THE CHlLDREN'S HOUR.
BEAR AND TIGER.

1t was Thursday, when according
to custom, the school children ram
bled in the forest to collect the week
ly supply of fuel. Whilst the older
boys spent their energy in hacking
down trees, the little ones indulged
in petty hunt; they had started a
hare, and with screams and stones,
they endeavored to drive the animal
towards those lying in wait, when in
stead of the hare they came upon a
huge bear
Disturbed in it's slumbers, the un-
hammered brute made straight for the
little harmless beaters. Wild with
fear some clambered up trees, others
ran hither and thither in search of a
place of safety. In the general STAN
pede one little urchin stumbled
against stone and was brought to the
ground. The bear was on him in a
flash, bent over him, and dug his jaws
into the boys side, leaving a nasty
wound, then disappeared into the
thick jungle.
The poor victim was brought home
| and swore by my gun to avenge
little Marcel. So the next day the
whole school was marched out. The
| bigger boys were armed with bows
and arrows and l, armed with a gur
| and a revolver, went off in search oil
| the bear. The first beat proved fruit
| less; there wasn't an animals SOU
about; yet we were not dispirited, but
started second beat, and explored
the scene of the accident. 1t is a hill
lock fianked on both sides with dense
forests. We were sure to have the
| bear there at any rate, so we waited

The boys started the beat, and ir

GooDHUE COUNTY NATIONAL

Two roads stretch out before every
man and woman, one leading to sue

choice depends lifetime of happiness

the doubt the best way to save is to
open a savings account in the Good

MEDIEVAL INDIA.

Jashpur, eastern India, is a free
state, which means that the native po-
tentate has almost unlimited power.
The Belgian Jesuits have charge of
the apostolic work and Father Van
der Scheuren gives picture of ma
tive conditions which make one pity
the poor slaves, for they are no bet
ter, that still exist in India. He writes:
A "The rule of the local Rajah up to a
Wcertain point is absolute. The whole
3ashpur State belongs to him; he is
the lord and master of the land and OF
those who live in it. He could to-
morrow turn out the missionaries and
take possession of all the buildings
they have erected: they are his, ev
erything is his; if he wishes to have
them, he takes them. 1t is a won
derful statement to make, but it is
the strict truth. His power over his
subjects is equally absolute, and BE

In other parts of India, one meets
with things which remind one of the
status of some of the Lords of the
early middle ages; here in these in
dependent little states, lost in the
jungles and mountains of Central In
dia and inhabited by aboriginal tribes
only, state of things exists which re-
minded us of the Biblical times, 1000
years B. c. l could not help being
reminded of this when | saw some
of the 'Bhandars' in various parts OF
the State. These are 'Granaries' in
which are slowed away great quanti-
ties of rice, hay and straw, fuel, ETC.,
etc. They are, I suppose, very much
the same as were the granaries of
Egypt of which we read in the Bible.
They all belong to the Rajah, and
the people must keep them supplied
with all that is or may be necessary
There is, however, some limitation
to the Rajah's power, ordained by the
British Government. He cannot con
denim any one of his subjects to death
or to long period of Imprisonment
or to an excessive fine. The Viceroy
may remove the Rajah and appoint 9
successor. This, however, is practic
ally never done, except when a mur

The talent of these feminine sleuths, it
is said, is due largely because of their
greater success at practicing decep'

can keep a secret.
Many of the women detectives cover
assignments at social events where it

social graces. Women detectives were

"sEEN, NOT HEARD"

Do I believe children should be
seen and not heard?" Well, some
times it would be blessed relief just
to see them; but as matter of right
and justice, they must be allowed to
be both seen and heard. Not, how
ever, without restriction. Children are
eager and enthusiastic; they like to
be in the limelight," and, of course,
they are not prepared to be good judg-
es as to whether or not they shall
occupy the center of the stage"
The old-fashioned idea of invari-
ably keeping the child quiet in the
presence of his elders was comfort
able for them, but decidedly dull and
uninteresting to the little ones.
To compel the child to silence, save
when permission to speak is given,
is an unnatural repression, lays a
blight not only on happiness, but upon
mental and character development as
well. The child should be taught to
keep respectful and appropriate si-
lence, but he should also have oppor-
tunities for self-expression. He will
be more frank, more spontaneous,
more normal for it, and his powers of
description and narration will be bet
ter trained.
Begin at home. Teach him that he
is only one of the many, that his turn
will come, but that he must wait for
1t. Then, when among strangers. he
will seldom be called upon to accept
reproof for Interruptions. 1t might
be well to arrange a code-word or
signal so that such reproof be not
too open. Save the children's self

FATHER VAUGHAN ON GAMBLING.

