When science was nowhere seen

Gee! No one was sick on em ere days

And bacon an ham an chicken too
Fried to a turn was gettin' you.
Turn it down for the casserole?

ST. AGN ES.

Agnes, whom we remember on Jan
uary q, was a young Roman school
girl, who was very rich and very beau
tiful. The son of the heather gov
ernor of Rome fell in love with her,
but she would not marry him because
she had given her whole life to Jesus
Christ.
The governor was very angry with
her for refusing to marry his son,
and when he found that she was a
Christian he ordered her to offer in
cense to the heather gods. Agnes

pile of lighted faggots, but the faggots
only formed a rainbow arch over her
At last she was beheaded and the
Christians buried her in the Cata-
combs.
Eight days afterward, while her ia
Their and mother were praying by her
grave, they saw a beautiful vision of
Agnes, dressed in glorious clothes,
and leading a snow-white lamb. Years

stantine, the first Christian emperor,
built a church over the place where
she was buried. In this church the
Pope blesses on the 21st of January,
every year, the lambs from whose
wool the special vestment worn by
the archbishops is woven. Agnes,
typifying as she does the innocence
and purity of maidenhood, is one of
the most honored girl saints, and
churches are often named for her.

"5EDLAM."

BedIam is another example of the
English fashion of telescoping words
and comes from Bethlehem. The pri.
DRY of st. Mary of Bethlehem in Lon,
don was converted into a hospital for
the insane in 1902 and in the course
of time the name was shortened to
Bedlam, a word that came to be a
synonym for madhouse. To open the
door and let the inmates escape would
be "Bedlam let loose" and frequently
the phrase is used to describe intoler-
able clatter and racket.

Gordius, King of Phrygia, had con-
secrated wagon to Jupiter, the beam
and yoke of which were tied together
with knot so intricate that no one
could unite it. An oracle had fore
told that he who would undo the knot
would rule over entire Asia. Alexan-
der the Great came upon the knot,
and, drawing his sword, cut it with
one thrust. Metaphorically the term
is now used to express difficulty or
an obstruction.

CLOCK HAS $4,000 PIECES.

At Beauvais Cathedral there is a
clock which is composed of $4,000 sep
arate pieces, having So dial plates.
This clock gives the time in the big
capitals of the world, as we'll as the
local hour, the day of the week and
month, the rising and setting of the
sun, the phases of the moon and tides,
as well as considerable other infor-
nation.

BIRDS NESTS FOR SOUP.

The birds nests from which the far
famed Chinese soup is made are built
by species of swallow that abounds
on the coasts of Java, Ceylon and
Borneo, and consists of gelatinous
substance obtained from marine
plants. The nests are boiled either in
chicken broth or in milk of almonds,
and the result very much resembles
vermicelli soup, except that it is far
more costly.

WHAT is A PILLAR DOLLAR?

1t was a silver coin of Spain, with
large pillars on one side, coined at
very early day for circulation in Mex
leo and other Spanish colonies. 1t
circulated freely in the United States
for many years and was known as the
Spanish or Mexican dollar. 1t was an
honest silver dollar, full weight and
handsomely engraved.

REPORTERS, AMUSING MISTAKES.


Errors of the press often begin with
errors of reporters who have mis-
understood spoken words. The rule
of follow copy compels the compositor
to repeat the exact words written by
the reporter, and many ludicrous blum
ders are the result of obedience to
this rule,
A speaker made this statement:
In these days the clergymen are ex-
pected to have the wisdom and learn
ing of Jeremy Taylor"
But the reporter wrote and the COM
positor repeated, g" : the wisdom
and learning of a journeyman tailor"
Another speaker quoted these lines:
20, come, thou goddess fair and
free
In heaven yclept Euphrosyne."
They were printed as follows:
10 come, thou goddess fair and free
In heaven she crept. and froze her
knee
An orator quoted this line from
Tennysotl,s ''Locksley Hail.:
.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1918-05-18

Better fifty years of Europe than a
cycle of Cathay.'
But the quotation was written and
printed: Better fifty years of Eu-
rope than a circus in Bombay"
One of the worst perversions of a
'hackneyed quotation Incorrectly
given by the speaker) is this, which
seems to be the joint work of the
reporter and printer:
Anxious Plato, anxious Socrates, sed
major veritas,''
81 may cuss Plato, l may cuss Socra-
ties, said Major Veritas."

THE BOY OF NAZARETH.
% You were once a little boy,
Jesus of Nazareth;
We love to hear the stories true
About Your life and death.
We know that You were never cross.
Or selfish at Your play;
But always kind and pure and good,
AS we should be today.
Dear Lord, we'll try, yes, more and
more,
To grow each day like You;
And never, never make You sad,
BY anything we do.

