WlNNIE's WINTER COAT.

II wish you needn't go alone, Win
ME. You'll be sure to get a warm,
serviceable coat?" The frail little
woman propped up in bed looked anx-
iously at her straight young daughter
standing in the middle of the room
drawing on her gloves.
"I'll be sure to select the very coat
you yourself would select" Winifred
promised. And, having snapped the
last fastener to her glove, she stopped
to press kiss on her mothers cheek,
then hurried away.
In the train bearing her from her
suburban home to the city, Winifred
felt proudly happy over the Importance
of her undertaking; in her purse she
carried twenty-dollar bill which was
to pay for her coat and a list Of
smaller purchases that her mother had
entrusted her to make. Winifred had
just finished consulting her list when
she looked up and encountered the
smiling eyes of Gracia Wynn, seated
across the aisle. Gracia was a fresh
man also in the Lincoln high school,
and though Winifred and she we're not
intimately acquainted, they at least
were on speaking terms.
Going shopping?" Gracia asked,
dropping into the vacant seat beside
Winifred and glancing at the list in
the others hand.
"To buy a winter coat" Winifred
answered with a mature little air that
sat quantity on her pretty, round face
Then be sure to go to Haskell &
Lees" Gracia advised. '.They have
the biggest bargains in lovely red
coats, satin-lined.'
Mother trades at Stillton's and she
told me to go there" Winifred ev-
planned
"That's too bad" Gracia comment
ed. "Stillton's is sort of old-fashioned
and know they don't carry good
line of red coats because my sister
Rose went there first"
Mother wants me to get a warm,
serviceable coat; something in mixed
gray or plain brown Winifred said
not of regret in her voice, II wanted
red, but mother thought it too notice.
able a color because I'll have to wear
my coat more than one winter"
"You wouldn't if you paid less for 1t
and those at Haskell & Lees are only
ten dollars. The girls were saying how
lovely you'd look in red coat with a
big red bow on your beaver and red
hair ribbons. I'll have to leave you
here's my station. Look az the red
coats, anyway"
When Winifred reached the city
she stood hesitant on the corner and
the next moment set off in the 6irec.
!, ton of Haskell & Lees. The store
reached, she tried on several red
coats, all of the same lightweight ma.
terial, lined with cheap grade of red
satin and made in the latest approved
fashion.
This one looks perfectly elegant
on you and it's SO stylish" the clerk
said persuasively to Winifred. '.All
the high-school girls are buying them
they're SO handsome and bargain al
the price we ask"
"Tf only it were heavier material, :
Winifred murmured undecidedly.
Wear jersey underneath, so many
do that" the girl replied.
'But it is too long, Winifred OBJ

Or. BRowNsoN TO YOUNG MEN.

Men will never succeed in anchor
ating their earthly condition till they
learn to live for heaven alone. till they
see all things in the light of God as
their Supreme Good, and seek to mod
ify them only at the bidding of divine
charity.
You, young men, even some of you
who call yourselves Catholics, forget
this. You have suffered yourselves to
be seduced by the tempter.
Professionalism and infidelity have no
power over you when they attack di-
rectly your Church or her dogmas;
there you are on your guard and are
firm; but you have not been equally
on your guard against their indirect
attacks, their attacks, through your so
cial affections and sentiments, your
love of political liberty, intensified by
long ages of Protestant misrule and
oppression in the countries of your
birth or descent-and your desire of
worldly prosperity and social position.
Through these the tempter assails
you; through these he whispers to you
AOACyCu WO1OS, uudhSS yOu oWOOI pAOAA~
Uses, and excites brilliant hopes, only
to undermine your faith, to entangle
You in his snares, to drag you down to
hell-to hell both here and hereafter.
Here is your danger; here is your
weak side. You listen with the open
hearts of generous youth, with the
confidence of unsuspecting innocence,
to the soft words of the betrayer as to
an angel of light.
You are caught, you are led on from
step to step, till you find yourselves
far from the home of your fathers, far
from the affectionate embrace of your
mother, in arms against your Church,
false to all your vows to God, false to
yourselves, a grief to all good men
and angels, and joy only to the enc
mics of religion, who, while accepting
the treason, despise the traitor.
The very devils despise those they
are able to seduce, and so do their
children and servants, infidels, her
etics and schismatics.
Nay, my young friends, if you would
be free and noble, and honored even,
listen never to the siren voice of the
charmer The entrance of the career
into which he would seduce you may
be bright and fowery, but it's progress
grows darker and rougher at every
step, till it finally ends abruptly in the
darkness of eternal despair
l know that career which, you are
tempted to believe, opens into life. i
entered it as innocent and as full of
hope as yourselves, and, as I fondly
trusted, with motives pure and holy
Alas, how was | deceived!
I lost my innocence, my virtue,
everything that man could hold dear
and sacred, found myself the COM
panion of scoffers and blasphemers, a
chief among the revilers of Gods truth
and Gods law, and have gained only
a stock of bitter experience. and a
source of continual regret.
Fear God, my young friends, and
keep His commandments, for this is
the whole of man. Be true to God,
and He will never abandon you; serve
Him as He commands, with prompt
tude and fidelity, and fear nothing for
your earthly prosperity, or for the
spread and maintenance of liberty.

Ivory In Siberia.

