THE BLuEBIRDs' CALL FOR HELP.

I found, one day, when passing
through an orc ard, a young bluebird,
lying at the foot of a tree. 1t had
fallen evidently from it's nest and lay
helpless with one of it's legs badly
injured. picked up the baby thing
and tenderly carried it to the cottage,
where I made nest of grass for it
in one of my rubbers, and placed it
at the end of the porch.
soon found that the parent birds
had kept close watch of their baby
They were very shy of me at first, and
hesitated to FEED their little one when
was near. Gradually, however, they
grew less afraid, and sang their soft
notes and busily flew back and forth
bringing food to their loved one.
Both mother and father bird insisted
that the little bird should not stay
in the rubber on the porch. Every
morning before came out, they had
coaxed it out of it's nest into the long
grass below. At evening, thinking it
needed warmth, and that the parents
would have to leave it for the other
nestlngs, l put 1t back in the rubber
and covered it over with stocking.
One afternoon I was sitting on the
steps when suddenly the old birds
became greatly excited. They flew
from the end of the porch in circles
toward me, closer and closer, till
feared they would strike my face. I
first thought they were trying to drive
me away, and then it occurred to me
that some danger to their little one
was lurking in the grass. I rose quick
| ly, went around the porch, and was
just in time to see snake in the act
of Selling the young bird who lay
with wings outspread and painting
with fright. My presence instantly
scared the snake away and the old
birds we're straightway greatly re-
lieved. Somehow ever since that time
I cannot help feeling little proud
that the birds sought my aid and that
understood their call for help. What
pity had not responded.

There was once an old monk who
was walking through forest with a
little scholar by his side. The old
man suddenly stopped and pointed
to four plants close at hand. The
first was just beginning to peep
above the ground; the second had
rooted itself well into the earth; the
third was small shrub; whilst the
fourth and last was full-sized tree.
then the old monk said to his young
companion:
"Pull up the first"
The boy easily pulled it up with
his fingers.
'Now pull up the second"
The youth obeyed, but not so
easily.
"And the third"
But the boy had to put forth all
his strength and used both arms be-
fore he succeeded in uprooting it.
"And now" said the master, "try
your hand upon the fourth"
But 10! the trunk Of the tall tree
(grasped in the arms of the YOUTH
scarcely shook its leaves; and the lit
tie fellow found it impossible to tear
it's roots from the earth.
Then the wise old monk explained
to his scholar the meaning of the
four trials.
"This, my son, is just what happens
with our bad habits. When they are
young and weak, one may by little
watchfulness over self, and the help
of little self-denial, easily tear them
up; but if we let them cast their
roots deep down into our souls, no
human power can uproot them; the
Almighty hand of the Creator alone
can pluck them out.
For this reason, my child, watch
we'll over the first movements of your
soul and study, by acts of virtue to
keep your passions in check"

A cHILD's HYMN OF PRAISE

Can a little child like me
Thank the Father fittingly?"
Yes, oh, yes; be good and true,
Patient, kind, in all you do;
Love the Lord, and do your part;
Learn to say with all your heart,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee.
For the fruit upon the tree,
For the birds that sing of Thee,
For the earth in beauty dressed,
Father, mother, and the rest;
For Thy precious, loving care,
For Thy bounty everywhere,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee.
For the sunshine, warm and bright
For the day and for the night,
For the lessons of our youth,
Honor, gratitude and truth;
For the love that met us here
For the home and for the cheer,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee.
For our comrades and our plays,
And our happy holidays;
For our lives but just begun,
For the great gift of Thy Son,
For the joyful work and true,
That little child may do,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee.

THE BOY THAT LAUGHS.

I know funny little boy,

himself out.

dressing the priest, "of the pride and
sloth of those bishops and cardinals!
1t is not monstrous? I warrant now
that, while the cardinal has sent you

heels and drinking good warm

"Why?"
Because he is doing nothing of the

"Your name? What is it?"

carriage for your eminence?"
"Oh, no; l can go back as came.

