TOOK NO CHANCE ON GHOSTS.

There was a colored labor outfit in
the S. O. s. engaged in quarry work
near a base port. A few weeks ago,
in the course of opening up some new
ground, they discovered an old Roman
burying ground with many skeletons,
coins and relics. The find made quite
an impression on the minds of the find
ers, and there were many speculations
as to whether the shades of the de-
parted DICTIONARIES still lowered around
in the vicinity of their last resting
place The general opinion was that
man ought to be on his guard when
out late at night.
About that time the sum of 60 francs
disappeared from the counter Of a
nearby Y. Nj. c. A. hut. The captain
of this outfit doesn't know great deal
about classroom psychology, but he
has learned lot about it in the field.
He called his outfit together one night
in the hut and told them of the dis
appearance of the money. Then he
outlined the history and characteris-
tics of the old Romans.
Boys" he said, there was one
thing a Roman hated worse than any
thing else, and that was thief. If
the ghosts of those old fellows who
were buried up there on the hill should
learn that somebody in this outfit had
so francs in his pocket, don't know
just what would happen. I'm going to
put my hat here on the table and turn
out the lights. The guilty man will
know what to do"
There was quite a shuffling of feet
and milling around in the hut, and
then all was quiet When the captain
turned on the lights again and looked
in the hat he found not only the &C
francs, but 800 more, and a few odd
centimes for good measure.

THE CHlLDREN'S HOUR.
THE STEEPLE BELL.
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
DR.. James Henderson,

The little bell under the steeple
1t has most vibrant tongue
AS the cross casts it's form on the
pavement,
All, high DER the houses tbs flung.
The call to the Mass where, awaiting,
The musical sound of it's knells
And glad is the rhythm resounding,
And sweet is the story it tells.
1t travels by glens and by crossroads,
Meanders DER fields that are sweet,
And carols away to lone hillsides
AS ringing aloft DER the street.
The little bell under the steeple,
The bell whose reverbrance is prayer
AS, echoing, echoing, ever, it
Floats on the reverent air.
The silver bells under the steeple,
The cross ever looming above,
The chancel bell voicing beneath it,
The fat of an infinite love.
And when the sun kisses at even
1t all in it's passing farewell
And vesper is sung-Ah, how golden
In memory, too, is that bell
The little bell under the steeple,
The steeple so olden in dreams,
The web-spun, dry timbers reVerbrant;
Low echoes the float DER it's beams
Re-echo as, long in monday
1t did in the charmed long ago
When parents first babe us to listen,
When first it rang over the snow.

So you're back from the front, have

Of the old Sixty-ninth of New York?

And some came from County Cork.

across
Don't worry, tradition held true,
For-they fought on four sectors along

They were fighting men. They were
Irish too.

first men fell,
At the Rouge Bouquet, where their
poet sang.
last big drive.
And the Irish climbed the parapet.
Champagne, where the cry of "Chal-
ons. Chalons!"
BY the fighting Sixty-ninth was met,
Flat on their bellies and playing their
guns
On the horGed masses of shouting
Huns;
And the Irish fought on the parapet,
And the foe went back, and they're
back there yet!
At the River Ourcq, where the recall"
blew
When the big guns couldn't keep up
the pace,
At the River Ourcq, yes the recall"
blew,
But the doughboys went on in the en-
emy's face;
On the farm, where for days they
fought,
Climbing the hill and its blood stained
side,
At the Meury Ferme, where their poet
fell,
Living his song in the death he died.
In st. Mihiel, with the foe in rout
And the Irish dined on their sauer-
kraut;
And then at Verdun, for heroic weeks,
Pushing them back over valleys and
creeks.
If they ask in New York for the regi-
ment,
You can saw there was fighting Wher-
ever they went,
Though they won't come back, not all
the same,
For they lost lot, yet they left a
fame.
So, don't worry, lad, tradition held
true:
They were splendid men They were
Irish too.

MAILS In LARGE NUMBERS

With the shipping of two purebred
dairy bulls to the University of Idaho
at Moscow, an experiment which will
be watched with interest by cattle
breeders was started by the Dairy
Division of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture in cooperation
with the university These two bulls
one a Holstein and one Jersey, will
be used with the university herds in
an experiment to determine the best
method of fixing and insuring the
uniform transmission of high pro-
duction in dairy cattle.
According to thes rather unique
Idaho, the Dairy Division will furnish
the bulls to be used in the expert
ments, while the university is to sup
ply the cows for the herds, not less
than IL cows being required for each
herd. The expenses of feeding and
caring for the animals will be borne
by the university, and accurate rec
ords will be made and supplied
to the Dairy Division on the pro-
duction of milk, butter-fat test, date
of calving, etc., of all dams and
daughters of the herd.
