WHERE THE RESPONSIBILITY
RESTS.

The first and highest end of the
Christian home is to train children
for heaven. This object gained, all
is well; if otherwise the loss will be
infinite, eternal, irreparable. Surely,
it is a terrible indictment when a
judge, recognized head Of the work
among delinquent children in the
United States-a man who has had
an experience with the criminal class
as no other has had-declares that it
is back to the home and the father
and mother that we must go for the
germs of juvenile delinquency and that
it may be traced, in nine cases out of
ten, to mistaken kindness or friendli-
ness in allowing very young children
to remain away from home at night, in
the formative period of their young
and plastic minds. st. Augustine says,
"Give me the child till he is five years
of age, and you may have him for the
rest of his life" So important do the
gre at thinkers and theologians hold
this formative, period in the heart of
the little child

these are bad mental states; and all

LETTER WRITING HINTS.

In writing letters woman should
keep in mind the following rules:
BUSINESS letters must be concise
and clear, because business people
are supposed to be busy.
No letter is complete without the

THE THREE GUARDIAN ANGELS.

Father Garaud, of Porto Rico, says:
There is a being, the sweetest and
frailest of all, that is hated by the
evil spirits that prowl about us-that
being is the child. In himself the
child is nothing, yet he is destined
to be all. The child is the future
He is the family, society, the Church,
heaven. And as God knows that the
child is the beginning of everything,
He has given him three guardian an
gels to instruct and form him, viz,
the mother, the teacher and the priest
In times past the Christian mother,
the Christian teacher and the priest
worked united in the formation of the
future man, the candidate for heaven.
But in this age of ours the, powers
inimical to God and man have also
united their efforts in order to take
possession of the child The first step
was to wean him away from his moth
er by compulsory education. Later he
was taken away from the Christian
teacher by the establishment of God
less education, and though it has not
been possible to take him away from
the priest, they earnestly endeavor to
neutralize his salutary influence. Let
us take heed. The priests work must
be grounded upon the work of the
mother and the teacher. If these as
sumo an attitude of Indifference, his
work amounts to naught. It is for
this reason that God in His fatherly
love for men calls you all to the sub
lime and honorable vocation of teach
ing

GOOD MANNERS.

a bad thing to have two suits of them
one for best, and one for every day;
one for home, and the other for
abroad. Wear your best manners all
the time. They suffer more by being
put away than by constant use. If
you keep your best manners for COM
pany only they will fit you badly,
and your visitors will suspect they
were put on for them. Second-best
clothes may be worn at home, but
not second-best manners. To whom
is it worth while to be courteous if
not the people you love the best?
"The girl whose sphere is set in
domesticity can find as keen a salts
faction in doing her work to the very
best of her ability as can her sister
who achieves college honors or fame
in the literary world Indeed, there is
something peculiarly satisfying and
fine and healthy about work with the
hands, because, for one thing, it is
generally service for others.
Again, the great mass of women
must inevitably find their scope in
domestic life, and every girl, what
ever her social position may be, would
be the better for two years thorough
training in housewifery," says the Phil
adelphia Inquirer. Therefore, if you
are going through your hopeless
phase try good, honest homework as
an antidote. Work hard with your
hands and at the same time cultivate
a cheerful spirit and an, interested
habit of mind
I'm the vestibule of a certain hos
pital," says the Monitor, visitors see
card bearing this advice: Never
utter discouraging word while you
are in this hospital. You should come
here only for the purpose of helping.
Keep your hindering, sad looks for
other places, and if you can't smile.
don't go in
If you can't smile, don't go I'M
1t is good advice for other than hos
pital visitors. Who is beyond the
ministry of kindly smile? It is a
tonic to the discouraged. It helps the
little child for whom the world holds
so much that makes afraid, and it
cheers the aged who find life un-
speakably lonely. AS King Arthur's
court was built of music, so the hap

earth is built in large part by the
cheerful faces we see as we bear the
load appointed for us.
Smiles are as indispensable to true
success in life as money, mind and
might. AS long as a man can smile
he is not beaten. Not in hospitals
only, then, but in the home and on the
street there is call for the kindly
sunny smile. The way to have it is
to get the heart right with God, and
then turn their eyes to the light, for
the smile that helps is the smile of
heaven-kindled joy and hope East and
West"

PARENTAL NEGLECT,

1t is an unfortunate truth that
parents of today sadly neglect the
spiritual welfare of their children. Too
much attention is given to their bodily
requirements, and they are encouraged
in their natural disposition to worldli-
ness and vanity. Beware of the
cruel Affection" he writes, whose
fruit is the eternal death of the chill
dren God has given you. Make them
understand that if they live accord
ing to the flesh, they shall die; but if
by the spirit they mortify the deeds
OF the flesh, they shall live. Make
them so realize the value and efficacy
OF the most Holy Sacrifice, that they
will undergo any labor and fatigue to
be present at this divine and tremen-
dous mystery of eternal love; for, on
their fidelity to this obligation will de-
pend in great measure the whole
tenor of their Christian lives"
We are passing through an age of
indifferentism. The enemy is contin-
ually at work within our ranks and
the fanatics tongue is ever ready to
assa1l Truth with malicious lies. The
Faith, handed down to us by Christ.
through His Apostles, is a beautiful
and a precious one. We should be
willing to die for it like valiant SOL
der, on the firing line, our face to the
enemy. 1t is as old as the world and
Its history is intertwined deeply with
the history of the world, for, where
war and pestilence and famine and
poverty, and f1eet-footed progress have
hurried, there also shone the light
from the Cross of the Man of Sorrows,
cheering and blessing the millions who
worshiped in it's CLEAN. Catholics
should be well-grounded in the essen
tials of their Faith; they should be
well-armed. A well-instructed Cath
Ollie laity. with noble and pure ideals
and a strong love of duty, are the hope
OF the Church in this country.

lie has it almost completed. and
it is the genuine article, the first
standard Curtis flying machine
built in the State. His shop is in
the third story over the Candy
Kitchen, corner of Jefferson and
Promenade streets.
Mr.. McLoney has spent several
months in building his machine.
lie has spent money and time and
has a strong and durable machine
lighter, too, in weight, he says,
than any of them. 1t is a piece of
fine workmanship. st. Louis
aviators tell him that it cannot do
otherwise than fly.
Mr.. McLoney has made a num-
her of visits to the Kinlock
aviation field in st. Louis where
he has received instruction in fly
ing lie says his machine is
stronger in construction than any
machine he has seen and he is
sure that with all the latest Curtis
improvements he will have nu
trouble in soaring and that with
no danger of collapse of the
machine. The Curtis machine has
never been in a serious accident.
The frame work, canvass, en-
CINE and propeller-the mard,nc
cOmplete-will be assembled next
week. The propeller is so power
ful that it will knock your hat off
20 feet away.
The machine will be put on ex-
hibition on the vacant lot west Of
the Orpheum Theater April LIST
ana small admission fee will be |
charged of all who wish to see il. |
when the machine and all its parts
and workings will be explained.
BY these exhibitions Mr.. McLoney
hopes to be able to make enough
money to enable him to hire
pasture near town where he can
make his experiments of soaring
in the air.
Mr.. McLoney has no plaything.
We congratulate him on his sue
cess so far and wish him the
of his every ambition
with this real aeroplane.
