The Virtue Of Wishing Good to All.

Everybody can be success in the
good will business, and it is infinitely
better to fail in our vocation and to
succeed in this, than to accumulate
great wealth and be failure in help
fulness, in kindly, sympathetic atti-
tude toward others The habit of
wishing everybody well, of feeling like
giving everybody a Godspeed, ennobles
and beauties the character wonder
fully, magnifies our ability, and multi
plies our mental power.
Humanity is planned on lines of
nobility; we were intended to be some
thing grand; not mean and stingy, but
large and generous; we were made to
Gods image that we might be God-like.
Selfishness and greed dwarf our ma
lures and makes us mere apologies for
the men God intended us to be.

BLESSED ASHES.

Ashes are placed on the forehead
of the faithful to signify that the time
of penance has begun, according to
the words of the Church in the brew
larry: THE days of penance have ar
rived in order to free ourselves from
sin" Besides, ashes were at all times
a sign of penance. Thus the Ninivites
strewed their heads with ashes to
atone for their sins, and David said
iguratively: Il have eaten ashes in
stead of bread" Another wholesome
significance of this usage is to remind
proud and naughty man of his nothing
ness and to lead him to humility. It
is for this reason that the priest, in
distributing the ashes, says: RE
member, man, that thou art dust, and
unto dust thou shalt return" Indeed,
in order the more forcibly to impress
us with the vanity of all things earth
ly, and particularly with the perishable
nature of all worldly joys and great
ness, the Church prescribes that the
ashes be prepared from the plans that
were blessed on the Palm Sunday of
the previous year. and which then
served to express the joy of the
Christians at the glorious entry of
Christ into Jerusalem. From the CIR
cumstance that ashes are distributed
on Wednesday, the first day of Lent,
is derived the name Ash Wednesday.
Originally the ashes were distributed
only to those who were obliged to do
public penance, and whose penance be-
gan on this day. At later date
others of the faithful, in spirit OF
humility and devotion, began gradually
to range themselves among these peni
tents, in order with them to receive
the ashes. Finally, in the year 1871
at the Council of Beneventum, it was
ordained that the ashes should be
distributed to the faithful without dis
tinction, that all might draw suitable
benefit from this impressive admoni
tion to be mindful of death

PREPARING CHILDREN FOR LENT

With GREATNESS haste Lent is COM
ing towards us with it's opportunities,
it's responsibilities and it's cares. Let
us consider in advance as to methods
of leading our pupils to appreciate the
true Lenten spirit
Some weeks before Ash Wednesday
it is we'll to bring up in our religious
instructions a few ideas concerning
modification. Our instructions must
be fervent, interesting and convincing.
The example of our Lord and the
saints, the precept of the Church, the
securing of additional merits-these
are motives for what we do to mortify
ourselves.
Then let us show the benefits of
modification. We can remind the pu-
pills that fasting, though not permitted
minors, is an excellent thing for many
grown people, for over-eating is one of
the vices of the age. Most practices
of modification which have won the
approval of the Church we can explain,
while not injuring the body-indeed
they often help it-are of lasting bene-
| fit to the soul.
Our instruction is not complete UNI
less we suggest to the children prac-
| tees of modification in which they
may safely and profitably indulge.
! Every teacher is familiar with details
of this sort especially suited for a Civ
en- class and a given locality Our
aim must be, among other things, to
increase the power of our pupils to
exercise their Wills To do a thing we
don't like to do, and to refrain from do
ing the thing we affect, is a
splendid principle of volitional train
ing, Our pupils will be good citizens
and good Catholics if they but acquire
the ability of saying yes or no as duty
prompts them.
i Furthermore, the prudent teacher
will not encourage the performance by
the pupils of acts of modification that
are spectacular or absurd. The silly
practice of reciting four thousand Hail
Mary's during advent has duplicates
for Lent, and a certain type of child is
only too anxious to enter upon such
distortion of the true penitential spirit
Neither is it commendable to advise
the children to put peas in their shoes
unless the peas have been thorough
ly boiled. There are acts of NORTH
cation, and plenty of them to be found
in connection with the daily duties o.
old and young, and these must first O.
; all be mastered. Children who have
read and heard stories about the saints
need to be reminded that those holy
men and women began at the begin
nlng. Catholic School Journal

WHEN WE GO TO MASS.

