Erin with the three and four-leaf sham
rock and the program of dances was SUIT
iciently long to enable all the dancers to
help usher in st. Patrick's day. Good
order was maintained, excellent music

of Hibernians went to Tacoma in the
morning and were banqueted by their
friends in the City of Destiny on st. Pat

hundred members of Division No. /, oil
the Ancient Order of Hibernians, of Sc.
attic, came over and marched at the
head of the parade, which moved at noon
with 500 mon in line. Some Of the Off

quite gorgeous, with green cropping out
everywhere, and usually above all wee
flag decorated with the stars and stripes
1t was the largest Irish parade that ever
took place in Tacoma. When formed II

IT is claimed that there are $500, OOO
able bodied men in the United States,
available for military service. But Of
course no such swarm Of fighters could
ever be modified in this or any other
country. It is when we come to enumer-
ate the men actually under arms in the
United States as trained and disciplined
soldiers we realize our present military
signifcance. Besides the little regular
army Of $500 men there is more or

assembled, respectfully invite the atten-
ton Of our fellow citizens, our oo.reli-.
giionists, and our co-workers in temper
ance to the following consideration:
There are in this country to-day about
.240N 600 saloons. lot one bar in all this
number IS necessary; not one can give q
good reason for it's existence. II all Of
them were closed no harm would come

all would be benefited. But each one
Of these places for the retail Of intoxicat-
ing drink draws annually on an average
not less than 5000 from the productive
industries Of our land, and the spending
Of this awful sum Of money, instead If
doing good, causes Unreasonable physi.
cal, mental, marital and moral harm to
the consumers OF the liquors. Should
not all join then in an effort to destroy
such an evil, and especially should not
each begin this work by pledging him
self to total abstinence? We ask favor
able consideration OF the usefulness OF
the local option laws of our state and the
adoption Of wise measures Of every nature
looking to the suppression of the drink
curse
To all interested in the propagation of
our Holy Faith we believe the cause Of
temperance offers an unexcelled oppor-
tunity. No single element OF evil causes
so many to fall away from the Church's
teaching, or obstructs so many in their
entrance to her blessed fold, or effects
the loss Of so many souls to God as does
the vice which total abstinence opposes.
]. We exhort our fellow-workers in the
total abstinence cause to continue their
courageous warfare against the rum
power; to keep preparing themselves by
prayer and study to better conduct the
fight, to combat the moderate drinkers,
plan as the chief cause of the evils of in
because in trying to follow
the example set by the moderate drinker
all the drunkards are. made. We urge
our members to make every effort to
build up our societies and the diocesan
and national unions, as the best method
of advancing our cause. Only thus can
we secure the strength which comes from
unity; in this manner can we best engen
der zeal and acquire knowledge on the
subject. We heartily appreciate the
good which has come to our movement
in this district since the names of our
mothers, wives and sisters have been
placed on the roll Of our Union, eepeci-
ally do We believe we have been greatly

The Child Character.

The first character of right child
hood is that it is modest. A well-bred
child does not think it can teach its
parents. or that it knows everything.
1t may think that its father and
mother know everything-perhaps
that all grown-up people know every
thing; very certainly it is sure that it
does not. And it Is always asking
questions, and wanting to know more.
A second character Of right child
hood is to be faithful. Perceiving that
its father knows best what is good for
it, noble child trusts him wholly,
gives him its hand, and will walk
blindfolded with him If he bids it.
A third character of right childhood
is to be loving and generous. Give
y little love to child and you get a
great deal back. 1t loves everything
near it when it is a right kind of a
child would always give the hest it
had away you needed it; does not lay
plans for getting everything in the
house for itself, and delights in help
ing people-you cannot please it so
much as by giving it a chance of be-
ing useful, in ever 80 little way.
And because of all these characters it
is cheerful.
Putting its trust in its father, it is
careful for nothing, being full of love
to every creature, it is happy always,
whether iI its play or it's duty.

They Repented and Went.

The following tale of woe illustrates
how repentance sometimes comes too
late:
An editor of comic paper whose
wife, daughter aud sister-in-law were
at the seaside, went by the husbands
train to join them on Saturday.
Before going he had bought himself
fashionable pair of trousers. On try
ing them on, they proved to be several
inches too long. When he arrived at
B., he took the trousers to his wife,
and asked her to cut off about six
inches and hem them over, The good
lady, who was not very we'll pleased
with the loud pattern, brusquely re-
fused. The same result followed an
application to his wife's sister and his
daughter.
But before bedtime the wife, relent-
ing, took them, and, cutting off six
inches from the legs, hemmed them
up nicely and put them on a chair.
Half an hour later, her daughter,
taken with compunction for her un-
filial conduct, took the trousers, and,
cutting off eight inches, hemmed and
replaced them. Finally the sister-in-
law felt the pangs Of conscience, and
she too, performed an additional sur
gical operation on the garment.
When the editor appeared at break
fast on Sunday the crowd around the
table thoughta Highland chieftaip had
arrived.

Ned's Dutch Marbles,

answered, offended.

Ned defended himself, "and III asso.
ciate with Americans who know how
to play American games"
"Pshaw Don't you know that the
game Of marbles was invented before
ever Americans were ?"
"Well, where did they get the mar
bles, I'd like to know They don't
know how to make them anywhere
else."
Don't they? That's where you
are mistaken. Most of the marbles are
made in the old country. Don't you
remember father teasing US about mar
bles coming higher this year, when
the papers were saying 40 much about
the protective tariff last winter ?"
"But one Of the boys said they do
not have the kind of clay out of
which to mold them anywhere
else ?"
"That was one of your patriotic
American boys, guess, who thinks il
smarter to brag about his country than
it is to learn the truth. Marbles don't
happen to he moulded of clay. Why
do they call them 'agates' ?"
"Don't know-that's the name, l
s'pose."
"But why not call them sandstones
or brick bats 4? Agate is kind of
stone, isn't it?"
"Yes; but you don't mean our
agates are cut out of stone ?"
II mean that they are broken and
ground out of agate"
"Broken 2"
Yes that's the first thing. They
use the small pieces from the quarries
and mills, breaking them into little
cubes with hammers"
'sBut how do they get them round ?'
"rhese small blocks of stone are
throne by the shovelful into the hop
per Of small mill, formed of bed
stone having its surface grooved with
concentric burrows; above this Is the
runner which is of hard wood, hav-
ing level face on its lower surface.
The upper block is made to revolve
rapidly, water being delivered upon
the grooves of the bed-stone where
the marbles are being rounded"
'"Isn't that dreadfully slow ?"
ut takes about fifteen minutes to
finish bushel of good marbles ready
for the boys knuckles. One mill will
turn out 100, 900 per week."
"Well, I declare! Where is that
mill, Frank ?"
"Oberstein, Germany"
"Oh; Oberstein bees mine home ~
cried Otto, with cleaning eyes. II
see them marbles"
If there ever was a sheepish- look
ing boy, it was Ned. But he steadied
himself up, and said "Come Oh,
Otto, and have a game. I'm ashamed
I said anything"
