BARREN DESERTS

Fred Barnes Tells of Remark.
able Developments Wrought
by Irrigation

Fred Barnes, who arrived in this
city last week with his father from
Anaheim, Cal, relates some inter-
esting experiences that are well
worth chronicling.
Mr.. Barnes was resident OF Red-
wood county for about 80 years be-
fore he moved to California nearly
three years ago. He is well known
in this city and throughout the
county and has host of friends that
are reluctant to see him leave again
for his ranch in California where he
has been enjoying great success
with his orange grove.
The visiting ranchman told Won
derful story of how the great ex-
pansive west is being made to bios
som and prosper through irrigation.
He said, "God would never have
created so much desert and seeming
w useless land without providing
some remedy or means by which
man could utilize it." He said that
thousands of acres of dry. sun
baked. desert land has been made
green with growing vegetation
through the means offered by irri-

its snow-capped peak eternally pen

when irrigation was in its in-
fancy" said Mr.. Barnes, land be-
fore the advent of the gasoline en-
CINE as pumping power, the western
ranchmen were in quandery as to
how to meet the immense demand
for distributing moisture. 1t was
well known that the earth contained
ample moisture but the problem OF
drawing it to the surface was per-
picking difficulty on account of the
tremendous expense involved"
The windmill idea was practica
but the great drawback was the
scarcity of wind. Steam was also
practical but it required fuel and as
al fuel was imported from great
distances, it made the proposition
entirely too expensive. Horse pow,

BE AN EXEMPLAR,

do you wish your child not to
acquire the habit of evil speaking?
Then you have to form the resolution
never to deal lightly with the reputa-
ton of another; never to repeat a
SANDER; always to exercise that
charity which you wish your child to
show toward the erring. Without this
course upon your part, all your coun,
sells will be as naught; if you delight
in dwelling upon the faults of others,
If you pull aside the mantle of charity
that should be made to cover the in
firmities of your friends, your example
will nullify all your teaching and your
admonitions will be worse than lost.
DO you desire your child's face to
glow with good humor, contentment
and satisfaction, so that it's presence
will warm and cheer as sunbeams.
Then let your own face be illumi-
mated with the sunshine of love, for
there is no home that is not shad,
owed, as by cloud, if one counten-
ance appears within it darkened by
discomfort. Kind deeds and kind
words and loving looks are as truly
works of charity as pecuniary gifts,
and they are most needed in the home
circle"

THE CHRIST CHILD.

When the little Christ-Child lay,
In time of snow,
In the manger on the hay,
Long ago;
Don't you think the children came,
With gentle wiles,
To watch the little Strangers face
And see His smiles?
Perhaps they gathered round His bed,
Creeping slow;
Laid little hands upon His head,
Saying, low:
How tiny, and how soft He is!
And o! how sweet;
He looks so wise! Do see His eyes,
His hands and feet!"
And when those feet have passed
along,
With footsteps slow,
The years both sad and bright so long,
So long ago!
The gentle Saviour standing there
Again we see;
The children clinging around Him
At His knee.
And loving hands upon their heads
Are kindly laid,
And words He said that from our
hearts
Shall never fade:
Let all the children come to me-"
These were the words, .->. -.-a,
Forbid them not-the kingdom s
theirs,
They are the Lords"

A TRANQUIL HEART.

Who does not love a tranquil heart,
a sweet-tempered, balanced life? It
does not matter whether it rains Or
shines, or what misfortunes come to
those possessing these blessings, for
they are always sweet, serene and
calm. The exquisite pose of character
which we call serenity is the last les
son of culture; it is the Towering If
life, the fruitage of the soul. 1t is as
precious as wisdom, more to be desir-
ed than gold. How contemplate mere
money wealth looks in comparison
with serene life, life which dwells
in the ocean, as it were, of truth, be-
meath the waves, beyond the reach Of
tempests, in the eternal calm! How
many people we know who sour their
lives, who ruin all~that is sweet and
truly beautiful by explosive tempers,
who destroy their pose of character
by making bad blood In fact, it is a
question whether the great majority
of the people do not ruin their lives
and mar their happiness by lack of
self-control. How few people we meet
in life who are we'll balanced, who
have that exquisite poise which is
characteristic of the finished charac-
ter!

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. VINCENT, MARTYR.

