A HOLIDAY INCIDENT.

Sometimes there will come to our
notice in the busiest moments of the
day some sincere sentiment which will
stir the tenderest chords of our being.
A pleasant faced women boarded a
trolley-car with her two small sons
during the busy noon hour of the holt
day season. The smaller boy sat with
his mother on one side of the car,
while the older, who was about four
years old, took seat opposite. 1t in
terested him to look out of the win
dow, but frequently he glanced across
at his mother. At length he called
softly, "Mother!" No answer. Again
he spoke: "Mother!" This time it was
said a bit louder, and the mother
looked over and smiled. The boy s
eyes lighted, and he whispered:
Mother! 1 love YOU The mother
turned a glorified face upon her small
son, and men and women in the car
looked tenderly from one to the other.
The trolley-car had suddenly become
a place of blessing because little boy
had voiced this ever beautiful senti-
ment: Mother! love you"

ECONOMY OF LABOR IN THE
HOME.

It is not always the hardest worker
that accomplishes the most; it is the
one who plans judiciously and exc
cutes with the least waste of energy.
There is a homely proverb that
says: Make your head do the work
of your heels" There is a deal of
sound sense in it, and comfort, too
if one will but follow it up, for it
doesn't hurt the head and it does rest
the heels.
my landlady," said an intelligent
observer, "is constant object lesson
to me in the waste of energy. She
comes up to my room and then re-
members that she needs the brush
and dust pan; she returns with them,
only to recollect that this is the day
for taking up the ashes; she goes
down again for the scuttle and forgets
her buster. A third trip down and up
exhausts body and soul, and she re-
marks pleasantly that housekeeping
is dogs life!'"
So it is when one manages this
way. But if she had taken thought to
provide brush, dust pan, scuttle and
cloth before starting knowing that
they would all be needed, she would
have saved three toilsome journeys up
the stairs and economical strength,
time and patience. Why didn't she?
Because she habitually puts hard work
and not thought into her housekeep-
ing.
Train the family to save your steps.
A too unselfish mother makes selfish
children. One who habitually picks
up after her household fritters away
her energy and does positive harm
to those she would help. Each child
should be required to keep his or her
things put away in their proper place
Orderliness saves labor. The assist
ance of the father may well come in
at this point to reinforce the mothers
authority. When he says, do this
to save your mother" and practices
what he breaches, it begins to be the
law of that household to be thought
full of the overtaxed one.
But suppose the family are oblivious
of the fact that she is overtaxed.
Shall she still require at their hands
service that is unwillingly rendered
Certainly. Children are often selfish
because they are thoughtless, and they
can never be trained in thoughtfulness

A LITTLE TALE OF TWO
BROTHERS.

The following story was found in a
magazine, yellow with age, which was
published in California, in the year
1860, in the month of July.
I'm helping others, we also help our
selves. A beautiful story is told of
two brothers travelling in Lapland,
which illustrates this truth more than
whole volumes of aphorisms.
ut was a bitter, freezing day, and
they were travelling in a sledge.
wrapped in furs from head to foot
but Notwithstanding this, they were
almost frozen in the fearful cold
'By the wayside they discovered a
poor traveller benumbed and perishing
in the snow.
. " Let us stop and help him. said one
of the brothers, we may save his life.
eyes, and lose our own replied the
other. Are we not ourselves freezing
in the cold? None but a fool would
think of stopping on such a day as
this! l would not throw off my cloak
of fur to save hundred travelers!'
"T am freezing as we'll as you,' said
his brother, but l cannot see this
stranger perish, l must go to help
him.
"He was good as his word. He went
to his relief, chafed his temples and
gave him wine from his bottle to drink
The effort that he made brought
warmth to his own limbs, and he took
the traveller on his back and bore hin
to the sledge.
Brother he said, Look! l have
saved this strangers life-and also,
verify believe, my own. am quite
warm from the effort have made
but his brother did not answer He
was sitting upright in his furs on the
sledge, cold and dead"

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
THE FAIRIES BEDTIME.

