Her mother would have answered,
but just then she heard a familiar step
on the walk, and looked up to see
Hugh. He held up small white box
as he neared the porch, and for the
first time in weeks there was touch
of his old self in his manner.
Carmel jumped up from the stool
and ran to meet her father.

He opened the box, and her eyes
fell on one of the loveliest little
rosaries that she had ever seen.
"A rosary, and it's gold! Look
mother!"

his smile went beyond Carmel to rest
on her mothers face. She, too, was
standing very near him now, and hel

Beautiful" she exclaimed.

THE ART OF RESTING.

ST. Jane Frances De Chantal was
blessed with rare gift OF holiness
and peace, the influence of which she
shed on every person with whom she
came in contact. To her sisters in re-
ligion she taught the art of transform
ing the mind and heart into a cell
for purpose of quiet communion with
God, to feel an absolute assurance OF
safety from doubt or worry, which is
the beginning of heaven while still on
earth.
Today cities are filled with near
wrecks of humanity who do not know
the meaning of quiet, to whom an
hours solitude is positive pain, and
whose influence is unsettling and un-
| wholesome wherever they are.
To rest seems quite simple. There
are plenty of people who do not have
to learn how at all, to whom resting
comes with a fine natural grace, as
do the arts of eating and sleeping.
| Those people are not all idlers either
| Perhaps the greatest workers of the
world, at any rate those who accom-
plish most, are the men and women
who can relax completely, even in the
midst of vast affairs, who keep in
their hearts an unwrinkled corner OF
serenity, who can snatch a moments
sleep between two great decisions
come out of it refreshed, and make
their decisions right.
But to many of us hurrying, hus
Ting, nervous Americans resting is one
of the lost arts. We rush from
work to so-called recreation and from
recreation back to work again. We
say that mere change rests us. So i
would, if we took it in the right spirit
but there is no rest when the eye il

and the days are too short for thu

Then, for some of us, comes thu
imperative order: you must rest
: and to our horror, we find that we d.
not know how. We try long hours o

you don't know what it means to
me to hear you talk like that, Hugh.
It's yes, it's the only way for us to
be happy" and she looked at him
through mist of happy tears.
Hugh had kept his word. He had
not attempted interference with Car
mel in the practice of her faith. In
stead, he had come to look upon her
mothers faith and hers as something
beautiful, something unlike anything
he had believed could exist in the
world. Prejudice and petty jealousy
1 were put aside to look for truth.
A year had passed. He had &C
companied Carmel and her mother to
Mass that Sunday morning in early
June, and finally, when the great
moment came, he, too, rose and knelt
at the altar-rail with them, for it was
his First Communion Day.
They had returned from Mass and
were sitting at the breakfast table
Carmel looked up from her plate.
/ Nov you know why your First
Communion Day is the happiest day
in your whole life, don't you, daddy
/ dear?"
The words were softly spoken, and
Eshe covered her father with bright
little smile
Hasn't this been a happy morn
ing?"
His eyes smiled into hers, and ther
went beyond her to rest on hel
mothers face.
{, "Yes," he answered, "A very happy
morning."

YARD STICKS.

One of the frailties of an average
being is the tendency to measure
others by too simple test. Some
judge person altogether by his dress.
Some condemn any man who drinks
and others condemn any man who
doesn't. We have heard in the south
the virtues of college president adj
mitted but the gentleman nevertheless
gently dismissed with the observation
that The warn't in the war;" Suffrage,
the negro question, the Church, may
be used as method of elimination.
But human nature is too complex for
such measure. The only fit judge of
his fellow men is he who is most
literal, elastic, tolerant, many-sided.
No yardstick will suffice.

costs nothing" such are its preserv-
ing qualities i'll damp climates. Well,
sunshine costs less, yet is finer pig
ment. And so of cheerfulness, or a
good temper, the more it is spent, the
more of it remains. The latent heat
of an ounce of wood or stone is in
exhaustible. You may rub the same
chip of pine to the point of kindling
a hundred times; and the power of
happiness of any soul is not to be
computed or drained.

The joy of the spirit indicates its
strength. All healthy things are
sweet-tempered. Genius works in
sport, and goodness smiles to the last;
and for that reason, that whoever sees
the law which distributes things does
not despond, but is animated to great
desires and endeavors. He who de
spends betrays that he has not seen

TWO CENT RATE
MUCH TOO LOW
Lovett Says Texas Rates
Causes Railroads in the
Southwest Trouble.

The freight rates in Texas are out
rageOusly low" declared Robert S.
Loyett, chairman of the board Of di-
rectOrs of the Union Pacific, at the
route from New York, to Riverside,
Calf
I can say this without fear Of the
accusation that I am biased" he con-
tinued, for am no longer Interested
in the Texas situation The rate stu
alton in Texas has been responsible for
much Of the trouble the southwestern
railroads have had, and there must be
higher rates if the roads that serve the
state are to prosper. And unless the
railroads prosper. the state will suffer.
Rates Too Low.
Rates in many OF the western states
are IN need Of adjustment Not that
rateskare too low on all commodities
for some rates are what they should
be. But there are some commodities on
which the rates are too low and these
should be raised In many western
states the 2-eent passenger fare is still
in effect. A 2-cent fare is too low.
The business Of the railroads has
been very good since last August How
long the condition will last is a Ques-
tiOn, but just at present the situation
is very encouraging. No one can look
very far ahead these days and would
not care to venture a prediction as to
the future. We are accepting the bust

OVERMAN STARTS Big

Child Labor Speech of North Carolina
Senator Meets Strong Opposition
from Northern Representatives.

Senator overman stirred up a small
tempest in teapot yesterday, when. in
his speech against the chnd-labor bill.
he declared that States having this legis-
lation show more children confined In the
jails than North Carolina
Representative Gallivan, of Massachu-
setts, which is credited with having 27s
juvenile delinquents confined in Jail for
every 1000 population. called on the
census bureau for the Official 1915 statis-
tics to disprove the charges of the SEN
ator from North Carolina.
Missouri and Rhode Island Representa-
tives also dispute the figures and will de-
fend their States on the floor of the
House
Those challenging the overman state
ment say that there Is not a uniform
system Of preparing these statistics and
that the contention that child labor reduces
crime is absurd. In their opinion, States
that have child-labor laws will show less
crime, more advanced education and bet
ter conditions generally than North
Carolina.
Senator Overman contends that the
child-labor law is a State Issue.

EPIDEMIC HERE
NOT. ALARMING
Heavy Total Due to Strict In
vestigation-Infantile Pa
ralysis Situation Better.

Over fifty new cases OF whooping
cough have been reported to the health
department since Saturday night, which
brings the total number of cases under
surveillance to nearly 1,400, as against
1856 cases a year ago.
Only twenty-five deaths have occurred
from the disease, however since the first
OF the year out of a total of about 1,650
cases reported.
Officials OF the health department ad-
nit that Washington is experiencing an
epidemic but refuse to see anything par
ticularly alarming in the situation. They
are inclined to believe that many of the
extra cases can be accounted for by the
| fact that the methods of investigation
are better and reveal many cases that
would have escaped observation in other
years.
| A fine of 800 imposed upon any per.
son who knowingly conceals a case OF
the disease is also responsible for more
| cases being reported than in the past
the officers believe.
The infantlle paralysis situation is
rapidly improving. A doctor who has

as infantile paralysis yesterday changed
his diagnosis and announced that the
