Tears In the Contract.

A southern lawyer has gained state
wide repute for his success in pleading
criminal cases. His claim to fame is
that he sheds real tears while urging
juries to save his innocent clients, and
the clause mo tears, no pay" Is a
part Of every contract he makes.
He had a case not long ago that
seemed easy on the start, but devel-
oped later into a most difficult one.
Not long after he had turned on the
tears the attorney had II of the jury
weeping also. One stony-hearted juror
sat and glared st him. Tears had no
effect on him. The attorney redoubled
his efforts and his tears. He devoted
himself entirely to this adamant juror.
Tears splashed from his eyes and
dewed his whiskers and his waistcoat
He talked eloquently and cried still
more eloquently. Presently the set
features of the determined juror re-
Taxed a bit.
Brushing away most Of the tears
the attorney turned his back to the
juror and bent down to get a glass OF
water. AS he stopped he whispered
to his law partner, who sat near him:
"John, I've never lost one yet! That
darned old sucker can't hold out two
minutes more"
And he didnt.-Saturday Evening

Valuable Crucifix.

Ten years ago a carved ivory cru
cifix was bought at rag fair at Reus.
On her death, soon after, the pur-
chaser left the crucifix to her daugh-
ter, wife of the deputy, Senior Mayner.
A visitor to the house offered Sonora
Mayner $500 for it, but it was refused.
An antiquarian, learning of the exist
ence of the crucifix, offered $4,000,
but this, too, was declined. 1t is now
known that the crucifix is one of the
finest carvings of Leonardo da Vinci.
An offer of s125,OOO from an American
collector is now being considered.

Undiplomatlc Druggist.

South Trimble, clerk of the house of
representatives, was talking about d.
plomacy.
'In a public post" he said, "great
diplomacy is needed. The man in a
public post must be diplomatic all the
time; otherwise he will be treated
like the druggist.
GA druggist, late one cold winter
night, was awakened by the tinkle of
his emergency bell. 1t was a boy.
The druggist slipped on a dressing
gown, went shivering downstairs and
found the boy wanted two cents
worth of chewing gum.
It's like your cheek the druggist
growled, to wake me up at this time
Of night for paltry two cents worth.
"At this the boy scowled, threw
down the gum and pocketed his two
cents again.
Like my cheek, 1t is?' he said.
Then I'll take my custom somewhere
else. You can keep your chewing
gum. I won't have it now, after your
sauce
"And he stalked out wrathfully, and
the poor druggist went shivering back
to bed"

Don't Talk About Your Troubles.

Learn to keep your own affairs
locked up in your heart, but be will
ing to listen to others sorrows.
That's the way to do.
There is no use in the world in
harping on the crazy tear-making
events Of life.
Be patient with the faults of 9TH
ers and be patient with your own.
But don't talk about the worries and
trials of everyday existence.
There is no sense in that at all. 1t
is a tremendous waste Of energy. No
one wants to hear about individual
troubles. Constant talking about ones
troubles is a sure path to chronic
fault finding, pickering, and family
rows that cause more misery than
anything else on earth. And what
good does the talking do? The SYM
pathy you get doesn't amount to a row
of pins.
Individuals of the right sort resent
being pitied. Don't be a sympathy
beggar.
Smiles lead you back to youth,
tears drag you quickly to old age.

Reindeer and Yak for Alaska.

The reindeer used to be known
chiefly in the Christmas picture book
while the South American yak is still
known chiefly through his occasional
visits with the circus. The scarcity
of game, and therefore food for flesh
eating dogs, is reviving a demand in
Alaska for herb-eating beasts of bur-
den. Reindeer are being shipped west
from Labrador, and it is hoped also to
get some yak from the Andes to help
out.

ST. CLARE'S BASILICA
The Pope Has Placed 1t Under the
Protection of Cardinal FaIconio-
Appeal, for Funds to Restore the
Church.

1t was seven hundred years ago
last Palm Sunday that st. Francis of
Assist clothed st. Clare in the relig-
ious habit of her Order In honor of
this historic event the Mother Abbess,
Sister Carmela Reattelli, of the Poor
Clare's of Assist made an appeal to
the world to help restore to it's former
glory the church, which was erected
in Assist shortly after the death of
st. Clare as monument to that vail
ant woman whom one of the Popes
called "the Duchess of Poverty and the
Princess of the Poor"
In a letter written last winter to
the editor of The Lamp, a monthly
magazine devoted to Church Unity,
and published by the Franciscan Fa-
theirs at Graymoor, Garrison, New
York, she says that they have already
spent one thousand dollars in the
work of repair whereas to restore the
Church will require six times that
amount. Through The Lamp she ap-
peals to the Catholics of America to
help complete the restoration of the
Basilica. AS result of this, the re-
storation fund has now reached the
sum of four thousand dollars.
The Holy Father has raised the
Church of st. Clare to the rank of a
Minor Basilica and placed it under the
protection of His Eminence, Cardinal
Falconio, formerly Apostolic Delegate
to the United States, as an evidence of
his interest in the efforts which are
being made to repair the ravages of
time and to restore the ancient church
to it's former glory.
