ScHOoLDAYS IN IRELAND.

Many years have passed since l lisped
Our Lady's name
In a far-off city schoolhouse well
known as Notre Dame,
Where before little altar the chill
dren came to pray
To her, who's known in every cline
Our Lady Queen of May.
We gathered for that precious shrine
such flowers as could be found
And plucked the hawthorne bushes,
which scented all around, |
While above us warbling sweetly in
the clear, blue, Irish sky
Were the black bird and the hnnet and
the lark SO loud ON high.
The Brothers were our teachers; how
can / e'er forget
The interest that they took in us; |
think see them yet
With their happy, smiling faces and
their earnest winning way
AS they solved our knotty problems or
Joined us in our play
Twas there we learned of Ireland's
awful struggle for the right
To worship God as she knew how de-
spite the tyrant's might; 8

So. Brendan and Finbar,

"HONOR THY FATHER"

Boys, when you speak of your father
don't call him "the old man" Of
course you are older now than when
you were taught to call him father.
You are much smarter than you were
then, you are much more manly look
ing, your clothes fit you better, your
hat has modern shape and your hair
is combed differently. Your father
has a last years coat, a two-year-old
hat and vest of still older pattern.
He can't write such an elegant note
as you can and all that, but don't call
him 1.-The old man." Call him father
He has given the best years of his
life to promote your welfare. He loves
you as much now as he ever did,
though he goes along without saying
much about it. Therefore be not I'M
grateful. Treat him kindly and
brighten his declining years

WINGED that the waste of life lies in
the love we have not given, the pow

which, Sinking pain, misses happiness
as well. No one ever yet was the
poorer in the long run for having once
in lifetime ''let out all the length of
the reins. Mary ChOlmOndeley.

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR,
THE TRAPPED SQUIRREL.

There was quite stir among the
woodland folks. Billy Gray Squirrel
had disappeared and no one could lind
him.
I'm quite sure Billy never harmed
any one in his life" sobbed Mamma
Gray Squirrel why should they wish
10 harm him."
Few folks ever stop to weigh
things that way" exclaimed Daddy
GRAY Squirrel. But l don't see why
any one would want to catch him."
why, for his pretty fur, if for no
other reason" cried Johnny Skunk,
who happened along in time to hear
what Daddy Gray Squirrel had to say.
Il think it's high time to stop this
highway robbery, and | mean to be
the one to do it, It's that old, red
whiskered man who lives in the little
tumbledown house at the foot OF the
hill. He's been after my hide for
long time"
"But YOU won't hurt him, please,
begged Mamma Gray Squirrel. Re
turn good for evil, you know, is the
motto of our tribe"
"Oh, never worry" laughed Johnny
Skunk. Il never bite unless in self
defense, but | have ruined seVeral
suits of clothes for him.
OF course, at this every one Laughed
and Mamma Gray Squirrel wiped her
eyes with her bushy tail and bid
Johnny Skunk goodbye.
Johnny Skunk ran down the little
path. being very careful not to get his
paws or tail caught in a hidden trap,
until he reached the old mans hut.
A light streamed through the win
dow, and Johnny Skunk could see the
old mans shadow as he passed before
The window and door.
Outside the rain began to fall in a
slow. cold drizZle, and Johnny Skunk
almost wished he hadn't undertaken
the lob, when the old man stepped out
the door with a bucket in his hand
and went to the well.
Quick as a flash Johnny Skunk
Jumped to the doorstep, and sat there
quietly until the old man with the
bucket of water returned. When he
spied Johnny Skunk sitting in his
doorway he stopped and yelled at the
top of his voice, but Johnny Skunk
only moved farther inside the door
way SO the rain wouldn't fall on him.
Go on away, you rascal" cried the
old man. Cant you see I'm soaked
to the skin and almost frozen" and
the old man shivered in his shirt
sleeves.
rs that all?' asked Johnny Skunk
with merry chuckle. Suppose you
were caught in a trap by your leg, how
would you feel then? I'll not go away
until you promise to take up every
trap you have in these woods. Just
think of the harm l could do you if
| wanted to. Ruin your clothes, house
and everything, so you'd have to
move. But I'll not harm you. Perhaps
good soaking out in the rain will
help you. Do you promise?"
By this time the old man was shiv-
ering down to his toes, and he readily
promised.
He went over to a little box that
stood under a tree and opened the
door, and out jumped Billy Gray SPUR
rel.
Run home, both of you," cried the
old man. ''I'l never harm one of you
again. Folks that are wronged and
still return good for evil deserve their
freedom"
Johnny Skunk and Billy Gray SPUR
rel never stopped until they reached
Mamma and Daddy Gray Squirrel and
told the glad news to every one.
The old man never forgot his prom
Use, and now he's the best friend the
woodland denizens have.

War conditions have been re- sponsible for the development of many forms of graft in the United States. Investigation has disclosed the presence of a great variety of swindlers in our country, from the petty grafter to organizations of great wealth and influence which have sought to enrich themselves at the expense of the American public. Hundreds of indictments have been returned against individuals and the heads of contracting firms, charging them with frauds of various kinds, and many of the offenders are now serving time for their of- lenses. A much larger number, however, it is safe to state have gotten away with their gratis, un- punished and in many instances, un- exposed.
 Among the more recent eases brought to the attention of the pub lie is that of the Postal Telegraph Cable company. whose business was taken over by the government soon after we entered the war. This comparJ B accused by Postmaster General Bur- on, of camouflaging it's pre-w 4 receipts in an effort to secure from e government com pensatio, .reatly in excess of the amount the p, ,tmaster-general be- lic> es the conc Tn should receive.

