THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
THE LAND OF STORY BOOKS.

At evening, when the lamp is lit,
Around the fire my parents sit;
They sit at home and talk and sing,
And do not play at anything.
Now, with my little gun, | crawl
All in the dark along the wall,
And follow round the forest track
Away behind the sofa back.
There in the night where none can
spy,
All in my hunters camp / lie,
And play at books that have read,
Till it is time to go to bed
These are the hills, these the woods
These are my starry solitudes;
And there the river, by whose brink
The roaring lions come to drink.
see the others far away,
AS if in firelit camp they lay,
And |, like to an Indian scout,
Around their party prowled about.
So, when my mother comes to me,
Home I return across the sea,
And go to bed with backward looks
At my dear land of Story Books.

He paused. Henrietta was plainly
She was looking vacantly at her arm,
which had been bandaged and put into

loudly expostulated, glancing out of
the tail of his eye.
She mechanically transferred her
gaze from her arm to his face.
"They tell me that it was a woman
who saved Donald Marfarlane."
She started. He smiled-brilliantly
triumphantly.

Henrietta scarcely heard. Resent
ment muffled her ears.
When she again opened her eyes
the priest had melted into the shad-
ows. But, to her surprise, she found
lighted lantern at her side and a
bit Of paper pinned to her arm-sling.
1t took but a moment for her to tear
it off and read the note; which is to
say that it took only moment for the
stars to reblossom and culver in the
breezy blue sky.
This is what the shakily couched
message said:
Il don't know whether my times
come or not, but funny numbness is
creeping over me. So l want to thank
you while | can. You're the noblest
woman I've ever met. | don't know

The romance eliminated the follow

haired somebody performing the cere-
mony in a brand-new church of his
own, constructed, it is alleged, by Mac
| farlane capital.
Henrietta seldom reads novels of
short stories now, frankly confessing
that romance in life is infinitely more
enjoyable than in fiction, and being
again persuaded that writer's do not
know more than the A B C's of the
subject.
Every time Father Tom happens to
see her, there comes merry twinkle
to his bluish-gray eye. Possibly the
portly and kindly clergyman knows
more about the cultivation-and ex-
ploitation-of the flower of romance
than authors and Mrs. Donald Mac
farlane combined.

A KINDLY ACT.

Queen Wilhelmina of Holland tells
a delightful story about her mother,
Queen Emma.
The latter's husband, King William,
owned valuable porcelain tea serv-
ice, and he thought so much of it, that
he threatened to dismiss any servant
who should be unlucky enough to
break any part of it. One day a but
Ter, who had been in the royal service
for many years, had the misfortune to
smash one of the precious cups; and
in an agony of fear he went to Queen
Emma and told her what he had done.
Never mind" said her Majesty.
Stick the cup together with cement
and leave the rest to me-"
This was accordingly. done, and
when the royal family sat down to tea
the next day, the mended cup was
placed close by Queen Emma on the
table
Suddenly her Majesty turned hasti-
ly round to speak to the King, and, as
she did so, she swept the cup on to
the floor with her arm. AS it crashed
into dozen pieces, she pretended to
be deeply upset and said timidly to
the King: There, see what an awk-
ward servant l am! You will have to
dismiss me from your service"

brighter things would be for her, if
All we'll, this was not one of those
star-strewn nights with the maiden
moon laughing in at the window. So
she promptly closed the gate to that
avenue of thought.
Then something happened.
There was a tremendous explosion
up forward. The coach plunged ahead
with a crash and swayingly rebound
ed with a grind. Henrietta was
thrown from her chair to the floor.
Quiet reigned.
The nurse raised herself on her ell
bow and opened her lips for a good
scream when she observed that the
other travellers were, for the most
part, in the same outlandish position
as herself. Everybody looked so
queer, sprawling in the aisle or hang
ing at wonderful angles on the backs
of the seats-wide-eyed and open
mouthed-that an un-Christian i'm
pulse seized her to change her intend
ed scream to laugh. Hysteria is the
quaintest of comedians.
A basso from somewhere yelled a
unique rule of three: "Up-up-
quick!"
A dazed resurrection, all too slow,
ensued-pitiful, too, to Henrietta's
clearing senses. There were broken
arms in that crowd-they dangled or
trailed as their possessors unsteadily
labored down the aisle. The reign OF
amazement for the present excluded
pain.
The pale-faced man who had claim
ed Henrietta's attention now had a
better claim to it than before. He lay
in heap between two chairs, unable
to rise. Perhaps his leg was twisted
or he had swooned.
Henrietta was not injured. Hel
surprise was speedily routed by hel
well-schooled nerves and naturally
cool head. The moment it dawned or
her that there had been an accident
the hospital instinct to be useful tt
the injured leaped up within her. The
strip of mating was no longer bar
rier of convention. Disaster had brok
en- down the social amenities as effec
tually as it had damaged human limbs
Henrietta's first objective was the
heap between the chairs.
But right in front of her swayed {
stable creature in plum-colored vel

Denies Truth Of Rumor.
The following letter from Msgr.

explains itself:
Oberammergau, Oct. II, 1916.
Dear Mr.. Matre:
Your letter inquiring whether An
ton Lang, who played the part of
Christ in the Passion Play of Ober-
ammergau, died on the battlefield was
duly received In response wish to
state that Anton Lang is not dead, but
is enjoying good health and working
at his trade. He never was in the
war nor did he ever do military serv-
ice. OF the other principal performers
of the Passion Play l must say that
none of them are in war and all are
still among the living. The only death
have to report is that of Thomas
Rendl who died few days ago at the
advanced age of 78 years. Mr.. Rendl
played the part of Plate in 1890;
Peter in 1900. and Simon Of Bethany
in 1910. We are all we'll.
With best wishes to all my friends
in America, l am yours,
MSGR. JOSEPH SCHROEDER,

Division No. 1, Ancient Order of
Hibernians, Hennepin County, have
elected the following officers for the
ensuing year A goodly attendance
was had at the election, and the re-
ports of that Division showed it to
be one of the best in the county, quite
an opinion prevails amongst the
members of that division that some
publicity should be made towards
awakening the order in the state and
some effort made to get the younger
generation to join the order. The
Irish Standard heartily agrees with
them in this matter and we gladly
venture suggestion, that more news
be given The Irish Standard and
assist us in the matter of launching a
publicity campaign which will in
crease the organization by hundreds
all over the state. This is our aim,
but we need the assistance of every
oSoIC OAACCl, SOullty ONlCcI dAu cdCIl
and every division officer in the state
to successfully carry out this cam
paign. 1t is necessary to bring before
the young men and young women the
beauties of Hibernianism and that it
is their duty to preserve all the glor-
les of that ancient and noble race, but
The Irish Standard cannot do this if
the sires of all these hopefuls refuse
to subscribe for paper whose one
aim, hope and prayer is for the free
dom of our brethren across the At

POPE GREATLY DISCOURAGED

When he gave an audience on
Tuesday, says dispatch to the New
York Times, to Cardinal Bourne, the
only foreign Cardinal not Frencfmah
who came to Rome for the Consistory,
Pope Benedict spoke at great length
about the war, inquiring anxiously as
to the feeling of England. He ex-
pressed regret at learning that it
would be useless to start serious
peace movement now.
1t appears that Cardinal Bourne's s
views on this point were so strong
that his Holiness was convinced that
Germany's reported willingness to
make concessions would form an in
sufficient basis for negotiations, and
that any initiative taken by himself,
President Wilson, the King of Spain,
or the Queen of Holland, would be so
badly received as to impair the effect
OF their peace proifers at a more pro.
pitious time.
