the good things of life, deliver us
from the hell box and fill every de
hnquent subscribers heart with
a dollars worth of remorse:
guard over the office devil and
deliver him from wiping his
hands on the office towel; give
us many periods of rest; keep
our stomachs justified to run up
against Mondays meal. Deliver
us from getting out of sorts, and
give us the patience of Job who
wasn't a job printer; help us to
our bushes, it may lie picking

Keep our circulation up to a heal
thy standard and one that will
need no padding Give us our
daily bread, but deliver us from
Pi, at any price deliver us from
throwing mud at the opposing

them. And her our forms are
locked up for the hereafter, let
them be put to press in such a
manner as to leave a clean and
lasting impression upon man
kind. Amen"

them, forests and stretches of sodden earth were
ever before them; and they began the ascent
of the Pedernales- Mountain of Flnts-which
for twenty miles lay in rugged opposition, contest
ing their march. The horses began to bleed, for
they could hardly move pace without slipping and
cutting their legs The soldiers, losing heart, were
sinking the mountain slope, and again the ra-
lions failing. Cortez, with pike in hand, led
the way the most trying parts of the road; he
moved among the dividing food with the sick
and furnishing, cheering the respondent, and en-
holding the faint-hearted. "At last" he writes,
CATER twelve days of toll, the terrible flint road
ended" Forty-three men and sixty eight horses
persisted, some from exhaustion and hunger, others
slipped from the rocks into the abyss and we're swept
away by the raging torrent. They left Mexico City

and emaciated, but full of fight, brought what re-

his vessels with food and recruits, awaited him.

OFFENDED FEELINGS.

To think about something else is the best and
only sure cure for offended feelings. To think
about the offense-its unkindness, its injustice its
meanness of spirit and all its other ugly aspects
only adds to its sting and deepens our own suffer
ing or anger. This hurts us and helps no one.
Eggs are not the only things that given added
life and power by being brooded over. If we want
to enlarge and multiply everything unpleasant in
that which has offended us, brooding over it will
do it. If we want to have done with it and get it
out of life quickly possible, to turn DELHI
erately away from it and concentrate our thought
and energy upon something else is sure road to
success. "When anyone has offended me, / try to
raise my soul SO high that the offense cannot reach
it," Descartes is credited with saying But we can
not lift ourselves by mere will power We can lose
ourselves by devotion to something else-and thus
we can lose the offense

OUR DUMB FRIENDS.

Mr. A. Horses article on GLOW to Treat Man"
is going the rounds. 1t should be read by every
friend-and especially every enemy of the noble
beast:
When man drops from sheer exhaustion or i'll
ness promptly seize an end-board or cart-stake and
pound him on the head and on the ribs; if this does
not fully recuperate him, kick him violently in the
stomach This treatment will restore him if per-
sistently adhered to. If a man finds his load too
heavy and feels that it will seriously strain him to
proceed tear off fence board and knock him down,
then hammer him thoroughly. This will give him
renewed energy and he will make no more ado Do
not on any account reduce his load. If a re-
fuses to drink when offered water, do not give him
a chance again for several days. and so "teach him"
to be thirsty at any time you find it convenient to
give him water. 1t is a good plan to ply the whip
freely to a man while at work. No matter if he is
doing his best, hit him now and then "on general
principles just by way of preventing him from
taking any particular comfort. If his load is not
heavy, oblige him to go faster to make up for it.
Tilt your mans head back in unnatural position
with his eyes turned toward the sun-this makes
him 'look pretty" and prevents stumbling In win
ter remove his clothing to prevent his taking cold
He will also dry quicker when you work him. Men
thus treated are much healthier than when allowed
winter clothing.

of a mountainous load of COAL urging his horses

He could perceive by this time that the woman
was trembling from head to foot as she suddenly
seized his arm in convulsive grasp and cried:
You right! Go there! Ask him to protect
you! And follow me no farther!
Hartley supposed at first that she merely
offended by his delay in accompanying her, but seek
he might he could discover no trace of her since
that moment when he had seen her flying like
wild thing down the rocks that as natural bulwar
lay upon that side of the city
His suspicious were naturally aroused, but it
was only after time that he was enabled to
find out her real character, and that she acted as
a decoy for of the most desperate bands of brig
ands that then infested the envrons; also that his
own iberty-if not his life-would most certainly
have been sacrificed had he not held fast to his pur
pose of entering that sacred edfice and praying to
the good Saint Anthony And that is why he wore
forever after upon his watch chain the medal of his
protector and loved to recite the story to his in
innate friends ANNA T. SADLIER.

