THE KEY OF HEAVEN.

In an old Franciscan cloister, far away
in Germany,
Lay the Convent tailor dying; holy old
Lay-brother he.
Holy Brother Bonaventure, he had
labored long and we'll:
On his bed, amid his brethren, lay he
dying in his cell.
All the solemn prayers were uttered,
all the sacred rites were given;
Spake the dying from his pillow:
Bring to me my Key of Heaven"
key of Heaven? Call the Guardian!"
And the Father quickly came,
Bringing to the sinking friar an old
missal of that name.
Slow the dying head was shaken.
key of Heaven" Quick as
thought
Crucifix and Rule and Chaplet to the
monk in turn were brought
All in vain! The brethren marveled:
what could be the Key he
craved?
Surely such demand unusual was the
plea of one who raved.
Last uprose an aged friar, bowed ODE
dience left and right,
From a nook beside the fire brought
a something small and bright,
Brought it to the bed and placed it
where they saw it through their
tears.
Twas the needle of the tailor; where.
with he had wrought for years.
Ali, to see the dim eyes brighten!
Ali, to see the white lips smile!
Round the tool the chill hands tight:
ened, broken words he spoke
the while.
MANY years, old friend, we've labor
ed; every stitch | made with
thee
Was for Gods dear glory taken-foI
the blest Eternity.
''Now, when lifes last chords are
riven, blessed needle" soft he
cries,
"Thou shalt be my Key of Heaven
thou shalt ope my Paradise"
On the instant fled the spirit. Smil
ing in his waxen rest
Lay the Brother Bonayenture, with
the needle ON his breast.
And the monks around him kneeling
startled at such swift release,
Question with the deepest feeling
Doth he truly rest in peace?"
Brethren" prays the weeping Guard
ian, may his end to all be
given!
May the life-work of each friar be
indeed, his Key OF Heaven" =
st. ARth0ny'S Messenger.

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
A STRAIGHT LINE.

Robbie was working away at his
drawing lesson. Presently the teach,
er came around to see what progress
he was making.
Look here, Robbie she said, that
line isn't straight"
mo, it isn't quite straight, l know,
swered Robbie, "but | can fix that UP
later"
"a straight line never needs
Strengthening, said the teacher quiet
ly, as she turned away to look at the
work of another scholar.
That simple remark which the
teacher made set Robbie to thinking
"A straight line never needs straight
ening." How much better, then, to
make the line straight rather than to
draw crooked line, which would
have to be Strengthened afterward!
Besides, a line that has been partly
rubbed out and then made straight
never looks quite so well as line
which is drawn perfectly true and
straight the first time. So Robbie

would try to draw the straight lines
straight the first time.
A thing that has been done right
does not need to be done over again
When we speak the truth we do not
have to stop to correct what we have
said. Let us try to do and say things
in the right way the first time, and
we shall find that life is easier, and
we shall make far better progress
than when we do or say the wrong
thing first. Let us always remember
that straight line never needs
Strengthening"

THE PREACHING THEY NEED.

We do not refer particularly to the
preaching of the Catholic or nom Cath
Ollie missions. but to the preaching
needed by the masses of the people
every Sunday, every day, and in every
religious service where men are
brought into consideration of theil
duties to God. Why do preachers
preach, and why do men listen tt
preaching? For what do they go tt
the House of God? On the correct
answer to these questions may depend
the eternal interests of the human
soul.

legislative industry record Tuesday
afternoon. passing two bills on third
reading and passing 22 In commit

considering several measures which
we're later referred back to commit
tees for further revision.
Rep. Herbert II. Hofrman's bill

mary offered the chief bone OF con-
tention for the afternoon, and, after
a lengthy discussion. was re-referred
10 the committee on elections where,

remainder OF the session. When
the committee arose Rep. Hoffman
made one more desperate effort TO
save his measure, moving that the
recommendation to send II back be
not concurred In. He was able TO
muster but 10 votes in support OF
his motion. the opposition piling UP
a total of 20.
Two amendments to the liquor
laws received favorable considera-
ton In committee of the whole. al.
though one at least cannot escape a
hard fight when Il comes up for third
reading today. One, Rep. J. Frank

in dry" territory must make am.
davit that he or she is OF legal age
and is legally entitled to receive
such supplies. Railroad and ex
press companies are forbidden to re

afi,davit is presented. The other
liquor bill passed in committee was
that OF Rep. Seymour II. Person, OF
Lansing, and provides that brew
