son of the poor, heart to heart with them during
all his priesthood knowing nobody better, how SUI
peror to outward show the inward values of the
human soul, he entered the Vatican the most unas-
spinning pope it ever received.
Simple, kindly fixed in his attachment to time
tested beliefs with not particle of personal vanity
but intensely jealous of the church's dignity and
function, he went through serenely difficult and
sorrowful if the lonelest office in the world
by his loveableness of character commanding uni

And at last, his strength spent, came the horrors
Of this awful war to shock and opress him till in
anguish his peaceloving soul took its final flight to

NOT WORTH WHILE

Little Kate, with swollen face
and streaming eyes, strenuously
opposed her mothers plan of visit
ing the dentist. Her mother gain
ed a complete victory by promis-
ing her a kitten for which she
had been longing for weeks.
The gas had been duly admin
istered, and the wretched tooth
dragged from its lair. Kate began
to wake up. Then she felt her
aching head, and became aware of
the pain in her gums. Then she
was violently sick
Lying back in her chair, ex-
hausted and miserable, she sud
denly startled the dentist by ex-
claiming:
What a rotten way to get a kit

SPORTING, INSTINCT

Simpkins asked a few of his
former colleagues at the bank to
come down for a few days shoot
ing
One morning they were all
popping their guns off-without
doing much damage-when a
game warden came mp and asked
to see their licenses. To his
friends surprise Simpkfns bolted
as IL all the furies were at his
heels. while they discreetly retir-
ed to the house.
The game warden gave chase
for about a mile and a half and
then Simpkins came to a halt.
Putting his hand in his pocket, he
produced a license. The painting
coppes mopped his brow.
What did you bolt for II you
had a license all the timer"

An inspection of the Parental School, supervised
by the local school board, forcefuly impresses the
visitor that the 20-odd lads confined therein are
as matter of fact, enjoying vastly better home in
fluenee than perhaps one-half the boys who live
with their parents Mr.. and Mrs. John c. Greene,
In charge of the school, young folk. Greene who
is head -master, farm boss, companion and robust
vithal is young enough to have the boys viewpoint.
Personally If boy again, we would be
strongly tempted to hook jack and thrust out an i'm
pudent tongue at the truant officer and devise other
devilish means, to enjoy few months at the Parent
al school, it is conducted in Tacoma. Once boy
has been judge "ineorrigble,' the best way, sane
authorities agree, to improve him is to strengthen
his spirit, not to break it, 'tIncorrigbty' in boys
Is another and more awsesome term for BOYS who
not milksops. We hazard the guess that Huclxleber
ry Finn, and Teddy Roosevelt and Henry Ford and
such, were "incorrigibles' in their day.
