SMALL BEGINNINGS.

A traveC6r through a dusty road streW6d
acOrn5 on the lea;
And one took root and sprouted uD and
grew into tree.
Love sought its shade, at evening time, to
breathe it's early vows:
And age was pleased, in heats of noon, to
bask beneath its boughs;
The doTTnOuSe loved its dangling twigS,
the birds sweet music bore:
1t stood a glory in it's place, a blessing
evermore.
A little spring had lost it's way amid the
grass ard fern,
A passing stranger scooped a well, where
weary men might turn:
He walked it in, and hung with care
He Thought not not of of The The deed he did. but
judged that toll might drink.
He PASSED again, and lol the well, by
summers never dried,
Had cooled ten Thousand parching
tongues, and saved a life beside.
A dreamer dropped a random thought,
twas old, and vet twas new:
A simple fancy of the brain, but strong
in being true.
1t shone upon a genial mind, and 10! its
light became
The Thought was small, it's issue great, a
watch fire on the hill.
It shed it's radiance far adcwn, and cheers

A whisper ON the tumult thrown-a trans

And thou shalt marvel. I will muse,

And like two children we Will use
The eyes of one another.
Why grass can grow and violets,
Why GandeifonS be yellow,
And why tine early robin sings
So rich tune and mellow;
And why the crystal water drops
Upon the petals Denddnt,
So low bend down the lily tops
And make them so resDlendent-
And why the red glow pOkes his head
About him so demureLy;
As if the BEETLE. seeming dear,

Such questions pertinent and nice
And suited to the season,
Well settle on our best advice
Adjusting them to reason.

Wen trust our own instructive touch
Nor care for their decisions.

Chappelle's New Apointment.

Washington, Sept 26-The announce
ment that Archbishop Chappelle of
New Orleans has been chosen apostle
lie delegate for the Philippines attracts
much attention in official and clerical
quarters. The position has been va
cant up to this time and owing to the
large property interests of the church
in the Philippines, the official status it
occupied under Spain, and the influence
of the clergy over the natives, it has
been regarded as an apt factor in con-
struction. About year ago the Pope
named Archbishop Chappelle as apos-
tolic delegate for Cuba and Porto Rico.
but no appointment was made for the
Philippines and the archbishop of Man
liza has continued to exercise chief ju-
r1sdlction, dealing directly with Rome.
In view of the latter's former strong
pro-Spanish views. his cooperation
with the United States military au-
thoritieS at Manila has been the source
OF much satisfaction to the church au-
thorities here. But it is felt that the
presence of a delegate in this country
authorized to act for the Vatican, win
permit more direct cooperation on the
questions which are constantly aris-
ing. Under Spanish rule the Arch
bishop of Manila was government of
fetal, receiving $4,000 annually while
four bishops, at the head of the four
d1oceses constituting the island, re-
ceiVed $4,000. This status no longer ex-
lists and the church officials are main
tanned out of the church resources. 1t
is expected that Archbishop Chappelle's
viii permit of reorganiza-
ton of the church system of the is
lands, based on changed conditions.

WHEN MOTHER TUCKED ME IN.

All, the quaint and curious carving
on the posts of that old bed;
There were lOng-peaked, queer old grlt-
Wearing crowns upon their heads,
And they fiercely looked down on me
With cold. SardOnic grin;
I was not afraid of griflnS
When my mother tucked me IN.
L remember how it stood there.
With it's headpiece backward rolled,
And it's broad and heavy tester
Lined with plaitings. blue and gold.
And the great old-fashioned pillows
Trimmed with ruftles, white ana thlh'
And the cover. soft and doWny,
When my mother tucked me IN.
What cared L for dismal shadows,
Shifting up and down the floor,
Or the bleak and gruesome wind gusts
Beating 'gainSt the clOSe-shut door,
Or the rafting of the windows,
All the outside noise and din?
[ was safe and warm and happy
When my mother tucked me IN.
Sweet and soft her gentle fingers,
As they touched my sunburnt face;
Sweet to me the waited odor
That enwrapped her dainty lace;
Then a pat or two at parting
And a goodnight kiss between;
All my troubles were forgotten
When my mother tucked me IN.
Now the stricken years have borne me
Far away from love and home,
All! no mother leans above me
In the nights that go and come,
But it gives me peace and comfort,
When my heart is sore within.
Just to lie right still and. dreaming,
Think my mother tucked me in.
Oh. the gentle. gentle breathing
To her dear hearts softer beat,
And the quiet. quiet moving
Of her sOft-shod little feet;
And Time, one boon / ask thee,
WhatsO'er may be my sin.
When in dying, let me see her,
AS she used to tuck me in.

