almost every man he met and spoke
with used profanity. but finally he
found one man who talked to him for
twenty minutes without using an oath.
As they were about to separate my
friend shook hands with the stranger
and said:
You don't know how glad | am
to have chance TO have talk with a
man like you. You are the first man
| have met for three days who could
talk for five minutes without swear.

The stranger was so surprised and

In every country of the civilized world
Sisters of Charity are known. Not only
do they minister to the spiritual and intel
lectual needs of the charges committed to
their care, but they also minister to their
bodily needs.
With so many children to take care of
and to protect from climate and disease.
these wise and prudent Sisters have found
Peruna a never failing safeguard.
DR.. Hartman receives many letters from
Catholic Sisters from all over the United
States. A recommend recently received
from Catholic institution in Detroit.

Dr. S. B Hartman, Columbus. Ohio:

Hard to Get Work.

Booker T. Washington. in a speech
in New York City before the colored
branch of the Y. NJ. c. A. declared
the real problem for the colored par
ent in the North is not that of getting
his son and daughted educated. but of
finding a lob for them after they re-
ceived their diploma.
"If white boy gets a place in an
office and does his duty, he is assured
Of advancement" said the speaker,
"but the black boy has got to work
twice as hard to get there. Any man.
black or white, who has learned to do
something better than his fellows, has
solved his problem
