The Bishop and the Robber,

A host of admirable stories are told
by Bishop Talbot in his delightful book
of "reminiscences, My People of the
Plains Here is one of them, told
apropos of the frequency of stage rob-
berries:
Il never had Bishoy Kempers ex-
perience in the early days of Kansas
The bishop was the victim of a hold
I'D one night when he was the only
passenger. The driver told the road
agent, who covered him with six
shooter, that his only passenger was a
bishop.
Well said the robber, wake up
the old man. / want to go through his
pockets
When the bishop was aroused from
a sound slumber, and realized the sit
uation, he gently demonstrated with
the man behind the gun. He said
Surely you would not rob a poor
bishop. | have no money worth your
while, and / am engaged in the dis
charge of my sacred duties
Did YOU say you were a bishop p
asked the road agent.
Yes; just a poor bishop.
What church,
The Episcopal church
The HI you are! Why, that's the
church 1 belong to. Driver you may

Italians Need a little Irish.

If the Italian Catholics in Italy had
little of the Irish spirit, says The
Freeman's Journal, We would hear less
of the ruf1ianism of the anti-clericals.
A good illustration is related in one
of the transatlantic papers, The Cath
Ole Times. The people of Tivoli were
celebrating the feast of their patroness
st. Symphorosa. They had fireworks
in the evening. The students of the
Irish college meant to witness them,and
returning home to the college villa aft
erwards-for their country villa where
they pass the holidays is outside the
town-they were attacked by some So
cialists. Those towards thought they
were dealing with Italian seminartsts.
They soon found their mistake. The
Irish students stood and did not let
themselves be knocked down without
knowing why. The result of about
two minutes attack and defense was
that the towards ran-except one, who
had to be taken to the hospital, and is
probably still there.

Are You Critical?

DO anv of us women realize how much
of our ordinary talk consists OF crltl-
cism? There is no doubt that it is in
teresting to watch people. to study
their characters and ways, and to COM
municate our impressions about them
to others Take away the element OF
personal criticism, and conversation,
one must admit, would lose a good deal
Of its interest. Yet it is not little
disturbing sometimes to reflect, after
leaving a house where you have been
entertained for half an hour by
sprightly and witty comments on mu-
tual acquaintances, that in all proba-
bility your own personality is furnish
ing the text for a similar entertain
ment with the next group of callers.
After ALL it is better to be kindly than
amusing. 1t is better to pass over a
good deal that does not quite COM
mend itself to us $50 long as no prin-
ciple is involved) than to be always
making a fight for ones own way of
doing things at the cost of friction and
disagreement Hundreds of years be-
fore the Christian era when an east
ern poet wished to sum up his i'm
pressions of perfect womanhood. he
closed his deal portrait with these
words: she opened her month with
wisdom and in her tongue is the law
of kindness"

AsaiIina the Humble Prune.

Dorchester Democrat and Chronicle.)
1t cannot be denied that the prune
is nutritious. If it were not. whole
generations of boarders would have
persisted of starvation. But it has no
variety of flavor. A dish of stewed
prunes tastes the same in all climates
and in all ATTITUDES. Other fruit charms
by its variety of flavor. Apples for
instance, differ as much in flavor as
vinegar and molasses. The trouble
with the prune is that it leaves moth
ing to the imagination. A man learns
as much about it's flavor by eating one
prune as by eating all the prunes in
creation. This sameness is a fatal de-
feet. Surprises Turk even in boarding
house hash. but not in prunes.

Where Ambitious Women Fail.

