A STRANGE COINCIDENCE.

In these days of steam and electric
ity the world is a very small place
after ALL Rather a trite saying, but
nevertheless true, and here is the
story During the maneuvers of the
Japanese army, three years ago, there
came to Father Sauret, the missionary
at Kurume, a captain of infantry
whose residence is located at Omuta
He told the missionary that he had
been baptized at Toxic when little
boy, but had forgotten all he ever
knew about Christianity and wished
to be instructed and to become a
practical Catholic. In the course of
his visits he told Father Sauret that
he had become acquainted with a
French military attache during the
Russian war, and the example of the
young military officer had made a
deep impression upon him and had re
vived his interest in the religion of
his baptism.
In the course of an engagement at
Mukden the captain lost leg and
went to the hospital, losing sight of
his attache friend, who returned home
after the war was over. "While he
was telling me the story" says
Father Sauret, who should come to
see me but the very man of whom
the captain was speaking. What a
strange coincidence! After the war
one went to the East and the other
to the West, and yet here they meet
in my house. You can imagine how
joyous was the meeting.
"The captain, whose name is Yama-
shika, invited me to establish mis-
sion in Omuta He was an attractive
student and soon l had the happiness
of reconciling him to the Church. His
wife and children, too, have received
the grace of baptism and, through his
assistance and prestige, the mission OF
Omuta has been well established
During the past year | have baptized

the human heart needs no intercessor

"How do you know what the human
heart needs? Did you ever lift poor
wretch out of the mire of sin after he
had broken his good resolutions for the
hundredth time, put him on his feet
and bring him safe at last into his
Fathers house? The Catholic priest
is doing this every day of his life. Elk
perience tells him that there are num-
berless sinners who, after falling back
again and again into the most shame
full sins finally give way to despair.
All the arguments in the world will
not induce them to call once more
upon the God whose mercy they have
SO repeatedly abused. But the very
name of Mother is so expressive of
tenderness and pity, of forgiveness and
forgetfulness of the misdeeds of way

that sweet name, they raise their de-

that calls on Mary for help, with true
sorrow for his sins and a firm purpose
of amendment, is ever left unheard.

HOW ANTONIO SAVED THE KING.

Of course, you have heard of Fred
erick the Great, that wise king of
Prussia who was born two hundred
years ago. Perhaps you know, too,
that he greatly admired our own
General Washington, and in proof of
it sent him handsome sword, on
which was engraved: From the old
est general to the greatest"
But you may not have read of how
he helped a poor little italian boy,
and of how the poor boy was able to
repay the great kings kindness.
Frederick, although the ruler of a
great kingdom, never dressed very
well, and so it is not surprising that
when dirty, ragged little Antonio met
him walking on the terrace near the
river bank in Dresden he thought he
was very ordinary person, and new
er dreamed of his being king.
Antonio had great box filled with
dolls which he worked with strings
and made act quite like human be-
ings-'' marionettes" they were called.
| When he saw the king he ran up to
him and begged him to look at these
| dolls act. "You will be pleased with
them, | am sure" he said, "and | do
so want to earn some money to pay a
man l know to teach me to play the
futew
Would you like to learn to play
the flute?" asked the king. He had
longed to do that very thing when
he was a boy, but his cruel father
had been very angry one day when
he had found him playing, and had
broken the flute across the back of
the young prince.
above all things" answered An
tonic.
Come with me-" said this kind
hearted old gentleman, as Antonio
still thought him, land you shall have
a good teacher and fine flute of your
very own"
The poor lad could hardly speak foT
joy. But his new friend understood.
and patted him on the head as they
walked off together. He was put in
charge of the court music master.
who found he had great talent, and
after a while he played so well that
he was allowed to play before the
king.
The boy felt deepest gratitude to-
ward his kind benefactor, and prayed
constantly that he might at some flu
ture time prove his devotion to him.
One morning Antonio, getting up
very early and taking short cut
through the kitchen of the castle on
his way to the garden, saw one of the
cooks drop white powder in the cup
of chocolate meant for the king.
The little f1ute-player was Mortified
and ran to the king crying: 30 sire

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
WHAT SHALL | DO WITH MY
PENNY?

My grandma gave me a penny,
So pretty and bright and new,
And she said, Go spend it, darling,
Just as you wish to do"
You know it's so strange about grand
mas;
They are always so rich and so
kind,
They will give you pennies and pen
MES,
And never seem to mind.
If you ask your ma for penny,
She will hold up her hands this way,
And say: "My dear! I'm not made of
pennies;
You had one yesterday"
But grandma will give you plenty,
And tell you to spend them, too;
And that is what puzzles me just
now;
l don't know what to do.
Of things you can buy for a penny
| do not need any at all;
| have a new hat for my dolly,
Some jacks, and a bouncing ball.
And l have been thinking and think
ing,
Since l went to the Mission Band,
Of the poor little heather children
In that PARKWAY, heather land.
They never have beautiful playthings;
And when their hearts are sad,
They do not know of the Savior,
Whose love could make them glad.
So I'll send you, dear bright treasure
Through our own little Mission
Band,
Far out over the water,
Into the heather land
And perhaps, in that bright hereafter
Some little girl will say,
81 learned of the love of Jesus,
Through the penny you gave that
day."

SLAMS. The enemy. however, retreatted
again, and this winter campaign
brought no result, because King
Charles could not get the Russians to
stand.
Napoleon counted on the aid OF
winter in his campaign in 1906. But
the weather was against him. Decem-
Der of that year>left the roads as soft
as they had been in the fall, and the
French were obliged TO quarter them
selves upon the Poles and wait for cold
weather. Frost finally came on FEB
ruary /, and six days later the battle
at Prussian-Eylau was fought. Napo-
leon, as well as King Charles, ayalled
himself Of the opportunity offered by
harder roads and frozen rivers.
As Carl Bleibtrau in his work on
the campaign Of Napoleon in Russia IN
1912 has shown. it was not the cold
that demanded the greatest sacrifices
in human lives. Napoleon lost 2OO,OOO
men on his advance into Russia and
only 100000 on his retreat. 1t was
also shown then that the Russians SUI
fered as much from the cold as did the
French. and that both armies were
hampered by the ice. Napoleon's re-
treat was due to shortage of powder,
only one-half Of the quantity though
available being on hand. The supply
service had failed altogether
