WORDS LOST THEIR FORCE
Schwab Should Have Spoken into
Photograph, He Is Told, When
Discussing His Speech.

A banker who was told that Charles
M. Schwab, the president of the Beth
lehem Steel works. was one of the
most forceful speakers ever heard at a
banquet table. said he believed IL, aud
then told this story:
About the time that Schwab was
buying Bethlehem steel and had made
arrangements with Pliny Fisk Of New
York, to handle the bonds, he went
over to New York, and, of course, was
entertained at a dinner. There ha
made one of his most forceful utter
ances. Mr. Fisk was moved to such
an extent that he said to Mr.. Schwab
THAT will sell the bonds. Only, yoa
should write it ont for me when you
return, so l shall have an accurate
statement"
Mr.. Schwab wrote out his remarks
as soon as he got back to his home and
sent them to Mr. Fisk.
Mr.. Fisk saw him soon afterward.
and said: why didn't you write me
what you said?"
II did" responded the steel master.
II wrote the exact words"
"Well," answered Mr.. Fisk, much
you should have spoken
them into photograph"

Absently into the desk blotter. sand

with a sudden change OF front: 'Tm

have said, Miss Verda can kill me off
If she chooses to; but she won't choose
to. Now let's get to work. It's pretty
late to rodt a justice of the peace
out of bed to issue a warrant for us,
but wen do it. Then wen go after
Lanterby and make him turn states
evidence. Come on; let's get busy"
But Starbuck, reaching softly for a
chair-righting handhold upon Smiths
desk, made no reply. Instead he
snapped his 1.-THE body out of the chair
and launched it in a sudden tiger
spring at the door. To Smiths aston
ishment, the door, which should have
been latched, came in at Starbuck's
wrenching jerk of the knob, bringing
with it, hatless, and with the breath
startled out of him, the new stenogra-
pher, Shaw.
There's your states evidence" said
Starbuck grimly, pushing the half
dazed door listener into a chair. "Just
nut the auger a couple of inches into
this fellow and see what you can find"
Richard Shaw had an exceedingly
bad quarter of an hour when Smith
and Starbuck applied the thumbscrews
to force a confession out of him. New
Sttheless, knowing the dangerous
ground upon which he stood, he evaded
and shufl1ed and prevaricated under
the charges and questionings until it
became apparent that nothing short of
bribery or physical torture would get
the truth out of him. Smith was not
willing to offer the bride, and since
the literal thumbScrews were out of
the question, Shaw was locked into
one of the vacant rooms across the
corridor until his captors could deter
mine what was to be done with him.
''That is one time when I fired and
missed the whole side of the barn"
Starbuck admitted, when Shaw had been
remanded to the makeshift cell across
the hall. 81 know that fellow is on
Stanton's pay roll and it's reasonably
certain that he got his job with you so
that he could keep cases on you. But
we can't prove anything that we say,
so long as he refuses to talk
"No," Smith agreed. 81 can dis
charge him, and that's about all that
can be done with him."
"He is pretty smooth article" said
Starbuck reflectively. "He used to be
a clerk in Maxwells railroad Office,
and he was mixed up in some kind of
crookedness, don't remember just
what"
Smith caught quickly at the sugges-
Gion.
"Wait a minute, Billy" he broke in;
and then: "There's no doubt in your
mind that he's a spy?"
Sure he is" was the prompt re-
3oinder.
Il was just thinking-he has heard
what was said here tonight-which is
enough to give Stanton pretty good
chance to outfgure our outfit again"

"In which case II would be little

COWS NOT MIXED PROPERLY
Not Much Gained by Feeding Unless

There is not much TO be gained by
feeding a cow unless you are deter
mined to get all the milk and butterfat
the feed makes. You cannot get all
the milk and bUtterfat the feed makes
unless you milk the COW right. A large
percentage of cows are not MIXED
right, so a large loss Of milk and a
larger loss Of butterfat result II is
as important that cows be well MIXED
as it is that they be well fed.

