Don't write poetry-at least, don't
send poetry to editors-until you
know what poetry is. You can learn
this only by the wide reading and deep
appreciation of the very best poets; to
name only a few, Browning, Tenny-
son, Wordsworth, Shelley, Spencer,
Milton, Shakespeare, Chaucer. And
don't write on any subject unless you
have something new to say, or some
thing old that you can say in a new
way.
Don't send manuscript to an editor
before studying his periodical. Would
a commercial traveller try to sell gro
ceries to a jeweler? Yet authors are
constantly making this grotesque mis-
take.
Don't send out your first story, or
your second, or your tenth. Story
writing is difficult art. Would a
young cook expect to sell her first pie
or eat it, for that matter? Prac-
tise, practise, practise! And lay aside
your efforts, till you can see how
crude they are.

THE SEVEN WISE MEN.

Most people have heard of the
Seven Wise Men of Greece, Pittacus,
Bias, Scion, Thales, Chilon, Cleobus
and Periander. Here is their story;
and the moral of it is worth remem-
bering, if the names are not. AS some
Coans were fishing, certain strangers
from Miletus bought whatever should
be in the nets without seeing it. When
the nets were brought in they we're
found to contain a golden tripod. A
dispute arose among the fishermen
and the strangers as to whom it be-
longed; and as they could not agree,
they took it to the Temple of Apollo
and consulted the priestess there. She
said it must be given to the wisest
man in Greece; and it was according
ly sent to Bias, who declared that
Thales was wiser, and sent it to him.
Thales sent it to another one, and SO
on until it passed through the hands
of all the men, distinguished after
ward as the seven Wise Men; and as
each one claimed that the other was
wiser than he, it was finally sent to
the Temple of Apollo, where it long
remained to teach the lesson that the
wisest are the most distrustful of their
wisdom

HOME INFLUENCE.

'"The boy who is taken out for a
stroll on Sunday afternoon by his
father says Judge Scully of the Chi
cago Juvenile court, lis seldom the
boy who gets into trouble Judge
Scully finds and social workers will
agree with him, that the lad who is
tempered to follow the downward path
is the lad who is deprived of proper
home influences. The tone of family
depends largely on the mother, but
the father should not restrict him
self to the humble though necessary
position of breadwinner. In the opin-
ion of many observers, too many
Catholic boys whose homes are fairly
good in most respects, suffer from the
fact that they know little about their
father, and he knows little about
them. Much has been written and
sung of the mothers influence; the in
fuence of the father has not received
the attention which it's Importance
deserves. The father who makes his
boys his companions, at least occa-
sionally, safeguards both himself and
them.

LITTLE STRAIGHT LACE.

Burt and Johnnie Lee we're delight
ed when their Scotch cousin came to
live with them. He was little, but very
bright and full of fun. He could tell
curious things about his home in Scot
land and his voyage across the ocean
He was as far advanced in his studies
as they we're, and the first day he.
went to school they thought him re-
mafkably good. He wasted no time
in play when he should have been
studying and he advanced finely.
At night before the close of the
school, the teacher called the roll,
and the boys began to answer Ten"
When Willie understood that he was
to say Ten if he had not whispered
during the day, he replied: I have
whispered"
more than once?' asked the teach
Eyes, SIR" answered Willie.
"As many as ten times?"
Maybe l have" faltered Willie.
"Then | mark you Zero" said the
teacher, ssternly; and that is a great
disgrace"
"Why, 1 did not see you whisper
once" said Johnnie that night after
school
well, l did," said Willie. 81 saw
others doing it, and SO asked to Dor
row book; then I lent slate pencil
and asked boy for a knife, and did
several such things. I supposed it
was allowed
"Oh, we all do it," said Burt, red
dening. There isn't any sense in the
old rule; and nobody could keep it
nobody does"
Il will, or else | will say haven't"
said Willie. DO you suppose would
tell ten lies in one heap?''
ooh, we don't call them lies," NUT
tered Johnnie. There wouldn't be a
credit among us at night if weNwere
so strict
What of that, if you told the truth ~
laughed Willie, bravely.
In a short time the boys all saw how
it was with him. He studied hard,
played with all his might in playtime;
but, according to his account, he lost
more credits than any of the rest. AT
ter some weeks the boys answered
Mine" and Eight" oftener than they
used to. Yet the school room seemed
to have grown quieter Sometimes,
/ when Willie Grants mark was even
lower than usual, the teacher would
smile peculiarly, but said no more of
disgrace. Willie never preached at
them or told tales; but somehow it
made the boys ashamed of themselves,

THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS.

Think happy thoughts!
Think sunshine all the day;
Refuse to let the trifiing worries stay;
Crowd them with thoughts of laughter
from your mind.
Think of the good and forget the bad

Think of the sun behind the clouds;

And not the gray skies that today
you view.
Think of the kindness, not the mean

The true friends, not the false ones
you have known;
The joy and not the hatred of the
strife.
The sweetness, not the bitterness of
life.
Think happy thoughts!
Think happy thoughts!
Think always of the best.
Think of the ones you love, not those
that you detest;
Think of your victories and not your
failures here.
The smile that pleased and not the
hurtful sheer;
The kindly word and not the harsh
word spoken.
The promise kept and not the promise
broken;
The good that you have known and
not the bad.
The happy days that were and not the
sad;
Think of the rose and not the withered
flower,
The beauty of the rainbow, not the
shower,
Think happy thoughts!
Think happy thoughts!
This is true happiness!
That life is sad that feeds on it's dis

But one day dreadful thing hap

to see the tenement on fire. His first
thought was of Eileen-for her

steps at a time.
Suddenly white face appeared at

mo! No! Give me rope I'll get
her." And Lacey was off into the
black smoke, while the frightened
crowd outside groaned with horror.
Breathless they waited and then
Lacey's brown head appeared at the
window. The rope was thrown out
and Eileen appeared.
With many encouraging words the
boy helped her to get firm grasp on
the rope and then she slowly made
her way down. .

his head on the sill-but the screams
of the people reused him.
Stepping over the sill he started
down and with deafening roar the
great wall fell in. But by a strange
miracle Lacey dropped close to the
spot where little Ely stood with arms
outstretched.
Doctor Talford and Mrs. Carral
came into the crowd to look for Eileen
and Lacey lay with sweet smile on
his fair face.

in his arms, calling: ooh! Michael!

laid the still form down and said to

But Mrs. Carral was pressing the
slender hands to her bosom as she
whispered:
Mother understands. A member of
hearts. "

THE VALUE OF CATHOLIC
LITERATURE.

