BEN'S BOMBSHELL.
A Juvenile Story.

I n Juvenile DLOIys
please come over to our barn right
after dinner, I've got a scheme for
celebrating the Fourth that will wake
Tup the town.
So ran the note which Farmer
Tully's son Benjamin had sent to his
four friends-Will Chester, Walter
Casey, Hal Gossman and Eddie Will

him Benjamin) has got up something
new again. Wonder what it ISL" NUT
tered viii, as he read his note. Ben
jamin was very versatile in schemes,
and for this reason, probably, he was
looked upon as a sort of leader among
his companions.
After dinner Will went directly to
the Tuly farm.
In the rambling old barn that squat
ted close to the sluggish river he found
the other four; Benjamin, sitting on a
feed cutter, was thoughtfully chewing
straw.
We'll, what is it, what is it?" quer-
led Will, impatiently.
II will tell you. You know what
mortar is?"

stuff they stick bricks together with"

mean these sawed-off little cannon
that point up in the air and are used
to shoot bombshells out Of. My idea
is to make a mortar and some bomb
shells. They would make as much
noise as a cannon, and when the bomb
went off in the air it could be seen and
heard for miles in all directions"
The boys looked at each other
aghast.

"Those things have to be made in fac
tories"
I'VE can make 'em all right" said
Benjamin. There's a big iron drain
tile about a foot in diameter down in
the field that will make a splendid
mortar. ALI we need to do is to fit it
into log to stop up one end. know
where there is just that kind of a log,
or stump, too, and it will prevent the
tile from bursting when the thing goes

But what would you make your
bombshell out OFF, asked Hal Goss-
man.
Il have thought that out, too," was
Benjamin's ready reply. 1--WE can take
two baseball masks, rip the leather off
and fit them together and plaster clay
over them until they are thick enough
to be pretty solid, leaving the inside
empty to be filled with powder. We
can get all the powder we want
That afternoon four of them got the
tile and carried it in Benjamin's boat
to the spot chosen by Benjamin, close
to the stump which they intended to
put to such new use
The stump was curiously examined.
1t was the remains of an oak tree per-
haps three feet in diameter. In its
center was a deep opening which
seemed just about large enough to ac-
commodate the tile. All together the
boys carried the tile to the stump, and

INC Word "Wife.U

What do you think the beautiful
word wife comes from? 1t is the
great word in which the English ana
Latin languages conquer the French
and Greek. I hope the French VIII
some day get a word for it instead OF
their femme. But what do you think
1T comes from? The great value OF
the Saxon word is that they mean
something. Wife means weaver

The mugwump idea in politics is to
win victories and hand the flags and
honors back to the enemy. There is
a mugwump idea in war to the same
effect; but we guess that, having con-
quered the Philippines and the desired
Cuban territory, the United States
will hold on to them long enough to
see what they are made of. Anyhow,
strange as it may seem, that is a part
of the purpose of this blood-shedding.

UNFRAMED BY A SERPENT

UNFRAMED BY A SERPENT
The incident of st. Paul and the vi
per and the storieE of Zinzendorf and
3rainerd and their serpent visitors ara
read by every one with the thrill of in
terest always felt where a human life is
at stake. We can imagine the effect
upon those who were eye-witnesses of
the facts, and saw these men escape
without a wound.
Near the middle of the last century
David Brainerd left his mission among
the Indians at Stockbridge, Mass. and
Travelled southwark to the forks of
the Delaware" He had heard of a
savage tribe in the heart of the New
Jersey forests, and yearned to bring
them under Christian influences.
With his pocket Bible, his tent-cloth
and few simple utensils for prepar-
ing his food strapped in a bundle on
his back, he pushed on through the will
derness till he found himself in the
ne1ghborhood of the Indian village. Hs
was tired, and mounting his little shell
ter-tent on sticks, he camped under
the trees to rest and to fortify him
self for the new undertaking that Law
before him. What peril was near him
from savage hands he could not know,
and like his Master in "a solitary place
apart" he talked with heaven until he
felt refreshed and strong.
When he finally reached the wig
vans, he was an astonished man. His
faith and hope had made him bold, but
he little expected when he faced the
enemies of his race that a whole viii
lage" would come out to meet him as
II he had been a long -looked-for friend.
Led by their chief, the Indians well
coined him as their guest, and seemed
almost to reverence him as a prophet.
He stayed among them and preached,
winning the hearts and the faith of
the untutored natives, until he gath
cred a church of between seventy and
eighty Christian Indians.
Brainerd never knew, until they told
him, the secret of his welcome. The
saVages had discovered the white
stranger in the woods, and a party of
them had waited to steal upon him
and kill him as soon as he entered his
tent. Peering between the folds of
the canvas, they saw him on his knees,
praying.
Ignorant wonder held them back
and their wonder turned to awe when
they saw rattlesnake crawl over the
strangers feet and pause beside him,
with its head raised as if to strike; but
it only gazed at him moment, flick
cred its read tongue, and glided out OF
the tent on the opposite side. The In
dams hurried back and reported that
the white man was under the protee-
ton of the Great Spirit.

Father Goapfert's Apology.

With much readiness and pleasure
does Eagle Rivers Pastor lend his SER
vices to the surrounding cities SO as to
enable, during the Easter Season es-
peciaily, the people of the various ma
lions to perform their religious duties.
He helps others, others will help him.
He was in Amigo and Wausau, and this
week he must work at Rhinelander.
These absences naturally interrupt his
Eagle River History. It is why, this
week he presents his readers with the
critique by Canon Daniel, of one of his
works. ''The Life of the Venerable,
Mary, Francis Paul Libermann.
Father Goepfert wrote this work,
whilst Professor, at Rockwell College,
Cashel, surrounded by the ever green
fields of gallant Tipperary. The Re-
view of his book appeared in the Gree
man. Ireland's greatest organ and
reads as follows.
ssTHE VENERABLE LIBERMANN."
This is one of the most graceful and
interesting biographies it ever has been
our good fortune to read. It is written
with taste, judgement and seloquence,
and wildly portrays fascinating and
remarkable career. The name Of
the Venerable Father Libermann Is
one with which the Catholics of this
country are not as yet particularly
familiar; but already the work, (which
was the achievement and the glory of
his life, has made itself felt amongst
our people, and has put forth the pro-
mise of rich and aripe result. In the
French College at Blackjack, near our
city, and in that other French College
at Rockwell, in Tipperary, Ireland has
two institutions that are the outcome
of the work of Father Libermann, for
both are colleges of the Order of the
Holy Ghost and of the Order of the
Holy Heart of Mary, and of these con-

Even if we had the space, this would
be scarcely the place to follow in it's
details the life of this remarkable man.
and even if we attempted it any sum-
mary of it by us would not alone fall
short of but would be an injustice to
the ample, attractive, and most con-
scientious biography so beautifully
written by his able and attached disci-
pie, Father Goepfert, of Rockwell.

renowned Able Desgenettes, the saint

Paris, his sketches of what he saw in
Rome, the history of his trials and trou-
bles in carrying out the great purposes
of his life, his fervent and indomitable
zeal with reference to the decentralization
of the uncivilized peoples of the islands
in the Indian Ocean and of the interior
'of Africa, his exquisite pictures of the
holy, peaceful life in St, Sulpice, in
Paris, and his "reminiscences of some
.of the illustrious ecclesiastics who have
shed such an unfading lustre on that

accuracy in Father Goepfert's Life and

interest whose spell it is impossible to

we are not surprised at the glowing
testimony to it's merits rendered in his
