THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
THE KIND OF BOY WANTED.

What kind of boy does business
man want?" repeated shrewd, prac-
tical man of many concerns, the other
day.
well, will tell you. In the first
place he wants a boy who doesn't
know too much; business men general
iy like to run their own business, and
prefer some one who will listen to
their way rather than try to teach
them new kinds; secondly, they want
a prompt boy-one who understands
seven o'clock as exactly seven, not ten
minutes past; third, an industrious
boy, who is not afraid to put in a lit
tie extra work in case of need; fourth,
an honest boy-honest in his service,
as well as in the matter of dollars and
cents; and fifth, a good-natured boy,
who will keep his temper even if his
employer loses his own now and then!'
"But you haven't said word about
his being SMART" was suggested.
well, to tell you the truth was
the rather hesitating answer, that's
about the last thing we worry over.
The fact is, if boy is modest, prompt
pleasant, Industrious and honest, he's
quite as smart as we care about-and
that's a fact!"
The foregoing story is just now
floating about in the press, and if it
be not true, it is, at least, we'll in
vented. Politeness, promptness, pune
tuality, perseverance, and Withal
pleasantness, these are the cardinal
virtues of the business world, upon
which all success therein must hinge.
Nor are these virtues that can be
learned from books; they can be ac-
quired only by patient practice-prac
tice in the home, the school, and, in
fact, everywhere. And if our educa-
tors and even our reformers would
place less stress on the value of mere
bookish knowledge, and insist more
on such things as these, they would
cease to be the mere disturbers that
they now are, and become indeed bene-
factors of both the world social and
the world industrial.

A WORD WITH OUR CATHOLIC
SOCIETIES..

A Catholic society may be of great
benefit to the Catholic or it may sim
ply be piece of dead wood, says the
New World. We have watched the
life and fortunes and fruitage of Cath
Ollie societies for number of years
and have seen good results from them
and very Indifferent results, too.
The primary purpose of Catholic
society is to supplement the work of
the pastor-to witness to the world
the fact that the Catholic faith is a
living faith-that this faith and it's
practice enters into all our work and
that we are truly Catholics in the
pew and out of it.
But there are still other purposes
for which a Catholic society stands. 1t
stands for the intellectual uplifting of
our Catholic people. Now billiards and
pool will not do this; nor will the i'm
personation of kings and knights in
gorgeous costumes add cubit to our
intellectual stature.
If we would do anything for our peo-
pie of real value through our Catholic
societies we must get down to serious
work.

saw a pumpkin vine trained on a
fence from which large, heavy pump
kins were hanging. "That is very
bad arrangement" he said to him
self: that slender, fragile plans bears
such large fruits, while a stalwart
tree, such as the oak beneath which
am resting, only bears tiny acorns.
II had made the world should have
ordered things more wisely"
AS he finised speaking an acorn fell
from the tree, and smote him on the
nose SO sharply that the nose began
to bleed. This unexpected blow taught
the conceited man a lesson. Il must
acknowledge" he said, "that God has
arranged everything very wisely. Had
the acorn that fell been the size of
pumpkin, and dropped from the height
it did, should have been stunned, or
at least my nose would have been
broken. What we learn at school is
quite true; God has ordained all things
in creation with wisdom and fore
thought" How foolish are those who
think they know better than the all
wise Creator!

SEWING A SEAM.

The kitchen was as neat as wax.
The kettle on the stove purred like a
contented kitten, and Josie sat in the
rockingham, which her employer
thought as necessary for the kitchen
as for any room in the house, making
herself a shirt waist. One reason why
the work of Mrs. Halls household did
not drag was that when the servant
finished her work, she had her time
for herself. Josie stitched away pains
takingly at the shirt waist, glancing at
the clock at frequent intervals. In
half an hour she must begin to get
supper. And half an hour would not
do much on long seam.
Molly came into the kitchen for a
slice of bread and butter-she had
never outgrown the childish habit of
lunching between meals took an in
terested survey of Josie's work.

claimed. eft must take an awful lot

That was the beginning of the end
of Josie's toi1ing down those long
seams, stitch at a time. When
Molly took her upstairs, and taught
her the simple mysteries connected
with the manipulation of the sewing
machine, Josie was at first too excited
to be an apt pupil.

