"Joan had nothing abouthIsiooks,
or actions, Or color, that attracted
the particular attention OF any body.
When he first breathed thu vital
ali, he was simply boy. baby, with
two hands, two feet. two eyes, two
ears, one mouth, and one nose. He
did not laugh and GROW and sit up.
right, as young geriuses do In their
young ba6yhood, but he slept and
walked, and ate. baby food, OF course, .
and cried like any common baby. !,
When he grew older there we're no
uncommon developments, except
that he was fat and healthy and
heavy. n.
Nobody congratulated hss mother
on raising future President, nor
applauded the bright genius that
sparkled In the baby's eyes, The
gossipers looked wonderingly at
each other as the tender mother
watched over her baby boy, provided
for his comforts. and pressed him to
her warm bosom,
He grew to boyhood. but he was
|nniy common boy. He learned
his A BE with dffilculty. and was
slow In learning to real. His teach
er thought he never woulds'ges thro'
the multiplication table, But he
never forgot IL. y
When the boys went a>flshing, Joa
went too; but he was slow In gets
ing his hook and line ready. The
other boys were on aud In and
around the lake before his hook was
fairly settIed in the water. sToo
slow too move.'' the boys would say
THe'il stt there expecting the tish to

the " fish wouldn't bite.s'
Joa's home was full Of life aud
noise aud hustle of intelligent oide,
|childfen, and bright younger ones. -
Joa found himself, and everybody
else found him, solitary and alone,
taking very little notice of the stil
around him.
When he grew to be man, the
bustling drivc-aheads laughed Mt his
piodding; but ty some means he
seldom made q mistake, aud. though
he did not seem to accomplish as
much Ia a week as many others did
Ia day yet, ut the end OF year
there was slwsys something tangible
In his results, while the work of

Men eminent In the professions re-
spect his Judgment. Business men

In your last evenings issue i notice
comments on the expected arrival in
our midst Of members Of two very emf
nent orders, viz: the Jesuits and the
Christian Brothers. The former, if in
vited, will require no subscription to
make payments on property they may
find it desirable to purchase for school
house; therefore, they will be no ad-
ditional expense to the community. /
hope and trust both may be invited, but
in the case Of the Jesnits, their arrival
has been so constantly promised and
anticipated during the past two years
that our non-Catholic citizens are more
than ready to welcome and patronize
them. A CATHOLIC.
