Kind Words.

Kind words do not cost much.
They are quickly spoken. They do
not blister the tongue that utters
them. They never have to be re-
pented of. They do not keep US
awake till midnight, 1t is easy to
scatter them. And oh, how much
good they may do! They do good
to the person from whose lips they
fall. Soft words will soften the
soul. They will smooth down the
rough places in our natures. Care
to say kindly things will drill our
natures in kindness.
1t will help pull up all the
roots of passion. 1t will give us a
spirit of self-control. 1t will make
the conscience delicate and the dis
position gentle. A woman can not
make habit of speaking kind words
without augmenting her own gra-
DuL DSIISl villa w
their influence upon others. If cold
words freeze people, and hot words
scorch them, and bitter words mad
den them, so will kind words repro
duce themselves and soothe and
quiet and comfort the nearer.
They make all the better elements
of ones nature come trooping to
the surface. They melt our stub
bornness. They arouse an APP
probation of better things. Let US
say the kindly word. No one can
tell how many burdened hearts may
be relieved, how many discouraged
souls may be inspired. Say it
every day to the one who disturbs
you while you are busy, asking
for work to the one who has al
most lost hope; to all. Remember,
kind words can never die.-Sacred
Heart Review.

A PUBLIC LIBRARY
Let's Hustle for 1t.

The project for securing an audi
forum seems to have been aban-
doned as a proposition of too great
dimensions. The prospect of rails
ing $40, 900 to $4,000 for such an
enterprise was discouraging, and
in lieu of an auditorium public at
tention is directed toward the es-
Enlistment of library, an enter
prise of equal utility and much more
feasible.
A library of reasonable size can
be secured with the outlay of a
comparatively small amount of
money. Books are cheap, especial
ly that class of books that are the
most popular, that constitute far
the greater part of the reading of
the public-history, narrative, fc-
ton. One thousand dollars, judi
ciously expended for books of the
popular class, would establish the
nucleus of library that would un.
doubtedly be appreciated in this
community and create such an in
creasing desireIfor more literature
as to make additions to the library
comparatively easy. Funds to buy
books and increase the library can
be the more easily secured as the
reading public interests itself in
the use of the library.
1t would be desirable also that a
reasonable number of periodicals
should be secured in connection
with the books, which would con-
template a reading room as il would
scarcely be policy to allow patrons
to take periodicals home as their
value depends largely upon the
fresh current news they contain.
The room where the books of the
library are kept would be used as a
reading room.
AS we understand it the city
council is authorized by law to fur
nish and maintain a room for a
public library, SO that the funds
raised by subscription would all go
to the purchase of books.

OBITUARY.
MRS. ELIZABETH STAPLES GRAY.

Mrs. Elizabeth Staples Gray died
at her home in Leonardsville, Mimi !,
March IA, 1907, aged AZ years and
8 months. Her husband died June
2, 1906, and since that time Mrs.
Gray had been in declining health.
Two of her brothers and three sis
terS of her husband were present
with her in her last hours. The de-
ceased, the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Sherman Staples, was born in
the town of River Falls, Wis, June
Is, 1864. On July 4, 1885, she was
married to VIM. A. Gray. Soon af-
ter their marriage Mr.. and Mrs.
Gray located at Leonardsville, Mimi,
where they had since made their
residence. Four children were born
to them, all of whom survive-two
daughters, Ella and Grace, aged 20
and IA, and two sons, James and
Willie, aged Is and 10 years, re-
spectively. The sympathy of all is
extended to these orphans in their
bereavement.
A hush had fallen on the house,
The shadows softly drawn,
And one beloved was lying low;
For death was drawing on.
They bent above her tenderly,
With hearts of love and woe,
To catch the last sweet utterance
And hear her whisper low.
What confidence is in her tonel
What peace is i'll her facel
She does not meet the storm alone.
She finds refuge place.
The waves of DEATH though cold and dread,
Cannot oerwhelm her soul
Her faith hath pierced the clouded Sky;
She sees the heavenly goal.
Silent in Christ, the loved one lies,
Sleeping and hid in him;
Her eyes no more shall look on strife,
And tears no more will dim.
After moment of repoSe,
AS one who wakes at dawn,
She'll rise to find immortal joys,
In heavens eternal morn.
'Tis precious dust we lay away:
Angels will guard the spot,
And in the resurrection day
She will not be forgot.
When earth shall reel in fire and hail,
She'll hear tn Archangel's voice.
And rise to immortality,
And evermore rejoice.

Tapestry in our own time is a luxury. and so it

OF the modern world ii early began to play an

monasteries and converts and time went on

usual elaborate codes. The statutes of

must have but one apprentice at a time: women
not allowed to practise the craft on ac-
count of its painful or arduous labor. and work

earlier weavers were conservative in matters of
design, simple and generally formal. but as the
craft gained in impetus. it gained in courage.
and freely used pictorial motives. In the four

fair abundance of data to Mr. Thomson. designs
for tapestries are notably ambitious: the style
is often archaic and naive but the religious and
historical narratives In favor sometimes

vacty.
It IS interesting TO note that tapestry in it's
golden age was appreciated by royal and other
collectors. with an ardor foreshadowing the
modern connosSeur. Take. for example, the
history of Philip the Hardy Duke of Burgundy,
in his relation 10 the town of Arras. He gave
generous support To the industries of his do
main, and dealing with ArraS he was especially
keen on developing the manufacture and sale of
tapestries. Says MIR. Thomson:
