THE GOLD IN THE ORCHARD.

There was once a farmer who had
a fine olive orchard. He was very
Industrious, and the farm always pros
pered under his care. But he knew
that his three sons despised the farm
work, and were eager to make wealth
fast, through adventure.
When the farmer was old and felt
that his time had come to die, he
called the three sons to him and said:
my sons, there is pot of gold hid
den in the olive orchard. Dig for it.,
If you wish it,
The sons tried to get him to tell
them in what part of the orchard the
gold was hidden; but he would tell
them nothing more. After the farmer
was dead, the SONS went to work to
find the pot of gold. Since they did
not know where the hiding-place was,
they agreed to begin in line at one
end of the orchard, and to dig until
one of them should find the money
They dug until they had turned up
the soil from one end of the orchard
to the other, around the tree-roots and
between them. But no pot of gold was
found. It seemed as il some one must
have stolen it, or as If the farmer
had been wandering in his wits. The
three sons were bitterly disappointed
to have all their work for nothing.
The next olive season, the olive
trees in the orchard bore more fruit
than they had ever given; the fine
cultivating they had had from the dig
ging brought so much fruit, and of
SO fine quality, that when it was
sold it gave the sons whole pot of
gold!
And when they saw how much
money had come from the orchard,
they suddenly understood what the
wise father had meant when he said,
There is gold hidden in the orchard;
dig for II"

The superiority Of the product of the

purely mundane educational efficiency,

One of the strongest arguments
Catholic theologians hold against
forced sterilization of criminals on
the plea that this is necessary for the
welfare of the state, is that frequently
the state is responsible for the fact
that these men are criminals and that
it would be chiefly due to it's negli-
gence if the children they brought in
to the world were not given the op-
portunity of religious education that
might Offset the lack of proper home
training.
Governor Warren T. McCray, of In
diana, in recent address, upheld
this contention, when he said that
ninety per cent of the men and boys
sent to correctional institutions of the
state "have had no Christian training
whatever, and society in our day is
largely responsible for the plight of
these unfortunates."
The executive based his opinion on
information he had gathered by a
visit to one of the state prisons, where

John, wondering at the same time
what the old man wanted him to do.

John was waiting for the change that
temptation came.
In his pocket he had two bogus
dimes. Now he had chance to get
rid of them. Would he try? Would
he do it? 1t was easy enough. He
could take two dimes out of the change
the clerk would give him, and put in
their place the two good-fornothing
ones. Down into his pocket went his
hand and soon the two bogus dimes
were brought out.
Just then the clerk handed him the
change. AS he went out he slipped
two of the new bright dimes into his
pocket, saying to himself: Someone
gave them to me, and have all the
right in the world to give them to
someone else"
mo; you have no right to give them
to anyone" whispered his Guardian
Angel. Remember, you told Mr..
Steward he could trust you.'
John was just putting his hand into
his pocket again for the new dimes
when the tempter whispered in his
ear: Don't forget the hard time you
will have passing them" Alas! the
hand came out empty.

Steward as well as to anyone else?''
he said to himself. IF should give

A DIME AND A PENNY.

Generosity to God never goes unre-
warded. Good measure, pressed
down, shaken together and running
over" is His recompense even in this
life.
A priest was talking to the children
OF the Sunday.School just before
Christmas. The parish is not poor
one, but it is comparatively new, and
school is an urgent need. The
priests of the parish had asked the
youngsters to make a little sacrifice
and add their contributions to those
of the grown-ups as a Christmas pres
ent to the Divine Infant born that
day in poverty and lowliness. The di-
rector of the Sunday-school was max
ing final appeal to the young folk,
assuring them that they could not be
too generous with God who would re
ward to the utmost their every act of
loving self-denial.
Zone Christmas morning thirty-five
years ago." said the priest "a little
boy knelt before the Christmas Crib
while a great struggle was going on
in his heart.
"The box for offerings lay at the
feet of the Holy Child. Now this boy
thought himself rich that blessed
morning; for he had in his pocket a
shiny ten-cent piece and a penny. In
those days pocket-money was not SO
common nor so easily obtained as it
is by the children of today. He would
put his penny in the basket, he de
cided, and keep the dime. But some
thing in the eyes of the Child in the
straw made him hesitate. It seemed
mean and stingy to give penny when
he had a dime,-but how could he part
with so much, nearly all he had? The
battle with himself went on for a
while, and then the boy with grim de-
termination dropped the dime in the
basket. The eyes, Of the Divine Babe
seemed to beam on him.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1922-06-17

Before he rose from his knees he
made a little prayer, and the sub.
stance of it was that, because he had
sacrificed his dime God would let
him have at least penny in his
pocket all through the year. The
prayer was answered, and the priest
wound up the story by assuring his
audience that since that day the boy
had never been without little money
in his pocket.
One of the teachers told the priest
afterward she thought she knew that
very boy. Maybe you do" he said
smilingly. 'That was a true story
anyway"

THE AMERICAN BOY.

