THE PRIEST AND THE WORKERS

An interesting example of the good
work which may be done in the mat
ter of thorny and difficult industrial
troubles by the tactful and disinter-
ested influence of a Catholic priest
respected by both parties to the dis
pute-is furnished by the story of a
recent labor crisis in Enniscorthy
About the middle of June, the en-
ployees of Messrs. Donohue, Ltd, a
large employing firm in Enniscorthy,
asked for an allround increase in
wages, which had not been granted;
and according to the local paper there
was a feeling of general unrest in the
town that might at any moment have
eliminated in a strike" The officials
of the Transport Union-the repre-
sentatives of syndicalism or the gen
eral strike method of settling disputes
were, of course, soon on the spot;
and there was certainly strong pos
sibility, if not the actual prospect, of
serious trouble. Seeing the danger OF
the situation, Father Rossiter called
the men together, and after friendly
conference, a resolution was passed
unanimously, setting forth that the
carriers and general laborers employed
by Messrs. Donohue, Ltd, in meeting
assembled, unanimously agreed to
have absolutely nothing to do with
the Transport Union or it's officials,
and to submit their grievances to
Father Rossiter, G. c., in the hope of
a satisfactory settlement. Father Ros-
sitter made a careful note of the work
ers demands; and then laid them in
full detail before the head of the en-
ploying firm. After lengthy inter
view, during which the priest pressed
earnestly and strongly the claims of
the men, a settlement was arrived at
which was afterwards unanimously
accepted as satisfactory by the men,
at a meeting at which the men, the
employers, and Father Rossiter were
present.

cLAIRE's THREE CALLERS.

Claire was darning stockings the
other day when Milly came in, and
Milly, dropping down in the chair OPP
posite, exclaimed in distress:
ooh, you haven't got to do all those,
have you?"
Every single one!" Claire's tone
was grimly uncompromising. There
would not be so many" she added, a
moment later, "if had done my darn
ing last week. I'm not going to put
if off another time"
Milly fingered for twenty minutes,
keeping her distressed gaze fixed
upon the clock, and squirming rest
lessly in her chair. Three times in
those twenty minutes she asked plain
lively:
aren't you almost done, Claire?
Don't you think you could leave the
others?"
And when both interrogations were
persistently answered in the negative,
she rose with long-drawn sigh.
II think I'll have to go, Claire
There's so little to Saturday, anyway
and it seems shame to waste it all
I'm so sorry you've got to finish al
that dreadful darning."
Claire instinctively echoed her sigh
as if she really had been the martyr
Milly seemed to think her. She stuck
to her work, but it was logged per
sistence, with nothing cheerful or in
spring about it.
Jane was the next girl to put her
head in at the door.
"Stocklings!" she exclaimed, with a
lift of her eyebrows. ''Well, won't
wait for you, then. l finished mine
this forenoon"
The door closed, and Claire sighed
again, this time sigh of relief She
was thankful that Jane had not felt
called upon to sit down and pity her,
and ask her every minute or so how
soon she expected to be through.
When Stella came in smiling, she
did not say anything about the stock
ings for two or three minutes She
settled herself in the chair Milly had
vacated, and the two friends talked
busily for five minutes, while Claire's
needle wove it's way back and forth
across the holes that were so slow in
filing up. Then Stella remarked in a
matter-of-fact tone:
Got another thimble?"
sNever mind. You do enough darn
ing at home. When you go visiting,
you're not looking for another
chance"
s'The ideal" laughed Stella "Why,
it's fun to darn stockings when you
have somebody to talk to. I'm not
used to sitting with my hands folded.
I really don't like it,
She caught at stocking which
showed enormous aperturss in toe
and heel.
JAMES, isn't it? Pills look just
the same How do you suppose boys
manage to wear them out SO fast?''
After all it did not take long to
empty the big mending basket, and

boys right shoulder and let the bag
hang down on the left side. Johnnie
was more interested in the bag with
it's straps and buckles than in the
two picture books. But he laughed
aloud when he saw the pockets for
pencils and sponge.
He was SO taken up with his bag
and how the strap felt and what
mother would say at night that he felt
very near forgetting to say, Thank
you" to Uncle John. He did remem-
Der, and he said, You're the bestest
uncle in the world"
When Johnnie entered the school
room he forgot to be afraid, he was
thinking so much of his bag and
books. The teacher smiled when she
saw the bag, but she asked his name
and other questions, and then gave
him his seat.
Johnnie had taken off his hat when
he came to the door, and as soon as
he entered his seat he knelt down and
began to say his prayers.
He knew what to do in church, and
he thought he ought to do the same in
school. What do you think about it?
Johnnie had so much to tell his
mother when he arrived home that
he forgot to eat his lunch. When she
saw the bag and books she laughed
and said: "That is just like your
Uncle John. He always tries to make
children happy"

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
THE BAG AND THE BOOKS.

Johnnie had often been to church
with his father and mother, and he
had been to Sunday school in warm
weather and he knew how to act
when he went to church. When he
was a little child, the first word he
learned to speak was God.
At last he was to go to school, and
the first day" found Johnnie up
being late. He had often heard his
mother say to the older children:
Hurry, or you will be late"
The day before he had told his
Uncle John all about what he was
going to do, and he also told him, in
low tone, almost whisper, his one
great trouble. He had no schoolbag
or books! Henry, his eldest brother,
who went to the high school, had
''lots" of books, and Richard, in the
grammar department, had bag of
books.
"But you are not as large as Henry
or Richard, so you do not need a very
big bag or many books" said Uncle
John.
That's so," said Johnnie, 'but I
must have some kind of a bag and one
or two books or folks won't know I'm
going to school,
We'll, I'll see what they have in
McDonald's book store, and I'll get
something to suit you."
Get it to fit" said Johnnie, who
was thinking more of the bag than of
the books.
ct will be just the ft,' said Uncle
John. Say, Johnnie, I'll meet you
down at Stevens corner, near the
schoolhouse, tomorrow morning. I'll
have the bag and books and no one
here will see them until you come
home from school"
"All right" said Johnnie, that's a
good way, for yesterday said some
thing about nay bag and shunnery or
some book Henry has, and Henry just
rolled on the floor and laughed and
laughed"
On the way to school, Johnnie
walked so rapidly that his little sister
Harriet could hardly keep up with him.
When he saw Uncle John at the cor
ner he ran to him with glee.
"Just the fit, Johnnie" said Uncle
John. Let me fix 1t on your shout

A LOST FRIEND.