Only the woman who can do the
small things at home, conquer domestic
difficulties, and fight shoulder to Shout
der with her husband in the days of
adversely, can hope to do bigger or
greater things in the outside world.
Some women get the idea into their
heads that they are cut out for some
great career-for some sort of ideal
existence. They are not always sure
what sort, but something far removed
from the petty affairs of everyday
home life. The woman who suffers like
this-and she doesn't forget to let
others suffer at the same timeAmay
possibly have some talent, but il isn't
really anything to talk about if it does
not include the power of making her
husband happy, her children charming
and their home life ideal.
But she never thinks of this point of
view. She regards herself as misnat-
ed. as having made a terrible mistake
by marrying a man who is not capable
of understanding her.
She thinks that with a man who I'M
derstood her, and helped her along,
she could conquer worlds. At present
she is femmed in by husband and chill
dren. she is not allowed the opportuni-
ties her soul Graves, and so on. She
can talk and moan on forever.
When you look at this woman's home
then you begin to pity those who be-
long to her. She has but a poor lit
tie scrap of talent if she cannot rise
above the level of the most slovenly
peasant and keep her home in apple
pie order. Her thoughts cannot be
very great and noble if she is con-
tent to let her children run about in
a neglected condition. Her soul can
not be very lofty if her sense of duty
is so small that she fails to be help
mate to her husband and does not
make her home attractive. And these
are the duties she took upon herself

(Lune Linnincott's.l

A deaf old gentleman dined with a
family where grace was always said.
When the guests were seated the host
bowed his head and began to repeat
the accustomed verse in a subdued
reverent tone.
"Eh? What's that?" demanded the
deaf old gentleman. who sat beside
him.
The host smiled patiently and began
again, in louder, more deprecatory
voice.
Speak a little louder. 1 don't catch
what you say" the old gentleman per-
sisted
A low ripple of laughter went round
the table. The host. his face crimson
with embarrassment, raised his Voice
and repeated the verse. The deaf gen
tleman did his best to hear, but failed.
He placed one hand upon his hosts
arm:
What did you say?" he demanded,
irascibly.
The host cast him an angry glance.
'D-n it, I'm saying grace" he
snapped.

And touched my blinded eyes and

OF life l trace the word of prophecy
In flaming letters; my mortality

Many of Loves disciples have pursued
His wandering steps with worldly

Many have climbed, as for a festival
The mountain where he feeds the null

For me-the wonder of the miracle!

Did you ever hear of Saint Molaga
1t was he brought the honey bees into
Ireland. There was little silver trout
used to swim round and round in 1t,
and he, too, was blessed and called st.
Molaga's trout. The waters possessed
the power of healing, but it was un
lawful to use 1t for any culinary pur-
pose, and it couldn't be got to boil To

A Study of Faces,

The faces of the women one passes
in the street form a curious, and, too
often. a saddening story. One woman
purses up her lips, another screws her
eyes into unnaturalness, while a third
will wrinkle UP her forehead and eve
brows until she looks absolutely ugly
The trick is an unconscious one. but
it is none the. less a trick, and d bad
one. There is no reason why a woman
should look forbidding and bad-terl-
pered just because she annoyed about
something. Deep-seated trouble mas q
way of writing itself on the face,
whether we will or not. Sickness, too,
has its own handwriting. and will not
be concealed by art. But the frown
caused by superficial troubles should
not be entertained by the face for an
instant. We should strive to look as
pleasant as possible for the sake Of
others; a corresponding cheerfulness of

With gayety and laughter
The vagroms chasing after
The butterflies come racing DOWN
The meadowlands in bloom.
They scatter fragrance ever
That lingereth-for never
Can soul forget in vain regret
The clover's sweet perfume.

Come prancing down the meadows
The vangrom crew in every nue.

They fade away, like will o Wlsps

BE NOT DIsMAYED,

From hottest fire comes purest gold.
From darkest cloud the flash behold;
From dark, deep mine the fiawless gem
That sparkles in yon diadem.
From dull, cold earth the faint per-
fume
That telleth of the lilies bloom;
The fearest hopes spring fresh from
fears,
Eyes all the brighter shine for tears.
The weary feet know sweetest rest,
Comes truest prayer from heart op-
pressed;
Beneath the lash of wild despair
The very bravest deeds we dare.
Full bitter draughts oft WOO relief,
Oft holy peace begot of grief
Have patience all is wrought for good
If we, dear heart, but understood.