Vincent was Archdeacon of the
Church of Saragossa. Valerian, the
Bishop, had an impeachment in his
speech; thus Vincent preached in his
stead and answered in his name, when
both were brought before Dacian, the
president, during the persecution of
Diocletian. When the Bishop was
sent into Punishment, Vincent remain
ed to suffer and to die. First of all,
he was stretched upon the rack; and
when he was almost torn asunder,
Dacian the president, asked him in
mockery how he Jared now" Vim
cent answered, with joy in his face,
that he had ever prayed to be as he
was then. 1t was in vain that Dacian
struck the executioners, and goaded
them on in their savage work. The
martyrs flesh was torn with hooks;
he was bound in chair of red-hot
iron; lard and salt were rubbed into
his wounds; and samid all this he kept
his eyes raised to heaven and re-
NAMED unmoved. He was cast into a
solitary dungeon, with his feet in the
stocks; but the angels of Christ IL
Illuminated the darkness, and assured
Vincent that he was near his triumph.
His wounds were now tender to pre-
pare him for fresh torments, and the
faithful were permitted to gaze on his
mangled body. They came in troops,
kissed the open sores, and carried
away as relics cloths dipped in his
blood. Before the tortures could re-
commence the martyrs hour came,
and he breathed forth his soul in
peace.

KEEPING HIS WORD.

On the corner of Dearborn and First
Streets, in Chicago, there is a news
stand, which is occupied every evening
between half-past four and six o'clock
by poor newsboy. His full name is
Andrew James; but for short the other
newsboys usually call him Andy. Dur
ing the day he is at home caring for
his younger brother, while his mother
is working. The little money that he
makes by selling newspapers helps to
support the family. After selling his
papers he usually can be found study
ing in one of the many night schools
of Chicago.
One evening last October, a gentle
man walked up to Andy's stand,
bought two papers and gave the boy
a one-dollar bill Andy could not
make the change; but he said, you
wait here and I'll have the change for
you in moment"
He ran into nearby clothing store,
got the necessary change, and came
back to the stand with the ninety-two

but a prudent wife is properly from
the Lord" The aspirant to marriage,
like Tobias and his bride, ought to
ask God beforehand to give His bless
ing to their union, saying with that
model couple: 1--WE are the children
of the saints and we must not be
joined together like heathens who
know not God" You will readily adj
NIT the necessity of this forecast
when you reflect that matrimony is
not trivial ceremony, but solemn
and momentous covenant which seals
your future happiness or misery for
time or eternity. If a merchant is
wary in choosing business partner
whose co-partnership is subject to re-
vocation, how vigilant should you be
in selecting a partner for life? If you
are cautious in the choice of transit
tory friends, how discreet ought you
to be in the selection of an endurin g
helpmate? You would not care to I'M
dertake even brief voyage with per-
sons whose companionship would be
uncongenial to you, and will you
thoughtlessly embark on the voyage
of life with a consort whose incom-
patibility of temper will make your
earthly pilgrimage an intolerable bur-
den?

cents for his patron, but the latter was
gone. Search as he could about the
stand, Andy could not see him nor did
he remember having met him before.
why he's lawyer in the Randolph
Building" he concluded at last.
That place was nearly five miles
from the boys stand; but when his
work was finished, he boarded street
car and went to the mentioned Office.
In the course of an hour he reached
his destination and was admitted to
the lawyers presence. Andy held out
his hand, in which the silver and
pennies glistened and said, Here's
your change, sir. I got back as quick
as could, but you were gone, and |
had trouble finding out who you
WERE"
"Bless met" exclaimed the lawyer,
Il waited a moment until friend
spoke to me, and l forgot all about the
change. But for your honesty you may
keep the money and add these twenty
dollars Andy was thunderstruck, he
thanked the lawyer as best he could,
and made his exit.
When Andy came home that eve
ming, there was great rejoicing. Po-
tatoes, meat, oranges, apples and
many other delicacies, which they had
not had for quite while were bought.
The rent was paid and the money
seemed to last forever. The next
evening, Andy went to work with
happier heart than ever before He
made resolution that he would al
ways follow the old proverb, Honesty
is the Best Policy"

THE sAcREDNEss OF THE DOC.
TORS PROFESSION.

