store and asked if they wanted boy.
Said the proprietor:

No. said the boy, Il can't do any
thing; l have never been in place.
But can try to do anything you tell
me to do"
How much wages do you Want?"

with. l will take what you will give
me, and if improve, you viii know

The boy spoke so sensibly and
showed such good principles that the
gentleman took him in at once. After
ward he told the lads father that he
really had more help than he needed,
but could not afford to let such a
boy go.
There is a great demand now for

BONBONS FOR THE LITTLE
JESUS.

A pretty custom now prevailing
among some Kabyle children of
northern Africa is thus described by
Father E. Amat, VIII. F.
quite of their own accord" says
the missionary, "my little Christians
have begun to practice some very
charming acts of virtue which they
ingeniously call, 'Bonbons for the
Little Jesus
These bonbons are the good acts,
which through special endeavor or
by the repression of some evil in
stinct they are able to add together
at the close of each day.
GLOW many did you give today!'
I asked recently of catechism class.
Father, I gave three
"I only two
"T gave four, but not very fine ones.
"'And I, Father, only one-I would
not tell lie.'
Here is a sample: The little girl
of the three bonbons described hers
as DEMONSTRATING awakened in the
night l remembered l had omitted my
prayers. I got up quickly to say
them
"'This morning l went to Mass, and
knelt on the bad bench you know of.
I'm coming from the Chapel,
guessed that my mother wished the
house swept and 1 got the broom
without being told
Here is another variety: I did
not return my sister the two slaps
that she gave me- After that I offered
her the largest of the pomegranates
l had received as a present. Only fol-
the sake of Jesus 1 would have re
venged myself, and kept, also, the
pomegranates.'
Truly these childish offerings must
be very sweet to our divine Saviour
The poor Kabyles are setting an ex

children and even by grown persons

DIssIPATED ENERGY.

Scientists estimate that there is en-
ergy enough in less than fifty acres
of sunshine to run all the machinery
in the world, if it could be concen-
trated But the sun might blaze out
upon the earth forever without set
ting anything on fire; although these
rays focused by burning-glass would
melt solid granite, or even change a
diamond into vapor. There are
plenty of men who have ability
enough; the rays of the faculties,
taken separately, are all right, but
they are powerless to collect them, to
bring them all to bear upon single
spot. Versatile men, universal
geniuses, are usually weak, because
they have no power to concentrate
their talents upon one point, and this
makes all the difference between sue
cess and failure.
Chiseled upon the tomb of dis
appointed, heart-broken king, Joseph
II of Austria, in the Royal Cemetery
at Vienna, a traveller tells us, is this
epitaph: Here lies monarch who,
with the best of intentions, never
carried out single plan"
Sir James Macintosh was man
of remarkable ability. He excited in
every one who knew him the greatest
expectations. Many watched his
career with much interest expecting
that he would dazzle the world.
But there was no purpose in his life.
He had intermittent attacks of enthu-
siasm for doing great things, but his
zeal all evaporated before he could
decide what to do. This fatal defect
in his character kept him balancing
between conflicting motives; and
his whole life was almost thrown
away. He lacked power to choose
one object and persevere with a sin
gle aim, sacrificing every interfering
inclination. He vacillated for weeks
trying to determine whether to use
usefulness" or utility in a compost
ton.

LIMITATION.

Had the eagles wings
I might attain the height
That lies above all lowly things,
Far in the heavenly light.
But 10! | still must press
Along the common way,
Amid the sorrow and the stress
That surge from day to day."
Thus one who had aspired
To yonder radiant place,
Whose feet were weary and long tired
Of the incessant race,
Cried out, and One gave ear
To his uplifted voice,
And leaning from the heavens made
clear
The meaning of His choice:-
''Not everything make
Hath need to soar afar;
Nay, some must labor for Loves sake,
Content where'er they are.
''Your work lies in the mart
A round Of little things;
There is no soul, there is no heart,
That needs the eagles wings.
Build low your little nest,
However low it be,
And listen love shall be your guest,
And sweet felicity"

