Juarez and the Real Purpose of the
Laws of Reform.
Out of this whirligig of riot there
eventually emerged the dominating
figure of Juarez, the Indian, whose
efforts finally resulted in the Three
Years War; the domination of the ex-
IRENE radicals and the PRONUNCIATION
of the infamous Laws of Reform.
Forming but a small minority of the
population, this element, by it's readi-
ness to resort to violence, its effec-
tive organization through the Ma
sonic Lodges and it's years of train
ing in military activity and control
OF the army, dominated and bullied
the majority with the fear of death
and destruction.
The Laws Of REFORM were intended
to destroy the Catholic Church in
Mexico. That they failed to do SO
has been the plant of all the "Liber.
ais from that day to the present;
and the Carranzistas of today declare
that this time they intend to make
sure of their work, and to make the
Catholic Church in Mexico but a
memory.

BEING LATE.

Some people act as if they were
always just few minutes behind
time. If they could catch up, their
lives would be serene. But they never
do catch up. Breathlessly they go
through the day as if in pursuit of a
phantom. Often they live under a
great nervous tension At the end of
the day they are exhausted One
hears them speak as if they were sub
jected to great trials, including over
work. But, as a matter of fact, the
trouble lies wholly within themselves.
If they would only calm down and do
quietly and serenely what they have
to do, life would take on a wholly
different aspect for them, becoming
instead of torment, source of
peace and happiness.
There are those who seem to be
afraid of being ahead of time If
they made an appointment they can't
endure keeping it promptly. They
hate to be on hand a minute or two
in advance. That minute or two is
too precious. They must not be
wasteful. Besides, in the interval
what would they do. The thought of
idly waiting is distressing. And yet
such people are nearly always waste.
full of time. They do a good deal OF
idling. What is more serious, by be-
ing late they keep others waiting and
encroach on time not their own
Moreover, when they arrive they are
likely to be in a state of nervous ex
element which is not at all pleasant
Be on time. Have system. Do your
work in an orderly manner. Let to
day take care of today. Plan ahead
Keep things in order. So you will
have plenty of time to attend to every
duty. You will neither be rushed mol

THE TOUR OF A SMILE.

My papa smiled this morning when
He came downstairs, you see,
At Mamma; and when he smiled
then
She turned and smiled at me:
And when she smiled at me | went
And smiled at Mary Ann
Out in the kitchen, and she lent
1t to the hired man.
So then he smiled at some one who
He saw when going by,
Who also smiled and ere he knew
Had wrinkles in his eye;
So he went to his office then
And smiled right at his clerk,
Who put some more ink on his pen
And smiled back from his work.
So when his clerk went home he
smiled
Right at his wife, and she
Smiled over at their little child
AS happy as could be;
The smile to school, and when
She smiled at teacher from her book
Teacher smiled back again.
And then the teacher passed on one
To little James Mcbride,
Who couldn't get his lessons done
No matter how he tried;
And Jamesy took it home and told
How teacher smiled at him
When he was tired, and didn't scold
But said: Don't worry, JIM"
And when I happened to be there
That very night to play
His mother had a smile to spare
Which came across my way;
And then took it after while
Back home, and mamma said:
Here is that very selfsame smile
Come back with us to bed"

that, if the soldiers are not careful,
it will go. hard with them. His deed
is enough to be punished by death
and we were sent to do it and it shall

Then they hurried off, leaving
Helen staring dumbfounded for mo-
ment. But she quickly recovered her
senses and followed the men at short
distance, making out that they were
British soldiers and Tory leader.
She began to run as soon as she
thought they were out of sight, to
tell her father the news, when she
was abruptly stopped by British
sentry. In her haste she had gone
the wrong way and ran directly into
the British camp. The sentry asked
her who she was and what she wanted
in camp. She answered:
81 am Helen Hudson, sir, and was
on my way home when 1 by mistake
ran right into camp. You will have
to excuse my intrusion"
you are not the daughter of Capt.
Henry Hudson of the Continental
army?" asked the sentry.
'I am,' answered Helen.
Then said the sentry, you will
not go from this camp until my cap
tain sees you He's been looking for
information I know you can give.
Come with mel"
Helen was taken before the COM
handing officer, who happened to be
Lord Howe He was noted for his
cruelty in treating anyone who was
brought before him. The soldier laid
before him the facts of the little
girls case, whereupon he turned
with flashing eyes to Helen:
well, my little rebel, give us the
information we are looking for, and
all will be well. What have you to
say?"
Helen answered, 81 refuse to an.
swer."
"Well-well, well see," blazed out
Howe, and, calling some of his men,
he told them to throw her into
dark dungeon until morning, when
she would either tell or be put to
death.
The soldiers took her to the dun
geon, where she cried herself to
sleep. About dawn she was sudden
ly awakened by sounds of firing. The
American army had come upon these
stray soldiers camp and sharp
skirmish followed in which the Brit
ish soldiers were driven from the
place and forced to retreat leaving
Helen behind. She began screaming
until the soldiers heard her and re-
leased her from the dungeon In an
other moment she was clasped in her

| flag she loved so well as almost to
suffer death for it.

