Bishop spaIdina's Advice.

Day by day parents and children are
confronted with the great problem of
life What shall l do with my boys
or my girls?" is asked by the parents.
What shall | do?' says a boy or a
girl. Bishop Spalding begins his lee
ture on opportunity thus:
How shall | live? How shall
make the most of my life? How shall
I become a man and do mans work?
This and not politics or trade or war
or pleasure is the question. The pri-
mary consideration is not how one
shall get a living, but how he shall
live for if he live rightly whatever
is needed he shall easily find. Life is
opportunity, and therefore its whole
circumstance may be made to serve
the purpose Of those who are bent on
or making them
selves capable of doing thorough
work"
And work il is that wins Any other
way of winning is unworthy of con-
sidera ton. A true man would not
want to win any other way Life is
fun Of opportunities to labor, and the
willing worker is surer of success
Such a worker has never failed never
will fail

Doll VS.. Teddy Bear.
New WORLDLY

Rev. Michael G. Esper, parish priest
at st. Joseph, Mo-, has spoken a word
of warning against encouraging little
girls to prefer the Teddy bear to the
doll There is something natural -
Father Esper truly says, lin the care
of doll by a little girl. 1t is the first
manifestation of the telling of mother
hood; and in the development of these
motherly instincts is the hope of all
nations. 1t is a monstrous crime to
do anything that will tend to destroy
these instincts. That is what the
Teddy bear is doing, and that is why
it is going to be factor in the race
suicide problem if the custom is not
suppressed" The point of his remarks
lies in the extreme impressibility of the
child mind. The instinct OF mother
hood is awakened and fostered in girl
children by playing with a doll; there
is no such instinct called out by play
ing with a bear, the most unsociable
of animals. Far be it from US to dis
that fondness for animals
which finds natural expression in chill
dren by having rag cats and stuffed
dogs and "Noah's arks," and toys, but
let us rot Danish the doll from the
The fad for the Teddy
bear has another phase which is less
serious. however 1t is no uncommon
occurrence to see girls in their teens
Juggling about a huge specimen of the
Ursus Theodorus. and even women
are said to have developed a silly fond
ness for the toy. Such nonsense will
end, of course, as soon as the craze is
past; but what shall we say meanwhile

victims of it?

The Battle of Life.

Did you tackle the trouble that came
your way,
With a resolute heart and cheerful
Or hide your face from the light OF
day,
With a craven soul and fearful?
oh, a troubles a ton or a troubles an
ounce.
Or a trouble is what you make it;
And it isn't the fact that you're hurt
that counts,
But only how did you take it.
You are beaten to earth? Well, well,
what's that?
Come up with a smiling face:
It's nothing against you to fall down
flat,
But to lie there-thats a disgrace,
Che harder you're thrown, why, the
higher you bounce;
Be proud of your blackened eye;
1t isn't the fact that you're licked that
counts
It's how did you fight and why.
And though you be done to the death.
what then?
Ii you battled the best you could
If you played your part in the world
of men,
Why, the critic will call it good.
Death comes with a crawl or comes
with a pounce,
And whether he's slow or spry,
1t isn't the fact that you're beat that
counts,
But only, how did you die

Good for Your Health.

Don't Kick if the street car COM

properly ballasted or if they press in

Rather be thankful to them for not
charging an additional fee for the med
zeal treatment which you receive. A
little shaking is good for your health.
Says a writer in the British Medical
Journal:
1T is open to question Whether vi
bratiOn should really enter into any
consideration of vehicles from the
standpoint of hygiene. A little shak-
ing has for long. indeed one might al
most say from the earliest stages so
far as modern medicine is concerned,
been regarded as a good thing for the
liyer-ona Of those luxurious forms of
treatment chiefly reserved for the rich
in the shape of a prescription to ride
in Rotten Row. 1t has been applied
likewise. though chiefly abroad, by
means of complicated machinery, to
the treatment of various other dis
eases. As produced by certain manip-
ulatiOns it is still the chief weapon
of certain SwedeS and others in the
West End. and it is the object in view
in sundry appliances occasionally used
in the treatment of deafness. When
the latter is due to immobility of the
ossicles it has been applied before now,
and not without benefit, by the sim

now is. this gratis treatment is no

The column had been winding all

it was approaching close woodland and

that trouble was probably lying ahead
He called to him his pet sergeant-the
man he had been saving through all

She Was SAVING Her Clothes.

The young woman was wearing q
raincoat when her friend met her in
one Of the shops the other day. It was
not raining
Aren't you warm?" asked the
friend
Roasting replied the young wo-
man. bitterly.
Then why the raincoat?"
Because l am saving my clothes,
replied the young woman, still bitterly.
L am going away for a visit four days
from now and my raincoat is the only
garment l have which | am willing
to wear before that time. / am hav-
ing So worth of laundry and $3.50 of
pressing done this week, and when

Helpful ponts.

