THE FAMILY PHYSICIAN.
Children's Horror of Physicians is
Handicap to Them.
(By Observer"

Only short time ago was Wis.
itor in a home where a little girl had
just recovered from what her par
ents and the family physician had
feared would be fatal illness.
The conversation between the
mother and the physician on his las.
visit was, think, we'll worthy of re-
cording here. The mother had told
the doctor she felt so thankful that
he had saved her child's life.
THAT may be, said the physician,
"but your own training of that child
is what has more likely saved her
life. Teaching ner how TO gargle, 10
have her temperature taken, to have
her throat examined, and to take
even bad-tasting medicine when nee
essary has made it much easier for
me and far better for the child. Many
of my little patients have fear of
a doctor and think Of him with as
much horror as though he were big
black policeman coming TO get them.
Then they resist every effort we make
to help them. Consequently, they
raise their temperature, excite their
nerves and thus get little benefit
from our treatment. wish every

The pupils Of Miss Smithers had
just completed patriotic exercises

around their instructor to give a
salute to the flag. Miss Smithers a
few minutes later turned to enter
the school and suddenly discovered
she was unable to find her way.
She groped her way blindly into
the school house and reached her
desk. Later the students were inform.

PIPE STEM IN HIS TONGUE.
Cedar Rapids Man Carried Souvenir
About For Long Time.

Cedar Rapids, Ia, Nov. 30.-Af-
ter going for three years with piece
of bone pipe stem an inch and half
long in his tongue, Thos. Golfer,
aged 81, submitted to an operation
on Saturday for the removal of it.
1t was while celebrating his birth
day three years ago that Mr.. Crofter,
engaging in a friendly wrestling
match with a son-in-law, fell on his
face with pipe in his mouth. The
stem broke and a part of it could not
be found. Not until several months
later did Mr.. Crofter notice swell
ling in his tongue. Fearing it might
be cancer he finally consulted "a
physician a few days ago and discov-
cred, much to his surprise that he
had been carrying the missing pipe
stem around in his tongue for three
years. When the stem was removed
1t was noticed that it had not ever
been splintered.

TWO RABBITS WITH ONE SHOT
One-Armed Hunrer Hangs up Record
That is Seldom Equaled.

Killing two rabbits with the dis
charge of single barrel of a shot
gun is most unusual experience for
any hunter, to say nothing of the ac-
complishment providing the hunter
has but one arm. Such a feat wss
the experience of Dewey F. LaPlant,
a Western Union Telegraph operator
of Marshalltown, who lost his left
arm twenty years ago this winter
while hunting rabbits.
The other day LaPlant went out
rabbit hunting, the mere fact that he
had lost an arm at the game never
having caused him to be "gun-shy."
A rabbit got up ahead of LaPlant
and when it was far enough away 80
that LaPlant thought he wouldn't
shoot him to pieces, pulled the trig-
ger. The rabbit fell dead in his
tracks. The very instant LaPlant
shot another rabbit turned a somer-
sault in the air and fell dead within
a few feet Of where lay the rabbit
LaPlant had shot at. The second
rabbit happened to be in direct line
also to receive .he charge from the
point where he was hiding, and La
Plant bagged two at the expense of
a single shot.

