THE FIGHTING BILLY

"Mr. A. B. Fenwick related to me
the particulars Of a battle of two In
dams, Is dogs and two horses with a
Billy goat that had wandered out upon
JOseph's Prairie, where Cranbrook, B.
c., now stands" says DR.. William T.
Hornaday in Boys Life. THE Indians
thought that with their horses and
dogs (but no guns they could cap
ture the goat alive. The goat thought
otherwise. A little later a squaw saw
that they were having a bad miXup,
and ran out to the Indians with a
rifle. One of them shot the goat
All but two of the dogs were killed
on the spot, or died very shortly. 1t
was with the greatest difficulty that
the Indians saved their horses from
getting punctured by those terrible
little horns.
1T is on record that a full-grown
grizzly bear was killed by full-grown
Billy goat while the bear was killing
him. The dead bodies Of the two were
found only a few yards apart.

CEL!BACY IN THE NAVY.

Heretofore it has been the law of
the American navy that no midship-
man shall marry until he has been
graduated from the naval academy at
Annapolis. The navy department has
now extended the time of marital pro-
hibition to a term of six years after
graduation This is a question of mil
itary discipline, and certainly the gov
eminent has right to enforce it, if
the authorities think thereby the eff
ficiency of our navy can be increased
The celibacy of the clergy, as en-
forced in the Latin portion of the Cath
Ollie Church, is also matter of dis
cipline Who can fail to admire the
magnificent strength of Church
which can command the lives of SO
many thousands of officers, to such
an extent that they voluntarily lay on
the altar Of her service their right to
marry, not merely for the time of their
sojourn at the ecclesiastical academy
or seminary, not for a term of six
years after graduation, but absolutely
and entirely until death.

HONORlNG PAULINE MARIE JARI-
COT.

On December IA, 1919. there took
place in the parish of st. Polycarpe,
Lyons, France, the celebration of the
first steps taken by Pauline Marie
sIariCOt toward the founding Of the
Society for the Propagation Of the
Faith. It was in Lyons that Mile. Jari-
cot and a few companions began col
lecting the humble offerings of piOus
Catholics and sending them to needy
missionaries. From an association OF
81 few persons, the society grew
through the century until it now
counts over three million members,
and its achievements are we'll known
in every land.
In 1890, by the order Of Mgr. Foulon,
Archbishop of Lyons, the heart of
Mile. Jaricot was deposited in the
chapel of St. Francis Xavier, Church
of St. Polyearpe, in order to remind
posterity that the Propagation of the
Faith Society was inaugurated in this
parish. There is reason to believe
that it's foundress will soon be ven
Grated on our affairs as a saint.

GIVE AFRICA 4 THOUGHT.

Bishop Frederick, Vicar Apostolic
Of West Nigeria, with residence at
Asaba, writes:
"TOday perhaps, more than at any
time in the history Of Catholic mis-
siOns to the pagan, the question of
catechists has a very special would
say very vital Importance.
"This is particularly the case in mis-
sOnary countries such as West Africa
where the lives of European mission
aries are generally of very short dura-
ton. and where unfavOrable climatic
conditions render it literally impossi-
BILE for the white man to do anything
like the same amount of work he can
accomplish in healthier countries.
For years to come the missionaries
available for Africa will be necessarily
very much restricted. In the face Of
such a very regrettable state of af-
fairs, the labOrers in the mission field
are obliged to rely more and more on
trained native helpers. Such auXili-
aries drawn from the teeming masses
whom we are endeavOring to evangel-
iZe understand the mentality of their
own countrymen far better than the
average missionary, and they speak
the numerous languages with a facil-
ity unattainable by foreign mission
aries after years Of patient, painstak-
ing application. They are also fully
conversant with the multifarious COM
plicated customs and usages which
play such very important part in the
daily lives of their own people,

LlNcOLN's DAILY GOOD TURN.

