AUNT BUSY HAS HER SAY.

Dear Nieces and Nephews: Aunt
Busy is wondering why some Of her
dear girls and boys do not try to win
the beautiful book, THE Life of
Christ that will be given to any reg
ular subscriber Of The In'termountaiu
Catholic who, in sending his subscrip-
ton. will send 10 cents additional, or
any present subscriber sending in his
subscription may receive the book free
If he viii send the name of a new sub
scriber at the same time, with 81 to
cover the same.
Aunt Busy thinks this is a most eX-
celent chance for the dear nieces and
nephews to receive Father Elliot's
beautiful book. Read the following de-
scription Of the book and see if you do
not all want it:
Various books dealing with the life
of our Savior have been published at
various times. but unique among them
ali is the work. which embraces the
sntire gospel narrative embodying the
eachings and the miracles of Jesus,
ogether with the history of his foun-
lati0n of the Christian church. The
uthOr. Rev Walter Elliot, c. S. P, is
yell known as an eminent Paulist mis-
'i0nary. He is also an author of high
repUte and this book is his latest and
most important work. II is a volume
of 500 pages. with more than 1000 illus
trations. many of which are half-tones
showing modern scenes in the country
made sacred by the life. passion and
death of our Lord. To the clergyman
this work will be eminently useful in
preparing sermons; to the layman it
will offer an attractive and entertain
ing picture of the Savior's life and la
bors The publication of this book is
most timely now, being in accord with
The recent Encyclical of the Holy Fa-
Their at the opening of the twentieth
century. calling the nations back to
Christ and urging a more intimate
study Of his life"
Aunt Busy hopes TO hear from her
girls and boys about this splendid
premium. AUNT BUSY.

A Sunny Disnositinn

If girls only smiled more and frowned
less. how much happier would the
world be! If we only could persuade
ourselves to believe that gladness is
our rightful heritable and that happy
hearts are the most acceptable to God
and the most conducive of good. then
we would find it easy to cultivate a
sunshiny disposition. "Oh," you say.
1T is impossible for me to be happy
with such circumstances as mine!''
This is the very reason why you should
cultivate happiness in order that you
may overcome your circumstances and
not let them overcome you. 1t is sur
prising what different ascept things
will assume when one endeavors to bet
ter ones self. Selfishness and unhap-
piness go hand in hand, while thought
fulness and kindly consideration for
others prepare the way for joy. We
are often the cause of our own un-
happiness, although we may not be will
ling to put the blame on ourselves.
Where there is the desire to be hap
Ply the means are always within reach.

She was dressed for the dance and

1t is when a woman thinks she looks
particularly well that she expects an
immediate and favorable reply to her

like asking for thing when one hap

promptly.

"Oh, 1 have some shopping to do. 1

What, for instance?"
"Oh. lot of trifies-some collars for
one thing"
He looked at her sharply. For the
moment she had forgotten that he was
somewhat prejudiced against decollete
gowns and that they had had numerous
arguments on the subject.
For that gown?" he asked.
Now, why do you ask such fool
ish question as that?" she demanded
Because" he replied pointedly. 'if
it's for that gown you could use a belt

A little boy was sailing boat with
a playmate a good deal larger than ne

To have her picture made;

Because she was afraid.

When it begins to stare at me,
That awful cameras eye)
My kitty wiggled all about
And stood upon her head,
And ! forgot the camera
Until-"All done!" they said.

The queerest thing-you see,
The kitty didn't show at all
The picture was of me!

A rosy burden bearing.

She looked at me with grave, sweet

And answered, as in swift surprise,
"Oh, no. am; he's my brother.

To help the old world onward:
Our ewes with tears are often wet,
SO slowly it moves sunward.

OF this dear little mother
Unwearying we'd bear up the weak
Because he is my brother"

boy who boasts that he is going to do
so much for his mother when he's a
man" and who will not even do so
much as study his lessons for her now.
The present work, whether ii is adding

or doing an errand, is the work that is
the true test of love. People who do

Time for Reckoning.

The time for blatant ignorance and
wanton slander to have effect with
the voters OF louisiana has passed.
Those papers and politicians that
have been making so free with the
truth and Juggling with the facts
will only find that their malignity
will rebound upon their own heads.
Just as Gen. Jastremski as gentle
man hms been forced to apologize for
and retract his wild charge that the
State administration is run at the
beck and nod of the "boss of the
Bosses" and as MIR. Jonas has been
forced to admit his mistake" about
defeating tie Mexican treaty. and
lamely apologize for rejecting upon
the manhood and integrity of the
Democrats of this State, even SO are
their advocates and supporters daily
being forced to the wall by the logic
of facts aud sound reason.
In Murphy j. Foster, the people OF
Louisiana understand and appreciate
the fact that they have a statesman
without peer, and n political de-
batter that can hold his own I'm the
councils of the nation. In NewtonC.
Blanchard they recognize a man of
proven worth and ability, vigorous
in mind and intellect. and rich In the
knowledge that will make him n great
and good governor. These men, be
ing proven in their integrity and fit
ness for Office, have each added to
their poplllrity before tie people by
going heartily into the primary cleo
tion SD the people as Il mass can pass
upon their records. The time for
reckoning draws nigh, and already
can be seen the sure and steady gain
they are making as the various men
and issues are being discussed upon
the public hustings.
