HARDEST PART Of THE JOURNEY


dedicated to Travelling Menu
Written for the Standard.
1t is not the long ride on the hot. sultry day,
Not the ride when tho Storm King has absolute
sway,
or when blue yaulted skies, by dark clouds
overcast,
Lead you up to the question-"How long will
this last?"
Not the hardest is travelling in snow storm or
rain;
IT'S the old, well-worn path from your house to
the train.
You have taken it oft and as often returned.
But in spite Of this fact you have never yet
learned
How to make this first part Of your trip with
delight.
Whether made at MONDAY or in small hours
OF night;
You have said to yourself-said again and
again
"The hard portion is ths-from my house to
the train"
You my leave with good cheer, but your heart.
soul asld mind
Are all left with the dear ones you're LEAVING
For they gathered about as you packed the old
grip,
And the plaintiye Old question came up from
each lip
On why must you go go so quickly again?"
This does not smooth the way from your house
To the train.
Yet, when once you have started, tits pleasant
to know
That. ike angels attending wherever yougo
Good wishes and prayers follow close on your
track,
And fond hearts are waiting to welcome YOU
back.
But for all this It's true and say It again.
It's long, weary way from your house to the

A HERO g SpnRr
warned the Inhabitants of HinckIey of
Fire and Help Them E.caDr

| warned the Inhabitants of HinckIev OF
Fire and Help Them E,cape.
The exploit of the brave engineer who
plotted his train through the tornado OF
lame in the Minnesota forest fires and
rescued swarms of terror-stricken refu-
gees has made him famous, but the self.
sacrifice of a poor priest at Hinckley has
hardly been mentioned. although, as the
fouth's Companion says, there was in it
much of the finest quality of heroism.
From the moment when the destruction
OF the town was menaced by the rapidly
advancing wave of flame he ceased TO
think of himself and devoted all his en-
ergies of mind and body to the protec-
ton and rescue of others.
lie went from house to house, warning
the inhabitants of their peril and begging
them to take refuge in sand pits where
there was water. While panic-stricken
men were Harvesting horses and fran
tically seeking to escape into the burning
woods, he was calm and collected, reas-
surfing every one whom he met, yet point
ing out the only chance of safety.
He led one group after another to the
sand pits when they were beside them
selves with fear and excitement. When
one place of refuge was overcrowded he
found another, and begged the stragglers
to follow him.
The woods were flaming on every side,
and the refugees standing in the water
felt in their faces the scorching breath of
the storm of fire. The good priest had
words of encouragement for all. He held
children in his arms, he supported faint
ing women when they were falling from
fright and fatigue, he put the stoutest-
hearted man to shame by his GOODNESS,
cheerfulness and energy.
With his hat he poured water on the
heads of women and children in that fiery
furnace. He took the coat from his back
and tore it in half. One fragment he
dipped IN water and bandaged the fore
head of woman with child clInging to
her. The other half he wound around the
heads of two helpless children whose faces
were scorched with the heat of the burn
ing forest.
Bareheaded and in shirt sleeves he
stood among the dying and ministered to
them while he had strength to stand, eyes
to see and voice to utter words of COM
fort and hope. He was the spirit of self
sacrifice and of ministry to the needy, and
whether shown in Catholic or Protestant,
it is worthy of high commentator.
The flight of the train through the burn
ing forest was the more stirring story in |
print, but what could have been more |
noble or more heroic than this devoted |
mans work among his flock.
There were deeds Of valor and chivalry |
before :he walls of Zutphen in Flanders,

MOTHER G )OKING.

Your modern school of cookery,
Where God is done by no e,
Don hardly touch old mothers food,
Although she cooked by rote.
She had way Of cooking things
So wholesome and so sweet
That vIttles SCENE to coax us boys
To take right hold and eat
This sharlott rOosh is fraud In cake,
And French a-clalrs don't stay"
And lemon pie with lather ont
Is just like medder hay.
In spite OF all your fol-de-rolls,
The old folks often sigh
For mother 5 "dish"-she called IL billed"
And mothers pumpkin pie.
But p'r'aps it warn't all cookery
That made the vittles grand:
Maybe the heft OF sweetness, lay
In dear old mothers hand.
Don't matter much what vittles is
When love is served for strce.
Love turns old hens TO chickens Drilled
Nettles to sparrer grass.