as soup, fish, meat with vegetables,
salad, dessert, coffee.
Arrange cloths, knives and forks
as for breakfast Place at the right
of each knife a soup spoon and a
teaspoon, or more if needed. A carv-
ing knife and fork should be placed
at the right of the host, who usually
serves the meat, and the tablespoons
beside the dish to be served.
If the serving is done by the host
or hostess, the hostess should serve
the soup, salad dessert and coffee;
the host the meat or fish, while the
waitress passes the plate as food is
served, and serves the vegetables and
entrees.
Place a ladle with handle at the
| right, beside the tureen, before the
hostess, and hot soup plates directly
in front, almost touching tureen, to
prevent dripping on cloth.
In serving, soup should be dipped
away from, not toward the person.
The same rule holds good in eating it.
After the cover has been removed
from tureen, the waitress should stand
at left of one who is serving, hold
tray in left hand, and with right hand
place the filled plate on tray Take
it to the right of each person and
with the right hand, set it on front
close to edge of table.
After the first course, remove tu-
reen and plates, one at time, on a
tray, or by taking one in each hand
Never pile one on the other.
Arrange meat and plates for the
second course If anything is served
with the course, the dish containing
it should be placed on the tray, with
the handle of the serving fork or spoon
toward the person. Pass to the left
side of each. In removing a course
take large dishes or platters first, then
plates and silver.
Before the dessert is placed on the
table, remove all dishes except dessert
spoons and glasses. Remove crumbs
Place dessert in front of hostess, serv
ing spoon or fork at her right, cups
and saucers in front, or at left.

and Mamma Arnold smiled. "An ex-
ira lamp would make things more
cheerful inside as well as out"
So the lighted lamp was placed on
the window-sill and it's bright yellow
CLEANS shone out into the veil of fall
ing flakes.
Archie and Essie sat up little later
than usual because it was Christmas
Eve, and then, too, mamma let them
pop some corn and papa told them
stories about the time he was drum
mer-boy in the army. Suddenly, there
came a loud knock at the door, and
when Mamma Arnold opened it, in
walked Mr. Johnson, one of their
neighbors.
He looked like big walking snow
man, so powdered was he with the
white flakes. And he was so tired
that he had to sit down while he was
being brushed off.

well, putting it there was the chill
dren's idea," said Mamma Arnold.
"They were disappointed about not
having a Christmas tree this year and
they didn't want Santa Claus to fail
them by getting lost out on the
prairie"
"Oho!" Mr.. Johnson exclaimed
'That was a bright idea an mighty
lucky one for me! But say, left
something outside your door, Mrs.
Arnold; it belongs here; the man over
at Wells Fargo Express Office asked
me to bring it with me, knowing I was
your nearest neighbor. I'd planned to
take it to my home and fetch it over
in the morning, but it seems lit here
first"
He opened the door there was soft
rustling-a fresh, woody smell-a
vision of dark-green, feathery some
thing!
"Oh-oo!" cried Archie.
"Oh-ee!" squealed Essie.
For there, before their eyes, was the
dearest little spruce tree.
Only two feet high, to be sure, but
still a real, beautiful tree. There's
an express tag on it; guess it was
sent by some of your folks in the
East" said Mr.. Johnson. "Glad it got
here in time for Christmas"
"But it wouldn't if we hadn't put
the lamp in the window" chimed
Archie and Essie as, hand in hand
they danced around the little tree and
buried their small noses in it's green
fragrance.

THE CHURCH OF THE CUP OF
COLD WATER.

There is a church in Spain called
the Church of the Cup of Cold Water,
to which an interesting tale belongs.
A certain good-hearted but very poor
priest, living in little village not far
from the mountains, was one day
startled by two or three gendarmes
entering his house, and carrying with
them a bleeding outlaw, with broken
arm.
The priest fastened to bind up the
wounded arm, though the captors
seemed to care little whether or no
their prisoner lived. The injured man,
who bore his sufferings without a
groan, then begged for a drink of
water; and, as he raised his head to
receive it, encouraged by the priests
kind manner, he whispered that his
two children were left friendless on
the edge of the wooded hills.
When the prisoner had been drag
ged away, the priest went in search
of the poor children, found them cry
ing from hunger, and brought them
to his humble home Then, poor as
he was, he sent the boy to school, and
the girl to neighboring convent; and
by much self-denial, and in spite of
many severe remarks on his folly,
provided for their support.
Years passed away, and the chill
dren were almost grown up, when
one day magnificent carriage stop
ped at the door of the humble par
sonage. A fine-looking old man in
uniform, his breast covered with gilt
tering decorations, stepped out. He
explained that he was the wounded
outlaw, that he had escaped, and in
one of the many Spanish revolutions
had CHANGED to be of the winning
party, now held high Office, and had
returned to claim his children. And
when he affectionately greeted them
he asked permission of the good old
priest to build him new church in
the place of the poor little mountain
chapel; and that, in remembrance Of
his kindness to the suffering, it be
called, 1.-The Church of the Cup Of
Cold Water"

