to have party this evening, and |
shall wear big, red bows"
rs it such fine thing to get warm
potatoes?" thought the little Tallow
Candle, and it sputtered to think of
it, and more than that no candle can
do.
The table was spread, the potatoes
eaten. Such feast as it was! And
each child had an apple besides, and
the smallest child sang little song:
Jack be nimble,
Jack be quick,
Jack jump over the candlestick.
And the children went to bed, gave
the mother goodnight kiss, and fell
asleep right away; but the mother sat
and sewed and sewed away into the
night to earn living for them; while
from the rich house the music sound
ed and the lights shone. The stars
twinkled over both houses-the rich
and the poor one-just as clearly and
just as kindly.
"This has been fine evening"" said
the little Tallow Candle. Il should
like to know, before l am burned out,
if the big Wax Candle, in his silver
candlestick, has had any better timer"
And it remembered the faces of the
two happy little girls; one lighted by
big wax candle an dthe other by a
little tallow dip.

MANNERS IN CONVERSATION.

A little book published by the
Christian Press Association is called
"The Way, the Why and the When:
it's subtitle, Practical Hints for Cath
Ole Children by an Experienced
Teacher" The teachers advice about
conversation is brief and to the point:
Do not talk with loud voice.
Do not whisper in company; it is
very rude.
Always look people straight in the
face when they speak to you, or when
you are speaking to them.
Do not try to do all the talking
listen to others when they speak.
Never interrupt by questions or an
swers until the speaker has finished.
"The loud laugh bespeaks the va
cant mind"
When spoken to, answer in a clear,
distinct voice; do not humble words.
To use slang, profane words or
rude terms in conversation is the sure
mark of an ill-bred, vulgar boy or
girl.
When asked a question, try to re-
turn direct answer.
Always say Thank you" for any
service rendered you.
Good manners will soon become a
habit if you are careful in little things.

interest of their readers in such sub
jects. These few names represent the
leaders of the movement at the pres
ent time. Around them is clustered
a host of lesser lights inspired by the
work of such masters, and filled with
the traditions of Brunetlere and Cop
pee. With such forces the work of
reconstruction is pushing rapidly on.
Outside of the avowed Catholic
writer's, Maurice Barres, Henri LeVe-
dan, Jules Lemaitre, and Pierre Lott
stand as if undecided with what cur
rent to cast their lot. Barres and
Levedan are apparently Catholics in
all but name. OF late years their
work reveals marked Catholic ten
denotes. Lemaitre, friend and admir-
er of Coppee, not long ago said to
friend: "Ah, I love the priests, the
religious. 1 love all that you love,
you Catholics" Christian heart, pagan
head! Such is Lemaitre at present
Like Lott he has passed through doubt,
and is as yet drifting on the waves of
discomfort. Perhaps ere long they
will find the way so well indicated by
Coppee.
The greatest glories of France date
from the times when France was
Catholic. LA douce France was ever
Catholic France. The mighty wave of
Catholicism which today rolls on with
increasing strength, shows the strug-
gle the soul of the nation is making
to reassert itself This effort is gen.
eral. 1t has effected every domain of
activity, save one Especially in liter
ature-a nations perpetual examina-
ton of conscience-has it wrought a
notable change. When we least ex-
pect it, it may extend itself to the
political world-always the last to
yield to a reforming influence, and
bring home to French politicians the
meaning of a word they have as yet
to learn-liberty.

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
BE KIND.

Up from the sea came an angry cloud,
Heavy and dark and dread;
Swiftly it rose and restlessly
Towards the zenith overhead;
But the kiss of the MONDAY sun was
warm,
The MONDAY breeze was kind,
And the angry cloud died away in the
blue
Nor left a trace behind
From the horizon of every life
Full often clouds arise,
Clouds of worry and grief and care
That darkens pleasant skies.
But if to the law of kindness
Faithful we would prove
Many a cloud would pass away
From the hearts of those we love.
Yes, love is the sunshine of the
world;
Kind deeds and kindly prayer
Garry away on magic wings
Full many heavy care.
To Heavens sweet law of charity
Let us prove ever true
That the clouds in the life of those
we love
May die away in the blue!

GIVE THE BEST.

There are loyal hearts, there are
spirits brave,
There are souls that are pure and
true;
Then give to the world the best you
have,
And the best will come back to you.
Give love, and love to your life will
flow,
A strength in your utmost need;
Have faith, and a score of hearts will
show
Their faith in your word and deed,
Give truth, and your gift will be paid
in kind,
And honor will honor meet;
And a smile that is sweet will surely
find
A smile that is just as sweet.
For life is the mirror of king and
slave,
IT'S just what we are and do;
Then give to the world the best you
have,
And the best will come back to you.

