FOR PATRIOTIC SERVICE
HoNoRED BY GERMAN RULERS.

A short time ago it was reported
that a servant girl in Cologne gave all
her savings, amounting to more than
1000 marks ($50O), to the war fund.
The Empress thereupon presented the
girl with Catholic prayer book with
a dedication in her own handwriting.
Since then she has received the fol-
lowing letter, which is published in
the 'Taeglische Rundschau:'
General Headquarters, November 8,
1914.
His Majesty the Emperor and King
heard with pleasure that you have gen.
erously put your savings at the dis
posal of the war fund of the city of
Cologne. In recognition of this evi-
dence of sacrificing patriotic spirit
His Majesty has been graciously
pleased to present the enclosed gold
brooch to YOU / put you In cogniz-
ance Of this at His Maiesty's order"

PSALM LII
DEUS, IN NoMlNE TUo.
Written for The Catholic Bulletin b.
Helen Hughes HieIscher.)

Save me by Thy holy name,
As my judge, Thee, Lord, claim;
Master, Thou my p1eadings hear,
To my weeping bend Thine ear.
Stranger foemen me pursue,
That my soul they may undo;
God is not before their eyes,
Thou, my Helper, hear my cries.
Turn the evil on the foes,
That on me they would impose;
Cut them off from grace and ruth,
Thou Who art the God of truth.
Freely sacrifice and praise
Will I give Thee all my days;
Thou hast saved me from my woes,
Set me high above my foes.

Preparedness Is Insurance.
Greenfield Gazette. J

The present day advance in democ-
racy, in education, in all forms of
modern philanthropy, is due to the
battles and sacrifices of the past
Had the tyrannies and aristocracies of
the Middle Ages retained their pow
er, modern progress would never have
taken place. Many generations had
to fight for liberty to make these
advances possible. This fact the
modern Paeifsts forget Had their
ideas prevailed, had the leaders of
thought been all William Penns, with
no fighting Oliver Cromwells, we
would still be living under tyrannies
and cruelties in a medieval state.
There are exigencies in world history
when the men of peace and progress
and humanitarian ideas have to get
their guns and shoot The world is
now seeing a recrudescence of mediev-
alism. The more democratic elements
in Europe are sacrificing untold blood
and treasure TO fight this reaction
The United States is not called upon to
enter this battle aggressively. But il
is its duty and the plainest common
sense, to prepare itself to act on the de
fensive against the most cruel and ter
rible power that has asserted itself in
the world since the Middle Ages By
q moderate degree Of preparedness
| we can assure ourselves freedom anc
immunity from this scourge of the

Massachusetts is doing more than any
other state in the Union to make the
roads of the state safe by elimination
of irresponsible drivers of motor vehic-
les. Col. w. d. Sohier, chairman of
the commission, in an address before
the international road congress in
Worcester Friday, cited the fact that
in the last II months the licenses of
357 drivers have been revoked outright
712 other licenses have been suspend
ed and the right Of 189 persons to OPP
crate motor vehicles in this state has
also been suspended, total Of 1853 Ii
censes or rights to operate either re
voked or suspended in one year. A.
showing how much ahead of Other
states Massachusetts is in this regard
Chairman Sohier stated that the tota
number of revocations of licenses in l;
states other than Massachusetts, cover
ing periods for the various states o
from three to nine years, was 600. Il
q large percentage of the cases inves
| tigated in Massachusetts it was foun,
that the direct cause of accident wa
intoxication of the driver.

1t is interesting to learn that out
door work is to be undertaken on a
more or less extensive scale with the
conviets at the state prison in Wind
sor. The state has bought the Arthur
Hunter farm in Windsor. The proper
ty will come under the direction of Su-
perintendent Walker of the prison, and
the operation will be confined almost
wholly to the inmates of the institu-
ton. 1t is probable that the main profit
of the farm will be derived from crop
raising, but or the property are 1900
cords of hard wood and $4,000 feet of
hemloek, so that numbering operations
may be conducted in the winter season
when the arabic land does not demand
attention.

