two gentlemen, who may be known as Smith and Per ry. When the partnership was form ed each had taken out s1o.Oo0 life insurance policy on the life of one of his partners, which policies were car ried on the company's funds. Temple, I learned further, had incurred the cnmity of number of citizens, among them being a brother-in-law who had been heard to threaten his life. Temple had had some litigation with the pro- prietor of a sawmll. who lived in the eastern part of the state of Texas. The litigation, which involved the sum of some s50.000, had been in court for several years, but, a short time be- fore the murder, a decision had been rendered in Temples favor The saw mill proprietor had the reputation of being a good citizen, honorable and reliable in business affairs, but had killed two or more people during the course of his life, having been exon erated by the courts on each occasion.
 It was clear, therefore. that there might have been several motives for the commission of the crime.
 Now comes the strange part of my narrative. AL noon on the second day after my arrival at Dallas, having eat en my dinner and walked out of the hotel where I was staying, I stood still for a moment on the sidewalk, being undecided as to which direction I in tended t. take. As I stood there I saw a fine looking young woman com ing across the street toward me. As she approached. I perceived that, al- though as white as myself, she was vet "eolored." only the negro blood showed itself in the contour of the fea- lures instead of in the pigmentation. Her hair was curly and deep red her eyes were blue, her carriage graceful She might have passed for beauty but for the kinky hair and number of large brown freclSles upon her face. As I stood watching her a hand was laid upon my shoulder. and look ed round to perceive Dr Temple stand ing at my side.
 What do you think of her?" inquired the doctor

 Despite the pbilosophic attitude to- ward the massacre of innocents of the 'dom" Officials, reople outside are not pleased.
 The newspapers publish the figures wi.h notes of exclamation. and ask why the dom does not save trouble and sui fering by giving the babies a does or morphia on the day they arrive. once twice the outside authorities tried to check the slaughter. Formerly the dom took in all foundlings found in the street. and also all children delivered by their mothers or by others. It asked no ques- tions. Anyone could get rid of an un- wanted child gratis by sending it to the dom and vicious parents were not tempted to murder heir children. for the good reason that the .dom" did the murdering for them, and saved them trouble and punishment This system was reformed by compelling mothers to bring evidence of identity. and by re- aulring payment down of t0 roubles t$5.Oo) per baby. The results were bad. The number of babies delivered the dom fell off. and the number found in the streets quadrupled. As the children found in the streets were often weak from exposure, the reform had merely the effect of increasing the mortality. Other attempts to remedy abuses had no results and now Empress Alexandria and other persons in authority think tho scandal is too great, and want to put stop to it.
 When Empress Alexandria passed through Moscow on the occasion of this year's centenary festivities. she sum moned Governor nouravieff and asked him to do something All he could lo, said MoQravieff. was to compel the san itary police to inspect the building ano to insist on inquiries being held into the causes Of death He further said ne could enforce the police measures which might diminish the evil of abandoning children in the streets This is not easy as 32 per cent of Moscow's children are born out of wedloclS, and since the "dom' was reformed and the 10 rouble Zee made compulsory the impulse to conceal parentage has become moro marked Governor Mouravieff then suggested that the dom" should be taken over by the municipality. This caused trouble. be- cause to hand it to the municipality .utions of the Empress Marie and that has always been opposed by the Empress Marie, who is extremely jealous of her control
 Probably nothing will be done. When