The night time is the fairies day,
The big Moon watches while they play
If you should leave your bed some
night
And follow where her lamps alight,
You'd hear the elfin songs they sing
And see them dancing in ring.
But little fays at dawn take fight,
The daytime is the fairies night.
Each seeks a flower for his bed
And pulls his nightcap DER his head.
No-not one fairy dares to peep.
The big Sun watches while they sleep!

ARE CATHOLICS STUPID?

For a publicist who is not Gas yeti
a member of the Church, Mr.. Gilbert
X. Chesterton is doing about as effec-
tive work in Catholic apologetics as
any writer whom we can at present
recall. The disgruntled Mr.. Dell, hav-
ing stated that "a man becoming a
Catholic leaves his responsibility on
the threshold and is converted to be
saved the trouble of thinking" Mr..
Chesterton declares that the asser-
ton constitutes "a very thoughtless
and threadbare argument" Continu-
ing in this enthusiastically Chester
tonian style, he says:
Mr.. Dell mist know better. He
must know whether men like Newman
and Brunetiere left off thinking when
they Joined the Roman Church. More
over, because he is man of lucid
and active mind, he must know that
the whole phrase about being saved
the trouble of thinking is boyish
fallacy. Euclid does not save geo.
metricians the trouble of thinking
when he insists on absolute defni-
tions and unalterable axioms. On the
contrary, he gives them the great
trouble of thinking logically. The
dogma of the Church limits thought
about as much as the dogma of the
solar system limits physical science.
1t is not an arrest of thought, but
a fertile basis and constant provoca-
ton of thought. But, of course, Mr..
Dell really knows this as well as l
do. He has merely fallen back Tin
that mixture of fatigue and hurry in
which all fads are made) upon some
journalistic phrases. He can not
really think that men joined the most
fighting army upon earth merely to
find rest. 1t is on a par with the
old Protestant fiction that monks de-
cided to be ascetic because they
wanted to be luxurious. l should
keep out of a monastery for exactly
the same motives that prevent me
from going into the mountains to
shoot bears. l am not active enough
for monastery.
1t will be seen from the foregoing
that as usual, the paradoxical non
Catholic apologist of the Church quite
covers the case. If Mr.. Dell has moi
lost the capacity for blushing, he
should blush for the assertions which
Mr.. Chesterton has shown to be sc
ridiculous.-~ Ape Maria

BE KIND.

A lady was passing down a street
in the suburbs of city, evidently
going to car. A calf in vacant lot
across the street had entangled it's
rope among the bushes, until about
all it could do was to send out it's
wall of distress. The lady looked at
her watch, at the calf, and in the
direction of the car track. Then she
fastened across the street and re-
leased the suffering animal. When
she returned l said, you missed your
car" mo matter" she replied, eff
had missed my opportunity to do
good to that little calf, l would have
heard that distressful cry all my life. "
Good deeds reflect both ways-to
the doer as we'll as the receiver. 1t
is our duty and should be our pleas
ure to do everything we can to help
the dumb animals, and in so doing
secure peace for ourselves, as well
as comfort for them.

WHAT A LITTLE CLOCK DID.

A little clock in a jewelers. window
in a certain Western town stopped one
day for half an hour at fifteen minutes
to nine. School children, noticing the
time, stopped to play; people hurrying
to the train, after look at the clock,
stopped to chat a minute with one an
other. And all were half an hour late,
because one small clock stopped.
Never had these people known how
much they depended on that clock un-
til it had led them astray.
You may think you have no inf1u-
ence, but you cannot go wrong in one
little act without leading others
astray.

Let us bear in mind this truth-that
on the bed of death, and in the day of
judgment, to have saved one soul will
be not only better than to have won a
kingdom, but will over-pay by an ex-

tolls of the longest and most toilsome
life.- Cardinal MGnnifag.
