NEW PAN-AMERICANIsM.

The new Pan-Americanism, the Presl-
dent emphasized, was destined to play a
foremost part in the economic readjust-
ment which must come about with the
end of the European war He laid stress
on how the United States had played
"brother'' to Mexico. He reiterated
again that the United States had no eel
tish purpose in its guardianship of the
South and Central American Republics,
1t was an equality of nations themselves
independent except in mutual aims and
aspirations.

AN INTERESTING STORE.

Sauntering day or two since along
upper Hennepin avenue the writer
was attracted by the window display
at No. 1923. But this was no more than
was to be expected. for the window
was totally different from what one
sees up and down all the streets of
the city. It pleased the artistic eye
with It's taste and beauty and raised
the world weary spirit to the sunlit
caps of the mountains of everlasting
loneliness beyond. It spoke of art and
religion. It was a church goods shop.
On entering he found rosaries, statues,
cructfixes, sanctuary supplies. pictures
and books. The beautiful rosaries and
scapular lockets especially compelled
attention. The lockets, apart from
their spiritual use, make a handsome
ornament for watch chain or ladies
neck. The rosaries were of all kinds
and prices; the sparkling gems in set
tings of gold were works of art in.

of bisque, beautiful and yet inexpen.

there is. for instance, the music class
under the very skillful direction of
the choirmaster, the Rev. Father

RELATIVES LOST IN ITALY.
St. Paul italians Fear Many Of TheiI
kinsmen Perished In Great

'tS@ Earthquake.
Father Clebatone, pastor of st. Am
brose church, in Bradley street, said
that he understood several members
of his congregation had lost relatives
through the earthquake.
"A considerable number of my PEG.
ple," he explained, come from the
Abruzzi district. None of them, SO
far as have heard, have received d.
rect word from their families at home.
"But the great loss of life at Avez-
zano and at neighboring places made
several men quite certain that all Of
their relatives could hardly have es.
capped.
II am from another part of Italy,
but I have visited both Avezzano,
which was destroyed and Arcola,
where much damage was done. They
are ancient towns, dating back to the
Roman days.
I'm Avezzano there were some fine
antiquities, including an arch Of the
Emperor Constantine. Both that town
and Arcola had beautiful Cathedrals.
1T was at Arcola that Napoleon
with $4,000 men defeated the Austri-
ans with 10000 men near the end of
the eighteenth century,"

DE LA SALE INSTITUTE.

During these days. enthusiasm
reigns through the halls of the De La
Sale Institute. The examinations for
the second quarter of the session are
on. These tests are admirable means
of waking up the sleepy and goading
on the lazy. They will be all over
by the end of the week. On Friday,
the 29th. the results will be an.
nounced to the entire school as
sembled in the hall.
In addition to the hearing of their
reports, the students receive a telling
instruction from the Rev. Brother Di-
rector. He enlightens them on their
religious and social duties; he in.
structs them in the requirements of
good discipline; and, in well.chosen
and forceful terms, he arouses in them
an ardent desire of what is noble and
true, and corresponding detestation
of what is vulgar and sinful. In do.
ing this, he judiciously avails himself
of the great power of example. The
lives of men who made their mark in
the civil or religious world are drawn
on to bear out in practical way his
words on the high and holy truths
and duties of our Christ-given relig-
ion. The result of these lectures
are plainly evident afterwards in the
manners and conduct of the students.
The proceedings are enlivened by
several numbers in music and song
from the De La Sale choir.

PARISH OF THE INCARNATION.
The West Side Commercial club
rooms were crowded to the doors
Wednesday evening when an oyster
supper was given, followed by a
dancing party. Hundreds of the par
ishioners and their friends thronged
the spacious halls of the club room,
enjoyed the supper and remained for
the informal dancing party which
was held Immediately following the
supper. The membership in the In
carnation parish has been growing at
q most rapid rate and the large
crowd that was on hand to enjoy the
supper and participate in the dane
ing was ample evidence of the en-
thusiasm and spirit of parish devo-
ton that prevails in the parish.
