undermine his self-respect, and be-
ginning by accepting favors from cor
pOrations or individuals who desire
to use him for their own ends, he will
end by throwing conscience to the
winds, and will sell his vote or his
influence to the highest bidder; and he
will ultimately sink to such a depth
as to be the scorn of every decent
person in the community. A higher
purpose than this should inspire the
young man who enters the political
field-the purpose to take the part
which belongs to him in a government
of the people, by the people, and for
the people.
The consequences of abstaining
from political activity by many other
wise good citizens are visible to all
Intelligent observers. Those easy
going men who pride themselves upon
their close attention to their own af-
fairs and their unwillingness to give
a portion of their time and money for
the public good are the despair of the
reformer and the hope of the crooked
politician. 1t is this class that per-
petuates every corrupt ring" or ina
chine" in our land, whether civic
or national.
If these are facts, there should be
no question of young men entering
politics. Young men possess the
ideals, energy, and enthusiasm neces-
sary to originate and carry forward
good measures to their accomplish
ment. Old men cannot or will not do
the strenuous work of good citizen
ship, and therefore young men must
do it, or our government will be a
failure.
AS a reward, they will have the
pleasing consciousness of patriotic
duty we'll performed, of having given
unselfish service to their country at
the time when they were best able to
do so, and this, aside from all other
considerations, is sufficient compensa-
ton. Pittsburgh Observer.

FORMING CARELESS HABITS.

Della sat in the hammock with a
book SOpen on her knees. Now and
then she read paragraph, following
the mental exertion by stopping to
look up at the blue sky overhead, or
to exchange remarks with her Aunt
Eunice, who sat near, working at
some embroidery. After a little she
turned dozen pages at once and read
a few paragraphs in that part Of the
book to which she had opened.
"Delia!" exclaimed Aunt Eunice,
after the last named performance had
been repeated several times, Are you
reading that book or not?"
Della laughed. f'Oh, after a fashion.
If see a page that looks interesting
read little. It's not such very
interesting book; | can't say l enjoy
it."
1T would need to be an extraordi-
narily interesting book to be enjoy
able read in that fashion," suggested
Aunt Eunice.
Mild as was the reproof, Della ap-
parently resented it. IT don't like to
read as though I were studying a les
son" she said little Grossly I'm
reading for entertainment, and if I
get more fun out of it by skipping
around it doesn't make any difference
that / can see."
The unlucky part is that Della can
not see that such methods of reading
made a difference. There is no rea-
son for spending whole day over a
book if one is disinclined to such ex-
ertion. II Della wanted to lie in the
hammock looking at the sky, and
thinking the thoughts suggested by
that blue, arching vault, no one would
have any reason to criticise her. But
to read scattered paragraphs from a
book, with the attention all the time
divided between the page before one,
and the things about one, is to form
bad habits in an occupation where
good habits are of the utmost import
ance.
There are some people who after
reading one page in an ordinary book
are able to repeat it almost word for
word. And there are others who after
single reading are scarcely able to
recall an idea it expresses. The prac-
tical difference is apparent when two
such people come to study history
lesson, for instance. The one knows
the lesson after single reading, or
at the most, two. The other goes
over the same page again and again
before an idea makes sufficient i'm
preston to stick.

Plus X AND THE PRESS.

The Holy Father has earnestly ap-
pealed to the bishops of Brazil to de-
vote all their care to the establish
ment and support of Catholic news
papers. Long before the burdens of
his present exalted Office and the so
licitude of all the churches" were laid
upon Plus x, he not only recognized
the power of the press and it's effec-
tiveness as an agency for good or evil
in our modern world, but he always
set himself the task of strenuously
supporting the Catholic press with
all the resources at his command.
He even established at great sacrifice
of personal exertion, and of his slen-
der means, a Catholic journal in his
former diocese and we are told that
since his election to the chair of
Peter an inscription has been placed
by his own desire upon the building
where that journal which he founded
is still published, recording this fact
and prefaced by the significant
words: "The greatest work of Plus
X"

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
SUCCESS.