MORNING HYMN.

CAS- sung by FIR. Magin Catala and His Indians
The dawn appears and ushers in the day,
Ave Maria-fondly let us prayl
For sinners consolation vert thou born
First ray of hope and brilliant star of morn.
Thy birth, O Queen, is Heavens richest bloom,
1t fills the earth with JOY, dispels sins gloom.
The cunning serpent writhes and coils in pains,
Lest it do harm, thou fetterest it with chains.
At sound of thy sweet name, o Virgin chaste,
Doth tremble hell and demons fly in haste.
With voices glad and joyful let us sing,
A hymn to Mary, Mother of our King.

KEEP HOME LIVELY.

The winter season draws members of the family
into closer companionship, and the, heads of he
household, especially those in quiet neighborhoods,
should consider the problem of home amusement
There are many parents who force light, cheerful,
young people to go out from the family circle to
find the fun for which they crave. Laughter and
fun in the house are as essential to it's well being
as the serving of meals.
Have box of games handy; they are so mex
pensive; coax everyone to learn some musical in
strument-you have no idea how enjoyable home
concert is; encourage good card games, for these
learnt and played at home in a spirit of self-re-
straint teach many useful lesson, and lessen the
danger of temptation when the young birds spread
their wings and fly. Play with the young people,
and do not imagine it is waste of time, which
ought to be spent at the mending basket or news

FOOL AND HIS MONEY.


A traveller with mania for answering adver-
tisements had some curious experience. He learned
that by sending a dollar he could get cure for
drunkenness. And he did. 1t was: "Take the
pledge, and keep it."
Then he sent fifty cents to find how to raise tur-
nips successfully He found OUT Gust take hold
of the tops and life"
The next advertisement he answered read: ''How
to double your money" "Change it into notes and
fold them"
Next he sent for twelve useful household arti-
cles and got paper of needles.
He was slow to learn, so he sent dime to find
out GLOW to get rich": "Work hard and never
spend a cent"
That stopped him. But his brother wrote to
find out how to write without pen and ink. He was
told to use lead pencil.
He paid a dime to find out how to live without
work, and was told to Fish for easy fools, as we
do"

Virtue of Courage.

Many people are so afraid to die that they have
never begun to live. But courage emancipates us
and gives us to ourselves, that we may give our
selves freely and without fear to God. How sweet
and clear and steady is the life into which this vir
tue enters day by day, not merely in those great
flashes of excitement which come in the moments of
crisis but in the presence of the hourly periods the
continual conflicts.
Not to tremble at the shadows which surround
u.s. not to shrink from the foes who threaten u.s. not
to hesitate and falter and stand despairing still
among the perplexities and trials of our life, but

Who Is She?

There is a little maiden
Who is she? Do you know?-
Who always has a welcome
Wherever she may go.
Her voice is like the sunshine,
Her voice is like a birds:
The sweetest of all music
Is her lightsome words.
Each spot she makes the brighter
As if she were the sun,
And she is sought and cherished
And loved by everyone.
By old folks and by children,
By lofty and by low,
Who is this little maiden,
Does anybody know?
You certainly have met her;
Yes, now I hear you guess;
Well, must | introduce her?
It's sweet Miss Cheerfulness.

Purity of speech means something than
omission of vulgar phrases that ought not to be
used by any self-respecting person. A young girl
should carefully avoid falling into sangy
less modes of speech.
When girl says Gee whiz," at was something
