MORE THAN HER SHARE.

''This piece of chocolate cake is for
me, isn't it, Mrs. Kane?" said Mary,
smiling, as she reached across to take
the largest piece on the plate. She
did it with a frank, good-natured air,
and the hostess smiled as she passed
on, but nevertheless there was a doubt
growing in her mind. Mary was such
an attractive-appearing girl! She had
been pleased when her daughter,
Doris, brought Mary home for a two
weeks visit. But could it be that
pretty, clever Mary was selfish and
we'll, almost plain greedy?
But as the days passed Mary's at

had gone home, Doris big brother ex-
claimed: well, she sure was the

you CAN SEE THE WIND.

1t is said that anyone may see the
wind by means of a common handsaw.
All that is necessary is a handsaw
and a good breeze. On any blowy day
hold the saw against the wind. That
is, if the wind is in the north hold the
saw with one end pointing east and
the other west. Hold the saw with
the teeth uppermOst and tip it slowly
toward the horizon until it is at an
angle of about As degrees. By glanc-
ing along the edge of the teeth you
can see the wind" it will be pouring
over the edge of the saw much after
the name that water pours over a
waterfall. This is doubtless due to
the fact that there are always fine
particles of dust in the air, and in a
strong breeze the wind forces against
the slanting sides of this saw, slides
up the surface, and suddenly pOurs
owe when it reaches the top.
1t is doubtless the tiny particles
that make the air d%ust-laden that can
be seen falling over the edge of the
saw as the wind current drops, but
it is about as neal as anyone can get
to seeing the wind under normal con
ditions.

WHY WE ARE TICKLISH.

Our strange ticklishness, curiously
confined to special parts of the body,
receives attention in a new book by
Dr.. George w. Grille and is pronounced
a protective reaction which had it's
origin in the experiences of our pro-
genitors while themselves still in the
stage of fighting with teeth and claws.
One type of tickle reflex is excited by
a light running movement. This gives
the sensation of a crawling insect,
with an irresistible impulse to rub the
spot affected and is believed to have
developed when insects were a great
peril-perhaps at the time of mans
gradual loss of hair. The second kind
of tickle reflex is elected by a certain
heavy pressure about the ribs, the
loins, the base of the neck and the
soles of the feet. The pressure is
like the penetrating contact of a
toothlike body and the reaction is an
explosion of energy as laughter, with
cries for mercy and vigorous re-
sistance. The ticklish areas are
points which formerly must have been
especially exposed to attack by tooth
ed and clawed beasts.

WHY NOT BE CHEERFUL?

Good cheer is a great lubricant. 1t

Good cheer is a great producer. 1t

power. 1t makes hosts of friends and

Good cheer will attract 0 Gus.
toners, sell more goods, do more bust
ness, with less wear and tear than
almost any other quality.
Optimism is the greatest business
getter, biggest trader, truest achieveT
in the world.
Pessimism has done anything
but tear down and destroy what op'
timism has built up.
In the business Office, in society, in
politics, in workshops, everywhere,
the favorite is always the cheerful
fellow with the bright smile and
bright thoughts.
Good-natured, cheerful ones do moi
waste their vital energies as rapidly
as the grumb1ers or the too sober, toe
o u ones do. They work and live
with much less friction.
Good cheer is a simple habit. 1t is
one of the best in all the list.

COURTESY IN BUSINESS.