At all events, when Smith had helped
her out of the car at the hotel entrance
and had seen her as far as the eleva-
tor, she thanked him half absently and
took his excuse, that he must return
the runabout to Maxwell's garage, with
out laying any further commands upon
him.
Just as he was turning away, bell
boy came across from the clerks desk
with a telegram for Miss Richlander.
Smith had no excuse for lingering, but
with the air thick with threats he made
the tipping of the boy answer for
momentary stop-gap. Miss Verda tore
the envelope open and read the inclo-
sure with "A fne-lined little frown COM
ing and going between her eyes.
"It's from Tucker Jibbey," she said,
glancing up at Smith. Someone has
told him where we are, and he is fol-
lowing us. He says he'll be here on
the evening train. VIII you meet him
and tell him I've gone to bed?"
AT the mention OF Jibbey, the money
spoiled son of the man who stood next
to Josiah Richlander in the credit rat
ingS, and Lawrenceville's best imita-
ton of q flaneur, Smiths first emotion
was one of relief at the thought that
Jibbey would at least divide time with
him in the entertainment Of the bored
beauty; then he remembered that Jib
hey had once considered him a rival,
and that the sham FOUNDERS" pres
ence in Brewster would constitute
menace more threatening than all the
others put together.

The ingredients of the ration for
ihe dry cow should not be so very

In order to cut down on the fat-pro-

used in place of corn. Bran and oats
are both rich in mineral matter which

SCHOLARSHIP FOR NUNS
INTEREST TAKEN IN PROVIDING
SAME THROUGH SISTERS
COLLEGE LEAGUE.

One of the chief objects of the Sis
ters' College League Of the Catholic
University, Washington, D. c., is to
create an annual source of revenue
sufficient to enable the University to
give free board and free tuition to the
Sisters attending the college. At pres
ent it costs community $40 month
to send Sister to the college. Many
Superiors are anxious to find a way
Of obtaining a free scholarship. 1t
has been decided that a Sister who,
either by herself or through others,
secures 1000 members for the league
will receive a scholarship emitting
her to free board, room and tuition.
Every teaching Sister has a number
Of friends who will be willing to help
in this work If 100 persons secured
ten members each, the scholarship
would be won. Alumnae associations
could take up this work.
Since the free scholarship an
nouncement was made the National
Federation of the Alumnae of the Sis
tiers of Charity, B. v. M, has started
d campaign to secure four scholar
ships; a Sister Of Charity, a Sister Of
st. Francis, and Benedictine Sister
are meeting with success in securing
the necessary number of league men,

Germany now has Catholic chan
cellor in the person of Count George
Won Hertling, the Bavarian prime
minister, who has succeeded Mich
aelis.
Count Won Hertling, whom Her
der's Konversations-Lexic lists as
s'Catholic philosopher and politician, :
was born in Darmstadt, in the Grand
Duchy of Hesse, in 1843. In 1882,
he became Professor at the Univer-
sity of Bonn, and in 1892 Professor
at Munich. After 1875, he served con-
tinually, with a number of interrupt
tons, as a representative in the Ger
man Reichstag, becoming one Of the
leaders of the Catholic Center party.
He also was appointed as life mem
Der of the Reichsrat, the upper cham
Der Of the Bavarian Landtag. Several
years ago, he became Premier of the
Kingdom of Bavaria. 60
Germany's New Chancellor is a
Catholic scholar of note. He is a
member of the Bavarian Academy of
Science, one of the founders and for
mer presidents of the Catholic Cor
res-Gesellschaft, and also of the So
ciety for Christian Art.
As a philosopher he is a dauntless
champion of the Christian philosophy
of life. With Baeumker he is the pro-
Queer of the work contributions to
the History of Philosophy of the Mid
die Ages Other well-known works
of which he is the author are the fol-
lowing: Matter and Forrn,p (187D;
Limits of the Mechanical Explana-
ton of Nature (1875); "Albertus
Magnus," CISCO; e says and
Speeches, 1854; John Locke and
the School of Cambridge" (1S92);
Natural Law and Social Political
Economy" 1888; "Descartes' Re-
iation to Scholastic Philosophy" G.
vols. 1897-99); THE Principle of Ca
tholicisfn and Science" (vols. IA,
1899; Augustine, (1902); etc.
Statements in the dispatches to the
effect that Count Won Hertling comes
from "a. State even more feudalistic
and autocratic than Prussia ITSELF"
are born of ignorance of the political
constitution of Bavaria, whose inhabi-
tants, like all south Germans, are a
liberty-loVing people. Catholic Ba-
varia grants Protestants by far more
liberty than Catholics enjoy in the
Protestant kingdoms of Prussia and
Saxony. Won Hertling is. likewise not
a .Junker'' or Pan-German, and is
not opposed to parliamentary reform
and the extension of the franchise.
AS one of the leaders of the Center
party, whose policies he has helped
to shape, his ideals, are identical with
those of that great commoners' party,
which has done so much for social
legislation and parliamentary reform.

