usually crossed over to the Lido in a
little steam launch, omnibus" as they
are called in Venice, in which only
one can ride for two soldi. Then he
walked up and down under the trees
reciting his breviary and made visit
to the church of st. Elizabeth in con-
clusion.
The cardinal had only a nickel
watch which he had bought for the
magnificent sum of ten francs, or two
dollars, when he was parish priest.
One time when he had a conference
with some men, he pulled out his
nickle watch and one of the gentle
men, smiling a little, asked if he knew
what time it was. "Oh, yes," the
patriarch answered cheerfully, nickel
watches keep very good time"
He never liked to shut himself in
his palace. He liked to see people
coming and going as we'll as to go and
see them His walks in Venice were
famous. 1t was these walks, in fact,
that made him so popular; he would
go along the streets with one pocket
full of pennies and the other filed
with candies. To the poor children
who came running toward him, he
would give the pennies, and to
the better dressed ones the candies.
This kindness to the children always
won the parents, and sometimes he
would find himself surrounded by a
great crowd of women and children.
He was always sympathetic with the
people who told him their little
troubles-cobblers fishermen, washer
women and others. In little while
they looked upon him as personal
friend, and the cardinal never sug-
gested that he did not remember the
particular person with whom he was
speaking, but treated every one as an
old acquaintance and friend. He
visited the middle class people as
frequently and with as much apparent
pleasure as the nobility. The poor
loved him as the good cardinal"

LET US BE KIND.

Let us be kind;
The way is long and lonely,
And human hearts are asking for this
blessing only
That we be kind.
We can not know the grief that men
may borrow,
We can not see the souls storm
swept by sorrow,
But love can shine upon the way to-
day, tomorrow
Let us be kind.
Let us be kind;
This is a wealth that has no measure
This is of heaven and earth the high
est treasure
Let us be kind.
A tender word, a smile of love in
meeting,
A song of hope and victory to those
entreating,
A glimpse of God and brotherhood
Willie 41lO 10 AOSIAA5
Let us be kind.
Let us be kind;
Around the world the tears of time are
falling,
And for the loved and lost these
human hearts are calling
Let us be kind.
To age and youth let gracious words
be spoken,
Upon the wheel of pain so many
weary lives are broken,
We live in vain who give no tender
token
Let us be kind.
Let us be kind;
The sunset tints will soon be in the
west,
Too late the flowers are laid then on
the quiet breast
Let us be kind
And when the angel guides have
sought and found us,
Their hands shall link the broken ties
of earth that bound us,
And heaven and home shall brighten
all around us
Let us be kind.

TIE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
THE MAGIC SHOES.

Once upon a time there was little
boy who was nearly always late, every
where. He was late for breakfast
and late for dinner; he was late going
to bed and late getting up in the
morning; he was late for church and
once, he was late for the circus. Every.
body felt very badly about this little
boys lateness and at last his mother
decided that something would have to
be done about it, so she bought Tom.
my forgot to tell you that this late
little boys name was Tommy-a pair
of magic shoes!

she said as he started down the road

shoes squeaking as he walked.

swered. But he forgot all about hur
rying in just about one minute
There were a great many dandelions
growing beside the road and Tommy
wanted to pick a, bunch of them
Deeper and deeper into the grass he
walked, picking dandelions as he
went. The tall grasses wound them
selves around his feet and tried tc
pull him back into the road AGAR
and the sun climbed higher up in the
sky to tell him, first, that it was
school-time, and then that it was after
school-time. Still Tommy went or
picking dandelions.
When he had picked quite a good
many, he decided that he would &C
on to school. He turned to step into
the road and he found that some
thing strange had happened:
His shoes were not on his feet.
Where are my new shoes? Did
dream that l put them on this morn
ing?" Tommy asked himself as he
raced down the road to school, in his
stockings. Soon he reached the
schoolhouse door, which was closed
Through the open windows Tommy
heard Jimmy reciting very nicely

Tommy was late for school. He open
ed the door and walked down the
aisle to his desk Then all the chill
dren and even the teacher began tC
laugh as they pointed to his desk.
There were Tommy's shoes, full OF
grass and waiting for Tommy. They
didn't want to be late, so they hurried
on to school without him to make
him ashamed of himself. And Tommy
was never late again.

THE THREE BEST BOOKS.

Canon Schmid tells of a pious old
man who lived in an isolated cottage,
and whose wisdom was such that he
could give excellent advice to those
who consulted him on whatever sub
ject.
A distinguished scholar went to see
him one day, and was so astounded
at the old mans language that he ex-
claimed:
Where did you get your wisdom
Here, in your cottage, see no library
from which you might draw such
varied and excellent knowledge"
Nevertheless" replied the old man.

existence, and read them every day

science, and Holy Scripture. The

ANECDOTES OF THE POPE.
Intimate SideIights on the Holy
Fathers Character.

