Learn From Everybody.

One of the most useful success hab-
its one can form is that of learning
something from everybody with whom
he comes in contact. No information
which can be acquired is too trivial to
be ignored, says Success contributor
Constantly measure yourself with
the people you meet. You will find
that every one can teach you some
thing which you did not know before
and which, perhaps, you would never
have chance to learn again if you
did not acquire it from him.
Daniel Webster once made a great
hit in arguing a case before jury by
repeating a story which he afterward
said he had not thought of since he
heard it fourteen years before But
Webster was always picking up some
thing for future use. His famous reply
to Hayne, the greatest speech ever
delivered on the American continent,
was largely made up of, little reserves
which he had picked up here and there
in his reading, from studying men and
from observation
Many a prominent novelist has col
lected material for his stories by max
ing notes of his conversations with
those he has met and by observation
Charles Dickens got a great deal of the
matter for some of his novels in this
way.
One young man will go to a lecture
and, after spending an hour listening to
the helpful, inspiring words of some
prominent man. will leave the hall or
lecture room without having derived
any benefit from the address. Another
young man will attend the same lecture
with an ambition to learn something
He will drink in the speakers sentences
as if he were never to hear. such words
of encouragemen and inspiration
again. At the conclusion of the address
he will determine that he will make
more of his opportunities in future;
that he will read more, think more,
study more, be more than he ever was
before. Such a young man has a pur-
pose and is determined to learn some
thing from everything he comes in
contact with and from everybody he
talks to. The other has no ambition,
does not throw himself into what he
does, lets his mind wander hither and
thither, so that he never wholly under
stands what people are saying. and
therefore never derives any benefit or
information from those with whom he
converses.

For His Sake.

VINO is there among US who has not
some secret little drawer or box with
careful lock, and sometimes we steal
alone to our room and unfasten that
little hiding place, which looks so com
mon, and take out some treasure which
is perhaps morea precious to us than
gold. What is it? Only perhaps a lit
tie lock of hair, only withered violet.
only possibly a faded packet of old let
tiers, quite out of date, only per-
haps little baby's shoe. Yet there
are old voices and memories connected
with those Slight things which make
their value quite inestimable. And as
we look at them the sunny scenes come
back of the days that are no more.
and there is a magic in them which
surpasses the wand of the magician.
We love them for the sake of that dear
one to whom they once belonged. to
whom we feel they still belong.
So should it be with the things that
belong to God, the men whom he has
created in his own image. They belong
to him, they are his, they speak to us
of him, they are living witnesses to US
of his love and providence and care.
Him we cannot see, but we can see the
human creatures whom he has made.
Them we must love because we love
him. Them we must pity, because he
pities them. Them we must think for
and feel for and labor for, because he.
our tender, heavenly father, is work
ing for them too, and slumbers not nor
sleeps in his care for their souls and
bodies

Il have some water in my canteen.
You are welcome to drink it if you'll
come here" said the confederate, who
had feebly raised his head from the
ground to look at his late enemy when
he heard his pitiful cry.
L couldn't move to save my life
groaned the federal, as he dropped his
head to the ground, while HIS whole
body quivered with agony.
The confederate lifted his head again
and took another look at his wounded
foe, and an expression of tender pity
came over his pain distorted face as ne
said:
Hold out a little longer and I'll try
to come to you.
Then the brave fellow, by digging his
fingers into the ground, painfully
dragged himself to the federal's side,
the blood from his mangled legs making
a red trail the entire distance
When the painful journey was fin
lshed he offered his canteen to the fed
eral, who took it and drank eagerly
Then, with a deep sigh of relief, he
reached out to the confederate; they
clasped hands and looked straight INTO
each others eyes.
A moment later the confederate's
body quivered, and when his head
dropped to the ground one more hero
had crossed the dark river. The fed
eral kissed the dead mans hand re-
peatedly, and cried like child until he
was presently removed to the hospital,
where he, too, died the next day.

