and pulled. Back" he commanded.
The horse put every muscle to the
strain. Back" the wagon moved,
this time at least a foot. Two more,
and the back wheels would be over
the threshold of the barn door.

horse to exert his greatest effort.
There was d crunch of splintering
wood, and the wagon rolled back
Not a blow had been struck the
animal Only gentle words mad been
spoken, and the horse had done the
rest.
And when it was all over the man
did not go on unloading the wagon
without a further thought of the
great, obedient animal standing still
between the shafts. He went to him
and took his nose in his hands, and
patted him between the eyes, and
said: Good old jim! You did it,
didn't you? | knew you would"
And the horse rubbed his nose
against the mans neck.

such things.

JIM DID 1T.

The wagon was heavily laden with
great bags of meal, too heavy for a
single horse to draw, one would have
thought.
1t turned into side street, and
half way down the block, again turned
into an alley at the rear of a livery
stable. 1t required considerable tug
ging on the part of the horse to pull
the load up the incline of the alley
driveway, but be did it, and the driver
looked pleased when the back wheel
had made, the rise and settled down
to level ground. At the barn door it
was necessary to turn the wagon
around completely and back in.
Surely one horse could not do that.
The turn was made easily enough, but
there the wagon remained.
Back him up, JIM said the man,
pulling lightly at the reins.
The horse braced his fore feet and

The wagon didn't move.

stimulate the imaginative faculties.
Wandering in the glorious old basillca,
which had its origin in the time OF
Constantine, and passing near the
sepulchre OF Plus TX, ones eye lighted
upon beautiful metrical inscription,
of which the last line struck me in
special way-"Fac sub pace coli tecta
dicata tibi.'' The epigraph informs
us that the primitive, small and OBJ
scure basilica was followed by that
of S. Pelagius, and that the fact was
worthy of being recorded, as that
Pontiff had finished such a work in
the midst of the fury of the enemy's
arms" gladios hostileS inter ct iras.
And the historic epigram concludes
with the Invocation to the great mar
tyr that he might grant to those de-
vout to him the privilege of frequent
ing that temple in the tranquility of
peace The cult of the martyr
Laurence had in those centuries a
special Importance, and this explains
it's great diffusion, because to his last
prayer on the gri6iron is attributed
the conversion of the Roman world
to Christianity, and consequently the
end of the prosecutions, and the pro-
found peace which the Christian
Church enjoyed. 1t was, therefore,
natural that Pelagius should recur to
him to implore peace i'll the cruel
days of the Lombards, who had short
ly before come to the very walls OF
Rome, everywhere threatening eX-
termination. The only hope of Italy's
being saved from the dominion of
these barbarians, so much hated by
the Italians, rested with the Pope.
Different, indeed, are the conditions
of Italy of today from those OF the
end of the sixth century, but even so
useful comparisons may be made be-
tween the two periods. The Papacy
is still that universal power which
was the heir of the greatness OF old
Rome, is still that marvellous institu-
ton which was the beneficent guide
to peoples, and the constant inSplrer
of civilization and peace. Under the
circumstances came home to me the
words Of a great archaeOlOgist when
he said: AS in the sixth century
Pelagius prayed over the tombs of
martyrs for the peace of Italy, SO
Benedict continues this noble mission
of love today, and implores peace Tor
the world by raising his hands at the
sepulchre of the great apostle Of
whom he is d worthy successor" In
the chapel OF the Countess Matilda
in the Apostolic Palace was exposed
for generation the head Of ST.
Laurence. Mgr, Sagrista celebrated
Mass there, and gave Communion to
some of the Daughters of Charity,
with their pupils. About eight o'clock
His Holiness, accompanied by his
Camcrierc Scgreto, left his apart
ments and went to venerate the
precious relic of the holy martyr.

THE MAN WHO QUITS.

The man who quits has brain and
hand
AS good as the next; but he lacks the
sand
That would make him stick, with a
courage stout,
TO whatever he tackles, and fight
it out.
He starts with rush, and solemn
vow,
That he'll soon be showing the others
how;
Then something new strikes his row.
ing eye,
And his task is left for the bye and
bye.
It's UP TO each man what becomes of
him;
lie must find in himself the grit and
vim
That brings success; he can get the
skill,
If he brings to the task a steadfast
Will.
No man is beaten till he gives in;
Hard luck can't stand for a cheerful
grin;
The man who. falls needs a better ex-
CuSe
Than the quittei's whining What
the use?"
For the man who quits lets his chance
slip,
Just because he's too lazy to keep his
grip.
The man who sticks goes ahead with a
shout,
While the man who quits joins the
down and out.

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
THE GOOD SON.

Anthony was an apprentice, and his
father clerk in a merchants house.
Now, the father had to make voy-
age over the sea on the merchants
business. The sad news arrived that
the ship had been seized by pirates,
and it was impossible to tell what
had become of Anthony's father.
Anthony served out his apprentice

self clerk, earned a property of his
own. At last he heard his father was
slave i'll Turkey, and Immediately
formed the resolution to obtain his
freedom. He therefore collected all
the money that he had saved, sold his
best clothes, and everything that he
had that could be turned into money,
made bargain to serve out the price
of his passage over the sea as cabin
boy, reached the residence of the rich
Turk whose slave his father was, and
offered to buy his freedom. But the
Turk demanded such a large sum of
money that all Anthony had with him
did not amount to half.
'Well, Them said Anthony, take
me as your slave, instead Of my
father; l am young, and can perform
more service for you than my father
who is already old"
At the command of the Turk his
father came in, fell in amazement on
his sons neck, and both shed tears
of affection. But when the father
heard that his son wished to be a
slave i'll his place, he cried more bit
terly still, and would not at all con-
sent to it, But the son said through
his tears: "Oh, my dearest father,
am not only ready to wear the
bonds of slavery for you, but to give
up life itself Take the ransom money
which l have brought with me, for
the expenses of your journey, and
FAREWELL"
AT this the Turk was moved to
tears, and said to Anthony: you are
indeed faithful and noble son!
give your father freedom without ran
som, and present you with sufficient
money to set up an establishment of
your own. For you, excellent An
thony, have acted as good son

THE MEANING OF TIE WORD
LIBERTY.