Gather Bernard Vaughan, S. j., was
born in 1S47. Three of his uncles be-
came priests. Five of his brothers
were priests. He labored for many
years in the East-end slums of Lon
don. He became famous as a pulpit
orator attracting large and fashionable
audiences, especially during the Lent
en- sermon season.)
Do Not Gamble.
"All things are lawful to me-" says
st. Paul, 'but all things are not ex-
pedient." And first of all, the evil
of gambling, as we all know, is to be
found in the liability to abuse; in the
almost magnetic hold it gets of man,
robbing him of mind, of heart, and of
will-power, so that having once let
loose this passion he may find It, if
not at once, yet later on, very difficult
to control. Once a man begins to
spend more upon this pleasure than
he can afford to spend on it, he is in
dulging in vice; he has slipped on an
inclined plane, and he will find him
self only too soon tobogganing help
lessly down a steep, leading to the
precipice of ruin.
The safest and the best way for
most of us to deal with the gambling
instinct is to leave it severely alone,
having nothing whatever to do with
it; all the more because a gambler
can never tell into what temptation he
may be leading others; for remember,
gambling is a bi-lateral contract, in
which if one must win the other part
ner must lose.
Gambling in some form or other Is
clearly the vice of the day, and we
must attack it, not Historically, but
nationally. If we really have at heart
the welfare of our fellows and the
well-being of our country; if we are
earnestly asking Gods blessing upon
ourselves AMI upon our Empire; if we
are in downright earnest, and are re-
solved to rise to sense of our respon.
sibilities as citizens and as Christians;
if, in word, we mean to be real and
thorough, daring to make the very
best of ourselves, that we may become
filter instruments in Gods hands for
the edification and salvation of our
neighbor; then, l say, let us one and
all resolve to tear out of or being, no
matter what it's cost to flesh and
blood, that special evil thing, be it
betting or be it avarice, be it sensuali-
ty, be it jealousy or backbiting, which
is thwarting Gods designs in our souls.
Let each one with the poet ask him.

Am l mad that I should cherish that
which bears but bitter fruit?

"THE .FLAPPER."

1t is time to call decided halt on
the "flapper," an ugly word but fitted
to it's common use, says the Kansas
City Register. She is not only dis
credit to her sex but is menace to
the future. There is no reason for
her existence and there is no place
for her in the economy of the race.
We refer to that parody on woman
hood, a mockery to motherhood, that
one sees fitting about the city streets
in the costume of the chorus girl
With callous Indifference she accepts
the suggestive stare and manifests
open contempt for the finer qualities
of her sex. She seems a stranger to
modesty and Graves the pleasures that
only the hardened try to enjoy. Every
man reveres true womanhood. Nc
man thinks of his mother in any
terms except those of perfection
There is that sacredness about moth
erhood which compels our worship
To the woman God has given the
great privilege and blessing of bring
ing the new babies into the world
making their childish life a bed OF
roses, a pathway that will lead tc
God. 1t is she who makes home
with all that sweet word stands fol
in human language. She is woman
as God would have her.
These young girls that are today
bringing contempt upon womanhood
are doing a harm that must make
the angels of God weep. Contributing
nothing to the good of humanity, hav
ing no sense of responsibility, they
know nothing in life except it's ques
tionable pleasures. To live does MOI
mean to do anything for God or hu
manity but to pass the idle hours un
til the veil is drawn on a useless anG
misspent existence.

MORAL PRINCIPLES MUST BE IN
cULcATED BY THE PARENTS,

Now that the children are again at
school parents should not presume
that their own responsibility for the
children's education ceases. The home
is the place where much harm is done
1t should be made place to correct
a child's selfish tendencies, not to de
velop them; to eradicate mean dis
position, not to encourage it; to dis
cipline false pride not to foster it;
to blot out the dark spots caused by
contact with the world by tactful cor
rection.
Under watchful eyes a child will
develop naturally, if he be given prac-
tical lessons in honor and rectitude.
If he is shown a proper attitude in
his relation to others, he will be-
come properly deferential without
fawning; outspoken without giving
offense; considerate of others rights
and views without sacrificing his own
principles.
The school can never take the place,
nor do the work, of home. Home is
not merely a place to live, it is Gods
| workshop for the correct moulding
of human beings into men and women.
The moral principles learned by the
| child in school are mere distractions
and meaningless until they are ap.
piled and become real, living factors
in his life. Where can this be done
| better than at home, under tactful
guidance of parents?
Parents cannot delegate to the
| school the tasks which they are oblig
ed to assume themselves. The funda
mental truth is being ignored more
and more in our day.

In a disorderly mound on the floor
