Term;nai, Says Railroad
Work is Pro crossing

Two more train loadG cf stock
\ were shipped over the new Moreau
line of the Puget Sound into Mo
bridge and thence to the Chicago
markets today, today's shipment
making a total Of eight train loads
of stock which have been brought
in over this new line OF road now
building. The stock has all been
shipped by the Mattador outfit,
yards and loading shutes having
been built in the center of the big
ranch south and west OF Mobridge,
The new line brings the ranches
within thirty-seven hours OF the
Chicago markets, the time in
transit being cut materially by the
building Of this road. Last year
stock from the. western ranges had
to be driven for miles to the river
opposite LeBeau where they were
crossed on ferry and shipped
over the st. Louis road to the
markets. This at that time was
&thought to be a great improve
ment over former conditions, for
during the ten-year period prior
thereto the cattle were driven
across the long trail to old Evarts
where shipment was had. Before
EYarts and the old Evarts trail were
established cattle from the ranges
were driven westward to Belle
Fourche in the Black Hills and
shipment made over the Elkhorn
with the high mountain rates.
The building out Of this city by
the Puget Sound of the new branch
lines is bringing the ranches much
closer to the markets of the east,
every succeeding day seeing the
new railroads farther into the
heart of the cattle country.

SILENT SERVICE.

II cannot be of any USE" is an eX'
clamation used by many people. -
cannot be a missionary, L cannot nurse
the sick, or visit the poor and do fol
them. There is nothing really worth
while that 1 can do for Our Lord"
But our tongues are not the only
faculties we can use in the service OF
the Lord. Surely there are ways
grand ways, we silent people can be OF
use and a blessing in the world.
A star does not talk or make q
noise; but its calm, steady beam shines
down continually, and is a benediction
to many. A flower cannot sing, and
soon fades away and dies when
plucked; but it's sweet fragrance and
beauty make it a blessing. Be like a
star in your peaceful shining and a
flower in your sweet purity and fra
grant humility, and many will thank
God for your life.
The living sacrifice does not always
mean the active work. But it may
mean the patient endurance of a
wrong, the quiet bearing of a pain, the
sweet forgiveness of a wrong, or a
cheerful acquiescence in a disappoint-
ment. All these, and many more, will
make your life blessed, even though
silent, and you will be working con-
tinually for God.

A MOTHER IN ISRAEL.

The mother of the great Dominican
preacher, Father tom" Burke, was
much beloved by her gifted son. He
used to say: my mother, the old
convent in Galway, and the first
dawnings of my vocation are built up
in my soul together; the first, my
mother, the most intimate and en-
dearing of ALL" Yet, though Father
Tom was an only son-indeed, an only
child-he was by no near cOddled.
When in his youth he ieeded the
rod (Which, according to his own
story, was quite often) his mother did
not hesitate to apply it. He often
old that his mother considered such
corrective acts part of her sacred duty
to her boy, and she always began
them with prayer. direct, o Lord
u actions and carry them on by Thy
gracious assistance" she would grave
ly say, to the terror of her delinquent
son. when 1 saw my mother enter
the room, makes the sign of the cross,
n solemnly invoke the light of the
Holy Ghost to direct her, 1 knew I
could expect no mercy" said Father
Burke; II never got such a beating as
that directed by the Holy Spirit, and 1
have never forgotten it. At times by
way of variety the word direct was
changed to prevent But it never
did prevent. Down the lash always
came" Perhaps if we had more such
mothers at the present day we would
have more Tom Burkes. = Sacred

A CONVERT.

