The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1902-08-16

Planned with three of my friends to
put in two weeks in the woods this
summer. We were to hunt, fish, play
poker, sleep on hemlock boughs and
have a real jolly time. and there was
hardly day that | didn't think about
the good time in store for me. Well
it seemed as if the time would never
come, but we got off at last a few days
ago and brought up in town on Lake
Michigan. From thence we got a man
to drive us fourteen miles into the
woods, and our anticipations were at
last to be realized. There was lake,
and there were game, and there were
hemlock boughs in plenty. We got a
brush shanty built before night, and
when darkness came we sat around a
cheerful fire and patted each other on
the back. Not for long, though. Pretty
soon one fellows face began to length
en-, and he looked up and said:
Boys, I'd give half my life for a
cocktail, and why L was ass enough
to make this trip will always be mys-
terry to me-.
We started laugh" continued the
merchant but five minutes later a
second man remarked:

I'm blamed lonesome without 'em,
added the third
We'll, 1 can't explain how it was,
but began to think of sherry and
crackers, and in less than two minutes
l was as homesick as a boy. We sat
and looked into the fire and kept ST
lence for time, and then one of the
party sighed and said:
Boys, can we ever stand it for two
weeks?'
=" 'Never!' replied the other three of
US.
:" What shall we do?'
6 Go home in the morning.
And start for home we did, and
here 1 am, and when you get me off on
another junket you'll have to carry me
in box and send first-class hotel

HER LITTLE FELLOW YET.

What funny creatures mothers are!

For all my bigness and my age
How mine looks after me.

AUNT BUSY HAS HER HAY.

Dear Nieces and Nephews-Aunt
Busy is wishing that you would show a
little more interest in her. She only
received two letters this week, and
she wishes to thank the two dear chill
dren for remembering her. Poor old
auntie. She will have to wear stronger
glasses soon, because her eyes are Civ
ing out watching for letters.
Aunt Busy is also anxious to hear
from new nieces and nephews. Now,
dear children, please remember that
there is a funny looking little old lady,
with white hair and spectacles. who
looks for letters from some dear bright
children every week; and when the
letters do not come the old lady is al
most ready to cry, just as she used to
DO many, many years ago. This old
lady is your ever loving

AMERICANS LIKE FROGS.
They Now Eat Twice as Many as the
French.
CNew york Trlbune, !


1.-THE eating of frogs legs is consid-
e. ed la Franchise" said an uptown
restaurateur, the other day, to one of
his guests, but as matter of fact,
more frogs at the present time are
killed for the table in this country than
in France. l have no means of esti-
mating how great the business of kill
ing frogs for the market has grown in
this country, but am warranted when
L say that twice as many are served
for the American palate every day as
on the tables of the French.
In France the frogs are raised for
the most part in what have been
termed froggeries. Here they grow in
our creeks and ponds, and are caught
by the hook or speared. By the way,
did you ever undertake to catch a
frog?"
Never did, answered the guest
at is great sport" replied the pro-
prietor of the cafe. You think that
you have got whale on the end of
your line. A fly or n piece of an old
rag will do for bait, and for that mat
ter, the bullfrog will grab at anything
red with more avidity than an animate
object. He is like his namesake in his
inclinations toward this particular
color. But when you have him on the
hook don't let him drop into the water
again, or the chances are that he will
get foothold, and it will be impossi-
BILE to extricate him. l have often
hauled in bullfrog, which had in his
mouth the broken ends of old hooks
and other similar reminders of past
attempts on his life.
Much of the old-time aversion to
the bullfrog has been overcome by a
better knowledge of the little animal.
Indeed, he is not half as bad as he
has been made out to be. 1t has been
said that he lives on flies and insects.
The same thing can be said of chickens
and all kinds of birds. 1 am sure his
habits are not as indiscriminate and
unconventional as that of the hog, and
the Americans have become famous for
the raising and eating of pork
81 have often admired how a frog
could jump" said the guest, who after
ward proved to be city official con-
nected with the park department.
Even now, in my middle age, like to
startle a frog who thinks that he has
found a secluded spot in the shade, and
make him jump. Why, I've seen a lit
tie fellow who didn't weigh more than
half pound jump eight or more feet.
If we men could only have such powers
in proportion to our weight a man
could stand on the sidewalk in front of
window of the Park Row building"
AT that rate" piped in a fioridlook-
ing man, who happened to be standing
near, and had been heard to say that
he was a Wall street operator, there
must be frogs in our July corn. No,
don't hit me. I've been hit already"

About the Blues.

