"Aber, what's that got 70 do with
Christmas?"' Birsky asked.
'.I'm coming to that" Zapp said.
"People are commencing to figure aver
ages on Christmas also. Take Miss J.
P. Morgan, and she figures that out Of
every million Christmas presents dis
played in stores certain percentage
of people buys something which they
couldn't afford and gives it to a GER
tain percentage Of people which amt
got no use for it at all. So she goes
to work and gets up a Society for the
Prevention Of Useless Giving, and con-
sequently certain percentage of dry
goods stores loses certain percentage
Of customers which formerly had q
rotten bank account and q good dis
position, and has now got a good bank
account and a rotten disposition"
"But Miss Morgan done this for a lot
Of salesladies which used to spend
their money SO foolishly at Christmas,
Zapp, that they had nothing left to
take a vacation with in the sumner

"That may be so. Blrsky," Zapp said,

goods concern didn't got half their
salesladies faint on 'em every night
for two weeks before Christmas, their
creditors would come down on them
and ask them to discount their bills.
Nowadays If o cash girl gets head
ache, that's big already"
Birsky nodded sadly.
"Christmas is dying out" he de-
clared. "The people is getting too
wise. 2app. It used to be that if you
wanted to push your stickers,-wheth-
er it was handkerchiefs, socks, neck
ties, oder gloves, all you had to do
was to wait till the first of December,
mark 'em up so per cent over the regu-
lar retail price for fresh goods, put
'em in red paper boxes, y'understand,
and your customers practically used
blackjacks Oh each other to get at the
counter where the goods was dis

"Still, in a way, it's good thing that
Christmas is more or less a thing Of
the past" Zapp said, because when
you tried to collect bill from some
body around Christmas time, it didn't
make no difference if he was retired
from business except for 10 per cent
interest in a bathing suit factory, he
would want you to wait till his Christ
mas rush was over. Also people didn't
give 70 orders because it was around
Christmas, Birsky, and just because it
was near Christmas and they claimed
they could use all the money they
could get, your creditors wanted you to
pay bills which you hardly knew you
owed on account Of not receiving the
second Iaonthly statement yet. Fur
thermore if you owned a tenement
house, you'd got difficulty collecting
the November rent because the ten
ants said it was so near Christmas, and
that's the way it went, Birsky. People
treated Christmas not as holiday, but
as an excuse. The wonder is it amt

'The wholesaler wouldn't miss it If
1t did," Birsky commented. believe
me, Zapp, for every child that lays

down to zero on him and stays that
way till week after his next spring
millinery opening. Can you blame such
a feller that he settles with his cred

listen, Zapp," Birsky said, "a 80
cent-or- -the-dollar feller could always
pin his bust-up on either q warm
Christmas, a cold Easter or an invalid
wife, whereas the figures show that
the average of real cold Christmases
amt 10 more than the average Of real
sick wives"
"Sure know, Birsky, but figuring
out the average is what has done the
most harm to poker, pinochle, the

things that former time people enjoyed

public accountant, Birsky, figure that
if 80 per cent of Christmas shoppers
followed Miss Morgan's advice, Birsky,
the drygoods stores would shut down
around Christmas, and all them sales
ladies would not only take vacation
in the summer time, but in the winter
time also; and then the question is,
how is them salesladies going to raise
money for their winter vacations?"
Miss Morgan would get up sub
scription maybe" Birsky suggested.
"Apd,the proceeds after the expenses
Of collection were deducted would sup
port twenty-three six hundredths Of

Zapp concluded, (which the trouble
with them people that figure out the
averages is that they don't consider
human beings as men and women, but
as fractions ausgereckoned to hum

thing to figure out the averages on
the percentages Of people that set off
fireworks and don't get burned, and
the percentage Of people that it
wouldn't do a bit of harm to if they
bought once in while for somebody a
present, useful or otherwise. In other
words, Birsky, if you're going to reck-
on up the averages on anything, the
best way is to figure how it will affect
one hundred one hundredths of the
people twelve months out Of the year,

BOOK BORROWERS DUTY.

Have you borrowed a book? Read
and return it. IL you cannot read it
soon, return it and trust to your be-
ing able to borrow it again. In keep
ing it an unreasonable time you may
be keeping some one else from the
pleasure reading it may afford.
Look over your shelves and see
what you have there that would be
returned. The man who should bor-
row so little as a quarter of dollar
from a neighbor and fail to return
it would not invite respect. Yet it is
quite as bad not to return a book or
magazine. Who has not had anguish
of heart to have some choice, dearly
priced volume returned, soiled or
torn, with pages lacking? That tom
upset his inkstand,s or "the baby got
hold of it," or similar excuse, does not
mend the matter. The borrowed book
should be protected from such acct
dents. What was worth borrowing is
certainly worth returning. Certainly
it should be clear in your mind that
it Is not yours but the property of an
other.

she cried, and Eileen, with smile,
handed her the package. Quickly the
wrapping was united, and the picture
held up in the narrow beam of sun

dark eyes of the girl shone like stars

MOVABLE cHAPELs ARE NEEDED.

