the old maybe. What enthusiasm!
What excitement! Every one was
eager, busy, joyous. Children with
baskets were already plundering the
gardens. In the square were the
young girls, making nosegays and
weaving. garlands. The lads came,
bringing from the fields armfuls of
green boughs or fragrant grasses.
The carpenter was mailing together
planks for the Reposoir, and the good
Sisters covered them with red drap-
cry, muslin and gliding.

been said, gay banners, streamers and
orifammes led the way; then came

KING GRIFFITH AND HIS REALM
UNKNOWN TO ST. LOUIS
POST-oFFICE.

Last week a package was presented
ct the st. Louis post Office by rep
resentatiye of the Sodality of st. Peter
Clayer. The package contained a
token of appreciation from an Ameri-
can priest admirer of the black ruler
and bore the address,: His Majesty,
Nathaniel Griffith, King of the Basu-
tos, Basutoland, South Africa. Had
the address read to his satanic
majesty, it couldn't have caused more
wonderment Basutoland! King Grit
fifth! The clerks we're family aware
of there being negro chieftains in
Africa; but such thing as black
king within reach of the International
Postal Union had never entered their
minds. One asked the other if he
knew anything about Basutoland.
But it was like inquiring for a section
of the country charted by Dante, until
finally one of them went to his guide
and found that Uncle Sam contracts
to deliver missives to Basutoland. "A
registration receipt was given with the
assurance that return slip would
very likely be forthcoming within a
couple of months.
Most Catholics will be about as
much mystified at the mention of
King Griffith and Basutoland as the
post Office clerks were. Yet Basuto-
land and its sterling ruler are the
glory of the present day Church down
on the other side of the earth. The
Basntos were easily a semi-civilized

the main arch of the church. The
new arrivals asked a timid question
do you still think, Dame Swallow,
that the good Lord does not want to
curse us?"
Instead of answering, she pushed
them toward the broken window gap.
They beheld a chapel, full of white
ness and light. On her altar, amid
sheaves of roses, a Madonna was
smiling. Blue smoke went up from
the censor, a few old women were
saying the Rosary and many children
singing. The swallow explained in a
low voice, This is the month of
Mary"
''And the procession?" inquired the
birds. ''The procession you promised

the swallow. Have confidence in

June arrived; when, according to
Dame Maybe, all the young broods
were to die. Wild with fright, the
mother-birds whispered their fears to
one another in the meadows and
among the yellowing fields, which at
dawn echoed the songs of the reapers.
IF it could but stay fair until ST.
Johns day. said the gray partridge.
''St. Johns day in summer, when my
little ones will break their shells!"
Dame Maybe gave a sneering
laugh. while you are about it, why
not ask for fair weather until ST.

cartridges become full-grown Ones

my feathers bristled with horror.
The vengeance of God is at hand
Now, one Sunday morning, when
the sun had risen radiantly above
the transparent mists that chung to
the river, the swallow appeared above
the dew-impearled meadow She was
seen describing thousand whirling
circles in the air, mounting, swoop-i

THE FRANclSCANS AND THE
LEPERS.

Ever initiating his Divine Master,
the first friend of the lepers, st. Fran
els yearned especially over this class
of sufferers. Indeed his conversion is
to some extent connected with the
love he bore them.
The Franciscan Missionary Sisters
of Mary are doing splendid work
among the lepers, especially in the
Far East. These Jealous nuns have
leper houses in Mandalay and Ran
COON, Burmah, also at Hitoyoshi,
Japan, and at Mendoza, Island of Cey-
Ion. At Misunderstanding, Madagascar
their establishment housed over 800
lepers. But in 1906, the French Gov
eminent, secularized the institution.
The poor unfortunates in vain de-
plored the expulsion of their bene-
Actresses, who had turned this house
of sorrow into a paradise for them.
At the leper house of Mandalay,
founded in 1897, the Franciscan Mis-
sionaries of Mary accommodate about
300 cases, and attend besides to about
5000 outside patients a year. In
Mandalay the leper house counts 440
inmates.
1t is to be noted that among the
Franciscan Missionaries of Mary,
there are many vacations from the
higher ranks of society, who abandon
their social position in order to serve,
for the love of Jesus Christ, the low
Hest OF His creatures, who are afflict-
ed with the most disgusting and horri-
flying disease.

The Reverend Richard Fl. Tierney,
S. j., editor of America" widely
known as a leader in Catholic Thought,
gave an inspiring address in which
he emphasized the need of loyal adj
herence to Christian ideals as the
remedy for present day evils. AS at
tested by his own words, Father Tier
ney caught inspiration from the at
mosphere of the College as well as
from the earnest enthusiasm of the
young women to aid in making an ex-
ceptionally eloquent appeal to the stu
dents and to the audience at large for
a strong heroic womanhood.
The degrees were conferred by the
Right Reverend Bishop Hebron. AT
ter the comforting of the degrees the
Bishop, in a brief peroration, COM
mented on the splendid work of the
College in establishing Scholarships
in the ecclesiastical provinces of The
United States as well as in other
countries.
The Commencement Exercises of
the Conservatory of Saint Cecilia
took place the afternoon of June 4.
The oratorio Elijah" (Mendelssohn),
rendered by the Conservatory Clubs,
was the central feature of the pro-
gram and constituted a fitting close
to the Conservatory year. Mr.. Donald
Robertson, Dramatic Art critic of Chi
cago, was the speaker for the occa-
sion. In his own convincing way he
brought home to the minds of the au-
dience the high esthetic, intellectual,
and moral aspects of the Arts of Music
and Drama as well as the realization
of their far-reaching influence on the
destinies of the individual and the ma
ton.
Diplomas for courses in Piano, Nor
NAL Music and Normal Art were pre-
sented by the Right Reverend Bishop
Hebron.
Wabasha: The semi-annual meet
ing of st. Josephs Society was held
Sunday afternoon, June 8, at one

Rochester: On Memorial Day, May
80, the elocution team of Hebron High
School met in a spirited declamatory

was for the benefit of the Red Cross
and was under the patronage of many
of the prominent women of Rochester.

Just to be good, to keep life pure
from degrading elements, to make it
constantly helpful in little ways to
those who are touched by it, to keep
ones spirit always sweet, and avoid
all manner of petty anger and ir-
ritability-that is an ideal as noble as
it is difficult.

The judges were instructed to deter
mine two things: the best elocutionist
of the two teams, and also the team
receiving the highest number of
points in the aggregate. Hebron
High School won on the former,
Cretin, on the latter. Francis Kelly,
of Hebron, took first place and the
gold medal, receiving 1875 points out
of possible 49, He recited THE
Burgomaster's Death" Walter Vii
laume, of Cretin, took second place.
He received 127 points. Cretin High
School had a very slight edge on

Der of points received,-Cretin, 571;
