HUNTING HAPPINESS.

In the American Magazine writer
says:
Men have been living on this world
for many centuries. They have
traded in their lives for many differ
ent things - fame, money, power.
But the consensus OF opinion through
the ages is that the thing most to
be desired is happiness. No man can
be really happy unless his conscience
is clear Therefore it pays to be
honest and to treat the other fellow
as one would like to be treated. No
one can be happy who sacrifices his
health. Therefore fame and too
much money, either of which usually
demand health in exchange, are not
to be desired. No man can have the
highest happiness unless he can feel
that he is doing little good by liv-
ing, that he is going to leave the
world bit better after he has gone.
Therefore it pays to bring children
into the world and care for them. 1t
pays to be good neighbor and a
good employer and a good friend"

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

Their tents of tepees were ranged
around an open space where Father
de Smet was standing. The subject
most savage tribe of Indians
of his sermon WITS the Trinity. All
listened intently for a while, and
then there was murmuring. The In
dams have rule that the wise men
of a tribe may interrupt any speaker
And now they objected: ''Black
Robe, you are not speaking to women.
Three persons in one is impossible"
For an instant Father de Smet was
nonplussed. Then like an inspiration
came the sight of the river nearby
The season was winter; there was
thin ice on the water and over it a
layer of snow. MY brothers," said
Father de Smet, look at the river.
When the sun shall come to melt the
snow and the ice, all shall be but
one stream of water" The Indians
were perfectly satisfied with this ex-
PLANTATION.

SATURDAY NIGHT.

Placing the little hats all in a row,
Ready for church on the morrow, you
know;
Washing wee faces and little black
fists,
Getting them ready and fit to be
kissed;
Putting them into clean garments and
white,
That is what mothers are doing to-
night.
Spying. out rents in a.little worn hose,
Laying by shoes that are worn
through the toes;
Looking DER garments so faded and
thin;
Changing a .button to make it look
right,
That is what mothers are doing to-
night.
Calling the little ones all around her
chair;
Hearing them lisp their evening
prayer;
Telling them stories of Jesus of old,
The Shepherd, Who gathers the lambs
to His fold
Watching them listen with childish
delight
That is what mothers are doing to-
night.
Creeping so softly to take last
peep
Silence the token of childhood S
sleep;
Anxious to know if the dear ones are
warm;
Tucking the blanket round each lit
tie form;
kissing each little face, rosy and
bright,
That is what mothers are doing TO-
night.

STORY OF THE PANSY.

There is a good fable told about a
kings garden in which all at once
the trees and flowers began to pine
and make complaint.
The oak was sad because it could
not yield flowers; the rosebud was
sad because it could not bear fruit;
the vine was sad because it7 had to
cling to wall and could cast no
cool shadow.
1--WE are not of the least use,' said
the oak and the vine.
Then the king saw little pansy
which all this time held up it's glad,
fresh face, while all the rest were
sad.
And the king said: ''What makes
you so fresh and glad, while all the
rest pine and are so sad?' t
ST thought" said the pansy, that
you wanted me here because you
planted me, and so | made up my
mind that | would try to be the best
little pansy that could be-
We cannot all be wise and great.
We cannot all occupy high positions
in the world and do great things, but
we can all try. to be good and do the
very best we can in the position in
which we have been placed.

PLATING

One day magician came to the
palace and saw the unhappy little
prince, and he said to the king:
Il know how to make your little
boy happy, but you must pay me
my own price for telling you the
secret
Il want my son to be happy" said
the king, so I am willing to pay any
thing you ask
Then the magician took the little
boy into one of the private rooms of
the palace, and he wrote with some
thing white on piece of paper, and
gave it to him.
Here is a candle" said the magi-
clan, and when | am gone, hold it
under this paper and read the words
which will then appear"
Then the magician, went away, and
would take no pay at all.
The little prince held the blank
paper over the candle, and words ap-
peared in blue letters:
do kindness to some one every
day"
The little prince did so. That was
the secret that made him the hap
piest boy in all the great kingdom.

