THE OTHER SON.

One day two well-dressed, but some
what intoxicated, young men stag
gered into Macon, Mo-, studio, and
said they wanted to have their pic
lures taken.
"All right boys" said the photog-
rapher; "how do you want lie to pose

the lads replied; won't we, Joey?"

TASKS, and zigzagged over to the back
ground screen. There they arranged
themselves, each with an arm around
the others neck, while their free
hands held their bottles to their lips.
Now, shoot away, old man. one of
the boys directed the photographer.
The two young men lived back. in
the country. Instead of taking the
cars home they decided to walk on
the track. On curve around the Hill
one of the boys was run over and
killed by train. At the inquest the
half-empty whisky-fask, which was
not broken, was in evidence.
Some weeks later an old woman at
tired in mourning visited the studio,
and gave her name to the photog-
rapher.

my son while back" she said. II

explained. Maybe you've got an old

But | want the one he had taken

The photographer still hesitated.
He was good man, and he had a
gentle old mother of whom this
woman in black reminded him.
"Pd-Td rather not make the pic.

good. You won't like it at all. The
truth is" he added desperately, "he
had it taken with a bottle of liquor
to his mouth"
That's just why I want it," said
the mother. "You see, I've got an.

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE.
THE TRAGEDY OF DRUNKENNESS.

Why do we laugh at drunkenness?
Surely the tragedy of the drunkard
is not fit subject for mirth or merry
making. And if this is true when the
drunken spectacle takes the form of
a man bereft for the time being of his
senses, how much less mirth-provok-
ing is the drunken woman? "A drunk
en- man is sad enough to look upon"

SHEPHERD NEEDE D
ASSISTANT PROSECUTOR MOTT,
OF NEWARK, NJ. j., PRAISES
CATHOLICS CORRECTIVE WORK.
From the Newark Evening News.

Assistant Prosecutor Wilbur A. Mott
in urging constructive reform work,
commended the Roman Catholics for
their maintenance of corrective insti-
tutions like the House of the Good
Shepherd and the Protectory, and
charged the Protestant churches with
having failed in doing their duty by
society. Mr.. Mott is not a Catholic.
Commenting the work, which has
been started, and referring to the fact
that the Protestant churches are be-
hind their Roman Catholic brothers in
the establishment of homes where
girls and boys needing reformatory
care and moral upbuilding can be sent.
1--WE have penal institutions to
which these girls can be SENT" he
said, "but what is greatly needed is
some place to which they can be sent
and their reform undertaken without
making it necessary to commit them
to prison and thus branding them for
all time.
1--WE spend large sums Of money in
maintaining courts, in the construc-
ton and upkeep of iails for the punish
ment of crime, but very little in COM
parison to prevent the commission of
crime.
What | would like to see is an in
stitution not only to provide for those
coming out of Jail, but more than that,
an institution which could be substi-
tnte for the jail; where the character
of the charge could be built up and
a new perspective and appreciation of
right and wrong inculcated in her.
what a commendable thing it
would be if you could regulate the
lives of girls and boys between the
ages of 10 and Is. We spend too much
effort in trying to reform women and
men after they have been branded
with a prison sentence, when if the
effort were made before they had been
dragged into crime they could be
saved.
IF you can establish a home such
as have outlined and which will fill
a big need, a home where the inmates
can have strong moral influences
which will aid in their salvation, you
will be doing Christ's own work"

There is a daring, freedom and
a freshness about the lives Of the
saints, says Father Maturin, in
Laws of the Spiritual Life. +" A
liberty that surprises, perhaps a
little scandalizes, more timid ma
lures. The ordinary plodders on
the well-worn path to heaven are
not prepared to find these saints
plunge into thickets and climb by
unknown paths, and outstrip them
by their daring and their dominant
individuality. They, to all appear
ance, take liberties with prescribed
methods, show fearlessness of
the ordinary dangers that beset
the spiritual life and exhibit con-
fidence in God that looks to timid
eyes startlingly like presumption !;
yet somehow they come out right,
they succeed where others fail, and
leave the rest of the world far be-
hind.