Colonel Felix A. Reeve, assistant So
licitor Of the United States treasury al
Washington, wrote a letter to the pa
pers recently in reply to the critics
who say that Catholics cannot be loyal
both to Church and country.
Colonel Reeve is a convert, having
come over from Episcopalianism more
than th~irty-four years ago. He was
baptized in Knoxville, Tenn. Before
his reception into the Church he do
mated the ground for a Catholic church
at Greenville, Tenn, which is still in
use, being attended by Father Gala
han, an East Tennesseean, who spends
there many days and nights, looking
up the scattered Catholics of thirty
four counties of that poor portion of
the Lords vineyard. On the day of
the dedication of that chapel, Colonel
Reeve, whose home was in Greenville,
occupied a front pew with ex-Presi-
dent Andrew Johnson, and enjoyed a
sermon preached by Bishop Feehan,
then bishop of Nashville, afterwards
archbishop of Chicago.-The Mission

IrishmeG, why idly slumber,
Needless. of the raging fray,
Caring not hat hearts undaunted
Bravely struggle towards the day
Towards; the light Of joy and gladness
Marching on for Ireland's sake?
Does the knowledge no INSPIRE you
For old Erin's pride? Awake.
Countrymen, why spend inactive
Time more precious far than gold
Cast aside that sad Indifference
Which has Iured you from the fold.
Join the ranks of Ireland's soldiers
No son should her cause forsake;
Let your battlecry be Justice
For your Observation-Disclosures
Apathy has rined causes
True and noble as our own;
Let US rally now or never
Fol ar erring past atone.
Scorn h venomed tongue of faction,
In the van III places take;
Round our proudly-waving standard
Emblazoned "Unity"-Awake!
Our cause seeks not disintegration,
IT'S a quest of love and peace,
To save Ireland for the Irish,
And make emigration cease.
Rouse then, brothers, from your
slumbers,
One great effort let us make,
So that to bright days of gladness
Our loved Ireland shall Awake.

THE BOOK OF YEARS.

In sleep I turned the volume of my
years;
The leaves were many, rough and
soiled and marred,
And here and there a line was
blurred and Scared,
Where to erase it 1 had tried with
tears.
No page was perfect, but through all
there ran
Fair lines and many spaces white
and clear;
All, small they were, the blotted
lines too neal
But each showed where a higher
thought began.
Unknowingly 1 traced these pages in
terlined.
I thought them but loose leaves soon
torn n lost;
I knew not then the tears which
they should cost
When in the western sky my sun de-
clined.
Could but write them now, how fair
they all should look
When the great angel comes to close
and seal nv book.

BLESSED MINISTRIES.

There is a sphere continually around
man in which he must SOY freely if he
would reap joyfully; in which he must
give largely if he would receive boun-
tifully; in which he must serve pa
tiently if he would be treated lovingly;
and in which he must bear bravely the
burdens of others if he would move
lightly under the pressure of his own.
Unspeakably wonderful and beautiful
are the ways of God in having bound
man by such tender cords to such
blessed ministries; by having estab-
lished on earth an institution which
constantly and nightly draws forth
and trains to their full tension those
unselfish affections, sympathies, and
passions by which human communities
are helped, blessed and saved.

SLIGHTLY

One day Isaac Newton feeling chilly,
ordered his servant to build a good
roaring fire in the CRATE, and when his
orders had been obeyed he drew his
chair up and enjoyed the cheerful
warmth. In a short while he dropped
into deep thought and became unmind-
full of the fire until it grew so warm
that he was compelled to notice it. He
rang the bell violently, and when his
servant came he ordered him to move
the CRATE. The servan scratched his
head in puzzled silence, and Newton,
becoming thoroughly angry with the
heat and the servants d~isobedience,
shouted: "Will you move that CRATE 81
The servant covered in terror at
first; then, finally growing calm, he an
swered:
Would it not be better, sir. for you
to o your chair"
We'll, well, WE'LL" said Newton.

ALWAYS BUSY.
The busybody busy is

The busybody busy is
With other folks affairs,
He mixes in and interferes
And multiplies their are
He never seems to take a rest,
And I'm a firm believer
He is the only man alive
Who never gets spring fever.
He seems to have no business of
His own to fret or worry;
But running yours just pleases him
He'll do it in a hurry.
Brain fag has never troubled him,
Vacations a deceiver;
You'll always find him on the job,
He lever gets spring fever.
The busybody never wants
To take a fishing trip,
He travels far away,
He doesn't own a grip.
In restful jaunts away from town
He is no firm believer,
Week in week out he's buttin' in,
He never gets spring fever.