"BE A GOOD BOY; eooD-RY!"

How oft in my dreams | go back to
the day
When l stood at our old wooden
gate,
And started to school in full battle
array,
Well armed with a primer, and
slate;
And as the latch fell thought myself
free,
And gloried, fear, on the sly,
Till l heard a kind voice that whis.
pered to me:
BE a good boy; good-by."
BE a good boy; good-by." 1t seems
They have followed me all these
years;
They have given a form to my youth
full dreams,
And they scattered my foolish fears
They have stayed my feet on many a
brink,
Unseen by a blinded eye;
For just in time would pause and
think:
"Be good boy; good-by."
o brother of mine, in the battle Of
life, "a
Just starting or near its close.
This motto aIoft, in the midst of the
strife,
Will conquer wherever it goes.
Mistakes you will make, for each Of
us errS,
But brother, just honestly try
To accomplish your best. In what
ever occurs,
BE a good boy; good-by."

THE CATHOLIC CAMP FOR CATH
oLIC BOYS.
The Good That 1t May Do and the
Evil 1t May Prevent.

The object of the camps of the Boy
Scouts and of kindred institutions,
says a writer in the Catholic Standard
and Times, is to make the boy manly,
fearless, strong, generous, unselfsh-a
paragon of all the natural virtues. 1t
is commendable as far as it goes, but
it goes not far enough. Under the
sad condition of instructing boys Of
various religious beliefs it cannot
teach positive truths of religion. 1t
can make natures noblemen, perhaps,
but not supernature's. 1t moulds a
boy into a man of non-religion, ire
ligion or of religious indifferentism.
If the scoutmaster or the prevailing
tone of the boys be non-religious, the
tendency of every member is towards

BIG WAX AND LITTLE ,TALLoW.

There was a big Wax Candle that
knew we'll enough what it was.
81 am born in wax it said. 81 give
more light and burn longer than any
other light. My place is in silver
candlestick"
"That must be a charming life,"
said the little Tallow Candle. 81 am
only a little tallow dip; but then,
comfort myself it is better than to be
a mere taper that is dipped only two
times. am dipped eight times to get
decent thickness. / am satisfied
1t would have been finer to be born
in wax, and be put in a glass candle
stick. l live in the kitchen, but that
is good place, too; they get up all
the dishes in the house there"
There is party this evening"" said
the big Wax Candle. 81 shall soon be
sent for
Just then the big Wax Candle was
sent for-but the little Tallow Candle,
too. The mistress took it in her
delicate hand and took it out to the
kitchen. There stood little boy with
basket full of potatoes and few
apples in it, too. The mistress had
given all these to the poor little boy.
Here is little tallow candle for
you, too" she said your mother
sits up and works far into the night,
and she can use it.
The mistress little girl stood near,
and she said, eagerly: "And I'm, go
ing to sit up till night, too! We're
going to have party, and I'm to wear
big, red bows for it.
How her eyes shone! No big Wax
Candle could shine like the child's
eyes.
''That is a blessed thing to see,
thought the little Tallow Candle. 81
shall never forget it"
So the little Tallow Candle was laid
in the basket under the cover, and
the boy took it away. And so the
candle came to the poor people,
mother with three children-in lit
tie, low house right over opposite the
rich house.
God bless the good lady for what
she gave" said the mother. ut is a
splendid candle, and it will burn far
into the night"
And the candle was lighted. Across
the street the wax lights were lighted.
The carriages rumbled up to the rich
house with the guests for the party
dressed so finely. The band struck
up.
s:Now, they're beginning" thought
the little Tallow Candle, and remem-
bered the little rich girls bright face,
which was brighter than all the wax
lights. "That sight I shall never see
any more"
Then the smallest of the children
in the poor house came she was a
very little girl-and she put her arms
around her brothers and sisters
Inecks. She had a secret to whisper
to them
Were going to have this evening
Just think-we're going to have
warm potatoes!" And her face shone
Il with happiness The little Tallow
j Candle shone right in her eyes and
saw that she was as happy as the
lother child who said: We are going

CATHOLIC IDEALIsM.
A New Movement in French Litera-
ture.

