president of the North Dakota Equity
Society.
Corn is selling for s2.1s and wheat
at So, and as the result, farmers are
fedding the latter to Stock said Mr..
Johnson. This is not only true in a
few cases but the feeding Of wheat
has become a general practice in
northwestern North Dakota, where
there is practically no forage or
rovghage."
Mr.. johnson has been instrumental
in relieving the hay shortage in the
state. He stated that ten cars of hay
are on the way from Goodrich. MINI.

that it will sell at $18 a ton. This,
MI. johnson declares. must be ma
terially reduced. because the average
steer will 'eat $50 worth of hay be-

this rate would be an expensive lux

CATHOLIC BROTHERHOOD.

Il Z + 1 =
All! what sorry Catholics are
they who have not even enough
charity to live in the world in union
with their fellow men! The sacrifice
of the Mass supposes brotherhood
among men. How many Christians
ever think of offering it to the Father
for their brethren? The "Our Father
supposes brotherhood. How many of
his children have the intention of re-
citing it in this spirit of love? The
Holy Eucharist supposes brotherhood.
How many Christians approach it
with brotherly love in their hearts?
The communion of saints supposes
brotherhood How many Christians
on earth think of asking assistance
for their brethren from the Christians
in heaven? In all His works there is
union. He has united men with the
Father, EARTH, with heaven, the chill
dren of Adam with grace. If Christ
detests sin it is because it separates
man from God, and from his fellow,
men. You are My disciples, you are
My friends, you are my brethren, you
are My sons. Do you value these
titles as you should? By what good
works do you make return for them :?

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK
ST. PAMRo, HERMIT.
---

Pambo chose from his youth the
austere life of a solitary in the desert.
Full of the fear of God. he was never
seen to smile or to lose his recollec-
ton; he never spoke without prayer;
when consulted upon spiritual matters,
he humbly replied that he did not
know what to say, and then he took
time to pray and to reflect. He some
times waited three months before Civ
ing an answer, until God taught him
what he should say. The brethren in
consequence received his words as if
| they came from God. When a. solitary
asked if it was not good to praise
others, he answered 1T is still bet
terato be. silent" For three years
Pambo prayed that God would not
glorify him upon earth; but this
prayer was not heard, for his face
often appeared so majestic and bril-
liant as to dazzle those who looked
upon it. st. Athanasius sent for him
to testify in Alexandria to the divinity
of Jesus Christ, and received him with
great honor. With other solitaries
Pambo was banished by the Arians
to a pagan island, where they con-
verified all the inhabitants At his
death he said he had always lived by
his own labor, and had never said a
word he had repented of, but yet he
seemed not to have begun to serve
God. He expired in peace about 387.
Pambo left the world so young he
had not learnt to read. He asked a
solitary to teach him some psalms by
heart. His first lesson was the words,
II said will take heed to my ways,
that /. sin. not with my tongue" He
was SO struck by this that he said it
was enough, and he. would come back
for another lesson when he knew it.
He did not return, and six months
afterwards the solitary met him and
asked him why, he did not come. He
said he had not yet learnt his first
lesson In after life, he told friend
Fit had taken him nineteen years to
master it.

ON STEALING LITTLE THINGS.

A certain reader asked the following
question of the Bombay Examiner
and received the subjoined answer:
A certain person has got a rose tree
that gives beautiful yellow flowers.
Often ! asked him for cutting, but
he refused. One day I got into his
garden and without his knowledge /
took a cutting myself. Now is this
robbery? Ny line of argument is his:
Robbery is priyation moral or. mate
rial. In this case it is neither. For
the. tree will not die; and will con
tinue to give flowers as much as be-
fore. The purpose for which he has
the tree is no wise altered And the
tree has been given to man-for all.
Strictly speaking it is theft to take
from another anything of his property
against his will, even though the
thing is of no real value to him; even
il he would not miss it, even il no
material damage is done. Still there
is what theologians call paryitas
Hmateriae, and the maxim ~Parum

BLESSINGS IN DISGUISE.