a LITTLE KING.

He doesn't WELD a sceptre
And he dOeSn t wear u crown,
He doesn't walk in stately robes
About the pleasant town;
But still he is a monarch
In the home on yOnder street.
Where the family are the yassaIS
OF the King of PatterinS Feet.
He's sometimes very cross indeed.
Just like a really king:
He often frets and worries
When he doesn't want a thing,
But then he's happy moments
When his laughter rings so sweet,
And it's joyous just to wait upon
The King Of Pattering Feet.
His crest is made of sunlight
Woven into curlS of gold,
And he yields his wooden sabre
Like the courtly knights of old;
His realm is in loves keeping,
And this it's tender law:
To serve-but not to tremble;
Obey-but not with awe.
His mandates daily issue
Through the kingdom known as Play
And his subjects yield with pleasure
To the edicts of his sway.
His jewels are fancied. treasures,
And the diademS that CLEAN
Are the glory lights of wonder
In the little world of dream.
His sovereign will is granted.
When the story hour draws near,
And the mother-song sounds softly
In the little monarch s ear.
The world were sad without him,
In the home on yonder street.
Where the family serve as yassals
To the King of PatterinE Feet.

IN PRAISE OF BOOKS.

Book lovers grateful tribute pay,
In sober prose or votiVe lay,
For well they know their magic power
To charm and cheer the darksome hour.
Like the sweet flowers are books we love,
They oft a benediction prove.
Like star-eyed daisy of the Spring,
They newborn pleasures 10 US bring;
While the choice wisdom they impart
Inspires both intellect and heart.
And Tis through books alone that we
Hold converse with antiquity
With Homer and the classic minds,
Whose learning Past and Present binds
History. philosophy. and song,
Al4 to me cherished books belong,
Whether a field or leafy nook,
Or quiet hDme-welcome the book
We love our human folk meanwhile
The book is sure our fancy to beguile.

PHYSICAL DEFECTS OF MAN.
Uneven Shoulders, Arms, Legs and
Hips Are Numerous.