Courtesy is to business and society
what oil is to machinery. 1t makes
things run smoothly, for it eliminates
all jar and friction.
Every sort of business institution
is beginning to find that courtesy
pays. Big business and little business
alike are realizing that human nature
is so constituted that people will often
put themselves to great inconvenience,
will even put up with an inferior ar
ticle or with discomforts, rather than
patronize houses that treat their GUS
toners rudely.
The courtesy and affability of clerks
in one store will pull thousands of
customers right by the door Of rival
establishments where the clerks are
not so courteous and accommodating.
Everybody appreciates courtesy, and
a little personal interest goes a great
way in attracting and holding custom
ers.
A New York business man who has
been eminently successful in estab'
fishing a large number Of stores says
that Thank you" has been the motto
on which he has built up his enor
nous business. He once sent a tele-
gram to every one of the firms thous'
ands of clerks, which read: Did you
say Thank you to every customer you
waited upon today?"
There is no other single expression
in the English language which does sc
much either in business, in the home
or in public intercourse to oil life's
machinery as Il thank you" There
is no day in our lives unless we are
absolutely alone when we cannot use
it to great advantage many times. 81
thank you" has made a way for many
a poor boy where better ability has
failed to get on.

WORDS ON cEcILIA's MEDAL.

A little girl, seven years old, named
Cecilia, who had assisted at some of
the sermons of a mission, heard the
preacher say:
Il can assure all those who will
say from their hearts three times the
following little prayer that they will
gain the indulgences of the mission:
Mary, conceived without sin, pray
for us who have recourse to thee"
When she. came home, Cecilia, who
knew that her father was not as good
a Christian as her mother, took her
medal to him and said: Look, papa;
here is a medal that the Sisters have
given me for good lessons: will you
read what is written on it for me?"
The father read: 20 Mary on
ceived without sin, pray for us who
have to thee
Thank you, papa
In a little while Cecilia returned to
her fathers room, saying: Papa,
will you please repeat the prayer of
the medal to me once more?g

PUBLIC DEcoRUM.

When entering a restaurant the
man precedes the lady, following the
waiter, who shows them to a table;
then the man assists the lady with
her wraps and sees that she is prop
erly seated before taking his own
seat.
In leaving a theatre or a restau-
rant the man precedes the lady to
clear the way for her until the door
is reached; then he goes to her side.
When a man enters the theatre he
follows the usher to the row of seats,
then both step aside and allow the
lady TO enter first, the mar follow
ing. If there is no usher, the man
precedes the lady to locate the seats,
then stands aside to allow her to be
seated first.
A man walking with two ladies
always takes the outside of the walk.
In escorting two ladies to the theatre
he seats them together and sits near
est the end himself. This last must
be modified according to circum-
stances; there may be some reason
why he should sit between the ladies,
but by taking the outside seat he pre-
vents either of them from being in
convenienced by the occupant Of an
adjoining seat.

THE HELPING c

The car was not crowded, but the
tired little woman, who had scrambled
on at a busy corner, found difficulty
enough in finding room for both her
self and the unwieldy paper parcel
she carried, as more active passengers
took possession of the empty seats.
As she finally wedged herself into a
space at the extreme edge, the string,
none too securely tied about the par
eel, slipped off, and for the next few
minutes the stiff fingers were busy
trying to re-tie the knot that seemed
so unwilling to stay in place.

THE LAMP AT HOME.

There is silvery frost IN your hair,
old boy.
There are lines N your forehead,
too;
But your clear eyes speak of the peace
and joy
That dwell in the heart Of you.
For the passing of youth you have no
regret,
No signs for the summer gloam
And the lovers moon-it is with you
yet
In the light of the lamp at home.
In the summer of youth, in that sunny
hour
That will come to you never again,
When you wooed your love as the bee
the flower;
The sweets that you gathered then
You have hived and stored for your
later life.
And your heart is you honey
comb
All, I've seen your face when you
kissed your wife
In the light of the lamp at home.
oh, you rare old lover! Oh, faithful
knight,
With your sweetheart of long ago,
You are many days from the warmth
and light
OF the summers you used to know.

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
THE DEAD BIRD.

