THE DRUM MER BOY.

You never know when war may come,
And that is why | keep a drum,
For if all sudden in the night
From east or west came battle fright,
And you were sound asleep in bed,
And very soon to join the dead,
You then would gladly wish my drum
Would warn you that the war had
come.
So that is why OH afternoons
| tell the neighborhood my tunes.
Sometimes behind a fortress bench
Or where the hedges make a trench,
I beat the drum with all my might;
While people look with awful fright,
And hear the warning of my drum.
Just as they would if war had come.
They must be thankful, am sure,
Because they now may feel secure,
And rest SO safe and sound in bed,
Without wild dreams of fearful dread
For now they hear me all the day,
AS round the yard I march and play
To let them know if war should come
They'll all be sure to hear. my drum.

HIS MOTHER CAME FIRST.

While the mobilization Of certain
Illinois regiment was under way wont
en- in the persons of relatives and
friends of the guardsmen tlocked to
the camp in such numbers that neces-
sary work was hampered. There
upon, it is reported. the colonel issued
orders that only one woman should
be allowed to visit each member of the
regiment.
One Of the guardsmen, not yet
knowing of the order, approached the
camp in company with his mother, q
sister and his fiancee The guard
stopped the party and sternly asked
who the women were. When told he
answered: You can take only one
It's up to you to choose"
The young man looked for mo
ment at the three, and then said
Mother"
When war is in the air humanity
gets down to fundamentals, and wher
this is done, mother will never get
the worst of it. We do not believe
that the young guardsman will make {
worse husband than if he had chosen
his sweetheart A man who can ap
preciate his mother can be expected
to take care of his wife.

guages and twenty-five dialects while
working at his trade. He worked
fourteen hours a day in his shop and

this unusual number of languages. He

Goethe's Advice.
Goethe, the distinguished German
poet, tells us not to wait for extra
ordinary opportunities, but to make
use of common situations. There is
always room for workers in this
world, and the will to advance will
certainly find the way. Those who
neglect the minutes will soon find that
the hours for accomplishment have
fled, but if they are careful of the min
utes the hours will look out for them
selves.
We read of Benjamin Franklin
SlSdllIlS IlLll0 llOlu ulS uOuI0 LUZ steep
and eating in order to study. We hear
of Napoleon mapping out the govern
ment of the countries he had conquer
ed while he was riding all over
Europe on horseback or in his camp
carriage. Hundreds of such cases are
to be read in history, and certainly we
sluggards should blush with shame in
the reading.
When life is so short, every moment
counts. If we neglect the minutes we
will soon find that life itself has
passed without our having accom-
plished anything. To waste time is
infinitely more eXtravagant than to
waste money, for money lost can be
regained if the proper steps are taken,
but time lost can never be recalled.
Minutes are almost as valuable in the
path of achievement as hours. So be
economical with your time if you wish
to accomplish anything in this life.

SWered cheerily.
Probably the girls thought it did not
much matter what she called it 50
long as it was daily errand, but it
really does make great deal of diff
ference what attitude of mind we take
toward our duties-Whether we do
them only because we must, or
whether we learn to find pleasure in
them. Duties that never hold more
than we are obliged to put into them
usually remain hardships, but those
heaped up with some little extra serv-
ice Or kindness for good measure are
sure to grow into pleasure in one way
or another. "Whosoever shall COM

pies. Don't stop with doing just what
you are obliged to do, but add to duty
kindness, interest, and a Willingness

good measure that is good not only
for the one who receives it, but also
for the one who gives it.

QUACk REMEDIES.

The medical journals are warning
their readers very strongly of late
against the use of so-called headache
mixtures or powders.
The basis of practically all head
ache remedies" is some coal-tar prep
aration. Some are built around phe-
nacetin, some around aspirin, etc.
Combined with one of these coa[tar
preparations there is sometimes or
binary cooking soda, sometimes an
etferyescent powder, sometimes some
drug derived from opium. From top
to bottom there is not one entirely
harmless drug in the list.
Every headache medicine, regard
less of its name or what may be said
on the label, contains one or more
| of these harmful drugs.
The latest bulletin issued by the
Bureau of Chemistry, Washington, d.
| c., (No. 1913, "Habit-Forming Agents,
Their Indiscriminate Sale and Use as
d Menace to the Public Welfare), in
| speaking of headache mixtures, says:
These mixtures are advertised as
| cures or effective treatments for
many ills of mankind, ranging from
cholera morbus in infants to brain
! fag' and exhaustion, due to drunken.
ness. They have been the cause OF
many deaths and hundreds of cases OF
poisoning. The amount of acetanilid
acetphenaltidin, antipyrin, caffein, etc.
used in preparations of this class OF
habit-forming drugs is very large
Until recently it was claimed by some
that these agents were harmless, ano
did not belong to the habit-formins
group. Later Investigations, how
ever, clearly show that this position
is unwarranted. The medical profes
sion for some time fondly believed
that the depressing effects of acetani
lid were counteracted by caffein
which is present in most headache
mixtures, but pharmacological expert
ments have shown that the assump
ton is erroneous. These drugs in gen

HE THOUGHT OF MOTHER.