One of the best examples of the
value of education that l ever met is
the work of a boy, neighbor, who
used to come into my house occa-
sionally to play chess.
At that time he and his father
worked in small woollen factory,
where the boy received so cents day.
He had longing for an education,
but could see no way of gaining one,
for there was no money in the family,
and 60 cents day does not admit of
much saving.
into possession of an old bicycle, and,
with his parents consent left the fac
tory for job as telegraph messen-
ger at summer resort a short dis
lance away. Our state agricultural
school was only three miles from
where the boy lived This school
furnishes good education absolutely
free, the only cost being small
charge for the board of pupils who
live at the college.
But this boy was near enough to go
back and forth on his wheel, boarding
at home. When the season at the re-
sort was over he took his small saw
ings and started to school. In this
way he had the full four years course
at practically no cost, working at odd
times enough to pay for his clothes
and books, and to recompense his
parents in a measure for his board
He developed liking for chemistry,
and during the last year made it a
special study. When ne graduated
he was given place at the college as
assistant chemist, at small salary.
He remained there two years, study
ing and saving his money. Then he
went to Ann Arbor, Mich, and studied
chemistry until his money was gone.
Then a position as chemist was offered
him by a small concern in the West
at $500 year. This he accepted, re

THE YOUNG PRIEST.

Before an altar fair with flowers and
light
A youthful form bends low in vest
ments white;
Within his consecrated hands a lily
host,
His countenance with heavenly rap
ture bright.
A silvery tinkle and murmured
word
And 10, within his trembling clasp,
his Lord!
The dream of years of longing is full
filed;
This morn the contamination he had
willed
Through many a weary hour of sacri-
fee.
The mothers eyes with tears of glad
ness filed.
Nor recks she now of flying days and
years.
To God he's given;-ended all her
fears.
o mother blest of all this hour art
thou.
Thine who shall tell the sweetest
rapture now.
Thy son-God's sanctified forever see.
Before His throne the angels lowly
bow
Whilst He their Lord upon the altar
stone
Brings down with Christ's Own Words
in lowered tone.
o, mayest thou in heavens courts I'M
folding
One day his Lord and yours enwrapt
beholding
Remember us before the Great White
Throne.
Gods sacred strength his feeble
tongue embedding.
The mystic words to speak DER bread
and wine
And 10, we kneel before Our Lord Di-
vinet

nurses led away to the station the
mournful invalids. Just then there
was strange scene. AT the moment
OF leaving the Virgin in the grotto the
little girl turned and lifting up her
clenched fist, nervously cried out:
You will not cure me? Very well.
| shall tell your mamma on YOU"
Immediately she was cured. She
jumped from her carriage and walked,
perfectly healed.
Thus, at the moment, Mary Immac-
ulate seemed to show her daughterly
respect for her mother, the good St.
Anne, whom she did not wish to pain,
and to justify the confidence of her
poor little client, whom she deigned to
excuse.
The Immaculate Heart of Mary is
an abyss of mysterious tenderness.
We never invoke her in vain.

DUTIES OF CITIZENSHIP.

Many well meaning persons advise
young men to keep out of politics be-
cause of the moral contamination that
is popularity supposed to be INSOFAR
able from it. "It is such dirty bust
ness" these Mentors say, unheeding
the fact that in thus endeavoring to
influence young men to keep aloof
from politics, they practically advise
them to neglect the duties of citizen
ship, and to weaken, so far as they
are concerned, the foundations of the
government.
to go into politics, not for the pur-
pose of gaining political Office for
themselves by election or appoint
ments, but simply to perform duty
which they owe as citizens of the
commonwealth. If they perform this
duty well and grateful public re-
wards them with Office at a later
period, it is proper to accept such
Office and to continue to strive in
Office for the attainment of the ideals
that inspired them before the Offices
were bestowed upon them. But Office
holding, as an end to be sought for
itself, is unworthy of the ambition Of
young men, besides, the man who
deliberately plans his life so as to be
what might be termed professional
ofice-seeker seldom succeeds. The
path of political preferment is strewn
with the bones of aspirants whose
opinion of their own fitness for Office
happened to be much higher than the
public's estimate of their qualifica-
tons. Politics is an uncertain thing,
and the man who seeks to gain his
livelihood by making it a trade will
lead precarious existence that must
