HUGE SUMS
To Go For Defense-If Two Senate
Bills are Approved by House
Near $500, 100000 Is Total Of
Measures-Army ApprO-
priatlOn Is Increased
BY SOlOns.

Washington, July 27-Nearly $780,
boo, 900 for national defense in the fis-
cal year 1917 is the aggregate of pro-
posed appropriations reached in the
Senate today with passage of the army
appropriation bill, carrying in round
numbers $314,O0O,OOO.
This grand total for preparedness
still is subject to revision, however,
because the army bill will follow the
naval bill into conference, where redu-
lions are probable despite the firm at
titude of President Wilson in support
ing the liberal response of the Senate
to the call for edquate defense.
Navy Is Given Most
The appropriations for preparedness
as they now stand are as follows:
Army, $913,97O, 447,1O.
Navy. $S15, S26,S43.55.
Fortifications Caw), $25.74SO5O.
Military Academy, $2.23S,32S.57.
Army and navy deficiency, S27,559,-
34S.O5.
Total, $685., 343,O17.27.
AS it passed the Senate the army bili
exceeded the appropriations made by
the House by more than $131 zoo. 900.
In the final hours of debate on the
measure the Senate agreed to an ap-
preparation of 100000 for relief OF
dependent families of national guards
men and regular army soldiers in SER
vice in the Mexican emergency. Dis
tribution of the fund is left to the dis
erection of the Secretary of War, but in
no case shall any dependent family re-
ceive more than $50 a month.
Suffrage Of Soldiers Lost
An amendment, agreed to yesterday,
giving soldiers on the border the right
TO vote in the field at the November
election was eliminated from the bill
on point or order just before pas
sage.
AS soon as the army bill was out of
the way the Senate took up and pass
ed, after brief debate, the military
academy appropriation bill, carrying
$2,23S,32S.57, an increase OF $1,O19,524
over the House authorization.
In the main the Senate approved the
Military Committees increase over
House appropriations in the army bill,
although there were a few reductions
in the committee recommendation due
to improvement in the Mexican situa-

CHIMES OF ST. MlcHAEL's.


While the Old World boasts of many
famous bells and chimes, to which
clings the association of romance and
poetry, there are no bells in the world
that have had a moro adventurous
career than those of st. Michael's at
Charleston, S. c. The we'll authenti.
Gated story of this celebrated peal
shows that the bells composing it have
crossed the ocean no less than five
times-once as a heap of twisted
metal.
The bells of st. Michael were cast in
England some time before the Revolu-
tionary war and brought to this coun-
try. When the war against the old
country began the Charleston peal
was sent back to England so that it
might not be injured. Upon the con-
clusion of the war the Charlestonians
clamored for their bells, and it became
the duty of our first minister to great
Britain to see that they we're returned.
His negotiations we're successful and
the bells were with much ceremony,

AMERICAN PRIEST.

Rev. Daniel Quinn is an American,
Catholic, and above all, a devoted
priest. He is linguist also-head
of the Leonine College at Athens,
Greece.
In the ten years he has passed in
sight of the Acropolis, Father Quinn
has had few lonesome hours-for
even in that far-off land the ubiquitous
Celt is in evidence. Several years ago
Father Quinn took vacation on the
Island of Cephalonia, one of the seven
Ionian islands Off the west coast of
Greece. One day while wandering
over the island he came upon an in
stitution of learning for women

the Irish race written in Greek.
Father Quinn continued his journey
to the principal town of the island
There he found that the leading mer.
chant and exporter was a man named
O'Toole, of Irish extraction, who
spoke no other language than Greek.

VIRGIN OF ANrIPOLo.

The shrine of the Virgin of Anti
polo, Our Lady of Peace and a Happy
Journey, has an interesting history.
Three hundred years ago the statue
of Nuestra Sonora de la Pazzy Buen
Viaje made its first trip to the Philip
pines from South America, on board
Spanish galleon. For hundred years
it did service on many a voyage be-
tween Spain and her Eastern posses
sions, and many soldier and sailor
OH his way to the Philippines or on
the homeward voyage invoked the pro-
lection of Nuestra Sonora de la Pazzy
Buen Viaje. After one of the voyages
in Manila the statue was lost for a
time during an uprising. Later it was
found where it now stands in the
branches of an antipolo tree 1t re-
tanned the title of Our Lady of Peace
and Happy Journey, but the Filipi-
nos named it the Virgin of Antipolo,
and the town was founded at the place
of discovery.