If you make a mistake, don't brood
over it. Consider it only an incident
for the purpose of teaching you a les.
son.
Don't doubt your own judgment and
discretion in business. If you do
others will doubt it.
Don't be distrustful of everyone you
meet. If you are, you create an un-
wholesome and unfortunate atmosphere
about you which will bring only the
unworthy and deceitful. Keep whole
some. hopeful and sympathetic with
the world at large, whatever individ-
uals may do.
Don't forget that life is what one
makes it. Expect life to use you better
every year and you will not be disap-
pointed.
Don't forget that if there is nothing
but disappointing experiences in our
lives, the fault lies somewhere within
ourselves, though none of us like to adj
nit it.
Don't be the chemically injured per-
son.
Don't have continual grievance be-
cause you are not permitted to manage
all the affairs of others.

Simplicity.

To be ones real self is an inevitable
mark of superiority in the qualities of
heart or mind. or both. 1t is a pity
this fact is not better understood by
the vulgar and the ignorant who turn
to the artificial, the cheap show and
pageant, and whose desire to be and
to appear other than that which they
really are destroys what native charm
they may possess.
The cold formalities and memorable
rules of so-called society are not con-
ducive to the preservation of this most
beautiful attribute of childhood. Yet
occasionally we find a woman who has
never lost it and we pronounce her
charming with an emphasis which
would be a lesson to many a young
girl striving to attain airs and graces
that do not rightfully belong to her
If we admire the sweet simplicity of
little children, and, after all, it is their
chief charm, we have more reason to
reverence the guilelessness of one who
has passed through life's storms and
vissitudes and who has lost none Of
her loving trust in God or man, but
who goes on her way brave enough to
follow the good impulses of her heart
and be true to herself no matter what
station in life she may occupy.
The multitude is usually disappoint-
ed in great man. His bearing is ex-
pected to give evidence of extraordi-
nary genius or virtue or exalted posi-
ton. Yet frequently there is no trace
of it. He is only man and a very
simple and unassuming one. and peo-
pie fail to grasp the fact that true
greatness has no need to advertise it
self. So it is with women who have
had unusual advantages of culture and
education. It IS not necessary for
them to strive to impress their super
ority upon others, and they leave that
o their less favored sisters.

What the Voice Said at EVENING

Rest, life and be still The task of the
day is done.
What you have sown God trusts to the
soil, rain and the sun.
What you have dreamed in His thought
of days that are yet to be.
What you have hoped He counts in the
sheaves of eternity.
Rest, life and be still For you falls
the night-sweet boon!
Truth lives in eternal day-like the sun.
in eternal noon
Touch, Q soul, the soul of the infinite,
patient God,
Who plants the seed of the ages in the
moments moldering sod.
Rest. life, and be still God gave this
sunset hour
That, watching, you might feel the
peace of His quiet power.
In lights and colors of life no dusk Of
death can mar,
God plants this day in heaven, and
over it hangs a star.

Motormen Not Nurses.
Duluth Tribune. }

There is a certain little girl on Park
Point who is allowed to roam about
wherever she chooses. and it seems
that her chief diversion is stopping
street cars. The child will so out on
the tracks and sit down. utterly obliv-
ious of the frantic blasts that the mo-
tornan blows on the whistle of the ap-
preaching car.
Several times the motormen have
been compelled to stop the car and lift
the child off the track. The other day
the same motOrman was forced to stop
his car twice and remove the child
from the track. The second time he
was much exasperated, and, taking the
child, he led her home.
rs this your child ?. he sternIy in
quired of the charming young matron
who opened the door.
Yes, sir" she replied
Then for heavens Sake keep her
off the car tracks" said the irate mo-
torman; the company doesn't pay US
to De nurses
The woman was highly offended. but
since then her child has been kept
closer to home.

The True Cross.

Often has it been asserted that many
of the relics of the true Gross are
shams: that there are more than could
be carried by three hundred men; that
a house or battleship could be built
with them, etc. Calumnies innumer-
able and baseless as these are circulat-
ed among non-Catholics, and are ac-
cepted by many without doubt or ques-
ton, simply because they heard them
in their childhood. A learned Passion
list Father performs a valuable service,
therefore, when, in concluding an arti-
Gle on The True Cross. in the Record
OF Louisville, he asserts that, count
ing all the relics, only two hundred
and ninety-one cubic inches of the true
Cross are still in existence, and would
weigh. if brought together. only five
pounds and two ounces. The average
size of relic of the true Cross is about
of an inch long, and as
thin as ordinary thread

pon,t Think You Are Old.

certain amount of social life is
absolutely essential to the old as well
as to the young. A woman never
grows so old that she ceases to enjoy
the company of others, and generally
the older she grows the more she en-
joys it. 1t is always pity to see
man fall into state which he eX
plains by saying: "Oh, we're getting
old and don't care for so much variety
in our lives" says Wemans Life. In
the pure self1shness of his soul he al
ways speaks of "us" and 1--WE" as if
it naturally follows that because he is
getting antiquated his wife must keep
pace with him in his decline. Let him
keep in touch with the world and both
he and his wife will be the better and
the younger for it.

Distribute all the happiness you can
and if able. even by self-sacrifice, make

some extent, a form of selfishness, for
it makes ones own life worth While.