The unprecedented awakening of
Catholic idealism which has asserted
itself in French literature in recent
times, drives home to the world one
very important lesson, writes Joseph
L. O'Brien, in the August Catholic
World. Philosophy, which was to re-
establish a new heaven on earth, has
collapsed Philosophy, which was to
answer all the why's and wherefores
which torture the unanchored mind,
has not kept its promises. 1t has
drifted into hopeless confusion and
leads nowhere. All the schools of
philosophy which have followed in the
wake of the Renaissance and the Prot
estant revolt, have done nothing to
ease the human smart. And men
have grown weary of waiting. They
are sick of decisions. They search
for relief from the shattered world
which lies about them. And from
amidst the ruins they catch sight OF
the one system which has stood
strong and firm against the shocks
of two thousand years, and which
fearlessly proclaims: 81 am the Truth. >
Is it to be wondered at if they turn to
it for light? No nation placed fonder
hopes in modern philosophy to bring
about a new order of things thar did
France None has suffered greater
disappointment. Hence the unrest.
Hence the revival of the faith which
for two centuries the philosophers of
the nation blindly sought to destroy.
This collapse of philosophy and it's
pretentions is the great cause of the
religious renaissance which today is
sweeping throughout the land. "Peo-
pie who thirty years ago would have
been fanatic materialists and fervent
devotees of irreligion in the train OF
Robin and of Littre, have snapped
their fingers at the pretentious boast
ings of scientists and felt their souls
warm under the breath of new Chris
tianity." Never" laments the anti
clerical Mercure de France, never
since the time of the Reformation has
such curiosity about everything that
pertains to religion been evident"
Although the movement which so
Unexpectedly made it's appearance in
French literature at the close of the
last century is as yet in its infancy,
it has impressed itself upon the life
of the nation, and has been supported
by many of the ablest writer's of the
day. Bazin, Bordeaux, Victor Favet
and Baumann have supplanted the
Zolas, Daudets, and Maupassants of a
generation ago, and are producing
ideals. These writer's are among the
most widely read in France at the
present time, and the work of each is
of exceptional artistic merit. Rene
Doumic and Victor Giraud, keen
sharp critics, are continuing the work
of Brunetierre. Theodore Wyzewa, by
his excellent translations of Joergen
sens famous Franciscan trilogy and
of Monsignor Benson's works, has put
before the reading public of France
two of the greatest Catholic writers
of the day. Georges Goyau and Paul
Thureau-Dangin, writer's on social anG
historical questions, have produced
books we'll calculated to stimulate the

no religion. If either be irreligious,
the tendency is towards contempt of
religion. If either be Indifferent in
creeds, then the tendency is towards
the worldly attitude of today: No
creed is bad. One is as good as an
other. 1t matters not what you be-
lieve, if you only help in the social
uplift of humanity" Send your boy
into such religious atmosphere, and
he cannot help being influenced some
what by it; cannot help it any more
than you could help being chilled by
the ice-breath if you lived on the
snowf1elds that hug the Northern Pole.
But Catholics should not condemn
non-Catholic camps for non-Catholic
boys. They should condemn non-Cath-
Ollie camps for Catholic boys. They
should not condemn non-Catholic
camps for the good that is done, but
should condemn them for the good
that is not done, and for the evils
that follow the good left undone. Do
you think that your boy in camp is
going to be faithful to morning and
evening prayer while his companion
pray not, or while they cast boyish
jibs at the matter or manner or time
of prayer? Do you think your boy is
going to frequent Mass and the Sacra-
ments while his companions do nei-
Their?
Think you he will desist from an i'm
moral action while his friends, with a
different moral code, laugh mockingly
back at the "saint?" If so, you your
self have never camped under such
conditions IT'S wise son that knows
the weakness of his own father, and
it's a wiser father that knows the
weakness of his own son. You do not
know your own boy.

CROSS MADE OF HoRsEsHoEs.

The erecting of the cross was the
first act of Catholic colonizers,. on set
ting foot on new territory. Usually
the sacred emblem was made of wood,
but in the museum of Georgetown
College there is an ancient cross of
wrought iron that has an interesting
history. The latest issue of the Rec
ords of the American Catholic His
torical Society of Philadelphia de-
scribes it in an article on Bohemia
(Maryland). Bohemia was the earliest
permanent Catholic foundation in the
English colonies outside of the Jesuit
establishments in lower Maryland.
1t was founded by Father Thomas
ManselI, S. j., about 1904, and the iron
cross is supposed to have been brought
there by him. The historian of Cecil
County says: ''It certainly looks an
cient enough to have been brought
over by the Pilgrims who came in the
Ark and Dove" The following pas
sage from the Records states:
cit has been at Bohemia from time
and the tradition attach
ed to it was that it had been brought
to st. Mary's by the first settlers who
came there from England. The cross
is about five feet high, and, if another
tradition have any foundation, it was
hammered from horseshoes contribu-
ted by the first settlers of Maryland.
1t was we'll calculated to withstand
the wear and tear of the elements to
which it was exposed for two cen
turtles and half until it became shell
tered within the archives room OF
Georgetown"
