Because a doctor allowed a blind, deaf, dumb, mishspen infant to die instead of performing an operation which might have saved it's life al- thought it would have been perma- nently an invalid and defective, the doctor was not only indicted, but q chorus of hypocritical rant agains, this outrage filled the capitalist pa- pers.
 The best thing that has been written on the subject comes from the pen of Kathleen Norris which is below reprinted from an exchange:

i preparationist plans may seem the acme of foolishness, but no one can charge him with hope of gain as the ultimate motive.
 Somehow we must admire the man that has definite ideas and de- finite principles unmixed with any hope of gain and purgues them de- spite every power that exists. Henry Ford appears to be such a man. He has apparently discarded the driving incentive of modern capitalism, Don Quixote like to bear lance against the preparationists windmills that are rolling their arms in terror over the continent.
 Not all the absurdity of action is of Ford. Indeed no. At least mu- nitionists have won wonderful con verts within the past few months. And it is singular to hear those loudest in berating Prussian mill tarism, foaming at the mouth in mad urgings to arm and arm anG arm.
 Besides these Ford is cool, col lected and sensible, and only the lack of humor inherent in so many ardent partizans of certain policies, will account for the fact that these munitionist tools take themselves so seriously.
 We are under no illusion concern ing preparedness. We know it is go ing to be adopted. We know further more that it will provoke consider able flag waving and hqrrahing in doing so. We believe that next election in. the United States will in many respects be remarkable, for politicians will deliberately and in cold blood make terrorism an issue and endeavor to obtain votes from an excited people on the score of be- ing prepared to meet an unname- able foe.
 ANdllOuo udNC oAC as the breath of their life. They must have them or they are destin- ed to decay and degeneracy. Those are the principles which make na- tions great, honored and respected, They are the principles which are worth fighting for and dying for.
 And you cannot blame the million Fords in the United States if they insist that there must be something more worth fighting for and dying for than the mere accumulation Of wealth or the fostering of the mu- milton industry.
 You cannot blame the Fordites il they invite some explanation as to what principle of democracy causes the United States to quake with dread of it's own unpreparedness, and to question whether indeed it is to uphold any principle of govern ment, any ideal of democracy, any life-giving sentiment that they are asked to prepare for.
 They are reasonable enough surely in asking who and what are they that threaten, and who and what are they who are in danger

THE UNDEFECTIVES.

In the world there has died a baby:
 eager to part with breath, He has slipt from the worlds hot
 noises back to the cool of death. Sightless and dumb ana unhearin.,, he is done with his days of pain And an eager army has risen, aghast
 at a baby slain Parents, clergymcn, doctors-public
 debate runs wild Among hundreds of men and women
 who know the love of child. And their right to dispute his sen
 tence which one of us will gain
 say?
 But what of the other baby who will
 die of neglect today? Not defective baby, shut in world
 of his own,
 But a conscious child, who is hung
 ry, or sleepy, or cold, or alone. A whole, sweet, confident baby-a
 baby with eyes and ears, Who clings like little soldier to
 the scanty hope of the years. Until, in the cruel summer, or the
 winters cold, he goes, A gallant baby outnumbered by a
 hundred subtle foes! Foes in the milk we give him, foes
 in dirt and disease, Dangers of street and gutter, and
 greater danger than these. Born of a social system that counts
 the rent and the wage, And keeps the heart of the baby
 shut up like a beast in cage. 
 THIS a crime if you wilk Or, better. go find a baby-perhaps
 one is living still Who will not be here tomorrow,
 whose battle is nearly done; Who has lost the unequal struggle
 for comfort and food and sun. Bring back his tiny conviction that the world is kind and right, And that hunger and want and fever are only dreams in the night. And when he is strong and happy, with his own little place on earth, Then form your organization to save the deficient at birth.

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. NICHOLAS. or BARI.

