tian pyramids And yet he built we'll
for religion. This cathedral is the
crowning achievement of his work in
this line. 1t is worthy of him, true
symbol of his great faith, and an en-
during witness to his zeal, and to his
power over the wills and hearts of
men,
Great talents are, as the gospel in
sIsts, for use. 1t is natural that a
man of large, bold, enterprising mind,
and strong, generous love, should
seek to exercise such powers for 9TH
ers' gain.
We are not born for ourselves, but
for our neighbors, our country. Arch
bishop Ireland might have become
distinguished specialist in theology, in
history or in social science. He was
called by the circumstances of time
and place not to the quiet OF study
but to the active life of a pioneer
bishop, of an apostle He counted it
law to him to Tabor as st. Paul,
his great patron, enjoins, "as a good
soldier Of Christ Jesus" He longed
to realize his ideal of the Church in
contact with human society, and con-
scious of great power, he instinctively
sought to enter spheres of large and
varied activity. He never felt the
STRINGS of vulgar ambition, and if he
desired the best advantages for the
free play of strong powers in the ex-
ercise OF his ministry, he was moved
thereto by sense of duty and a zeal
for Church and Country
In his private life he was model
of every priestly virtue. His living
apartments were less scommodious and
comfortable than those of the major
ity of his priests. His fare was the
simplest. He took little rest and no
recreation. He was at the call of
every one whom he could serve He
was regular in everything and in moth
ing more than in his religious duties
and devotions. Even when, as often
happened, the duties of the day held
him captive till midnight, he inyari.
ably began his Mass at six o'clock in
the morning after due preliminary ex4
| ercises of piety. His great deyotions
We're to the Blessed Sacrament, which
he visited regularly, and to the Blessed
Virgin whose Rosary he prayed with
the confidence of a child
He had no great attachments save
such as came of his faith. On each
! of two occasions, some years ago,
when I drove with him through the
cemetery where he directed that he
should be buried, he said, Il long to
| be at rest" The cheerful resigna-
tion, the patient suffering, the spir.
itual mindedness, the Christian hope,
the burning love of God, which filled
the last months, the last days, the
| last hours of his life were fitting
and due termination of the career of
great bishop, holy priest. He won
his way to our hearts where we shall
hold him in loving gratitude and
earnest prayer, for we have tried him
and known him.
| Dear friend, beloved father in God,
to most of us life cannot be without
you what it was with you to inspire,
guide and help.
Farewell, dear Archbishop Ireland,
| farewell!

Bury Me in The Sunshine
POETIC SETTING OF ARCH
BISHOPS LAST WISH.

Several years ago the late. Arch
bishop Ireland was discussing the sub.
iect of the crypt in the new Cathedral,
the place intended for the, burial OF
the Archbishops of st. Paul. Sud
denly he exclaimed, ooh, bury me. in
the sunshine, when l die" A few
days before his death the venerable
prelate gave expression to- the same
sentiments when he said: Let me lie
out there with my people, under the
green sod of Calvary; it is my wish
Mr.. James Nolan, who was present
at the above meeting, put the senti
ments into the following verses which
were published at the time:
Bury Me In the Sunshine.
Bury me in the sunshine,
There would have my rest,
On some fair slope, tree-sentinelled,
In the great all-mother's breast.
Rain-swept, wind-swept, snow-swept, 3
AS the seasons come and go,
And God renews the gala dress
Of this His world below.
Sarcophagus of porphyry
In dismal crypt or vault,
If this must be the seal of fame,
gladly make default.
For me the sunshine, twittering birds
The waters gurgling flow AT
| Where God renews the gala dress

The death of Archbishop John Ire-
land, taking from earth the bodily
presence of man whose life of
exultant service made humanity
richer, and left to coming generations
rich heritage of inspiration, repre-
sents a loss in which the whole world
shares. So deep was the impression
he made-upon mankind that even in
these days when the thoughts Of men

races and creeds have paused from
their activities to do him deserved
honor and express worldwide sym.
pathy.
In the city which was his home
through the greater part of his
triumphant life and in which he held
warm human comradeship with his
fellowman, a deep personal love and
reverent affection is added to the
esteem and admiration in which he is
held. 1t is especially fitting that this
city which loved him should, so far
as possible, express its fidelity to his
shining memory. That memory will
abide in the hearts of our people for
ever, and any outward symbol will
but family record it.

And it is requested that the people
Of the city have their flags at half.

and affection, and the. sense of grief
felt in the loss of this great and good
citizen and patriot.