But she soon forgot the wonder of it

And when the wife of the wholesale

Josie on one of her afternoons out,
and offered her substantial rise in

her head with decision.

A girlish kindness had done some

THE SOULS OF WOMEN.

The Catholic Church from the ear
lest ages has venerated and canonized
the souls of sanity women, who by
their heroic virtues or their constancy
in the Faith even to the shedding of
their blood were deemed fit models for
the faithful The Church, with ST.
Paul has always deemed that, as in
Christ there is neither Jew nor Gen
tile, Greek nor barbarian, so likewise
the distinction of sex is obliterated.
Yet from time to time the assertion
is made that a council held at Macon
in France, Solemnly discussed whether
or not women had souls A socialist
woman orator recently declared that
they had not A writer in the "Ques-
lions Actuelles," October 5, 1912, after
relating the temperance of the fable,
goes into the matter thoroughly.
According to him there were two
councils held at Macon. In the first
there is no mention of women at
all; in the second, held in the year
5S5, there is mention of widows; and
severe punishments are decreed
against those who would despoil those
helpless women of their temporal
goods. The fable, therefore, did not
arise from the DEGREES of the Council.
In his Commentaries on this Council,
however, Mansi recalls that "a certain
one was in the synod who said that
woman could not be called man"
(homo). 1t is well known that in Eng
lish the word man" in certain phrases,
as Man is mortal" includes woman;
in Latin much more, the word homo, -
being of the common gender may be
predicated of either man or a
woman
Celebrated in the schools is the diff
ficulty of translating the sentence:
"Homo natura fiumen naturam vitium
visum," because one is prone to forget
that homo" in the sentence means
Ethe woman" 1t appears that his col
leagues were able to convince the dis
putant in the Council that it is accord
ing to Scriptural usage to call a
woman homo" But how far was this
tiny question from a decree or even
the slightest doubt about the reality
of the souls of women. OF such stuff
fables are made.

TRUMPET-BLOWING OF PER-
VERTS.

Some fifty years ago, says the Hon.
Bird S. Coler, specialists in certain
branches of science, narrowing their
vision to things material, had revealed
to them by keen investigator of
physical phenomena a theory that
linked certain biological facts together
into a system. Cautiously, as men of
science usually proceed, these scien-
lists advanced conclusions based upon
the imperfect knowledge they then
had. Immediately the men of lesser
capacity, the army of camp-followers
of science, the men who know so little
about real science that they would
think it confession of ignorance not
to seem to know things respecting ma
ture which no man yet knows, &C.
claimed this system, based upon such
conclusions, as great, Illuminating
truth revealed for all eternity.
Immediately all the intellectual per-
verts of the world, all the topsy turvy
logicians and mad politicians, all the
haters of authority and the rebels
against law, human and divine, pro-
claimed that Christianity was dead,
that Darwin's proven system of evolu-
ton had demonstrated the material
origin of all things and made faith inn
possible for evermore in an enlight-
ened world. They blew their loud
trumpets at the castle gates of the
ancient Church and complacently and
confidently expected the crashing fall
of the hoary fortress.

noises. The turrets they assailed still

turtles, still holds that strength unim-
paired, and will hold it against wrong
and falsehood for nineteen centuries
more if the world shall so long en-
dure.
The camp-followers are still preach
ing the truth of evolution about which
they know nothing; the half educated
even in Christian pulpits are still talk
ing of the truths of the DarWinian
revelation, without any very clear idea
as to what that revelation was; but,
science, pursuing it's inquiries, is on
another track altogether and scientists
of the first order are not quite gem

proven, but impossible in the light of

of expense is still added at an
outrageous figure, the item for

individual we so far have found
doing this. We want to say that