The cardinal departed.
A few days afterward the hotel
keeper went to priest for instruc-
lions and was finally received into the
Church.

AVOID BAD COMPANY.

Either you are little saint, or you
are weak. In either case bad company
is out of the question. For, granting
you are little saint, bad companions
will have nothing to do with you.
They do not stand for any kind of
preaching. To mix with them, even
for the object of bringing them around,
will be useless. They will give you
to understand that they will not listen
to your talk One never sees a white
dove among black crows. If you are
weak you have all the more reason to
keep away from bad company. Your
very weakness should be a warning
to you. You should, and you do know
beforehand that you win not be able
to resist temptation. Why, then, enter
temptation? You pray every day
Lead us not into temptation" Why
then, should you seek temptation? One
day we all hope for the bliss of be
ing in the company of angels. We car
not prepare ourselves for this bliss
by now seeking the company of devils
Hence, avoid bad company.

WIDOWS IN INDIA.

The most fortunate thing that can
happen to a Hindu woman is to die
before her husband. Her death is
then regarded by all as a reward for
her virtue. To live after the death
of her husband is purgatory, to live
long time is hell. Her widowhood
is the punishment of her crimes. A
few days after the death of the hus-
band, when the religious rites are con-
cluded, the members of the husbands
family gather around the widow and
remove her jewels and shave her
head. After spending two days In
rigid fast she dons the garments OF
her widowhood and begins her life OF
suffering in expiration of her crimes.
She is hateful to those around her, in
her husbands home, for it is her sins
that have caused his death. Religion
holds no consolation for her. Her
only god, her husband, is dead, dead
because of her sins.
In the words of one who is herself a
Hindu widow, Though she lives she
is not alive; though she remains alone
in her corner and may not talk to
anyone, her former friends are near
and speak to her in this wise. Her
mother says: Unhappy creature,
cannot bear the thought of one so vile
I wish she had never been born The
mother-in-law: The horrid viper, she
has bitten my son and killed him
Now he is dead and she, useless crea,
ture, is left behind To all of this the
poor widow must listen in silence. O
Lord, why hast Thou created us to
suffer like this From birth to death
sorrow is our only portion While ou1
husbands live we are slaves, when
they die we are worse off. In Eng
land am told they comfort the heart
of the widow, but there is no comfort
here"
AS widows are forbidden to marry
they are constantly growing in mum
Der. According to the census of 1911
in the province of Madras alone there
were four million widows, of whom
1888 had not yet reached the age Of
five, while 81 of these were infants
less than one year old. Daughters
are married usually when about sever
years old, according to the teaching
of Manou. After the marriage cere
monies they return to the homes Of
their parents for a few years. Once
they enter the house of their husband
they may never return; they are his
body and soul. What wonder, indeed
that when the English, in 1880, abol
ished the custom of burning the wild
ow on the funeral pyre with her hus
band the women of the land criet
out in protest? Better few moments
of suffering than long life of humilia
ton and contempt.
The condition of women in Indi:
brings home to us the deep debt tina
womankind owes to the Church, which
has raised the wife and mother to ;
position of honor in the home ant
which has ever insisted upon woman
essential dignity. The church is a.
ready doing much for the women o
India and the results are apparent Il
the change of attitude towards womel
that is beginning to come abou
amongst the better classes.

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
THE CARDINALS CONVERT.

