MAMMALIAN MARVELLOUS

Maximilian Marvellous we called him
for joke.
lie used to pass us every day, but
rarely ever spoke.
The shoes he wore were scandalOus,
they did not fit his feet;
In tattered coat and greasy shirt, he
shuffled down the street.
When once we stopped Max solemnly,
to pass the time of day,
He looked at us, half doubling, in a
hesitating way.
And when we asked him if t were true
that he was once king
Of some forgotten island where the
South-Sea maidens sing,
10. Maximilian Marvellous gave us a
whitening smile,
III re'er forget his answer, as 1t came
in vigorous style:
Il am king of everything my rowing
eyes survey,
MY KINGDOMS built of sun-lit bowers
where little children play.
"Alv scepter's made of jeweled song
that wakes old village lanes,
"NIv banquet hall is piled with dreams
that romp in April rains.
"The great. wide world is my estate,
but here l choose to 'bde,
Il married Lady Poverty, and l am
satisfied.
81 do not wOrk-kingS never work
Why should l soil my hands:
81 am the ruler Of my time fer town
or meadow-lands.
"Prrhaps am an artist-then | paint
the sunset sky,
"Prrhaps | am a poet when the days
of autumn die.
+ eat one square meal every day, its
source nobody knows.
And he who gives it to me, sees
also get some clothes.
"'The sun and rain are friends Of mine
the stars are my delight.
"Thoy bring me thoughts of childhood
when my mothers eyes were
bright.
Il am king Of everything that money
cannot buy,
"The richest man on earth, like me
must some day fade and die"
Then MaXimlian Marvellous said no
another thing,
And, as he walked away, we cried.
He's every inch King"

FISH THAT EXPLODE.

To the Russian people Lake Baikal,
in eastern Siberia, is holy lake, and
they believe both the lake and its sur
rounding country are endowed with
supernatural powers and inhabited by
unearthly beings. All kinds of weird
tales mingle with their explanations
of any feature Of the lake. Even 50
simple an object as a great rock lying
in the middle of a river just where it
flows from Lake Baikal takes on a
mysterious significance. If this stone
were to slip from its place, they say,
the whole Lake Baikal would pour
out Of its basin and flood the river
and probably the continent. But there
are actually many strange things
about Lake Baikal. There is, for eX-
ample, a species of fish that inhabits
the deepest part. These fish have
been seen by few persons, for as soon
as they are lifted out of their aCcus-
toned atmosphere of high pressure
they explode.

WHY CATHOLIC GIRLS DO NOT
MARRY.

The statement that there are thou
who are not married, and who viii
probably never marry, Will be readily
accepted. The fact, however, that
most Of these thousands are, or will
remain unmarried because they have
placed consideration Of others ahead
OF themselves, is perhaps not fully
understood by sOciolOgistS and others
who give even occasional thought to
this subject. Literally, Unselfshness
is the word that most accurately eX-
plains the situation. With this great
virtue deeply rooted in the hearts of
these noble women, through their I'M
tlinching devotion to what they con-
slider their duty in helping to sup
port, and not infrequently entirely
supplying the material needs for par
ents, brothers and sisters or grandpar-
ents and other. semi-dependents, have
consciously raised a barrier between
themselves and matrimony. The lives
of these patient, self-denying girls
and women flower profusely in sacri-
fetal richness. Within their souls
dwells the heart-spirit of the Cross;
they give and give rejoicingly.
Notably is this true, in countless in
stances, of the elder sister in Catholic
families where children are plentiful
and means moderate. Dozens Of such
women and girls are known to nearly

them in the twinkling of an eye.
CruSty on the outside, they appear to
be at times, but in reality they are
gentle as the wobbly lambs of spring
time. Sternly the years hold them in
the grip of their dependencies.
The history of one of these women
is cOncident with the history of them
all to speak in round instances. AT
first they begin by being mothers

daily tasks of tending baby dressing

public schools equipped with all mod

unexceptiOnal appliances for educa-
tional perfection, such as basketball,
football, swings Of various kinds,
swimming pools, dressing rooms,
baths, lunches, cooks, kitchens, bar
bers for the young men, and beauty
parlOrs for the young ladies, garages

etc, for conveying the gently reared
boys and girls to school. The profess

vices for expanding the mind, includ-
ing lectures in sex hygiene and the
latest indecencies in dancing, fox trot,
etc, and offices and doctors and lab
OratOries for dentistry, manicuring,
diseases of the nose and throat. Pos
Sibly q squad of taiiors and shoemak-
ers will be employed for patching the
trousers of the young men and the
French heeled shoes of the young
ladies. We believe we have not stat
ed everything yet, but we are assured
that as this is pagan country (siXty
million acknowledge they have no re-
ligion of any kind no religion will
be taught and manners and morals
will be left to private schools to be
supported by parents who realize that
the children are sacred to them and
as parents they have the bounden
duty Of providing for the entire edu.
cation of their souls as we'll as their
bodies. The great men of our country
whose names are written in its history
never had palatial school to shelter
them nor professors Of athletics to
develop their little bodies, nor doctors
to inspect their little noses, nor a
merchant to supply eye glasses at pub

every hour in study with no time tc
waste on dancing or other so-called

have in the country is our Congress