The Church commands us to attend
Mass every Sunday. We should attend
Mass because we owe everything we
have to God; because we have sinned
and we wish through Jesus Christ to
be forgiven and to sin no more. When
we go to Mass we should think of what
Mass is. Do not think of worldly mat
tiers; of your family; of your friends;
of who is at Mass besides yourself; of
what you have read in the paper, or
someone has said.
What would you do if you were on
the hill of Calvary and saw Jesus dying
for you; the wounds of His hands and
feet; the thorns in His head; the
whole body covered with blood and
torn with pain; the loving eyes look
ing in their last. gaze upon you; the
white lips asking God the Father to
forgive you? What you would do then,
do now at the Mass, for when you are
at Mass Jesus is asking for your love.
When you go to Mass, put before
your mind Jesus, the' loving Jesus on
the altar; tell Him ghat you are sorry
that you ever sinped against Him;
tell Him that you wi never sin again
that you will avoid those with whom
you sin and the places where you sin
Ask him to bless you and to bless all
who belong to yoh; ask Him to help
you in all you need; thank Him for all
that He has done for you; and then
tell Him that you love Him with your
heart, and your soul, and your body
and your mind, and that you will never
permit sin to tear your heart away
from His.
Pray in this way at Mass and do not
mind what anybody else is doing; pray
as if you and God were alone in the
church. Do not talk to others.

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. MATTHIAS.

After our Lords Ascension, His dis
ciples met together, with Mary, His
Mother, and the eleven Apostles, in
an upper room at Jerusalem. The lit
tie company numbered no more than
120 souls. They were waiting for the
promised coming of the Holy Ghost,
and they persevered in prayer. Mean
while there was solemn act to be
performed on the part of the Church
which could not be postponed. The
place of the fallen Judas must be
filled up, that the number of the Apos-
ties might be complete. st. Peter.
therefore, as Vicar of Christ, arose
to announce the divine decree. That
which the Holy Ghost had spoken by
the mouth of David concerning Judas,
he said, must be fulfilled OF him it
had been written, "Iis bishopric let
another take A choice, therefore,
was to be made of one among those
who had been their companions from
the beginning, who could bear witness
to the Resurrection of Jesus. Two
were named of equal merit, Joseph
called Barsabas and Matthias. Then
after praying to God, who knows the
hearts of all men, to show which of
these He had chosen, they cast lots,
and the lot fell upon Matthias, who
was forthwith numbered with the
Apostles. 1t is recorded of the Saint
thus wonderfully elected to SO high a
vocation that he was above all re.
markable for his modification of the
flesh. 1t was thus he made his cleo.
ton sure.
Our want of knowledge of many
points in the life of St. Matthias
serves to fix our attention all the more
on these two, namely, his call to be
an Apostle, and his perseverance in it
The lesson we derive therefrom is en-
HANGED by the fact that st Matthias
is set by Holy Scripture in such con
trast to Judas, who betrayed his mas
ter. Our thoughts are bound to oul
own vocation and to the necessity Of
persevering in it until death.

Authorized

Columbus, O., Nov. 17-Attorney-
General Hogan was granted permis-
sion by the Supreme Court today to
file the suit for testing the constitu-
tionality of the Workman's Compensa-

form of mandamus upon the Treas
urer of the State to compel him to pay
a voucher of the State Liability Board
of Awards which was held up by agree
ment, in order to raise the question of
the soundness, of the act.
Assurance for the upholding of the
act was felt by the Acknowledgement

WOMAN
Plan Own Store To Beat
Cost Of Living

Chicago, Nov. 1.-THE high cost of
living has been made the object of a
novel attack by a group of Chicago
women. Just beyond the loop district,
yet convenient to the retail shopping
center, department store organized
owned and operated by women will be
opened about January /.
The purpose of the women behind
the organization is to place at the
disposal of the people lines of gen.
eral merchandise at a reduction in
cost of from 10 to 20 per cent.
The general plan by which It is
thought the goods can be sold at a
great reduction, yet earn a profit, is
cooperation among retail merchants
of Chicago, together with a system of
discount checks.
The checks will be issued by the
merchants In the manner of premium
certificates. The proposed depart
ment store will redeem these checks
at their face value.

In Ashland Field Proves To
Be Dry Hole
Mansfield News)

The Medina Oil G. Gas company's
surprise of the drillers was prac-
well on the Stone farm, east of Ash
land, came in Tuesday and to the
surprise of the drillers was prac-
tically dry hole. The well was
drilled between the Reese & Sperry
well on the Holbrook place and the
well on William Duff's land, both of
which are big gassers of five and six
million cubic feet capacity, and 1t
was thought that equally as big wells
would be opened here.
Looking over the territory in the
southeastern portion of Ashland coun-
ty and close to the Richland county
line, half dozen or more derricks can
be seen where operations are being
continued at the present time. The
well being put down on the Kinneman
land by Reese G. Sperry is expected to
be finished within few days. This
firm is also drilling well on the Cum
mings property west of Ashland. The
Logan Natural Gas & Fuel company is
sinking two wells on the land of Tier
ney Moore and M. l.. Dilgard, and the
Ohio Fuel & Gas company well on
the Kissel farm 4af
Within the corporate limits of Ash
land four monster gas wells have been
struck. Two Of these are owned by F,
e. Myers & Bro, one being located on
the Markley place and the other on
Seymour Scott's land. The Ohio Fuel
& Gas company has one on the Duff
farm and Reese & Sperry one on the
Holbrook farm. The Myers brothers
proved light producer, probably
about 100000 cubic feet per day and
two other wells were no producers.