st. Nicholas, one of the greatest
wonder.workers of the early Church,,
and the patron Saint of Russia, was
born towards the end of the third
century. The singular innocence of
his youth attracted the notice of his,
uncle, and Archbishop of Myra in
Lycia, who ordained him priest, and
appointed him abbot Of a monastery.
The desire to hide himself in some
distant desert led him to sail for
the Holy Land; but God overruIed his
purpose, and, on his return to- Myra,
he found himself elected to the then
vacant See. He guarded his flock
with Toying zeal, and was much per-
secuted by the Arian heretics.
Throughout his life he retained the
bright and guileless manners of his
early years, and showed himself the
special protector of the innocent and
the wronged. He once saved three
officers unjustly sentenced to death,
who invoked him in prayer, by appear
ing before the Emperor at CONSTANT
nople without leaving his own city of
Myra. He died A. d. 342. During the
Mahometan invasion in 1887 his relics
were transferred to Bari in Italy, and
there, after fifteen centuries, "the
mamma of st. Nicholas still flows from
his sacred bones, and heals all kinds
of sick. In Catholic days the feast
of the Saint, as the special patron of
youth, was kept with great pomp in
England by the boys of Sarum School
and of Elton College.
Nicholas once heard that a person
who had fallen into poverty intended
to abandon his three daughters to a
life of sin. Determined, if possible,
to save their innocence, the Saint
went out by night, and, taking with
him bag of gold, flung it into the
window of the sleeping father and hur-
ried off. He, on awakening, deemed
the gift a godsend, aud with it dover
ed his eldest child. The Saint, over
joyed at his success, made like Ven.
ture for the second daughter; but the
third time, as he stole. away, the
father, who was watching, overlook
him and kissed his feet, saying,
Nicholas, why dost thou conceal thy
self from me? Thou art my helper,
and he who has delivered my soul
and my daughters from hell"

The author of the following grandly
tributary lines is Charles Edward
Stowe, Congregational clergyman
son of Harriet Beecher Stowe and
nephew of Henry Ward Beecher:
As rises Teneriffe above A
The restless oceans moan,
So looms above eart1l's chance and

The ancient Church Of Rome.
Majestic 'gainst the sunset sky
The Titan mountain stands,
Browning while ocean-giants die
Upon the foaming sands. !,
So bold against the lurid past,
Yet stands the Church of Rome.
Unchanged when all is changing fast
The storm-tossed pilgrims home.
Overwhelmed by the barbarian hosts
The Eternal City fell,
But laid on her rude conQuerers
The magic of her spell
Thus facing countless future years,
And ages yet unborn,
Rome rises Ger all haunting fears,
And breads no coming storm

excellent substitute has been sug.
gested-a series of tasteful folding
cards, which are intended to take
the place of flowers and letters of
coincidence. The first page is graced
by cross and crown. Appropriate

have place in the second and fourth
pages. The special feature of these
mortuary cards, however, will be best
understood from a transcript of the
third page, which bears the following

ONLY ONE O'CONNELL.

The city of Liverpool, Protest
ant though it be, says the Stand
ard and Times, has a statute of
O'Connell depicting him in the
act of striking the letters off a
negro slave and bidding him arise
and go forth a freeman. This is
historically truc-for the LIBERIA
tor of Ireland was no less a Lib
orator of the enslaved races than
was Wilberforcc. He hated slav-
cry and he loved not Shareholders.
When the city of New Orleans
sent over a donation of thous-
and pounds toward the Repeal
fund, O'Connell directed that it
be returned to the donors because
it was largely the product of ell
forced labor, and that was abhor-
rent to the principle of Irish free
dom, in O'Connell's view.

CHRISTMAS NIGHT.

Picture Christmas night in Ire
land; the old turf fire is cracking
on the hearth, and around it the
remnant of the family are gath
cred. Christmas candles are
cleaning in every window, and
over hill and vale the all-pervad-
ing peace, begotten of a simple
and unquestioning resignation to
the Divine will presides. The
bright-faced, rosy little children
are gathered around the father
and the mother. 1t is rosary time,
and, oh, that Christmas rosary in
ireland! The Celtic imagination,
yelled i'll the white robes of in
nate piety, follow the star that
rests above the manger wherein
the God lncarnatc is born. There
is a mysterious JOY mingled with
intense pathos in this Irish Christ
mas rosary.
Far beyond the Atlantic's surg
ing foam, away meath the twin
king Southern Cross; or there
amidst the snow-cappcd peaks OF
the Land OF the Midnight Sur"
lighted by the splendid hucs of
the aurora borcalis, are scattered
the brave sons and fair daughters
OF many an Irish mother this
Christmas night. AS that kindly,
simple mother kncels to pray, it is
no wonder that every maternal
instinct is awakened. In fancy
she can hear the responses of her
wandering boy to the Hail
Mary as it asccnds to the Queen
OF Heaven, no matter in what
land he may reside. And with
the laughter Of the gentle zephyr
of the Christmas dawn is borne
to her ears the accents of that be-
loved daughter whose footsteps
have not echoed on the family
threshold for many a year.
Scattered. oh. mothcrland, are
thy brave SONS and virtuous
daughters, in every cline: driven
forth from smiling plains and
fields OF golden gram wncrcon the

fusion seemed to bestow it's choic-

of the "Old Land" for the chill
dren who are gone; lonSingly
they await the return of their
loved ones. but often, very often,
they wait in vain, and sink into
