TO MAKE CONVERTS.

Two things we all can do to make
converts:
1. Lead truly Catholic lives so that
our neighbors will see our religion in
action.
2. Spread Catholic books and news
papers among Professionals. Six cop
les of plain Facts for Fair Minds or
of Cardinal Gibbons THE Faith of
Our Fathers" can be bought and
mailed to six persons in any part of
the country for 81. Branches of the
Catholic Truth Society should be
started in every village and city, so
that members could give regularly 10
cents, % cents, SO cents or 81 month
to the good work of circulating such
books as these.
Many of our Protestant friends are
kept out of the Church merely for
want of knowledge of it. If they only
knew it as it is, instead of as it has
been enormously represented to them,
they would join it today.
Every Catholic should take to heart
the duty that rests on him to propa.
gate the faith.

SACRED MEMORIES.

Dear Mother-eyes
That watched while other eyes were
closed in sleep,
That DER my sliding steps were wont
to weep
Are We now looking from the
starry skies,
With clearer spirit-vision, love more
deep,
Undimmed by tears, while my vigil
keep.
Dear Mother-eyes?
Dear Netherlands
That toiled when other hands mac
tive were;
That, clasping mine, constrained me
oft to prayer,
For grace to run the way of Gods
commands
Are We now resting, or in realms
more fair
Still find We some sweet mode to min
lister;
Dear netherlands?
Dear Mother-heart
That felt the good where others
found the i'll;
That loathed the sin, yet loved the
sinner still,
And charmed his soul to choose the
better part:
Farewell; a moments fleeing space
until
God re-unites us when it be His will;
Dear Mother-heart.

should by all means make a last
will No man should rely too much
on the good judgment and fairness
of those who survive him for an
equitable disposition of his property.
They, too, may neglect it, or be taken
away suddenly by death. You GER
tainly have heard of many family
feuds and quarrels which resulted
from the parents neglect to make a
Will
Arrange this important matter in
due time During your last illness
you will need all your time to think
of your soul; don't deprive it of those
precious moments by being annoyed
about the disposal of your earthly
possessions. Don't make it necessary
for your children to withdraw their
attention from you, in their worry
concerning your neglect to adjust
such matters earlier. Do not be I'M
necessarily disturbed by the visits of
lawyers or the conflicting counsels of
prospective legatees. You will rest
more quietly, die more easily and
happily, if you draw up sensible
and just testament at the time when
your head is cool.
Remember that the best part of you
lives on after death. You may stand
in greater need of assistance beyond
the grave than the poorest of the
poor here, so do not forget yourself.
Charity begins at home An ex-
pensive coffin, costly monument, will
not benefit you. Set aside some dol
lars to have Masses offered for your
SOUL Let the amount bear some pro-
portion to the money you have spent
foolishly and for which your soul may
have to suffer.
Be convinced of the truth of the
saying: who giveth to the poor,
lendeth to the Lord" Who pays big
interest. Remember religious or char.
liable institutions, or donate to your
parish church some article it stands
in need Of The great Cardinal Man
ming used to say: "A will, in which
God is not remembered, is bad will. .
Nothing is more true, for the author
of such will makes no recognition
of his Indebtedness to the Almighty
for all that he is able to leave behind
he shows himself to have an migrate
full heart and cheats his own soul.
How is God remembered? By a be-
quest to any laudable work, particu
larly to any work fostered by religion
Moreover, by leaving something tC
such cause parents will be more
sure to obtain Gods blessing on the
inheritance they leave their children
Such blessing ought to follow every
inheritance, for we know how money
becomes means of ruin to many
people.

ON MAKING THE LAST WILL.

When should a person make his last
will? Surely not when he is lying on
his bed of death, tormented by pain
and little fitted to exercise good judg-
ment; not after he has become in
censed or angry with one whom he
intended to make a BENEFICIARY, and
never in a hasty manner. The will
should be made at a time when the
person, unannoyed and uncontrolled
by passion, can execute a testament
wherein he will dispose of his belong
ings intelligently and justly. The
appropriate time is when in good,
sound health. Many wills are prepared
hastily; they are made or altered
after the testator has had falling
out with one or other of the intended
legatees. Now, whereas parents
might and should show preferences at
times for certain of their children,
they should never draw up will when
they are angry or worked up over
some unpleasant occurrence.
Children who distinguish them
selves by obedience, fidelity and in
dustry, who aid regularly in support
ing the family, who have good habits,
and who know what to do with money,
should be better remembered than
those who would be made worse off on
account of an inheritance; such as
the lazy, INDECENT young, the drinker,
gambler or spendthrift.
Parents should make provision par
ticularly for those of their children
who may be sickly, deformed or Grip
pied, or who are not fitted for self
supporting position. They should
apply the principle that God Himself
means to give according to their
children's deserts or merits. Some
times a son or daughter who has met
with trouble or misfortune of some
kind may be greatly assisted by time
ly relief from the parents. He. of
course, must not feel that an injus-
tice is done him if the father or
mother take such assistance in ac-
count when drawing up hissor her will.
Those who will have some of the
worlds goods to leave behind them