which stood apart from all the others
and yet combined in itself the peculiar
tiles which distinguished them, and
that was the yearly sacrifice of the
Pasch, offered in memory of, and in
thanksgiving for, the deliverance of
the Israelites from the power of the
Egyptian Pharaoh.
According to the Paschal ritual, the
lamb was to be slain, its blood sprink-
led on the doorposts of the peoples
dwellings,, while the lamb itself was
to be roasted and eaten, and if any
portion were left it was to be con-
sumed by fire, and thus this sacrifice
combined the elements of the other
three; the blood of the victim was
offered TO God-there is the element
of sacrifice for sin; the lamb was to
be eaten-there is the essence of the
peace-offering; and what remained
was to DE burnt with fire-and here is
one of the characteristics of the holo-
caust. And yet this great sacrifice,
carrying with it an amazing history,
was of no avail any more than the
others to set the world right with
Cod The sacrifices of the Old Law
could teach man his dependence; they
could tell him of real worship, they
could incite him to acts OF contrition,
but they were merely the shadows Of
what was to come. And in time the
vast multitudes of the Jews forgot
that They came to the fair city of
Jerusalem, where alone sacrifice
the Temple courts; they watched
with eagerness the preparations; they
saw the priests, each ready for his al
lotted task; they looked upon the vic
tim, as it was led to the altar, perfect
in formation, without spot or blemish;
there was the high priest, in vesture
of sacrifice. Then the knife would be
buried in the flesh, and the blood
would flow into the golden bowl and
be offered for the sins of the praying
throng. Surely here was great real
ity, something which would last until
the end of time. But no! Four thou
sand years of waiting, and then per-
feet Sacrifice, offered once upon a
bare, unornamented altar; sacrifice
wherein One was Victim and Priest;
a perfect Sacrifice to be offered day
by day and year by year as seasons
waxed and waned, upon affairs of mar
BILE and costly stone. A sacrifice
wherein the old holocaust would see
fulflment, for it would be offered for
all, perfect in the extravaganza of it's
absolute completion. A sacrifice in
deed for sin, for each Sustained soul
would claim his share in it. A sacri-
fee of peace, for he that should eat of
this sacrifice would live for ever, and
today this sacrifice is set forth fresh
and potent as upon Calvary-it is call
ed the Holy Mass, the priceless treas
ure of the Church, her life, her sweet
ness, and her love.

A RESURRECTION.

Now, how many are there who have
risen, with the help of God, from a
career of sin, and who at this mo-
ment feel within them the lusty life
of grace, but who will again, through
human frailty, through neglect of
prayer, through the strength of their
own sinful passions and bad habits;
above all, through their imprudently
thrusting themselves into the occa-
sion of sin, fall again into state of
spiritual death, never again, perhaps,
to be awakened to a life of grace by
the quickening voice of God; but to
be abandoned to eternal reprobation.
These are the abortions of the
Church's spiritual life and the vic
tins of their own insane folly.
But, give me a spiritual uprisal,
modelled truly on the Resurrection of
Jesus Christ. Give me a spiritual life
analogous to His during the Easter
days. Give me a resurrection, say,
modelled on that of Jesus Christ, and
an after-life like to His, of Whom the
Gospel tells us that to show that He
was truly risen from the dead He
performed the functions of a living
man by daily conversing with the dis
ciples, by eating with them, and by the
performance of other vital actions. So
you, 1 say, show forth to the world
that your resurrection to the spiritual
life is one effected by the help of
grace and destined to be perpetual, by
speaking, aye, laundering in the ears
of God the voice of prayer and of con-
triton for your past sins; by eating,
yes, sharing in the ineffable banquet
of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ
by frequent communion, and by doing
the works of Christ; that is, by the
practice of Christian virtues. Give
me such a resurrection and such a
subsequent life Of such a one it
can be said what was said of Jesus
Christ-that being risen from the
dead "He dieth no more; death hath
no longer dominion over Him; but
the supernatural life begun here by
grace is destined to be perfected here
after in glory.

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. BERNARD, FRIAR PREACHER.

This holy priest held in the thir-
teenth century the Office of sacristan
in the Dominican house at Santarem
in Portugal, and had under his charge
two boys, sons of poor parents, who
daily served the Masses of the Fa-
theirs, and received in return from
them such learning as they could af-
ford; by which they SO prof1ted, that
they held it their greatest privilege
to assist at the altar, and stand in the
immediate presence of the Lamb of
God. 1t was their custom when Mass
was over to take their morning meal
in chapel near the church, in which
was an image of the Infant Jesus, to
whom they would offer portion of
their food; and the Holy Child would
come and eat with them, teaching
them the while the hidden things of
Divine Love. Which, when Bernard
heard, he babe them pray to Jesus
thus: Thou contest, o Lord, day
by day, to us; grant that we too, and
our Father Bernard, may sit as guests
at Thy table, Then Jesus granted
their prayer, promising them that
they should keep the festival of His
Ascension with Him. The day came,
and the boys as usual served Bern
ards Mass. When it was ended the
three knelt for a moment before the
altar; and as they knelt sleep
came over them, and they passed
from the house of God on earth to
His home is heaven.
The monks buried Bernard and the
two servers in one and the same
grave; but so sweet was the perfume
that came from their bodies that it
rose through the earth, proclaiming
the holiness of these servants of God.
Such rewards are only for saints; but
all who assist worthily at the Sacred
Mysteries obtain in this life purity Of
soul, hidden intercourse with God;
and in the next speedy entrance
into the joys of the blest.

