In the muscles of the bigger Bills
bare arm.
Twas a big big lobster and big big
bite;
Twas by far the biggest yell Bill
ever gave.
And the big big shock made the little
dory rock,
Splitting Holsters, pots, and both Bills
in the wave.
The. airplane scared by and into the
distance flew
Till it soon was but little tiny speck
While the lobster hunters bold, the
young one and the old,
Were the center of one beautiful big
wreck.
They foundered around, they splash

Till eventually they climbed into theil

They should not have fallen out, o.
that there is no doubt,
But let Bill point out the moral of this
story.

SHE WOULD NEVER SAY PLEASE.

There was once a small child who
never would say please,
l believe, if you even went down on
your knees.
But, her arms on the table, would
sit at her ease,
And call to her mother in words such
as these:
81 want some potatoes!" "Give me
some peas!"
Hand me the butter!" "Cut me some
cheese!"
So the fairies, this very rude daugh-
ter to tease,
Once blew her away in a powerful
breeze
Over the mountains and over the
seas,
To valley, where never a dinner she
sees,
But, down with the ants, the wasps
and the bees;
In the woods she must live until she
learns to say please.
M. S. p. In St. Nicholas.

Catholic is present then with beau
tiful, patroniZing air, he or she is in
formed by the gracious host or hos
tess, or whoever 1t may be, "Why, we
had a maid once. and she was an ex-
cellent Catholic" That is meant to
be about as complimentary as saying,
1--WE had horse once, and he was a
Catholic"
Truly the Church has had amongst
her most loyal, amongst her most de-
vout, and amongst her most holy per-
sons, those in the honorable station OF
household servants. The record OF
their deeds is with God. Even on
earth they have been wonderful as
set to the Church, and have often been
powerful in bringing many to the
light of Faith. But that is not the
point of the argument The attitude
of many outsiders of our own Church
is that Catholics have no right to be
| anything but servants; that it is pre-
sumption to be anything else but serv
| ants.
| Unfortunately, some amongst oul
own who have mounted on the bodies
of the lowly have cashed in theil
own prominence to see to it that theil
| fellow Catholics go no higher. This
was slant of Catholic politicians tina
was a great scandal to their people
in America. In some queer fashion i
(, is resented that a Catholic shoult
have social, professional or financia
position. There must be some mys
terry in it. He ought to still be living
behind the yards" and be eating
corn beef and cabbage. If by chance
a Catholic is appointed to an outstand
ing public position, it is somewhat ii
the nature of seven day wonder. HI
might, as mere dole, be given SOM
job as an understrapper, but that h
should be the justice of the Suprem
Court, a member of the cabinet, fol
eign ambassador, if not miraculous
is, at least, mysterious.
However, this must ultimatel
change, because in spite of the nal
row sectarian atmosphere, Catholic
are coming into their own. They ar
leaving the ranks of the professions
politician, thank Heaven, and they ar
becoming a part and parcel of tn
great constructive forces in America
They may suffer from snobbish igno1
ance, but their ability, aided by tn
moral background of their Faith, wi,
not be denied.

HOW JACK RECOVERED HIS
WHISTLE.

Somehow his whistled tune could
not be kept going.
Jack tried it several times but was
forced to give it up and trudge along
in silence. For the first time since
he had so proudly signed the Junior
Red Cross membership roll at school,
he was doubling whether he could
serve as he knew the other pupils
would serve in the few remaining
days until Christmas.
Jacks school had decided to play
Santa Claus to all the boys and girls
in town who otherwise might find
Christmas a time for tears instead of
laughter. Carrots, attics, and closets
were to be searched for discarded
toys and these were to be restored
to their original freshness and given
to those children who might not be on
the calling list of the good st. Nicho-
las. Dolls were to have new dresses,
top horses were to shine anew in
the brightest of paint and varnish.
AS for Jack, his home boasted nei-
Their garnet nor cellar nor cherished
nook wherein boyish treasures might
be stored. He and his mother lived
in a single room over the little store
where his mother sold pencils, tab
lets and lolly-pops to the school chill.
dren. And Jack had no old toys to
give away Small wonder that he
could not get his whistle in good
working order!
Next morning when he swept out
the store for his mother, he found
among the sweepings a half dozen
small pine boxes and some large
spools. Jack bounced upon them with
cry of delight. He carried his prize
to the shop of his old friend, the car
renter, and there he spent every pre-
cious moment he could snatch between
errands and after school.
Finally the day came on which thu
| toys that were to bring Christmas
ioy to all the children of the village
were to be taken to school by the
Junior Red Cross children. Whel
Jacks name was called, his cheek
flushed as he marched proudly vi
the aisle, his arms piled high witt
the gayest, shiniest little wagons il
all that great stack of playthings 81
dear to the hearts of children. Tn
| teacher then asked the boys and girl
to tell the story of his or her contri
button to the community Christina
planned by the Juniors, and jack
story of the toy wagons he had mad
in the shop of his old friend, the Cal
penter, was applauded most of all.
That evening he whistled every ste
of the way home, and skipped alon
as though his feet were as light as nj
heart.

MAY WOMEN ADAPT THEMSELVES
To POLITICS?

Some twenty-five years ago the
writer defended in classroom essay
the proposition that female suffrage
had become reasonable and expedient,
on account of the large number of
women that are otherwise occupied
than in the home. Time and observa
tion have strengthened him in that
opinion, writes DR.. John A. Ryan.
That woman's true and permanent
place is the home, and that her duties
as homemaker are so engrossing and
so remote from political problems as
to make her much less apt than man
to acquire political knowledge or ca
pacity are propositions that will al
ways be true of the wives, mothers
and daughters whose time is devoted
to domestic occupations. With rea-
sonable amount of effort they can,
however, learn enough about the more
concrete political and civic matters to
provide the basis for fairly intelli-
gent exercise of the voting privilege.
They can make themselves fairly we'll
acquainted with those public prob
lens, situations, and projects which
affect the home and morals
And their instincts in this province
are sounder than the instincts of men.
AS regards the more abstract politi-
cal issues, they will probably vote in
the same way as their husbands, ia
theirs and brothers, thus doing neither
more good nor harm to the public veal
than the latter.
On the other hand, the millions of
women who have gone, for longer or
shorter periods, into professional, in
dustrial or commercial occupations
will have the same interest in the
politics of domestic and moral ques
tons as their sisters of the house
hold, and in addition will be imme
diately and vitality concerned with
those political proposals which affect
their own gainful occupations. The
conditions surrounding and affecting
women who work for wages are fal
from satisfactory. For the majority
neither the remuneration, the hours
of labor nor the sanitation and safety
are up to the standard required by
uGCGuCy, dIlu
Most of the measures necessary to re
move these abuses will have to come
through legislation.
Owing to their intimate and practi
cal connection with these problems
wage-earning women are, in position
to understand most of them, quite a!
well as men, and some of them yer.
much better. After all, one of thu
fundamental Qualifications of democ
racy is the fact that the members o
every social or industrial class under
stand certain of their own needs BET
ter than do the members of any othe
class The principle is strikingly tru
of wage-earning women.

LEARNED MONK FIRST TO WEAR
SPEcTACLES.

We have to go to Italy to locate the
grave of the man who first struck the
idea of aiding his failing eyesight with
two lenses attached in front of his
eyes by two wires hooking on behind
his ears. His name was Spina. He
was a learned monk who lived in
Florence. While at work on beau
tifully illuminated missal, in 1885
his eyesight grew dim, and, in