LAPS OF HONOLULU
 TAKING TO COUNTRY

HONOLULU.-Japanese of the second generation in Hawaii are be- coming Americanized so rapidly that within 90 years Japanese language schools in the territory will cease to exist because of lack of at- tendance.
 This was the prediction made here recently by Bishop F.. Imamura who, as head of the Hongwanji Mission (Buddhistl work, directs most of the Japanese schools in the islands.
 Bishop Imamura stated that Jap anese school children almost with out exception prefer to read the English dailies rather than the Jap anese, four of which are now pub lished in Honolulu, and that they dislike to study Japanese because it is much more difficult to learn than English.
 The population of Hawaii is esti' mated at about 240,OO0, of which approximately 97,OOO are japanese It is predicted that within twe.ely years Japanese, born in Hawaii ano therefore American citizens, wil form a majority of the aterritoria electorate. This is the opinion ot former Governor L. E. Pinkham.

AMARILLO, Texas.-The people of Amarillo are preparing for a permanent" loss of an hour of day light under the recent order of the interstate commerce commission readjusting the divisions of stand ard time. Under the commission $ order, Amarillo, which has been in Central time, will be placed in mountain time. The change by which clocks will be set back an hour, was made on January 1.
 The change placed the Amarillo's s clocks more nearly in accord with the sun. Previously the clocks were 45 minutes ahead of sun time, but when Mountain time became effect i've, the clocks are only 15 minutes behind the sun.

GOVERNMENT IS
 ERECTING PLANT
 FOR BY-PRODUC1S

CORDOVA.-Work is being push ed on the construction of a United States government by-product plant on the Pribiloff Islands for the manufacture of oil and fertilizer from the carcasses of seals killed for their skins.
 Reports received here last sum- mer said it was hoped operations could begin this year. All the men at the government sealing station on the islands were working on the plant.
 Carcasses of approximately 27,OOO seals killed this past year on St. Paul Island, one of the pr.biloffs, will furnish ample material for the preliminary operations of the plant.
 In all, 33,831 skins were taken last year during the regular killing season on the two islands, St. Paul and St. George. The season ended August 10. During the remainder of the year a few seals were killed to furnish fresh meat for the natives.
 The United States treasurer has already been enriched this year by products of the Pribiloffs. Nearly a thousand bags of unground and 321 bags of ground bone from St. Paul Island were sent to Seattle and sold. Eighty-four sheep hides from the islands also were sent to the States and disposed of. From the proceeds of the bone sales, the natives were paid one-half cent a pound for gathering the bones.

to the postoffice department, that their net operating income for the same period had been in excess of
 $4,0O0,000. In their report to the Interstate Commerce commission the company charged more than $2,000,000 for depreciation, and in the information furnished the de- partment, the charge for deprecia- tion during the same period was placed at slightly more than S400,- GOO. Reports, equally conflicting, were submitted for the year 1917; one report evidently having been manufactured for the purpose of evading taxation, and the later one for the purpose of securing a larger compensation from the gov ernment.
 ''It will be seen", said Postmaster General Burleson, in statement made public recently" that when the land line companies composing the Postal Telegraph Gable company reported their net operating reven- ues for the year 1916 to be $332,- 343, and for the year 1917 to be that the department could not yield to their demands that they be paid s3,800,o00 and inter- est as just compensation, and therefore awarded what it believed to be just compensation in view of all the facts before it, and re- Quested the company to bring suit in the Court of Claims to establish what compensation it was entitled to, and stated that we would aid them in every way possible In do- ing so.

KULTUR, WHERE ART THOU?

What of the "kultur" of which we have heard so much during the past several years of strife? Freed from the bondage of an opppres- sive rule and given an opportunity to start afresh as a free and self governed nation, the people of Ger many appear to be incapable of ad- iusting themselves to the new con ditions, made possible for them by the success of the Allied arms and the elimination of the former kaiser. Self government, seemingly, IS as much of a problem for them as it is for the people of Russia, who have been almost hopelessly upset by the former German government.
 With the picture of Russia before them, to warn them of the dangers of Reorganization, it should be easy for the Germans to steer their sal vaged ship of state past the shoals But they appear unable to penetrate the camouflage of self-appointed leaders who have engaged in a san guinary struggle for control, with hn hot hn- coming rapidly chaotic.
 It begins to look as if it would become necessary, and very soon, for the Allies to assume full charge in Germany for the purpose of fore ing the people of that war-torn country to discontinue hostilities among themselves long enough to formulate new set of rules for future guidance, along democratic lines. If left to themselves it may soon be said of Germany, as it has already been said of Russia, that there is no Germany. What was once a unified government, sup posedly advanced in the ways of civilization, and strong in patriotism, will lapse into a vast disorganized aggregation of local governments, sans head, sans purpose. sans sense.