The precept Of Easter Com
munion is binding ON all children
who have attained the age Of rea-
son as we'll as ON the faithful of
both sexes who have reached
maturer years. The Council of
Trent makes no distinction be-
tween adults and children in this
regard. Parents should see to it,
therefore, that all children who
have made their first private Com
receive the Easter Com
munion. All who have not made
their private Communion, though
over the age of seven years,
should prepare as soon as possible
for that sacred duty.

make a sick world all right, to sit
out interminable games of cards,
to hear all the dreary yarns and
chestnuts that helped Shem, Ham
and Japhet to while away the
time in the ark, or to read all the
trash of the Sunday papers. The
fact is that such persons are not
straight and honest with them
selves. What they need is a good
talking-to. The pastor cannot be
there to do it in all cases. Let
the laymen lend hand. This is
the age of the lay apostolate, and
right here is the place to begin.

The american Federation of
4 o-called) Patriotic Societies is
up in arms at the Board Of Direc-
tors Of the Panama-Pacif Exposi-
ton now being held in San Fran
cisco. It seems that this organiza-
ton, whose national officers reside
in the Twin Cities, had secured
permission to hold the National
Convention at the Exposition in
October next. The Board Of Di-
'rectors recently cancelled the
reservation and this patriotic So
ciety must meet elsewhere. 1t
goes without saying that the
patriots" are mad. They threat
en- reprisals. They urge all
Protestant American patriots
to boycott the Exposition. The
directors of the Exposition are not
worrying. They probably learned
the nature Of this organization of
bogus patriots and in the interest
of peace, harmony and true Amer
|icanism, they concluded that If
would be better for these anti
Catholic bigots to assemble in
some other place. The sane senti.
ment Of Americans will commend
their action.

TOTAL ABSTINENCE WORK A
SOCIAL SERVICE.

That temperance work is one of the
highest forms of social service, has
long been recognized. 1t is especially
gratifying to note the following edi-.
torial which appeared in a recent is
sue of the Boston Journal:
One of the most useful organizations
in this city, from constructive point
of view, is the st. Josephs Total Alb
stinence Society of the West End,
which was organized fifty years ago
and which celebrated its golden
anniversary in April. 1t is the Oldest
association of it's kind of Boston, and
it was doing welfare work in its Sec
ton of the city when welfare work, as
such, had not even won it's modern
designation.
The West End, which was once the
court end of Boston, has changed
much in fifty years. It's population
has increased, and the pitfalls for
young men have not diminished, to
put the fact conservatively. Every
charter member of the society has
passed away, but it has continued to
do good in a modest manner, has en-
joyed the membership and co-opera-
ton of distinguished men, lay and
clerical, and has rescued from the
dangers and evils of alcoholism more
than few who are now prominent
and respected citizens.
Too much cannot be said for the
good work done by an association of
that kind, during an existence OF fifty
years, without endowment or the pat
ronage of wealthy men. Its history
furnishes striking lesson for those
who are prone to believe that genuine
social service and uplift is of a COM
paratiyely recent growth in Boston.
It should be an inspiration for mutual
helpfulness in every parish of every
faith.

Some time ago announcement
was made in the Catholic press
that Mrs. Russell Sage had given
$4,000 to the Sisters of the Good
Shepherd in Syracuse, N. Y. 1t
now appears that the donation
was made, not to the Sisters of
the Good Shepherd, of which there
are none in Syracuse, but to the
Hospital Of the Good Shepherd
which is affiliated with the SYRIA
cuse University, a Methodist insti-
tuition. Mrs. Sage has never
placed Catholic institutions among
the recipients Of her bounty.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF PEN
TECOST.