Dancing is an exhibition of skill in
which two people see how fast they
can revolve on hardwood floor with
out losing their breath and balance at
the same time. To accomplish this feat
successfully the dancers are obliged TO
hold on to each other with the utmost
abandon, which causes the pastime tC
be condemned in long. soulful Tesolu-
tions by the Ministerial Union.
The dance was discovered about the
time that Cain lost his first wife, and
for a great many years was used only
in solo form. Whenever one of the
Egyptian Pharaohs had eaten too much
or wanted to forget how many wives
he had, he would call in a willowy dan
Ger and have her skate around the room
on one toe, while one of the court mu-
sicians would squat on his feet and
| maui banjo. This combination is not
used any longer outside of Turkey,
where the dancers are mostly built like
standpipe and are about as fast on
| their feet
The first American dance was called
the minuet and consisted in a low bow
and a skittish retreat to the other side
of the room This dance had one spark
| ling advantage, as it did not allow a
Ibeefv partner to ruin new blue
chiffon gown with Il perspiring paw

Now, if ever, is the time to make
known your love for the birds. The
heavy snow is a decided handicap to
our feathered friends in getting food.
A sweeping from the barn floor thrown
out under It tree in the yard or even
taken to the edge of nearby woods, will
help the birds greatly in getting enough
that the birds mind, as much as it is
the depth of the snow which will hinder
them in reaching the ground or even
some hole in which they have store of
food.

The Grange.
{ Rutland Herald.)


The meeting of the state Grange in
Burlington emphasizes the growth
and Importance OF a movement that
is among strong contributing causes
to Vermont 5 agricultural prosperity.
Begun as a cooperative buying or
ganization, the Grange has become one
of the potent influences for good III
rural life. In Vermont, where for a
half century or more we suffered from
a systematic emigration that took
away some of our best young men of
country training and environment, the
Grange is to be credited with much of
the recent revived interest in rural life
and agriculture which is making the
state "a good place to live in, as well as
| to be born in
| The Grange has not only made posi-
| bic social centers in every town. where
neighbors and eo-agriculturists may get
together for better-feeling meetings
but the programs arranged for such
meetings are of a valuable educational
character.
Treatises by easy-chair experts and
learned addresses by men with soft
hands are all very well, but one of the
total OF knowledge on any given sub
ject is the testimony of experience, Ia,
conclusions of the man who has actually
"d done things
The Grange has succeeded in gettin,
farmers together and in many cases ha
loosened tongues which were seldom
employed i'll public speech. The resul
has been of mutual benefit and the re
10,
fed farming has been chargeable in n
small degree to the neighboring meet
ings of the Grange.
Of even more Importance is the soeia
, contact that comes from summer pie
nies and outings, winter literary meet
ings, dances, plays and sociabIes
No single development of Vermont ri
e raj life has been more conducive to cor

that the mueh-berated concentration

DILLON BEATS FLYNN
IN SLUGG|NG MATCH
Boston Heavyweight Had
Close Call From Knockout
in Seventh Round.

Although Dan "Porky" Flynn had
an advantage OF twenty-five pounds
In weight and several inches In height
on Jack Dillon in their ten-round bout
at the Broadway Sporting Club last
night, he was decisively beaten by
the Indianapolis slugger. The scrap
was another one OF those slambang
affairs which kept the fight fans
worked up TO a high pitch OF excite
ment.
In the first two rounds Flynn
showed up in fine style. He drove IN
many q stiff jab, hook and uppercut,
to Dillon's face and body. When the
third round started Dillon sailed into
Flynn and began to rip in short
punches with both hands to his mid
section and an overland right swing
to the jaw. which would make him
hold on.
Although badly punished Flynn kept
fighting back and many OF his wall
Iops Jared Dillon. As the fight went
along Dillon continued to increase his
lead, and In the seventh round he al
most dropped Flynn with a heavy
right-hand smash on the jaw.