A boy, who afterwards became gov
ernor of the state of Massachusetts,
once came near being drowned. The
boat in which he was sailing, was cap
sized, and he had to swim more than
mile; but he finally reached safety;
and when he reached home and
told his mother what a long dis
lance he had to swim, she asked him
how he managed to hold out SO long.
Il thought of you, mother" replied
the boy, land kept on swimming" The
thought of mother helped him in the
moment of his greatest need and thus
saved his life, not only to himself and
his mother, but also to the state and
nation.
The thought of mother has saved
many boys and girls, men and women,
from sinking. The thought Of mother

A LOST CHORD.

In 1851 Miss Proctor, with two of
her sisters, became a convert to the
Catholic Church In her zeal in be-
half of charity she is said to have
overtaXed her strength, and this was
probably the cause of her early death
which occurred in her thirty-ninth
year.
Perhaps the most popular of all
her lyrics is that entitled "a Lost
Chord" 1t is equal to Longfellow
both in sentiment and finish.
Seated one day at the organ,
| was weary and i'll at ease,
And my fingers wandered idly
Over the noisy keys.
| do not know what [ was playing,
Or what l was dreaming then;
But | struck one chord of music,
Like the sound of a great Amen.
1t flooded the crimson twilight,
Like the close of an Angels Psalm,
And it lay on my fevered spirit
With a touch of infinite calm.
1t quieted pain and sorrow,
Like love overcoming strife;
| 1t seemed the harmonious echo
From our discordant life.
1t linked all perpleXed meanings
Into one perfect peace,
And trembled away into silence
AS if it were loath to cease.
I have sought, but | seek it vainly,
That one lost chord divine,
| Which came from the soul of the
organ,
And entered into mine.
/ 1t may be that Deaths bright ange
i Will speak in that chord again,
1t may be that only in Heaven
i shall hear that grand Amen.

THE CHlLDREN'S HOUR
BEDTIME IN MANY COUNTRIES.

Have you ever stopped to think that,
when you are going to bed at night,
other little children are strenuously
Directing because it is morning and
they must get out of their beds? "Out
Of their BEDS did l say? Well, not
exactly that. Some of them don't have
real beds. Here is how some of them
sleep. Which way do you like the
best?
In the tropics, men sleep i'll ham
mocks or upon mats of grass.
The East Indian unrolls his light
portable charpoy or mattress, which in
the morning is again rolled together
and carried away by him.
The Japanese lie upon mating with
a stiff, uncomfortable wooden neck
rest
The Chinese use low bedsteads
often deliberately carved and support
ing only mats or coverlids.
A popularity of the German bed is

ly consists, in part, of a large down
pillow or upper mattress, which
spreads over the person, and usually
answers the purpose of all the other
ordinary bedclothing combined.
In England the old four-poster bed

but the iron or brass bedstead is fas
becoming universal. The English beds
are the largest beds of the world

THE HOSPITAL NUN.

Like breath of heaven in the midst of
hell,
Like love of God fulfilled in ecstasy,
Like smile benign on Gods own Face
divine,
You come to ease Internal pain, and
pray.
Samaritan in woman's sacred robes,
EmbasSadress from God of peace and
health,
Fresh healing oil you pour in aching
wounds,
The way prepare for Christ the Lord
to come.
No labor is too mean, no thought too
high,
No prayer nor sacrifice too great for
you,
If by that toll, that thought, that sacri-
flee
Some good be wrought for strangers
whom you serve.
Sweet angel of the battlefield, brave
Nun,
Meek spirit of the silent house of pain
You are the noblest martyr of them
all;
When angry cannon belch their
stream of hell
Into the very midst of firing line,
And sons of weeping mothers, bleed
ing fall,
You, woman, rob grim war of hate
and pain,
BY toll unceasing wrought for wound
ed men,
Redeeming slaughter by your Christ
like care,
And plucking terror from the heart of
war.
Your eyes, so pure and fair, made
bright
By sparks from flames of Christs
most Sacred Heart
Are stars of hope to sinners on the
way
So dark, that leads to penitential
death;
Your hands drop benedictions every
where,
Those consecrated fingers whose soft
touch
A blessing is to sick humanity.
To touch the hem immaculate, remote,
Of your blest habit, angel Nun, would
'reft
The fiery brain of fever, heart of pain,
So great the faith of souls in virtues
power
Which radiates, like grace of God,
from you.
God bless you, sister of the Nazarene;
Like Him you go about to cure the ills
Of men, within the worlds vast hos
pital;
Christ crucified upon the cross your
model is,
Blest sacrifice and service give you
power.
You are virgin, and a mother, too;
Your children are the deeds of love
and toll
You daily bring into the world of sin,
The records of your faith and charity.
Your bride is Christ, Who exc your
Savior is,
His Mother is your mother, yea, and
mine.
The healing balm you deity pour in
wounds
Is Gods sweet grace distilled on Cal
vary.
&
Hail, Most heroic figure of the age!
Hail. Consolatrix of the stricken
race!
Sweet Nun of Christ, may the God Of
mercy bless
Your life of sacrifice, transform YOU
deeds
For men performed, but in His Name
Into eternal years of peace and joy.
The world salutes the consecratet
Nun,
Gods angel in the worlds great hos
pital.
