 The sail filled and the vessel slowly wore away from the westland.

 "Wc'll go clear" I said after him, and cold as it was, for it was the last part of November, l wiped the sweat from my forehead.
 Suddenly the bark lost the wind and 1 ran aft. No one stood at the wheel.
 Skipper" I called, and began to turn cold.
 I grabbed the wheel and brought the bark 10 the wind all the time looking around for the skipper. ] cried out for StoWman and when he came aft l asked him to take the wheel and went down into the cabin. The mate was there taking a dram of spirits.
 Did the skipper come down. l asked.
 Why, the shippers drowned he said.
 I opened the captains statcroom and there that little kid was sound asleep jest as calm as if he had a been in his crib ashore.
 Now, boys, you heard me say the skipper was a stcerin' with his left hand and when his body was washed ashore they found his right arm broken.

 Ut was the shippers spirit come to save his little boy" replied Jim.
 "What came of the kid?" asked l.
 "Oh, when we came into Whining ton in tow of steamer they tele- graphed up north and his grandfa- ther came down for him. The way he cuddled that kid made it plain he'd have a good berth in the old mans homc."

IRVING AS AN EDUCATOR.
Tribute Paid to Great Actor By His
 Lifelong Associate.

"1he late Sir Henry Irving was much more than a great actor; he was a great educator,' said Mr. Bram Stoller in a touching eulogy of the famous actor-manager, with whom he was closely associated for 30 years.
 When he began his own manage ment he resolved that q theater could be a place of education, and he made it so.
 'The committee appointed for the revision of the Bible, when they had finished their labors, went in a body to the Lyeeum and placed 1t on rec ord that this theatcr IS place for good
 'Whcreyer he wen hc became a recognized educational force. He was asked to lecture at Harrow school, at Oxford, by Dr. Jowett, at Cambridge and most of the other great universities in all parts of the world.
 If all tie people who went to see Irving added the lecturer, ''were placed in a long line, allow ing each a yard of space, and the sun shone at the head of the pro- eession, when t set rearly 12 hours later a thousand miles of people would still be waiting to see Irving.
 "They would stretch 12,000 miles, allowing the low average of $2,ooo for each performance.
 And of all the millions of peo- pie who saw him." concluded MT. Stoker, "there was not one who did not take away some noble thought"

THE FAITH OF THE BOY.

The four-year-old son of certain western senator had very high opin ion of the importance of his father The latter tells how, on one occasion in their western home, the lad came across a magazine in which, by some chance, there were engraved, side by side, portraits of the president and the senator mentioned.
 When the lad caught sight of hls fathers features he broke into broad smile. That's good picture ot you, daddy" said he.
 Very good my son
 Who's the man next to you, dad dy?" asked the youngster.
 Why, my son!" exclaimed the sen- ator, don't you know? That is one of the greatest men of the world, man more admirable and more power full than any king. That, my son, is President Roosevelt"
 The lad again looked at the picture of the president. Then. after a thought ful, pause, he observed:
 Say, daddy, the people in the east will be awful proud when they see the presidents picture next to yours, won't they?"-American Spectator.

PLEASED THE BISHOP.

Bishop Potter relates that on the first occasion when he visited Bishop Eastburn, Phillips Brooks predcces- sor as bishop of Massachusetts, Bishop Eastburn, after dinner, fid- geted a little, glancing at the side board. Bishop Potter's father had been well known as a stern oppo- nent of the use of tobacco. But presently Bishop Eastburn rushed 10 the sideboard and got a box of cigars, at the same time remark ing, lugubriously: "Dr. Potter, presume that you don't smoke 7" "Whenever l get a chance l do," answered Potter. Whercupon Bish- op Eastburn's face broadcned into smile, and he exclaimed: Thank God was afraid you had in- hcrited the detestable prcjudices of your father"

HE CARRIED THE SAMPLES.

A certain York county preacher for long time had been dosing himself with a fiery concoction prescribed for some stomach trouble. One day while dining at hotel he treated himself, as usual, to the regulation heroic dose An inquisitive Boston drummer on his right hand inquired the reason for tax. ing the medicine. The preacher ex- plained his stomach difficulty, and the benefits of his treatment, and the drummer, who was himself subject to indigestion, then related his own symptoms and politely requested the privilege of trying the remedy The sympathetic preacher freely gave him very generous dose, which speedily took effect.
 As soon as the travelling man recov- cred his breath and wiped his tears he thus accosted the minister:
 "I understand that you are preacher"
 II am, sir
 Do you preach hell-fre?"
 II do. sir"
 Well, you are the first preacher that I ever saw who carried round samples of it"-Boston Herald.

 Queer way to talk to skipper, wasn't it? but when l was half orazy with fear of going on them bloody shoals in the night.
 He never said word.
 l noticed that he was steering with his left hand and that the bark was answering to the helm for the first time since she had gotten in the Irift. Stowman came aft.
 Who's that at the wheel?" he asked me.
 "Cap'n Snow" I answered, "and he's steerin' plumb ashore"
 "Then he wasn't washed over ?" said Stowman.
 I saw him go over the rail, said I, staring at the figure at the wheel.
 With the helm hard as a starboard the bark went straight for the break CTS and l held my breath waitin' for her to strike.
 Then the skipper shot the spokes to port and the wind lulled. It came again in about three minutes and dead from nor west.

 Immense quantities of documents found at the Nunciature were seized and taken to police headquarters.

 After meeting of the cabinet min isters it was announced that on De cember Ii Minister Clemenceau will ask parliament 10 suppress the pen sions of the clergy, to liquidate the public property of Catholics and to dis tribute the presbyteries. seminaries, etc.
 It is also positively stated that the government has decided to expel from France Monsignor Montagnini, secre- tary of the papal nunciature at Paris, who has represented the Vatican here since the recall of the papal nuncio.
 Premier Clemenceau, replying to question Iii the Chamber of Deputies as to the reason for the expulsion Of Mgr.

Interference by foreigners on orders from Rome in the politics ot France, he declared, was not permissible. The premier, amid fhunderous applause, tersely summed up the situation, declaring that the governments conciliatory propositions toward the church had been exhausted and that it had been decided in future to leave the onus on Rome.

SHORT ROAD TO PERFECTION.

It is the saying of holy men that, if We wisk 10 be perfect, Ne have nothing more To do than perform the ordinary duties of the day well. X short read to perfection-short not because easy, but because perti- nent and ineligible. As soon as a person really desires and sets about seeking it himself, he is dissatisfied with anything but what is tangible and clear, and constitutes some sort of direction towards the practice of 1t.
 We must bear in mind what is meant by perfection. It does not mean any extraordinary service, any thing out of the way or especially hcroic-not all have the opportu- nity of heroic acts, or sulferings- but 1t means what the word perfec- ton ordinarily means. By perfect We mean that which has no flaw in it, that which is complete, that which is consistent, that which is sound-we mean the opposite of im- perfect. He, then, is perfect who does the work of the day perfectly, and we need not go beyond this to seek for perfection.-Cardinal New
