SIR THOMAS MORE.

Sir Thomas More succeeded Cardi-
nal Wolsey, as Lord High Chancellor,
in 1880, and filled the Office for three
years with scrupulous integrity. For
his conscientious scruples to take the
oath of supremacy in favor of that
brutal king, Henry VIII, he was be-
headed in 1886, at the age of fifty
five. Il
His beloved daughter Margaret,
knowing she would not again be adj
mitted within the precincts of the
tower, had paced the wharf for more
than an hour. When she at length
perceived him, she burst through the
billmen, and throwing herself on his
neck, murmured, in a broken voice,
20 my father! o my father!'
Where is thy fortitude, my best
jewell" said More, tenderly pressing
his lips to her cheek. Let this con-
sole thee, Margaret, that I suffer in
innocence, and by the will of God, to
whose blessed pleasure thou, my child,
must accommodate myself, and not
only be patient under thy loss, but
lead thy poor weak mother and thy
sisters to follow thy example. And
now retire; would not have thy best
feelings become the sceff and gibe of
a brutal guard.
His daughter prepared to obey; but
had not proceeded ten steps. when,

CUT THIS OUT FOR PRAYER
BOOK.

The prayer indulgenced by Pope
Plus TX in answer to petition of the
American Hierarchy assembled in the
Plenary Council of Baltimore is as
follows:
80 Almighty and Eternal God!
Who savest all and willest not that
any shall perish, look, we beseech
Thee, upon the souls that are led
astray by the deceits of the devil,
that, rejecting all errors, the hearts
of those who err may be converted,
and thus return to the unity of Thy
truth, through Christ our Lord.
Amen"
The condition of membership in the
League is the daily recital of this
prayer for which there is an indulg-
ence of 100 days each time; or the
"Our Father" the Hail Mary and
the "Glory be to the Father" for
those who do not know how to re-
cite the above prayer 1t would be
well to send names to the Apostolic
Mission House for National list.
Select some one for whose CONVEX
sion you'll pray regularly and supply
same with interesting Catholic litera-
ture.

DON'T RUSH YOUR PRAYERS.

Don't rush your prayers. Don't
shorten or omit them on the pretext
that duty calls you to some other
task. The highest of all duties
commands you to make ample pro-
vision for this daily communion with
God
There will always be distractions.
There will always be something to
be done, if you permit such things
There is no economy when there is
d question of useless conversations,
amusement or recreation. Hour after
hour is spent with our families,
friends and neighbors, but the time
spent with God, is, as a general rule,
exceedingly brief. In the morning
we are hurried. In the evening we
are fatigued The only one thing
that can keep us close to God, that
can keep alive the fear Of sin, the
one thing that can procure for us
the supernatural light whereby we
discern the true from the false in
spiritual matters, is hurried, slurred
over, and gotten through mechanical
Jy. Some morning, when we least
expect it, the sun rises on our last
day of life. The time is short, and
we make a hurried preparation. We
pray then as we never prayed before.
We pour our souls in regret for the
lost days and hours. We would give
a million worlds for another week,
another year, in which to make up for
lost time. Lost time! The time that
could be devoted to prayer and good
works! The time that has no impor
lance in our eyes while we are well
and strong, the time that is spent in
worldlineSs, in sin, in vain amuse-
ments, in the things that do not
count in everything but the one
thing useful and proftable-prayer
The world blinds us, the flesh draws
us away from God; the devil always
furnishes us with a preteXt, and we
go along through life, giving no
thought to the wasted hours, and
never thinking of economizing time
until there is question of spending
it in the things for which time was
made-prayer and the love and serv-
ice of God, which have their root
in frequent and fervent daily prayer

WHAT EVERY CATHOLIC WOMAN
OUGHT TO KNOW.

Every Catholic woman should know
the location of the hospitals in her
city, especially those under the care of
religious. If there are no Catholic
hospitals, she ought to know if those
in charge of the city hospitals permit
visiting. They generally are glad to
allow patients to receive whatever lit
tie comfort anyone is able to give.
The hospitals governed by board of
people outside the faith are sometimes
quite willing to allow Catholics to visit
the free wards. | think we lose some
of our own by our failure to recognize
how the kindness of anybody to sick
person is remembered. The Protes-
tant visitors come in, sit and talk,
bring little things, visit the family,
and often procure work for the sick
one after he gets well. If he isn't
very strong in his faith, he wouldn't
be human if he didn't remember that
his own kind let him alone when
he needed them most. 1t is not nee
essary to spend much money. Some
times you couldn't, if you had it, on
account of the regulations about food,
etc. But anybody can falkland any
body can listen, at least one day a
week, for an hour.
The Catholic institutions for the
care of children ought to have some
attention. How many socialists even
know where they are? Some children
have a parent, aunt, uncle, or other
relative to come on visiting days.
Hundreds haven't soul to remember
they are alive. One Sunday month
isn't too much to make little heart
happy.

control, she turned back, and falling
on his neck, kissed him again and
again. Sir Thomas did not speak;
but notwithstanding his efforts at
firmness, tears fell rapidly from his
eyes; neither was it until his adopted
daughter, Margaret Clement, had loos-
ened her arms by force, she could be
separated from her father.

John Collins and Buck Weaver.
GandiI has experience, he knows
how the position should be played,
but he lacks the agility necessary to
carry out his ideas. In 1916 Gandil
fielded 1896 and hit for .259. Ness
felded 979 and hit 267.
There is a wide markin on defense
in favor of GandiL But remember
that Chick does not get close to
many chances that a faster man
might touch. He will not make so
many errors for that reason. Ness,
with all his slOwness, should be a
bit faster on his pins than Gandil.
And MCMulIin is faster than either
Some hope is placed in JOurdan,
the Western league rookie. But there
is a ray of sunshine in the tenden-
cy to make a first baseman of Fred
McMullin. We have been talking
that for several months, first ad-
vancing the idea last summer when
the first base problem was wreck

club. The bunch was ridiculed, but

McMuIIin is a hitter and a natural
ballplayer. He has ability to make
good at any inf1eld position. He has
gray matter and would add one
more thinking role to the club. Men
with brains are not over plentiful
and one made can always be used.
But if this chance is not to be
taken with McMullin, $500 should
not stand in the way of signing Ness.

CHICK GANDIL A WHITE SOCK

Gandf has been having trouble with
his legs for two or three years, which
is the reason Washington disposed of
him. In Cleveland he did some good
hitting for few months, but was
woefulIy slow, both in his move
ments around first base and his time
between the bases.
Jack Ness, branded by some en-
thusiasts last season the best first
baseman in the American league, is
holding out and says he will not take
a cut in salary from the White SOx.
Jack wasn't the best first baseman
in the league by several parasangs,
but he was a fair workman and the
best the SOx had He was a hero