In view of the rapid disappearance of the herds of elephants which for merly roamed iD Africa. and the linn lted number of those animals remain Ing in Asia, attention has been called to the enormous supply of ivory which exists in the frozen tundras. of Si- beria. and which, it is thought, will probably suffice for the worlds con- sumption for many years to come. This ivory consists of the tusks of the extinct species of elephant called mammoths. The tusks of these ami mals were of great size. and are won derfully aboundant at some places in Siberia. where the frost has perfectly preserved them. and iD many cases has preserved the flesh of the animals also

WouIdn,t stand for It.

Senator Crawford. says the New York World, can make more noise during the delivery of a speech than any other man in public life. He will walk to and fro, banging the desks until the screws come out and tossing forth his voice until 1t can be heard a mile away.
 One of Senator Penrose's economi- cal constituents heard the rumpus on the floor below and inquired what was transpiring.
 "Oh. MT. Crawford is taking a little exercise" answered MT. Penrose. Don't worry about 1t. The govern. lment is paying for it, and there will be no extra expense"
 Vice President Sherman was hold. ing his hands over his ears and look ing at MT. Crawford in amazement, when Secretary Bennett slowly and solemnly climbed up the steps to his desk and said:
 "The boys up in the press gallery complain that they are unable to hear MT. Crawford distinctly. They re- quest that you ask him to speak a lit tie louder"
 Tell the boys in the press gallery to go to thunder" yelled MT. Sher. man. pulling his mouth down at the corners.

TrueIy Appropriate.

The organist was not lacking in pa trotism, says the New York Sun, yet he rebelled when requested to play 'The Star Spangled Banner" at a wedding. 'It is not appropriate" he said. "Ain't it," said the brides fath- CT. For this wedding it is the most appropriate thing you can play. Cut all the rest of the program if you like, but stick to that. I had the hardest kind of fight to keep Belle's mother from marrying her of to foreigner. Between Belle and me we won out for an American and if this isn't the time for The Star Spangled Banner I'd like to know what is. ;"

Two ArchaeoIoaIcaI FInds.

Two interesting archaeological dis coveries have just been made in the Fen country of England. The first is Q sequel to the partial opening of a low mound at Eye, near Peterborough. only a few feet high, but forty yards in diameter. The mound, known as Oliver CromwelPs Hill, was partly ex- plored last year by Thurlow Leeds, of Eyebury, who found evidence that 1t was a burial place dating probably 1000 years before the Christian era 1lr. Leeds now announces that he has been able to complete his investiga- ton, and has found the skeleton of a taif man, who must have been buried more than 5000 years ago. No pot tery or implements were found near the body, but last years excavation brought to light a small handmade pot of coarse ware, traces of a huge nro. and some bones-possibly relics of a burial feast or sacrifices

HE HANDIcAPS HIS CHILDREN
oIVIne Each of Them a Million, West Orn FinancIer May Prove to 6e
 UnWlse Father.

A man out west, described as the pioneer financier" of his city, has just kept an agreement or promise made fifteen years ago with himself as the party of the second part and presumably uncomfortable from lack of valuable consideration, that he would retire from business when he had million dollars to give to each of his children. He had three of them when this announcement was made, and even that number rendered the self-assumed task one that for most people would have made the day of retirement and dignifed leisure to be sufficiently remote. The three chill dren have since increased to six, but the requisite half-dozen millions are said to be now in hand, with modest surplus for the pioneer financier's own support in his work-declining years, though they be as many as he doubt less hopes and expects them to be.
 This man will of course be praised for showing more moderation than a good many other millionaires and stopping acquisition when he had what he wanted instead of when he had alr he could get On the other hand, it can safely be asainsa fnsf ir moments of flanker be|f-ccr. n ||t |1| he sincerely admlIes hIrat !, s1 who has done well sag.''. for his offspring.
 But has he? Unquestionably the New York Times remarks, he has act ed as do all loving parents, whatever in academic discussion they may say about the ennobling and developing effects of hardship and poverty-that Is, he has taken measures to safe guard his own children from both and has given them that long start in life" which he himself did not have But they will go through none of the experiences to which, whether rightly or wrongly, he no doubt ascribes what he no doubt holds to be his own sue cess Theirs will be quite different experiences and of the kind which all the wise ones, in talk and writing, pro- claim to be-theoretically- alarming
 So one can express with a fair semblance of sincerity great wonder how this man can consider himself a good father-how he justif1es himself in handicapping each of those six chill dren with the heavy burden of mill lion-how he can expect in the many houred days before him to soothe his uneasy conscience

Doc In th. 7o+sto..

John Df Silvestro, editor of La Voce del Popolo. an Italian daily newspaper of Chicago. tells of an old potato sell CT in the colony here who used a small dog to great advantage.
 This old man retailed potatoes, % said Di Silvestro. He went from house to house with his dog on his shoulders. and if a person wanted any thing from peck to a bushel he could be accommodated.
 "One of my friends who had been buying regularly from the old potato vendor was surprised one day when his wife told him that they were being cheated.
 "'old Giuseppe wouldn't cheat, he sa3d.
 When the old man delivered his next bushel of potatoes the wife called her husband and together they went into the kitchen and measured the po- tatoes. The shortage was a peck.
 "After that they watched old Giu- scope, and, much to their surprise, found that every time he came to de- liver the potatoes he walked out of the alley, accompanied by small dog.
 'This small dog, however, never came in with him.
 "The man and wife became curious about this dog. and hid in the kitchen. One day they watched old Giuseppe empty his bag on the floor. AS he did so the little dog jumped out.
 "The animal had taken up the space of peck of potatoes and was better than a false measure"
