THE CHlLDREN'S HOUR
SAM.

Fifteen years the bachelor lawyer
and Sam, his Chinese servant, had
lived together in that peace which
passes the understanding of all save
those favored mortals who are their
own servants. Sam was cook, valet,
housemaid, Waterman, friend = and
perfect in each relation. He never
took vacation; he seemed not to eat
or sleep. He was always near when
needed; he disappeared when he
should. He knew nothing, but yet he
knew everything. For weeks scarcely
a word might pass between these two
men, they understood each other SO
we'll.
But one morning, SO the story runs
in the San Francisco Examiner" as
Sam poured his masters coffee he said
quietly, without shade of emotion in
his yellow face, Next week | leave
you.''
The lawyer smiled.
Next week l leave you,' repeated
the Chinaman. I hire for you better
man.

A BRIGHT ONE-ARM BOY.

Tony Jumparnick lost his left arm
when he was years old. He is now
Is. He is doing eighth-grade work at
school and expects to be ready for
high school next June. His father is
dead and his mother is in humble cir
cumstances.
On the play field he does everything
that is worth doing, and he is pitcher
on good ball team. He swims like a
fish and dives from the highest pile
he has found on the shore of Lake
Washington.
He carries paper route. He buys
his own clothes. And he has bank
account.
Five years ago he began to use his
spare moments blowing sour notes
out of a bugle. After a lot of hard
practice the sour notes were supplant-
ed with sweet ones. Then he began
to use a cornet. Now he is the solo
cornetist in the Parental School band.
He reads music readily and the quail
ity of his playing is exceptionally
good. Recently he drew on his bank
account and bought a beautiful $65
cornet.

SHEON.

When the world was young and
saints and holy men walked the earth,
it happened that God, the Lord of all,
came down from heaven to see how
His children we're conducting them
selves.
One night He was traversing lit
tie village perched high on the side of
mountain, and He knocked at the
door and asked for shelter for the
night
I'VE have no room for wanderers
was the surly answer. BE off with
you at once"
Then He knocked at second door,
but the inmates were as inhospitable
as those in the other cottage.
1--WE do not harbor those who tramp
| the road at night when honest men
are in bed" was what He heard.
On and on the Lord God went, seek
ing refuge from the cold night winds,
but all refused to allow Him to enter
and some even threatened to set their
dogs on Him.
The very last dwelling He tried was
that of poor cowherd.
| The cowherd was not hard-hearted
| like the other villagers, so he babe the
| suppliant to enter and proceeded tc
serve Him.
! ALAS" said he, Il have nothing to
eat in the house, but have calf that
| can kill and thus provide an ample
meal
/ Accordingly the cowherd killed the
calf and soon he had meat with which
to satisfy the hunger.
Then said the Lord God to the poo
cowherd: Take all the bones of the
calf and place them one side, all ex
cept this small one which | want my
self.
In the morning when the cowhert
went out of his hut, there stood hi
calf, alive and well, eating the grass
There was no mistake, it was his owl
calf that he had killed and eaten tn
night before.
| Back he hurried into the sleepini
room, but his visitor had gone.

THE CHERRY PEDDLER.

On the outskirts of Boston lives a
man who has a cherry orchard.
One time he advertised in the news
paper for man to pick and peddle
his cherries.
Nobody came but an Italian, fresh
from the old country. He could hard
ly speak English. So the owner of the
orchard taught him to say these
words: Ten cents a quart; Some
are and some amt, and IF you don't,
somebody else will
The foreigner soon mastered these
sentences and started out.
Going through the streets of Bos-
ton, man stopped him and asked:
How much are your cherries?'
The italian replied Ten cents a
quart.
Are they good?" the man asked.
~Some are and some amt
We'll, | guess / won't take any to-
| day. the man replied.
IF you don't somebody else will, 7
the Italian replied. That was all
right.
/ Going up to a door he knocked. A
| woman answered the knock and said
| Hello"
The peddler replied, as taught
sTen cents a quart.

A Catholic girl in the business world

to such good effect that she can re-
count, when necessary, some Of its
glories, and be able to refute some
of the most common attacks on it,
it's saints and its practises; She should
know how to explain the Mass and its
ceremonies; to tell what is meant by
the Forty Hours devotion and other
well-knoWn deyotions, such as those
to the Sacred Heart and May devo-
TONS to be able to explain about
sodalities, their origin and uses; So

equipment for her battle with the
forces of ignorance and irreligion

THE "YOUNG ONES"
Concerning the Wife Who is Deliber'
ateIy Motherless.

A woman who, by cool and calcu-
lating choice, is no mother, and who
congratulates herself that she has no
young ones" tied to her apron
strings, is either very unfortunately
organized. or she is essentially I'M
moral, says Timothy Titcomb. A man
who can tip up his feet, over against
his lonely Wife, and thank his stars
that he has no 'squalling brats'
around to bother him, is brute.

friends, understanding the meaning
OF genuine companionship, each ready
to follow where the other leads.
Because when transports and visions
merge into the commonplace and the
real, it is comradeship, common inter-
ests, common pleasures and all, that
can be trusted to guide the good ship
away from the shoals of boredom, in
difference or a still worse fate.
Bethrothals and weddings blossom
like the roses, but the roses fade and
die and even the fragrance passes
away, just as does the first heyday Of
romance; but when the transitory ele-
ments in marriage have vanished, as
they must, if there is left sound
basis OF congenial tastes, then the flu
ture holds no terror and the way looks
clear.
And may all the dreams come true,
and may the light that never was on
sea or land be kept cleaning for all
time in the homes just in the making.
Best wishes and bon voyage all
through the way of life!

HOW THE NAMES OF THE DAYS
OF THE WEEK ORIGINATED.

They are derived from Saxon
mythology. The SaXons had seven
deities specially venerated by them,
viz: The Sun, Moon, Tuisco, Wooden,
Thor, Friga, and Saeter. After these
the days OF the week were named as
follows: Sunday was dedicated to the
sun and was called by them Sunan-
daeg. Monday was dedicated TO the
Moon, and was represented by a
female on a pedestal, with very
singular dress and two long ears.
TuiscO, hero, sire of the Germans,
Scythians, and SaXons, was the patron
of Tuesday. WCden, the northern god
Of war, had Wednesday set aside for
his honor. He corresponds to the
Roman God Mars. Thor, the eldest
son of Wooden, god Of thunder and
lightning, had Thursday CThor's day)
as his day. Friday was sacred to
Friga (Herta OF Edith, the wife OF
Wooden, and mother Of the gods. She
was the goddess Of love and pleasure,
but bore a naked sword in her hand,
to show that if need be women must
fight even as men. Saturday was
named after the god Saeter, who is
the Roman Saturnus. He was the
protector of fields and waters, pre-
pared the rain and sunshine for the
fertility of the fields.