To be our little Brother,

And to Your holy Mother.

think Will be ended when a few
more Yanks arrive across the

/ am in camp with the Illinois
boys, which are mostly strangers
to me except one Taylor county
boy, Everett Willis of Irene, Ky.
Some times l have the blues a
little. When I do l just look
back at the world and smile and
the world will smile with you, so
that is the best remedy for the
blues. Well l will ring off. If
this escapes the waste basket, !

With the American Army on

e a. n.y. (By the Associated

forces on the main battle front
continued yesterday the process
of Strengthening out the line and
demolishing barbed wire entang-
lements which the Germans have
placed through the hills, forests
and open places. They scored
advances in this effort, the
Americans pushing beyond Ser
gy to within two kilometres of
Chamery, on the center of the
Marne front.
The allied forces effected their
progress against stubborn Ger
man resistance.
Chamery marks the spot where

plane.
The Germans Wednesday used
a new gas, having a white flame
and smoke.
The allies brought into action
their heavy artillery, their avia-
tors and patrols having reported
mile after mile of barbed wire
standing along the German lines.
The heavy guns soon found the
range of the entanglements.
Some enemy infantry had dug
in behind the wires, butthe lines
were for the most part manned
by machine gunners. The Ger
man artillery reply consisted
chiefly of shells from the IT'S
and 1O5's. The machine guns,
with the heavier pieces indicated
were active in an effort to pre-
vent an allied advance.
The purpose of the American
and French attack which is in
northeasterly direction, probably
is for the purpose of outfianking
the Meuniere wood and in cut
ting off the blunt edged salient
in the line between Romingny
an Cierges. The salient was
made more acute by the Ameri-
can advance north from Cierges

by the Associated Press War
Editor:
American and French troops
have begun a turning movement
that, if successful, will compel a
German retirement over a wide
sector east of Percent ardenois
at the center of the Scissors
Rheims salient.
They have attacked over a
front of over three miles on each
side of the village of Nesles, the
apex of the allied wedge north
of the Ourcq. Their greatest ad-
vance was toward the town of
Sergy and approached Chamery.
Although the announced purpose
of the attack was the straighten-
ing out of the line between Ser
inges and Cierges, this is really
secondary to the out-fianking of
the Germans to the southwark.
The enemy is holding very
strong positions at Roncheres
and St. Gemme, where his line
is still less than five miles from
the Marine, and a continued ad-
vance between Nesles and Ger
ges would force him to fall back
to escape being cut eff from the
rear.

make a few flights, since l

going over in a short while to
London, England, to the largest
aviation field in the world and
there we will get training in
French, British and Italian fly
ing tactics. I know it will be a
great trip over to England and
then to think we can learn all
the languages of the different
nationalities and enjoy listening
to their war stories as they will
interest us so very much.

good on our war reports just

PARTIAL PAYMENT
PLAN FOR LIBERTY
LOAN IS POPULAR
WAGE FARMERS MAY OBTAIN
BONDS AND PAY IN WEEKLY
INSTALLMENTS.
THE BANKS AGREE on FORM
City Workers May Pay Weekly, While
In Rural Communities Systems
Adapted to Needs Are
Being Developed.

The government partial payment
plan is being adopted by many of the
cities and towns throughout the
Eighth Federal Reserve District for
handling the Third Liberty Loan,
which starts April 6. Committees have
been appointed in several cities to
work out details in connection with
the plan. 1t is thought that no form
of subscriptions to be used in the sale
of the bonds will reach anything like
the aggregate number of subscribers
who will take advantage of this meth.
cd of purchasing.
In st. Louis a committee of bankers
has been active shaping arrangements
so that purchasers of these bonds will
have the privilege of buying them on
weekly installments.
F. o. Watts. president Third Ma
tional Bank of St. Louis and chairman
of the Metropolitan Committee of the
Liberty Loan Organization for tho
Eighth Federal Reserve District, is
highly enthusiastic over the plan.
During the previous loans, MI.
Watts said. there were approximately
$4,000 subscriptions in st. Louis which
were taken on a weekly installment
plan, but in his opinion that city
ought to have $4,000 subscribers to
the weekly payment plan. That is the
goal set by the present committee for
the Third Liberty Loan Bond issue.
OF the AZ banks in st. Louis, 40 have
signed up to cooperate in pushing the
weekly payment subscriptions, and a
uniform contract to govern such sub
scriptions, approved by the st. Louis
Clearing House Association, as well
as the banks themselves, has been
adopted.
