A cHUM OF MOTHER.

Elizabeth was a school teacher
and very fond of books, and when she
found upon her table one afteronon
new catalogue from a wellknown
publishing house she settled down
with an air of enjoyment to look over
it's pages.
'Well!" she exclaimed in evident
surprise few moments later. what
do you think, mother? One of the
new books listed in this catalogue
is by Janet Avery Cameron She was
in college at the same time l was,
but one or two classes ahead of me-
She hasn't written a story, either, but
something in the history line that
should judge was rather Deep"
It always understood that Janet
was a brilliant girl Elizabeth's
mother said. ''You know my friend
Mrs. Gardner, is an intimate friend Of
Mrs Cameron"
Elizabeth was silent, contrasting
her own humdrum lot with the more
ambitious career which Janet haC
started on.
Wouldn't it be nice if were bril-
liant, mother?'' she said at last witt
] a little sigh. Just think how proud

THE KIND OLD OAK.

It was almost time for winter to
come. The little birds had all gone
far away, for they were afraid of the
cold. There was no green grass in the
fields, and there were no pretty
flowers in the gardens. Cold winter,
with it's snow and ice, was coming. At
the foot of an old oak tree some sweet
little violets were still in blossom.
Dear old oak" said they, winter
is coming; we are afraid that we
shall die of cold"
do not be afraid, little Ones" said
the oak. "Close your yellow eyes in
sleep, and trust to me. You have
made me glad many times with your
sweetness. Now will take care that
winter does you no HARM"
So the violets closed their pretty
eyes and went to sleep; they knew
that they could trust the kind, old
oak. And the great tree softly
dropped red leaf after leaf upon them
until they were all covered up.
The cold winter came, with its snow
and ice, but it could not harm the
little violets. Safe under the friendly
leaves of the old oak they slept and
dreamed happy dreams until the warm
rains of spring came and walked them

you would be if / could write such a
book as Janet has written and get it
published by such house.
Her mother smiled at the wistful
tone. II haven't doubt should be
proud of you, DEAR" she said. but
have many reasons now for being
proud of my daughter Brilliancy is
not always the most satisfying or
enjoyable quality to live with. I hap
pen to know that Janet does not
prove quite the comfort to her mother
that daughter ought to be. She is
rather Indifferent toward all her
family. She is so absorbed in her
own ambitions that she has little con-
sideration for others. / know that
Mrs. Cameron looks somewhat long
ingly at the happy companionship
which you and l enjoy, Elizabeth, and
l haven't a doubt that she would
gladly exchange the pride she feels in
Janet's talents for Janet's loving COM
radeship."
"We are good chums, mother
that's fact" Elizabeth laughed, her
eyes shining.
Eyes, dear, and that's worth more
to me than any amount of fame you
might gain. 1t would be worth
more to Mrs. Cameron, too, I am
sure"
There is nothing out of the way in
girls cherishing the ambition to
gain fame through the use of any
talents she may have; she has the
same right that her brother has to
make the most of her ability and to
work out a career for herself. But
the girl who has no special talent
and who knows that she is not likely
ever to win great special fame or
fortune through her own efforts need
not feel downcast. The chances are
that she will fill a larger place in the
hearts and lives of those who are
nearest to her than the more brilliant
girl who wins fame in some special
line of work The ambitious girl is
apt to sacrifice the home ties to her
work or her studies, and while the
members of the home circle are proud
of any success that she may make,
there is often, under the pride, a
wistful longing to have more of the
girls love and companionship.
To the average mother it is far
more satisfying to be able to feel a
close companionship with her daugh-
ter than to have to sit off at dis
lance and admire her because she
has written a clever book or painted
a fine picture. Mothers love to get
close to their daughters hearts, and
if book or a picture comes in be-
tween there is apt to be sense OF
loss and disappointment.
The girl who has not the talent to
win fame, but who can fit closely into
the hearts of her father and mother
and the others of the home circle,
has no need to envy the brilliant girl
who is working out her career at the
cost of home ties.

necessary delay. At night cot was
placed by baby's bed so that mother
could lie by her little darling.
Now, do you wonder that when
that good Methodist woman in that
good Catholic hospital knelt that
night by her baby's bed to pray, as
was her custom, there was new pc
tition, which she had never before
dreamed would be part of her pray
er, swelled from her heart, and rose
from her lips: God bless the good
Catholic people who built this hos
pital, and those who have been so
loving and kind to baby and me?' 1t
was right for her to pray as she did.
She would have been ungrateful and
| ignoble had she done less.
For several days the little life how
cred in the balance Then treatment
and care won. After nearly three
weeks the happy mother, with her
weak but restored babe, was able to
go home. In a few weeks it was
| learned that the father and mother
and three children had Joined the
Catholic Church-the Church which
went to their relief in their time of
distress.
And this is but one case out of
thousands. With more or less varia-
lions, such instances are repeated
constantly. 1t is shame that South
! ern Methodism has no hospital in
all this great section. That church
which stretches forth a helping hand
to men in the day of their distress is
the church which will win their
hearts, hold their loyalty and receive
their personal and financial support
If Methodism allows some other
church to care for her sick, injured
and afflicted, she deserves to lose
them.

