THEIR NAME is LEGION.

These remarks are from Father L..
Hermand, S. j.:
Regarding visits that the mission
aries in China make to the homes of
their Christians for the purpose of
baptizing children and administering
to the dying, a priest friend of mine
wrote me this: Once inside the
wretched holes one is conscious of
only one desire, and that is to get
out as soon as possible. The huts
consist of a single apartment with no
opening except the door. This room
is occupied by human beings, cows,
pigs, and chickens, and the live stock
are often more cleanly, relatively
speaking, than their owners
II agree wholly with the sentiment
of my friend. Heavens! the beasts
mentioned do not cause much annoy
ance. There are missionaries who
like to sleep beside a mule that
munches grain all night, or COW
chewing the cud. No, these good ami
mails do not constitute the discomfort
of the Chinese hut; there is another
form of life there, that is the real
pest, and it is hard indeed to enter
the aforesaid dwelling even for a few
moments without carrying away as
a souvenir some variety of vermin-
lice in the summer, fleas in winter,
bedbugs by night, and in between
times scorpions and other disagree
able midgets.
''Fleas form a mighty legion that
respects and fears nothing. For in
stance, not long ago / was called to
baptize an infant in a typical domi-
cile. Upon table my assistant neat.
ly laid a white. napkin, holy water,
holy oil, and the other requisites for
the sacraments. The act was the sig
nal for grand carouse on the part
of the small pests-a free for all tour
nament. The white cloth was splen-
did sporting ground and a goodly
band appeared and indulged in ground
and lofty tumbling and all the aero
batic feats possible to the breed.
II would not like to think how
many carried away on that occasion,
but l feel sure of one thing, they
would never be missed in that happy
Chinese home"

requiem. She did not know. She
herself was not Catholic; in fact,
she was Lutheran.
We referred to the statement that
Luther had objected to the sale of
indulgences. Yes, she knew about
that-but these were not ipdulgences;
they were Masses. -.
The editors of these piety maya
zines are undoubtedly pious persons.
But the circulation man is the devil
And of recent years he has demor-
allied the business of soliciting for
religious publications. A time there
was when the agent for a Catholic
paper was received as lay mission
ary; and that indeed is what he was,
and should be STILL But the circu-
lation methods of the piety maga-
zine have changed all that.

have never missed asking the Blessed
Virgin every day not to let me die
without a priest at my bedside, and

fail to answer my prayer? She can
not, and l shall not die"

Then he opened his coat and allowed
his pectoral cross to shine in the old
mans eyes. "Not only does she send

UNDER MARY'S CARE.

1t was during the time of Protest
ant persecution in Great Britain that
a Scotch bishop had to take refuge
one night in poor cottage, where on
a pallet lay an old shepherd who ap-
parently had not many moments to
live. To the words of encouragement
spoken by the bishop, he replied, II
am at peace, / shall not die "Of
course, I hope not" said the bishop;
but still it is always good thing to
get ready" Il tell you ] cannot pos

ORIGIN OF PASSION PLAY.

The Passion Play of Oberammer-
gau is the decennial fulfillment of a
VOW. When the Thirty Years War
gave a legacy of disease to Oberam-
mergau, the villagers vowed to play
the life of our Lord every ten years,
if the plague should abate.
In 1884, the play was presented for
the first time Every unmarried wom-
an and every man belonging to the
village is required, by the rules which
run. in the hamlet, to take some part
in the play. No artificial makeup is
permitted, the men being obliged to
let their hair and boards grow. The
play is more than a spectacle. It is
great act of faith and of perpetual
Thanksgiving on the part of the play
ers for the preservation of their an
cestors.

ing; sheer inability to know their own
mind; or infantile trustfulness. Two
classes of people lose money. says
Henry Ford: those who are too weak
to guard what they have; those who
win money by trick. They both lose
in the end The cause of the trouble
is a lack of knowledge of the law that
true gains must be earned, and true
increase must also be earned. Money

think that: other mems labor should

JOY.

Joy is not proof of thoughtful
ness, but of insight and understand
ing. There are some people who
shake their heads when they see chill
dren at play or listen to the laughter
of the young and say, "They will
know better after while" But joy.
BUSINESS belongs to wisdom, not to
ignorance. Those who are cast down
and detected do not see far enough.
Discouragement and sadness belong
to the surface of things. Sometimes
those who are boring for we'll have
to go very far down before they
come to water, but if they go deep
enough they reach the water at last.
And it is with JOY. On the sur.
face there may be disturbance, annoy
ance, perpleXity, distress, but il you
go far enough you come to faith and
certainty and joy.

Mrs. Paulsen used the :, Mother

earning the family expenses, and that

CONVERSIONS IN DENMARK.

properly speaking, for it was once a
child of the Church, but it is included
in the Apestolate, and receives the
support of The Society for the Propa-
CATION of the Faith Following is
Bishop Won Euch's recent report:
"For three years. now, there have
not been less than two hundred and
twenty converts a year, and l feel
justified in asserting that there is a
marked turning toward Catholicism in
Denmark.
Among the most noted OF our re-
cent converts is a colonel in the DAN
ish army. A well-written book on the
inspiration Of the Holy Scriptures
caused him to abjure Professionalism. y

She stated that the proceeds would

A good object, of course; but the
Catholic press ought not to be re-

appeal for the orphans should stand
on it's own merits. We said nothing
of this to the young lady. We were

THE THRUSH At sALLYeoWER

1 wonder in the evening, ~
In the dusky evening hour,
If thrush is singing sweetly
In the glen at Ballybower;
If his notes are rapturous, golden
AS on dusk-sweet ewes knew,
When the fairies crept to listen,
AS stood alone with you.
I'm hoping in the evening,
In the calm, sweet evening hour,
That there's sadness in a thrush s
song
In far-off Ballybower;
That lingering note Of longing
Falls upon your listening ear,
Stirring vague regrets and yearnings
For voice you cannot hear.

 ALTERNATIVES HALLOWEEN

The evening of october 31st Is known as the eve or vigil of AL hallows or All Saints Day and is an occasion of certain popular sup erstitions and observances in many Christian countries. fairies. witches and imps of all kinds being suppos- ed to be then especially active.
 Nome's youngsters took advan' tage of the privilege granted and immunity tacitly shown them to in- dulge in the pure. spirit of the oc- casion. On too many occasions in large towns actual damage is done and a real vicious tendency shown, in few instances such was the case in Nome.
 The w. J. Rowe Transfer equip ment provided an ample supply of material for the bunch to decorate the vicinity of the School House.
 Various householders arose the next morning to find their doors blocked, with logs. timbers, vehicies and what not; the streets were lin ed with barracades of wagons, oil drums and timbers.
 Albert Shagnon. janitor at the school, found the steps and landing of the building completely blocked with an array of articles that evi- denced some mighty hard work to place. The only reason the bell wasn't removed was because the hovs were unable to reach the roof of the building.
 Another phase of the evenings celebration was a large skating party on Snake river. A hugh bon fire was kept burning and those who indulged had a pleasant even- ing's enjoyment.
