U. S. WILL GIVE RELIEF

A program for the relief of pioneer
ship purchasers has been worked
out by the Shipping Board, 1t was

These purchasers, it is under

from the Shipping Board at pre-
vailing high wartime prices. Many
bought vessels on the installment
plan. Since that period many Of
these companies became financially
embarrassed, and made presentations
to the Government.
The Shipping Board was faced
with the necessity OF either taking
away the ships and reducing the
number under American flag or
meeting the purchasers demands
for relief by a rebate in some form.
The plan as announced, is rough

There's only one thing which re-
quires more nerve than to turn
down a book agent. and that's to
be the book agent.
One Of these birds goes right
into your office and tries to sell
you book whether you've got one
or not.
You get so sore you can't think
of any names to call him, and then
he wants to sell you a dictionary,
so you can find some names.
You can never insult a book
agent. You can swear at him, kick
him. out the door, and throw him
down the stairs, but you can't in
suit him.
He offers you a book on How
to get a wife" When you tell him
you've gotta wife he wants to sell
you one on How to get rid OF
her" .
He tells you that II you don't
read you ought to buy the book for
your wife, and when you tell him
you don't like your wife he asks
you II you wouldn't like to buy the
book to throw Mt her some time.

MONEY SENSE,

No boy should be a miser. But
every one should know the power of
money; and perhaps the power to save
it is worth more than the ability to
earn it. Many boys are good earners
but lavish spenders. Whenever you
make money, try to save at least some
of it; then you will always have
something. And remember that while
money itself cannot bring happiness,
the possession of it can often prevent
much unhappiness. There is a sensi-
BILE medium between the miser and
the spendthrift; and the boy who
takes the middle path is the boy who
one day, when he will be obliged to
have money, will have saved enough
to keep himself from worry.-Boy

WORDS WITH HISTORIES.

The origin of the word ''tally-ho" is
singular. Tails hors" was the old
French hunting-cry when the fox
broke cover. AS soon as the hunts
men and the master of the hounds
heard it, they responded by loud
blasts upon their horns. You can
easily understand how the term tally
no" began to be applied to the blasts
blown by those riding on pleasure
coaches, and after time to the coach
itself.
Long ago, in England, the village
dogs were obliged to have their tails
cut short to distinguish them from
the stag and boar hounds of the gen.
try. These unfortunate animals were
known as curtails or curtle dogs, and
finally just ours. So any dog consid
cred worthless is now called cur.

VESPER HYMN.

Mother of God! as evening falls
Upon the silent sea,
And shadows veil the mountain walls
We lift our souls to thee!
From lurking perils of the night,
The deserts hidden harms,
From plaques that waste, from blows
that smite
Defend thy men at arms.
Mother of God! thy starry smile
Still bless us from above!
Keep pure our souls from passions
guile,
Our hearts from earthly love.
Still save each soul from guilt apart
AS stainless as each sword;
And guard undimmed in every heart
The image Sof our Lord!
In desert march or battles flame,
In fortress and in field,
Our war-cry is thy holy name,
Thy love our joy and shield.
And if we falter, let thy power
Thy stern avenger be,
And God forget us in that hour
We cease to think of thee.
Mother of God! the evening fades
On wave and hill and lea,
And in the twilight's deeping shades
We lift our souls to thee!
In PASSIONS stress-the battles strife,
The deserts lurking harms,
Maid-Mother of the Lord of Life
Protect thy men-at-arms!

WHO MADE THE FIRST POSTAGE
STAMP?

The stick-on postage stamps so gen
orally used today was invented by an
Englishman, James Chalmers, in 1884.
The English government passed bill
calling for uniform postage of one
penny in 1910 and furnished envel-
opes bearing stamps printed on them.
The people did not like them, how
ever, and the adhesive stamp invented
by Chambers was substituted. The
first stamps used in America were in
troduced in 1847. People have, it
seems, always preferred to lick their
postage stamps.

1.-THE
CHILDREN'S HOUR
HIDDEN FROM SIGHT.

1t was while Antonio was working
on the great Cathedral that a longing
came over him to make an Offering all
his own to the Blessed Virgin.
Ever since he could remember he
had loved to model clay and carve
out rude images. The love of the
beautiful was part of his inherit
ance.
One night he took to his humble
home block of spotless white marble
that the builders had discarded, and
began his work.
His dream was a daring one, for it
was the face Of the Blessed Virgin
herself he intended to carve-a face
so sympathetic that no worthy effort,
poor though it might be, would be un-
appreciated or despised; eyes that
would see beyond the rude work of
the untaught stonecutter the motive
that prompted the gift; lips that would
mutely speak to his eager heart words
of blessing and comfort that human
lips might deny him.
Antonio kept his secret to himeslf
and worked only at night, but gradu-
ally the face came out from the en-
veloping marble.
After weeks of work it was finish
ed, and Antonio stood in holy awe be-
fore it. Imperfect though it might be,
his own true eye told him it was, in
deed, a beautiful thing. Underneath
he carved out two works-"M Do
lorosa."
One night just before the scaffold-
ings were removed, he mounted high
up to the roof of the Cathedral, bear
ing his precious burden with him.
There, in a little niche, secluded and
hidden by many gables, he had pre-
pared a shrine, and now he fastened
the image in place.
When at last the Cathedral was con-
secrated, Antonio knelt amid the other
worshippers, his heart filled with a
holy peace.
Years after Antonio lay dying. The
good priest hurrying to his bedside
was detained by strange accident.
A fierce storm had lately swept over
the city, and the great Cathedral had
been badly damaged.
There, high on the roof, dislodged
but not broken, workmen had found
in a most unexpected and secluded
spot, a beautiful image of the Blessed
Virgin. Reverently they carried it
down to the priest.
"Who could have done this thing?"
they asked.
But the priest studied it in silence,
with eyes that slowly filled with tears,
and, marveling much, fastened to the
beside of the dying stonecutter.
my son." he said to him at length.
sis there anything of which you would
speak? No secret hope or cherished
dream of YOUTH"
Antonio's eyes filled, and he poured
out the long pent-up story of the
dreams of his youth, to become a great
sculptor, and finally told of the image
of the Blessed Virgin.

the old man ceased speaking, .sit is
