course way as merely personal,
and, above all, as not warranting
the slightest exhibition of rancor
or bitterness.
Catholics His Friends.
Among my best and closest
friends are many Catholics. The
respect and regard Of those Of my
fellow Americans who are Catho-
lies are as dear to me as the re-
spect and regard Of those who are
Professionals.
On my journey through Africa I
visited many Catholic as well as
many Protestant missions. AS l
look forward to telling the people
at home all that has been done by
Professionals and Catholics alike,
as I saw 1t in the field Of mission
airy endeavor, it would cause me a
real pang to have anything said or
done that would hurt or give pain
to my friends, whatever their re-
ligious belief But any merely per
sonal considerations are of no con-
sequence In this matter. The i'm
portant consideration is the avoid
ance of harsh and bitter comment
such as may excite mistTust and
anger between and among good
men.
The American Attitude.
The more an American sees Of
other countries the more profound
must be his feelings OF gratitude
that in his own land there is not
merely complete federation, but the
heartiest good will and sympathy
between sincere and honest men
of different faiths-good will and
sympathy so complete that in the
innumerable daily relations of our
American life Catholics and Pro
testants meet together and work
together without thought of the
difference of creed being even
present in their minds.
This is a condition so vital to
our national well being that
nothing should be permitted to
jeopardize it. Bitter comment and
criticism, acrimonious attack and
defense, are not only profitless,
but harmful, and to seize upon
such an incident as this as an occa-
soin for controversy would be
wholly indefensible and should be
frowned upon by Catholics and
Protestants alike, and all good
Americans.

The failure TO arrange an audienc
'etween exPresident Roosevelt an

Cherry Pie.-While sour cherries
make far and away the best pie, the
sweet cherries are not to be despised.
They are usually pitted, though many
people like the flavor impaired by the
stones. This is. therefore, a matter
of option. A. deep tin should be used
for cherry pie. the deeper the better.
Many housekeepers complain that
their cherry pies run over in the oven
and much Of the juice is lost. To
prevent this waste OF nectar, a strip
Of cotton cloth may be wet and press
ed about the rim after the pie is all
ready to go into the oven. or a paper
funnel may be inserted In the OPEN

allow for the escape Of steam. thus
relieving the crust from pressure.

TWO BRAVE BOYS.

Every boy who reads this magazine
has heard the story Of the sinking
Of the Republic and of how the lad
who was the operator Of the wireless
telegraph stood at his post for hours
until he had brought help to passen-
gers and crew.
But here was little sequel to the
story which they may not have heard.
A week after the disaster, the man
ager Of vaudeville company offered
this lad no less than a thousand dol
lars month if he would appear on
the stage.
"Me?" he said, bewildered. "a
thousand dollars? Why, I'm no &C
tor! I'm only a telegraph operator
This reminds me of similar story
which is also true.

Penn Square, in Philadelphia, a high
old building filled with Offices and in
a ruinous condition. When a neigh
boring house was taken down, its
foundations were weakened and its

HOW NOT TO COMB YOUR HAIR.

Just as surely as hair is woman's
browning glory, 1t Is mans glorious
browning. That Is, to those that have
it, Those whose heads have pushed
up through their hair usually use a
huck-aback towel for the delicate
process of parting the hair, but un-
less one has the peculiar require
ments 1t is not worth while to cult
vate them.
Men with low, squatting foreheads
should not pull their hair down over
their brows, and men whose fore
heads are beginning to work back
should invite their locks down. II
you hair has quietly slipped down to-
ward your ears on each side, leave 1t
there. If you bring it up in strings
and wisp it will merely look like
climbing vines. and will never really
have the free-and-easy, homelike ap-
pearance that ought to be the part Of
all natural hair.
Do not part your hair any earlier
than you can help. Hair Is in hur-
ry these days, anyway. Usually 1t
doesn't stay more than long enough
to make sure that the baby is going
to be boy before it hastens of. It
will part Of itself soon enough, the
best you can do.
Before combing your hair you
should get acquainted with the archi-
lecture of your face. II your face is
of the harvest moon variety, do not
inlay your hair. Puff it up as much
as possible. It's better to look like
a feather buster on a Monday morn
ing than a scratched billiard-ba1l on
a Saturday night.
But if your face Is of long, gal
Looping ensemble, do not encourage
your hair to fluff. Instead keep 1t
down close to headquarters. If your
head inclines to run up to a cone, do
not spread your hair around In imi-
tation Of palm-tree thatch; rather
fluff it up and winrow it for fear
some INBRED person will begin to talk
about spring radish tops.-From the

married daughters house, which en-
dowed me with wisdom in the mat
ter. Never until l visited my son.
who married many years ago and has
with his wife, who was an only child,
her mother and his children, did I
have any conception Of the things
which the best-meaning mothers-in-
law do to madden their children-in-
law.
Every mOIuluS SluCS came uOm0
from my instructive visit to my son s
home, I have reminded myself that
the house in which I live is Helen's S,
that the life in which share is hers;
l remind myself that my standard in
household decorations, my beliefs on
child culture, my tastes in CONVEX
sation and manners crystallized more
than quarter Of century ago when
I was furnishing my home, bringing
up my children, entertaining my
friends and talking with my husband.
I have no right to try to impose them
upon Helen and her family.
And 1 pray. for the grace to live in
intimacy without instrusiveness. 1t
is the most difficult of arts; to attain
it is task which will occupy all my
faculties, without my scolding Hell

THE TOUCH OF 4 VANISHED
We sigh for the touch Of vanished
hand
The hand of friend most dear.
Who has passed from our side TO the
shadowy land
But what of the hand that Is near?
To the living's touch Is the soul inert
That weeps DER the silent urn?
For the love that lives Is our hand
alert
To make some sweet return?
Do we answer back In fretful tone,
When life's duties press US sore?
Is our praise as full as II they were
gone,
And could hear our praise no
more?
AS the days go by are our hands
more swift
For a trife beyond their share.
Than to grasp-for a kindly, helpful
lift
The burden some one must bear?
We sigh for the touch of vanished
hand.
And we think ourselves sincere;
But what Of the friends that about
US stand,
And the touch of the hand that's

The Conductors Baton.

According to the Investigations of a
Frenchman, the credit Of inventing the
conductors baton belongs to Lully, the
composer, who eventually had cause to
regret his invention. Before he adopt
ed the baton conductors were In the
habit OF pounding on the 1oor with
their feet or clapping their hands to
mark the time. Lully found It weari-
some to keep his foot constantly in mo-
tion and so used a stick to strike the
floor and beat time. He used pole
six feet long. One day he brought
down the pole with such force that 1t
struck his foot and made a deep
wound. He paid no attention to the
matter. The wound grew worse and
ultimately caused his death. After
his time conductors tried more and
more to improve the baton, and 1t was
ultimately brought TO its present form.
