PRoLoNGING YOUTH.

Youth is flesh and blood gem OF
priceless value.
It's value develops with age.
The older you are, the more precious
it seems to you.
You cannot buy youth.
But youth may be prolonged into
middle age. And in occasional in
stances into what is ordinarily termed
"old age" There is no excuse for
growing old at thirty or forty or fifty
and in some cases not even at sixty
or seventy.
When you grow old before your
time, ignorance Or laziness is the
cause of the disease"
For premature old age is a disease
1t is caused by functional mac.
tivity.
We have always maintained that
the enthusiasm, the vivacity, the
magnetism, the beauty, energy and
ambition associated with youth need
not disappear, even in middle age
The youthful spirit, with it's hope, en-.
thusiasm and ambition, should be re.
tanned long after one has passed the
supposed age of youth.
The woman who has grown old be.
fore her time has made a tragedy OF
her life. She has thrown away Life's
most valuable asset.

IF YOU WERE BOSS?
TIE Echo.

If you were the boss and fellow
like you
Came in and requested raise,
If he did his work in the way that
you do,
Would you speak of his toiling in
praise?
Would the way that you tackle your
task every day,
Indifferent to profit or loss, -
BY another from you win an increase
in pay
If you We're the fellow that's boss?
If you were the chief and a vacancy
came,
AS vacancies frequently do,
Do you think that you'd hasten to fill
up the same
With youth that is very like you?
In his manner of working, think you
that you'd find
Any trait that would cause you to
gloat?
Oh. if you were boss, are you sure
you're the kind
OF a fellow that you would promote
If you owned the business this morn
ing instead
Of working for people who do.
Do you think you would trouble or
bother your head
About young fellow like you?
Take a look at yourself though it gives
you a jar,
You may rally the next time you
tire;
If you were the boss, would you say
that you are
The kind of fellow you'd hire?

THE CHlLDREN'S HOUR.
HAPPY GIGGLES.

Betty was a dear little girl, but,
goodness me- She had one dreadful
fault-that of talking about her little
friends when they weren't around.
One day when Betty's mamma made
her stay indoors to play, Betty stood
at the window and called to her play
mates as they passed, begging them
to come in and play with her. But
they all shook their heads and went on
down the street. This made Betty
very much vexed and tears rolled
down her cheeks.
Tut! tut" laughed a merry voice
at her elbow, and Happy Giggles pop
ped up beside Betty. What's the
trouble now?"
I'm lonesome" Betty sobbed mo

maybe it's because you never say
cross things to me or say mean things
about me. Don't you sometimes talk
about your little friends when they're
not around?"
Betty thought for a long time-then
nodded her curly head.
Il thought so,' said Happy Giggles,
twirling his cap on his finger.
But l never mean any HARM ex-
claimed Betty. Il do it for fun"
Surely, you don't mean the things
you say replied Happy Giggles.
That's why you should be very
careful what you say, and how you say
them.
"A tale is like a SNOWFALL The
longer it's rolled the bigger it grows.
When you talk about one of your lit
tie playmates to another, that little
girl tells another little girl All the
time the tale grows larger and larger,
Just like SNOWFALL, and when the
little friend hears it herself, then she
feels hurt and decides not to play
with you any more
"Oh, dear! Pm so sorry." cried
Betty, "for | love them ALL"
I know it,, replied Happy Giggles,
"and I'm going to tell you how to

When you feel like saying something

THE LANGUAGE OF THE STONES

Above the entrance to the new
Juvenile Court and Prison Building
in st. Louis one may read the in
scription: "Children's Building" The
building is used for the purposes of
the court mentioned and contains also
the detention-rooms for Juvenile
delinquents, says the Central Bureau
Bulletin. The inscription is there
fore, to say the least, poorly chosen,
inasmuch as the name "Children's
Building" will be understood by the
vast majority of thinking people to
mean either structure erected in
honor of the children of the city or
anyone would consider it happily
chosen, when applied to a building
set aside for court procedures and for
punishment.
As in this instance, so one may
notice in many others also the we'll
nigh utter absence of the art of
coming suitable dedications, pregnant
with truth, epigrammatic in express
sion and classic in form. In the olden
days, this art was not unknown. italy,

this art was most understood, offers us
many examples of beautiful and terse
expressions in stone and metal. The
founders and builders of edifices de-
voted to purposes of reform or of
charity knew how to express a whole

THE LoAvEs FOR THE POOR.

Years ago in the city of Florence
lived Nicholas Nerli, the banker.
AT six in the morning, when the
church bell rang for Terce, he sat
at his desk, and at nine, when it rang
for None, he was there still; and all
day long he wrote and wrote figures
in his ledgers. He gave loans to the
Emperor and the Pope. He had ac-
quired great wealth, and robbed
many people. And so he was hon.
ored in the city of Florence. He
lived in a palace where the light that
God made entered but through mar
row windows; and this was prudence.

A BIT OF TURF.
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
Dr.. James Henderson,

There's bit of ground I'm thinkin'
of,
A bit of Irish turf,
Twas cast up at my feet one day
And by an Irish surf.
I'm lovin' it and keepin' it
And scarcely know the why
That bit of turf is dear to me,
That came afioatin' by.
If God would only tell us all
The ties that seem to bind
The childer's heart to motherland
We wouldn't be so blind,
But the heart love keeps us cropping
Till we stop and wonder why
We love the hills of Erin,
And we love an Irish sky.
Tho seven times the blood is crossed
The little drop will stay
True to its Irish flowing
As the Irish rills today;
And, never spot upon the earth
But feels the olden thrill,
When we speak of Irish valleys
Or we sing an Irish trill.
This little bit of turf was tossed
Upon the pillows high,
1t came to me and chung to me,
/ never asked it why;
But, think it knew the Irish blood
Thro some kind trick of fate,
And call it my estate.

A BUTTERFLY.

Sometimes a butterfly, to me,
Looks like little ship at sea;
A ship with pretty sails all set,
OF white, or gold, or violet,
Soft sailing, sailing, feet and fair,
The wide blue ocean of the air.
No freight it has, no pilot knows,
No chart can mark the way it goes,
The summer winds, by field and hill,
1t rides like running waves, until
1t lowers sail, at twilight hour,
And anchors softly in a flower.

 when they are in camp the na-
 tion's army will number over
 100000 men.
 The registration today apparently was attended by the perfect order that marked the enrolling of 10000 900 men.
 The men who registered today have become of'age since the first registra- tion day, June ,. 1917. Military au- thorities estimate that from their nun Der there will be had 750.O men fit for active duty.
 While an act of congress requires that the new registrants be placed at the bottom of the class to which they are assigned, many of them may soon be called to the colors, as today's upon governors probably will exhaust the first class in some states. While no formal explanation was made, this was believed to have been the reason why Arizona was not included in today's call.
 Registration days for men becoming 21 years of age probably will be fixed every three months hereafter. It is estimated that 100000 men become of age yearly and the new registrants are expected to go forward keeping up the first class in each state from which all men for the national army have been drawn.
 Assignments for the men called to the colors under today's order indi- cate the rapidity with which troops now are moving overseas. In nearly every instance the registrants under tcday's requisitiOn are assigned to national cantonments. whereas re- gently when calls were made. it was to send the men tO national guard. regular army and other camps. because the cantonments were filled.