One day, says an old, old legend,
the dear Child Jesus was playing with
other little boys Of about His own age
when some of them happened to find
a poor little dead bird lying in the
field. While seeking for food for it's
young it had been killed by a stone
flung by some cruel hand and had
of a joyful song, it's happy life
crushed out of it through the heartless
cruelty Of a child. In vain it's little
ones now awaited it, crying for food;
in vain its little mate called for it to
come and help her in a task too heavy
now lay on the fowery grass, it's
bright eyes closed and it's pretty
head hanging limp and blood-stained.
But the little boys felt no. pity for
it. On the contrary, one of them
seized it by the end of it's wing and
tossed it up into the air, crying: :
why don't you fly, you lazy fellow,
you? Why don't you fly?" Then, as
it fell back upon the hard ground, an
other kicked it roughly, also crying
in a hooking voice: Here! why
don't you sing, o silly?"
But the Child Jesus sprang for
ward, and, STOPPING down, picked up
the poor dead bird with a look of in
finite pity on His sweet face and tears
in His beautiful eyes. In spite of the
laughter and cheers of His compani-
ons, He gently smoothed its ruffled
plumage, pressed it to His breast, and
held it in His two little hands, as if
to warm it. Then, pressing His lips
upon it's dropping head, He murmur-
ed: Poor little birdie. fly to thy
loved ones and be happy once more
And with a wild chirp of joy the little
bird flew out of the Christ-Child's
hands and with the swift, strong
wings scared back to it's nest in a
great tree near by, where it sang an
exultant song of thanksgiving.
This is but "a legend, though a
beautiful one. But, boys, remember
that God loves the work of His
hands," that He did not put the birds
into this world as targets for your
guns and s~lingshots, and that Our

WHEN LOST IN THE WOODS.

What would you do if you got lost
in the deep woods? How would you
proceed to get out, and how would
you make yourself comfortable until
you did get out or were rescued?
Herman Templeton, a Maine guide
of many years experience, has the
following list of dos and don'ts for
those who may find themselves lost:
First-Sit down and think it over.
Second.EStay where you are, so
that the men who are not lost will
have some chance of finding you; if
you wander around they will have
almost none.
Third.-If you cannot stay still,
but must try to get out, follow a
stream or logging road downward,
and you will eventually come out
somewhere in open country.
Fourth.-When you stop build a fire
and keep comfortable overnight.
Don't get excited; don't travel in
a circle once you discover you have
been doing so; don't hurry at any
time; don't worry under any cfrcum-
stances.
THE trouble with most people is
that they get in a hurry when they
find they are lost, lose their heads
and wander around almost blindly,"
said Mr.. Templeton. The greatest
reason why people get lost is lack of
observation. They fail to observe the
country when they are going into it,
and when they start to come out, al
though they may be on the right
track, they do not recognize the coun-
try enough to follow the right course.
Every man going into the woods
should have a compass and a thorough
knowledge of how to use it. With
that knowledge and the ability to OBJ
serve the country a man car trave,
in the deep woods safely even with
out previous experience"

PLATING

"Wel dear, I will do it to satisfy
you," and he repeated the words.
Cecilia, having thanked him, went
away, puzzled to find out how she
should coax her father to say the
prayer for the third time. Next day
she went to him again, and he asked
her how often she was going to be
running in and out.
Il want to ask a favor of you,
papa. want to have this prayer SO
that I can put it in my book. Will
you not write it for me plainly. And
as you are writing it you car say
the words loud, SO that l may remem-
Der them"
To rid himself of her opportunities
he sat down to write the words, re-
peating them as he wrote. When he
had finished Cecilia threw her arms
around his neck with Il delicious little
laugh, saying to him: 4 am SO glad,
papa! The missionary Father said in
his mt that whoever repeated
that prayer three times would gain
the graces Of the mission; you have
said it three times and have gained
them
The father was touched almost to
tears and made no answer, but he
began to think seriously; and, with
the help of Gods grace, on the last
day of the mission he received Holy
Communion with his wife, while the
little angel who in her simplicity had
been the means of leading him into
the right way looked on with joyfal
heart and prayed.
