My Dear Mr.. Watson: Friend and

who recently bought cheap pocket

The "enclosed" was this tender

Sisters Of Mercy,
No. 273 Winoughby Ave,
Brooklyn.
We received your favor of the
18th inst, contents of which we
have noted.
We are sorry to say that the goods
ordered by you the other day had
already been forwarded by us to
Syosset before we received your tele-
phonic message to hold same until
further notice. We trust however
the goods arrived safely.
We have taken note Of your order
for 1 barrel Of Bourbon, same as
last, which we shall deliver at the
large gate in Graham St, as per
your directions.
Yours very truly,
LUYTIN BROS. & HENLEE.
Now, what on earth did the Sis
ters of Mercy, of 273 WiIloughby
Ave, Brooklyn, New York, want
with that barrel Of Bourbon bug
water? And it was another bar
rel of that same!
All me! This is a queer world.
There are many things which we
mustn't expect to understand.
Did you know that our Holy
Pepper, at Rome, is surrounded
by petticoat wearers who are eX-
tremely fond Of fermented grape
juice, and who will look upon it
when it is red, until they them
selves get red?
Well, it's fact. ! have before
me as | write these lines a gor-
geous testimonial to a wine grow
ing firm, of Italy, gjoen at the
Vatican, where Pepper lives
and where so many pious ladies
live-and this testimonial is
signed by Cardinal Merry del
Val, the Spaniard who seems to
be running Pepper, here of late
years.
This gorgeous testimonial in
favor Of that Italian wine is used
in it's business by a liquor-house
of New York City.
With Pepper and his cardinals
testifying to the wine, [ don't
wonder that the Sisters, over in
Brooklyn, need barrels of Bour-

Here is what one of our church
papers sees:
Romanism is establishing anti
American schools all over our land.
It is teaching in these schools anti
American sentiments. It is orga-
nizing anti-American societies
throughout the country and en-
couraging their members to oppose
our American institutions. All Of
this is going on in every state in
the Union and hardly a voice is
raised in protest or in warning.
Where is our boasted free press?
Is it dead? What kind of press
have we? Will someone answer?

Miss Anna Leary, Papal Countess,

that she had made plans to have
every battleship and armed cruiser

be presented to the feet commanders

In Washington City, the Ro-

girl named Florence Cleland. In
trying to escape from this unlaw-
full imprisonment, the poor little
girl lost her life.
An investigation was de-
handed, but the Romanists
headed it off. How?
BY preaching against it, and by
boycotting the Washington pa

The Hopkins Journal gleefully an
nounces that the banks in Hopkins
have decided to adopt a new method
in discovering whether applicants for
loans are trustworthy. When a man
comes in to ask for loan the cashier
will step to the telephone and find
out from the newspaper Office whether
he has paid his subscription. "If he
has," says the Journal, "he can bor-
row the limit at the bank; otherwise
his application will need 10 be backed
with ten times the usual security"

to the taxpayers on insurance on

furnish US free Office rent also, Amer
leans being said to be lovers of tair

miserable surroundings. A dozen
years or so ago he was easily the
foremost comedian. There was no
horseplay effect in his: acting. At
that time he was able to make SIS,
900 a year, for he could draw audi
ences that would warrant a manager
in paying him such salary. The
announcement that Seabrooke was in
the cast always filled a ,heater in
these days.
But Seabrooke made one mistake.
He though he could get away with
John Barleycorn and put him under
the table. He knew that other men
had failed, and failed miserably, in
the unequal contest, but he thought
that he was to be the one exception
the man who could win the victory.
But he didn't win. They never do
win who start out on such a trial of
strength. The end is always the
same, dishonor, humiliation, shame
and suffering Of every kind. Sea-
brooke died in delirium tremens.
He had one supreme agony of mind,
when all the devils and snakes of
hell tormented him, and then he was
dead, dead at a time when he ought
to be in the beginnings Of mellow
maturity, the kind of maturity,
in which Joe Jefferson was
at mis- best and during which he gave
friends and admirers their greatest
pleasure out of art.
But Joe Jefferson didn't drink the
stuff, while Thomas Q. Seabrooke
drank it and was fool enough to be-
lieve that he could get away with it.

prohibitive amount, and in 1915,

Thoughts For The Thinker.

