"eooD ENOUGH FOR HOME"

A TOUCH OF SYMPATHY.

This morning / was riding down in
the street cars, and poor, ragged
Italian women entered, baby in her
arms, and two other children follow
ing close behind. The girl was a mite
of thing, prematurely grave, serious,
pretty, and she led a boy just old
enough to toddle. She lifted him care
fully UP to the seat (she who should
have been lifted herself!) took his
hat, smoothed his damp curly hair,
and tucked his head down on her
shoulders, a shoulder that had begun
its life work full early, poor tot!
The boy was a feeble, frail, ill-nour-
ished, dirty young urchin, who fell
asleep as soon as his head touched her
arm. His child nurse, having made
him comfortable, gave sigh of relief,
and looked up and down the car with
a radiant smile of content. Presto
change! All the magnates and clerks
had been watching her over their
newspapers, and in one instant she
had captured the car. I saw tears in
many eyes, and might have seen more
had not my own been full.
There was apparently no reason for
the gay, winsome, enchanting smile
that curved the red mouth, brought
two dimples into the brown cheeks,
and sunny CLEANS into two dark eyes.
True, she was riding instead of walk
ing, and her charge was sleeping in
stead of waking, and wailing; but
these surely we're trifiing matters on
which to base such content. Yet
there it was shining in her face as she
met a dozen pairs of eyes and saw in
each of them love for the sweet moth
erly little self, and love for the "eter
nal womanly'' of which she was the
visible expression. There was a gen
eral exodus at Brett Street, and every
man furtively slipped piece of silver
into the child's lap as he left the car;
each, ] think, trying to hide his actor

If WE BUT UNDERSTOOD.

From hottest fire comes purest gold;
From darkest cloud the flash be-
hold;
From dark, deep mine the fiawless
gem
That sparkles in your diadem
From dull, cold earth faint perfume
That telleth of the lilies bloom;
The fairest hopes spring fresh from
fears;
Eyes all the brighter shine for
tears.
The weary feet know sweetest rest
Comes truest prayer from heart op-
pressed,
Beneath the lash of wild despair
The very bravest deeds we dare.
Full bitter draughts oft WOO relief;
Oft holy peace begot of grief
Have patience, all is wrought for
good
If we, dear heart, but understood.

"You just give me the job, sir" cut
in the boy, land I'll find something to
do that will help you. There's always
work around plant like yours that a
boy who's had little technical train
ing can find to do-work that needs
to be done. Here's some references
from my instructor and two or three
business men, who know me"
Look here" suddenly interrupted
the man at the desk, you certainly do
want a job. And you're going to get it.
l can see that right now. When you
first spoke I knew you reminded me
of somebody, but I couldn't think
who. Now | know When l was a
boy we had dog that used to go off
into the woods and hunt coons all by
himself. If he freed his coon he'd
start to gnaw the tree down and keep
at it till somebody hunted him UP and
chopped the tree down. You've got
sort of family resemblance to that
dog. I'll give you letter to the SUI
perintendent"
When, fortnight later, he called
at the plant, the foreman remarked:
Say, that boy you sent out here's
the oldest duck you ever saw. He
takes his jsb just as hard as if he
were drawing profits or my salary in.
stead of working for nothing week
and paying his own car fare.
"Why his aunt died the other day
and he didn't come for two Gays; but
he sent a substitute and paid him out
of his own pocket He's the first man
on the job in the morning and the
last to leave at night. From the min
ute he gets here till he leaves he's
as busy as boy at circus. That
boy is certainly struck on his job.
| A few weeks later the boy spoke te
the man who had given him job.
"a little testing department would
save you money" said the boy, "and
it wouldn't cost much either. You buy
lot of material, first and last, and
I've found out that some of it isn't uI
to the standard. They're working
considerable off on YOU"
How much will it COST" asked
the owner of the plant.
Instantly the boy drew from his
pocket a list of every item needed in
the equipment of the testing la5ora
tory. He had it all ready, waiting fol
the question.
/ ''Get it and go ahead said the
man, after he had glanced over the
list.
The laboratory was installed, and
saved the the business a neat sum O
money. .
The day that the boys period Of
gratuitous service was up he appeared
again at the proprietor's desk and
said, my time is up, SIR
But you stay" was the quick
answer, "and the salary you get is go
ing to cover the unpaid time in which
you've been serving me-"

THE HEART OF THE HOME.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1911-11-18

And it did. That wasn't SO long ago.
The electric lighting plant grew until
it was big enough to be absorbed"
1t has been absorbed several times
since; but the boy who struck for a
job stuck through every change. Each
set of absorbing capitalists saw that
he was the one man who couldn't be
spared. They saw that he knew the
business as well as he knew his old
shoes. They played him for a favorite,
and today he could buy the man who
gave him the first job-buy him out
several times over! He is the head of
big electric lighting corporation, and
gets salary of twelve or fifteen
thousand dollars a year, besides
profits in half a dozen thriving
interests.
Any boy who has the stuff in him
to play the game today as that boy
played it will win out You couldn't
keep him down if you buried him un-
der the lightweight of a skyscraper.
There are plenty of boys who are
waiting to accept a position and al
ways will be! But when it comes to
boys who go out and beat the bushes
for job-just plain job in which
they have a chance to make good
without regard to pay they're SO
scarce that they're in danger OF being
captured for exhibition purposes In
museums.

This is the heart of the home,
The flame on the low, red hearth;
Wherever loves feet may roam
1t calls to the place of birth.
It's lights and it's shadows play
On the forms of mother and child
When night has closed the day
And the dark breathes legends wild.
Songs and the dreams of youth
Come from this homes red heart,
Kindled with trust and truth,
Though half of life apart.
Memory with outstretched palm
Keeps in it's hollow warm
Hearth flame and laugh and psalm,
Safe from times boding storm.

MILL STILL RUNNING
Water Backed Up BY Dam Was In
terfering With the Work of
the BigDredge-Few
Present to See.

!, Friday, April IL, appropriately
marked the beginning of the end for
the old Zehner mill dam, just at the
northeast part of the city of Plym-
outh. On that day Mr.. Schultz, in
charge of the big dredge on Yellow
river, put seven charges of dynamite
under the extreme east end Of the
dam and blew out strip there about
ten feet wide. There were only few
persons present at the time, and the
work was not known of until report
ed later by those who were there.
Some of the charges were quite
heavy and threw stones into the air
for perhaps a hundred feet. One es-
pecialIy large one tore out big tree
and threw it about fifty feet high.
Mr.. Schultz began putting the
charges in at the bottom Of the dam
and blew out the stones toward the
water held by the dam This was
necessary so the dynamite could be
placed without hindrance By the
water. The last charge let the water
out and it rushed in a torrent down
into the lower stream bed.
The reason of blowing out part OF
the dam at this time was that the
water backed up by the dam had be-
gun to interfere with the work Of the
big dredge, which is now about three
miles mp the river. The dredge needs
water behind it, but not much in
front of it,, The recent rains had

and stopped the fighting.
President Taft. after consultation
with his cabinet, has now delivered an
ultimatum to Mexico and the rebels
that no more bullets shall fall on
American soil during battles.
The United States will demand

ton for killing and wounding of
Americans at Douglass, Ariz., as the
result of Thursdays battle, regard

that the United States Army officer