I
A man can be measured to the best
! advantage. tailors say. away from the
glass. Standing before a mirror he is
almost certain to throw out his chest,
| if he does not habitually carry it so,
and take an attitude that he would like
to have, rather than the one he COM
monty holds; whereas the tailor wants
him, as the portrait painter wants his
subject, in his natural pose and man
ner. With the man in that attitude,
the tailor can bring his art to bear-if
that is required-in the overcoming of
any physical defect, and produce
clothes that will give the best attain
able effect upon the figure as they will
be actually worn.
The physical defect most common in
man is uneVennesS of the shoulders
One shoulder is higher than the other
and this is a defect often encountered
though the difference in the height may
not be so great as to be noticeable, eX-
cept by one accustomed to taking note
of such things This is a defect that is
easily overcome by the tailor when
it exists in a comparatively moderate
degree. 1t is done sometimes simply by
cutting the coat to fit on each shoulder,
the perfect fitting coat carrying with
it the idea and the appearance of
symmetry. Sometimes, and this is COM
monty done in cases of more pro-
nounced difference, symmetry is at
tanned by the familiar method of build
ing UP or padding the lower shoulder.
The influence of the lower shouted eX-
tends down on that side of the body. so
that sometimes 1T is necessary below
the arm to cut that side of the coat
shorter. Next to unevenness of the
shoulders. round shoulders are perhaps
the commonest defect.
A very common thing is unevenness
of the hips. A difference of half an inch
here would not be at all remarkable: it
is sometimes much more. If a man
finds one leg of his trousers-the legs,
he knows, being alike in length-touch-
ing the ground while the other clears
it, he may reasonably consider that
there is a difference somewhere in his
legs 1t may be that one leg is longer
than the other, but it is more probable
that one hip is higher than the
other, or one leg fuller, so
that it takes up the trousers more
and thus gradually raises the bottom
more. 1t would be a common thing if
men were seen with their waistcoats
off, to find suspenders at uneven
leISHbS' l C val "a IlOi III tHC SuSpCilu-
ers might be required, to be sure, by a
in the shoulders, and not in
the legs.
1t is common to find mems arms of
different lengths. The difference may
be so slight as to require no special at
tention in the making of their clothes,
but it is frequently necessary to make
the coat sleeves of different lengths.
The fact appears to be that there are
not many perfect men, that is, men of
perfect harmony of development and
perfect symmetry of proportions. in
which respect man is like all things
else in nature, like horses, for in
stance, and trees; but in the greater |
number of men these defects are within |
such limits that they might be de- !
scribed as variations rather than as |
defects

And count the acts that you have done,
And counting. find
One Self-denying act. one word

One glance most kind
That fell like sunshine where it went,
Then you may count that day well spent.
But if through all the liveIong day,
You've cheered no heart by yea. or nay,
If through it all
You've nothing done which you can trace,
That brought the sunshine to one face,

HoNoRs AMERICAN PRELATEs.
Pope Leo XIII. Invites Them to a
Place of Precedence.

E1dCG VI Z ISCSOCuCS.
Archbishop Corrigan has received, in
common with other American Arch
bishops, an invitation to be present in
Rome at the opening of the year of re-
jOicing to begin on next Christmas
day. The invitation comes from Car
dinai Jacobini, and through the Papal
Delegate at Washington, and is all the
more urgent to American Archbishops
owing to the unusual honor which is
to be accorded to American Catholicism
this year. The ceremony of Christmas
day, which the Cardinal desires all
Archbishops to attend, is the same that
took place on Christmas day, 1899.
The Pope goes in state to the main
entrance to st. Peters, and there
knocks three times. At the third
knock the great doors open, not to be
closed until New Years day. The Pope
enters bearing cross in the right hand
and lighted taper in the left and fol-
lowed by all visiting prelates.
At this unusual ceremony it has been
the custom for many centuries to ac-
cord the place of honor in the line, and
indeed throughout the entire ceremo-
MES of the week, to the Archbishops
from the country that has made during
the century then ended the greatest
religious progress. That honor is to be
accorded to the United, States at the
forthcoming ceremonial, and hence Car
dinaI JacObini, who is president of the
committee in charge of the jubilee, es-
pecially urges American prelates to be
we'll represented. Archbishop Corrigan
said that he would arrange his plans
to be present if possible, but could tell
better about his movements after the
meeting of the Archbishops in Wash
ingtOn next month.
Speaking of the jubilee, which is to
continue one year and to be inaugu-
rated by the ceremonial described, Car
dinal Jacobini says in his communi-
cation to the American ArchbishoDs
that the plan is to have Catholics
throughout the universe affirm by a
series of solemn manifestations their
love and gratitude to the All-powerful
Redeemer of the human race.

A MOTHERS PRAYER.

written for The Intermountain CatholicD
1t rests like dew upon the rose,
When life is young and fair;
1t softly kisses down the l1ds,
When night is in the air.
All up the rugged sleeps of life,
And in the suns fierce glare.
1t covers him with angels wings
The sanity mothers prayer.
And when he fails in lifes vain strife,
With none to help or spare,
1t bears him to the sunlit fields
The incense of d mothers prayer.