No agency is so misleading to the
old, and so pernicious to the young as
harmful literature. In ambiguous
terms the editors bring forth their
immoral stories; in words of subtle
and hidden meaning the authors at
tract the attention of their readers;
in the vulgar and sensational dailies
the woeful conglomeration of divorce
and race suicide are hashed and re-
hashed. In diffuse and bold type our
eyes feast upon the immortality of the
age and the political scandals. This
wave of noXious reading is being
catered to, by the men who own our
papers. The contemplate lies cir
culated among our Catholics must be
thrown back into the teeth of those
who utter them. The strongest and
most powerful weapon in our hands is
good Catholic literature. Girded in the
armor of truth and justice we must
sally forth to counterfeit this spirit of
darkness, which, by it's nefarious
works, attempts to destroy our faith.
The logical point in ascending this
huge mountain must be the circula-
ton of good Catholic literature among
the children. The boys and girls of
today are the pillars of the Church
tomorrow. The hearts of the young
ought to be diligently guarded and
trained by fostering within them the
love of sound literature. The late
Pope Plus x remarked: TN vain you
will give missions, build churches and
found schools; all your works will be
destroyed, if you are not able to WELD
the powerful weapon of a strong, loyal
and sincere Catholic press"
By reading books that have the tone
Of Catholicity and that are pervaded
by Catholic morals and doctrines we
become better Catholics. Silently but
gradually the power of good and the
love for what is pure and holy per-
meates our soul and body. One who
habitually reads Catholic books neces-
sarily fosters his faith. The very fact
that he is constantly imbibing solid
and truthful arguments paves the
avenue leading towards Christ.
One of the main assets of this read
ing is to be able to refute the fallaCies
of the non-Catholics. The greatest
majority of them have limited num-
bre of objections which they continu-
ally throw into our faces. If we would
talk daily with the Mannings and the
Newmans we would be able to dis
close the falsity and the impossibility
of their fundamental doctrines. A
casual study of our leading principles
would open for us the road to suppress
the many and trivial stories cast
abroad by ignorant non-Catholics.
We know of no better words than
those uttered by Milton in regard to
coed literature: Books" said Milton,
do preserve, as in a vial, the purest
efficacy and extraction of that living
intellect that bred them" Our char
acters are laid open to the public. The
depth of wisdom, the fertility OF
thought and charm of expression
shine in the eys of him who has
used his valuable time in perus
ing sound and practical books
But on the other hand the frivolity
and flippancy of the age, the debased
character, are depicted in him who
drinks from the fountain of immoral
observation-disclosures P. Leipzig, in the
Pacific Star.

DoNT's FOR WRITERS.

Don't tell the editor that he may
fix up your manuscript to suit him
self; it is your business to fix it up to
suit him.
Don't prepare your manuscript
carelessly, writing with pencil on odd
sheets of paper, folding it crisscross
and jamming it into too small an en-
velope If you care no more than that
for your work, how do you expect any
one else to value it?
Don't say of story: "This tale is
based on actual experiences. Every
story worth reading is true to life,
though every word of it may be
made up. Are your characters real
ones?" / once asked famous and

Ambition is the spark plug that ig-
mites the oil of effort. No man ever
succeeded without ambition and some
have failed because of it.
Be ambitious, but don't be too lazy
in that ambition. Focus ambition and
it will turn defeat into victory. The
man who vaguely imagines that he
wants to succeed-to own business,
to be rich, to get on-will never find
the tabled Castle of Achievement
Men who travel, if they wish to
reach a destination, know in advance
where they are going. We live in a
practical world; we aim to eliminate
waste and lost motion; we want re-
sults-quick! Therefore, know where
we are going.
Brutus was ambitious, but his am
bition was not tempered by a desire
to serve and benefit. Brutus was the
original Wallingford. He wanted to
night. Brutus' ambition led down
ward.
If man would grow big in life, let
him never lose his ambition. When
one goal is reached, let him marshal
all his armies and resources to win
again on the morrow. Be up and do
ing! Never let the sun go down at
night with your ambition dead and
your ardor cooled.
Men who are ambitious never grow
old, for they have found Ponce de
Icons magic fountain. Ambition
leads men on and on, through every
adversely. When success has crowned
our efforts, we find that ambition has
taken wings again and on the morrow
we break camp to follow.
Ambition has built cities, titled the
fields, populated the waste places
drained swamps and dug graves.
Ambition is the child of Eternity
Eternity is the distance between Sun
rise and Sunset. We are in the Now;
we are fighting for our ambition-and
we are winning! There is no other
way to win.
Ambition is power.

CAUSES OF FAILURE.

If man, professional or otherwise,
fail in his work, the cause will prob
ably be found among the following:
]. Lack Of love for his task.
2. Lack of tact in his methods.
3. Lack of care for his appearance.
d. Lack of regard for the views of
others.
5. Lack of thoroughness in doing
things to finish.
6. Lack of faculty in winning sup.
port.
Z. Lack of gumption in making
knowledge practical.
9. Lack of patience in doing drudg-
cry, and too great haste to Gull the
flowers.
10. Lack of moderation in things
desired, and an overestimate of actual
needs.