Young people should never have an
attack of the blues But some of them
delight to take gloomy views of life,
to cultivate sadness, to think that they
are badly treated or having hard
time to get along in the world, and to
imagine that they are going to die
early. This is a foolish frame of mind
for most of them.
The blues usually come from
clogged liver or an -overworked stom-
ach. A man in perfect health rarely
gives wav TO melancholy If he does
the cause of it is usually that he is in
the state Of sin.
Sadness belongs to saran. The good
should rejoice always. = clear con-
science is a pretty safe defense against
the blues.

The Short Step Between.
Philadelphia Record.)

81 was on the Paris when she ran on
the rocks off the English coast a couple
of years ago. said a Philadelphia trav-
cling man yesterday, land in the panic
that ensued there was an incident that
stands out in my memory, illustrating the
slender thread between the tragic and
the ridiculous. We had a fellow on board
who had managed to keep pretty well
loaded all the way across and when we
struck the rocks he was in his usual con-
dition. When everybody thought for sure
we were going to the bottom, he sat down
at the piano in the saloon. and what do
you suppose he began playing? Home,
Sweet Home Somebody went to him
and begged him to stop. Immediately he
switched off from the doleful strains of
The old song to the rollicking melody of
Down Went McGinty.' The absurdity of
the thing seemed to strike severybody at
once and a general laugh followed. The
tension was relieved and there was good
order after that

UncIe Jack and
Bis nepDew. By ye Srss51s H.

1.-THE conversation last week was al
together taken up by Uncle Jacks
comprehensive reply to his nephew,
who inquired why the Catholic church
did not assert the equality of all men
and compel all to live together as
brothers. Uncle Jack reviewed the ca
reers of historical personages of Cath
Ole times, and showed that it was not
those who obeyed the church and ac-
cepted her principles and maxims who
brought evil upon her. Those tyran-
meal princes, kings and emperors, like
Henry w of Germany, Frederick Bar
barossa, Frederick II, Louis of Bavaria,
Philip the Fair, Henry and his son John
of England, Charles lie Mauvais, and
Pedro the Cruel, were not obedient, but
most disobedient, sons of the church,
Protestants before Luther, who made
war on her and incurred her anathema.
They oppressed her and their subjects
in spite of reclama lions. AS a general
rule, the civil authority, even in Cath
Ole states, has always been jealous Of
the ecclesiastic authority, and restrict
ed as much as it could it's free and full
exercise

his uncle's explanation, puts the in

we can do nothing. I am rejoiced at
your good disposition, my friend, and
you may come this evening at e
o'clock"
'eVry well, father But you will help
me, hope. 1 have forgotten all about
confession, and I do not know any
prayers
No prayers at all-not the Our
Father" Surely you must have known
that in childhood
Il have forgotten it,
"Or the Hail Mary?'"
I have forgotten that also"
We'll, well. But you must have said
some prayers, now and then, to have
received the grace which Almighty God
is working in your soul"
No, l have never said any prayer,
because, as l told you, / do not know
any. But there are a couple of little
verses my mother taught me more than
fifty years ago. Often at night when
am in bed they come into my mind-a
matter Of habit, you see, and frequently
/ have fallen asleep while murmuring
them to myself"
will you say them for me now?"
asked the priest, quietly, Il would like
to hear them"
The old man began, without the least
u dC0 VI Observation-Disclosures.
II put my trust forever,
o Mary pure, in thee;
Then show myself a mother,
And daily succor me.
And when deaths hand shall touch
me.
Thy pity I implore;
Oh, lead me, dearest Mother,
To God-forever more!"
MY dear friend, don't you know
said the priest, that, though you may
have been entirely unconscious of it
yourself, the Blessed Mother of God,
whom none has ever invoked in vain,
has always had you in her keeping?
You have great cause for gratitude.
Come to me this evening; it will not
take long to restore to your memory
the Our Father the Hail Mary and
the Act of Contritior.
AS the priest pursued his homeward
walk he said to himself: II believe, in
spite of his apparent good health, that
the hand of death has touched him.
And so it proved. The old man made
a good confession and received holy
communion the next morning. The fol-
lowing day he was found dead in his
behave Maria.
