SMILES.
written for The Catholic Bulletin, By
Or. James Henderson,

A fool set out with load of smiles,
He peeped in windows and sat on
stiles
They say; strobe the road and shout
ed a wild:
Smiles for sale for man and child,
Old tame danes and the pouting
prudes;
I charge two prices for brainless
dudes
By night he'd sold them, kit and all.
Some high priced and others small,
And many he'd given complete, away.
A fool never haggles about his pay;
But he was rich when he laid his
head
On the pallet he chose to call his bed.
The fellow who trundled the kit next
day
A wise guy was, who plugged for pay,
And the dudes and prudes, the kids
and all
Gave wide berth as his wares he'd
call;
Which proves of course when the job
was done,
The fool was by far the wiser one.

THE BUSINESS DEAD.

Persons who have made a study of
the records of business mortalities re-
port that drug store which lives
eight years, lives longer than the aver
age enterprise in that line. Most jew
elry stores succumb in little less
than eight years. Clothing, shoe and
furniture stores have run their course,
as rule. inside of the seventh year.
The average grocery store does but
Slightly better

A SIGN or A THOROUGHBRED.

Nothing is so unmistakable sign
of good breeding as quiet, selt-pos-
sessed manner. The De CrOy family
of Belgium, one of the oldest and most
distinguished of Europe, evidently
sets great store" by this air of
TRANQUIL poise, as is the custom of the
men of this family to present their
brides with bracelets with the words,
"Du Calme," set in diamonds on the
gold circle, a perpetual reminder of
what is expected and required of the
women of the De Croys.
This calm air is not for use only
when life runs smoothly. The test OF
it is in the trying moments when
events conspire to try the soul and
test the courage. 1t was the d1stln-
gushing trait of the old French arts
tocracy in the days of the reign OF
terror in the French revolution. His
tory has no more thrilling, inspiring
chapter than that which depicts the
gallant bearing of the mobiles OF
France, men and women, in the pris-
ons and on the scaffolds.
Perhaps, however, it is more test
of character and training to maintain
this air of quiet poise in the smaller,
daily contretemps of life, as when
the maid drops the china, or the
dressmaker fails to deliver the new
gown in time for party, or the street
car goes without stopping for your
signal.
A smiling acceptance of the large
or small troubles or annOyances of
life is a sign of the thoroughbred.

LEGEND OF LIMERICK.

Once, after many years of the most
patient labor, young Italian rested
from a task that was well done He
had made a set of bells of the most
exquisite tone possible, and he felt
that his time had been wisely spent.
For long while he refused to part
with them, for they seemed to him
almost like living things. To sell
them, he said, would be the Same

DEATH OF FATHER LA TOUR.
"a Sad Actually at the Battle of the
Marne.)

Here's a true and touching story
From the verdant wales of France,
Drenched in brave blood, reeking CORY
Since the German hosts advance
In that clubhouse, near the village
Wrecked by wars relentless hell,
Hemmed all round in death and pill
age,
Here, Oh France! your bravest fell!
CAPTAIN Glover, in Deaths embraces,
Far from Kerry and loving care,
Feebly scans those plying faces
With a hankering dying stare.
Comrades brave, | fear I'm dying,
Cold and feeble grows my frame,
Nothing's gained by death defying,
Bring a priest here in Gods Name!"
All we're silent, well they knew it,
Close the Kaiser's Army stood.
And to get a chaplain through it
From the chapel near the wood,
Was a task so fraught with danger
For the courier and the priest,
That the bravest, boldest ranger
Dared not venture in the least.
At some distance from the speaker,
In a blood-soaked cloak of France,
Wounded too, and growing weaker
All from deaths approaching trance
Lies a young and heroic creature,
With the stamp of all that's best
On each finely moulded feature,
His identity all unguessed.
Io, the Frenchman turns to beckon;
Courage born of Faith sublime
Aids his 1eeting strength to reckon
He'll reach Glover's side in time.
Brother in Christ, shall I absolve
thee?
For a priest of God am /,
1t was He saw fit to call me
To your side before you die"
The Atheist doctor of the hospice
All unbending bars his way,
'None of your superstitious service
Can his pain or ache allay.
Don't press forward to disaster,
You can't help him in the least!
Mindful now, or death comes faster.
Then spoke up the soldier priest:
"Why, frail form of God-built plaster
Why lament DER moments, brief
AS the moments of my Master,
When He pardoned the dying thief
That peace of soul the dying hail
As dew to the dropping flower!
What if my efforts do curtail
My last remaining hour?"
Just this reminder of Gods truth
No further resistance was met,
Up from the ashes of misspent you'll
A flicker of Faith creeps yet.
Some few moments-all is over.
Side by side and hand in hand,
Heroic priest and gallant Glover
Pass away to a fairer land.
Such was the ending of Father Ii
Tour,
A mothers brave only born,
Seldom the greatest heroes, I'm sure
Our medals and crosses adorn!
Well boast of our men refusing t
yield,
Wen sing of our martgred dead,
Yet, the bravest man, on or off tn
field.
