HOW BESSIE SAVED HER UNCLE.

A seaman named Frank Moore once
deserted from the Belgian steamer
Rhynland in Philadelphia and that is
a criminal offence in most countries.
He escaped detection for a long
time until he ventured into Belgium
and was recognized by former ship
mate. He was arrested, tried and
convicted, and thrown into prison at
Antwerp to serve term of imprison-
ment.
One day there arrived for King Leo
pold of Belgium a letter and it read
so strangely that the kings private
secretary laid it at once before his
Majesty.
1t was from Bessie Keim, niece of
the prisoner living in Philadelphia,
and pleaded for the release of her
uncle. Bessie had never written to a
king before and her letter was not
couched in diplomatic language. She

OCTOBER BELLS.
written for The Catholic Bulletin
by DR.. James Henderson,

Out on the void like the list of dreams
The October bells go ringing,
MelIowing far DER the woodland
streams
Their soft tongues gaily swinging;
Something so weird in their silver say
ing,
Something so sweet to call us hith-
er,
Outward they go in their rhythmic
swaying,
Setting the lone ways all aquiver.
Setting the heartstrings, making ten
Throbbing thoughts in the hearts
deep hold,
Stirring fires that had died to, ember
And dull grey ashes did enfold.
Clapper and rope and the deep re-
sounding,
Echo on echo they speed afar
If to follow some gay plume bounding,
In Autumn's woodland gay Ne
varre

Lisping beyond their rhythm of
song,
Over the void where the Dawn re.

And day-dream chariots wheel

Gladstone bells, and no sad bemoan

Mass bells sweet on the morning air
Evening bells with October setting
Vespers sweet of the falling leaves
Down where the shadows half regret

Murmur low meath the hanging

| No ruffle of feather disturbs, dissem
bles,
No bird-call sounding, no fitting
wing
Where lone Octobers echoes tremblt
And angel voices are carolfng.

CURIOUS TIMEPIEcEs.

the end of the hour-hand there is a
tiny clock, which keeps exact time
with the large clock This little
timepiece of course goes round and
round the larger dial "a wheel with

In a Swiss museum there is a
watch that is only three-siXteenths
of an inch in diameter. It is insert
ed in the top of an oid-fashioned
pencil-case such as our grandmothers
used to possess. Its dial indicates
not only hours, minutes and seconds,
but also days of the month.

Work of the Order.

WORK OF the OTQSF.
In this as in the old country the
Crosier Fathers educate boys for the
priesthood In Holland and Belgium
they have three large colleges. Their
students are at liberty either to join
the secular clergy or to devote their
lives to God and to their neighbor
within the safe enclosure of a re-
ligious order. A great many priests,
secular as well as regular, all over
the world, have received their educa-
ton at the colleges of the Crosier
Fathers. The Rt Rev. Bishop Rutten
of Liege was one Of their students
Scores of their pupils became mis-
sionaries in darkest Africa, the Indies
and China or Mongolia. Some years
ago they accepted mission in Africa,
in the Belgian Congo, and their
priests and lay-brothers have since
been working quite successfully in
that heather country.
1t is the intention of the Crosier
Fathers Of Onamia to educate boys
for the priesthood, either secular
or religious, and, in particular,
as missionaries both in America
and in foreign countries accord
ing to the wish of the Holy Fa-
Their and the expressed desire of the
Church that those studying for the
priesthood be from their childhood
separated from the seduction of
worldly surroundings. Besides, they
give missions and retreats, and have
charge of mission places and are ever
willing, when requested, to render as
sistance to the secular clergy They
have also opened novitiate for young
men willing to join their Order, either
as Clerics or as Laybrothers.
First Prior Elected.
On September IA, the Feast of the
Exaltation of the Cross and the
Patron Feast Of the Church at Onamia,
the first Prior was elected. The Very
Rev. w. Van Dinter, who had been
charged with the direction of his Con-
freres in America during the twelve
years past, was unanimously elected.
After the election the first novice, a
young man of Irish descent, named
Branden, was invested in the white
habit of the Order and received the
black scapular with a white and red
Cross, and the black mozzetta, the
distinction of Canons.
Comparing the present with the
past we may certainly wonder at
the changes brought about at Onamia.
Some twelve years ago there were
hardly any Catholics at that place and
no church. Today thanks to the bless
| ing of God and the endeavors of the
Fathers of the Holy Cross, there is a
nice Catholic church and some 40
Catholic families. A large public
school was purchased and moved on
the premises of the church and more
than forty Catholic children are being
taught there by Ursuline Sisters, from
Gilmore, N. Oak. They reside in the
former rectory, abandoned by the
Fathers as soon as their Monastery
was ready.
There exists a kind of spiritual re-
lationship between the Ursuline Sis
ters and the Crosier Fathers. ST.

There is still much speculation here
as to just how Senator Kellogg will
meet the whirlwind campaign that
Mrs Olesen has in mind. She is per-
sonality to be reckoned with in any
political fight, and she is going to
make a personal appeal to the voters
from one end of the state to the
other. Many friends Of Senator Kel-

of election seem as ten to one to any
possible chance for Mrs. Olesen, new
ertheless he may feel compelled him
