He began his public career a quarter of century ago as mem Der of the House of Commons. In illustrates the Dukes ready wit. At sat beside a young American woman She was astonished at his flow of con- versation and his mental alertness, and remarked: yI can scarcely believe that in your maiden speech in the House you paused several times and yawned heavily and sleepiIy.''

London, May 31.-There is a hopeful feeling today in political circles re- garding the outcome of the Irish ne gotiations. It is possible Lloyd George will make a statement in the House of CommQps before adjournment to- morrow, to the effect that considerable pro 3Fess has been made although tho main dificulty-the exclusion of CI- ster-is not entirely removed.
 According to published reports the Irish members of the parliament be- lieve that an agreement is virtually certain and thet the case of Ulster will ise provided for. The parliament ary correspondents of provincial pa pers believe that the Irish question is nearer conclusion that is suggested by the London papers.
 The leaders of the two parties held a most harmonious meeting yesterday at which, according to the Herald, the chief point at issue was settled The Nationalists and Ulster men shook hands across the table at the conclu- sion of the meeting.
 While there is no Confirmation at Westminster that an agreement ac4 tually has been reached, it is believed that an early settlement is possible. Sir Edward Carson has called a meet ing of the Ulster members for today, at which he is expected to make a re- port on the negotiations.

CATHEDRALS

The first Roman Catholic cathedral in the United States was dedicated in Baltimore ninety-f1ve years ago today, May 31, 1891, the edif1ce having been commenced in 1921. The first Cath o1fc cathedral in continental North America was that iH the City of Mexi- co, which was commenced in 1875 and completed in 1710. While the Roman church held sway over Canada and Mexico from the beginning of their. settlement, the Pope had but few fol- lowers in the colonies which were planted by England. From the first Maryland was tue principal Catholic center, and Baltimore naturally be- came the first city in the United States in it's historical relation to the Church of Rome, and the seat of the first bishopric. When the foundation was laid for the Baltimore Cathedral there were less than 50,Ooo Catholics in the republic, exc1usiveNNf Louisiana, which added about 30,OOO Catholics to the population when annexed Ain 1903. Although Baltimore has long since lost it's pRe-epainence as the center of the greatest Catholic population, it remains the center of American Catholic activ- itieS

Of all affection taught 8 lover yet
 Iris sure the hardest science to forget. Good nature and good sense must ever
 join; To err is human, to forgive divine.''
 There is a, limit to the patience or even the most good natured of women. Whether they put too much faith in g. mans work or whether men imagine they may cut many capers as they like and only have to ask in apparent contriteness to be forgiven to have it granted them is somewhat of a prob lem.
 A man may signify his intention to can upon a young woman on a eer- tain evening, and, through the stress of unusual and unexpected business complications arising, work late and completely forget the date and that he is expected to call at a certain hour Remem brance of the fact usually comes to him at an hour too late to put in an appearance. He, does the next best thing-hastens home and writes the girl. He asks her pardon for disappointing her. He seldom tells the exact truth concerning the matter because, as he turns it over in his mind, it sounds too absurd. He frames up a reasona ble excuse. The girl believes and pardons him.
 Let it occur too often and annoy ance crowds out interest in the girls heart for him. It is bad enough to sit in her best bib and tucker waiting for him, painfully conscious her mother and father are commenting upon the lateness of the hour in the room above and her two sisters in the front room, across from there, and her mischiev- ous younger brothers giggling in the hall and whispering shrilly to each other between laughs. A spirited girl soon feels that she will lose her self respect by forgiving such fragrant neglect again and again.
 On some other occasion when he tells her he is to call, declaring she may trust him this time, he is aston sorry, but I am expecting company on that evening" '.Polie fction,'' the man who has no word concludes but the girl is sincere. She has told him the truth She has grown tired of be- ips asked to pardon his absenting has turned to other acquaintances, whb would not thus abuse a. Iady's confidence and forfeit her good opfr- ion. ,5 f.
 .I Her family makes no bones of ex- it's disapprova1 of his meth ods. Her father sets him down as a man not to be depended on.< Her mother thinks he is not sufficiently in terested in her to spend an evening if he can find more congeniaI society elsewhere. Her sisters indignantly dub him a mean fellow. The small brothers do not like him on general for he has never yet kept his word with them about bringing them marbles, kites and balls They are mot like their sister-after being fooled once by him \they never after ward trust his word
 It is a lesson the boys are told never to forget-that they may be pardoned once or perhaps twice for neeligenee but after that it becomes an old story
 A man should be chary about break ing his word with women. They may forgive in part, butAdo they forget?
