The world proclaims the hero who
goes down
To death at his country's call,
Marble and bronze are raised to his
renown,
And poets sing the glory of his fall,
But ali! what stone or monument can
heal
The broken heart that called that
hero son,
What balm can soothe the grieving
souls that feel
A Mothers tears must pay for vic
tories won.
Oh, Mothers of the world! like her
who stood,
On Calvary's cruel crest in an
guished tryst i
Who saw her Son Divine hang on the
wood,
And wept; in. agony the tortured

You, too, have Wept; you, too, have
paid the price,
And God will mint in purest gold
your pain.
Take heart, Oh Mothers, for the sons
who died,
Now live that peace, we seek to
grasp in dreams,
Only by blood are nations purified,
Tears are the waters of Gods
cleansing streams.
Patience and prayers will sweeten

SINCERE PRAISE is A DUTY.

The appreciation of others is one
of the sweetest things that life holds
for any of us. Have you ever noticed
how the lower animals respond to it.?
Have you ever thought that your dog
might wag his tail off just because he
thought that he had pleased you?
Have you ever observed how a horse
will put forth his utmost effort when
he is spoken to kindly and encour-
agingly? 1t is an easy task to work
very strenuously in an atmosphere of
appreciation, and it is exceedingly
hard to do simple thing in the pres
ence of those who are critical and
censorious. We have all smiled at
the story of the man whose face shone
like the sun over what his wife said
to him at breakfast time. All day
long the words, ".You are a model
husband" made melody in his heart,
until some mean soul suggested that
the dictionary defines model" as "a
small imitation of the real article"
That may have been funny, but it was
not kind. E
Sincere praise is duty. There
are some people who are so disgust

clare everything and everybody just
beautiful, that they are exceedingly
penurious in respect of honest praise.
Say, Mr.. Businessman. You had a
nice breakfast this morning. Did you
tell your wife so? Do you very often
praise her cooking? Do you ever men
ton the fact that life is so much
5weeter since she came to live with
you twenty years ago? Or have you,
got into rut and take it for granted
that she knows that you appreciate
everyday mercies by the aVidity with
which you stow them away? Well
now, Old Man, do you want thrill?
When you go home to dinner tonight
just give her bit of honest praise,
and see the light come into her eyes.
It will remind you of the time when,
you used to praise her cooking; no
matter whether the meat was burned
or the tea boiled, for, in those days,
you were living in a golden haze. But
your wife can cook now. Let her
know that you are well satisfied with
the bill of fare, and incidentally that
you consider yourself a fortunate fell
home.
And Mrs. Home Maker, do you ever
let honest-plodding John know that
you would rather be his wife than
keep up with whole tribe of Joneses?
Just watch for some special evidence
of the goodness of your hubby, and
let him know that his goodness, and
thoughtfulness, and kindness are
noted. Little woman! You will have
whole cage full of singing birds in
your house for days after. Your own
heart will sing, and poor old John,
even if he does sing a bad bass, will
make the best attempt of all his life
to do justice to Home, Sweet Home
The kind of praise that g is ex-
pressed by means of funeral wreaths
and big tomb-stones does not do the
dead any good. In one community in
which | used to live they used to talk
about giving the dead "a fine send
off," | fancy that the most of us are
not particularly concerned about the
kind of funeral we may have, but an
honest word of appreciation might be
very welcome just now. There is lit
tie danger of honest appreciation do
ing us any harm. 1t is wonderful how
humble sincere words of praise often
make us. a
1t is worthy of note also that the
desire for honest appreciation is one
of the root motives that lead men to
struggle on in spite of WEAKNESS and
encouragement. How often you hear
men say: Anyhow, God knows.
And God will some day make every
thing right" Yes, God knows, and
the Judgment will be wonderful dis
closure of the Divine appreciation of
simple fidelity to duty, of real good
ness, of love for the Saviour that
never wavers, and of an unselfish de-
votion to the interests of our fellow
men that has escaped the eye of our
fellow-citizens, but has been noticed
by Him to whom all things are naked
and open. And what a reward some
of these unappreciated folks will
have!