THE MAN WHO THINKS.

A man with dirty face and hands,
shirt soaked with perspiration, stop
ped, laid down his dinner bucket,
rolled broken knuckle out of the
pathway between the tracks, put it
close up against the ends of the ties,
where no one could stumble over it,
picked up his dinner bucket and
plodded home.
More than fifty other employees
had preceded this man, each one care
fully picking his way around the OBJ
struction.
| asked this man why he took the
trouble to roll the knuckle out of the
pathway. He seemed surprised at
such a question and said, why, some
of the boys might get a bad fall if
that knuckle was there after dark. -
said, "All the other men passed it
by" and he replied: ooh, they're all
good boys. They'd have done the
same thing if they'd thought about
it."
He said something, didn't he?
eff they'd thought about it. All,
yes, eff they'd thought about it."

WRITING ON METALS.

Usually man attempts to put his
name on his metal possessions by
scratching with file or knife and
makes the poorest sort of job. 1t
is really very easy to write on any
metal-the blade of a jackknife, "a
watch case, skates-if one happens to
know how, and the attractivenessg of
the inscription is limited only by the
artistic ability of the individual.
Cover the plate where you wish to
write with a thin coating of melted
beeswax When the wax is cold
write plainly with any pointed instru-
ment, being particular to cut the let
tiers through the wax to the metal.
Then mix one ounce of muriatic
acid and one-half of an ounce of nitric
acid, or smaller quantities in the
same proportion (and remember that
those acids are deadly poisons), and
apply the mixture to the lettering
with feather, carefully filling each
letter.
Allow the acids to remain from
one to ten minutes, according as the
etching is to be light or deep. Next
dip the article in water, wash out the
acids and melt off the wax, and the
thing is done. A little oil should be
applied as finishing touch. Gold,
silver. iron or steel can be marked in
this way

THE WHITECAPS.
Written for The Catholic Bulletin by
Or. James Henderson,

The whitecaps go whistlinS,
Go singing DER the sea,
A-hurrying and scurrying-
Yes, in a very glee!
Go tumbling, go mumbling,
Sometimes in saddest quest,
AS if some phantom ship were lost;
They never seen at rest.
They drift beyond the fartheSt bar
And run them far and down,
Where horizons are rich with gold
About the Evens crown;
And under stars, and under moons,
All silver-tipt they flow
Where gusty winds oft change their
course,
Till back they run and slow.
They break some day upon the beach
Like wraiths all spent and worn,
The whitecaps that had Ventured far,
All DER the ocean borne;
And every day fresh caps ride out,
And every day come in,
To break upon the rocky coast,
Mid raucous noise and din;
For long as ocean combs her surf
And winds are wantOn, free,
The whitecaps will go scurrying
Across thy breast, 0 sea.

ADVERTISING is AN OLD ART.

Advertising was well known in the
palmy days of Egypt. Of course, they
didn't have the electric signs blazing
across the sky, they didn't know that
red makes the best color for advertis-
ing, green the second and black the
next, but they did understand the first
principles and applied them in daily
life, says the Detroit Free Press.
Perhaps the first bit Of advertising
copy was the lost, strayed or stolen"
advertisement written by an Egyptian
on slip of papyruS when his favOrite
slave was missing.
The Greeks had even greater skill.
They advertised their concerts, must
cal affairs, plays and contests. They
gave lis the idea of using bands to
attract a crowd, for they sent around
their cities a town crier, accompanied
by, musician playing a harp or a
Tyre. He praised eXtravagantly in the
best of Greek the thing he was adver-
Using Later the people began to ad-
VertisG privately, on the walls of their
homes, giving information about the
standing of the family occupying the
house and the state of their finances.
The Romans went them one better.
They named their streets, advertised
shows, sales and exhibitions in their
public baths, notified the public OF
sales of estates, posted lists of arti-
Giles lost and found and houses for
sale or rent.
When the Huns swept down upon
Rome the advertisements disappeared
with the Roman power and did not re-
turn until the town crier of the mid
die ages began advertising again.

