Character and Obedience.

Character is grounded on obedience.
All the human de.olicts stranded on
the rocks of life came to wreck be-
cause of continued diSobedience to the
chart Of right living. Wrecked lives
are directly chargeable to the parents,
who did not compel obedience during
the formative period Of childhood. In
sistence on course of action lays the
foundation for obedience during in
fancy but as soon as the child de-
velops reasoning power something
more than mere insistence Is needed to
develop obedience.
Parental commands are laws which
rule the domain of childhood and, like
the laws Of Il nation, they are oheyed
In the degree that they are believed to
be reasonable and just. The child Is u
rational human being, however much
we may ignore his capacity for reason,
and our commands must be founded on
reason If we are TO expect reasonable
compliance with them.-Mother's Mag
aZine.

FIERCE WAR OVER ELEPHANT
People of Siam and pegu Contended
for Generation to Secure Pos
session of the Animal.

Believing that Buddha lived again
in the body of a white elephant, de-
vastating war was fought in the six
teenth century between Siam and Pegu
for possession of the unhandsome an
lmal. For a generation the struggle
continued, and in it five kings came to
the throne, only to die together with
thousands of their subjects. A white
elephant is exceedingly rare, but Is sim
ply an albino and by no means snow
colored. In 1883 Barnum, not from Il re-
ligiOus motive, brought one from ST.
nm at cost of 100000.
Frequent mention is made of elc-
plants in the history of ancient wars.
The Roman armies fled Mt their first APP
pearance in their early conflicts with
the Carthaginlans, but by the use Of
torches soon learned to break up a
charge of the huge beasts. AlcEan-
der encountered them in his Conquest
of Asia.
The elephant looks stupid and his
brain is small for his size, only as
large as mans, but it is highly de-
veloped. and few animals are more In
telliEent. They are used as beasts Of
burden in India, where they are regard
ed with superstitious awe by their
drivers.

TAKING OF CHURCH BELLS
DENOUNCED AS SACRIFICE.
THE taking away of our bells is sac
rilege,' declares Cardinal MERCER in
protesting against the recent order OF
the Germans requiring that bells and
organs in churches in Belgium be seiz-
ed in order That they may be melted up
to make munitions for tie German
army.
The bell announced your confirm
ton, your communion, your maria e,
and 1t weeps over your dead" he con
tinues. 1T associates its prayers with
all the great memories, happy and un-
happy, of our cou ltrv.
"ln the name of the liberty Of the
church, in the name of the sanctity OF
Catholic worship, in the name Of inter.
national law, we condemn and rep.ove
the seizure Of the bells and organs of
our churches We forbid our clergy
and the faithful Of our diocese tl help
in removing them: we refuse to accept
the price of the sacred objects which
are torn from us by force"

MUCH EXTRAVAGANCE IN PENS
Have Written Twelve Million
Words With One.

'For two years." announces one Of
those eccentric persons who make a
business of collecting strange and star
Ting facts, "Thackeray did all his writ
ing with one pen, which also served
him for writing two novels. Oliver
Wendell Holmes used a gold pen for
more than thirty years, during which
he wrote 100000 words"
That, we may consider, is genuine
pen conservation, and it may be typical
of a general economy that was far
more prevalent in the days of Thack-
cray and Holmes than it is today OBJ
serves q writer in the Providence
Journal. Pens in the last quarter CEN
fury have come to be rather lightly es-
teemed by most persons who find n
continual use for them. One throws
away an old pen and puts new one
I'm the penhOlder with little thought Of
the potential waste. A gold pen, of
course, is exceptionally durable, as
rule, but the one that performed serv-
ice for Doctor Holmes for more than
thirty years must have been n marvel.
Anyway, it was obviously Il far better
one than the one that served Thack
cray for only two years. His was prob
ably an old-time quill pen, but even
then quill pen that would last
through the writing of two novels as
extensive as those produced by Thack-
cray must be regarded with profound
respect.
This economy in the use of writing
utensils seems awe-inspiring today. In
the past ten years we personally have
knocked out two typewriters and have
started on our third and in that time
have probably turned out less than
half the number of words that Doctor
Holmes produced with his little old
gold pen. And when you come to think
of the comparative values of the words
the reflection becomes positively hui
initiating.

HOME CIRCLE COLUMN.

What is needed is, that at home
and at school, our girls are taught
that to shine in social circles or to
roll in wealth is not the highest aim
of womanhood. But let them be
taught to make the home joyful and
happy, and yet be prepared, if neces-
sary, for life's bitterest struggles,
Let them understand thoroughly the
details of everyday life, the value
of all kinds of commodities used
daily. how to make a check, draft,
note and receipt. Let them be told
the truth about themselves and about
the world. They should know some
thing about the snares and pitfalls
that beset them.

 This pledge, signed by a wealthy farmer of Lisco, Morrill, County, indi- cates how pro-Germans are being treated in Nebraska these days. The story as it is told in the Bridgeport paper follows:
 Yesterday was a busy day for the Council of Defense. Three persons ap- peared before the board, after being summoned by Sheriff Dyson, to res pond to charges of being disloyal to the Government of the United States. The meeting was held at the offices of e. J. Hunt, chairman, and was attend ed by members of the council and county sitting committee.
 Harry T. Dudden, of Lisco. was the first to be examined The charge against him was made by s. G. Chen ey, of Lisco, the complaint being that Dudden had refused to make any do- nation to patriotic work and had torn American flags from his automobile that had been placed thereon by patri- otic workers of Lisco, and had been guilty of pro-German statements. Five witnesses from Lisco besides Cheney testified against Dudden. After the witnesses had told their story, Dudden made a statement his own behalf. He admitted plainly that he sympa- thized with Germany in this war, and did not agree with the war purposes of the United States.
 Upon being questioned further, he admitted that he had property worth approximately twenty-five or thirty thousand dollars, but claimed he owed about twelve thousand dollars. This

One witness from Angora stated that the general sentiment in that commun' ity was that MT. Glau was not loyal to the Government, or words to that eff feet, and the hearing was continued to a day next week when the complaining witness will be summoned and fur ther hearing will be had.
 "The work of the Council of Defense will go on. No one will be persecuted but pro-German sympathizers will be vigorously prosecuted to the full ex tent of the councils powers. No one is too wealthy or too powerful to re ceive attention where complaints are made against him, yet all will be pro tected where they are innocent.