There are very many Catholics who
are anxious to build a chapel in some
out of the way community, and their
wish is laudable one and one which
fulfilled will guarantee much spiritual
happiness to Catholics living in dis
stricts that are missionary in the full
lest sense of the word. But there is a
way of furnishing chapels not for one
mission but for many missions, and
that is by purchasing a missionary
Mass outfit for some missionary priest
who has to make his stations regu-
larly. These priests have missions
that extend over hundreds of miles.
To say Mass in each of these places
means that the priest has to pack
every article requisite for the celebra-
ton of the divine mysteries every time
he goes to a place. To forget even one
article means that either he can not
say Mass or that he has to return
back to his missionary headquarters
sometimes 20 or 80 miles-and obtain
the missing article. This, of course,
is great delay not only to the priest
but also to the congregation. Some
time ago the Catholic Church Exten-
sion Society solved this problem in a
very good way. A travelling suitcase
or portmanteau was devised contain
ing all the necessities for the celebra-
ton of the holy sacrifice of the Mass.
The missionary Mass outfit, for so it
has been. called, is in great demand
among mission priests. 1t answers a
want that the priest travelling through
the mountains of the West or the
swariips of the South often felt. These
missionaries have, with all the con-
Teniences that the society tries to send
them, very hard life, and, since these
outfits have proven a blessing to so
many priests and congregations, it is
the desire of the society to supply as
many missionaries as want the Mass
outfit. 1t contains the following ar
ticles: A chalice and paten, one pyx-
shaped ciborium, one reversible chas-
uble in white and red, one reversible
chasuble in purple and black; one
green chasuble, one linen alb, one
cincture, three amices, three chalice
cloths, two corporals, two pals, three
finger towels, one set of altar cloths,

THE INTERcEssoRY POWER OF
MARY.

Henry w. Longfellow, the great
American poet, had this to say of the
intercessory power of the Blessed Vir-
gin Mary:
This is indeed the Blessed Mary's
Land,
Virgin and Mother of our dear De-
ST deemer;
yAn hearts are touched and softened
at her name;
Alike the bandit with the bloody
hand,
The priest, the prince, the scholar
and the peasant,
The man of deeds, the visionary
dreamer,
Pay homage to her as one ever
present;
And even as children who have much
offended
A too indulgent father, in great
shame,
Penitent, yet not daring unattended
To go into his presence, at the gate,
Speak with their sister, and confiding
wait
Till she goes in before and intercedes;
So men, repenting of their evil deeds,
And yet not venturing rashly to draw
near
With their requests an angry fathers
ear,
Offer to. her their prayers and their
/ confession.
And she for them in heaven makes
( intercession.
And if our faith had given us nothing
more
Than this example of all Womanhood
So mild, so merciful, so strong, SO
good,
So patient, peaceful, loyal, loving
pure; 49,
This were enough to prove it higher
and truer,

tants travelling in remote corners of
the world to pay tribute to the Cath
Ollie priest whom they suddenly en-
counter amid surroundings that call
worth their wonder and admiration.
Praise of this kind for the Jesuits of
China comes from Captain III. f. Lind
ley in an essay entitled Religion in
China" published in the "Churchman
Magazine" London. He says:
81 cannot but admiringly record the
fact that however deeply one may
penetrate to, the interior of China
there will be found a Jesuit or traces
of him, where other sects of Chris
tianity are not, never have been and
never will be, unless, indeed, they go
to work in a different manner from
any procedure at present gpractfsed.
Many time have / been pleasantly
surprised at the out-oftheiW parts
in the far inland regions of the vast
Middle Kingdom by suddenly stumb-
ling upon a priest of Rome, with
shaven head, but wearing an orthodox
pigtail a. la Chinese, which, however,
usually somewhat scant and undigni-
ed. Dressed in: the costume of the
natives and speaking their difficult
language, regardless of exposure, per-
secution, danger and disease, these
Jealous men devote themselves to the
sacred objects of their calling with a
self-abnegation and heroism never sur
passed.
THE Jesuit gives his every thought
and energy to the work before him,
giving up kith, kindred and country
forever, to labor on among the heath
en- till such time as He who gave him
life shall take it back again. Truly
this martry-like sacrifice of self, in
it's glorious if passive devotion is sub
lime.' ssz-=zs.ea-
