LETTER TO THE EDITOR
"REMINISCENCES OF A PIONEER.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
The writer never goes to the Cathe-
dral School hall for any purpose with
out being carried in imagination back
to about sixty years ago, when as a
youngster he stood in the woods on
West Third street near where the
mouth of the Selby avenue tunnel is
now located, watching in childish awe
and admiration, a big Indian war
dance, to the rhythmic humping of
"tom-tom."
At still earlier date, namely, in
the latter part of February, 1857, he
recalls distinctly his standing on
packing box in front of Crawford and
Fonseca's dry goods store on West
Third street, watching solemn flu
neral cortage passing slowly by on its
way to the cemetery at the top of the
hill near where st. Joseph's Academy
now stands. All st. Paul had turned
out, and practically the entire popu-
| lation, including high and low, rich
and poor, Catholic and non-Catholic,
participated in the pageant, or lined
the sidewalks on either side of the
street in silent homage to the dead.
At last the juvenile spectator recog-
nized his father walking with meas
ured step among the pail bearers, and
he realized with the rest of the crowd
that it was the funeral of no other
| than the late Right Reverend Joseph
Cretin, ST. Pauls first Bishop.
/ How things have changed since that
eventful day! The modern Cathedral

savage sports and dances, and the new

first annual report. 1t shows the
splendid results accomplished during
the past year in co-ordinating all the
Catholic welfare agencies of Mime

fected and efficient work brought to
successful termination, while many
new features of relief and religious
work have been initiated. Father
Driscoll has been indefatigable in
various lines Of endeayor, and he has
had the jealous cooperation of many
friends, helpers and volunteer work
ers in the task of retaining the way

fortunate, relieving the suffering and
instilling religion into hearts that had

OUTSIDE THE CITIES.
Montgomery: An entertainment in
the Bohemian language was given by
the Catholic Congregation Club OF the
Church of the Most Holy Redeemer,
at the Hill Top hall in this city, last
Sunday evening. The cast had BEEN
working overtime, under the. direction
of John T. Janda, during the past
month, reheapsing their parts for the
evening. The entertainment COM
prised two comedies and the dramatis
personae ably filled their respective
parts.
Glencoe: Glencoe talent scored a
bulls eve in the presentation of
Seven Days. an excellent farce, pre-
scented on Friday and Saturday nights,
April Is and 16, at the city hall before
audiences that filled every available
seat and the standing room just in
side the entrance. 1t may be said
that the performance was given by an
organization of unusual merit, each of
whom contributed full share to the
success of the entertainment.
"Seven Days" is a clever skit,
screamingly funny and teeming with
humorous complications which crowd
one upon another The play was
given for the benefit of st. Georges
church; the box Office receipts for the
two nights being 1858.

DOGS GUARD SIclLIAN HOMES
"Italian Bulldogs" as They Have Been
Nicknamed, Obviate Need for
Locks lon Doors.

In Sicily the inhabitants have trained
dogs to protect their homes against
brigands and other lawless characters.
These Sicilians on leaving their homes
seldom bother to lock doors or win
dows. They have trained their dogs
so we'll that the animals can take care
of the most cunning of criminals.
When thief enters one of these
homes the dog does not attack him. He
receives him in silence, even wagging
his tail sometimes in apparent friend
illness.
But no matter where the thief may
go, the dog follows, never losing sight
of him for moment. He follows the
thief from room to room. The thief
may load himself up with all the loot
he likes, but the dog views his thiev-
ing with Indifference.
1t Is not until the thief attempts to
leave the pace that the dog displays
any real interest in him. He then be-
comes remarkably active. He jumps
in front of the culprit, barring his way
and defying him to attempt to leave.
If the thief makes a break for the
door or window the dog is upon him.
AS rule the animal springs for the
throat, but wherever he sinks his teeth
nothing short of death can make him
release his hold.
If the intruder attempts to draw
weapon the dog is upon him like flash
of lightning. These dogs have been
nicknamed italian bulldogs, but they
are, of a mongrel breed with just a
trace of the genuine bulldog in their
blood. They more closely resemble
olfhounds.-North Clinton Herald.

Japanese Tea Party

The Delta ARha's enjoyed an extra
treat this month.
Mrs. Annie Wallace and Mrs. la
jackson gave a japanese Tea Party
at the nome Of the formers. The hal
and dining room had been made es-
pecially attractive with japanese
decorations of different kinds.
Is small electric lights alternately
chrysanthemuns and the warmth
from the fireplace greeted the guests
as they entered. Everything was
carried out in regular japanese fash
ion, and the hostesses and helpers
We're in japanese costumes.
An exceptionally fine musical pro-
gram was rendered as follows: Piano
solos by Mrs. Bernice Burnham and
Mrs. Glee Raymore. Mrs. lila Jack
son sang, "a japanese Love Song"
Mrs. Carrie Lawson, "a Japanese
Fantasy" and Mrs. Glee Raymore,
''The Japanese Maiden"
All were then asked to write eight
lines using the letters cold Japan"
as initial letters. Mrs. A. A. Niles
wrote this:
OH how | love this class!
Long may it live and last,
Down the long road of bliss,
Just travel the way like this;
Among your members are many.
Poets, singers but dull not any,
And it would be hard to say
Now, just what you lack any way.
Glee Raymore won first place
among the class members, as follows:
Over the ocean. deep and wide,
Lies Japan, in all her pride
Drowsy orient land.
Jolly maids with sandeled feet,
Among the cherry blossoms sweet,
Pour their tea and seem content;
A life of pleasure there is spent,
Meath tropical skies.
Another surprise and treat awaited
the company as they entered the din
ing room where Mrs. Annie Wallace
and Mrs. lila Jackson underneath a
bower of nisteria and chrysanthe
NUNS, knelt Japanese fashion, be-
hind their tabourets ready to pour the
tea. Mrs. Emma Howard assisted in
serving. The napkins, dishes and tea
pots were. all japanese as well as the
refreshments, which consisted of
chop suey eaten with chop-sticks,
sandwiches, Japanese cookies and tea
poured from a tea pot from Japan,
were all delicious, made more so by
the burning of incense during the
lunch. Especial mention should be
madei of those white frosted cookies,
upon which were traced the sacred
mountain of Japan. Artist unknown.
There were neary SO at this tea
party and everyone's verdict was,
lone of the best times ever had"
There was only one draw back to
the days enjoyment, the absence of
the beloved teacher of the class, Mrs.

PLANTS GUARDED BY NATURE
AS mnfants," the SapIings Are by NO
Means Defenseess Against In
jury From Fire.

Young long-leaf plants protect them
selves against forest fires in most
interesting and remarkable way. For
four or five years the stems OF the
infant trees attain height OF only
as many inches above the soil. Dur
ing this time their bark is eXtraordl-
narily thick, and that alone gives some
protection. But in addition the long
needles spring up above the stem, ana
then bend over on all sides in green
cascade which falls to the ground in
a circle about the seeding.
This green barrier can, with din
Guilty, be made to burn, while the
shade that it casts prevents inflamlna-
Bile grass from growing near the pro-
tected stem.
1t is thought that it is owing to
this peculiar system of self-protec-
ton which the pine seedlings have
developed that the growth of the ever
green oaks in Florida has been re-
stricted in regions where fires have
ragged, while pure pine forests have
taken their place.