Bishop Janssen's Resignation,

Elsewhere in these columns we have
written commentatively of the reported
resigna ton of the Right Reverend, the
Bishop of Belleville, of his see. The
secular press of st. Louis expresses it's
establishment at this resignation The
Globe Democrat of that city says:
"A strange and almost unprecedented
thing is about to occur in the Catholic
diocese of Belleville, Ills. Bishop John
Jansen has resigned his bishopric, and
as soon as he is formally released by
the pope, he will retire to a Franciscan
monastery. there to end his days in
quiet and seclusion. To the general
world the announcement of a bishops
resignation becomes a matter of
amazement. In the long history of the
Catholic church in the United States
only few instances are known of
prelates of the same standing as
Bishop Jansen who have resigned their
sees, One of these was Bishop Miege,
the first Bishop of Leavenworth; an
other was Bishop O'Connor of Pitts
burg"
The resignation of bishop is not "a
strange and almost unprecedented
thing in this country or elsewhere;
nor is it "a matter of amazement."
Besides the two prelates mentioned in
the foregoing quotation, Archbishop
Salpointe resigned his arch episcopal
see of Santa F'e, N. NJ, in 1894; Arch
bishop Seghers his of Oregon City in
1884; Archbishop Lamy, also of Santa
Fe, resigned his in 1885; Bishop Persico
of Savannah resigned in 1872; Bishop
Mark of Marquette in 1878; Bishop
Curtis OF Wilmington in 1896; Bishop
Domenec of Allegheny in 1877; Bishop
Conroy of Albany in 1877; Bishop
Grace of st. Paul in 1884, Bishop Mora
of Monterey in 1896; Bishop O'Regan
of Chicago in 1858; Bishop Hailandiere.
of Vincennes Qndianapolis) in 1S47;
Bishop Whelan of Nashville in 1864;
Bishop Doubourg of New Orleans in
1926; Bishop Lootens, vicar-apostlic of
Idaho, in 1876; Bishop Reze of Detroit
retired in 1887; Bishop Flaget of Bards-
town (Louisville) endeavored to resign
in 1882, so also his Co-adjutor Bishops
David and Chabrat in, respectively,
1888 and 1S47.-The Record.

Which Way Madness Lies.

From the report of the commissioners
in lunacy the deduction has been
drawn in certain quarters that celibacy
favors and marriage tends to prevent
insanity. The inference is unwar-
ranted At ages over 20 Iunacy is full
four times as prevalent in those who
are single as compared with the mar
ried. The correct conclusion is the
same-though to less degree-as in
regard to consumption; the presence
of the infirmary, incipient or developed.
prevented matrimony. Another errone-
Gus conclusion was that lunacy is much
more prevalent among clergy of the
Church of England than among dis
senting ministers. The clergy are
classed by themselves, whereas the dis
man Catholic priests, missionaries.
scripture readers, nuns and sisters of
charity; consequently no comparison is
possible. A further false corollary was
that actresses were largely subject to
alienation. The figures given comprise
in one group actors, conjurers, per-
formers and others engaged in theatres
exhibitions and shows, and therefore
defy distinct classification. So far as
conditions in life and occupation go
easy circumstances, moderate activity
and life in the open air favor mind as
they do body. Perhaps the most re-
markable exception is the high rate of
mental disease among hucksters, cos
termongers, hawkers and peddlers.
Notwithstanding their open air callings
the rates are 1853 for males and 1863 for
females, practically three and four
times more than the average for most
workers. Some other cause than occu-

A YOUNG CATHOLIC POET.

Among the younger poets of New
york, perhaps none is more promising
than Mr. Thomas Walsh, whose work
has attracted serious attention for the
| past three or four years, in the pages
of magazines like Harper's. the At
lantfc, the Century, Lippincott's, the
Bookman, the Smart Set, the Cosmo-
! politan and the Critic
In this hour of prolific verse writing,
when names are suddenly made we'll
| known through work that is only pass
| ably good, when one can force himself
into public notice simply through re-
peated appearances in certain quarters
where merit is not the main considera-
ton: at such time it is a relief to
ma one young singer who could doubt
less make his name almost a house
mold word, but who, because of a sin
| cere devotion to his art, refuses to pub
lish Dromiscuouly and at every least
opportunity. l forget what great ed
ltor it was who once said that the dan
ger menacing our young authors, and
particularly our young poets, was
their seeming desire to rush into print
before the best in them had had time
to grow and mature. 1t is very true
that the enormous number of maya
zines issued today offers a temptation
to those seeking recognition which it
is hard to resist. But when one has a
real message to deliver he will always
be heard. Edwin Markham is a fine
example of the beauty and value of
waiting. For many years his voice
was heard only through an occasional
lyric, but the moment came when he
stirred two continents with his power
full poem
Mr.. Thomas Walsh is essentially a
lyric poet. The lyrist has always been
needed; j. is absurd to believe that
the writer of epics is the only poet
whose influence the world has felt.
Shelley and Keats tore down an an
cient myth. The lode to Skylark"
will live as long as Paradise Lost"
There are few Catholic poets who in
this era have gained recognition, but
more pitiful still, few of those who
have been heard have allowed any re-
ligious feeling to permeate their work.
But readers will discover in Mr..
Walsh's poems a beautiful and tender
love of Christianity, and in innumer-
able lines he proclaims his faith. Let
me quote 1.Deipara": -----.
Two names, are sovereign on the HIPS of
man.
Since ever Time with deathiess wings
was shod,
Or the white order of the world began
The name OF mother and the name of
God.
But He who on the gibbet would resign
His godhead to the trembling hands of
Death, --------
Calling thee Mother of Himself divine.
Made glory bankrupt in a single breath. |
There is not, believe, a more daring
or beautiful statement than this in any
of Father Tabbs or Father Fabers
poems. 1t is of course truly Catholic. |