Did you ever realize the sacredness
of the doctors profession? asks Valef-
ian in the Brooklyn Tablet His near
ness to the sick and dying make him
almost priestlike in his office. He can
prolong a life at times to permit soul
to be reconciled to God before cross

can clear the mind of dazed patient
in order that the soul may interview
itself before meeting God. A good
Catholic conscience is valuable asset
for the medical man. Charity binds
him to render his patient amenable to
the reception of the sacraments, When
the Church advises us to call in, If
possible, Catholic physician, she
bears this notion in view. His consci-
entious efforts are spiritually benefic-
ial to the patient. Many a neglected
Catholic has had the grace of the last
rites of the Church because of the
high sense of duty on the part of the

Catholic doctor of Boston we met late
ly, who showed us a crucifix worn
smooth, saying: Father, l have
placed this indulgenced cross in the
hands of every accident case l have
had for years. When l can't get the
priest l do what | can myself. The
cross is my best instrument Would
that we had more doctors of this kind.
Boston may have the right sort of
medical men, but Brooklyn can also
boast of strenuous defenders of the
last rites. Ask Father William Far

Hughes himself rushed breathless and
coatless all the way from the sugar
house to the rectory for a priest to
come to a poor foreign cuss lying

CLOTHES DO NOT MAKE THE
GIRL.

Clothes do not make the girl any
more than they make the man. But
very often dress is indicative of the
character. Immodest and vulgar
gowns do not lead one to think that
the wearer of them is religious or
even womanly. Custom may have
much to do with it, but even custom,
the prevalence of certain fashions,
cannot induce a true woman to make
of herself an Objectionable sight. II
it be so with the woman herself, what
shall be said of her young daughter?
Yet there are many good Catholic
mothers, apparently devout, who,
while vigorously modest themselves,
stand by idly and watch their girls
deck themselves in the extremes of
styles, with gaudy and cheap Or
naments 1t is custom again, the fol-
lowing of a craze which is appealing
to the immature girl, who scarcely
realizes to what danger she is expos
ing herself by dressing in the fashion
of those to whom innocence and mod
esty is a byword. But if the girl is
thoughtless, the mother should not be.
She knows enough of the world to
realize that the dearest possession of
her daughters is their good name, and
that the good name may be lost ii
they merely seem to place themselves
on the level of those who brazenly
fiaunt indecency to lure souls to de-
struction.

LAY CATHOLIC ACTIVITY.

Rev. Stephen Wittliff of Pewamo,
Mich, suggests the following lines of
activity to the Knights of Columbus
and other fraternal societies.:
First-A regular course of instruc-
ton in Christian doctrine should be
given by priest, in the form of lee
lures adapted to the needs and condi-
tons of members.
Second-Open a question box for
the benefit of members, in which all
questions of religion or doctrine may
be placed, to be answered by the
chaplain at the next meeting.
Third-All noteworthy and timely
topics should be thoroughly discussed
by members.
Fourth-Plans should be formed TO
stamp out or correct religious, moral,
social or political evils in the district.
Fifth-Stimulate fair criticism Of
the secular press, pulpit and rostrum.
Sixth-Formulate methods of de.
Tending the doctrines or discipline of
the Church when attacked by enemies.
Seventh-Disseminate Catholic lit
erature and reading matter. Work to
increase the circulation of Catholic
newspapers and magazines, Exercise
censorship over libraries, museums,
theaters and all places of amusement.
Eighth-Scan the political horizon
for dangers that may jeopardize the
interests of family, state or Church.
Ninth-Keep record of apostasized
or lukewarm Catholics for the purpose
of regaining them for the fold.
Tenth-Take the necessary steps to
combat the evils accruing from hostile
institutions, enterprises, schemes and
merchants.

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
HE WAS ONCE YOUR AGE.

Does it ever occur to you that
when Jesus was on earth He was
once precisely as old as you are to-
day? He was boy playing with
other boys. He was nine, ten or
twelve. He was only twelve when
He talked with the rabbis in the
temple, and surprised them by the
depth of His wisdom. Your father and
mother, your teachers and your
friends do not understand you quite
so we'll as Jesus does, Jesus who was
once boy of your own age. Ask
yourself when YOU are wrong, what
Jesus would do if He were here?
Then try to initiate Him.
