tured and truest kingship achieved.
We see, now and then, men of the
humblest lineage, as the world reck-
ons such things, who mount to the
Hottest eminence from loWliest and
most obscure beginnings, and we see
all along, in the history of such men,
certain dominant aspirations, certain
clear convictions, faith and courage
and majesty of rectitude, which rule
and mold them from the beginning.
Such men, whatever their origin, seem
to be born of great truths and nur-
tured by grand ideals. In the womb
of these their intellects were nour-
ished, their wills disciplined and their
consciences enlightened. If we go
back to the mothers who bore them,
no matter in what humble station
they lived and toiled and nourished
their little ones, the same noble quail
tiles appear and these are the influ.
ences that rule and mould the man.
Such man, in whatever high station
he stands, is great and noble, because
lie is, most. of all, the son Of noble
beliefs and noble convictions.

She stands all by herself in lonely
place,
With gloomy look on her little face.

Now why has she issued this solemn
decree.
And why did the smiles and the sun.

Bend down, and I'll whisper word
in your ear,
It's clear case of sulks, very much

And unless Susan's mother tries some
way to cure her,
I'm afraid all her friends can no longer
endure her"
This morning, when Jessie won fair in
the game,
Miss Sue wanted her turn again just
the same.
But the others rebelled, and cried out,
"No, play fair
Sue stamped (think of that got as
cross as bear,
Took her hat, wouldn't play, and went

THE THREE BOXES.

Here's another version of the old
story of Rose-red and Snow-white-
an Oriental version which may be the
original of the more widely-known
fairy-tale:
In the Far East there lived a Won
derfully good man, who had much
money and wanted the world to share
it with him. He had three boxes
made for three different classes OF
people who came to him for assistance
For the scholars he had one filled
with gold. For the widows and or
phans he used the second box, which
he kept filled with silver, and the
third box was overflowing with cop
per for the general poor.
But this mans wife was not sc
liberal, and when her husband was
away, the poor came in vain to heI
door. One day the good man had to
leave his town to remain over night
and, unaware of his departure, the
beggars knocked as usual at his door
At first the wife refused them aid, but
when a big crowd assembled in the
street before her door, she grew
terrified at what her husband would
say we're he to find out, so she re
luctantly took the keys from the peg
and went to open the three boxes
From out the gold box frogs leaped;
the silver box she found full of ants
and when she opened the copper box
it was alive with vermin. Horrified
she ran to her chamber and locked
herself in till her husbands return.
why did you give me keys to
boxes of frogs, ants and vermin?" she
cried, when her husband seemed angry
at the crowded street next day.
81 gave you the right keys. l dc
not know what you have done with
them. Let me have your keys; l viii
try them
He took the keys and opened the
boxes and found everything just as he
had left it.
"Ah, dear wife, said he, "wher
you wished to give to the poor, your
heart was not in the gift. 1t is the
feeling that prompts rs to aid. not the
mere money, which is the chieI
] thing"

A THOUGHT FROM FATHER
RUSSELL.

The following beautiful advice has
been given by that great father of
souls, Father Russell, S. j.:
Let us strive to begin the New
Year not only with pure conscience
and fervent and humble determine
ton to save our souls at any cost, but
with an earnest wish and firm pur-
pose to spend each month and week
and day, as it passes, in such man.
ner that we shall be able to look back
upon them, not with remorse, but with
joy and gratitude, from that future
day God knows how far in front of
us it lies), that day of death which
shall be for us the New Years Day
of eternity. Fancy that you have
reached that day or the eve of that
day-fancy that you are lying on your
death-bed, and looking back on your
past life from your death-bed, and try
now to realize what shall be your
feelings and desires then; then when
we shall know better how perfectly
and fervently He merits to be served,
and how generously He will reward
through the endless day of eternity
each separate additional moment of
this fleeting time that is spent in His
service"

SELF-ENTERTAINED.