Anecdotes from a mans life says a
writer in the Antagonist Casket, char.
acterize him better than lengthy de
scriptions. They are spontaneous ex
pressions of his innermost being, and
have the advantage of being interest
ing to everybody. The following are a
number of anecdotes about Plus X
gathered in the last two or three
years. Some of them may be known
to many of our readers, but we hope
that the whole collection will prove
interesting to all.
When Plus X was still assistant
priest at Tombolo, his sister, who kept
house for him, had only the complaint
of him: Don Giuseppe studied so hard
at night that he used up so very
many candles" When he was par
ish priest at Salzano it once happened
that corpse had to be brought to
the church from the farthest limits
of the parish. In stole and surplice
the priest accompanied the sacristan
to the house where the dead man lay
In this isolated neighborhood only one
man could be found to help carry the
bier. Don Sarto did not stop to think
very long. He took hold of one handle
and with the sacristan and another
helped carry the body three miles to
the cemetery.
1t sometimes happened that the old
sacristan oversight. The good-hearted
priest would open the door himself,
ring the bell and prepare everything
for Mass. Once when one of his
parishioners wanted to go and awaken
the sacristan, Father Sarto answered
smilingly: Let the old man sleep.
Do you think 1 am not able to open
the door and ring the bell? Permit
me to do something for the old man; l
shall be old myself some day."
To reach his scattered flock, he had
bought a little wagon and donkey.
This humble vehicle soon became
known all over the parish. 1t was a
great help to him, but one day, when
he had nothing to aid poverty
stricken family, he sold wagon and
donkey.
After Father Sarto had become
bishop of Mantua, he was for some
time on very friendly terms with the
director of the City College. He had
however, withdrawn himself from his
association, because the man had be-
come altogether atheistic. When the
bishop learned that the director was
critically ill, he at once went to his
house to ask whether he would not
like to receive a visit from an old
friend. The bishop was admitted
staying for about an hour, and con
verted him. The bishop, himself
brought the viaticum to the dying man
and the old friends parted, both pro-
foundry moved. A few days later the
director died.
When he was made bishop, his
sister wrote to him anxiously: "Bep-
pc, what shall cook for you, now that
you have become bishop?" And he
answered: ''The same as you have
done, just as much and no more" And
the same was true when he became
cardinal. When the sisters went to
market for supplies, they did not have
to overload their basket.
Upon the recommendation of his
physician, the cardinal took a daily
walk during the last years. He

that book of books, teaches us how

what He did and suffered for our sal

LESSON Xiv.
METHODS OF COOKING MEATS

BroiIing-
Is cooking by direct exposure to
heat, or over hot Goals or over flame
(gas).
Par-6oiIing-
Is cooking with little or no fat in
a hot frying pan. The object is to
retain the juices. The method is to
expose the surface of the meat to
great heat, turning frequently. BY
turning frequently the surfaces are
scared and the juices retained. The
tender cuts of beef, mutton and lamb
and some kinds of game are used foI
broiling. Young chicken, small fish
Holsters and oysters may be broiled
Pork and veal should not be broiled
as they require long cooking. Dark
meats, as beef, mutton, ETC., may be
cooked rare. Lamb, chicken and light
meats should be well done. The best
cuts for broiling are steaks from the
loin of beef all between the first rit
and rear of hip bone. Elk, sirloin
porter house, from top of round anC
rump, and the rib or loin chops Of
mutton and lamb. The meat should
be cut across the grain, from three
quarters to one-half inches thick. The
hampers of the stove should be opeI
during broiling, so that the smoke
etc.. may be carried to the chimney
To BroiI Steak
Wipe meat and trim off superfuou'
fat. Rub broiler with little of the
fat. Place meat in broiler and broi
over a clear fire, turning every tel

THE NEW TARIFF LAW
(By Senator La Toilette

1t, is obvious that this "competi-
tive tariff bill is constructed upon
a plan that is not SO widely at var
lance with the strict application of
the principle contended for by Pro-
gressive Republicans; that is, the diff
ference in the cost of production at
home and abroad.
That the bill squares itself with
this principle in all particulars is not
contended. A tariff bill deals with
thousands of products. Reliable da-
ia for determining the cost of pro-
duction has as yet been worked out
with scientific accuracy upon only q
portion of the articles covered by the
BILL But a close study of this bill
will convince any unbiased mind that

products-the general plan and pur-
