VACATIONS.

This Isl the season of vacations
when everyone seeks a respite from
1aily routine or from the intense sum
mer heat by vacation trips, weekend
outings or sea-shore resorts lin some
cases even an ocean voyage.
During. the World War how many of
our willing workers were so anxious
not to let the vacation period inter
fere with their work for our brave
soldiers at the Front that they took
their knitting with them. Nor did they
Interrupt their monetary contribu-
lions. Their motto was give till it
hurts"
There is another brave army at the
Front-too often forgotten-ighting
heroically a great battle-the battle of
Christ for souls. These are the mis-
sionaries who have left home, country
and all dear in life, to enlist as
soldiers of the Cross. They are max
ing every sacrifice, in many cases, the
supreme one,. for Sierre Leone, in
Africa, is called the white Mans
Grave" In Africa alone there, are
more than 16O,OO0,00O souls who have
never received the light of Faith.
The Mohammedans and other sects
ire working hard to gain them. In 20
or 80 years it will be too late to try
20 win them to the Catholic Faith.
Dur heroic missionaries need the
spiritual aid of our prayers and
material help of donations. Will we
refuse it to them? Let us have the
same motto as we had during the war
-"Give until it hurts and let us act
upon it NOW during the vacation
season.

nah by bravely covering it's retreat.
Among the blacks who rendered
signal services at thatV time were:
Andre, Beauvais, Rigaud, Villatte,
Beauregard, Lambert, who latterly be-
came generals under the convention,
including Henri Christophe, the future
King of Hayti.'
The Haytian legion in the army of
Comte d'Estaing was known as Fon-
tages' legion, commanded by Vicomte
de Fontages. They met the fierce
charge of Lieutenant Colonel Maitland
and saved the retreating F'ranco-Amer-
lean army from total disaster.
The Haytian people know that the
great American nation, burning for
liberty and justice, having the high
est traditions of political ideals and
human solidarity, the champion of the
defenseless peoples of the world, is
always working for the happiness OF
mankind.
Having aided the united colonies of
North America in 1879 to achieve their
independence, the Haytian people re-
main convinced that they can today
expect from the spirit of justice and
humanity of the American people and
their present government a more
attentive consideration of Hayti's
freedom rights and interests.

COLONEL REPoND, WHO URGED
PUTTING VATICAN ON WAR
FOOTING, RESIGNS.

Colonel Repond who was called to
be commander of the Swiss guards at
the Vatican during the pontificate of
Plus X and who gained considerable
distinction because of his efforts to
place the 20 soldiers who compose the
guard on a war footing" has resigned.
Pope Benedict has appointed Colonel
the corps, to succeed him.
Colonel Repond was an officer of the
Swiss regular army and came to the
Vatican under the impression that he
would give the Pope's bodyguard
more martial spirit. They were put on
strict military discipline, aroused at
4:30 a. m. AMI put through drills in
the most rigid fashion. The 70 men
were taken out on the Belvedere court,
inside the Vatican gardens and given
maneuvers.
One day Colonel Repond had an
audience with His Holiness Plus X
and laid before him plans for the
terrifying of the Vatican. These in
cluded the placing of cannon on the
roof of st. Peters. The Holy Father
looked upon the colonel smiling one
of his benign smiles and said:
Cannon? What for? Not to
shoot?"
mo, your holiness replied the colo
nell
well, then?' Intercepted the ven
cradle pontiff
The colonel did not answer and he
was excused.
Colonel Repond had also issued to
the Swiss guards a certain amount of
ammunition. One day a guard began
shooting near the barracks. The re-
port stirred the whole Vatican. The
issue Of cartridges was ordered pro-
hibited and the guards deprived of
those they still had.
This was the last attempt of the
colonel to institute war tactics The
guards continue to use the fifteenth
century halberd when on duty.

"THlNk OF HE'LL, BUDDY!"