KISSING THE ROD.

o heart of mine, we shouldn't
Worry So
What we've missed of calm we
couldn't
Have, you know.
What we've met of stormy pain,
And of sorrows driving rain,
We can better meet again,
If it blow!
We have erred in that dark hour
We have known.
When our tears fell with the shower
All alone!-
Were not shine and shadow blent
AS the gracious Master meant
Let us temper our content
With his own.
For, we know, not every morrow
Can be sad;
So forgetting all the sorrow
We have had,
Let us fold away our fears,
And put by our foolish tears,
And through all the coming years,
Just be glad.

But the Boot and the Shoe would

On the Cobbler CHANGED to call,
And as neither the Boot nor the Shoe
would suit,
The Slipper went off to the ball.

Riders VIII Dress in Asbestos
Fireproof Toys for 'DromerS

TIME riders out at the local Motor
drome lie awake nights trying
to think of something they can
put over on somebody else. They are
always getting something new with
this end in view. For instance, Nor
ty Graves has sent off for a new mo-
torcycle, Georges Renel has bought a
lot of new parts for his motorcycle,
Manager Noon Hudson has another
suit of clothes, Harry Swartz has i
new wife and Jack Prince always
has a fresh shower up his sleeve that
he let's out on race nights.
But 1t has remained for George
Lockner to spring the newest thing
an asbestos suit of clothes. He has
wired to st. Louis for one and expects
it here in time for use at Wednesday
nights races.
These asbestos suits were intro
duced by a st. Louis rider Brownie
CarsIake. and are being rapidly
adopted by the other riders.
When They Are Needed.
In mOtOrQrOme racing tnere are
two reasons why asbestos suits are
needed.
One reason is that the blooming
motorcycles fed enormous quantities
Of gasoline and splitting fire like an
old time dragon, are constantly
catching on fire. Naturally, this
would be bad enough under ord!-
nary circumstances, but the awful
complication arises from the fact that
they usually touch themselves of
while going at very high speed. The
machines are not supplied with
brakes and the rider must always
choose between sticking on and get
ting his clothes on fire or falling OF
and breaking his neck. Harry Lewis,
one of the riders at the local Motor
drome, caught on fire the afternoon
of the opening meet, and only the
presence of the riders and battery
Of fire extinguishers made It possible
to put him out. With an asbestos
suit this danger is removed. A man
may cook a bit while his machine IS
slowing down, but he will not blaze.
Useful in a Spill.
The other need for an asbestos suit
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-06-24

comes when a fall occurs Going ut
high speed, a man is likely to slide
hundred feet or so over the surface
of the track. Frequently the friction
of such a slide sets the clothes ablaze.
and the spectacle of a man on fire
maybe with a lot of bones broken, too
lis not uncommon at motordromes.
With asbestos suits this danger is re-
moved. No matter what the friction
is the clothes can not catch on fire.
AS the riders suits soon become i'm
pregnated with oil and are occasion
ally dashed with gasoline, they are
highly inflammable, and the fear OF
being burned to death will probably
drive all the local riders TO the ashes
tos- suit stunt
Plans are going forward at the 10
cal 'drome for the meeting Wednes-
day night. The program which was
rained out on Saturday night will be
carried through at that time, with the
Mayor Woodward Sweepstakes as the
feature.

MOTHER MAKES PLEA
FOR SONS FREEDOM

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. "a
Mrs Jennie Wilson. a seamstress of
Michigan City. appeared before the
state board of parole Tuesday to plead
that clemency be extended her son.
Four years ago her husband. Fred
Wilson, and their son, Fred, jr., were
sentenced TO the state prison for life
for numbering William A. Bower in
Clarke county.
Since then Mrs. Wilson, who moved
TO Michigan City to be near the faith
er and son, has been taking in sew
ing to earn a living but her eyes have
failed and she no longer is able to
do the work. Appearing before the
board she begged them to free her
son, whom ii was shown at the trial,
was not the actual murderer OF
Bower.
Relatives of Bower appeared be-
fore the board to oppose granting
young Wilson his freedom.
