THE PRAYING PALM.

In Bengal, India, there grows a date
palm tree which stands alone amid it's
kind, and indeed among all the trees
of the earth, for singular action
which it performs every morning and
evening. In the morning it raises its
height of 16 feet, slender, straight, and
towering to the skies above; but as
the sun goes down and the Moslems
hear the call to prayers from their
temples, it gradually bends and bends,
till finally it softly lays its waving
crown of plumes almost down on the
earth, as if in worship. The Moham-
medan natives regard it with awe as
a miraculous tree, and call it the pray
ing palm. They believe it is worship
ping Allah, the name they give to God.
1t really seems as if nature chose this
wonderful palm as it's high priest, to
bend in alteration before the Maker
of the universe on the part of all his
creation. Crowds of pilgrims go to
visit the spot, and see this prayer of
the palm. They wait all night to see
it lift its beautiful head again in the
early morning light, and stand straight
and erect. in praise and thanksgiving,
it may be, as we do at the TIE Deum.
Who knows? Perhaps the rustling

SHE CAME LATE TO CHURCH
OFTEN.

Trite, though unintentional use of a
scriptural quotation in a church at
Washington, D. c., on recent Sunday,
has caused many smiles as the story
has been repeated. 1t all hinges upon
the fact that certain young woman,
always church attendant but also
nearly always tardy at services, is
named Rebecca.
That Sunday just as she tripped
down the aisle, some moments after
the services had started, the minister
was reading from Genesis, chapter "a.
AS the belated member of the congre-
cation advanced to her pew the voice
of the pastor announced:
"And behold Rebecca came forth
Broad smiles spread through the
congregation, while bushes mantled
the cheeks of the fair worshipper as
the pastor continued, "and she made
haste"
: At this the merriment grew, as did
the embarrassment of the fair one,
while just as she started to take her
seat, the minister, still unconscious of
the fact that he was causing the dis
turbance, completed the verse: "And
let the maiden abide with us"
As he closed his book and looked
around to see what had been going
on to cause the laughter, by this time
general, the young lady had dropped
into her seat, probably with prayer
in her heart that she would be more
prompt in the future.

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
TIE BEST THAT | CAN.

A child went merrily forth to play;
But thought, like silver thread,
Kept winding in and out all day
Through the happy golden head.
Mother said-"Darling, do all you can,
For you are a part of Gods great
plan"
She knew no more than the glancing
star,
Nor the cloud with it's chalice full,
How, why, and for what all strange
things were;
She was only child at school!
But thought-"It is part of Gods great
That even I should do all that / CAM"
So she helped younger child along
When the road was rough to the
feet,
And she sang from her heart a little
song d.
That we all thought passing sweet,
And her father, weary, toilworn man,
Said, II, too, will do the best that l
can"
Our best! All, children! the best of us
Must hide our faces away
When the Lord of the Vineyard comes
to look
At our task, at the close of day!
But for strength from above-'tis the
Masters plan
Well pray, and will do the best that
we can.

MAMMALS PARTNER.

A sturdy little fellow it was trudg-
ing bravely by with pail of water
So many times had it passed our gate
that morning that curiosity prompted
us to further acquaintance.
You're busy little girl today"
"Yes'm."
The round face under the broad hat
was turned toward us. 1t was freck
led, flushed, and perspiring, but CHEEKY
withal.
"Yes'm, but it takes heap of wa.
ter to do washing"
"And do you bring it all from the
brook down there?"
ooh, we have it in the cistern most
ly."
"And there is nobody else to car:
ry the water?'
Nobody but mother, an she is
washin'.''
"Well, you are a good girl to help
her."
1t was not well-considered com
pliment, and the little water carrier
did not consider it one at all; but
there was look of surprise in hel
gray eyes and an almost indignant
tone in her voice as she answered:
why, of course / help her. al
ways help her all the time; she hasn't
anybody else. Mother'n mes part
ners."
Little girls, are you and mothel
partners? Do you help her all yor
can?

MISUNDERSTANDING.

A cloud arose in the MONDAY sky
When everything was serene,
And the sky of Friendship was dark
and drear
And we CROPPED in agony keen.
My friend and I had been friends for
years
For years through thick and through
thin
Yet now we found ourselves in fog
And things different from what they
had been.
Oh, this horrible, intangible "some-
thing-between-us"
Which we could not get at, with
words,
Only a definite feeling of something
gone wrong
And our pleasure flown, like the
., birds. 1855, .s
We stumbled about, we CROPPED, and
we tried
To know what to do or to say,
But is there anything better in this
world below
Than to just go to God and to pray?
Oh, friend, when your problem is far
beyond words,
When you don't know just what
to do,
Why not leave it to Him who knows
both of your hearts,
And is willing to carry you through;

THE BOY WHO WAS DROWNED.