 The Bennett Sisters, three of them pretty and husky, offered an exhibi- tion of fencing, boxing, wrestling1 bag-punching and club-swinging that would make some of the patrons of Lav1nsky's training quarters look to their laurels.

EuL0GIZEs THE WRONG DOG
EIoquence of TactfuI Attorney Credited to Newspaper Story and He
 Loses His Case.

An old man was arrested for beat ing his wife. Application was made to have him put under a peace bond. Thinking the case too small for him to bother with, relates Case and Com ment, the county attorney asked Judge Albert D. Norton, then a young law yer, to appear for the state at the trial. An, attorney from Macon-a man who had quite 8 reputation as "pleader"-went over to defend the old man. Curled in front of the defendant was yellow dog. Vests "Eulogy of the Dog" had recently appeared in some paper. It was not nearly so fa- miliar then as it has since become. When the orator from Macon saw the yellow dog at the old mans feet he re- called Senator Vests speech, and was alive to the opportunity for an effec- tive appeal to the jury.
 "Gentlemen," and he indicated the mongrcl, "when all other friends de- sert the dog remains. If fortune drives the master forth an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying to guard against danger, to fight against his enemies; and when the last scene of all comes, and when death takes the master in it's embrace, and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by his grave side will be the noble dog he found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad, but open in alert watchfulness, faith full and true even in death !"
 So well was it delivered some of the 1urymen cried. All looked toward the aged defendant synpathetically. It is said that even the dogs eyes were moist. It was pretty clear the defend ants lawyer had things coming his way; but Norton had the windup, and during the noon recess he hunted up a paper which had the dog speech in it. This he produced and read to the jury in the afternoon. word for word as opposing counsel recited, and which the jury thought was original
 "You see, gentlemen of the jury ' said Norton, Senator Vest was talking about another dog altogether. He | never heard of this yellow curr'

CONSTIPATION
 INVITES DISEASE

A reliable laxative is necessary -o the comfort and health of any well-ordered household, because constipation is a condition that affects, in greater or less degree, practically every member of the family. When the bowels refuse to act the entire system is ef- fected; digestion is impaired nerves begin to twitch, foul gases and poisons generated by decom- posing substances in the intestines are distributed throughout the body, and often result in serious illness. A prominent French sci enlist says nine-f1ve per cent of all human disease is directly trace able to inactive bowels.
 More than quarter of a century ago Dr. W. B. Caldwell prescribed a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin that is now the standard remedy in thousands of homes. This prescription is sold by druggists for fifty cents a bot tie, under the name of Dr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin. A trial bot tie can be obtained, free of charge, by writing to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 456. Washington St., Monticello, Illinois.

LYRIC

If laughing disagrees with you or in anJ. way endangers vour health do not visit the Lyric theatre this week, for you will laugh yourself into a nos pital at that funniest of all plays, ''Mam' 'zelle." It would be safe to say that no matter what troubles or worries beset a person, gloom would give place to laughter. sadness to mirth and for at least three hours all the dull care of the prosaic existence be forgotten amid the avalanche of good, clean comedy with which every line of the play is filled.
 It would be a hard matter to pick favorites in the play. Everyone has something to do and does it well. Those members of the PoH Players who have been in the habit of playing heavy roles turned out to be come- dians and comediennes of the funniest kind last night while surprises were sprung on the audience galore in the shape of songs and dances as well as other specialties.
 Beside bringing out much unsus- pected talent "Mamzelle" offers a great opportunity for the audience and the Poli Players to get together and be acquainted. Many of the players sit with the audience in the same maaner that Raymond Hitch cock does in "Hitchy Koo." One suddenly discovers that the good look ing chap in a dinner jacket who occu- pies the seat on the right is none other than Dudley Ayres or that the stunning beauty languidly draping herself over the gold furniture in the left hand box is the charming Miss Warda Howard.
 While the artists and artistes min gle with the audience causing a veritable riot of fun, the back of the stage is shown in one act. Our friends the grips, fymen, stage car penters, scenic artists, electricians, property men, assistant property men, scrub ladies, call boys and doormen gre all seen hard at work and 8 won- derful idea is obtained by the audience of how play is staged.
 Several patriotic numbers are sung hv the entire company while tableauX depicting the spirit of France and the "spirt of '76" bring the entire houso down. Miss Howard as La Belle France" makes a wonderful impress sion on the audience as she appears ir the spot light with uplifted sword, shield hung on her arm. draped in the tri-color and points the way to vic- tory and final peace.
 The production is scenically all that could be desired. while the music which runs through the entire play is catchy in the extreme and lends a suitable accompaniment to the well played comedy.