Have you seen my dog-a yellow
one with a white ear?" a little ragged
newsboy with sob in his shrill voice
asked the passers-by.
Where did you lose your dog, little
boy?" A sweet-faced old lady in a
worn black gown paused to speak to
him. The sympathy of her voice
brought the tears to his anxious eyes,
but he dashed them away quickly
half ashamed of his emotions.

can't find him nowhere. He's the best

OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP
A Short History of the Miraculous
Picture Familiar to Many.

The miraculous picture of Our Lady
of Perpetual Help, which had been an
object of admiration and devotion in
the island of Crete for one hundred
years, was brought thence to Rome
where for three centuries it was held
in great generation in the Church of
St. Matthew. This edifice was de-
stroyed during the French Revolution;
and the picture was forgotten for sixty
years, until on the 26th of April, 1866,
it was by order of Pope Plus TX again
exposed to public veneration in the
church Of the Redemptorists at Rome,
dedicated to St. Alphonsus Marie de
Liquori. From that day on, popular
devotion towards the picture has
spread rapidly; and through it's med
ium the Blessed Mother of God has
bestowed many graces and favors on
her devout clients.
The picture is painted after the
manner of the thirteenth and four
teenth centuries-in distemper, with
golden ground, being twenty-five
inches in height and about eighteen
inches in width. Our Lady is pre-
scented in half figure, holding the
child Jesus on her left arm, while with
her right she affectionately presses
the hands of the Child to her breast.
She is clothed in a dark blue mantle,
lined with gold. The tunic, which is
lined with gold like the mantle, is
red, and the folds of the dress are
defined by golden lines. A glory sur
rounds her head as also the Child's
and on it rests crown of gold be-
gemmed with precious stones. A
crown also rests on the head of the
Divine Child, and He is repre-
scented as fully grown. One of
His sandals has fallen off, and
the expression of His face is
such, as He clasps His Mothers arm
in terror, as to give the impression
of His trying to avoid His prefgured
Passion, which the angels on either
side are presenting to Him. Just
above the Mother are the Greek let
tiers I'M. R.. TIL. IT," meaning Mother
of God. Over the Child's head are
Jesus Christ. To the right of the Vir-
gin is the Archangel Michael who car
ries vase or bowl, in which are the
lance and sponge. Over him are the
Greek letters, 20. AR. NJ" Archangel
Michael. On the left, presenting to
the Divine Child the cross and nails
is an angel over whom are the letters,
80. AR. c." Archangel Gabriel. The
faces of the Virgin and Child are
wreathed with the saddest of express
sions, in which the sweet and sacri.
fcing ,amiability of their natures is
prominently present. In her eyes
seems to rest reproachful light
which expressed in language would
probably mean: Cease offending my
Divine Child, and will be to you a
Mother to whom you may always fly
in your hour of distress.
| The painter of the picture is un
known. The copy of this miraculous
picture is found in many church and
many Catholic home throughout the
Christian world. That the copy is as
favored by the Blessed Virgin as the
original, the many wonderful cures in
Boston, st. Louis, New Orleans, and
other places attest. In fact it seems
that all reproductions of the picture
are favored as if special blessing
we're to follow it in that way forever

THE FuTILlTY OF BITTERNESS.

A friend of mine, an author whose
novels have delighted thousands, met
with a great sorrow, one sufficient to
shadow the life of an ordinary man.
l often wondered how it would affect
his work. A few weeks ago CHANGED
on short story from his pen, little
tale so sprightly, so deftly told and
so shot through with sunshine that
marvelled how he could produce it
even under the happiest circum-
stances.
sent him my congratulations, add
ing at the close that l was glad to
see that sorrow had not embittered
him. At the end of his characteristic
reply, he sat down these words: 81
do not understand enlightenment as
the result of anything" That phrase
has given me food for thought ever
since.
How often do we notice men and
women of more than average ability,
people who are valuable to the COM
munity, giving away beneath some
stroke of misfortune and allowing it
to render them cynical and discour-
aged. Metaphorically they throw up
their hands as if fate had ruined
their lives and absolved them from
further effort. What detestable
obsession; what moral cowardice! The
children of men have been suffering
these blows since the expulsion from
Eden, and most of what we enjoy in
the intellectual sphere as well as in
material comfort, we owe to the period
after the calamity in each life, the
fruits of dauntless struggle, the vic
tory gained amid the throes of mental
or physical pain.
Milton wrote his great poem after
he was stricken with blindness. Car
lyle forged his massive productions
in the agony of dyspepsia. Steven
son labored over the classics that will
long transport the reader-wrote them
with the grisly specter of consump-
ton ever before his eyes. 1t is not
necessary to accumulate instances
each reader can easily compile his
own list. | note these as they occur
to me while writing. But the lesson
in all such cases is the same. The
great souls of history, the benefactors
of mankind, rose superior to trouble
and went on to do their appointed
work with the best that was in them.

one had made her work harder, the

And from that little glimpse, it will

understanding of the nature Of those
