True Spirit.

Up in Archbishop Ireland's territory
Catholics did a good turn the other
day when they put stop to the carica-
turing of st. Paul. Some of the truly
good people of the northwestern city
had set up the saint in the garb of a
fat and greasy monk. Protest was
made without effect. Finally the fun
came to sudden halt when the pas
tor of the Cathedral announced that if
the insult were continued protests
would be read in every Catholic pulpit
in the city and a meeting of $1,000 men
would be called in the Auditorium for
the same purpose, whereupon Santa
Claus promptly climbed the platform
upon which the other statue had been
set up. All Of which goes to prove that
if all of US would do our duty all the
time nothing could stop the conversion
of America within the next ten years.

Foruet the Past.

Tenacity is an admirable thing, but
there is a tenacity that holds on to
things that tend to hamper the prog
ress and enfeeble the mind. Take, for
example, the man who holds on with
a vice-like grip to the past. He can
not forget old failures and defeats, and
he is forever thinking regretfully OF
bygone happiness and grieving that he
cannot recall it.
Such men should remember that it is
as important to let go what cannot help
them and cling only to that which can.
All the men who have done great
things in the world have been as no
table for their power of resolutely
breaking away from the things that
hinde1ed them as in attaching them
selves to all that could aid them in adj

the opening up of Nigeria the outlay of
France on Senegambia or Dahomey; and then
imagine how the government of Liberia could
without any reserve of capital bring law, order
and civilization into densely forested terri

able population of over a million warlike saw
ages and semi-savages.
So long as Britain and France-the control

mere occupation of a few coast towns on the
seaboard of their West African dominfons or
protectorates the Monrovia government could
afford to do the same. But when these great
European powers were compelled by force OF
circumstances to occupy and administer the
regions behind their coasts the Lfoerians

trade, could be overcome, but In 1922 active

settlements were afterward formed at Cape

the world outside their tribal land) were quite
willing to regard the Liberians as the ruling
power on the seashore. But they very
disincIined to obey orders from Monrovia If
contrary to their own desires.
The tribes farthest inland looked upon the
British and French-the white men"-as ag-
gressors who were putting down by force a
most lucrative slave trade, who were forcibly
disclosing the secrets of sacred streams like
the Niger near it's sources. who, in short, were

Bees and Cucumhers.

A correspondent of one of the lead
ing bee journals is authority for the
statement that more than 100 growers
of dollhouse cucumbers in Massachus-
etts have found 1t necessary to keep
bees In their buildings to "set" or
fructify the cucumbers. Over 1000 col
onies are now being used In this way
and in most cases 1t has Jeen found
necessary to replace these colonies
each year. This has created a steady
demand for bees, and the benefits de-
rived have been so apparent that this
demand promises to grow. At present.
however, an earnest effort is being
made to determine If possible, why col
onies thus kept In hothouses are short
lived, since the necessity Of replacing
them almost yearly is not only very
expensive but seems great sacrifice
of the Industrious little insects.
