 He Couldn't Bear to Deprive Her
 of Him.
 At that the man was filled with compunction. He didn't really dis like the dog, just liked to relieve his mind of other irritations by finding fault about him. "Oh, no! dear,' he said, 1T couldn't bear to deprive you of him.
 Yet you can bear to deprive me of most of my pleasure in him. she said. I'm nervous all the time for fear he will do some little thing that you will be cross about. I'd love to keep him, but not unless you can be pleasant about it. If he really Eothers you so much that you cant, we'll get rid of him.
 They Decided to Meet Half Way.
 They didn't get rid of the dog. Instead they agreed to meet half way, ke to make an effort not to be care lessly irritable, she to be patient with him when he really was put out.
 How many people there are who make sacrifices and then nullify them because they can't be pleasant nEout them.

Finally we decided that there wasn't any sense in spoil ing our pleasure that way and so now We take turns both giving up and being pleasant about it.
 A wise philosophy, don't you think?

Once upon a time there was a man whose wife was very fond of dogs. The man did not love them but he aid not dislike them, and so he said he was willing his wife should have one and himself bought it for her.
 Which was a kind act whereby his wife was as much pleased as she was to have the dog
 But-and hereby hangs not only this tale but many others-having made a sacrifice, the man thought he had done his whole duty. He did not think he needed to be pleasant a abOut it.

 Whenever the dog made any trouble, ate a neighbours ovcrshoes or parked to come in, the man con- sidered that an opportunity for him to scOld about what a nuisance it didn't have to bear the brunt of the trouble. His wife always did that, because she loved the dog and was willing to. It was she who paid for the overshoes and got up to let Bruce in when he parked. Nevertheless, the man complained about the things in a fault-finding, irritable manner that cast a cloud over his wife s heart.
 Finally she surprised him. She said, John, I am going to sell Bruce"

A NOBLE NEGRO
PIERRE ToussAINT, ONCE
SLAVE, WAS NOTED FOR
HIS CHARITY.

In the recently published eighth vol
umc of the Historical Records and
Studies of the United States Catholic
Historical Society chapter is devoted
to an outline of Mission Work among
Colored Catholics" And incidentally
the story is told Of a noble negro, the
perusal Of whose life and work should
be a source of inspiration and good
to any man of any race or creed. The
story is that of Pierre Toussaint, who
came as slave from Santo Domingo
with his master and the masters wife,
fleeing from the revolution of August
1871. The master died on a return
trip to the island, and the widow
found herself in her new home with

He was an expert ladies' hair dresser
and soon became the fashionable

INDIAN MISSION WORK
DECISION OF COMPTROLLER OF
THE TREASURY DEPRIvES
CATHOLIC INDIAN SCHOOLS OF
$4,000 A YEAR.

Indian mission work has sustained
another stunning blow, administered
by the Comptroller of the United
States Treasury, George E. Downey.
The Indian Sentinel tells the story
in a way that leaves no doubt as to
where the responsibility rests.
The ChoctaWs and ChickasaWS OF
Oklahoma have large education funds
resulting from royalties on coal which
abounds in their respective territories.
These tribes have always favored
education. In tribal days they sup
ported and conducted their own
schools and at the same time patron
lied mission schools of various relig-
ious organizations. In fact, the pat
rOnage of mission schools has always
been considered by them as a feature
of their tribal system of education.
When the United States government
took over the management of the in
ternal affairs of these erstwhile ma
tons, it continued the school system
which they had set up. 1t maintained
the tribal schools and continued to
pay for the support and education of
children in mission schols, under
contracts which it granted without
interruption up until the present fis-
cal year. The law today is identical-
ly the same as it has been for several
years past, during which time con-
tracts have been made by the Com
missioner of Indian Affairs with the
Bureau of Catholic Indian Missions
and other religious organizations for
the education of Choctaw and Chick
asaw children.
However. in 1915 the Commits
sioner of Indian Affairs deliberately
raised a question in regard to the
legality of these contracts, and the
comptroller in deciding this question,
declared that the law does not author
ize the making Of contracts with
private schools. There is no appeal
from the comptroller, and if Congress
does not give relief the four Catholic
Choetaw-C hickasaw mission schools
and several other schools are
doomed
Mr.. Downey's decision deprives the
Catholic Indian schools in question of
more than $4,000 a year. All the
tribal authorities and all the federal
and state officials of Oklahoma have
protested, and there. is great resent
ment among the Indians and many
of the citizens of Oklahoma. But all
this will not clothe and feed the chill
.dren Of the schools.

and the Holy Scriptures OF the Old
and New Testament as the Revealed
Word Of God, and whose purpose is to
make the will of Christ prevail in Lat
in America
OF course, needless to say. the will
of Christ" does not now prevail in
Latin America, shackled as it is by
the chains Of the Roman monster,
Not at all surprising is it, therefore,
to read that the Catholic Bishop of
Panama. when he learned that the
President of the Republic had grant
ed the use Of the National Theatre to
the missionaries" issued pastoral
letter forbidding his people under pain
of mortal sin from attending the ses-
sions of the Congress. And yet, the
wellknown periodical, "The Outlook"
under the gentle guidance of the Rev.
Lyman Abbott, thinks that this letter
of the Bishop of Panama is both igno-
rant and virulent, for this Congress,
instead Of being sectarian or an inva-
sion of another country for purposes
OF proselytism, is a broad, generous,

leans of all nations" (Vol. III, No. 8,
Oct. 81, 1915, p. 454.)
The real purposes of the meeting
are better understood by other men
conversant with affairs in the Latin
American countries. 1t seems almost
impossible, in fact, that any intelligent
person should imagine that gather
ing of Protestant missionaries such as
the present one, should be for the dis
interested "broad, generous, catholic"
object that the editor of the Outlook
declares it to be. Mr.. Barrett, of the
Pan-American Union, has been quoted
as condemning the Congress-; and the
determination on the part of faction
in the Episcopalian Church to send a
delegation to the meeting has caused
a split in that body. These men real
ize what the result of the Congress
will be. Mr.. Barrett thinks it will in
jure our trade by the antagonisms it
will create. The Episcopalian mem
bers of the Board of Missions who
resigned because of the action of their
organization in the matter, particular
ly the Bishop of Fond du Lac, declare
it to be congress which has for its
purpose the evangelizing of Roman
Catholic countries" and designate it
sas a firebrand,' coming into the ten
tatiye negotiations toward closer har-
mony between the various branches
of Christianity" (New York Evening
Post, Oct. q, 1915, D. lad
The fact of the matter is that this
Pan-Protestant Congress is nothing
more nor less than one of those pecu-
liar, hypocritical schemes which Pro-
testant eyangelists and missionaries
in South America have been concoct-
ing for many years. 1t is an effort for
pure and simple, car
ried on under the guise of more close
ly uniting the peoples of the American
continents and of studying conditions
in Latin America. 1t is encouraging
to know that all non-Catholic minis
ters and laymen have not been de
ceived as to the real objects of this
assemblage That some have lent
their voice and support to it is not a
very favorable reflection upon their
mental acumen or their moral stand
ards.

people in this country. Too often,
we are inclined to believe, do they