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
FREDA's FRANkNEss.

81 like genuineness above everything
else" Freda spoke with emphasis and
a nod of her pretty auburn head. 1T
does seem to me the one most unfor-
givable thing-to be trying to pass
yourself off for more than you're real
ly worth
What's up now, Freda?" inquired
her brother Jack. Who's been sham
ming, and what made her do it, and all
the rest?"
Jack simulated look of intense in
terest and curiosity as he bent over
his sister, his boyish face close to
hers.
"Oh, nothing very special, Jack, "
Freda said, smilingly. Il was talking
more in general, / suppose. And yet,
was thinking particularly of one of
the girls, too"
Naming no Names" ,interpolated
Jack
We'll, it's nobody you'd be interest
ed in, anyway" Freda replied. she's
a nice girl in ever so many ways, but
she doesn't always ring. true"
Freda paused rather complacently
as if she liked the phrase she had
chosen.
They live away over on the south
side, and her father is a clerk in a
little store there, but to hear her tell
ing of her trips to the seashore and
automobile rides you would suppose
they were in affluent circumstances. 2
"Ahem!" said Jack, and what does
that word mean?"
You know perfectly WE'LL said
Freda, with dignity. Il suppose some
body must have taken her out for a
ride some time, for she never in the
world would get chance to go in
a car of her own. Now, I'd respect
her twice as much if she'd just be
frank and say right out what a treat
it was to be taken for a ride
Il like frankness myself" Jack said
seriously, 81 don't know who you're
talking about, but if she's trying to
fool people into thinking she's worth
more than she is, don't like her any
more than you do"
"Tm nothing if not frank" Freda

THE DISSATISFIED MAN.

You are not altogether satisfied
with yourself, with others, with your
environments, with conditions No
body is satisfied. Neither you nor
anybody else will ever be completely
satisfied. Full satisfaction leads to
stagnation. The satisfied man is a
fool, intoxicated with his own salts
faction, never sober enough to do
more than stagger along the road of
life.
The complete optimist is no better
than the contented pig in the we'll
kept sty.
Regulated dissatisfaction, dissatis-
faction based upon fact, is forerm-
ner of success.
There is, however, a wide gulf be-
tween legitimate dissatisfaction and
that which consumes the chronic COM
palmer, the disreputable knocker, and
the everlasting kicker.
Life is made up of alternatives and
negatives. One without the other is
incomplete The two properly
blended are part of the composition
of success.
The habitual complainer is an
enemy to himself, and he is despised
by all with whom he comes in con-
tact. He is failure at the start, and
will be a failure as long as he in
dulges in chronic dissatisfaction.
Conversely, the complete optimist
-
ace to society, because he does not
know enough to get out of the
ruts or to keep from stumbling into
holes
Dissatisfaction has a value only
when it spurs one on to better effort.
When it deadens ones faculties, as
ii often does, and takes the gimp out
of him, so to speak, it is an evil of the
most virulent form.
Nobody likes the constant COM
palmer. He has no friends. He does
not occupy any position of response
bility, and he never will. He cannot
manage himself or command others.
He has no respect for himself and
nobody respects him. He is no better
than dead log floating on the stream,
accomplishing nothing and serving
only as a menace to navigation.
Everybody has troubles, and while
every decent man is willing to help
others, he cannot afford to give more
than a part of his time to listening
to complaints, and he should not give
any of his time to those which are not
legitimate ones and which he cannot
assist in remedying.
Keep your troubles to yourself OF
confine them to your immediate
friends. Ninety per cent of trouble
doesn't appear, 1t exists wholly in
the mind
Don't make a speciality of worry.
ing There is real trouble to worry
about. and enough. to keep you busy.
Kick when there is something real
to kick at. You will strain yourself
and sprain your leg if you kick at
nothing. Catholic Columbian.

