The Working Girl In Society.

THE social position of the working
girl is recognized, and it is with her to
be a success in society or not. She is
quick of wit, and she need make no
mistake if she notes what the older
women do. She will, if wise, make for
herself friend of some woman in So
ciety who is older than herself, and VINO
is kind of heart. But she must not pre-
sumo upon this kindness. The girl VINO
works, like the girl whose duties are IN
her own home, must learn what tact
means.
"a well-mannered, tastefully dressed
agreeable girl is a social delight
Beauty is not a social necessity, but a
desirable personality is. Therefore
when your neighbor has a Joy you VIII
be invited to divide it with her. Selfish
ness is a girls social ruin. Tact, when
is society's word for consideration ann
sympathy. is the art you must cult
vate. And what is tact, after all? I"
is saying and doing the right thing al
the right time and in the right place.
And that is nothing more than you are
asked to do by the greatest of all
Teachers, the doing unto others as YOU
would they should do unto YOU

The Rule of Example.

Parents often complain of their chill
dren's want of obedience. These com
plants would at times be heard less
frequently were the conduct of the par
ents more exemplary, How many par
ents you find whose conduct is far from
inspiring their children with confidence
respect and veneration toward them.
How many parents are selfish, dishon-
est, devoid of patience, meekness, chart
ty and even purity! They break the
laws of abstinence. habitually neglect
prayer holy mass, the reception of the
Sacramento the reading of good books
and papers, and yet they expect their
children to become models of virtue
We all can only reap that which we
have sown. Remember that example Is
better than precept.

MAKING The BEST oE III.

A foot of sky thro' a dusty pane,
Yellow with sun. or gaay with rain;
Yet you never need look for the sky in
vain.
The sad little pain-tossed watcher sees.
If he patiently kneels on his small, tired
kness,
A glimpse of the preening tops of trees.
His vision at night is a rosy bar
OF the sunrise splendor so fair and far:
The hope Of his day is an evening star.
But the dream Of dreams, and at once
came true,
Was-a tiny cloud in the patch of blue.
A cloud, and the bird that across 1t
few.
Sunset skies thro' dusty pane,
Stars and clouds and the morn again
Yet you never need look for the sky in
vain.

To Keep Healthy.

If you are wakeful eat lettuce
For torpid liver eat freely of as

If the bowels are diseased try black

If nervous and irritable eat plenty of
celery.
For malaria and general breakdown
eat cranberries.
Never strike or box a child's ears.
This has been known to rupture the
drumhead and cause incurable deaf
ness.
For affections of the skin and for yell
low skin eat onions. Onions are also
good for colds, coughs, scrofula.
For constipation eat fruit, ripe and
healthy fruits. Fresh fruits are good;
so are figs and dates. Reasins are bene-

Our Mother.

Oh! white the hawthorn blossom,
That blooms in early May:
And white the timid snowdrops,
That peep beside the way;
Yet not so white as the chaste broI
That we have crowned today.
Oh! sweet the breath of violets,
Within their leafy bed:
And sweet the scent of roses,
From hearts of crimson red;
But sweeter still the fragrance
Thy blessed name does shed.
Oh, fair the star of morning,
Yet, fairer thy pure face:
Let blossoms pale beside thee:
Thou Rose of mystic grace;
The Queen of Saints and Angels,
But Mother of our race.

In early days of springtime when the
dark
Is all pulsation. Through the dusky
park
Shy. scarlet maple-buds with sleepy

Hung dropping overhead. In rapt sur
prise
I felt the stirring life, whose hidden
spark
OF strange. mysterious fire awakes
the lark,
And bids the frail anemone arise.
Then came a melting fragrance IN
awares
The breath of violets which softly
rose
From out their dewy purple OF repose,
Sweetening the dark. 20 Love-" l cried,
that dares
Reveal itself to darkened souls like
mine,
I feel Thee clasp Thee!-Jesus, Lord
Divine.

MAKING THE BEST OF 1T.
Do Not Look on the Gloomy Side of
Life, but Try to Live in the Bright
Spots Where the Sun Shines.
BY ArIetta 3. Garfield.


The man who always makes the best
of things usually finds the best of
things coming his way.
This is none the less true of woman
and the one who smiles when the clouds
are thickest is the first to see the sun.
Dissatisfaction to a certain degree is
necessary to progress, but it is beyond
this that it becomes an impediment to
| success. If we were satisfied with con-
ditions as we find them. nobody would
rise above them. We would be content
to stay in the mire about our feet in
stead of aspiring to the halo to be found
only on the heights.
But even though you are still in the
mire and struggling for a foothold on
the path that will take you out of it,
don't spend your time in complaining
about the color or the GOODNESS of said
mire.
Use your strength in the upward pull
and keep your eyes in that direction;
then you will find neither time nor
breath to whine about the situation.
Try to Be Satisfied.
If you have not income enough TO al
low you to dress as well as your neigh.
Dor or to enjoy amusements sucn as he
INDUCES in, does it help matters any
for you to go around with corrugated
countenance and a disposition like
buzz saw?
The result is that everybody gets as
far away from you as circumstances
will allow and you have yourself to
thank for it.
The woman who allows herself to de.
velop into an animated lemon because
her husband is not well enough off to
provide a servant for her is another
nuisance whom all like at a distance.
Growls never yet lightened load.
You may make up your mind that no
matter how lily you think the world is
treating you, there are others not very
far ayyay worse off than you are. And
If you would spend little OF your time
IN irving to find such persons and allie
Waiting their woes a tiny BIT your own
would assume a less lugubrious appear
aflce.
whatever you are, and wherever your
lot is cast. make the best OF IL while the
situation is yours. and work TO better
II at the same time.
Making the best of things does not
mean that you should sit down, salts
fed with i'll conditions. but that you
should not use your energies IN abusing
these conditions, but in trying to make
them better. II you are square peg In
a round hole. don't wear Oft all the cor
ners trying to get even with the world

LOVE OF MONEY AND POWER.
Two Traits That Are Distinctly Amer
lean, But Lacking Wisdom, They
Are as Nothing.

