SIMPLE HONESTY.

In beautiful valley of the "Hunt
Valais" tourists often love to stroll
from the great hotel to the quaint lit
tie village around. One day an Eng
lish lady lost valuable gold brooch,
and after searching for it in vain all
through the village where she had
walked about, the thought occurred to
her to ask the priests help. She told
him to let his people know that who
ever would find the trinket and restore
it should have a reward. The good
pastor replied: mo, madam, no re-
ward is needed: they would be sur
prised at it and it would spoil their
native honesty. In these mountains
the people are still simple and un-
spoiled. / shall ask them to look for
it, and doubtless they will succeed, but
please, no reward! 1t would be an
evil!'
Two days after the brooch was
found by a little shepherd boy and
brought to the priest, who returned it
to the lady.
This latter contented herself by
dropping an offering into st, Antfony's
box, which was in the little village

SPAIN AND IRELAND CLOSE
FRIENDS FROM THE EARLIEST
~ AGES.

Spain and Ireland were intimately
associated from the earliest ages.
One of our oldest traditions tells that,
having wandered from the Central
East across Southern Europe in search
of Innisfail, their promised Isle of Des-
tiny, the sons of Milesius and their
followers "set sail in their good ships
CALAMITY from the sunny land of
Spain," and landed on the Irish shore
to subdue De Danaan magic and con-
quer the country, says the Irish Week
ly of Belfast. 1t is certain that Irish
commerce with Spain was extensive
long before the coming of St. Pat
rick. A thousand years after the adj
vent of the National Apostle, Irish
eyes were turned to Spain again, and
the relations between the two coun-
tries were close and friendly-as sew
eral Irish ecclesiastical and educa-
tional foundations of the period still
remind the world.

of Hugh Roe O'Donnell and other
chiefs of his race, of O'Sulliyan
Beara and his kindred, and of sew
eral O'Neills and MacCarthys-rest in
Spain.

cred Heart in Atlanta, but who is
now the Bishop of Natchez, Miss.
Probably the distinguishing character.
istic of Bishop Gum, apart of course,
from religious affairs, is a delightful
sense of humor which he is always
ready to employ for his friends.
On one occasion young priest in
Atlanta had preached a sermon on the
Holy Trinity, during the course of
which he depressed to point out that
combinations of the number are to
be found everywhere around us. He
spoke of the sun, moon and stars;
of water, land and air; of the animal,
mineral and vegetable kingdoms; of
the hills, plains and valleys; of the
lakes, streams and oceans. He found
many others and mentioned them all,
as he thought.
After the sermon several priests
were complimenting the young priest
upon his sermon. Father Gum re-
manned silent Finally one of them
asked:
Father Gum, can you think of any
combination of three which he failed
to mention in the sermon?"

a twinkle, "he failed to say that

SHEILA.

Katie had the grand eyes and Della
had way with her,
And Mary had the Saints face and
Maggie's waist was neat,
But Sheila had the merry heart that
travelled all the day with her,
That put the laughing on her lips and
: dancing in her feet.
I've met with martyrs in my time, and
Faith! they make the best of it,
But it's the accomplishing ones that
wear a sorrow long,
Twas Sheila had the better way and
that's to make a jest of it,
To call her trouble out to dance and
step it with a song.
Ell, but Sheila had the laugh the like
of drink to weary ones,
I've never heard the beat of it for
all I've wandered wide)
And out of all the girls l knew, the
tender ones-the dreary ones
Twas only Sheila of the laugh that
broke her heart and died.

8 HULDAH's NEW OUTLOOK.

There was a suggestion of frown
on the pretty face of Huldah Morley
as she stood by window in her
home looking out on nothing in par
ticular. She sighed little and put
her hand to her mouth as if to re-
press a yawn. Her Aunt Helen, who
was a visitor in the home, had dis
covered in the two weeks she had
been there that Huldah was not as
happy as girl with such home
as hers should be. She seemed to
be filled at times with vague dis
content, and had said only the day
before that it must be "just lovely"
to live in the city from which her
aunt had come and in which she
lived. Noting the way in which Hull
dab was gazing out of the window,
her Aunt Helen said:
well, my dear, what do you see?
What is the outlook today?"
1T is what it always is--narrow,' z.

MOTHERS WAY.

Oft within our little cottage,
AS the shadows gently fall,
While the sunlight touches softly
One sweet face upon the wall,
Do we gather close together
And in hushed and tender tone
Ask each others full forgiveness
For the wrong that each hath done.
Should you wonder why this custom
At the ending of the day.
Eye and voice would answer:
at was once our mothers way"
If our home be bright and CHEEKY,
If it holds a welcome true,
Opening wide it's door of greeting
To the many-not the few;
If we share our fathers bounty
With the needy day by day,
'Tis because our hearts remember
This was ever mothers way.
Sometimes when our hands grow
weary
When our burdens look too heavy,
And we deem the right all wrong;
Then we gain a new, fresh courage,
And we rise to proudly say:
Let us do our duty bravely-
This was our dear mothers way"
Thus we keep her memory precious,
While we never cease to pray,
That at last, when frightening shad
oWs
Mark the evening of our day,
They may find us waiting calmly
To go home our mothers way.

THE SEED AND THE FLOWERS.