The feast of Pentecost reneWs
the memory. of the events which
took place in Jerusalem at the
dawn Of the Christian Era. 1t
carries us back in spirit to the lit
tie upper chamber where the
Apostles were ''mitred with pente-
costal fire. as a preliminary to
the actual work of world evangeli-
zation committed to them by the
Savior.
The first Pentecost was a memo
rable day in the history of human
ity. 1t witnessed the accession to
the ranks Of the early Christians
of the three thousand converts
from among the "devout men, out
of every nation under heaven, to
whom the Prince Of the Apostles
addressed the first message of the
new dispensation. It was the
natal day of the Catholic Church,
lsignalized by the successful in
auguration of the mission to
"preach the gospel to every crea-
ture" which had been entrusted to
the Apostles. These God-appOint-
ed teachers Of divine truth were
"filled with the Holy Ghost" and
thereby strengthened and embold-
ened for the tremendous task OF
converting the pagan world to the
religion of Jesus Christ. How
faithfully they performed this
mission, their deeds attest. How
successful they were is shown by
the numerous accession to the one
true fold even in their brief day.
How loyal their rightful sue
cessors in the long line of the
Christian priesthood have been to
the apostolic mission is proved by
the marvellous spread of Christian
lity in the early days and the whole
subsequent history of the Catholic
Church.
The Holy Spirit Who sat
upon the Apostles on the first
lPentecost has never ceased to
dwell within the Church. He is
her soul, her very life. Without
His abiding presence and unfail-
ling cooperation the Church would
never have weathered the storms
of twenty centuries; she would
never have surmounted the obsta-
cles placed in her pathway by the
Ipowers of evil; she would never
have won the victories for God
and souls which are recorded on
every page of her glorious annals.
But Pentecost is not without
Significance for the individual
Christian. The Holy Ghost Who
lcame upon the Apostles enriched
them with a personal sanctity be-
fitting their exalted mission and
Iduring all the ages the Church
has cherished Him as the sancti-
Ifier of human souls. The spiritual
life of the individual is due to His
Ipresence within the soul-a pres
fence which persists as long as sin
lis not allowed to darken the
Threshold. Even when sin has
brought about His departure, He
docs not abandon the soul entire
lily but seeks. in the myriad ways
known to divine grace, to arouse
lit to realization Of its deplofable

Last week William III. DeLacey
of Washington, former Judge of
the Juvenile Court of the District
of Columbia, made the principal
address before the local Board of
Education in favor of the employ
ment of a special temperance
teacher in the public schools. He
recalled his experience as Judge
in the Juvenile Court and de-
clared that 50 per cent of the
cases brought before him could be
traced directly to the use of intox-
icating liquor. He declared that
the education of children in tenn
perance reform would lead to i'm
proved conditions in the homes.

for the cause of Christ Whoever in
the course of ages, whether as a soli-
tary of the desert or as a member of
religious community, has made the
vow of poverty, is a successor of those
early Christians. Furthermore, it has
ever been held, that we are Christians
just in proportion as we hold our
goods in poverty of spirit The eye
of the needle is just as small and the
camel is just as big now, as in the
time of Christ The rich man, that
is, one who does not regard his prop
erty and it's stewardship as a Christian
should, either does not enter the
Church, or if he happens to be in, he
drops out, or smoothes the way for
his children to drift out. Christians
can have no idolatrous attachment to
riches and remain Christians. On the
other hand Christ came not to destroy
society but to purify and elevate it.
Allowance being made for the thou
sands, who are, called like the first
Christians to the better way all Or
ders and classes remain according
to the natural laws Of development
bat purified by faith. Without them
the Church could not exist and exam
pies of perfect virtue would cease.
There was one particular, however,
it was stated, in which the community
of goods of the first Christians re-
sembled modern attempts to realize
Socialism. 1t ended in dire distress.
At Antioch first and then in all Chris
tian missions, aims had to be collected
for the starving mother church.
From this experience religious COM
munities have learned to exercise
their activities in occupations, which
make the communities and the work
that they do lasting, and thus they
differ in one particular also from that
first model.
Solution OF the Social Problem.
IL the example of early Christians
solves the social problem only in spir-
it, and if Socialism would make things
indiscribably worse and therefore
does not solve it at all, what does
solve it? Sound sociologists answer,
that complex problem demands a
complex solution, and a problem that
varies from day to day demands an
ever new modification of that solution.
Remedial legislation of all kinds, in
dividual relief, State relief, co-opera.
tive associations, education in uplift
and sanitation, above all, the awaken
ing of the social conscience and the
incubation Of sObriety and economy
are proposed as program of social
reform that, while leaving intact all
natural rights and safeguarding prog
ress, promises better era for human
ity. Christians, however, will bear in
mind that under the most favorable
economic conditions the effects of
original sin will always be felt, and
that the lessons of the Cross cannot
be made void. AS for Catholics in
particular, the encyclical on the Con
ditions of Labor" contains for them
the principles, that govern, and the
program that solves the social prob
lem.
