called him Father Martin" One
Christmas Eve, Father Martin, who
had been reading the story of the
three Wise Men who brought their
gifts to the Infant Jesus, said to him.
self:
eff only tomorrow were the first
Christmas Day and the Savior were
coming to this world tonight, how I
would serve and adore Him! I know
very we'll what I would give Him."
He arose and took from a shelf two
little shoes. Here is what I would
give Him; my finest work! How
pleased His Mother would be! But
what am I thinking of" he continued,
smiling. "Does the Savior need my
poor shop and my shoes?"
That night Father Martin had a
dream. He thought that the voice of
Jesus Himself said to him:
Martin, you have wished to see Me.
Watch the street tomorrow from
morning until evening, for shall pass
your window. But you must try your
best to recognize Me, for I shall not
make Myself known to you.'s
When he awoke the next morning
Father Martin, convinced that what
he had dreamed would surely take
place, FASTENED to put his shop in or
der, lighted his fire, drank his coffee,
and then seated himself at the
window to watch the passersby. He
had often seen the picture of Jesus
in the churches, so he felt sure he
| would know Him when He went by.
The first person he saw was a poor
street sweeper who was trying to
warm himself-for it was bitter cold.
Poor man." said Martin to him.

STORY OF ST. ANTHONY.

A highly instructive story which
elucidates something of the virtue of
humility is told of st. Anthony. The
Saint was living in the wilderness,
where he led a hard and very strict
life, superior in this respect, perhaps,
to any led by others of the time.
Once, however. there came to him
a voice from Heaven, which said:
Anthony, thou art not so perfect
as is a cobbler that dwelleth in Alex
andria."
When he heard this, the great
Saint took his staff and travelled I'M
til he came to Alexandria and found
the cobbler. The latter was surpris-
ed to see so reverend a father come
to his house.
Anthony said to him: "Come and
tell me thy whole conversation, and
how thou spendest thy time
Sir" said the cobbler, "as for me,
goods works have l none, for my life
is but simple and slender; am but a
poor cobbler. In the morning, when
rise, I pray for the whole city
wherein / dwell, especially for all
such neighbors and poor friends as
have. After, set me at my labor,
where / spend the whole day in get
ting my living, and keep me from all
falsehood, for hate nothing SO much
as do deceitfu1ness.
Wherefore, when make any man
a promise keep it, and perform it
truly; and thus I spend my time poor
ly with my wife and children, whom
teach and instruct as far as my
wit will serve me, to love and fear
God. And this is the sum of my SIM
pie life.'

AN oLD-FAsHIoNED FATHER.

In his booklet, 'The Christian Fa-

lates the following: while was a
student, once spent my vacation with
"a good Catholic family i'm the western
part of Switzerland. We were just
at dinner when the door opened and
the eldest son entered. He had been
at college in southern Germany and
joyfuIly returned home for his vaca-
ton. I noticed that the fathers
countenance suddenly wore frown,
and before his son had closed the door
behind him, he called out, Where

MIXED PRoNoUNs.

Laura liked to play hooky, but had
difficulty in getting away with it, be-
cause every time she was absent from
school the teacher sent note to her
mother. So one day she decided to
try if she could not scircumvent this
embarrassing procedure. From pay
station she got the teacher on the
wire, and said, Disgusting her voice as
well as she was able:
Il am calling up to tell you that
Laura Lewis will not be at school to-
day"
"Oh, all right replied the teacher.
WHO is this speaking"
And poor Laura, to the unexpected
question, answered:
"This is my mother" -Everybody's.

To Gods just law, then pray for them

Remember them. in dire distress they

With none to pray for them, alone
they grope
In their deep night, forgotten, they
still hope
That you will pray today for their

The poor abandoned souls, God grant

God rest their souls! Release them
from the fire
That purges them from sin, grant
their desire.
Our aims will aid them, how this

position of the Far Eastern delegates as outsiders" sent to the conference by an unrecogniZed government, the inclination in many conference circles was not to take the development very seriously. At the same time, the ac- cusations attracted widespread atten- tion.
 Naval experts alone worked today, studying technical details remaining to be settled in connection with the na- val agreement. It was said their de night that all the loose ends of the settlement probably could be cleared away within few days. If questions of policy raised by the submarine reg ulation proposals can be settled in time, the conference leaders believe that the five-power naval treaty can be put into definite form this week.
 Naval Experts Continue
 Tomorrow, naval experts will con tinue their work, and the sub-commit- tee appointed to formulate a new tar if program for China also will meet Other naval and Far Eastern ques- tions will occupy attention Of the other delegates in inforaml confer ences.
 The question of proposed restric- tions on submarine warfare is regard ed by all delegations as the most trou- blesome of the unsolved naval prob- lens. The first of the Root submarine resolutions, reaffirming adherence to the existing principles of international law, has been accepted by the five powers; but the second and third, pro- posing still more stringent restrictions on the use of underwater craft, are leading to much controversy.
 Under the second resolution, the five powers would join in an agree ment that in any future war among them, submarines would not be used as commerce destroyers. The United States and Great Britain alone have acceded to this proposition, Japan and Italy have adopted a non-committal attitude toward it, and the French have shown some inclination at least to propose notifications.
 Expect Further Changes
 The delay is taken as strengthening the possibility that France may have some qualifications or further changes to suggest before she gives assent. Among some of the French there is a feeling that merchant ships should not be permitted to arm if they are to be free from submarine attack. In other quarters, it is proposed that some restrictions should also be placed upon the disguising of war yes sells to make them look like innocent merchantmen.

marine commander who violates inter- national law. Acceptance of this pro- posal is regarded as hinging in some degree on the final action taken re- garding the second resolution, but it is hoped that both may be disposed of this week so that the substance of the decisions reached can be embod- jed in the naval treaty.
 With the naval settlement, in final form, there seems to be general conf dence that the Far Eastern slate Can be wiped clean in time to permit ad- journment of the conference by about the middle of January. The Shantune deadlock remains the greatest barrier to Far Eastern accord, but the Jap anese tonight expressed renewed hope of a sttlement and the Chinese held to the refusal to regard tn present i'm passe as a final failure to agree.

Rriand Wants Alliance

LONDON, Jan. 2.-On the eve of his departure for Cannes, Premier Briand gave a statement to the Daily Mails correspondent in Paris, the gist of which follows:
 .'The key to the whole European sit uation is Frances safety. Let there first of all be a pact or alliance be- tween Great Britain and France - a pact which we offered and asked for, but have not obtained.
 Such pact would be the platform on which the reconstruction of Europe could be best based. It would also be the best proof that our naval building program is not, and never can be, di- rected against our English friends.
 "To such pact, other alliances, em- bracing our other allies, might be at tached, perhaps in the form of Pa cific pact But Franco-British pact must be the kernel, the basis of them all"
 The correspondent says Briand spoke with marked feeling, almost dis tress, of the comment evoked in Great Britain and America concerning the attitude of the French delegation at the Washington conference.

Wilson Refuses to

 Staged by Rickard

BOSTON, Jan. 2. - Marty Killilea, manager for Johnny Wilson, middle- weight boxing champion. announced today that he was notifying Tex Rick ard, of New York, that Wilson would not take part in a proposed. match with Harry Greb at New York next month. Killilea stated that Rickard made it a condition of paying Wilson the $35,000 purse which was held up after his bout with Bryan DOwney at Jersey City, Labor Day, that Wilson agree to meet Greb under Rickard' s management. Because it was on this condition only that he could obtain the money, Killilea said Wilson felt no compunction about withdrawing from the match.
