IF CHICAGO DID NOT DRINK.

The temperance idea is steadily
gaining throughout the country, and
it's about time, for the amount of
money that is wasted on booze in
the big cities is appalling. An expert
says that something like 5000, 900, 900
is spent in a year for alcoholic care
chasers in Chicago. Suppose we turned
this money into channels of useful in
dustry. See what it would do: Fifty
million dollars more expended for food
and provisions. What an impetus to
the grocery business all over the city,
Thirty-five million dollars more for
clothing. What employment would
not this furnish for wooden and cotton
mills, to tailors and dressmakers!
Seven million dollars more for boots
and shoes. What a boon to shoe and
leather factories! Sixty million dollars
for new houses. What a demand for
lumber, building material, carpenters,
masons and bricklayersI

The late Adolphus Busch, the
multi-millionaire brewer Of St.
Louis, Mo, who died last week in
Germany, was well known as a
benefactor Of Catholic charities.
Although he was not a Catholic
himself he gave $4,000 to the Sis
tiers of the Good Shepherd Of st.
Louis every year. A few years
ago he gave to the Catholic Or
phanage for Boys in Minneapolis
five acres of land adjoining the
property of that institution. His
donations to non-C Catholic projects
were numerous and quite large.

The late Patrick Ford, editor of
the "Irish World" was as I'M
compromising a foe of drink as
he was Of English misrule, and he
never gave space to liquor adver-
tisements in his paper. It is in
t~eresting to read the following
declaration of his convictions and
policy: MY father was a total
abstainer, and l have always been
one. l felt that, next to England,
whisky was the enemy of my race,
and during the years in which /
have been running the Irish World
l have never allowed a single line
of liquor advertisement in its col
umns."

In last week s issue we referred
to the legal action instituted by
the Sisters Of st. Benedict of
Mount Angel, Oregon, against the
"Silverton Journal" for a SIAN
derous attack made upon them in
its issue of August 1, 1913. 1t is
gratifying to note that at the first

Hosmer, of the Journal, was bound
over to the grand jury despite the
contention of his attorney that an

outcome of this trial will be await

n INCH and Judy stood trembling
on the verge of a real adven-
ture. The twins were in Ken
sington Gardens with Jessie, who
was sitting at the pond in lively con-
'yersation with an attendant. She
had really done her best to entertain
1.-The children, and had told them the
STORY they liked best of all-the
STORY Of how beautiful she was
dressed on the day she married Jack
and of her sorrows afterward, the
first time he came home drunk and
she left him to go to her mother.
And then at last, the most exciting
|of it all, the last words of the story:

seen or heard anything of him"
When Jessie said this her eyes were
always full of tears. Now they had

The Wisdom of Seventeen
BY FRANCES L. GARSIDE.

Is your income elastic? Will you,
when less than 20, be contented to
stay at home in the evening, like an
old man is contented, because the go
ing out means the price of shoes for
the baby? Will you, when still a boy,
find recreation in such outings as are
suitable for the wife and the babies
and feel no regret when the other
boys go unham-ared and carefree %
the swimming pool and the diamond?
Have you such perfect self control
that you are fit to control others? Do
you really know the girl you lover
Isn't your admiration for her similar
to that which you feel for a butte--
fly? But did you ever, my son. see
butterfly that survived a storm?
Do You Know Love?
Do you know what love is? You
may know the world Being II. theirs
is no doubt you know IT.: but do you
know what love is?
The love that lasts; that grows
stronger, and more tender, and broad
er, and more charitable with the
years; the love that is love, and not
passing sentiment based on vanity or
animal attraction. You have no moro
comprehension of that than you have
or the lie at the Deu OF Ine ocean!
You have caught a glimpse of the
alphabet, and claim you are perfect
in the language. You have heard
strain of sweet music, and believe
you are fit ed to lead the orchestra.
NY son, you don't know what love
is! Keep on trying to learn, and some
day you will know. Fall in love, and
fall out again. Keep a tenant in your
heart all time. That is the privi-
lege Of youth and the comfort Of olo
age. But don't, I beg Of you, don't
think OF getting married when you are
only II!
Know yourself first! Believe me,
when It comes TO getting Marie
that is more important than knowing
the world and all there is in 1t.

A FIcTioNLEss FABLE.

a GIRL stood trembling on the
II banks of the River of Forgetful-
4 n ness. She had crossed the arid
plains of Lost Illusions. and beyond
the streams lay the Mountains of Strug-
gle.
Her body was weary. her limbs trem-
bled, her feet bled; but the light in
the Temple of Her Soul still burned
with feeble glow. She had retained her
right to look all men and women unfal-
terlng in the eye.
Beneath she beheld, the River of For
getfulness-its waters seemed cool and
blue. But far TO the right, at the head
of the stream. lay the Rapids OF Des-
peration. Beyond was the Sea of Dark
ness and Disgrace. To the left was the
sucking Whirlpool of Death.
Before her lay an old bridge rotting
from disuse and neglect Its name the
girl did not know.
She struggled with herself for a few
agonized moments. Then she lifted
one bleeding foot and set 1t on the old
bridget twisted and bent beneath
her on the rotting timber and ached
anew as splinters pierced it.
The girl paused and gazed almost
longingly at the blue waters of Forget
fulness that lay beneath. She remem-
bered the weary way she had come.
She knew that beyond lay the Noun
tains of Struggle.
She lifted her eyes to the clear sky
tottered forward another step and laid
a blistered hand on the rusted rail at
the old bridges side. She went on an
other step and another. Then beneath
an aching foot she felt a bit of cool
moss. A little smile trembled across
her face. The light in her soul famed
up anew.

The family possessing the finer,
