TIE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
IN GossIPToWN.

Mrs. They-Say and Miss I-Hear
Reside in Gossiptown,
Where every day of every year
The people fret and frown.
Since from the earliest dawn of day
Till comes nights silent reign,
These persons two much mischief do
In street and square and lane.
They whisper here a word of blame,
And there some tale tell they;
With nod and smile, some ones good
name
They daily take away.
And in that place the whole year
through,
Let winds blow foul or fair,
Let skies be dull or bright and blue,
No joy or peace is there.
I'd hate to live in such town;
I'll shun it all my life.
In other words, on feuds I'll frown,
And guard myself from strife.

WHEN REPRIMANDlNG.

In one OF his exquisite essays
Robert Louis Stevenson tells OF an
inspectional visit he made in his
young days, when he assisted his
father in his work as a lighthouse
builder on the coast of Northern
Britain. The future writer came upon
men who had not been keeping their
reflectors in proper shape, and dirty
window-paneS were too common. At
one place he bent his brows upon
the keeper" in stern rebuke for some
sin of commission or omission in the
matter of lamps or panes, and after
wards when he went down to the
mans living-rooms he found him
making a coffin for his infant child.
Stevenson says that this discovery,
coupled with his reprimand, caused
him to feel "a keen pang of self-re-
proach" In other words, he said to
himself: Had I known of this sor-
row | would have admonished differ
emily" Had ! known" Longfel-
low says that IF we but knew the
tide of sorrow that surges through
every heart, we would forbear where
we condemn, and we would be kind
and forgiving where we are cruel and
retaliatory.'
Must we never reprimand or correct
the transgressor or the careless?
What will become of society and order
if the wrong is never challenged and
the right never demanded? The mis-
takes and offenseS of men must be
recognized and better things must be
required of them; but there are ways
and ways of doing this correcting.
Had he known he would not have
bent his brows so low upon the
mourner whose lamps were smoked.
Had he known he would perhaps have
spoken a calm word which would
have done more to prevent future
shortening than much bending OF
hrows Yes, the defects must be
pointed out; but not with acid speech
The mistake must be corrected; but
not with bitterness and hard words
lest we break where we ought tc
build, and discourage where we ought
to cheer and inspire. Few have
right to punish" says writer; al
have right to pardon" In any case
it is we'll to avoid haste in our re
provings, for sometimes, if we knew
all, we would advise more than ad
monish.

THE CHURCH AND LABOR.

Very Rev. John P. Chadwick, D. D.,
in the course of his address to four
thousand men and women, members
of about forty different labor unions
in the City of New York, assembled
in st. Patrick's Cathedral, Manhattan
for the annual "Labour Sunday" serv-
ices, said:
The Church of which you are mem
bers is not responsible for the hard
conditions under which labor groaned
and grieved despairingly. The present
capitalistic system by which the
masses have been exploited and pau
perized for the enrichment of the few
was not a development of her spirit
nor her history. In the Catholic days
of Europe before the so-called Reform
alton there was no such degradation of
labor and tyranny of capital as we see
today. In those days labor and CAPT
tai, workingman and master, worked
together to the best advantages of
each and with view to the dignity of
their work and the good of the COM
monwealth. Then the morality of our
Church caused both to be faithful to
what justice called for and compliant
to what charity required.
THE Catholic Church then says to
you, my good men, blessed be your
organization and keep true it's aims
and purposes. If in the days when
she ruled the civilization of the world,
she blessed your organization as
necessary protection against the greed
of human nature, which under other
circumstances might have manifested
itself at that time, she blesses you
doubly and trebly now when religion
was waned in it's influence over man
and commercial greed and lustful pas
sion and luxurious extravaganza are
characteristic of the day. She blesses
YOU in the name of religion, society
and humanity. She tells you to strug
gle for every legitimate right of body,
mind and soul. She warns you not be
deceived and beguiled by an evil
whose spirit she has often fought in
her long course and two thousand
years. She pleads with you not to
sacrifice your faith, your virtue, the
virtue of and care of your children,
your personal rights and liberties.
She found you when she first came
forth upon her mission slaves of the
State, and she warns you not to sell
your freedom to become the States
wards and dependents again. She APP
peals to you as free men and strong
men. She appeals for God'sSsake, for

THE SIGN OF THE ROSARY.

An autumn eve in Ireland, an open
cabin door,
And reverent figures kneeling upon
the earthen floor;
Ave Gratia Plena, and then Bene-
dicta Tu,
I heard the prayerful greeting, and
so the vision grew
Of a cottage home in Juda, and she
who was with child,
Bending in lowly homage before a
Maiden Mild.
Methought l heard adown the years
the Virgins wondrous song,
"The nations all shall call me blest
throughout the ages long,"
AS bright in midnight skies appears
the lightnings sudden CLEAN,
So suddenly the vision showed why
faithful hearts esteem
The beads-our Mothers blessed
beads that heretics depise-
Their solace in this vale of tears,
hope far beyond the skies.
The AYES heard in Irish homes, the
prophecy sublime,
Are linked by Faiths enduring chain
across the leagues of time.
They little heed the cultured scoff,
the critics thoughtless sneer,
They hail the Rosary a Sign, to them
the beads are dear,
'Tis writ the plain and simple shall
confound the wisest sage;
A grey-haired mother and her beads
rebukes creedless age.

IDAHO ELK
To Be Transported to a South

servs

Pierre, March 30. - Game Warden
Hedrick left today for Victor, ID. TO
receive a shipment of 25 elk for the
South Dakota Bills. The animals are
secured from the government in the
Yellowstone park. and local men in
that vicinity hunt them and capture
them at a reasonable charge. and the
only expense to the state will be for
transportation and the payment of the
men capturing the valuable animals.
The big area of the preserve, com
prising about so, 900 acres will all
eventually be fenced in but at present
a smaller presei We within that, has
been completely fenced with high
wire. South Dakota has had its or
der i'll for some time for the elk and
Hedrick feels the state is fortunate
TO get the animals in so inexpensive
a way. and at so early a date. This
elk will undoubtedly thrive we'll in
the surroundings, which will in con
siderable measur be similar TO wha'
they have been accustomed to in thu
Rockies.
Hedrick will personally supervise
the shipment Of the animals from ldaht
where they are to be delivered t.
him, TO Custer, and from that poin'
he expects tc bring thsm by wagon

Long-distance and underground transmission was
the most formidable scientific problem confronting
the telephone experts.
The ~retarding effect of toe earth on the telephone
current often impaired conversation through one
mile underground as much as through 100 miles
overhead. Overhead conversation had its distinct
limitation.
No possible improvement in the telephone
transmitter could of itself solve these difficulties.
The solution was only found in the cumulative
effect of improvement, great and small, in tele-
phone. transmmitter, line, cable, switchboard, and
every other piece of apparatus or plant required
in the transmission of speech.
While the limit of commercial overhead talking
had increased from strictly local TO over 1000
miles as early as 1898, it was not until 1905