JESUS IN THE TABERNACLE.

Sweetest Jesus, kind and dear,
For my sake, abiding here,
Not in glory bright and great,
But in poor and mean estate;
Look on me who kneel before
This Your little curtained door,
Through that door, if I could see,
You would look like bread to me;
But Yourself is there l know;
For Yourself has told me so.
Humbly here / kneel and pray:
Help me, Jesus, day by day,
Till the time when / shall see,
You in all Your majesty.
Help me Jesus to refrain
From all naughty words and vain,
And from every naughty deed.
Like the thorns that made You bleed
By the wounding Of Your side,
Keep me from the sin of pride;
By the wounding of Your hands,
Break the power of Satan's bands;
BY the wounding of Your feet,
Teach me Your obedience sweet.
Bless my dear ones, dearest Lord,
In their thought and deed and word
Bless, dear Jesus, every one
Jesus, sweet, my time is done.
Now, goodbye. And yet I know
How Your love will with me go,
Though within the Church you stay,
All the night and all the day.

VISIT TO OUR LADY AFTER HOLY
COMMUNION.

Mother, upon my lips today,
Christ's precious Blood was laid;
That Blood which centuries ago
Was for my ransom paid;
And half in love, and half in fear
seek for aid from thee,
Lest what l worship, wrapt in awe,
Should be profaned by me.
Wilt thou vouchsafe, as Fortress dear,
To guard those lips today?
Lessen my words of idle worth
And govern all 1 say;
Keep back the sharp and quick retort
That rises easily;
Soften my speech, with gentle art,
To sweetest charity.
Check thou the laugh or careless jest,
That others harsh may find;
Teach me the thoughtful words of
love,
That soothe the anxious mind,
Put far from me all proud replies,
And each deceitful tone,
So that my words at length may be
Faint echoes of thine own.
o Mother, thou art mine today,
BY more than double right;
A soul where Christ reposed must be
Most precious in thy sight;
And thou canst hardly think of me
From thy dear Son apart:
Then give me for my sinful self
A refuge in thy heart.

avoid motives of interest, natural af-
lection, effeminacy, baseness, or sloth
Man, how great soever he may be-
has no inherent right to the admirable
sacrifice implied by obedience. If he
aims at ruling over the will of others
solely to crafty the instincts of com.
handing them, he deserves only the
contempt that may result in scornful
resistance. He who has real self-re-
spect will not submit himself except
to God or for His sake.
We owe obedience to our parents
and to our temporal and spiritual
superiors. When they command what
is just, it is God that speaks, and it
is Him we obey. We should be care
full while obeying men to be ever at
the service of our Father in Heaven.
Did you not know" said the child
Jesus, that l should be engaged in
My Fathers affairs?"
From the moment that the will of
God is expressed by those who repre-
sent Him let no proud murmurs be
heard or critical judgments; for our
obedience should be humble.
Let no mental reservation or pre-
fences mar the effect of our obedi-
ence, which should be sincere.
Let us not bring into our obedience
a choice between what is agreeable
and what is not. 1t must be generous.
Let there be no hesitation or delays.
Our obedience should be prompt. 1t
should be cheerful, avoiding all COM
plants and excuses.
Taken all in all, it is doubtless hard
to obey perfectly, so many passions
circumvent the will, and impede it's
free oblation. But let us lovingly take
the hand of Jesus and Mary: they
will bring us along with them in the
road of perfect submission; and, to
make us walk the more steadily, they
will induce us to sing with joyful
hearts the victories of obedience. "The
obedient man will speak of vic
tories"
