THE LITTLE HOME PAPER

!. (By Charles Hanson Towne.)
The little home paper comes to me
As badly printed as can be;
It's ungrammatical, cheap, absurd
Yet how I love each intimate word!
For here am in the teeming town,
Where the sad, mad people rush up
and down,
And it's good to get back to the old
lost place,
And gossip and smile for little
space.
The weather is hot; the corn crops
good;
They've had a picnic in Sheldon's
wood.
And Aunt Maria was sick last week;
Ike Morrison's got a swollen cheek,
And the Squire was hurt in run
AWAY
More shocked than bruised, I'M glad
to say.
Bert Wills--I used to play ball with
him
Is working a farm with his uncle Jim
The Red Cross ladies gave a tea,
And raised quite a bit. Old Sol Mac
Phee
Has sold his house on Lincoln Road
He couldn't carry so big load
The Methodist minister's had call
From wealthy parish near st. Paul.
And old Herb Sweet is married at
last
He was forty-two. How the years rush
past!
But here's an item that makes me see
What puzzling riddle life can be:

| When the Allies made their last ad-
vance,"
Ed Stokes! That boy with the laugh
ing eyes
As blue as the early summer skies!
He wouldn't have killed a fy-and
yet,
Without a murmur, without a regret
He left the peace of our little place
And went away with a light in his
i face;
For out in the world was job to do
And he wouldn't come home until Il
was through
Fou rthousand miles from our tin!
And it's hardware store, this no,
went down.
Such quiet lad, such simple chap
But he's put East Dunkirk on tn
map!

SYMPATHIzING WITH SHrp

Dear Dad" he wrote, "I'm here in

And sharing in each Yank's advance.
We're driving back the filthy Hun,
The Heinies now are on the run,
And I am well and strong tonight,
Except for little things that bite.
DO you recall those happy days
We sat before the log fires blaze
Within our little parlor, snug,
With Shep asleep upon the rug,
And heard the clock tick on the shelf,
Except when Shep would scratch him
self!
"And there are times. with sudden
zip,
He'd bite himself upon the hip
Then turn his head in manner queer
To scratch himself behind the ear,
Then, like the whirling of q gale,
Get up and madry chase his tail.
well, Dad, / do not want to brag,
But since in France / serve the Flag,
I'll say In running down flea,
Shep never had a thing on me!
In fact, think I've learned to do
Some twists our old deg never knew.
I'VE used to scold and put him out:
We would not let him stay about
When he began to thump the floor.
But, oh. when l get home once more
I'll let Shep scratch the evening
through,
Because, you see, I've had 'em. too. "

ROMAN JOURNAL MAKES APPRE-
clATIVE REFERENCE TO ARCH
BISHOP lRELAND-HlS DEATH
CAUSED PROFOUND SORROW TO
THE HOLY FATHER.

In the course of biographical no.
tice of Archbishop Ireland the Cor
riere d'Italia." according to the Ro
man correspondent of La CroiX" Of
Paris, makes the following observa-
tions:
In the sending of the American
Mission, presided over by Taft, to Leo
XIII to discuss the Philippine CUES
ton; in the establishment of the Apos-
tolic Delegation at Washington; in
the problems which from time TO time
confronted the magnificent develop
ment of Catholicity in America, Mgr
Ireland played an all-important part.
Especially memorable was the ac-
tivity he displayed on the occasion of
the Spanish-American war in which
he was called upon to assist in the
negotiations for mediation on the part
of Leo XIII, whose good Offices would
have been crowned with success had
dispatch from the Spanish govern
ment, delayed some hours in trans
mission. reached President Mckinley
before the declaration of war was an
accomplished fact.
in his work as a writer and apollo
gist, Mgr. Ireland occupied the front
rank among the best known and most
highly appreciated writer's. With Car
dinal Gibbons and Mgr. Spalding he
helped to make the sanctifying and
ciyilizing power of Christianity known
and appreciated, thus Fastening the
movement for return to the faith of
our fathers in the United States, which
is so full Of promise and significance.
"One of his works has been trans
lated into all languageS-'The Church
and the Century'-in which he eX-
presses his faith in the fecundity of
the Church, urging the Catholics of
all countries to give themselves en-
tirely and with enthuiasm to The CON
quest Of our age for Christianity. Let
us love our age: it is the time which
God has given us in which to work
This apostolic appeal sums up the
vibrant thought of John Ireland.
When he was included by many in
the condemnation of Americanism,
those who knew him did not doubt for
a moment his unwavering devotion to
Rome; and, as a matter of fact, the
letter which he addressed to Leo XIII
was so humble, yet so staunch in its
allegiance to the Holy See, that the
heart of the great Pontiff was thrilled
with emotion.
Besides, Leo XIII loved Mgr ire
land and did not hesitate to express
his admiration for the exalted spirit
of the Archbishop of st. Paul

MGR, IRELAND AND THE HOLY SEE

It was in the course of his cordial
relations with Cardinal Rampolla, re-
marks the "Corriere d'Italia," in con-
Guiding its article, that Mgr. Ireland
made the acquaintance in the Secre-
tariate of State of him who today sits
on the Throne of Peter, and who on
his accession to this supreme pontifi-
cate sent him an autographed SOU
venir.
Let us add word which the Amer
lean press has already published,
namely, that the death of Archbishop
ireland has caused the Holy See pro-
found sorrow because the Sovereign
Pontiff had formally decided to create
Mgr Ireland Cardinal at the next
Consistory.
