The elite of Newtonville sat in Sarah
Ellen's room sewing away until twilight
made the selection of the colors impos-
sible. Then Sarah Ellen rose and lighted
the lamps which were shining clean and
bright, polSed the fire in the kitchen and
said, "Well. i guess we had better have
a bit of tea now for we have been sewing
powerful steady" So the bundles of
material were picked up, the balls rolled
and weighed and in few minutes the
sayory odor of tea and hot mullins filled
the low ceiling room. Sarah Ellen was
slow in her movements; it took her a
long time to prepare the tea; but when it
was ready it was set forth with much
dignity and grace. The little sand rub
bed table stood near window where
she had blooming geraniums in tomato
cans. it was covered with spotless
linen cloth. There was an array Of glis-
tening China, silver cream pitcher, and
pink china cups and saucers. Sarah
Ellen used china every day-none Of the
Newtonville people did, They whispered
about it among themselves, and some
malicious ones thought common crock
cry was good enough for anyone" On
the table was glass dish full of sug-
ared dried currents, a china cake basket
with slices of spice cake in it, some jelly
and cream on a deep dish and tiny
bunch of the red geraniums. 1t was q
magnificent feast for Newtonville.
The ladies "fell to" at Sarah Ellen's
invitation and soon the hot tea loosened
the tongues of the older ones.

these things" said Sarah Ellen stepping
into the best room and taking from un-

HOW DO YOU TREAT YOUR SIS.
TER.

1t is the easiest thing in the world
for a boy to be polite to some other fell
lows sister. Then why is it some of
them find it so hard to remember to be
equally courteous to their sisters?
Many boy is rude to his sister with
out really realizing it; in other words,
he forgets to be polite. Then, again
he is afraid of being dubbed sissy if
he should be caught paying some at
tention to his sister. 1t is bad habit
for any one to get into-that of saving
ones polite ways for outsiders.
If she asks you a question don't an
swer her in a rude or careless manner
as if you thought she did not know
what she was talking about and wasn't
worth listening to.
Don't tease her or make fun Of her
in any way to hurt her feelings. You
wouldn't do that to some other girl
You can just bank all you have on
the boy that is kind and thoughtful to
his own, for you may be sure he will
develop into the right sort of a man
that is bound to win the respect and
affection of every one

HOW TO GET ALONG IN THE
WORLD.

Most of our successful men began
life without a dollar. They have won
success by hard work and strict hon
esty. You can do the same. Here are
dozen rules for getting on in the
world:
/ Be honest. Dishonesty seldom
makes one rich, and when it does riches
are curse. There is no such thing as
! dishonest success.
2. Work. The world is not going to
pay for nothing. Ninety per cent of
what men call genius is only talent for
hard work.
8. Enter into that business or trade
you like best, and for which nature
seems to have fitted you, provided it
is honorable.
4. Be Independent. Do not lean on
others to do your thinking or to con-
quer difficulties.
3. Be conscientious in the discharge
of every duty. Do your work thor
oughly. No boy can rise who Sights
his work.
6. Don't try to begin at the top. Be-
gin at the bottom and you will have a
chance to rise, and will be surer of
reaching the top some time
Z. Trust to nothing but God and hard
work. Inscribe on your banner, Luck
is a fool; pluck is a hero"
0. De punCtual. heep your appoint
ment. Be there minute before time.
even if you have to lose dinner to do it,
8. Be polite. Every smile, every
gentle bow is money in your pocket.
10. Be generous. MeanneSs makes
enemies and breeds distrust
II. Spend less than you earn. Do
not run in debt. Watch the little leaks
and you can live on your salary.
u. Make all the money you can, hon
estly; do all the good you can with it
while you live; be your own executor.