Thoug hts For The Thinker.
Keep yourself we'll in hand, and
that hand clean.
Some men think any foul story is
funny.
The fellow who is always shooting
off his mouth Is too soft to feel the
back-kick.
A vinegary tongue makes poor
sauce, though it may be saucy enough.
Putting off a duty is repudiating it
for the time being.
Some folks kick against every good
movement, and then when it becomes
established despite their protest and
opposition. they always dip in and
endeavor to get more than their
share of the benefits.
You cannot lay the blame for every
fault upon human nature, and there
is no use to try it. Human nature is
pretty faulty all right enough, but it is
a good deal better than some OF US
let on. 1t is some other sort of thing
that gets into US sometimes, and we
don't want to take the blame of it.
If we would live up to the dictates of
wholesome human nature all the
time we would be a whole lot better
off than some Of US are.
Jealousy of neighbor's prosper
ity doesn't make our corn come up
any better, or mend the broken wires
on our fences, and likewise it has no
tendency to make our pillows any
more restful.
A stitch in time saves nine, and
likewise it conserves the temper.
Paint is a sign of prosperity except
when it IS carmine on the nose.
1t is all right to be independent
and do as you please, provided your
pleasure is nobody's grief.
1t is fine compliment to you when
the birds are not afraid to sing and
nest in the shade trees about your
homestead.
Get the boys up in time to see the
glory of the sunrise and hear the won
drous morning concert of the birds,
but let them go TO bed in the soft
cleaning of the summer evening, and
90 to sleep in the still quietude which
should prevail upon the farmstead
soon after the feathered tribe have
gone to roost.
1t is quite incongruous when lit
tie bit of a man tells a whopping big
lie, but that fact doesn't deter him in
the least if he is so disposed.
1t riles one all up to have lazy
neighbor come to visit him on his
busiest day.
Sunday dinner parties and the
prosperity of the rural church find it
mighty hard to be on friendly terms.
1t is a fact worthy of your earnest
consideration that farm land located
in the vicinity OF a fourishing rural
church is worth on the market from
SO to $50 more to the acre than the
same sort of land remote from any
church. One of the best paying farm
improvements in any community is a
we'll supported church. Wise men
know that there are things worth pay
ing for besides fertility of soil.-Farm

Mothers Day.

The second Sunday in May has
been set apart as day in which we
honor the mothers, not only ones
own mother but all mothers. We
pay tribute to our naval and political
heros-this comparatively new holi-
day is designed to pay tribute to
motherhood.
my son never 60 anywhere you
would be ashamed to take your
mother never associate with anyone
you would not wish to introduce to
your mother-never say anything you
would be ashamed to say to your
mother, nor listen to stories you
would not wish her to hear," is the
farewell caution given to many boy
on leaving home. No boy ever went
astray who needed that caution. A
good mothers influence is not for
one day only, it is forever. Children
may disregard her wishes while she
lives, but when she is gone, when her
loving heart no longer finds excuses
for their transgressions then her IN
fiuence becomes stronger, reaching
out from the grave to purify and up
lit, to strengthen the weak impulses
and broaden the life.
The observance of Mothers Day
is indicated by wearing white
carnation in memory of the mother
who has passed on, and a red carna-
ton for the mother who is living.
Other white flowers are used to mark
the day, but the white carnation is
Mothers Day Emblem.
Mothers Day is day on which
the absent children should write long
letters home to their parents, letters
that contain more than "How are
you9 | am all right. Love to you and
father. Goodbye" But don't write
oyour mother, or any one els ;,
during fit Of the blues. The cause
OF depression doubtless will have dis
appeared before she receives YOUR
letter, and she will be troubled with
out cause.
On Mothers Day, honor the best
mother that ever lived, your own, by
wearing white carna:ion.
Here'sto the white carnation; wear il on
Mothers Day;
Flowers that bloom for mother, wiusome
and gallant and gay.
Flowers of perfect sweetness flowers for hut
and hall

To any delinquent subscriber who

Moore of the Hume Border Tele-
phone hands out this good advice
"When your home merchant presents
you with his bill do not allow the
hair on your spine to rise like porcu-
pine quils, and do not look as though
you had been insulted. The chances
are he trusted you for the shirt on
your back and the groceries to keen
your family. Speak kindly to him
who has Accommodated you, for you
know you like prompt pay in others.
A man whose temper rises to ninety
degrees in the shade when asked
for just account and feels his
dignity has been trampled on is a
good man-not to trust"
