"uellor' said I. "What's that?' And
I stopped to pick it up.
"That?" replied the boy who happen
ed to be passing through the schooi
ward with me- THAT is nothing but a
lead pencil"
But it is a whole one," said l, land
with a rubber on the end"
'I know it," said the boy.
"What! Do you mean to tell me that
Won have seen this here beforeT
"Yes, everybody's seen it,
"Au the children In your school have
seen this lying here day after day and
not one boy has picked it up?"
s.Of course. What should we pick
it up for? There's plenty in the school
house. The town buys 'em."
And l had been given a text for a
long meditation. Not pick up whole
new lead pencil? And pencil with a
rubber on it.

A WORD FOR THE BOY.

A boy at Is years Of age, is, In my
opinion, at the most important period
of his life. He is at the forks of the
road. What he needs more than any
thing else is sympathy and advice. 1t
would be strange, indeed, if boys did
not build castles in Spain at that age,
and what they need is the practical
suggestion of someone, who is himself
4 success in life, togulde them. Most
people think that boys do not need
either sympathy or advice. 1t is a
great mistake. They need it as much
as girls. / have never known one of
them to refuse to take advice if it
were rendered to them at the right
time. in the right place and in the
right spirit. The mistake that most
people make in talking to boys is that
they lecture them in season and out,
persecute them with all sorts OF foolish
suggestions, and expect more from
them than they would from a man.
If / had any word of counsel to give
it would be: Don't lecture a boy.
Don't nag him. Don't persecute him
il he has done wrong. Don't laugh at
him il he has failed, perhaps in some
oyer-ambitious DoyiSh schemes. Don t
crush him. Don't break his spirit.
Give the boy chance. Show him his
mistake, and then show him what he
should do. When you crush boys
spirit you have ruined the boy-in all
probability he will blossom into a
tirSt-claSs dude.

II knowledge Grew.

How nice twould be IL knowledge grew
On bushes, as the berries do!
Then we could plant out spelling seed
And gather all the words we need
Aid sums from OFF our states we'd wipe
And wait for fgures to be ripe
And go into the fields and pick
Whole bushels of arithmetic.
Or If we wished to learn Chinese
We'd just go out and shake the trees.
And grammar then in all the towns
Would grow with proper verbs and nouns,
And in the gardens there would be
Great punches of geography,
And all the passersby would stop
And marvel at the knowledge crop,
And my pen would cease to push
And pluck my verses from bush!

new BUILDING
PLANNED BY PAULISTS

Rev. George M. Searle, superior general
Of the Paulist Fathers, with headquarters in
New York. has announced that the congre-
cation of which he Is the head is about to
build new house of studies at the Catholic
University of America, Brookland, D. c.
This is designed to replace the antiquated
Middleton manor house, which has been &C.
cupied for the past twenty years as St.
Thomas College.
The institution has not only outgrown its
hqne, but the building itself has been
patched and rearranged to meet conditions
until it is well-nigh to the point of being I'M
inhabitable. The Paulists hold a lease on
this property from the Catholic University
of America, and it Is stated that owing to
the fact that the present lease will not be
renewed, the university authorities have
granted the Paulists a better site on the
university grounds on condition that they
build a house of studies in keeping with the
buildings already erected.
Rev. DR.. A. P. Doyle, rector of the Apos-
tolic Mission House, and a prominent local
Paulist, has stated that the proposed en-
dowment will mark one of the most notable
architectural examples In connection with
the Catholic University. With large mod

Smartness and Aristocracy.
From the Westminster Gazette

The true social parallel between the
Spencers and the Cadogans'' lies in the fact
that each of these countesses began by set

cult and ended not indeed by cordial con-
version to it, but by practically recognizing
it as an institution inevitably incidental to
