a strong, fine Turkey, and all the Tur-
keys of the past year were certainly
a very fine set.

wings up the highest elm tree he could
find.
"'Gobble, Gobble. Gobble,' he called

$50 all the Turkeys followed Mr.
the tree, where they put their heads
under their wings and went sound,
sound asleep.
Morning came and Mr.. Turkey was
the first to wake up.
'Gobble, Gobble. Gobble,' said Mr.
Turkey. Wake upn The turkeys took
their heads from under their wings,
shook themselves a little and came
down from the tree.
Lets go a-roaming,' said Mr..
Turkey
Yes said the other Turkeys. we

Catholic Loyalty.
/ New York World.


In the pledge of loyalty to the Prcsi-
dent made by the archbishops of the
Catholic Church occur two expressions
of patriotic sentiment deserving of Spe-
cial attention. These are the para
graphs in which the archbishops, i'll
acknowledgment Of 1.-the gratitude we
have always felt for the protection OF
our spiritual liberty and the freedom Of
our Catholic institutions under the
flag prolfer their devotion in main
tanning 1.-the principles which have
been America : proudest boast, and
pledge themselves to
cooperate in every way possible
with our President and our nation
m government. to the end that the
great and holy cause OF liberty
may triumph and that our beloved
country may emerge from this hour
of test stronger and nobler than
ever.
These sentiments evidence an Ameri
canism OF the highest type. They arr
calculated to exert an immense intiu
ence over hundreds of thousands Of
alien residents who belong to the Cath
ollie Church but who have not been Pc
litically assimilated.
II is this aspect OF the pleig" of th'
/ Catholic hierarchy which constitute
it's most important public service
There has never been any question O
/ Catholic loyalty in the United States
| But the solemn affirmation of it at thi
time, in the circumstances. IS certain
to have an impressive effect where tina
effect is most to be desired.

In Justice to the Retreat.
Bloomington Banner.)


In the excitement of the closing days
Of the legislature the committee report
relative to the Brattleboro Retreat did
not get quite as much attention as II
ought. One point that The Banner
thinks the committee ducked was the
placing of the responsibility for the
conditions criticized. There is one
party clearly responsible for what
has zone amiSs there and that party IS
the state of Vermont When the state
started the new asylum at Waterbury
il began to starve the institution nj
Brattleboro, IN spite of the fact that
for 90 years it had thrown all its cner
oieS and resources into the service of
the state.
Vermont has treated the Brattlc
horo Retreat most unjustlv and the PEG
pie of the state should not be mis-
| led bv a report that tells OF things
| left ulfdene; but does not say who i
| was that shirked. People with friend:
/ at the Brattlehoro Retreat, however
NAV now feel assured that these pa
tients are safe and in good hands. TIL,
state has this year increased its pay
mcnts and arrangements are be
| ing completed to make the. improve
ments that have been held up by lac
| of money. Senator w. IL. Fairchild
chairman of the committee that invcS
tigatcd the Retreat, in a conversation
| with the editor of the Banner state
that he feels sure that families an
friends of patients at the Brattlebor
Retreat can feel assured now that the
are well fed and properly cared for.
