The rising spirit of American patriot
ism is spreading even into the peniten-
taries, there being notable demonstra
ton at Santa Fe, n. NJ, where 400 of the
inmates of the state penitentisry gave
rough treatment to major in the Unit
ed States service who was placed in pris-
on because of suspicion of violation of
the espionage law. The dose of treat
ment given to Major John NJ. Birkner by
the convicts must have been particularly
CALLING, far more so than it would have
been if administered by party of free
American patriots.

No one has yet heard of the kaiser or
any of his sons getting scratch in the

The formation of baseball league OF
26 teams of Americans in Paris and the
drawing up OF schedule for the sum
mer do not indicate that Paris has any
serious intention of giving itself up to
the Germans before the fall of 1915 at
least. Indeed, the formation Of the
league may mean that the Americans
are TO remain on the job for keeps and
while they arc putting the quietus to
the kaiser they viii be keeping in fairly
good spirits by resort to the favorite
American psstine. Nevertheless. the

ALEGEND FOR LENT.

Out from t &c deserts burning glare,
Came, of old, the Damascus fair,
The Prophet Mahmod. Drawing rein
Ellis, barb a-foam from the fiery
plain),
He saw the streets of the city lie
Cool and still meath the sunset sky;
Saw, meath minarets white and slim,
Mosque and villa and garden swim;
Fountains, rearing their waters sweet,
Like shadoWy sheaves of crystal
wheat;
Lanterns, glowing like prison'd stars
Over the booths and the gay baZaars;
And graceful women, veil'd and slight,
Peering down from their easements
height:
Their dark eyes flashing, as gems, be-
tween .--a.-s. s
The yashmak's folds or latticd screen.
Drawn by the spell of that witching
dream,
Where eastern luxury reigned SUI
preme-
These" unused the Prophet, 'fare far
more kind
Than the lone, wild wilderness, far
behind!
Yet, Allah lie Allah" he softly said,
Closing his eyes with averted head
This is Paradise; and for Man,
There's but one Paradise. Feast, who
can!
THE fast of Ramazan blindeth me
From the lusts of the flesh, | must
turn and feel"
So, he put spurs to his sweating steed,
So, he gave rein to it's winged speed;
And straightway (marye1, We Chris
tian menD
Plunged back to the dreary desert
again.

LOYALTY TO ONES PASTOR.

Be loyal to your pastor. His work
is to administer to your soul, not to
please you. When his work is done
God will remove him. Until then do
all you can to uphold his hands. Be
regular in attendance to church sery-
ices and not satisfied with simply one
service a week. Bear your fair share
of the financial burdens of the parish.
Do all in your power to promote peace
and goodwill among your fellow
laborers. Be not harsh in your judg-
ment of others. Look within. Do not
gossip. Learn what the Church
teaches and requires. Take a Church
paper. Show constant respect and
Difference to those set over you in the
Lord. Perform the duty that may be
assigned to you with cheerfulness and
promptness unto the Lord" Aim to
be useful, not prominent or conspic-
uous. Show deep personal interest
in the spiritual welfare of your chill
dren. Especially take care that
they be given Catholic education.
Give these rules a fair trial and watch
the result.

WORK OF EARLY VANDALS.

Canterbury alone had eighteen thou

and were often worth kings ran
som. What became of them all?
Old John Bale tells us that, Men
used them to scour their candlesticks
and rub their boots. Some they sold
to the grocers and soap sellers and
some they sent over sea to the book
binders, not in small numbers, but in
whole shipfuls, to the wondering of
foreign nations. know merchant

THE SILENT PRIEST.

No one knew what to make of this
Belgian priest who had come to Eng
land for little from the Belgian
lines. You noticed him at once by
the oddness of his silence. 1t was
something more than the silence of
a man who rarely speaks: it was al
most ghostly, as if he were only half
present. He had white round face
with a soft fringe of beard, which had
never been cut, so that it made him
look singularly boyish. He wore
glasses, and they seemed to hide his
eyes. He had that weak, gentle look
of man who has lived all his life
in an untroubled security of body and
mind. Yet from first to last he had
seen more of the horrors of war than
any other man who had lived through
it all, from that August day in a vii
lage by the Mouse, when he and the
rest drew lots while the German fir
ing party waited, and half of. them
were put against the church and shot.
Yet these things had made no mark
on that placid white face. The COM
mon opinion was that the horror of
them had left his mind half numbed;
that he felt less than ordinary men,
that indeed he was half a ghost. But
that common opinion was wrong. l
knew it was wrong for the odd reason
that had seen him once without his
glasses. AS commonly happens, his
eyes, without them, looked larger and
deeper and more bright. But there
was something more in those I'M
dimmed eyes. There was a wildness,
and fire. From that moment, when
he looked straight at me, seeing little
himself, knew that there was some
strange flame burning in him. Then
he put on his glasses again, and again
became the same dull, patient. unin-
terested, embarrassing priest.
What was most odd in him to me
was his indifference Ito the peace of
the woods and skies, to all the I'M
troubled beauty of that English ceun-
tryside. He was apparently indiffer-
ent to that beauty, as TO everything

RACES OF ALL CoLORS IN
CHURCH..

When see the light-hearted French
man, the fiery Italian, the serious
Spaniard, the cunning Greek, the dig
nif1ed Armenian, the energetic Rus
sian, the hardheaded Dutchman, the
philosophical German, the formal and
respectable Englishman, the thrifty
Scotchman, the careless and warm
hearted Irishman and the calculating,
go-ahead American, all bound together
by the profession of the same Faith
and yet retaining their national char

their perfection, all the various colors

From the strong with life before him

Here and there man lags backward
