RAISED FIRST CIVIL WAR MoNu.
MENT.


The unique distinction OF having
erected the first soldiers monument
TO commemorate the death OF those
who persisted in suppressing the Con,
federacy" belongs to the little town Of
kensington, Conn. For fifty years a
slender shaft of plain, brown sand
stone, hewn from the famous Con-
necticut river quarries at Portland,
mas held the place Of honor on the
kensington green and served as q fit.
ting memorial to six boys from the
village who died fighting in the early
part of the Civil war.
The history of the Kensington mon
ument Is an interesting one. In March,
1868, when the contract for the monu-
ment was originally made, the fate of
the nation was still hanging in the
balance. Several months before the
great victory of Gettysburg, at the
patriotic instigation of Rev. Elias B.
Hilliard, pastor of the Kensington
Congregational church, the agitation
Tor a soldiers monument began. When
$3.50 had finally been raised by public
subscription, the designing o. the
monument was entrusted to a local
artist OF some note, who working along
conventional lines succeeded admir-,
ably in. producing simple, dignified
monument of pleasing proportions. As
result few towns the size OF Ken.
slngton have soldiers monuments
which serve their patriotic purposes
as we'll as this one, for unfortunately
it is apt to be the exception rather
than the rule when soldiers monu
ment of Civil war origin does not have
quite the opposite effect

What's the difference?" asked the
man.
"A difference Of 80 cents in this
case," replied the agent "The lower

price is for the lower. II you want it
lower, you'll have to go higher. We
sell the upper lower than the lower.
In other words. the higher the lower.

LlFE's MIRROR.

There are loyal hearts, there are spir-
its brave,
There are souls that are pure and
true;
Then give the world the best you have
And the best will come back to you.
Give love, and love to your life will
flow,
A strength in your utmost need;
Have Faith, and score of hearts will
show
Their faith in your word and deed.
Give truth, and your gift will be paid
In kind,
And honor will honor meet;
And a smile that is sweet will surely
find
A smile that is just as sweet.
For life is the mirror Of king and
slave;
'Tis just what we are and do;
Then give to the world the best you
have,
And the best will come back to you.

out at the glorious sunset for it ap-
peared to her that she had never
gazed upon such wonderful one be-

thought, "if earth Is SO beautiful
Far beyond the western horizon she
was looking into the future wondering
what it had in store for her.
Tomorrow Eileen was to graduate
from dear St Joseph's, the only home
and school she had ever known.
She had been brought to the Con.

babe, her parents having both died
when Eileen was a wee little tot but
a few weeks old
The good Sisters cared for the
motherless child. nursed her and
spared no strength in doing all in
their power to bring her up In the love
and fear Of God. Eileen loved the

any wonder then, that Eileen felt sad
when she thought Of parting with
those whom she loved?
She had now grown to beautiful
womanhood, tall and we'll developed
not handsome as story books tell
about, but such a lovely face that one
never forgets.
The eventful day arrived and Eileen
graduated with the highest honors

Time wore ON. for years and NO
papa returned. Eileen was Obliged ia
return to her work again, that she
might be able to support her dear
child and her self.
She soon noticed that her child had
vocation and earnestly prayed that
the Good God would direct her
Francis and that IL it be His holy
VIM He would grant him all the
graees necessary for his holy calling.
Never q day passed that those two
pure souls neglected to pray for the
missing link ia this holy chain. God
has His own designs, His ways are
not ours.
When Francis graduated from
school, he called his loving mother to
his side and told her Of his Intentions,
how he heard God calling him to
preach to His sheep without shep-
herd, in far OF distant lands.
Naturally, the parting was hard,
as was the parting Of Jesus and Mary.
Eileen accepted the sacrifice and
blessed her darling boy q Thousand
times. She realized that he belonged
to God, that he was only lent to her
to guide and direct him to do Gods
Will.
After years of hard study, the
happy day arrived, when for the first
time he held In his anointed hands
the Victim of our salvation. oh! the
joy Of this youthful Christ, a. this
Supreme moment, when the Court of
Heaven listened to those. solemn
words OF conservation. This IL my
Body, this Is my Blood" When for
the first time his dear mother re-
ceived the Sacred Host from his
hands. her JOY knew no bounds.

rest at his dear home, he, babe his

taught her darling child to utter for
the first time the holy Names of
Jesus, Mary and Joseph. In all his
little childish sorrows he went to his
dear Jesus and told him all about
them. How he loved to prattle his
baby talk about his ''Dood Desus" as
he used to call Him.
Time flew on, like a peaceful river
until one unhappy day, a simple word
was said Internationally. Charles
Hadley took offense and vowed he
would never enter the church again
Imagine poor Eileen, she talked and
tried to reason with him All was Of
no avail. his poor proud spirit was
wounded and he would not relent.
Eileen had noticed his failing before
their marriage and had warned him
OF its fatal affects but he allowed 1t
to grow until it seemed almost i'm.
possible to remedy it. He became SO
hardened that he told Eileen to take
their cherished Crucnfix from the wall,
where it had hung for two years and
had given them so much consolation
in all their little troubles. ooh!

cruel. don't ask me to remove the
Crucifix." In a ut of anger. he pulled
It from the wall. leaving his coy little
home and his heart-broken ELLEN

sorrow and anguish filled her pure
young soul!
When little Francis came in to say
his morning prayers, he missed his
Cruciix and cried out, Where is my
Desus, my dood dear Degus? oh!

papa"
Poor Eileen knew not what to say
How heart-rending it was to listen to
her darling asking for those two
whom she loved 90 much.

After years Of hardships and labor,

After years Of hardships and labor.
Father Francis was preaching the
last sermon at the Mems Mission.
He pleaded hard for one poor sinner
who had strayed away, from the
sheepfold and asked all present to
plead with him to the Sacred Heart
for this one erring soul. Blessing his
hearers he left the pulpit.
While he was praying in the Sac
ristry an old lame man staggered to
the spot where the Mission Father
was pleading with our Divine Lord
for the return of his erring father.
The aged man embraced his only child,
weeping bitterly. begging forgiveness
and placing in his sons hands his
coveted Crucifix, "his 'Dood Desus,'
which he had always with him since
that sad and lcnely night, when in a
At of anger he actually dragged it
from its resting place.
Surely at that moment there was
Joy in heaven and God had heard and
answered the many prayers Of years
which had been waited on angels
wings to His Throne in heaven.
After confession Of many years
with heartfelt sorrow, this poor prod

House. francis, my baby boy" he
exclaimed. "you have haunted me
every moment Of my life, your image
was ever before me, could not chase
you away, you fingered by my side,
you held me by the hand, you led me
here tonight, my darling baby boy,
surely A Little Child Has Led Me-
prepare me for my last journey, am

Before another sunset, Charles
Hadley was with his God. Dear faith
full Eileen, after years Of penance and
modification, passed from this world
of sorrow to the joys of Paradise to
receive the reward which awaits those
who suffer patiently for the love Of
the Sacred Heart.
Father Francis Is still on the Mis-
sions, praying for the lost sheep and
begging his faithful ones to pray for
