y NCE upon time there lived in
a great desert a poor old one-eyed
camel He was very very old; so
old he could barely move about
- There was not much to eat or
much to drink in this desert, but every
here and there grew a blade of grass,
and occasionally there was found a
pool Of water. and by constantly NOV
ing around the old fellow managed to
get something to eat and also some
thing to drink.

not!" And the tree said, You will, or
I will choke you' You will be hanged
If you do" said the camel. Il will be
hanged if I don't" swore the tree.
Then the camel lay down again, and
the tree choked the poor old fellow, and
was hanged, just as the camel said he
would be. r. w. RIGGS.

they walked half day, when the tree
said: Il see them now, think But let
me get on your back and 1 will be able
to see much palmer
The camel knelt, as requested, and
the tree got on his back and wrapped
his roots around him. Then he told the
poor old fellow he saw the trees little
off to the right.
The camel looked and looked and
looked, but could see nothing. THAT is

and this time with his right hind hoof,
and then he started for it once more.
And he ran, and he ran, and he ran.
And he ran all that day and all next
day, but still got no nearer to 1t.
So he gave it up, and seeing blade
Of grass and drink of water he made
haste to eat his supper
Then he lay down to sleep, and, much
to his surprise. the tree lay down, too.
That is a strange tree" said the cam
el, and he got up, and the tree also got
up.
That tickled the camel so he laughed,
and the tree laughed, too, which so
startled the old fellow that he jumped
sideways. Then the camel moved back
ward, and the tree moved forward.
Then the camel. moved forward, and the
tree moved backward, and they kept
this backward and forward movement
up all night, and in the morning the
camel got mad and again ran after the
tree
And he ran, and he ran, and he ran.
And heran all that day and all the next
day, but got no nearer to It.
I guess I will oive it up" he said,
He was very, very tired, so he lay down
and went to sleep, but before he closed
his eyes he saw the tree lie down too.
The old fellow was so worn out that
he slept for five days and nights, and
when he awoke he still saw the tree
lying down, but he decided to pay no
more attention to It. When he arose,
the tree also arose.
Then, much to his surprise, the tree
came toward him, and very soon came
to where he was. Then the tree bowed
very low and politely, and said: Good
morning, Mr.. Camel; how are you?"
The camel also bowed politely and an
swered: I am very well, L thank you.

there is a tree there are a lot of trees,
and where there are lot of trees there
is a lot of grass, and where there is a
lot of grass there is a lot of water. and
where there is lot of water there are
a lot of camels. That is why 1 ran after
you, Mr.. Tree"

The poor camel was tired too, but he
thought 1t fair bargain. and kept on
until dark. But still they saw no trees,
and he wanted to lie down and rest, but
the selfish tree refused to let him.
The old fellow begged and begged and
begged, but the tree would not get off.
Then the camel lay down and tried to
roll the other off, but failed.
Then the tree said: You had better

They started off, and at first the old
camel was so happy to know they were
so near the trees he forgot all about the
load on his back. But toward night he
became so tired he could hardly drag
his feet along, and he begged the other
to get off, but the tree refused to do
so. why should I get off? he said II

CATHOLIC TOTAL ABSTINENCE
UNION.

The Catholic Total Abstinence Union,
with a membership of eighty ;h iusnnd,
held its twenty-ninth annual conven-
ton in Chicago last week, anc the pro
ceedings were both interesting and sig
niflcant. There were five hundred del
egates in attendance, and plans were
discussed and adopted with the view of
rapidly recruiting the membership to
one million. Eloquent addresses were
delivered by Bishop Tierney, of Hart
ford, president of the union; Bishop
Spalding, of Peoria. and Archbishops
Feehan and Ireland. and the enthusi-
asm and unanimity that prevailed
throughout was greater than has char
acterized any similar meeting.
The late convention commemorated
the fiftieth anniversary of the first Wis
it to this country of the great temper
ance apostle, Father Mathew. Half Il
century has seen his work grow and in,
crease in interest in the Roman Catho-
lie Church until now an army is enlist
cd under the banner he raised when
temperance commanded but slight in
terest anywhere. The union has deter
mined to carry on the work with re-
newed vigor and determination, and it
Is not doubted that within n reasona-
BILE time it will have one million mem
bers wearing the white ribbon. the
orfiame of an enthusiastic host OF tenn
perance soldiers battling for the home
and for manhood
The drink habit is one easy to con-
tract and difficult to eradicate, and it
is engaging the attention of thoughtful
men of all creeds and countries. In
England, our mother country, it has
grown to such an extent that the gov
eminent revenue from this source alone
is enormous and constitutes one of the
largest items to draw upon when the
chancellor of the exchequer makes up
his annual budget Less attention is
given to this department Of government
revenue in the United States. but that
1t is great and growing is n matter of
general knowledge. If the advocates Of
temperance can succeed in diverting
even tenth of the sum now worse than
uSSieSSly spent as Il result OF lntcm-
Derance. they will have accomplished
magnificent work
The Catholic Total Abstinence Union.
as its name implies, is something more
and better than mere temperance or
sanization, and in its methods it DIFF
fers also from many other societies
aiming in the same general direction.
1t seeks not TO deal so much with peo-
pie In the mass as with individuals
There is room. however, for all classes
of workers in the broad field, and minor
differences sink from sight when the
great end to be attained Is seriously
considered.
That we are becoming n nation of
drinkers instean of abstainers is
largely our own fault The remedy is
within our grasp, and 1t would seem
that the Catholic Total Abstinence
Union will lead in applying it. If every
member Of that organiza ton brings
within its fold one new member ana

can do likewise AT the end of twelve