A GOOD MARRIAGE RECIPE.

You are married; you have given
your hand in marriage for better or
worse until death parts you. Perhaps
many one has not found in mar
riage that which he or she had an
ticipated during the honeymoon pc
Rod; perhaps many one has re-
pented that he or she took this or
that partner, or married at all. Such
thoughts are Immediately to be ban
ished as futile and dangerous. Rather
should one reflect how married life
may be rendered more happy under
the prevailing conditions.
Above all seek harmony. The wife
has not married an Archangel Ga
briel, and you, husband, your wife will
hardly be an Esther or a pure sera-
phic saint, but human being with
characteristic faults and frailties.
Therefore, you must bear with each
other, always, from morning until
evening, in big things and little things.

AFTER COMMUNION.

When the priest lays the Sacred
11ost on your tongue, think that Our
blessed Lady lays the Infant Jesus
gently in your arms. Carry Him care
gully back to your place, whispering
to Him:
Baby Jesus, wilt Thou lie
In my arms a little while?
/ will hold Thee tenderly,
Look at Thee, and Thou wilt smile.
Jesus, Jesus, God and Man,
/ will love Thee as | can"
When back in your place after Com
munion think you go into a corner of
the Cave at Bethlehem, and there
kneel down, holding the Divine Babe
quite close against your heart. Say
to Him:
o Jesus dear, o Jesus dear,
l am glad to hold Thee here!
Although Thou art so weak and small,
Thou art my God, and Lord of all.
o Babe Divine, o Babe Divine,
Just for little Thou art mine,
And can press Thee to my heart,
All great and holy as Thou art.

She was moving in on the first of May.
When she took in her household goods,

They were nothing but rubbish and
sticks and straw;
But when I made her a call just now,
| found she had furnished her house
somehow
All trim and tidy, and nice and neat
The prettiest cottage in all the street.
Of thistledown silk was her carpet fine,
A thousand times softer and better
than mine;
Her curtains to shut out the heat and
light
Were woven of blossoms, pink and
white;
And the dainty roof of her tiny home
Was broad green leaf like an emer-
aid dome.

8. Change of Religion.

Objection 1. We should not change
our religion like our coat. ~ =,
Answer: To change ones coat be-,
cause of whim of fashion would be
foolish. But if we noticed that we
put it on wrong, inside out, or that it
is very defective, then certainly we
must change even if it is disagreeable.
Thus if we find that the religion We
have had is wrong we must change 1t,
for to resist the known truth is sin
against the Holy Ghost which will not
be forgiven if we persist in it.
Objection 2. A gentleman, man
of honor, does not change his religion.
Answer: % That would be con-
Cession that Luther, Calvin and all
who fell away from the Catholic
Church we're not men of honor, for
they changed their religion. Thanks
for the concession!
GU To change ones religion from
low, worldly motives, for example, for
the sake of a good marriage, is GER
tainly shameful and sinful; but to
leave a religion of whose error we are
convinced and embrace one that we
find true, in spite of all difficulties and
sacrifices, is a sign of conscientious
ness, character and a sense of honor.
Christ demands from the Jews and
heathens to change their religion. A
Protestant once gave the excuse: Il
want to be buried with my fathers in
he same graveyard" The answer
vas: Just dig a little deeper and
T. on will come to your Catholic fore
tathers."
90 We find hundreds of men and
omen who often through great sacri-
ces, such as loss of friends and even
amily ties, join the Catholic Church
tor no other reason that to follow the
dictates of their conscience. 1t is a
general rule that those who join the
athOlic Church do SO to lead a bet
r life; but those who leave the Cath
clio Church do so to lead an easier
nd often immoral life. "By their
Tits you shall know them (Matth
20). 1t is estimated that about 49,
90 join the Catholic Church every
ear in the United States. The great
aajority no doubt do so from good
spotives. Many of these are from the
most educated and highest walks Of
life.

