THE COST OF A LONG TAIL

On the highway between Dieppe and Gournay, France, there is an
interesting wayIde inn that never fails to attract the attention of trav-
eers who journey " the road. Nailed yer the door of the inn there
is a notice that reads: Horses boarded here: Rates-Horse with a
short tail fifty confines a day. Horses with a long tail 1 franc"
No one could understand a discrimination among horses based on
the length of their tails until a reporter for a Paris paper questioned the
honest old innkeeper gave an amusing but logical answer to the reporters
question.
Why, that's very simple" he said. "a horse with a short tail is
very much bothered by flies and gnats. He is kept so busy driving them
off with his head that he naturally cannot eat much. A horse with a
long tail does not need to us his head to keep off the flies, but can
busy himself eating. In that va he eats. much more than the other.
Therefore it is only logical that I should charge a higher rate for his
board"
The innkeepers argument surely sounds reasonable.

MEAT PLENTIFUL
No. II

One of the amusing advertisements appearing in the daily press, was
that of the meat trust, telling the public that meat was TO- plentiful
especially mutton and pork, and by this advertisement, they of. course
expect to increase the consumption of these articles. But, the said same
trust failed to tell the public in this advertisement, why, if mutton and
pork are plentiful, that the prices are going up instead of going
down. J. Ogden Armour, n of the authorities on the supply and
demand Of meat, stated only a few days ago that meat prices will not
come down until the production of cattle, hogs, etc, is increased. Does
it not seem strange that the head of ne of the largest meat packing
plants should blame the present high prices o the lack of production,
while the meat trust tells us in big advertisements that there is plenty
of meat. The solution to this paradox, will be best obtained through
a special congressional investigation. The public, especially among the
poorer classes, art the great sufferers, and they are entitled to a full
and impartial investigation.

Father Dougherty, S. M, leaves AL.
giers.
One of the saddest events in the
history Of the Holy Name Parish was
the sudden departure of Father
DOugherty from Algiers. The news
came to him like a clap of thunder
out of a clear sky. Contented and
happy in his new field of labor Father
Oougherty never expected this sudden
change, however, since this means
higher and better things for him he
reconciled himself to his fate, and
though loathe to leave the people he
loved, he left happy at the thought
OF what was before him. Father
lDougherty leaves for France to take
his final vows in the order of Mary,
and in order to do this he will with
several other Marists undergo a six
months training and studying in
Monte Calieri, Italy. This comes to
Father Dougherty as a reward for his
good work and priestly life. Only the
best and the most fervent are called
to take this final step. He has de.
served this honour by the faithful dis.
charge OF his duties and by his untir
ing efforts in the welfare of those who
were confided to his care.
Everybody in Algiers remembered
his work during the Flu, day and
night he was ministering to the
spiritual needs of the people, and IL
was only on account of his splendid
physique and constitution that he did
not fall under the weight OF the
work.
He made a most enviable reputa,
ton in or midst, in. New Orleans
and even in far away Maine as a
preacher and an orator. In the pulpit
he impressed with a Cody sincerity
which brought conviction and moved
to better living and a greater O
OF the noblest things in this life. His
genial disposition attracted al to him
n In the short while that he was
in our midst he made for himself a
host Of friends to whom his departure
will come as misfortune. AS a com
panion his brother Marists will miss
him for his faculty Of looking at the
happy side of life was like a raw of
sunshine among the hardships of a
busy life.
Father Dougherty may not be en-.
tlrely lost to us however, for after his
work in Europe he may be sent back
again to Algiers where he will be
most welcomed.