You must have had a rather tedi-
troubled you so,' said friend to a
young woman who had been disabled
for long time.
Yes, it was tedious enough in many
ways, but let me tell you what | did
on those days when had to stay in
the dark. l entertained myself be try
ing to recall everything knew. You'll
laugh at that, for you know well
enough that / hadn't so very much to
recall. l quoted all the poetry could
think of, verse and little extracts;
tried to think of events in history and
get them into some sort of order;
tried to recall stories, to think out all
l knew about everyday science;
thought over all the stories and pas
sages of worth I could possibly bring
to mind. | found that by exercising
my memory | could recall some things
l never should have thought of under
other circumstances. Truly, some
days | would get into such train of
thought that l forgot everything else
and had a really good time with my
mind"
Such testimony speaks volumes for
the value of something laid up in the
minds storehouse against rainy day.
In some forms of illness in certain
stages of convalescence, the mind
makes more trouble than does the
body it frets and chafeS, disturbing
physical conditions, cOnjuring up
troubles persistently. To be able to
send this troublesome member off
on pleasure excursions is to hasten
the day Of recovery, and is also to
insure one against the habit Of unrest
and worrying that sometimes follows
physical ailments.
In case of loneliness, or of waiting
times, unexpected and unprovided
for, the mind is often the most trou-
blesome factor in the situation. Have
something for that to do; then I'M
der the spell of very little will
power, the experience can be endured
without serious harm.
Fill the mind with good things, try
to form the habit of thinking over
what you have learned and observed,
of turning to the mind for enjoyment,
and you have a peacemaker always
threaten to make disturbance.

THE TRUE TEST.

You can laugh at the world-it's a
funny old world
You can laugh at the people you
You can laugh at the antics you see
on the street.
You can laugh at the one who is fuss
ing about,
Or the one who is taking a rest,
But with all of the topics that merri
ment make
Can you laugh at yourself? That's
the test.
And why are you not, may l ask, il
you please,
Legitimate subject for mirth?
You may be as funny in manner and
speech
AS any one else on the earth.
Give others a rest, for some people
object
If over their failings you smile.
And here is a subject you need not
offend,
So laugh at yourself for awhile.

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
%F l HAD KNOWN"

If | known in the morning
How YEARLY all the day
The words unkind
Would trouble my mind
| said when l went away,
had been more careful, darling,
Nor had given you needless pain;
But we vex "our own"
With look and tone
We may never never take back again
For though in the quiet evening
l may give you the kiss of peace,
Yet it might be
That never for me
The pain at the heart should ceasei
How many go forth in the morning
That never come at night!
And hearts have been broken
By harsh words spoken,
That sorrow can ne'er set right.
We have careful thought for the
stranger, n
And smiles for the sometime guest;
But oft for "our own"
The bitter tone,
Though we love "our own" the best
| All! lips with curse impotent.
All! brow with the look of scorn!
'Twere cruel fate,
We're the night too late,
To undo the work of the morn.

MOTHER.

Backward, turn backward, o Time in
Thy flight;
Make me child again, just for to-
night.
In what memory has not at some
time echoed the haunting refrain of
that sweet old song, bringing with it
maybe, the half-forgotten accents of a
voice long hushed and turning and
the light again to the tear-dimmed
pictures that have hung so long on
the walls of the past. And as the
wizard, Memory renews the scenes of
the long ago, how we long for the
touch of vanished hand and the
sound of voice that is still"
Though the frosts of many winters
have fallen upon our heads and Times
relentless fingers have craven their
records upon our faces, the burden of
the years falls away 'as a glance is
backward cast DER the well-remem-
bered forms that lie in the silence of
the past" In the center of every pic
ture, the light of every scene, there
stands forth one face and one form,
that of Mother" The source of
every good, the center of all the love
and consolation and blessing of child
hood, the inspiration of the vigorous
years of hopeful youth and of man
hoods time of achievement, the ten
der memory of life's autumn years, the
love of mother is born earliest, lives
longest and dies last
1t may be that we can thank God
that no word of ours ever added to her
burdens or caused her a heartache;
if so, even God Himself could give no
greater consolation to declining years.
But if remorse brings back the record
of cruel word or unloving act only
Gods forgiveness can wipe it out.
Though far may be- separated the
scenes of early years, though our
eyes may first have opened upon the
sun of the south or the SHOWS of the
north, we have in common the love
of home and mother. If she has gone
before, and is watching and waiting
our coming, let us place tenderly
where her dear dust lies the garlands
of our loving memories, dedicating to
her the white flower of purer living.
If her presence still adds it's light
to our lives let us not keep back the
flowers to place upon her tomb, but
give them into her living hands that
the tender grace of loving deeds may
brighten LIES afterglow as the shad.

