o Mary, Joseph, take my hands,
And let me sit between,
And tell me of that Christmas night
Which your own eyes have seen.
Forget this ragged soul of mine,
BY care and sin defiled,
And only think within your hearts,
"Tis one that loves the Child
When first His little pleading cries
Fell strangely on your ears,
What pity filed your tender hearts
Your eyes o'erfiowed with tears.

The Holy See has decreed a division
of the Ecclesiastical Province of st.
Boniface, which comprises the Prov
inces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Keewatin, and the erection of Winni-
peg and Regina into Metropolitan
Sees. The new Archdiocese of Win
nipeg comprises that portion of the
Province of Manitoba west of Lake
Winnipeg and the Red River; while
the Archdiocese of st. Boniface re-
tains all it's former territory laying to
the east of this. The Diocese of Regi-
ma, heretofore suffragan to the Arch
diocese of st. Boniface, becomes the
head of new Ecclesiastical Province
comprising the whole of Saskatchewan
with Prince Albert as a suffragan die-
cese.
Bishop Matthew, who has been head
of the Diocese of Regina since Novem-
Der, 1911, becomes the first Archbishop
of that See; Bishop Beliveau, Auxil-
iary Bishop of st. Boniface, is promot-
ed to the Archbishopric in succession
to the late Archbishop Langevin; and
the Right Reverend Mgr. Sinnott, Sec
retary to the Apostolic Delegate, OF
tawa, is appointed Archbishop of Win
nipeg.

A Spiritual Warfare.

I. There is, then, as we know by
fact and by faith, another warfare. 1t
is an intense, continuous, all-compre-
hensive struggle, on the issue of
which hangs eternal veal or woe. 1t
is the warfare of mind and sense, of
the spirit and the flesh, of the forces
of holiness and the forces of sin. 1t
began with the Fall, and it shall end
only with time. The battle-ground is
the secret chamber of every human
breast. In this momentous struggle,
if fallen man had been left without
hope, as the forces of evil were the
stronger, in one mass accursed all
would have gone down. But God was

seemingly in the throes of death.
Now nation is arrayed against nation,
and ever wider and more devastating

bewilderment ask, is that message

of the nSelic hymn of peace, while
Christians in elemental fury are eX-

uments of Christian art and Christian
worship,-the labor of centuries are
going down at the hands of Christians
in one common woe! The cry has al
ready gone forth: Christianity has
failed, it's message is lost, Christmas

Nothing could be more untruthful
than that infdel cry. Today not in

But the Divine Child, too, was born

and feeble picture. He, too, took up

Washington.-Even the Oldest in
habitant of Port au Prince, Haiti,
can't remember the time before now
when the Haitian tropics received the
baseball scores every evening.
Somehow one doesn't associate the
thought of the blue Caribbean and
scorching semi-equatorial sunshine
with the thought of New York, a.;

fact, just the same.
Not only baseball scores, but the
latest word about the kaiser and the

The officers and men of Uncle Sans

now able to learn of the things going
on at home and abroad.

OF the naval radio service, is the man
who conceived the idea, and through
his suggestion Secretary Daniels OBJ
tanned the cooperation of news

Only officers and sailors who are thou

The men are more interested in the
baseball scores of the National and
American leagues than in any other
point of the days news. The latest
boiler explosion west of Pittsburgh,
however, gets their avid interest.
The naval radio service looks upon
the idea as a great development of its

STATUS OF THE RIGGS BANK
Affidavits Seem to Have Made Out
Strong Case Against Conduct Of
the institution.

Affidavits describe the Riggs bank,
through its officials, as persistently
breaking the banking laws: as unlaw-
fully conducting brokerage and land
loan business; as making illegal loans
to its own officials and to clerks on
stock collateral; as swearing false
oaths; as gaining government favors
from those about to enter It's employ
ment.
They paint blacker picture. They
charge that Illegal and improper loans
were made to Senators Bailey, Quay
and Proctor; to the late Representa-
tive J. d. Richardson, who could favor
Standard Oil traction interests; to
Frank A. Vanderlip. now president of
the Standard Oil bank in New York.
whose services to it in the purchase of
the old customhouse are well remem'
bered; to former treasury officials,
among them Comptroller Ridgely, and

President Wilson. like President
Cleveland. has found some members OF
his marty In congress who are not In
accord with the avowed Democratic
tariff policy. As matter OF political
fact. the commercial development OF a
mart of the solid South resulted In
aIigning few Democratic senators
with the most effective champions of
the protective policy. The president
has declared that he is not free
trader and. in effect, that he sought no
more than reasonable tariff revision.

AIDS ALL BUSINESS
New Currency System Great Help
to Country.
President Wilson Explains the Good
Effects Which Must Result From
Operation of Law for Which
Democrats Are Responsible.

Let bankers explain the technical
features of the new currency system.
Suffice it here to say that it provides
currency which expands as 1t Is need
ed, and contracts when it is not need
ed; currency which comes into exist
ence in response to the call Of every
man who can show a going business
and a concrete basis for extending
credit to him. however obscure or
prominent he may be, however big or
little his business transactions.
More than that, the power to direct
this system of credits is put into the
hands Of public board of disinterest-
ed officers Of the government itself
who can make no money out Of any,
thing they do in connection with 1t.
No group Of bankers anywhere can get
control; no part of the country can
concentrate the advantages and con-
veniences of the system upon itself for
its own selfish advantage. The board
can oblige the banks of one region to
go to the assistance of the banks of
another. The whole resources Of the
country are modified, to be employed
where they are most needed. | think
we are justified in speaking Of this as
a democracy credit. Credit is at the
disposal Of every man who can show
energy and assets. Each region OF
the country is set to study its own.

country stands by to assist. 1t is self

Agriculture.)
The annual toll of the Texas fever
cattle tick in the infested area OF the
South reaches staggering total. Yet
the tick itself is small parasite, Sc
curing it's sustenance by taking little
sups of blood from the animals and
often passing on to them the dreaded
Texas fever. Many cattle owners
who have always been accustomed to
see both ticks and ticky cattle ON
their farms unfortunately are not In
clined to attach much Importance to
cattle ticks, and, as a rule, through
lack Of appreciation OF their damag-
ing effects, consider them as of little
consequence. Ticks take their toll
in many ways, all of which are not
generally understood. TA-lr power of
transmitting Texas fever would alone
demand their complete eradication,
but there are other good reasons for
Kidding the South of cattle ticks.
1t Is not uncommon to notice anil
mails on pastures with their hides
very heavily infested with ticks. By
continuous sucking of the blood from
the animals, the ticks imrOverish
their circulation and the cattle must
he fed heavier in order to meet the
demands OF the ticks in addition to
the ordinary needs Of the animals.
This condition, together with the loss
of blood. frequently induces an irri-
table state and evidences Of uneasi-
ness, commonly known as "tick
worry" which results in loss Of en-
ergy and In other arrangements in
the animals health. Especially dur
ing hot weather, In pronounced cases,
the animal loses flesh in spite Of good
pasture, and because of reduced vi
tally Is more susceptible to the in
roads of disease. II the animals be-
come heavily infested the growth of
the cattle may be retarded. In many
parts of the South young cattle are
thin. weak and stunted, condition
which has been termed "tick pow.
erty."
Il does not appear strange, when
1t is considered that some animals
harbor many thousands of these
blood-sucking ticks, that the milk flow
from mich cows Is greatly reduced.
If these ticks are crushed, it will be
found that their intestines are COM
pletely filled with a dark. thick mass
