Coinciding with this praise as he
did, Mr.. Kilmer expressed surprise
that l had not included the poet Shell
ley in my eulogies, as the latter, ami
mated by ardent sympathy with En-
met in his efforts to assert Ireland's in
dependence, had actually gone over to
Dublin with the intention of taking
part in that gloriously Intellectual re-
bellion. He then spoke of an ancestor
of his own, who, though of English
birth and breeding, sharing Shelley's
sentiments for Ireland, had gone over
there, and as the price for his partici-
patton in the Emmett uprising, had lain
weary time in prison. 1 believe
quote rightly when say that Mr.. Kill

(Mrs. Kilburn Kilmer) commemorated
an engagement on Irish soil in which
this liberty-loving ancestor had played
decisive part. Thus, logically, did
Joyce Kilmer come by his warm and
| sincere sympathy with Ireland's con-
tinually renewed assertions of her indie
pendence.
A memorable event in Joyce Kill
mer's life, as it had decisive influ-
ence on all his later poetry, was his
coming into the Catholic Church.
Here, as in his sympathy with Ireland,
all credit must be given to his own
lofty and discerning spirit, rather than
to any outside influence or suggestion.

DEATH MASK OF ARCHBISHOP.

= A death mask of the late Archbishop
John Ireland was made by Chicago
sculptor on Saturday, the Rev. Thorn.
as A. WEIGH, secretary to the late
archbishop, said Thursday night. The
mask will be used as foundation of a
statue of the prelate, which probably
will be placed in st. Paul.
When this statue will be finished
and where it will be placed Father
WEIGH said he did not know When
completed, it will be the only statue
in existence of Archbishop Ireland.
The pioneer churchman never posed
for a statue.
Owing to his distaste for sitting for
a portrait, there are not more than two
oil portraits of Archbishop Ireland in
the Northwest. One of these, painted
several years ago by an Italian artist,
is at st. GATHERINGS college, and the
other hangs in convent in st. Paul.

Joyce kilmer enlisted directly upon
our entrance into the war. To sway
and shake him from that decision he
had everything that life could offer.
An assured position in the world of let
tiers, model family life, based on his
devotion to his beautiful young wife,
Aline Kilmer, and their four children,
editorships on the staff of the Times
and the Literary Digest-all these
were there to hold him back from the
far, titanic conflict. But his simple
hearted truth to his convictions left
him but the one choice. Like the good
Democrat he was, too, setting aside
the talents and the influence which
would have secured him an officers
rank, he enlisted as private. EX-