A METHODIST TRIBUTE TO CATH.
oLIc CHARITY.

One morning the big, blue-coated
policeman on duty at the Union Depot
saw little woman bending over the
wee babe in her lap and weeping as
if her heart would break. He stopped
for a moment to take in the situa-
ton and be sure of the need. Then
stepping quietly up to her, he touched
her on the arm and, lifting his hat
said:
Excuse me, madam, but you seem
to be in such distress l would be glad
to help you if could Is there any.
thing l can do for you?"
She lifted her face to his, the tears
streaming down her cheeks, and sob
bed:
"Oh, sir, am just passing through
the city on my way home, and must
wait till evening for my train.
don't know a soul here My baby has
been taken violently i'll, and is just
burning up with fever. I am so afraid
he will die before can get home"
The big officer looked at the little
fellows flushed, drawn face and saw
there was no mistake about his being
very sick. He thought for moment
of the little tot in his own home
whose laughter was such music to his
heart and whom he loved to bounce
on his knee, and as he gently laid his
hand on the scorching little brow he
said earnestly:
% a
take the babe to the hospital al
once"
"Oh," she cried, the anguish on hel
face deepening and the tears gush
ing forth afresh, 81 have no money
to pay for hospital treatment. have
barely enough to pay my fare home. .
"That will not make any difference
madam" the police answered, assur
ingly. Just take the baby to the
Catholic Hospital and tell them your
circumstances, and they will not
charge you a cent"
But I'm a Methodist, she said
her face Frightening as new hope
came to her "Why not take my baby
to a Methodist hospital?"
For a moment the big officer s
glance dropped before her appealing
eyes, and he moved from one foot tC
the other in embarrassment. For once
he was ashamed of his church. Il
was unprepared for this emergency Of
it's own member, and he flinched be
fore the enforced comparison.
Hesitatingly and sadly he replied
I'm Methodist myself, madam
and l am ashamed to tell you there
isn't a Methodist hospital in our city
nor anywhere else in the South, Sc
far as l know"
The conversation ended by the of
ficer telephoning the hospital of the
need. In a short time the ambulance
was at the depot, and the mother anC
babe were borne swiftly to where helI
awaited. Three good Sisters met then
at the door, one taking the baby
while the others cared for the mother
In few minutes baby was on clean
soft bed in a coy white room, anC
the doctor and nurses were givinI
him every attention. A telegram wa

LESSON XIV.
SteWing.

Stewing is cooking slowly, a long
time with small amount of water.
The object is to retain part of the
juice, and extract enough to give
flavor to the gravy This is done by
cutting the meat into suitable pieces
for serving. Divide into two por-
tions. Add u to cold water and heat
slowly to boiling point. Meanwhile
scar the other half by browning in a
little fat in frying pan. Then add
1t to the water and meat. The whole
should then be added or cooked slowly
for 8 hours or until meat is tender.
Beef, mutton, lamb, or veal may be
used, selecting the tough pieces, such
as the neck, shoulder, lower part of
round, etc. Pieces of cold cooked
meat may be added to the stew Meat
with some bone and fat makes a
richer stew than one made with lean
meat. The pieces of meat are usually
dredged with flour before Drowned
This gives color to the stew, richer
flavor, and also thickens the gravy.
Onions, carrots, turnips, parsnips and
used in stews. Tomatoes, string
beans and green peas are sometimes
used. The vegetables should be cut
into 1a-inch cubes, A-inch slices or
strips, and added the last hour of
cooking. The potatoes should be par
boiled minutes, then added to the
stew, allowing 20 minutes for cooking
The vegetables may be cooked sepa
rately. The usual seasonings are
salt and pepper. Sweet herbs, pars
ley, bay leaf, cloves, celery salt OF
catsup may be added. Dumplings are
often served with stew. Place them
so they will rest on the meat and
cook 10 minutes.

Liberty means responsibility"
Some young people want liberty in
the mistaken idea that it means free
dom from everything in the nature of
obligation. But that is license, not
liberty. Liberty always fulfils, and re-
spects, and exalts law. 1t shoulders
burdens, and marches against evil.
Eternal vigilance is it's price, and
those unworthy of it cannot keep it a
day.

CEMENT FOR BIG
 DAM NOW MOVING
--O-O--

Between II o'clock Sunday morning and yesterday evening 300 tons of ce- ment and 200 tons of iron pipe were delivered from the docks in Juneau to the ground on which the materials mentioned are to be used at Salmon creek. The cement was loaded in cars which were carried on barges to the Salmon creek dock. Here they were hoisted by cable tram to the Salmon creek railroad at an elevation of over S00 feet A four mile pull up stin grade and the cars were again hooked to a cable tram and hauled to the site of the upper dam. where the cement was handled for the first time in trans it.
 The barges were handled by Capt. William Dickeson, of the launch Iowa, while the work crews were under the direction of Ed. Hurlbutt The show ing is considered remarkable by freight handlers, and accentuates the system and order prevailing in the con- department of the Alaska Gastineau company The dockage sys- tenn at Salmon creek enables a barge to land at any stage of the tide. A device known as an apron car or lift makes it possible for the cars to be removed from the barge and hauled up the tram at any time With these devices the success depends on the working crews and their management.
