WORDS OF POISON.

We met a little girl the other day
who was hurt to the heart because
another girl had slandered her, says
an exchange.
She had been guilty OF no wrong.
In her young womanhood, and with
the spirit of youth, she had done an
unconventional thing. That was all.
She hadn't even been indiscreet. She
was open, frank and honest. She had
no thought of wrong-doing. 1t does
not matter what she had done. We
give you our word there was no harm
in it. But another girl prompted By
jealousy, or just pure cussedness, had
magnified the unconventional thing
until others were led to see harm
in it.
Listen, little girl. AS you grow old
er you will find this very common
phase of meanness. 1t isn't peculiar
to our town. Oh, dear no! 1t thriyes
in all places. but especially in small
communities.
Now, don't eat your heart out about
it. Life is so full of real sin and real
/ tragedies that this little nurt is no
no more than a mosquito bite to the
jolts you'll get farther along.
When some girl says something
mean about you there are just two
things to do. Go straight to mother
and tell her about it before anybody
else gets chance and then-forget
it. But as long as you have mother
even after you are a wife, if anybody
ISLANDERS you, go and tell her. You
| never can out-grow your mother, and
| if God has spared you that greatest
of blessings, you'll always find her
counsel good. I'D. '-'-- ,,~.' .%.-,
Reams have been written protest
ing against this villainous practice OF
slandering girls, but still the venom
Gus practice continues.

FINDING HAPPINESS IN WORK.

Work is Gods greatest blessing to
man. Until you have learned to look
upon your work, not as curse, not
as drudgery, not as a treadmill which
you are compelled to turn laborieusly
every day, you cannot be really happy,
you are missing the best that is in
life, remarks Forbes Magazine.
No honest work need be drudgery,
whether it be sweeping streets, max
ing collars or painting famous pic
lures. .
Art is nothing but doing a thing in
the best way 1t can be done. " &
Each one of us can be an artist in
his or her work All we need do is put
our whole heart, our. whole enthusi-
asm, our whole souls, our whole talent
into doing it with the greatest care,
the greatest skill and the greatest eff
cheney we can command.
Until we do this we can be neither
successful nor contented, for Provi-
dence has ordained that, in order to be
happy, we must do the best and the
most we are capable OF.
Loafers, whether rich or poor, do
not know true happiness, do not know
the sense of satisfaction which comes
from work we'll done and done with a
will H.,
Whether we find pleasure in our
work or whether we find it a bore de-
pends entirely uoon our mental atti-
o.1~
itself.

THE ORIGIN OF THE CATHOLIC
CHURCH IN WEBSTER.

which is located in Day county, South
Dakota, is almost equivalent with that
of Webster City. The first settlers ar
rived in 1880. Amongst these pilgrims
Mr.. Louis Ochsenriter is conspicuous.
Regular services were of course not
held then but occasionally a priest ar
rived from Aberdeen Gather Haire)
or from Big Stone City Gather Her
midig). Both died long ago. After
Father Flanagan had pastorated the
places during a few summer months
of 1884, Father H. Mensing, then a
newly ordained priest, took possession
of Webster and attended for almost
II years, also to Greenville, Eden,
Frank, Fort Sisseton, Waubay, Bris-
tol, Andover, Groton, Langford, Brit
ton, Esterly and Summit.
Most of these visits were made by
teams and on freight trains. For the
first years Webster had not a church
and services were held in the parson-
age in which Bishop M. Marty, dead
now for many years, administered
candidates. The cornerstone for the
first Catholic Church in Webster was
laid by the Vicar General, later Bishop
and Archbishop D. D. Zardetti, in Sep
tember, 1888. The first Sisters to open
the Catholic school arrived in fall of
1898. About Is years later a good
school and Sisters residence were
opened. All those before mentioned
mission places are now pastorated by
II priests in the respective places and
quite a few of them have also erected
Catholic schools. Having pastorated
the congregation in Webster for 33
years, the health of Father Mensing,
who in the meantime in 1907 had been
appointed by the late Pope Plus X a
prelate of the Catholic Church with
the title of Monsignor, began to fail
from the many various obligations of
a large parish and Rev. Alex Buchler
was appointed administrator of the
parish, making Father Mensing pas
tor emeritus with his residence at
Webster. A growth of the parish is
visible. 1.-THE parish has at present
more than $50 families, the choir of
the Church which only sings really
Catholic music, makes progress from
day to day. Not the least honor for
this as also for the temporal progress
of the Church and school is due in the
highest degree to Mr.. Frank Nohr of
Webster.

WHEN THE GREAT GREY SHIPS
COME IN.

To eastward ringing, to westward
winging, DER mapless miles OF
sea.
On winds and tides the gospel rides
that the furthermost isles are
free, <.s.....'.
And the furthermost isles make an
swer, harDor, and height, and
hill,
Breaker and beach cry each to each,
"'Tis the Mother who calls !
Be still" ..s.
Mother! new-found, beloved, and
strong to hold from harm,
Stretching to these across the seas
the shield Of her sovereign arm
Who summoned the guns Of her sailor
sons, who bade her nayies roam,
Who calls again to the leagues of
main, and who calls them this
time Home. ;,<
And the great grey. ships are silent,
and the weary watchers rest,
The black cloud dies in the August
skies, and deep in the Golden
West
Invisible hands are thinning a glory Of
crimson bars,
And far above is the wonder of a
myriad wakened stars!
Peace! AS the tidings silence the
strenuous canonade,
Peace at last! is the bugle blast the
length of the long blockade,
And eyes Of vigil weary are lit with
the glad release,
From ship to ship and from lip to lip
it is Peace! Thank God for
peace" -
All, in the sweet hereafter Columbia
still shall show
The sons of these who swept the seas
how she bade them rise and
go
How, when the stirring summons
smote on her childrens ear,
South and North at the call stood
forth, and the whole land an
swered Here"
For the soul of the soldiers story and
the heart of the sailors song
Are all of those who meet their foes
as right should meet with
wrong,
Who fight their guns till the foeman
runs, and then, on the decks
they trod,
Brave faces raise, and give the praise
to the grace of their country's
God.
Yes, it is good to battle, and good to
be strong and free,
To carry the hearts Of people to the
uttermost ends of the sea,
To see the day steal up the bay where
the enemy lies in wait,
To run your ship to the harbor's lip
and sink her across the strait
But better the golden evening when
the ships round heads for home
And the long grey miles slip swiftly
past in a. swirl of seething
foam,
And the people wait at the haven's
gate to greet the men who win!
Thank God for peace! Thank God fol
peace, when the great grey
ships come in!