A baby seed all dressed in brown, +"
Fell out of it's cradle one day;
The west wind took it with loving
arms
And carried it far away.
He laid it down on bed of leaves,
And hid it with blankets white;
And there it slept like a weary child,
Through the long, dark winter night.
It woke at last, when the springtime
came,
And stretched its arms on high,
And it grew and grew through the live
long day, r
Toward the sun and the clear blue sky.
It drew it's food from its Mother
Earth,
And it drank the cooling shower,
Til the small brown seed was changed
at last
To a sweet, wild, wayside flower.

replied Huldah. How can 1t be any
thing else in a poky little town like
this? To tell the truth, Aunt Helen,
/ am blue and dull sometimes simply
because my outlook is SO narrow.
You-well, it is so different will you
in your wide outlook of the city.
Your mind has chance to expand,
your intellectual powers have some
thing to stimulate them and you come
in contact with so many things one
can never have in small town like
this. Sometimes feel starved intel
lectually and in every other way. Hon.
estly, Auntie, what outlook is there
for one here?'
Her aunt put aside her embroidery
hoop and came and stood by Huldah
with an arm around her waist. Then
she said:
my dear, do you want me to really
help you to discover a real outlook
in this town? Very well. I will.
What is that pretty little stone and
brick building down there at the foot
of the hill?'
"Why, it is our public library, and
it is said to be the best public library
in this part of the state"
A little note of local pride" came
into Huldah's voice.
81 think that is true" said her
aunt. "And because it is true it helps
to broaden your outlook. What bet
ter intellectual stimulus is there than
a good library. And you see the spire
of the pretty little white and green
church, rising among the trees just
across the river at the enl of the
bridge. There is another widening OF
your outlook"
"In what way, auntie?"
"Your pastor is man of unusual
intellectual attachments. Many city
churches have pastors, who are not
the equal of Father, Corrigan. One
cannot hear him Sunday after Sun
day without having ones outlook OF
life widened and also receiving real
intellectual uplift. He can help you
to broaden your outlook if you will
allow him to do so. Then you do not
live in a town of ignorant people
Some of your neighbors and friends
are far more intellectual than some
of my neighbors in the city are. Dc
you ever look at the daily papers OF
read any of the magazines your ia
Their takes, setting forth sthe current
events of the day."
81 can't say that do, auntie''
eff you want to broaden your out
look on life you can do it by reading
magazine of current events and a
good daily paper. One can be as in
telligent and have as wide an outlook
on life in a town like this as in the
city. One really has more time fol
intellectual development in town
like this than in the rush and whir
of the city. If you will look at il
from the right point of view HUI
dab, you will discover that you car
have a very wide outlook right here
in this small town."
Huldah was silent for a minute OF
two and then she said:
Il guess you are right about that
auntie. l never thought of it in tha
way before. I-I-well, I see more

high in the air above the street in
order to keep out of the way of stray
dogs or cats. On recent morning
two of the squirrels CHANGED to be on

about midway between two telephone
poles. Without hesitation one of the
squirrels swung himself underneath
the cable and allowed the other to

also resumed his journey on the cable.

1T Is NOT DIFFICULT TO TEACH
CHILDREN TO BE NEAT AND
ORDERLY.

Mothers are often heard to say,
"My children have such untidy hab-
it's, and | don't seem to be able to
break them. | talk all day long, but
it doesn't do any good"
No mother needs to endure her chill
dren's untidy habits, or any other I'M
desirable habits, if she goes about
training them in the right way, and
is willing to take little trouble to
carry it out. Four simple rules based
on psychology, may serve to give such
mothers an insight into the means of
forming right habits. If carried out
faithfully, these rules cannot fail to
produce results.
First, decide for yourself what hab-
it you wish to form. Then start en-
Enthusiastically and determinedly to
break the old and launch the new one.
Say to your children, Beginning to-
day, we are all going to hang up our
wraps, and put our books and rubbers
in the proper places when we come
members every time, and doesn't have
to have mother tell her once about
it." Arouse as much enthusiasm as
you can about the matter. Be care
full that you do not start to break and
form anew too many habits at one
time. Select one or two habits to
work on, and keep at them persistent
ly until you are reasonably sure that
they are we'll fixed. Then start on
another.
Second, permit no exceptions to &C.
cur after you have once started. No
matter how good the intentions of the
children are, they will lapse into the
old ways after a few days. That is
when you will have to work. You will
find that eternal vigilance on your
part will be the price of your chill
dren's good habits. When Mary comes
home in hurry to get out to play,
she will throw her books on the near
est chair. Don't say, ooh, well, she
is little, and it is hard to remember
all the time I'll let it go this time
That is where you will fail Even
though Mary has already gone away
to play, she should be called back i'm,
mediately and told in kind manner
You forgot you,t books today. Put
them away, and then you may go to
play" One or two experiences of
that kind will soon make Mary more
careful.
Third, repeat the desirable action
as often as possible. We all know
that the habit is most firmly fixed
which we have been practicing long
est. Seize every occasion to perform
the act which you wish to become a
habit, and its acquisition will come
all the sooner.
Last of all, don't talk. Don't
preach too much or abound in good
talk in the abstract When Mary
throws her coat on the floor and he1
rubbers in the middle of the hall
don't tell her that nice little girls
don't do those things, or that she is a
careless girl and should know better
and a great deal more to that effect
Simply call her as soon as you dis
cover what she has done, and tell her
quietly and good naturedly to put her
things away Immediately and then see
that she does it. Such treatment as
this is far more effective than mere
talking.

 But now all is changed. The native is an object to be pitied. Their evolu- ton has been slow but sure. The ad- vent of the white man brought curse to the untutored man of the forests, for the first traders taught them gambling, drink and the purchasing power of money. They were urged to barter their furs, fish and personal belongings for pieces of silver and cheap trinkets.
 The natives are migratory and little preparation is made for winter, as 1t was formerly the custom to follow the caribou up and down the rivers. Firearms have aided to reduce the number of wild animals once used for food and clothes. Besides, wild game is no longer tasteful. Canned meats, fruits, coffee, tea and sugar, candy and flour are now demanded by the rem | nant of tribes remaining. Disease and