It would hardly be thought neces-
sary for anyone now to advise young
men about to leave college to honor
money, honor money getting and
honor power" yet such was the strong
est note of a baccalaureate orator at
Dartmouth. If there is anything on
earth or under the earth that on-com-
ing Americans do not need to have
urged upon them, it is love of money
and love of power.
This may be said without indOTsing
in any respect the malicious, and,
for the greater part, insinceTe at
tacks upon wealth so often made by
demagogues and hypocrites. The pas
sion for money and the obsession Of
money-getting have become altogeth-
er too conspicuous as American traits.
They bring little content to those who
are thus afflicted, and they awaken re-
sentiment in the breasts of millions.
In spite Of new teachings and prac-
tees, knowledge still is power. Sup
plemented by wealth, knowledge be-
comes power triumphant Without
wisdom the power of money is law
less and destructiVe-a curse to its
pOssessOT and an evil example to the
world.

"Ah," she cried, "you are too gen.

ing four hours a day, she will prac-
tice eight. Thank you, kind sir, thank

"One moment, madam" the man OF
wealth hastily interrupted. There
is a small condition attached to my
gift. Your daughter must sign this
paper. 1t pledges her not to play the
new piano within ten miles of my
residence, or any of my apartment

The Man of Fifty.

The man of so may lack something
in both ambition and energy, but he
has the advantages of experience and
sounder judgment His years have
been i'll spent if he has not acquired
a degree of wisdom. AS for capacity,
no employer of so or 60 years will
admit that he is less able to do his
part in the world than he was %
years before. He probably rates his
own powers considerably higher than
they were at the earlier age, and if
he retires from business at the latter
period he does not confess that it is
because he is no longer able to at
tend to his affairs as well as he ever
did. He ought to be willing to Judge
of the ability of other men of his age
with equal favor.

DEATH, THE GREAT LEvELER.
in the Republic of the Grave There Us
No Rank or Standing or
PrerogstiVe.

In the democracy of the dead, all
men at last are equal. There is neith-
er rank nor standing nor preroga-
tive in the republic Of the grave. At
this fatal threshold the philosopher
ceases to be wise, and the song OF the
poet is silent. Dives relinquishes his
millions and Lazarus his rags. The
poor man is as rich as the richest, and
the rich man is as poor as the pauper.
The creditor loses his usury, and the
debtor is acquitted of his obligation.
There the proud man surrenders his
dignities, the politician his honors, the
worldling his pleasures; the invalid
needs no physician, and the laborer
rests from unrequiteG toll.
Here at last is natures final decree
in equity. The wrongs of time are re-
dressed, injustice is expiated, the
irony of fate is refuted, the unequal
distribution of wealth, honor, capacity,
pleasure and opportunity which makes
life so cruel and inexplicabIe ceases
in the realm of death. The strong
est there has no supremacy, and the
weakest needs no defense. The might

pons sunerior to Men.

Dogs are property. Men are merely
human beings, and as compared with
the rights of property in dogs the
rights of human beings go for the
most part by the board. The owners
of dog property may be and usually
are outnumbered four or forty to one
in any well-settIed community, but the
minority's dog property may make
night hideous for the majority and ap-
parently the majority is helpless,
without redress. Such are the safe
guards which the law throws around
property in dogs that it is more diff
cult to prove that the dogs of any
given owner of dog property are pesti-
lential disturbers of the peace than it
is to prove human being guilty of
murder. Those who have tried this
have found it to be so.

bill or defy Aldrich, and swings with
all the force of something more than
800 pounds Of active muscle and bone.
Immediately the stroke is made the
president assumes invariably one atti-
tude-that of anxious expectancy. He
always follows through" on drives
and brassie or iron shots so his club
comes up over the left shoulder. 1t
remains there while he watches the
course of the ball, his lips slightly
apart and his body bent forward
When the ball has settled he straight
ems up and laughs.
No one who ever played with the
president missed that laugh at the end
of his stroke. If the play is a good one
the presidents laugh is a shout; but
even if it is a drive into a bunker or
off the course, he laughs. Senator
Bourne, Gen. Edwards, Vice-President
Sherman and others who play often
with Mr.. Taft have remarked on the
fact that he refuses to lose his temper.
1t makes it hard for man who does
get angry and swear, and these three
feel that they have grievance. No
one of them hesitates to express his
opinion of a ball that does not go
where he intended to drive it, except
when he is playing with the president.
Mr. Taft probably is most impress
siVe in his golf game when putting.
His putter is a massive piece of wood,
iron and lead. The face that strikes
the ball is broad, corrugated and with
weight behind 1t. The president does
not smooth the turf In front of the ball
before putting. He squares himself,
carefully shifting his feet until he is
directly In line with the hole. Then he
puts with care, and watches, again,
anxiously the course Of the ball. If it
goes around the cup, instead OF into It,
the president says "Pshaw." Then he
laughs. and tries again. That laugh is
the most trying part Of being partner
or opponent Of the president at golf.
It gets oa the nerves of a man who
wants to swear.

But the president stoops down in
way that never will reduce the waist