good one, and she begged Mary to let
her carry it out.
Mary at first hesitated, but at length
concluded there could be no improprie-
ty in doing so, and accompanied Alice
up the steps.
The summons to the door were an
lady, who at once invited them into the
parlor, and called Father Charles, her
son, down stairs to see them
The distributor of the medals was
rather astOnished at finding the nieces
of DR.. White (for such his callers
proved to be- awaiting him, and was
not little surprised and amused when
he learned the real cause of their visit
He explained to them that as the
medals had been given out for all those
who wished to receive them, and he had
not specified for Catholics only. there
was no harm done in the young ladies
taking one; he also added that if they
so desired it, they might keep the med-
ais, and he would give them little
book containing an account of the life
Of St Joseph, whose image adorned
one SIDE of the medal. The guests We're
pleased to keep the medals and gladly
accepted the book. Then Father Charles
began to ask them about their uncle.
Dr. White, who had been a classmate
Of his years ago when he was a student
al 4 nOn-SecIarlan college. He invited
his neWlymade friends into the library.
and showed them his rare coins and
curios gathered in foreign countries. for
Father Charles being the only child of
parents of means, had enjoyed the adj
vantages of extensive travel.
The visit proved a most interesting
one and was but the beginning of more
to follow for both sisters having read
the book. became interested in know
ing something Of Catholic doctrine. and
so went often to the parsonage for in
struction and to receive books from the
priests excellent library
BY autumn they had finished the last
pages Of the Catechism, and when Oc-
tOber. with her balmy breezes and
wealth of ripened fruits came, Mary
and Alice were received into the true
fold.
It was in the Church of st. Joseph
that they received from the hand of !
Father Charles their first communion.
And now if you ask them which of
their jewels, heirIooms or other treas
ures they most prize in life. they will
tell you none are half so dear to them
as the little medals of St Joseph.
Whenever they are in need of spirit
ual or temporal aid they never fail to
go to Joseph. Catholic Tribune.

LENTEN NOTIFICATIONS.

During Lent those who are exempted
from fast ought to mortify themselves
in some other way, says an exchange.
In fact, Lent is the season of mortifi-
cation and every Christian, whether he
need fast or not, ought perform some
works of -abnegation and of char
ity. Here are a few:
Forego all amusements during the
holy season; dances in particular.
Abstain from drinking alcoholic slim
ulants.
Deny yourself the pleasure of going
to the theatre.
Girls can mortify themselves by not
eating sweet meats and candies during
this time.
Be more charitable to your neighbor.
Be more kind to those about you.
Attend the Lenten devotions in your
parish church.
Make the Way of the Cross frequent
ly and offer up your deeds in honor of
the Passion.
The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1900-03-24
LOOKING FOR FLAWS.
Don look for flaws as you go on throue

life.
And even when you find them
II IS wise and kind to be somewhat blind
And look for the virtue behind them.
For the cloudiest night has a hint of
light
Somewhere in the shadows hiding;
IL IS better by far to look for a star
IMAM the spots on the sun abiding
The current of life runs every way
10 the bosom of Gods great ocean;
Don set your force 'gainst the river S
course,
Ind think to alter its motion.
Don't waste a curse on the universe
Don shrink at the trials before you:
Don butt at the storm with your puny
form,
But bend and let it go Ger you.
The world viii never adjust itself
To suit your whims to the letter;
Some things must go wrong your whole
life long,
And the sooner you know it the bet
ter;
1t is folly to fight with the infinite
And go under at last in the wreStle.
The wisest man shapes into Gods pan
AS the water shapes into a vessel.

CHAPTER 9.
Of the Want of All Consolation.

1t is not hard to despise all human
consolation when we have divine.
But it is much, and very much, to
be able to forego all comfort, both hu-
man and divine, and to be willing to
bear this interior Punishment for Gods
honor. and to seek oneself in nothing,
nor to think of ones own merit. What
go great thing is it if thou be cheerful
and devoted when grace comes?
This hour is desiderable to ALL
He rides pleasantly enough who is
carried by the grace of God.
And what wonder if he feel no weight
who is borne up by the Almighty, and
led on by the Sovereign Guide.
2. We love to have something to COM
fort us, and it is with difficulty that g.
man can put off himself.

He doesn't leave them all
About the floor where t'groWT-ups'' may
Trip over them and fall.
He keeps his collar and his clothes
Immediately clean:
He wipes his boots upon the mat
When through the mud he's been.
He learns his lessons with a will,
And never sldps them-noi
He never plaques his sisters. and
That's why they love him so.
When with his trumpet and mis- drum
He innocenDy plays

He instantly obeys.

He never says. Il shan'tr
Nor does he ever cry II won't!''
Nor does he whine, II can'tI"

A MOTHERS KISS.

When but a child, if e'er 1 came to harm
Perhaps twas but a scratch, upon my
arm
I'd run to mother. and she'd always say,
III kiss it; then the pain will go away"
All, every time it seemed to me that,
though
The mark remained, it never hurt me so!
Her loving kisses did for me more good
Than any kind of ointment ever could.
Long years have passed. I may be child
ish yet,
That youthful fancy cannot forget,
For to my aching head tbs soothing now
To have those dear lips pressed upon my
brow.
For remember how since long ago
Shes clasped me in her loving arms, and
10,
1 seem child again and hear her say,
IN kiss it, then the pain viii go away"
