How They Differ.

(From the Catholic Sentinel, Chip
pewa Falls, Oct. IL, 19OO.)
On our way home from Madison last
Sunday we fell in with B. J. Castle, Esq,
of the land Office, who is stumping the
state for the Republicans. Naturally.
we got into politics. Mr.. Castle assured
us that prosperity was everywhere visi-
BILE; that the banks were loaded down
with deposits, and that there was never
a time in the history of the state when
interest was SO low, and money so easy
to be borrowed"
Not being among the borrowing or
lending fraternity for some time past,
The representative., 1900-10-25

we accepted Mr.. Castles statement with.
out question. On reaching home, how
ever. we took up the Chicago Tribune Of
the same date (Oct. y. and were liter
ally amazed to read in glaring head
lines:
Money hard to borrow"
Security worth many times the loan
required"
PAY big interest,"
Lenders take advantage Of the ais
tress of the applicant
"Evading usury laws"
Then there was a column OF illustra-
tions, in the course OF which it Is shown
"that even 500 La hard to borrow, no
matter what the collateral that a man
may put up for such loan, aud when
he has got the money at last the prob
lem of interest is something colossal ia

$500 stone will be taken for the loan
OF 800. And it is the same with a new
piano. Land security is rejected al
together. Ten dollars for the use Of
$1O0 for three months, or 40 per cent
per annum Is the common rule on
loans from one month to three in Chi
cago and the law Is evaded by charging
the extra labor in making out the papers
for the loan and this interest is taken
out of the sum loaned at the time of
lending"
After going through a number OF sucn
cases, the Tribune suggests that a chari
table money lending organization
should be formed in Chicago for "the
benefit of poor, honest, hard-pressed in
dividuals"
Now we would like to show this arul-
Gle to Mr.. Castle and have him explain
why he should be going round the coun-
try blowing about the good times We
have, and the low rate of interest charg-
ed, when the first Republican newspaper
in the land mourns over the hard times
and the difficulty in getting a Loan at
ali. !

One Day of Homework.

Count Leo Tolstoi tells story from
Russian peasant life which will especi-
ally appeal to housewives. A man and
his wife had discussed earnestly which
had the more and harder work to do,
and finally, as neither was convinced,
they agreed to try the experiment Of
changing tasks for a day, the woman
going to the field to plow, the man stay
ing at home to do the housework What
happened is quoted as follows:
Now mind" said the wife, as she
started out, turn the COWS and the
sheep out to pasture at just the right
time, and feed the little chickens, ana
look out that they don't wander and
have the dinner ready when l come
back; mix up some pancakes and fry
them, and don't forget to churn the but
ter. But above all, don't forget to beat
the millet''
The peasant had so much trouble in
getting the cattle and sheep out that
1t was late when he thought of the
chickens; and in order that the little
chicks might not wander, he tied them
all together by the legs with string,
and then fastened the string to the old
hens leg.
He had noticed that, while his wife
was beating the millet, she often knead-
ed her pastry at the same time. So he
went to work to do these things to-
gether; and as he had to shake himself
a great deal to do it, he saw an excel
lent change to get the butter churned at
the same time by tying the cream jar
to his belt
by the time the millet is pounded. ;"
he said, 'the butter will have come"
He had hardly begun this triple task
when he heard the old hen squaking
and the chickens peeping. He started
on run to see what was the matter.
but tripped on the edge of fiagstone
fell, and broke the cream jar to pieces.
In the yard he found that prodigious
hawk had siezed one of the chickens
and was flying off with it.; and as the
chickens and their mother were all tied
on one string, they hung together and
the hawk flew away with them all.
In his confusion the peasant left the
yard gate open and the pig came IN,
tipping over the bread tray, and spilled
the batter, which the animal then i'm
mediately began to devour. While the
peasant was looking on in establishment
another pig came in and began roofing
amongst the millet
Then, while the peasant was clearing
things up as we'll as he could, the fire
went out. He had not succeeded in re-
kindling 1t when his wife entered the
yard with the horse.
Why" she said, where are the
ch1ckens-and the hen?"
"A hawk carried them or 1 had
tied them together so they would not

Five Little Brothers.
Five little brothers set out together
To journey the livelong day,
In a curious carriage all made of
leather.
They hurried away, away!
One big brother, and three quite small,
And one wee fellow, no size at all.
The carriage. was dark and none too
And they could not move about.
The five little brothers grew very
gloomy. .-... ..--..... ...
And the wee one began to pout.
Till the biggest one whispered, What
do ye say,
Let'es leave the carriage and run away.
So out the scampered, the Ave together.
And of and away they sped
When somebody found that carriage OF
leather
Oh, my! how she shook her head.

And the five little brothers were his five

The Value OF Good Manners.

The Value OF Good MannerB.
A great deal has been said about the
best equipment for success in life, but
one part-the thing which possibly mat
ters most-the manner and bearing of
the person Is often overlooked, but
without which all other equipment is
jeopardized.
A ready smile, modest assurance, a
patient and deferential power of atten-
tiOn, have often carried man higher
than his talents or brain power, and a
pleasing address, if not the best letter of
recommendation, is certainly the best
assistant to a good one. Politeness is
the current coin which purchases the
most for the least outlay.
1t comes to but few to save a life, die
for others, or add fame to the family
name, but to conscientiously and sweetly
give oneself to practicing the small
courtesies is to do unmeasured good in
the world, for life is great bundle of
small things. "Politeness is not mere
mannerism; it must flow out of right
feeling and right thinking.
Here. then, is the keynote to good
manners-a generous home life con-
stant regard for the feelings of others,
liberal reading, habitual self denial and
never-failing simplicity of act and ex-
preston. There should be outward
gentleness and inward reserve
POliteness does not harbor a desire to
shine, to rule, or to lead; it is content
with perfect harmony and gentleness.
There can be no politeness without
taking others into consideration Many
young people are distressed lest they
should be misunderstood or put down
lower than they belong, hence they
make an effort to convince others Of
their consequence, but fail of the pur-
pose, and only give the effect they have
been trying to prevent
1t means taking good deal Of trouble
1T means sustained effort, and will de-
pend more upon the small things we do
than the great ones. "One great deed is
easier than a thousand small ones"