CATHOLICS IN PENITENTIARlEs

Rev. Peter A. Crumbly, o. F. NJ,
chaplain of the Illinois State peniten-
tiary, is authority for the following
statements recently published in the
Extension Magazine
I'VE are often told that the popu-
lation of our prisons and reformatories
is made up largely of Catholics. This
is false, for statistics show that in
the Joliet penitentiary, as we'll as in
all the larger penitentiaries of our
country, the Catholics form but the
minority of the inmates Thus, for
instance, here in Joliet, while $50 out
of LAS inmates are registered as
Catholics, only 230 can now Tie called
practical Catholics, since that is the
number of Easter Communions re-
ceived here this year. We find large
number who call themselves Catho-
lies, but whose Catholicity consists in
descent from parents or perhaps
grandparents who had been baptized
but afterward neglected their religion
They are Catholics by birth and moth
ing else; they were not educated in
Catholic schools. Only very small
percentage of the Catholic inmates
here were trained in parochial schools,
not more than three or four having
completed the eighth grade in such
schools.
these same conditions are true of
other large penitentiaries throughout
the country, as is shown by statistics
published in their official reports

removed for safety to Columbia, but
when the army of Sherman occupied
that town the sheds of the yard Of the
state house wherein the bells had been

1t was found that the firm of bell

CHILDREN AND PENNIES.
Boys and Girls To Be Taught Habit
of Thrift.

In the Woman's Home Companion is
found an excellent editorial entitled
Thrift Without Covetousness, which
is so-~exactly in line with the ideas
of teaching young people how to man
age their affairs sensibly that we
quote it here:
THE war has wrought one benefit
to the world at least-it has given a
new birth to thrift. Prime Ministers
are preaching this virtue now, as well
as economists, and courts are setting
the example for cottages. In this
country, also, there is hardly any
household to which the war, in it's
present effects or its ultimate posi-
bilities, has not given new dignity
to a family savings account
But thrift is virtue which ought
not to depend for its popularity upon
catastrophe. 1t should be taught by
every mother to every child And
there are few things which can be
more easily spoiled in the teaching.
To draw the line between thrift and
~ lGdSn a. UOy vi SAIl
how to save for the future without
impoverishing the present, is not al.
ways easy. We remember a certain
mother, a farmers wife, who brought
her boy up in the worship of thrift,
only to have him die of pneumonia in
early manhood because he could not
endure the expense of proper medical
attention.
Childhood should learn thrift as a
game. The boys allowance of 10 or
Is or % cents week ought to begin
in his very earliest years, and he
should be helped to divide it-so much
for necessary things, SO much for
church, SO much for giving pleasure
to others, SO much for personal pleas
ure and SO much to be put away every
week in the bank. So the fun of
finding out what money will buy and
the fun of learning how money can
earn more money go hand in hand.
such a training will cultivate thrift
without cogett usness and il dRnnot
be started too early.

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR
THE FAIRIES AND THE SAD LADY

, Once upon time there were two
little girls who loved to play they
were fairies. They would skip around
the house looking for fairies work
and making sunshine wherever they
went.
Whenever mamma told about her
little fairies people would smile; that
is the pleasant people would smile,
and the ones who we're not so pleasant
would shrug their shoulders and say:
"Humph! Strange way to bring UP
children
Sometimes some little children
would come to play with Dreamer
and Worker; for those were their
fairy names, but whenever fairies
were talked about the other children
would say, ooh! we don't believe in
fairies" At first Dreamer and
Worker we're shocked to find that
there were children who didn't be-
lieve in fairies, but after a while they
got used to not talking about fairies
To the other children.
Mamma said these children did not

know about the wonderful things that
happened when fairies were around
How could Nursie leave the playroom
topsy-turvy and find it all spick and
span when she returned if fairies had
not been around? How could beauti
full bouquets Of wild-fowers appear in
the house unless fairies had placed
them there? How could Daddy's
newspaper always be at his place al
breakfast-time if fairies had not put
it there? And, oh, hundreds more
things.
Of course sometimes it was hard
to be a fairy; when Dreamer dropped
her doll on the pavement and broke
it in so many pieces she forgot she
was a fairy and cried like little
child, and when Worker cut her knee
badly on piece of glass, don't you
think even the fairies would have
cried?
Dreamer and Worker had beer
fairies for six years, when one day
mamma told them she was goins
away on a journey. She would moi
see her little girls for a long, Ions
time. You must not grieve fol
mamma, but be brave fairies she
told them. when I am gone, deal
friend of mammals will come to be
with you, and you must make hel
happy"
Not long after that she left for the
long journey, and the Sad Lady came
to take care of them The fairies
called her the Sad Lady when they
talked their fairy talk, for fairy foil
never tell when they have found out
secrets. 1t must be a secret that the
Sad Lady was sad, because she al
ways smiled and laughed and played
with them. 1t was when she did moi
know fairies were around that they
found how sad she was. The fairies
remembered what their mamma ha6
told them, and talked over what they
could do.
Flowers appeared in the Sad Lady's
room in most mysteriou. manner
A bright red apple which a little fairy
had denied herself was found on hel
desk. Magazines and books of all
kinds were brought from the library
to her room The fairies couldn't
read what they were about, but the
Sal Lady liked hooks
The Sad Lady was puzzled about
e q ~
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1916-10-21