And we're in the accurst thing

Yet not for grain and garlands green
We tune our Tyres.
Nor citadels, nor power, nor place,

But for the fairer- fashioning
Whereby we sing the songs we sing.
Our souls sincerest Offering,
Our deep desires.
We thank Thee for Thine image. Lord,
The spirits seal;
In blood embossed at wondrous cost
Thy last appeal
And for life's real achieving,
For fragile faiths believing
Hope. sorrows sweet relieving
And soulful zeal.
For these, dear Father Heart, we hymn

Proclaim new notes and melodies
And Visioned Dreams
Mix with the music of the spheres.
And sing Thy love throughout the

Till earth's autumnal hour appears
And death redeems.

Hospitality and Alcohol.

Some people. having an erroneous
idea of hospitality, think that the of
fering of spirituous drinks to those
who come to visit them is an indis-
pensable part of hospitality. Such a
custom has done a great deal of harm.
In countless cases it has been the cause
of others getting into the habit of TAX
ing such beverages too freely. In this
country, no matter where young wo-
man may go, if she is refined and we'll
bred, she is never seen partaking of
any kind of spirituous drinks in the
presence of others. To many people
who mean well there may not seem
any possible harm in taking a social
glass of wine or beer, but the young
woman who would do this runs the
risk of impairing the delicacy of her
character in the estimation of those
whose friendship is worth having.
There is an unselfish sweetness in that
woman'S life who is total abstainer,
not in the sense of crank, but simply
for the sake of those who are weak in
resisting temptation and also for the
sake of setting an example of elevating
womanhood to home and society.

Pumpkin Pie.

Now that the pumpkin pie season is
at its height here is a delicious, whole
some recipe that might well be pasted
in the family cook book: One and a
half cups of steamed and drained
pumpkin, one-quarter cup sugar, one
half teaspoon salt, one quarter tea
spoon cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nut
meg or one-half teaspoon lemon eX-
tract, one egg. seven-eighths cup of
milk. Mix sugar, salt and spice or ex-
tract, add pumpkin. egg, slightly beat
en-, and milk gradually. Bake in one
crust. If a richer pie is desired, use
one cup of pumpkin, one-half cup each
of milk and cream, and an additional
egg yolk.
If, the shape of the rind is to be pre-
served, its pulp can be scraped out eau
tiously and steamed in dish, then
rubbed through a sieve in the same way
as though it had been steamed in it's
rind. Carefully cutting the upper one
third of the pumpkin off to form a iid,
then scraping out the contents and lin
ing the case with parafine paper, makes
very seasonable receptacle for the
serving of ice cream.

Bishop Garrigan Takes Vacation.

After a very busy five months in the
new diocese of Sioux City, Rt. Rev. P.
j. Garrigan left this week for the
east, where he expects to indulge in a
little breathing SPELL He will probably
return about Dec. 1.
Bishop Garrigan found plenty of work
in the new diocese upon his arrival
here on June IS. Nor did he, after the
excitement of the installation exercises
was over, hesitate to undertake the
large task before him. With character
istic energy he plunged at once into the
work, and between confirmation tor
the planning of various church i'm
provements and numerous other duties
he has been a very busy man.-Iowa

Meaning of the Apostlesbin

A correspondent wishes to know WHY
the Apostleship of Prayer is so named.
1t is thus called because it's work is
the same as that of the aDostles-to
promote the glory of God and the sal
walton of souls-by using the same
means as those of the apostles-prayer
and good works, offered in union with
Christ our Lord. and with the senti-
ments of His Divine Heart. The more
popular title is the League of the Sa-
cred Heart. which indicates the close
and active spiritual union which it's
members cultivate with one another
and with the Heart of Jesus.-Iowa

Heroes Both

Much has been written concerning the

lack of incidents which are worthy of
record.
Quite recently it. has beer. related that
two wounded soldiers after a desperate
encounter, were lying about forty yards
apart. One was federal, the other a.
confederate. A cannonball had broken
and terribly .mangled both the confed-
crates legs, while the federal was shot
through the body and thigh.