THE INFIDEL.

The infidel sat in his great arm chair
With his child upon his knee
A dear little daughter with COLDER
hair,
And sweet as child can be.
But never smile on the rosy face,
Where the smile was wont to play
And the blue eyes filled with a sobel
grace,
Spellbound by thought that day
"Now, why is my daughter so gravt
and still?"
The infidel lightly said.
And the child made answer: 20
father, tell
What happens when we are dead.
The infidel looked at the fair youns
face
With a sudden thrill of pain,
AS he thought of the years coming OF
AS he thought "They are all il
vain.''
"Why do you ask such a question O
me?"
She only spoke it again.
1--WE are laid in the ground to rest,
said he;
And she gravely asked, "Wha
then?"
He spoke of an end that is only dust
And long, long rest from care;
But her eyes we're filled with a darl
distrust,
ooh, how can I love you there?"
And the round, blue eyes that scanned
Seemed to pierce him through ant
through;
And the dove that nestled against hi!
side
Seemed saying, 1T is not true
TT is not true!" said the hungry low
That out of the blue eyes shone,
While her pure young spirit began tt
move
With a strange faith all it's own.
Years passed, and he stood by an opeI
grave,
Where the child of his love was
laid;
He scoffed no more; he had ceased tt
rave;
For sorrow had bowed his head.
His thoughts went back to her child
hoods hour;
He seemed to see her again,
And hear the words with strange
new power,
"When we are dead-what then?'
The infidel sat in his great armchair
Alone in the silent room;
His face wore look like shade o
care,
His heart was oppressed will
gloom,
But he read a book till the dawn O.
morn,
And his heart was sad no more;
For out of his sorrow joy was born
He had never known before.
Then he said: Il know l shall SCI
my child,
When the long, long night is past
For the light of faith | have lont
denied a
Shines into my soul at last"
oh, thus could the IIeart-changed inf
del say
When his loving child was gone;
And scott no more from that blessed
day
At the truth of the Holy One.

AN ACCEPTABLE GIFT.

In the dusk of evening little
child entered city church and made
his way to the Crucifix. The agon-
lied Christ looked down on the up
lifted baby face that expressed such
sweet compassion, and on the baby
hands that held a few broken flow
ers. The little one reached up to the
pedestal, and with much difficulty,
and stretching of his tiny figure he
managed to place the flowers on the
wounded feet, so that the transfixing
spike was covered. Flowers for
God, poor God!" he said aloud, after
the manner of childhood, and bobbing
down in a queer little courtesy, he
went his way, his stout shoes clatter.

THE HORSE TO HIS MASTER.

am horse; you are man;
I've been your slave since l began,
And though I'm strong enough to
shake
My shackles Off and make break
For freedom that would lift the lid,
You've noticed that / never did.
By day and night I've worked for you
And done the best that could do;
And though l may not always like
Your methods, yet | never strike;
In heat and cold, in wet and dry
I'm always ready-glad to try
To do the very most 1 can
To satisfy my master, man.
Therefore, my master, if you please,
Consider such facts as these:
Say, don't you think it ought to be
Your pleasure to look out for me,
Ii for no other reason than
My great usefulness to man?
OF course, you might be worse,
know
You sometimes treat your own kind
so,
But I'm a Horse, and truer than
The man-slave to his master, man.
And, furthermore, my nature, is
Much more dependent than is his.
And as | trust you, Sir, you should
DO all you can to make it good.
Nor do | ask lot, | guess
To be a fairly fair success
Good food, good shelter, good care,
| think, is just about my share.
No other pay l ask-no touch
| make, but this! Is that too much?

DISTRACTION.

We bend our knee to say prayer;
Our thoughts will wander so
They always seem to stray just where
We wish they would not go.
We fix them on the heavens above
Alas! they all descend;
They soar aloft, swift as Il dove,
Then toward the earth they tend.
We raise the stricken, fallen dove,
Aud point its course ON high;
And know that our dear God of love
viii hear its helpless Cry.
He hears it. Yes; He hears our
prayer,
Tho weighted with earth's leaven.
He knows the poor hearts grief and
care
Will vanish but in Heaven.