all these things, and one day, hearing
footsteps approaching, hid In the
closet. Her surprise was great when
she saw Dreamer place a precious
sweetmeat on the table, The Sad
Lady remembered all the other sur
prises, and after talk with nursie
found out about the fairies.
One morning Dreamer and Worker
each found a package at the foot OF
her bed. Upon opening them, they
found two beautiful fairy dresses, one
pale pink, one pale blue. Large
gauzy wings unfolded as they held
the dresses up; dainty slippers and
stockings and beautiful waxen
wreath. The fairies were wild with
joy. How quickly they dressed
How they planned to do more work
like fairies.
The Sad Lady looked quite happy
when she saw their pleasure, and
wondered how she could help them
in their childish play.
Quite near was a large hospital
Would it not brighten the sick
people too have fairies visit them
In the spring, when the woods were
full of flowers, the Sad Lady and the
fairies gathered large baskets full OF
violets, spring beauty and blood-root
arranging them in dainty lunches.
Dressed in fairy dresses, with arms
laden with the flowers, Dreamer and
Worker visited the hospital. Down
each ward they went, and touching
the patients with their magic wand
left each One bouquet of flowers
How the suffering faces frightened as
they watched the happy fairies and
smelled the fresh flowers. What q
change in the dreary rooms they
made. Every one said these sprites
could not be children, surely they
were real fairies.
That night as Dreamer and Worker
were tucked into bed they decided il
was the happfest day they had eve1
had.
The Sad Lady thought it the hap
piest she had ever had, and the SICK
ones smiled during the long, tiresome
hours as they thought of the bright
est day they ever had in the hospital

WHY THE LILIES OF THE VALLEY
BEND THEIR HEADS,
written for The Catholic RulIetin.)

Lilies, beautiful white lilies like
soft drifts of newly fallen snow, bios
somed everywhere in the valleys that
led from Nazareth to Juda. They
lifted their heads high for they were
conscious of their beauty and of their
spotless robes. They whispered
proudly to each other that there was
nothing half so fair or pure upon
Gods earth as they. And as each
stem raised it's immaculate calyX, as
the priest raises the sacrificial
chalice, it scattered a fragrance like
a holy blessing. And growing always
longer and straighter, they communed
with themselves proudly in their low
centers over the wondrous perfume
that was hidden in them like prayer.
Higher still they raised their white
cups and boldly reached towards the
sun. And often their pride made
them very sad when the long grey
fingers of the dusk held the earth in
darkness, for they knew that until
the fading of the stars in the morning
their beauty would be lost. And yet,
all through the dark night, their
slight, fairy-green stalks held them
straight and high, and they .consoled
themselves by believing that when
the moon shone bright, the stars
would contemplate their beauty.
Suddenly one day, they were
startled by a white aurora-like splen-
dor. A tiny breeze as of some one
moving touched them, and they asked
each other in the words of prophecy,
who is she that cometh forth as
the morning rising, fair as the moon,
bright as the sun, terrible as an army
set in array?"
They looked up and beheld lovely
maiden rejecting like a mirror all the
virtues of God. 1t was Mary, the
Virgin. She had left her humble
home in Nazareth after her heavenly
conversation with 'the Angel of the
Lord" and was on her way to the
home of her cousin, Elizabeth. "And
Mary rising up in those days went
into the hill country with haste into
a city of Juda. And she entered into
the house of Zachary and saluted
Elizabeth"
AS she walked on her way among
the lilies, she was lovely beyond all
telling, lovelier than can ever paint
or pen describe, so lovely, indeed, in
her glorified beauty, as to have drawn
God Himself into her heart Look
ing down upon the fair. white lilies,
her gentle, modest glances reached
right down into the proud little heart
of each unblushing, self-satisfied
flower and shed over them a splendor
of purity and Iowliness. They looked
up at her, and 10, they recognized
the fairest, purest, humblest creature
upon Gods lovely earth They beheld
the Queen of all virtues Meekly,
each flower bowed it's head in adora-
ton, and since that day every lily of
the valley bends its head in silent
homage.