A great master of the spiritual life,
st. Ignatius, says that sickness is no
less gift than health. We are to un-
derstand by this that God can be
served as well in bearing up patiently
under sickness and trial as by jealous
y labors undertaken for the salvation of
souls and by heroic notifications per
formed by those, who have splendid
bodily health. i
In other words, this saying teaches
us that blessings frequently come to
us in disguise. Sickness, especially if
long and painful, is something we all
naturally shrink from. We dread it
as a terrible inconvenience. We only
think of the discomfort it causes to
us or to those who must wait upon
us. But we are apt to forget the
finer qualities it may bring forth in
the soul of the patient. There is
resignation and humility, and fortitude
and patience-beautiful virtues all
of them-which may be learned, per-
haps for the first time, on the sick
bed. And if these be so thoroughly
acquired as never to be lost after
wards, the sickness was indeed, a gift
in disguise. For without it these
precious qualities would not have
come to the soul.
And so it is with other trials that
befall us in a lifetime. Nothing hap
pens unforeseen. To the person of
faith even hardships and sudden
calamity have their value and mean
Eng. God can draw good from evil
The trial may have been very neces-
sary to strengthen your character, to
teach you an important lesson, to root
out vicious inclination which might
have endangered your salvation In
these cases the blow was certainly a
blessing in disguise. For the spirit
ual advantage far outweighs the little
material discomfort
We are apt to notice only one side
of the inevitable ills that befalls us.
This is the side that causes pain or
annoyance, or stirs us up out of slug
gish ease and comfort. Naturally, we
resent thus being deprived of the con-
venience we consider our due But
let us be brave and large-hearted
What today seems a cross exceeding
ly heavy, a blow cruel in the extreme,
may in the course of time turn out to
be a heaven-sent blessing. Saint
Joseph was told at night to fly with
the Child and His Blessed Mother into
Egypt. 1t was, naturally speaking, an
annoying command. Yet it was one
act in the grand drama of the re-
demption of the human race from
sin and slavery to passion and the
powers of evil. Untold good has been
wrought in other souls by the con-
temptation of that act which wrought
temporary hardship to the Holy Fam
lily.
Looking upon undeserved trials and
misfortunes with the eyes of faith is
the part of a brave soul. And faith
tells us that there is a silver lining
to the cloud, that the trial may be-
come a stepping-stone to higher virtue
and bring us closer to the heart of
God.

THE sFoEMAKERs' PATRONS.

Towards the close of the third cen
fury, two brothers went from Rome
to scissors, in France, to spread the
faith. They were known as Crispin
and Crispinian. 1t was said that they
were of noble family and had given
UP all for Jesus Christ, Whose Word
they loved to preach in the streets and
market places. Not content with the
labors of the day, they worked at
night, making shoes. Their industry
gave them means to help the poor;
and their generosity and charity drew
many infidels to listen with respect
to those remarkable men, who could
make such sacrifices for the needy
and afflicted. Many conversions took
place during the years that the broth
'ers were permitted to preach in the
town, but, as in all ages, there. were
some who looked with doubt and dis
like upon disciples of Christ.
Holy and devoted as were the lives
of Crispin and Crispinian, yet enemies
were secretly trying to bring about
their destruction. These enemies
waited for an opportunity to lodge a
complaint with the emperor, savage,
cruel man, who was only too willing
to persecute the brothers. He caused
them to be brought before the gov
ernor of the province, an implacable
enemy of Christianity, upon whom the
emperor had conferred lands and hon
-ors. To obey the royal command was

he subjected Crispin and Crispinian
10 the most appalling tortures. But
in vain; no torture could induce them
to deny their Savior, and, unable to
conquer them, the governor ordered
their death by the sword. A great
church was built at scissors in their
honor; in the sixth century, and the
shrine was richly adorned.
Centuries later boy was born in
the Duchy of Luxembourg, who was
destined to found pious work under
the patronage of Crispin and Girls

/. ers, and Henry the Good, as the boy
was generally called, soon learned to
earn his bread. He was apprenticed
f TO a shoemaker, ana as ne hammered
and sewed, he meditated upon holy
things, and on the example of the
two martyrs. Crispin and Crispinian
were his models. How different they
were from the men and boys among
whom he worked! Surely they would
help an apprentice lad to lead his
brothers in the trade in better ways
of living!
BY his patient, kind manner and
his good example, Henry won the
friendship of his associates and ac-
quired an influence over them. He in
duced them to attend Catechism, to
shun places where liquor was sold,
and to frequent the Sacramento.

of consolation and encouragement to
them in their troubles. In this way
the ice was broken, and the people Of
I AIRS gradually began to frequent the
sacraments and to grow strong and
feryent in the practice of virtue.
The news of this change in Ars and
of the holiness of it's pastor soon
spread thronghout the neighboring
country, and penetrated at length to
the limits of France and thence
abroad. Every day the roads to AIRS
were crowded with pilgrimages, which
as time went on grew larger and
larger. The stream of pilgrims kept
up for thirty years, bringing extraor-
binary great crowds to the little vii
lage. Men could not say precisely
what it was that attracted these vast
throngs from near and far, They saw
only a poor little church and a poorly
clad priest. Yet they stood there and
waited patiently two or three days
to confess to him and to listen to
his simple catechism, which power
fully stirred their consciences. Many
came out of mere curiosity, but on
these, too, fell the rays of grace. III
So indefatigable were his labors
that he would hardly allow. himself
one or two hours of rest at night.
A little after midnight he hurried to
the confessional. there to remain the
whole day, except during the times OF
Mass, of the brief instruction, and of
his very scanty meal These labors
he kept UP increasingly, until June
20, 1859, when after he had been for
sixteen or seventeen hours in the con-
fessional, his strength suddenly gave
way. On the morning of August his
soul took its fight to heaven. All