Mr.. Ruskin was of the opinion that
what is called liberty is often the
worst sort of slavery, and that Obedi-
ence is one of the most beautiful
things in The world. To be obedient,
he says, was ono of the first lessons he
ever learned; and he thus tells
about it:
zone evening, when | was yet in
my nurses arms, ! wanted to touch
the tea-urn, which was boiling merrily.
1t was an early taste for bronzeS, |
suppose: but | was resolute about 1t.
My mother babe me keep my fingers
back; | insisted on putting them for
ward. My nurse would have taken me
away from the urn, but my mother
said: Let him touch it, nurse. So |
touched it, and that was my first
lesson in the meaning of the word
liberty. 1t was the first piece of liber-
ty | got, and the last which for some
time asked
Generally it happens that submits
sion to authority is our charter to
truest liberty. 1t had been well for
many, unduly concerned for the
"unhampered development OF their
personality" had they learned early
in life that by obeying we conquer
our only enemy to freedom our own

and two figures in another, but there's
no use in fussing over such trif1es.
I'm almost sure the methods right,
and that's the main thing
"Yes," returned his father, Il adj
nit that the method is important,
but it is not the only thing. Let me
see how much difference the point
makes in this example"
Tom brought his paper, and after
looking it over Mr.. Walker said:
'That point makes difference of
$4,000. Suppose it represented money
that someone was going to pay you.
Then you'd be pretty anxious to have
the point right, wouldn't you?"
ooh, of course, in that case ! would
have looked over it again" said Tom,
carelessly. But this is only an ex
ample in school, and it would never
make any difference to anybody
whether the point was right or not"
ITO anyone but you," returned Mr..
Walker. For a habit of carelessnesS
and inaccuracy once fixed upon you
will make difference all your life,
and may prevent you from ever sue
ceeding in the business world. You
may not realize it, but what employers
want, and must have, is accuracy in
little things as well as in great, and,
indeed, things that seem small are
often far more important than they
look. A comma seems about as TN
important as anything, but let me tell
you story about one.
Some years ago there were
enumerated in tariff bill certain
articles that might be admitted free
of duty. Among them were foreign
fruitplants. What would that mean?'
"Why, Isuppose," said Tom, plants
sthat bear fruit.
YES" said Mr.. Walker, "but the
clerk who copied the bill never had
been taught accuracy, and instead of
copying the 'hyphen, he changed it to
a comma, making it read fruit,
plants, etc. 1t was a trifiing error
not worth noticing, you would say
but before it could be remedied the
government lost $2,000,000, as all
sorts of plants as well as all foreign
fruits had to be admitted free of
duty. Now, whenever you are in
clined to be careless, | hope you will
remember that tWo-miIlion dollar

Here's curious mystery;
Every deed which is not right
In this house that's brought to light
Is not done it would appear
By somebody living here.
Anyway, it's always blamed
Only total stranger named
'Taintmema',
E'Fingermarks upon the door,
Muddy trackings on the floor,
Books and papers out OF place,
Or a broken cup or vase,
Or most anything that's named,
For which someone must be blamed,
When we ask, who did it, pray?'
We can hear somebody say,
'Taintmema.'
First when father spoke to me,

Just exactly what he meant.
Still it caused me to repent,

To deny it. So today

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
SATURDAYS MARKET.
An Exceedingly Dull and Meaningless
Session.

New York, Jan. 13.-The most in
teresting event of the day in the 'finan-
cial district, publication of the weekly
bank statement, showing an actual
cash gain by local banks of over $780,
900, 900, did not develop until after the
close of an exceedingly dull and mean
ingless session of the stock market
Sales barely approXimated 100000
shares, the smallest turnover, even for
week end, in many months.
The cash gain disclosed by the bank
statement was partly offset by loan
expansion of over SAL, 100000 due in all
probability to some important f1nan-
cling. This was fully neutralized, how
ever, by an increase of reserves of vir-
tually $41,o00,000, or a total of about
s9o,oO0,o00 in the last three weeks,
up to the formidable figure of $751;
500, which slightly exceeds any
weekly showing of the past year
OF the market itself it need only be
said that trading was confined to
relatively small faction of the profess
sional element. Efforts to depress
prices during the first hour were as
sisted by the heaviness of few spe-
cialties, notably Bethlehem Steel and
u. S. Rubber, at declines, respectively,
of Is and IA points.
Weakness of rubber was attributed
to the new financing announced yes
terday, which imposes some restraints
upon the company's future dividend
policy. Other industrials, as well as
specialties of varied descriptions, were
1 to 3 points lower, and Z. S. Steel
also yielded q full point, but short
covering caused general and in some
cases material recoveries at the close.
Rails lapsed into their recent OBJ
security, leading members of that group
being only occasionally quoted, with
moderate recessions in Canadian Pa
cif1c, Southern Railway pfd and some
Of the minor or low priced shares.
Week end news of a general charac-
ter exercised little or no influence in
any quarter of the stock list.
