into your mind. You will find that
every person has something nice about
him if you will only get below the
little things.
Look into yourself, and you will
find there is not faculty you have
that is not good. What a splendid
faculty is imagination; yet it has been
the curse of many mans life. And
yet there is no more splendid hand
maiden to the things of faith. So it is
all around.
Use the lips to overcome evil.
Then there is the positive side. So
St. Paul makes this splendid analogy.
Use all the faculties of your mind and
body as the instruments of justice and
holiness. Never rest till your hands
are stretched out doing good and your
lips speaking good. 1t is easy to dis
courage, to drive man almost to
despair and the gutter.
mo man is complete in his recOv'
cry from sin till all his faculties are
centered in the service of Jesus Christ
That seems to me to be the keynote OF
the Catholic faith. 1t takes the beg
gar off the street. The thing to make
a person good is to turn his heart to
God And then to serve Him. To do
things for Him. The only way to
drive out darkness is to call in light
In many a disease the physician can
do nothing but sustain the vitality
till it is strong enough to overcome
the evil of malady. B. w

FORGIVENESS OF INJURIES.

A slave who had, by the force Of
his sterling worth, risen high in the
confidence of his master, saw. one day,
trembling in the slave market, a ne
gro, whose gray head and bent form
showed him to be in the last weak
ness of old age. He implored his
master to purchase him.
The old man was bought and con-
veyed to the estate. When there, he
who had pleaded for him took him
to his own cabin, placed him in his
own bed, fed him at his own board,
gave him water from his own cup,
when he shivered carried him into
the sunshine, when he dropped in the
heat, bore him softly to the shade.
What is the meaning of all that?"
asked a witness of his kindness. rs
he your father?"
mo"
rs he then your friend?"
NO"
rs he your friend?"
"No; he is my enemy. Years ago
he stole me from my native village
and sold me for a slave, and the good
Lord has said, If thine enemy hun
ger, feed him; if he thirst, give him
drink; for in so doing thou shalt heap
Goals of fire on his head"

THE CLOCK OF DEATH.

The clock at Hampton Court Palace
derived it's unpleasant title by reason
of a superstition that whenever any
one long resident in the palace dies
the clock Immediately stops. 1t is Of
record that when Anne of Denmark,
the Queen of James l., died, the old
timepiece was striking four and that
it stopped almost before the last
stroke sounded Since that time it is
said to have repeated this grisly pro-
ceeding each time a royal parsonage
within it's jurisdiction died.
At any rate, the clock has an inter
esting history quite aside from this.
1t was the first astronomical timepiece
made in England, being constructed in
1910 for Henry VIII. Thirty-tWo years
ago it was brought out of a shed where
in it had lain neglected for nearly half
century, and by order of the then
Secretary of the Office of Works it was
regretted in the courtyard opposite
the entrance to the state apartments.
There is historical evidence to the eff
feet that it was built by one Nicholas
Crater, German astronomer who
came to England at the invitation of
Cardinal Wolsey.
This old timepiece tells the hour, the
month, the day of the month, the posi-
tion of the sun and the number of the
days since the beginning of the year,
the phases of the moon and its age, the
hour at which it crosses the meridian
and the time of high water at London
Bridge. The time required to wind it
is half an hour every week. The
weights have a descent of over sixty

THE PASSING OF PoLITENEss.

These are mournful days for the Po-
lite Arts. One by one they are pass
ing away-the art of conversation, the
art of paying calls, the art of letter
writing.
The art of conversation is so dead
that it is no longer even subject for
conversation. No one even remembers
of what it died. Did it languish and
fade away into an eternal pause as
such dignified gentleman of the old
school as the art of conversation
would be expected to door was it
murdered?
The mystery surrounding the death
of the art of conversation has never
been properly cleared up. Some think
il died of heart failure induced by the
killing modern pace. Others say it
starved to death. Others again, that it
was done to death by the chewing
gum trust. For my part, believe the
art of conversation talked itself to
death. 1t died of Obesity-it grew and
grew and grew until when all the
world talked there was nobody left to
listen. Then it burst.
No such mystery hangs about the
death of the art of paying calls. Here
it was a case of plain everyday MUIR
der-and what is more, the murderer
still lives. Millions of electric volts
are pumped into him every day, but
he still lives-the more electricity we
give him the livelier he grows. He is
the telephone, and the telephone is the
murderer of the art of calling.
Poor old art of calling! We shake
our heads and murmur perfunctory re.
grets-"good old chap" and all that
sort of thing, but really in our heart
of hearts, let me whisper it very low
we don't really miss him very much;
to tell the truth, we are rather, that is
to say, quite glad he is dead. If any
one of us had the courage of his con
viction he would have killed him long
ago. To speak plainly, the art of call
ing was a pestiferous tyrant-and he
only got what he deserved.

She can peel and boil potatoes,
Make a salad of tomatoes.
But she doesn't know Latin noun
from Greek;
And so well she cooks chicken
That your appetite would quicken
But she cannot tell what's modern
from antique.
She knows how to set table,
And make order out of babel,
But she doesn't know Euripides from
Kant;
Once at making pie | caught her
Jove, an expert must have taught her
But she doesn't know true eloquence
from rant.
She has firm conviction
She ought only to read fiction,
And she doesn't care for science, not

And the way she makes her bonnets
She is worth a thousand sonnets.
But she doesn't yearn for culture

She can make her wraps and dresses

Well, in fact, she's just woman,

ADELIRERATE PURPOSE IN LIFE.

Any dead fish can float down stream,
but it takes a live fish to swim up
stream. Your purpose, your firm de,
termination to succeed in whatever
you undertake, will help to carry you
up stream, no matter how strong the
current or what obstacles may op-
pose you. If you have no purpose,
if your determination is weak, wav.
ering, like a dead fish, you will float
down stream with multitudes of other
human derelicts who haven't enough
vim or will power to force their way
up to success.
1t does not matter how much abil
ity you have; if you lack that power
of resolution, which knows no sur
render, which fixes on it's goal and
never turns back, you will not likely
achieve anything that is worth while,
anything that is distinctive.
In this day of sharp, close competi
ton, it is only those who fling the
weight of their whole lives into their
vocation who usually succeed in any
marked, individual way. A half.

Some people have not the moral
courage, the persistence, the force OF
character, to get the things out OF
the way which stand between them
and their ambition. They allow them
way into things for which they have
no fitness or taste. They haven't
strengthened their backbone, their
will power sufficiently to enable them
to fight their way to their goal. In
fact they have no goal, no definite
purpose in view, and they get no
where.
Without a definite aim it is impos
sible to make any Roadway, to get
anywhere. Nobody ever drifted into

"Croak! Croak!"
And then to the little boys surprise,
the frog started to take off his rusty

off his legs. With a wiggle he pulled
it up and drew it off over his head.

Billy dropped his fishing-pole and
ran home laughing.
When he told mother what he had

And that afternoon when the store
clerk handed Billy his old coat done

new one), he laughed so heartily that
she asked what the joke was. Wher

There he soon found pole, line, and
hooks.
"Pll carry these things down to the

said Billy.
The creek was very near to the
house, in fact it ran right through the
corner of Billy's own back yard.
Billy intended to lay his pole by
the big log near the bank, but as he
came close to it he stopped, for there
on the log sat the biggest frog that
the little boy had even seen.
"Croak! Croak!" said Bully, the
frog, "Croak! Croak!"
Now that is what the frog really
saids but to Billy it sounded exactly