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
THE MINUTES.

We are but minutes-little things
Each one furnished with sixty wings,
With which we fly on our unseen
track;
And not minute ever comes back.
We are but minutes, yet each one
bears
A little, burden of joys and cares.
Patiently takes the minutes of pain;
The worst of minutes cannot remain.
We are but minutes; when we bring
A few of the drops from pleasure s
spring
Taste of their sweetness while we
stay;
1t takes but minute to fly away.
We are but minutes, use us well,
For how we are used we must one
day tell
Who uses minutes has hours to use;
Who loses minutes whole years must
lose.

HELEN's ADVENTURES IN WAR
TIME.

1t was very late in August in the
year ITS, before the outbreak of the
American Revolution, that Helen
Hudson's family settled in an Ameri-
can colony not yet independent.
There were numerous Tories and
British soldiers camping near her
place. 1t was deemed best not to
speak too freely about American
freedom, for fear of being put in
Jail, charged with high treason
against the king of England.
One day, as Helen was coming
through a wooded section near her
house, she heard the sound of voices
talking in hurried whispers. This is
what she heard:
"This man Hudson must be put
out Of the way, or the British sol
diers can never make move with
out fear Of him telling his confound-

THE LITTLE MIND.

The man who wearies me the most
Is not the one inclined to boast,
Nor is it he of manner loud
Who seeks attention from the crowd
But it's the man who when he reads
Or sees another's kindly deeds,
Says with sneer and face all smirk
ing
That for the money he is working.
This fellow has so small a mind
He can't conceive an action kind,

THE BOY WHO LOVES HIS
MOTHER.

MOTHER.
She sat in the porch in the sunshine
AS I went down the street
A woman whose hair was silver,
But whose face was blossom sweet
Making me think of a garden
When, in spite of the frost and
snow,
OF bleak November weather,
Late fragrant lilies blow.
heard a footstep behind me,
And the sound of a merry laugh,
And knew the heart it came from
Would be like comforting staff
In the time and hour of trouble,
Hopeful and brave and strong,
One of the hearts to lean on,
When we think all things go wrong
I turned at the click of the gatelatch
And met his manly look:
A face like his gives me pleasure.
Like the page of a pleasant book.
1t told of steadfast purpose,
OF a brave and daring will,
A face with promise in it
That, God grant, the years fulfill
He went up the pathway singing;
| saw the woman's eyes
Grow bright with wordless welcome
AS sunshine warns the skies.
Back again, sweetheart mother,
He cried, and bent to kiss
The loving face uplifted
For what some mothers miss.
That boy will do to depend on,
I know that this is true
From lads in love with their mothers
Our bravest heroes grew.
Earth's grandest hearts have beer
loving ones
Since time and earth began;
And the boy who kisses his mother
Is every inch man.

Attacks Upon Property Rights.

OF property the Church possessed
some millions still remaining from the
funds not appropriated by the King,
and in real estate there existed num-
Der of properties whose rentals went
to the meagre support of the numer-
Gus schools, hospitals and charitable
institutions conducted by the ecclesi-
astical establishment. These posses
sions now occupied the attentions of
the revolutionists, whose red radical
ism emboldened them to attempt their
confiscation. Unsuccessful attempts
had been made previously to control
the Church through the patronage,
but this the clergy resolutely refused
to concede, to the no small angry
disappointment of the radical politi
clans.
The attacks began with the laws of
1888, which, under pretext of separa-
ton of Church and State, sought to
destroy the Church by depriving it of
all income; the real purpose, at bot
tom, being to obtain possession of all
houses and money belonging to the
ecclesiastical establishment. These
laws or DEGREES ended the govern
ment control compelling payment of
tithes or obedience to religious VOWS.
There came reduction in the tithes,
but, much to the surprise and chagrin

FOX HUNTERS TO MEET

Olympian Springs, Bath county,

This decision was reached at the an

known devotees of the sport were

make one of the most successful in
the history of the organization.
Last year the annual hunt of the

MISS FROST GRANTED
LEAVE OF ABSENCE

Miss Margaret Frost, local Com
munity Nurse, has been granted
leave of absence for one year by the
Montgomery County Health and
Welfare League in order that she
may join the hospital unit which is
being organized by DIR. David Bar
row, of Lexington. The Health and
Welfare League has been so salts
fed with the work of Miss Frost
that they decided to grant the leave
of one year instead of accepting
straight resignation in the hope
that through some turn of events,
Miss Frost might be able to resume
her work here. The League has
several nurses in view to fill Miss
Frost's place and a selection will
probably be made in the near future
in order that the new nurse may
arrive and become familiar with
her local duties while she has the
guidance of and before the depart
ure of Miss Frost, who is expected
to leave with the rest of her unit
about Oct. 1st.