Think of He'll, Buddy"
This reminder from policeman was
enough to change the plans of a
prisoner who, in attempting to escape
from Moyamensing Jail in Philadel-
phia, had crawled to a narrow edge of
the building and stood trembling 100
feet above the concrete pavement.
Patrolman Edward Kineavy, a
member of st. John the Baptists
parish, was the man who uttered the
solemn words of caution. He had
followed the prisoner-George Scheel-
er, aged twenty-three-to his perilous
position and found the young man
making an effort to edge his way
along the shelf of brick only ten
inches wide.
Young fellow, l wouldn't take the
chance you're taking if were facing
a murder charge Patrolman Kineavy
called to Scheeler. Don't make one of
us go armed after you because you
have to come back some time. Take
my tip and crawl back. Think of

wait "a minutes; give me a chance
I'll come back as quick as l can"
said Scheeler, when he had begun to
measure the danger. And come back

FAMOUS RED HEADS.

Dan Carey of the N. Y. Herald"
staff is evidently red-haired man.
He's as clever as any of them, any
way, and they are all nightly clever,
according to his account. He advises
the reader to pass lightly over Cain
and Judas Iscariot, both of whom had
red hair, and concentrate on the fol-
lowing: King David, that sweetest of
all singers; julius Caesar, Catherine
de Medici, Samson, Absolom, Thack-
cray, Bunyan, Andrew Jackson, Mary
Queen of Scots, James Russell Lowell,
Joel Chandler Harris, Swinburne, Will
liam Rufus, Thomas Hobbies, General
u. s. Grant, Peter the Great, Bar
barossa and Bernard Shaw. OF course,
that is but a tiny partial list, but it
serves to show the style of people who
are red haired.
Every one, sooner or later, wants to
be an angel. Well, here is what Pol
lok, in his Course of Times" says
about the cherubim in his wonderful
description of dawn:
AS though the glorious, golden, bushy
locks
Of a thousand cherubims had been
.shorn off
And in the temples hung of morn and
cen.
1t is also true that Coleridge in his
"Ancient Mariner" writes:
Nor dim nor red, like Gods own head,
The glorious Sun uprist.
Some authorities insist that he, was
referring to the sun, but still it is a
question.
Did you ever see a red headed vii
lain on the stage? Certainly not You
can trust the theatrical boys for de-
tail. When they put a stiletto into
some ones hand with instructions to
cut woman's throat or ease it
between the shoulder blades of the
hero they pick out a black-haired man
with a swarthy complexion for the
deed. Who steals the papers, who car
ries the child to London, who binds
the hero to the railroad track, who
filings the body of the unconscious
heroine in front of the approaching
circular saw? Why, it's fellow in
riding breaches and a pair of patent
leather boots whose hair is as black as
crows wing. That's realism.
Why, red is the most glorious color
in nature. 1t predominates in the sun
set, it is the color of the most precious
metal in the world, it is the color of
the sun that lights our world by day
and of the stars that glorify it by
by night. A great painter once sought
to perpetuate the beautiful women of
his time and from him we learned of
Titan tints.

CHANGES IN SURNAMES.

Professor McKenna, for many years
a leading instructor in various col
leges and other seats of learning in
Illinois, has given the literature of
nomenclature a fine addendum in his
little book, "Surnames."
What's in a name? Well, take Ma
poleon, for instance. 1t means "the
lion of Naples" When the young Ma
poleon was old enough to know about
his name, he said to have remarked:
"Since the lion is the king of beasts,
/ shall be as my father always was,
generous to my friends, but relentless
to my enemies"
According in the same authority,
when he became leader of men,
unique in modern times and with few
parallels in by-gone ages, he declared
that every soldier carried in his KNAPP
sack the baton of marshal of France
Next to being born with a name, the
right thing to do, therefore, is to make
that name count for something. Pro-
fessor McKenna's point of view is not
the distractions of morality. How
modern names came to be, what
changes they have undergone, etc., it
is his purpose to submit. All names
carry with them the origin, nationality,
and, in many cases; the early occupa-
ton of their owners. We may smile
at such name as Shocks, but at one
time it was Seven Oaks, and those
that bore it thus were active in the
hopyards of Kent, England. Whitecar
is now Whitaker, because the Scotch
some centuries ago, pronounced White
car Whitaker. All the Sidneys were
originally st. Denises, all the Seymours
ST. Maurs.
The Norman French nomenclature is
the teeming mine of names that in all
sorts of changes have come down to
the present time. Such is the case of
the Anglo-Saxon, the German, the
British and the various estates like
the church and the army, if the latter
may be so designated. The Bible is
the source of whole census of names.
These and others in countless modi-
fcations have been handed down from
bleeding sire to resting son, but each
after some fashion can be traced back
by the historical data carried in each.
This applies mainly to family names.
Given names are descriptive and or
namental to a finer degree. Matilda
Shocks would be ga lady of honor.
from Seven Oaks by this token.