There was boy named James, who
was about 16 years of age and who
lived in the city. He was the only
son of rich parents. Hiss father was
close-fsted, but his mother was kind
hearted. Many a time, when his ia
Their was not home, the mother would
feed poor people that came to the
door to beg. AS stingy as his father
was to strangers, he was liberal to his
son. The boys full name was James
Joseph Smith.
James was about six feet tall and
was husky boy. He had blue eyes
and light brown hair. He was always
dressed in a clean and well-pressed
suit and had his shoes shined. He
was neat boy and what some of the
other boys called a Percy" But he
was far from that, as he played base
ball and all the other boys games, ex-
cept football, which his mother asked
him not to play.
The Smiths owned fine auto. One
day Mr. Smith had a day off and he
said to Mrs. Smith:
"If you get James and youself
ready, I'll take you riding"
Mrs. Smith was only too glad to
get ready, for Mr.. Smith did not get
many days off.
They reached a village called Mer-
ton when they ran into pole. When
| they backed away they found that the
chain and gear were broken. Mr.
Smith went to the village garage and
found to his sorrow that he could not
get the parts he needed nearer than
New York. He went and told Mrs
Smith and James the news. He then
phoned to New York and ordered a
chain and gear to be sent to them, and
the man said that he would send one
but it could not be there before a
week. So Mr.. Smith phoned to his
firm in the city and told them he
would not be to work for week.
The Smiths then went to hote
and hired two rooms for week.
Two days after this James asked il
he could go for a walk around the
village to see the parks and buildings
His father gave him permission to go
but his mother did not want him to

be developed, even by a tenant at
will; though the security and fixed
ness of proprietorship are greatly
tributary to homes permanent influ-
ences.
If the home is owned, see that it's
exterior represents you faithfully.
What you cannot afford in architec-
ture, you can supply in vines and
flowers. The interior should receive
the impress of all the order, neatness,
taste, and ingenuity that are in you.
Your home is the temple of your
sweetest human love. 1t is in this
temple that young immortals are born.
1t is here that characters are shaped
into manhood and womanhood. It is
here that you are to work out the
problem Of your lives. 1t is a place
of dignity. Therefore give it honor;
make it beautiful; make it worthy!
All this, however, only relates to
the location-the shell of your home.
The ordering of its internal life is of
still greater importance. The great
est danger of home life springs from
it's familiarity. Kindred hearts, gath.
cred at common fireside, are far too
apt to relax from the proprieties OF
social life. Careless language and
careless attire are too apt to be in
dulged in when the eye of the world
is shut off, and the ear of the world
cannot hear. I counsel no stiffness OF
family etiquette-no sternness OF
family discipline-like that which
prevailed in the olden time. The day
is past for that, but the day for thor
ough respectfulness among the mem
bers of home-the day for careful
propr1ety of dress and address-wil
never pass. For it is here that the
truest and most faultless social life
is to be lived; it is here that such .
life is to be learned. A home In
which politeness reigns is home
from which polite men and women &c
out; and they go out directly from
no other.

He is old enough to take care of him.
SELF"
So his mother consented and he
went.
James got to the outskirts of the
village when he met boy about his
own height who lured him to a cabin
In the woods about half mile from
where they were. There they met an
other boy who seemed to be the other
boys companion. The boys told
James to sit down for few minutes
while they went out, but they return
ed in about five minutes and together.
After they had talked together for a
minute, they jumped on him and
knocked him out. Then they robbed
him of his clothes and everything he
possessed, which was seven dollars
and sixty-five cents, gold watch, a
pocket knife and an Identification card
with his name and address on it.
In the village was the Sis train
just ready to start. This train passed
on back of the cabin where the boys
were. This suited the plans of the
two thieves. After they robbed him
they divided up the spoils. One of
them took the clothes and Identified
ton card, while the other took the
watch and money. The one that got
the money and watch went and said
he was going to the show, but the one
that got the clothes, put his own
clothes on James and, as the train was
passing the cabin, threw James into
an empty box car.
When James awoke he found he
was on flying train and miles away
from the village.
The robber that threw James into
the car, went into the park and went
swimming. After swimming while
he got cramps and was drowned.
Some people in the park saw him
drowning, but he was too far out to
be saved. Among the people was the
man who owned the garage. He look.
ed in the boys clothes and found the
Identification card. The garage own.
er took the clothes and card to James
father.
His parents were sick after they
heard of the drowning.
At the end of the week the gear
came and the auto was fixed and the
parents went home heartbroken.
About three weeks later there was
a knock at the Smiths door and a
| boy all in rags asked admittance. But
a newly hired servant said:
1--WE don't take any tramps in this
house."
The boy said: "Let me see Mrs
Smith," Mrs. Smith was called and
the boy said: "Mother!" and she
said, "My son, my son!" With this
+, the father came and said, my boy
we were heartbroken."
| At the dinner table James told how
he had to work his way from Albany
to New York and all his adventures
His father told him about the boy be
| ing drowned. James said, THAT must
have been the boy that robbed me.
Mr. Smith wired to Merton and tolC

night the heading of the paper was

ERiN'S HOPE.
(Wrttien for The Catholic Bulletin by
Or. James Henderson,

They may dig up the boys of Ireland
And tumble them into the sea,
May tear her granite hills from their
base
To make pits for her misery;
They may change the course of her
rivers
And fill them with blood to the brim
They may stifie her cry for freedom
Till the fire of her torch grows dim;
But, she'll walk in the way before
AS fretted souls see a wrath,
For they're facing fact that's immor.
tai,
And that is her holy faith.
1t helps her to bear every torture
That Satan in wrath may bring
To tempt, or to break her spirit,
Since hell itself has full swing.
Oh, the sun may pale in her heavens
The moon pass without beam,
Mocking her hills in derision
And haunting her of her dream.
But, there's something beyond the
shadows
They never may take away,
Twill live spite of all her torture
And that is her faith today.
Hope planted her foot in Erin
When God turned her out from His
hand
In the day of His wise creation,
And called her so fine and grand,
And He planted her with a people
Whose charity none gainsay
To dwell till again in chaos
The earth shall have passed away.
So, blast out her hills of freedom
And blast out her rocks below,
The virtues God gave to Erin
Ye cannot make her let go;
It will carry her on to freedom
When all of your worst is done,
And she'll keep the faith of the ages
And liberty will be won.