What we have a right to expect
from the American boy is that he
shall turn out to be q good American
man. Now, the chances are strong
that he won't be much of a man un-
less he is good deal of a boy, said
Theodore Roosevelt. He must not be
a coward or weakling, a bully. shirk

play hard. He must be clean-minded
and clean-lived, and able to hold his
own under all circumstances and
against all corners. It is only on these
conditions that he will grow into the
kind of man Of whom America can
really be proud,

THE DAUGHERTY IMPEACHMENT

The impeachment of Attorney Gen. .ral Daugherty by Representative kel- CT, at the insistence of the labor un- ions is an amazing piece of imperu- lence. The proceedings arise out of he injunction issued by the Attorney General at the time of the railroad ;trike, by which the strikers were re- strained from interfering with the rail pads. the operation of the trains, or with the men taking the places Of the .trikers. To the lawabiding citizen he necessity of such an injunction vas not apparent, as the country has laws prohibiting assault. arson and in- inhalation, with plenty of officials to .nforce them; but these laws are ap- oarently for the individual, and do not operate against mass attack on prop erty or lives. Apparently the law is not meant to protect anyone offending members of labor union.
 By issuing this injunction Attorney 1eneral Daugherty caused the beating of strikebreakers, the abandonment of passenger trains in deserts, the burn- Ing of railway property, the intimida- ion of employees, the interference with the operation of trains, to cease. By doing this he usurped his powers and committed a grievous wrong against ;ociety He should be punished by all means for doing his duty, as it is are occurrence where an official IS .ound looking after anyone's interests put his own.

TIME FOR ACTION

Of vital importance to each and ev cry person residing in Seward anC north of Seward, is one item contain ed in the annual federal budget which President Harding presented to con gress-$50,00 for the maintenance oi steamboat lines on the Yukon river tC act in conjunction with the Alaska railroad.
 It needs no prophet to forecast the good which will result from the use of this money, if it is allowed, to all of the towns along the railroad line and incidentally to otherSminor places of attraction.
 This summer the Alaskan Engineer ing Commission took over the steam CTS General Davis and General Jacobs from the army transportation service, of the interior, with the probable in tention of devoting them to the serv- ice of the tourist trade; the budget item strengthens that belief.
 With this in view it behooves the commercial bodies of Seward, Anchor age, Nenana and Fairbanks to act ip conjunction and inaugurate cam paign of publicity for the year 1923 insofar as the attention of the touring public can be drawn.
 The season just passed has fully demonstrated that no aid for attract ing tourists can be expected or receiv ed from the transportation companies operating on the upper reaches of the Yukon river and it is up to the people mence publicity work for the coming year. Many thousands of people have become imbued with the idea Of "Se. America First" and lack only tht means of ascertaining where to go il order to map out their plans for next year.
 A broad scale of publicity is advo cated; mere circulars will not fill tn purpose, although they in a measur contribute to publicity. What thi project needs is publicity of a broader nature, something that will excite more than passing attention, hold the desire of the travelling class to come north and so place before the entire continent the wonders of Alaska.
 Too much has been left to the pub lie themselves. A child must be taught before it can read-so must the public be shown what they may expect on tour of this country.
 The time for action has come. All commercial bodies mentioned should get in touch with each other and at once plan for the coming year. act ing in concert, and bearing the ex-. pense in proportion. Conduct the campaign through syndicated articles in Outside papers and be in a posi- tion to reap from their own efforts as we'll as that of the administration.

their hardness are the important
things to remember in making mass

Deutzia. which grows from four to
silk feet high, has white and pink
flower that blooms from May until
early June. This shrub is free flower
ing and is most satisfactory for plant
ing in groups.
Pearl Bush grows from five to six

the best effect when planted with
other shrubs. The flowers are beauti-
full and may be used for cutting.
Golden Bell, which grows from -four
to five feet high, has "a yellow flower
that blooms during May. This shrub
should be given a prominent place in
the masses and border paintings as
it has a large yellow flower that
blooms before the leaves appear.