LEARN TO LET GO.

y
One of the most practical and alb
solutely truthful bits of philosophy
that has appeared in a long time was
recently published in Medical Talk on
the wisdom Of letting CO." Says
the writer:
If you want to be healthy morally,
mentally and physically, just let go.
Let go of the little bothers of every
day life, the irritations and the pet
ty vexations that cross our path daily.
Don't take them up and nurse them,
pet them and brood over them They
are not worth while Let them go.
That little hurt you got from a
friend, perhaps it wasn't intended,
perhaps it was; but never mind, let it
go. Refuse to think about it.
Let go of that feeling of hatred you
have for another, the jealousy, the
envy, the malice, let go of all such
thoughts. Sweep them out of your
mind, and you will be surprised what
cleaning up and rejuvenating effect
it will have upon you, both physical
ly and mentally. Let them all go; you
house them at deadly risk.
! But the big troubles, the bitter dis
appointments, the deep wrongs and
notwithstanding sorrows. the tragedies
of life, what about them? Why, just
let them go, too. Drop them, softly
maybe. but surely Pnt away all re-
grets and bitterness, and let sorrow
be only d softenfng influence. Yes,

THE CHlLDREN'S HOUR.
HOW ST. FRANCIS tanned THE
WILD DOVES.
(From the Fioretti.)

A young man having one day
caught a great number of doves, as he
was going to sell them he met St,
Francis, who always felt great COM
passion for such gentle animals; and
looking at the doves with eyes of pity,
he said to the young man, 20 good
young man, entreat thee to give me
those harmless birds, emblems in
Scripture of humble, pure and faithful
souls, so that they do not fall into
cruel hands, which would put them to
DEATH" And the young man, inspired
by God, gave them Immediately to st.
Francis, who placed them in his bosom,
and addressed them thus sweetly: 20
my little sisters the doves, so simple,
so innocent, and so chaste, why did
you allow yourselves to be caught?
will save you from death, and make
you nests, that you may increase and
multiply, according to the command OF
God" And St. Francis made nests for
them all, and they began to lay eggs
and hatch them in the presence of the
brothers, and were as familiar and as
tame with st. Francis and the friars as
if they had been hens brought up
amongst them, and never did they go
away until ST. Francis had given them
his blessing. And st. Francis said to
the young man who had given them to
him, MY son, thou shalt become a
friar in this Order; thou shalt serve
most fervently the LORD Jesus Christ;
and so it was, for the young man be.

hension believes because it is inspired.

the world was made, before man had
fallen, God selected a young Jewish
maid to be the mother of His Son.
Consequently, she must be next in i'm
pOrtance to the triune Godhead. This
was the person who prophesied in the
hymn called the Magnificent that all
generations would call her blessed.
That was more than nineteen hundred
years ago. Our country, like all other
Protestant countries, denies this
statement by not so calling her and
by not giving her suitable honor. The
excuse given is that such honor would
rob God. Whoever heard of a good
son that did not like his mother hon
ored, even among us poor mortals:
and fancy the Son of God, the model
of all virtues, disappearing of it in
the case of His mother.
This is the terrible ignorance that
my arrows are shot against, and the

of God and obeys her statement is
really more learned in essential
