| wouldn't have been proud of my
Joe a lot,
Through all the grim terror, had a
great JOY,
/ had given my ALL had given my
boy.
No vain millionaire in the land could
do more,
By giving the last of his glittering
store,
And pouring it out in a vast golden
flood
I'd given my heart and my flesh and
my blood,
And all of the billions piled up in a
row
Looked cheap and did not measure
up to my Joe.
The danger, somehow, didn't worry
me so,
| didn't want any soft berth for my
Joe.
I wanted him right in the thick OF
the fight
So l could 90 proudly to God every
night
A-prayin' little but braggin' a pile
And just make Him hear about Joe
for while.
One morning it happened, just after
daylight,
guess I'd been there on my knees
most all night;
l seemed to be grabbed by a big
grizzly bear
That Rugged me and put a big paw
on my hair.
And what happened then? Well,
really don't know,
The neighbors all say that | just
hollered "Joe!"
guess I'm a coward. I tainted
And didn't come to till along in the
day.
And then l took Joe by the ear and
| said:
You go take a bath and march
straight off to bed.
You've got your feet wet and you're
in for a chill,
And don't scrape your mud on that
kitchen door sill"
Joe stood and he grinned and he let
his eyes roam,
And then he said: "Goshl it seems
good to be home.
Your orders are law. I'll obey 'em
with care
Since me and the Yanks have got
4. through over there"
And then he saluted and turned on
his toe,
Now wasn't that just like that seal
awag, Joe?

A new way to use beads is illus
trated in this model of blue serge
Stitched loops of blue serge finish
the round neck; through these loops
are run a string of red wooden
beads. This effective trimming is
also used on the cuffs. Another at
tractive feature of this dress is found
i'll the black satin apron, which is
embroidered in wool flowers shading
from dark to lighter red. The apron
and girdle line are finished with a
narrow belt of black charmeuse,
which holds the fullness snugly at
the waist line. This is a very at
tractive costume for wear under a
cloth coat and later will be an ideal
dress for spring wea<. when furs
and coats are laid aside. A broad
hat of black velvet completes this
unusual costume.

Chicago, Dec. 20. = Mother Xavier

Archbishop Mannix Attacked.

| N'~u0souOP "dtutN AIIdCkcOs
Messages from Australia published
in the daily papers have described the
Most Rev. DR.. Mannix, the late Arch
bishop Carr's successor in the See of
I Melbourne, as an unpopular prelate.
The Archbishop does not deny that
owing to his opposition to CONSUMPTION
and the freedom of criticism which
he has exercised, he has become un-
popular amongst certain classes, but
amongst the Catholics and non-Cath-
olics he has great number Of admir-
ers, and the action of the Government
in regard to a memorial to Archbishop
Carr is not likely to make him less
critical or less combative The Catho-
lies of Victoria have undertaken to
erect a chapel in the Catholic College
at the University in honor of the late
Archbishop. The Catholic police of
the State intended to make Joint con-
tribution to the chapel fund but the
Chief Secretary, it appears, has for
hidden them to do so. In his speech
at Geelong the Archbishop said there
were few who had been more grossly
misrepresented and maligned than he
had been. The truth of the statement
is proved by the unfairness of the at
tack made upon him by Mr.. Hughes,
the Prime Minister-an attack which,
charging His Grace with dis'oyalty and
sedition and reeking of misrepresenta-
tion, has been cabled from Australia
to the papers here for the purpose of
creating prejudice against him.

GARDENERS MUST LOOK
after The CELERY CROP
City Garden Advisor Gives Out Expert
Information on the Care Of
the Fall Crops.

Mr.. c. p Dieterich, City Garden Ad-
visor, has issued the following state
ment in regard to fall crops:
Your celery will need looking after
now, and as soon as the soil is dry
enough begin pulling it around the
stalks, but do not cover up the leaves,
Just bring the dirt up to the leaves as
the celery will keep on growing from
the center of the stalk.
If you have lot of Kidney beans
planted, and the pods are not ma
tured enough to cure up for next win
ter you had better can some of them
as the pods are very tender at this
time of the year.
Endive can be tied now to bleach
it, but do not put any soil around il
as it will rot if you do.
There is plenty of corn coming to
market so keep on canning.
Keep the weeds cut around your
garden, so they will not go to seed
and you will save lots of hard labor
next season.
