Louis and Ralph are brothers. aged seven
and five respectively, and live with their
parents on Eighth street Both are remark
ably bright little fellows, but their incina-
tions follow widely different directions. For
instance, Louis is a financier; he saves
his money and schemes TO make more, while
Ralph is a spendthrift, cares more for
his pennies than he does for marbles, spends
them for candy as soon as his short, club
by limbs can carry him TO the nearest con-
fectionery store, and when he is able to
ticular about returning the money. Again,
Louis like all good boys, loves TO go to
Sunday-school, while Ralph does not seek
TO conceal the fact that he is little sim
ner'' and would sooner stay home and play.
The other Gay Louis was demonstrating
with his younger brother and advising him
against his bad habits, such as not mind
ing father and mother and playing on Sun
day AS an incentive to induce his brother
TO be good, Louis repeated to him what h,
had learned in the Sunday-school. to the
effect that all good boys go to heaven. To
make the lesson more effective, Louis told
Ralph of the reward which came to good
bows upon reaching heaven. They are
given wings" he said.
ssWhere do they get the wings from ?'
asked Ralph doubtingly.
Louis did not wish TO be stumped by his
profiigate little brother, but he couldn' {
lust figure out himself where the wings
came from. He did not at this stage, how
ever, desire TO have the lesson lost. His
quick mind soon found an answer, and he
replied that God got them from the birds. +"
''Humph," sighed Ralph, then all the lit
tie birds will have to walk, won't they?
Louis is not certain that his lesson TO his
Younger brother was effective.

progress made by the university, expressed
the greatest sympathy with the people of

out outside help and exclaimed:
1T is the true American spirit. You do
everything on a grand scale, even in the

This blessing comes from full heart"
While tears came into his eyes, affecting

audience with the Pontiff, said: II feel
that the pontificate of Plus y will be a new
era for the church, and especially for mis-
| sionary and spiritual work. The Pontiff
seems to be a storehouse of power which
| is felt by all who approach him. His aims
| and his course OF action can be summed
| I'D in the words of the motto, Restore all
