tended a bazar at St. Cecilia's hail,
Fortieth and Webster streets, last
evening. Both have fondncss for
bazars.
When they started home they had
two buff orpington chickens, a box Of
apples two boxes of spaghetti and a
52-pound turkey. 1t was decided that
Pat was to carry the apples, spaghetti
and other prizes to Fortieth and Cum

struggle along in that direction with
the weighty turkey.
When Pat reached his destination
father-in-law was numbering along

thing radically wrong with the moral
condition OF some of the children in our

sion is, or 20 whose fault it is chargeahle,
must be ascertained. The effect of this
lamentable condition has been manifest
ed in the courtroom, when youngsters
have been brought before the court
charged with all kinds of serious crimes.
fear that many OF the children are
not taught how to pray | know that
most OF those brought into court do not
even know what prayer is, much less
know how to pray. What can we eS-

has been totally neglected, whose ami
NAL appetite has been cultivated to the

been satisfied by an indulgert parent?

HAD A CAPITAL Of $500
In Six Years He Was Well OF

history Of his experience, on a Mani

81 will give you here a brief sum-
mary Of my experience since coming
here six years ago. I was a new hand
at farming, my trade being meat-cut-
ting and butchering. My capital was
$4OO, which was a first payment on
my quarter section (16O acres). Most
of my stock, harness, implements, etc.,
were bought at sales, all ION time"

were about as good rs nothing and had
either to be rebuilt or replaced entirely.
There were 20 acres broken, and very
badly farmed, bringing poor returns
the first year." After mentioning q
number Of mischances. he says: '"In
spite of all these drawbacks, / have
done well. I consider my farm worth
$500 to $4,000. l have four head of

to hold over 5000 bushels of potatoes
and other vegetables. AS to income, I
raise about ten acres of garden and
roots annually which net from $500 to
$1,000 total. I generally sell from
20 to 40 tons timothy hay which brings