$100 bond or over, and that he would
sing one of his favorite songs for each
buyer of a $4,000 bond or over. The
tenor opened the sale, himself by TAX

YOUNG PEOPLE THEN and NOW

Talk IN cnurcn. Inc family filled the
family. pew and the boys and girls
were ranged Systematically between
their parents, with the purpose of
keeping giddy child in view of the
parental eye or within reach of a
parental hand The parents had paid
with the sweat of their brow for the
inestimable privilege of hearing Mass,
and they impressed on their children
deep regard for the Holy Sacrifice.
Ii Father W wanted boy to
drive him to mission, he had but to
name him or if a team was needed
it would be ready for the priest, even
if one neighbor had to loan the wagon,
another the horse and third the har-
ness.
What wonder that the parish pros
pered, or that the boys and girls grew
into sterling manhood and woman
hood!
And yet from that good stock came
many of the whipper-snapper who
have no time for the priests plans.
Who is to blame? A transformation
has taken place somewhere along the
line.
observation-disclosures?
Over-indulgence? Perhaps. So much
has been done for the whipper-snapper
that he has begun to oyervalue him
self. The parish provides not merely
the three RS, but elocution, singing,
gymnastics, etc.
The pupil with natural gifts is de-
veloped - possibly over-developed -
and when the school has made him.
he gets the idea that he is making the
school. He must get outside and sign
up for things more classy" than par
ish affairs.
The youth whose grandfather spad-
ed the ground for the church, begins
to have mo time" for Father WIS
successor and his curates-for there
are now several priests working in the
pioneers territory. He attends the
alumni banquet, to lend eclat to the
occasion, but he lis too much en-
gagged" to teach in Sunday school, be-
long to the Conference or sing in the
choir; collections bore him-'a fellow
with club fees, you know"-especiall
1t there is connection with secular
college to be maintained.
No Time for Home.
But the pastor is not the only one
with a complaint. Parents, too, pro-
test that their children have mo time
for their homes, mo time' to be COM
panions for father or mother, or teach
ers to the younger children.
II sit alone night after night" said
mother of eight children. II used
to think that when the children were
grown up, | would have great com
fort with them, and of course / have,
for they are all good, but don't have
much of their company
Again, who is to blame? Some
where in the course of training good
material has been unwisely moulded,
and the discipline of work and sacri.
flee is lacking. Educational opportu-
mites are being lavished on youth, and
the product is not wholly satisfactory
There is too much devotion to futile
things, too little zeal for home and
Church. Witness that discouraged
pastor.

MANY POINTS OF DIFFERENCE
NOTED BETWEEN YOUTH OF
TODAY AND THEIR HARDY AN
& cEsToRs.

1T is quite comical how all the peo-
pie have engagements" said a pastor
recently. They are signed up, even
the youngsters, for weeks ahead. The
President of the United States isn't
nearly SO much engaged as some of
those little whippersnappers of Is and
20 Ifathere is. something to be done
for the Church they can't possibly do
Iit-they are too much engaged"
The Queens Work, which quotes the
above comment, adds its own, as fol-
lows: f: s
It's a bit comical, isn't it? All
this rush after amusement with some
thing every night is a childish game
after all. Isn't it pitiful and distress
ing to see grown up men and women
acting as though they were not grown
up at all?'
1t is indeed comical, pitiful and dis
tressing, remarks the editor of the
Sacred Heart Review. Who is to
blame? Those whipper-snappers of
whom their pastor complains have
grown up probably under his care and
that of the good Sisters of the parish
school. No one could accuse either
pastor or teachers of being responsible
for the detached attitude of the young
people.
81 What of the Home?
Then what of the home? If you
look up the parish history you will
find that in pioneer days the whipper-
snappers' grandfathers gave the priest
a days work or a weeks labor in
clearing the ground for the church,
digging the cellar and raising the
frame; also they paid dues according
to their means, and beyond their
means not infrequently; no sacrifice
was too great to have a church and a
priest established among them; the
housewives contributed to the pastor S
table from their family stores; the
girls took care of the church and the
altar furnishings, and with their
brothers sang in the choir, and did
anything else they were asked to do
to help along.
The boy who served at the altar
was regarded with respect in his com.
munity; other boys looked up to him,
and forward to time when they, too,
would be asked to serve the priest.
Without Parish Schools.
A man in certain parish recalls
with pride that his mother Numbered
the surplices for the special occasions
for many a year and that he had the
honor of carrying the linen to Father
W, who invariably sent his
blessing back to the pious woman and
all her household.
There were no parish schools in
those early days, SO the boys and girls
depended entirely on the priest and
their parents for instruction Before
they could read the primer they could
answer questions in the Catechism;
and woe betide the careless wight who
| couldn't tell what the sermon on Sun
day was about.