Mr.. Alexander got his first chance.
From San Jose and the Victor thea
ter, Mr.. Alexander went to Vancouver
for a season in stock, then to Montreal
with His Majesty's Players, then a
season in Toronto. Just before coming
to Phoenix he played a season at the
Alcazar theater in San Francisco.
For one brief season Mr.. AIexanded
essayed the role of theatrical magnate,
leasing the opera house" at Ruby,
Mont, a mining town. With the assist
ance of local talent, he presented the
people of Ruby with a number of very
lurid melodramas. So realistic were

from the stage, made a hurry run and
completely ruined perfectly good

But Mr.. Alexander has recovered
from that these many seasons and has

the best stock companies on the coast
While he has been in this part of the
country many times, he never before
was in Phoenix. He likes this city and

NORMA TALMADCE To
Be SEEN At STRAND

The Strand will begin the week today
with Norma Talmadge, appearing for
three days in 1.-The Probation Wife,
Norma Talmadge has been called the
most versatile girl in pictures, and it is
such work as she does in this picture
that has gained for her this enviable
reputation. In the role of 10 Mowbray,
in Probation Wife," the star brings
to the role, three distinct characterize
tons. In the early stages, we find her
as 10 Mombray, the star attraction at
a notorious cafe" where her chief oc-
cupation is stealing money from the
summers who frequent the place. On
one occasion, Harrison Wade is in the
party, and he becomes the girls in
tended victim. But Wade is a man of
the world, and recognizes the good in
this girl whom he feels has not had a
chance. He discourages her intentions
of robbing him by giving her money
with which to make her escape from
the dive. But the management fore
stalls her escape, and when the place
is raided, 10 is sent to the reform
school for three years. Taking advan-
take of the opportunity to better her
self Internationally, she studies, and
when the chance Of escape comes two
years later, 10 is ready Taking the
money she has concealed, she outfits
herself in pretty clothes, and starts out
on conquest, for the only way she
has been taught to get the things she
wants is through some man. On a
train, she meets 'the man" but is sur
prised when it turns out to be Harrison
Wade. She promptly offers to sell her
self to him for clothes and luxury, but
he staggers her with proposal of mar
riage. She accepts, and decides to be-
come the wife in name only-a proba-
ton wife. A wonderfully clever climax
brings the story to it's unexpected
ending.
Thomas Meighan, who played "The
Shark" in THE Miracle Man" has the
handling of the leading male role in
THE Probation Wife" and the remain
der of the supporting company has
been most carefully selected.

ONE EXPERIENCE IN
PICTURES BROUGHT
HIM BACK To STAGE

Most every actor in the country has
had his try at pictures" in fact, there
are few who have not at some time or
other taken a whirl at the movie game
TO find out whether it is just what It
has been cracked up TO be.
This includes Clifford Alexander the
very clever leading man of the Elder
Stock company at the Elks theater,
who has made a distinct hit with Phoe-
nix playgoers with his capabale work
in the splendid comedies and dramas
that have been presented this far this
season
But Mr. Alexander has returned to
the stage and the more regular life of
the legitimate actor, willing to fore
go the movies for other more ambitious
ones. Three days and nights in biz
zard on a mountain top was the expert
ence that changed the whole future of
the Elder companys leading man
brought him TO Phoenix for the present
season in stock.
II was in Canada, near Montreal,
where Mr.. Alexander had this most
uncomfortable experience while in a
moving picture company. Eight peo-
PIE, himself included, had gone up into
a mountain some miles from the Cana
dian city where movies were 10 be

scenes. Fortunately, the scenario called
for the erection of shack up there.
and IL was to this shack that party
owed their lives.
, For two days and nights the snow
fell. blocking all trails and making the
party OF six men and two women pris-
'oners in the shack on the mountain
top. Food for but two days had been
taken with them. At the close of the
third day, a rescuing party broke
through the trail and reached the eight
people who were safe and whole but
very hungry very discouraged and
mighty tired of the picture game.