their ancestors by the material
things left behind. Some ancestors
have been acceptable on genealogical
grounds. They open to us the doors
of honorable organizations Of Sons
or Daughters" of Something. To 9TH
ers some ancestors have furnished the
beginnings of portrait galleries which
make at least a pretence to family
pride.
The Japanese do better by their
ancestors. With them ancestry is OF
eugenic quality. 1t stands to the Jap
for what he should be and what his
children may be. The prayer OF
every good disciple of Shintoism is
that he may one day be a perfectly
good ancestor. He owes it to those
gone before and his excellence is to
be link in an endless lineage.
We may not be able to follow all
that Miss Sakamaki may teach us,
but we should listen with a receptive
spirit and a due amount of meekneSS.
If Americans would realize their OBJ
legations to future generations we
might do something to curb the di
vorce evil, to put a stop to the in
creasing horrors of child murder
and see in our children something
more than potential factor in the
money market.

WORSE THAN IRELAND'S

An editorial in Farm and Fireside
draws attention to the American one
year lease system as follows:
1T is a reproach to American ag-
ricultural life that so many people
on March 1 are homeless. We used
to read with grief and indignation of
the evictions of tenants in Ireland,
oblivious Of the fact that our Ameri-
can tenant system is as bad as that
of Ireland ever was, and not half so
good as Ireland's is now. This lit
tie picture of the situation, written
by victim of the SyStem-a ten
ants wife-shows a cheerfulness I'M
der difficulties that is almost pitiful.
But who will deny that, as years pass,
this cheerfulnes may turn to bitter
ness under the crushing difficulties
encountered by some of our American
wanderers on the face of the earth in
search of homes"

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
SOME WELL MEANING PEOPLE,.

Confidence in a chum does not
mean that you should turn your mind
and heart inside out for her inspec-
ton. A truly worthy friend will not
exact or permit such revelations,
Every family has its joys and sor-
rows, its struggles with economies,
with traits of character, fits of blues,
irritability and temper which consti-
tute the family's own problem and
concern outsiders not at all. These
fits of crankiness, temper and
naughtiness are usually regretted by
no one more than by the victims
themselves. 1t should be the duty
of every member of the family circle
to help them fight their fight and
overcome them. Telling of them out
side the family strikes a cruel blow
to the erring ones self-respect, and
places strong hindrance in the way
of her final victory.
Many lovable persons will go into
a home, accept it's shelter and hos
pitality, then go forth telling with
out the slightest reserve all they have
seen and heard while thus sharing
the intimacy of the family life.
Usually they are well-meaning per
sons. They would not consciously do
these good friends harm. They have
not yet learned that it is wiser and
kinder to keep some things to them
selves. Anything that an individual
learns while an inmate of a home
that the family would not like dis
cussed in public should be kept as
Loyalty as though it were secret of
ones very own.

THAT WE MAY FIND REST.

Il find he never rests" said the
mother, who was taking her little son
upstairs for his MONDAY nap, unless
| take away his playthings before
put him in his cot. He used to want
something to hold when | laid him
down. But | found he would not rest
as long as he had his treasure to look
at"
There are many of us who never
find real rest of heart till the Father
in His wisdom takes from us the
treasures to which we cling. Some
times it is the educational opportun-
ity on which we have SO set our
hearts; sometimes it is merely the
summer outing that we had planned
for, sometimes it is the key to the
gateway of what seemed an altogether
pleasanter kind of life.
But the taking away of the treas
ured thing was often necessary that
our restless spirits might find in the
Father alone the real rest of heart
that makes us strong for service.

In 1912, it was estimated that the
largest farm in the world was in Chi
huahua, Mexico. According to the
Scrapbook, it included 100000 acres
of fertile land and measured 150x200
miles. On mountains and through it's

100000 sheep and 100000 horses, re-
curing the services of 1000 horse
men, herdsmen, shepherds and hunts
