SHE MoTHERED FIVE.

She mothered five!
Night after night she watched a lit
tie bed,
Night after night she cooled a fever
ed head,
Day after day she guarded little feet,
Taught little minds the dangers of
the street;
Taught little lips to utter simple
prayers,
Whispered strength that some day
would be theirs,
And trained them all to use it as
they should.
She gave her babies to the nations
good.
She mothered five!
She gave her beauty-from her
cheeks let fade
The roses blushes-to her mothers
trade.
She saw the wrinkles furroWing her
brow,
Yet, smiling, said, my boy grows
stronger now"
When pleasure called, she turned
away and said:
81 dare not leave my babies to be
fed
BY strangers hands; besides, they
are so small,
l must be near them when they
CALI
She mothered five!
Night after night they sat about her
knee
And heard her tell of what some day
would be.
From her they learned that in the
world outside
Are cruelty and vice and selfishness
and pride;
From her they learned the wrongs
they ought to shun,
What things to love, that work must
still be done.
She led them through the labyrinth
of youth
And brought five men and women up
| to truth.
She mOthered five!
Her name may be unknown to the
few,
OF her the outside world but little
| knew;
But somewhere five are treading
virtues ways,
Serving the world and Frightening
it's days;
Somewhere are five, who, tempted
stand upright,
Clinging to honor, keeping memory
bright;
Somewhere this mother tolls and is
| alive.
| No more as one, but in the breasts
of five.

THE "cHAINED BIBLE"

Some ignorant non-Catholics make
it one of their great grievances
against the Catholic Church that in
the Middle Ages she chained the
Bible" If they only knew it this
practice is more to the credit of the
Catholic Church than otherwise. The
Church did not chain the Bible so that
it could not be opened, but it chained
the Holy Book in public places, and
churches, so that it might be read,
but not stolen. In the Middle Ages
Bibles were dear and scarce, and for
sufficiently good reason. Only a
few rich people could afford to have
one, and oftentimes a monk spent his
whole life in copying and Illuminating
single volume. Bibles, before the in
vention of printing, had to be copied
by hand, word by word. They were
often beautifully adorned and illumi-
mated, and splendidly bound, for Cath
olics knew how to honor the Bible
in those days. They were extremely
valuable, and it was therefore prudent
to see that they were not at the mercy
of thieves. The public copies were
therefore secured, just as cup is
chained to a drinking-fountain nova
days, or city directory is fastened to
a desk in a city drugstore. But in
spite of all explanation the Church will
be abused for the Chained Bible" by
ignorant Professionals who do not want
to be told the truth. There is none
so blind as he who will not see.

it was that the manager discovered
me, and l discovered another boss.
When the manager fitted hence,
was Johnny on the spot, l was again
elected, and then / found that the
manager wasn't the real boss, because
the president of our company was the
man who did what was what.
1T was good long wait, but the
time came when the company needed
a new president. l had been with the
company longer than anyone else, and
the directors suspected that l knew
more about the business than anyone
else, and / was elected president, at
last, and 1 imagined that was a
genuine boss. But my dream hasn't
come true, and I am not a real boss
yet. ] am bossed by every one of the
fifteen directors, and | am blamed and
cussed, at times, by every one of our
$4,000 customers.
In this mortal vale of tears, from
the time we are born until we are
dead, we find, no matter where we
work or what position we hold, that
there is always some one just ahead.
Sometimes / think that the man at
the top is no better off, he pays the
price for place and power, he doesn't
work from s to 5, but punches the
time clock every hour. He has hun
dred bosses now where formerly he
had but one, if he makes mistakes they
cost him dear, and good excuse will
helm him none"

THERE'S ALWAYS A BOSS.

Here is little confession, made by
man who now draws a salary made
up of five figures. when | came into

push broom, run errands and do as
many other things as could find time
to do between i'll the morning and
s in the evening, and | pulled down
So every week: but wasn't exactly
happy, must confess. You see, the
fellow over me would scold me fierce,
and he seemed to make it his business
to keep me jumping. How l longed
for the happy day that I'd be able
to hold his job. Well, time rolled on
as it always does, an one day my am
bition was gratified
Il had his job and l had his pay,
and also another point of view. The
chief clerk was now my boss, a
grouchy cuss with frowning face. and
I had my troubles good and plenty.
But | stayed around. and after a
while became the chief clerk. Then

A COMPLETE VICTORY.

A quaint, lowered paper covered the
walls; fine pieces of old mahogany
stood here and there; slender-legged
table that he could have sworn be-

Bits of old china caught his eyes upon
the chimneypiece; over it hung

He heard them coming laughing

his lips setting tightly. His eyes
fixed themselves on the fire, and Rich

come out, sir?" before the guest pulled
himself together and, With the neces-
sary aid of his grandson's arm, limp

Such a dinner! And such table
for that was what first demanded the
grudging attention of the guest.

white plates and cups and saucers

have likened our own country to the
position of Belgium-have said, in
substance, that this country lay in the
direct path of danger because it is I'M
prepared. There are 100000
people in Belgium. In the United
States there are 10000, 900 and more.
Watch out. You'll suffer like her.

tic on one side and the Pacific on the
other, and not a solitary nation hating
us, the comparison is ridiculous"
Then, referring to Mexico. he said:
when our administration went
into office, it was confronted by the
situation in Mexico. In two years and
more there was not single day that
this country could not have gone to
war with this southern neighbor.
There was not one day that some per-
son or other, with property interests
and financial investments to protect,
did not urge us to enter into conflict

the only course we should pursue.