1T was his custom in those days to
go back and forth between the White
House and the telegraph Office of the
War Department to get frst-hand
news of military movements and bat
ties" says Ida Tarbell writing Of
''Lincoln-True Scout" in Boys Life.
Sometimes, when g eat struggles
were going on, he would sit for hours
reading the yellow sheets as they
came off Of the telegraph instrument.
They were terrible days for him, but
not so terrible that he could. forget
those about him and their needs.
The grounds of the White House
were open in those days, and soldiers
who happened to be in Washington,
particularly those that were con-
valescing from wounds, used to go
there to sit on the benches under the
trees. Again and again, particularly
if they they were looking downcast, a
tall man would sit down and talk to
them. He had a kindly smile, and
lonely soldier would soon tell him his
story. Every now and then there
turns up in some part Of this country
z Little white card that this tall
friendly man had given to a soldier
v,lcm lie found sitting on a bench in
TIE White House grounds.
II have seen a check for five dollars
made out this way: Pay to colored
man with one leg and signed, A.
Lincoln
''The colored man with one leg did
not know to whom he was talking until
he saw the signature."

THE CHlLDREN'S HOUR.
OLD FRIAR'S AMBITION is REAL!
lied AT LAST.

An old friar, clad in the rough,
brown habit of st. Francis, stood con-
templating an artists easel upon
which was stretched canvas of vir-
Gin whiteness In his hands he held
palette and brushes, while look,
almost of despair, was upon his face.
All, how he wanted to paint-to paint
with the fire and spirit which had
once animated him, but which, as old
age. crept upon him, was slowly dying
out like the last rays of candle flick
ering in its socket.
One last picture he sighed;
would that I could paint but one
more, and that of the Divine Infant
Jesus, with which to honor this glori-
Gus Christmas-tide.'
Slowly his brushes were laid aside
and his fingers instinctively sought the
rosary which hung from his cord. He
looked up as the door opened and a
little lad, clad in the garb Of a shep-
herd stood before him.
do not be discouraged, Brother"
said the boy voice fraught with sweet
ness. IF you wish, [ will pose for
you, and with the help of the Virgin,
perhaps, you may be able to achieve
the holy desire of your heart
Eagerly the Brother seized his
brushes and touched the canvas, and
as he worked his surroundings seemed
to fade from view, everything being
lost in the radiance of the face of the
shepherd lad. 1t was as though he
painted on air, but there before him
was a picture-his ideal of all that
was good and beautiful.
Peace, Little Master he cried in
ecstacy, as he viewed his work, who
are you?" And the lad made an
swer: Il am the Prince of Peace, the
Infant Jesus, and unto you who have
loved Ne SO much will give Ny Par
adise.'

EDUCATION.

So far, in Asia and Africa, whatever
education the natives have received
has been the result of teaching given
by Christian mission schools, these
schools being almost wholly supported
by voluntary contributions from Eu-
rope and America.
Now, the Governments of those
countries are assuming more respon-
sibility, recognizing that the natives
are reused to the need of learning.
But in the main, missionaries still
conduct and see to the upkeep of edu-
cational institutions and their burden
in this direction is a heavy one. No
progress in the missions, can be made
without educational facilities-all the
missionaries are agreed on this point.
Rev. Joseph Merkens, of Surigao,
P. l., says that the children of his
parish are praying every day that ben
efactors may send money to build a
good school.
Sister Marie Romuald of the Lifuka
Mission, Central Oceanica, writes that
children come to their school from far
and near, and many of them have to
be lodged for the night. The present
school house is wholly inadequate and
q new building, commodious enough
to shelter all who apply is needed at
once
From Dahomey, Africa, Father Fa-
roud, L. AT. NJ, calls for assistance
in opening schools that shall COM
pete with those of the Protestants.
And SO on, from all parts of the mis-
sion world comes. the cry for means
to further the cause Of education.

DANIEL WEBSTER AS A BOY.

When Daniel Webster enter Phil
lips Academy at Exeter, New Hamp-
shire, he was an awkward country boy,
and was placed at the foot Of the low
est class in school The higher class
boys were inclined to make fun of the
poor little boy in homespun. but Dan
lei took very little notice Of this treat
mont. He applied himself to study
and soon rose to. the head Of his class.
Finallysshe was promoted with great
honors to the highest class in the
room. One day the teacher said aloud
in the school: Daniel Webster, take
your books and stand up, sir Dan
iel obeyed, and the kind old man con
tinued: Leave the room and go into
a higher class. Boys, say goodbye to
him, for you will never overtake him. -
They never did overtake him. He
went through college, became a law
yer and orator, a United States Sen
ator, and the eXpounder Of the Ameri
can Constitution.

HELP EDUCATE NATIVE PRIESTS.


The Jestlfts are in the Bengal mis-

sion matters.