for a moment the silence was intense.
Then flood of taunts and jeers were
loosened that caused Conway to writhe
upon the bench in agony.
|. But this reviling worked with diff
ferent effect upon the half-wit With
determined step he continued his way
to the plate, and setting his dilapi-
dated cap firmly on his head, he
reached over and rubbed his hands in
the dust AS he Strengthened up, he
returned the pitchers sneering smile
with glare of defiance.
He made no outward manifestation
of the seething fury that bubbled
within him. All of the tapnts and
jeers that had been hurled at him
the past several years seemed now
to pour over him in deluging flood.
and now but one purpose filed his
revenge and to show these sneering
people that he was still of some use.
Here's one for you, Dippy. See
what you can do with it!
The pitcher sent this taunt up to
the waiting batter a second before
the ball left his hand. Joe made no
reply. Shutting out the maddening
catcalls of the crowd, he stepped in
TO the first ball pitched, tempting
outdrop, and throwing into his swing
all the venom stored up in him, met
the unoffending ball on the trademark.
With the report of a shot the ball,
streak of white, made its unerring
way toward the distant fence, far over
the heads of the scrambling fielders,
over the fence and out into the street
beyond, while Joe Manners circled the
bases like champion Splinter.
The tumult that burst forth from
| the amazing fans at sight of this mar
yelous feat overshadowed completely
| in its volume all previous demonstra-
TONS 1t was Well-nigh indescribable.
Even the loyal fans of st. Patrick, not
quite recovered from the shock Of
seeing victory snatched so ruthlessly
from their eager grasp, joined in
giving expression to their admiration
of this stupendous hit. The fact that
the erstwhile despised and ridiculed
half-wit was instrumental in causing
victory to perch on the banners of
St Andrew, when all hope seemed to
have fed, magnifed the deed; and the
fans were not slow in giving voice
| to their appreciation.
One celebrant went about, with hat
| in hand, in which he himself had
made an ample monetary deposit, and
besought his rejoicing companions to
do likewise. This they did with the
same spontaneous good humor with
which they showered their plaudits
upon the hero of the occasion
Around the field that worthy was
being borne aloft on the shoulders of
the sturdy St Andrew players, and he
was almost sick with happiness On
home plate the collection was handed
| to him with suitable speech of pres
entation. He clutched it to himself
greedily, and with eyes that spoke
volumes, sped through the gates, up
the street, and towards the miserable
howell he called home. to lay before
his beloved aunt and the fruits of the
most eventful day in his narrow and
poor life.

CARE OF THE EYES.

An oculist gives the following ex-
cellent advice about the eyes: Keep
a shade over your lamp or gas
burner. Never read or sew imme-
diately in front of the light of the
window or door; it is best, if possible,
always to let the light fall obliquely
over the left shoulder. Never sleep
SO that on the first awakening the
light from the window falls upon the
eyes. Never begin to sew, read, or
write, until a few minutes after COM
ing from darkness into light. Do not
use your eyes by light so poor that
it requires an effort to tell whether
it is twilight or only cloudy or
foggy day. Finally, the moment you
feel that you want to rub your eyes,
stop using them. You have done
enough work with them for the time
being"

CAUGHT THE BUSINESS MEN
italian Organ Grinder Would Seem to
Have knack of Knowing Just
How to Please Hearers.

Some Of the greatest men Of past
ages have to thank their knack OF do
ing the right thing at the right time
for their prominence in the annals of
posterity. -''
Gutenberg disclosed his newly in
vented movable type to a handful OF
men who were In great need of a
medium to disseminate royal edicts
on a grand scale. Thus the art OF
printing received a better start than
it might otherwise have enjoyed.
Franklin outlined the possibilities Of
electricity to an organization of men
searching for just such force. lts
triumph was of course assured.
Giuseppe Gorolotta-name fictitious
who pilots a barrel organ through
Main street has the same knack of do
ing the right thing at the right time,
says the Buffalo News.
When the first reports Of the tor
pedoing of the Lusitania were pub
lished, Giuseppe chose as the psyche
logical time to play "The Star Span.
gled Banner" within hearing of all the
office windows on Main street. The
unusual appeal depleted half the vaca'
ton funds in the business section.
The knack that made other men
great will make Giuseppe rich.
