ORIGINAL SACRED NAMES OF
PLACES IN THE U. S.

It is very gratifying to those who
appreciate the fact, that from the At
lantic ocean to the Pacific, from st.
Louis, Missouri, named for King
Louis of France, an honored tertiary,
secular, of the order of ST. Francis,
to San Francisco, California, named
by his pious followers for their be-
loved Saint Francis; from Northern
Minnesota, whose beautiful capital is
named in honor of st. Paul, to the Rio
Grande, to San Antonio and to St.
Augustine, the land is blessed by the
religious zeal of our forbears, who
made use of holy names for noun
tains, lakes, capes. towns and cities,
ITO impress upon all ages the sacred
truths they cherished.
From st. Louis, Mo-, to the Golden
Gate, the famous Santa Fe trail re-
ceived the name of The Holy Faith of
Saint Francis, and is commonly called
merely The Santa Re Trail writes DR..
Parker in Catholic Standard and
Times. 1t was 50 called in honor Of

to post it, said the woman. George?
Oh, no." answered his mother. ''He
is thirteen years old and perfectly reli-
able. The post office is only four
blocks distant. Just give your mes
sage to me-"
She did so reluctantly. His mother
gave him the letter, some money and
told him to bring two pounds of beans,
and hurry back. One hour, two hours,
and late for supper the boy rushed in
filed with the JOY Of the games he
had been playing. Drawing his hand

fell to the floor. Tears came to the
,woman's eyes as she picked it up and
left the room. The mother opened the
package and found peas instead of
beans, also ten cents in change was
missing, of which the boy was unable
to give any account,

play, but when they work or run an
errand, see to it that they take the

Disappointment Follows.

Disappointed in his dramatic as
pirations, he tried his hand at all
kinds of literary drudgery; he trans
lated works from the French and the
Spanish; he wrote for the magazines
and weekly publications, which he
often said cheated him abominably.
He kept on writing, ever hopeful of
success, though he was often in
Strengthened circumstances, and to his
disappointment was added ill health.
At the end of two years he obtained
steady employment in publishing
house, as reader and reviser of man
uscript, and in short time became
frequent contributor to some of the
leading periodicals and magazines.
He wrote on a great variety of sub
jects, and displayed such talent that
his services were well rewarded.
Success at Hand.
What spare time he had he devoted
to writing novels, wishing by this
means to make known the people and
places with which he was familiar
those of the south of Ireland. And so
he started series of short stories.
Anecdotes of Munster which he lat
er called Holland Tide" This was
followed by tale of the Munster FEES
tivals.' "The Collegians,' which was
published in his twenty-fifth year and
which assured him fame and fortune
For years he kept up his literary
work, but the call to religious life
was too strong. He thought of becom.
ing a priest, but considered the re.
sponsibility too great and decided to
become an humble Brother On Sept
8, 1888, he entered the Institute
of the Christian Brothers, and there
as Brother Joseph spent the rest OF
his life content and happy, instructing
the children of the poor, to whom the
Christian Brothers dedicate their lives
In June, 1889, he was transferred from
Dublin to the Monastery of Cork
where he died of typhus fever at the
early age of thirty-six.
Notwithstanding the severe trials he
was put to during his residence in
London he remained singularly pure
minded, and the purity of his mind is
reflected in all he wrote Though he
thought he had failed, he really sue
ceeded in his aim of furnishing
healthy food to the imagination.

THE LAUGHTER OF A CHILD.

i have heard the feathered songsters
Sing their praise at break of day;
/ have heard the purling brooklet
AS it sang along it's way;
| have heard the winds at noontime,
Singing in the woodland wild
But they can't compare in sweetness
To the laughter of al child.
/ have heard a mighty chorus
Full hundred voices strong:
| have heard the prima donna
Sing her sentimental song;
/ have heard the great pipe-organ,
With its high notes and its low
But they can't compare in sweetness
TO child laugh that I know
have heard the hands of masters
Weave rich tapestries of sound;
have heard the Great Musician
Bring forth melodies profound
From his ancient Stradivarius,
Till wept and laughed for joy
But they can't compare in sweetness
To the laughter of my boy.
There is something in its music
That no earthly hand can play;
There are. harmonies celestial
EThat draw all my thoughts away,
Ito the great white throne Ger yonder
Where the bands Of angels sing,
And hear voice long silent
That belongs to one like him,

Look kindly where poor people are,
Mary of Homes! keep trouble far.
Shelter beneath thy prayerful wings,
Mary of Roses! all young things.
Keep children warm through winds

Of cold nights, Mary of Counterpanes!
Send us high skies, blue days and

Mary of Swallows! bless the air.
All wandering men abroad at night, :
Mary of Candles! give them light.
Make wide space behind their bars
For prisoners, Mary of all the Stars!

In woods of summer, Mary Of Sleep!

In my poor .belfry, Mary of Rhymes!

the blessed saint SO universally loved
by Christians-Catholi and Protes-
tants, as well, Saint Francis, Saint
Bernadino, California, is named for
another saint, who originated the
mystic blending of the letters, I. HI.
S., the first three letters of the Most
Holy Name of Jesus.
In A. D. 1886 was founded what is
now, the capital of New Mexico, La
Citidad Real de la Santa Fe de San
Francisco. (The true City of the Holy
Faith of Saint Francis.)
Rising in it's grandeur on the great
Rocky Mountain chain is The Mount
of the Holy Cross. 1t is real noun
tain rightly named, situated in the
vicinity of Leadville and Red Cliff.
The sacred symbol which gives it's
name is derived from the great and
deep depressions, one vertical and
one horizontal, which cross each
other nearly at right angles on the
bare eastern slope. of the mountain,
which in winter becomes filled with
great masses of snow. During the
summer the SHOWS around the depres-
sions are melted away, leaving the
rest naked, and the snowy emblem of
human faith and hope stands gleam-
ing in white splendor against the
azure sky as if nature were thus con-
secratng the mountains to her God,
and reflects the suns glories above it.

note that Cape Ann, so popular with
the summer visitors, has very an
cient history, dating back to the year
of Grace, A. D. 1000, when the north
ern sailors, the fearless Norsemen,
sailed by the rock-bound point and
the Most Holy Cross" AS usual the
English, in flattery of royalty,
changed the name.
Centuries afterwards explorers in
the Northwest named the cross
shaped lake, now known as Itasca
lake, the reputed source of the great
Father of Waters, the mighty Missis-
sippi, Lake of the Holy Cross.
Then the holy missionaries minis.
tering to the savage and treacherous
Indians, named the beautiful lake in
northern New York Saint Sacrament
Later came the victorious English
and called the shining sheet of deep
water after their king, Lake George
after a man who cared little or moth
ing for the Holy Sacrament, but in
spite of the English king the capital
of California still bears the holy name
of the Blessed Sacrament, Sacramento
Many and many place of beauty
or some prosperous city or town has
received the name of some holy saint
often the sweet name of Mary Or OF
| Bethlehem.
Louisiana has. many places, named
for holy saints. A reference to any
atlas of the United States will show
many holy names.
This is Gods country, and chival
rous Catholics or stern Protestants
have impressed upon it so many fea
lures of Gods holy religion that cen
turtles may never erase the religious
tone of our fair land.