When the late Cardinal Cullen of
Dublin, Ireland, lived, there was a
sick call for a priest from the Pro-
Cathedral. The sick person was at the
hotel, the proprietor of which
was Protestant.
A stormy, wet, dark night it proved
AS soon as the messenger got there
a priest started. Through mud and
slush he made his way, and at last
arrived at the hotel, saw the sick per-
son and gave him the sacraments.
Everything went of as usual thus far
but now the curious part began. The
proprietor of the hotel, a good-natured,
earnest man, thinking to do a little
proselytizing, invited the priest to
come into his own sitting room. After
administering some welcome refresh
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1913-03-01

saw him tumble on his nose,
And waited for groan;
But how he laughed! Do you suppose
He struck his funny bone?
There's sunshine in each word he
speaks,
His laugh is something grand
It's ripples overrun his cheeks
Like waves on snowy sand.
No matter how the day may go,
You can not make him cry;
He's worth a dozen boys I know
Who pout and NOPE and sigh.

when we think of the men whom
Jesus our Blessed Lord, chose for
His Apostles. Not one was taken
from the families of kings, emperors,

them, we're the twelve selected to
represent the Redeemer on earth, and
to continue His work for the CONVEX

AS the pitter and patter of little feet.

The feet of the children that love

The feet of the little children,
Away from the roads of wrath
To follow them down in the morn

On their rosy and lovely path!

For all of us If the way were glad
Before and around us to go as they
Who follow the childhood feet today,
Down to their dancing and down to

In life's green places of mother earth.

Away from the battle and strife
To follow them out to the hills OF

Through the violet valleys of life!

THE PREsIDENTs-THEIR BOOK
LEARNING.

The life of Woodrow Wilson has
been so largely connected with edu-
cational work that now, when he is
about to become President of the
United States, it is of interest to re-
view the educational advantages and
disadvantages of his predecessors.
Of the twenty-six presidents, six
have been notably "uneducated," in
the sense that they were without book
learning. Five have been literally
educated" one has received military
education and fourteen have taken
the traditional college A. B. degree.
President Washington (17S9-97) quit
school when he was sixteen and never
taught. John Adams (1797-1801) was
graduated (1775) from Harvard and
taught two years in preparatory
school at Worcester, Mass. Jefferson's
(1801-09) graduation from William and
Mary in 1853 his founding of the Uni
versity of Virginia, and his illustrious
services to his country, are familiar.
Madison (1S09-17) graduated (1771)
from Princeton, took one year of
graduate work at the same place, but
never taught. Monroe (1817-25) at
tended William and Mary for two
years and then entered a law Office.
John Q. Adams (1S25-29) graduated
from Harvard (17S7) and became a
lawyer.
Andrew Jackson (1S29-37) never
studied books and never taught. Van
Buren, (1837-4D never studied and
never taught. w. H. Harrison (1841)
received a classical education at Hamp-
den Sidney (17S7-9O), then began the
study of medicine in Philadelphia, but
became a lawyer in 1871. Tyler
(1841-45) graduated (1807) from Will
liam and Mary and became a lawyer.
Polk (1845-49) graduated (1818) from
the University of North Carolina and
became a lawyer. Taylor (1849-50)
never studied and never taught. Fill
more (185O-53) never attended college,
taught in the elementary schools, and
studied law at the same time. Pierce
(1S53-57) graduated (1824) from Dick
inson.
Abraham Lincoln's (1861-65) lack of
educational training is uniquely IA
miliar. Johnson's (1865-69) poor edu-
cational opportunities are we'll known.
Grant (1S69-77) graduated (1S43) from
West Point, the 21st in a class of
thirty-nine, and became a soldier
Hayes (1877-81) granted (1842) from
Kenyon college and the Harvard law
school (1845.)
President James A. Garfield (1881)
was graduated (1S56) from Williams
became professor of ancient languages
at Hiram college, and later president
of the same institution.
Chester A. Arthur (1881-85) was
graduated (1841) from Union College
taught in the elementary schools and
studied law at the same time. Gro
yer Cleveland (1885-89, 1S93-97) pre-
pared for Hamilton, but never attend.
ed. BENJAMIN Harrison (1889-93) was
graduated 1882 from Miami and be
came lawyer. Mckinley (1897-1901)

taught a while and became a lawyer

graduated (1880) from Harvard anG
attended for short while the Law
school of Columbia university. Presi
dent Taft (1909-13) was graduated
(1S78) from Yale, second in his class
and tied for first honors on gradua
ton from the law school of Cincinnati
