q" CAM WILL"

This charming little story of stick
at-iveness" is taken from an old Scotch
paper.
A barefooted, ragged urchin present
ed himself before the desk of the
head of an important firm and asked
for work as an errand boy.
There's great deal of running
to be Dune" said Mr. Blank, testing
ly affecting broad Scotch accent.
"Your qualification wud be a pair o.
shoon.''
The boy, with a grave nod, disap-
peared. He lived by doing odd jobs
in the market, and slept under one of
the stalls. Two months passed be-
fore he had money enough to buy the
pair Of shoes. Then he presented him
self before Mr.. Blank one morning and
held out a package.
Il have the shoon, sir" he said.
Mr.. Blank with difficulty recalled
the circumstances. "Oh. you want q
place? Not In those rags, my lad!
You would disgrace the house."
The boy hesitated q moment, and
then went out without q word. Sir

FLED FROM CHEESE eARRAeE.

Probably the strangest and most
curious use to which cheese was ever
put occurred in a naval battle between
Brazil and Uruguay in the mid-nine-
teenth century, records the Intelli-
gencer.
The Uruguay ship, commanded by
Captain Coe, in the midst of the bat
tie, became exhausted of shot. A
lieutenant reported the facts to Coe.
Powder all gomez" asked Coe. /,
mo, sir; lots of that yet"
eve had darned hard cheese
round Dutch one for dessert at dinner
today; do you remember it," said Coe.
Il ought to; L broke the carving
knife in trying to cut it, SIR"
Are there any more aboard?"
About two dozen. We took them
from drawer"
will they go in the 1S-pounders? 2
by thunder, commodore, but that's
the idea! I'll try EN-"
And in few minutes the lombard
ing from Goes ship reopened, and the
enemy found more shot flying over
their heads. At last, one shot struck
the mainmast, scattering the bits of
cheese far and wide. Then another
came. Then four or five more slapped
against the sails. The enemy com
mander, unable to decide what was
happening, and thinking that q new
kind of bomb was being used on him,
became terrorized and ordered his
boat to back away. Little did he know
that he was retreating from a barrage
of Dutch cheese.

IT'S HARD TO UNDO.

) What makes you do it so slowly
and carefully when you're in such a
hurry to get through" impatiently de-
manded the small companion of lit
tie girl for whom she was waiting.
They were both eager to get out to
play, but the young seamstress had
her allotted task to complete first.
"'Cause tomorrown come after to-
day, and It's such hard work to pick
out stitches that are wrong" was the
sober answer. TITS easy to hurry, but
it's hard to undo them when they're
crooked"
She had learned a lesson that COW
ers all life's work. : It is easy
to give rein to impatience and press
forward rashly and hastily, but oh,
the pain and humiliation of trying to
undo things that should never have
been done; Of trying to take back
words that should never have been
spoken!

FROM BISHOP MUNAGoRRl, OF
CENTRAL ToNkIN.

"In my vicariate, there are now 2S4,-
900 Christians, a number that in
creases each year by several thou
sands. About two million souls still
remain in darkness. To care for the
spiritual needs Of our baptized Chris
tians, we should have not less than
three hundred native priests, thus
leaving us foreign missionaries free
to preach to the pagans and try to
win as many of them as possible.
Last year, ordained eleven priests
and this year nine, bringing our staff
up to one hundred and forty-five. We
began the work of training a native
clergy in 1908, and it has been pur-
sued only by making sacrifices almost
beyond our physical endurance. How
ever, so far so good! We have sue
ceeded in securing a hundred and for
ty-five helpers, but where are the three
hundred? @' aA5 '
ut is not because there are no vo.
cations that the required missionaries
are not ordained and in the field, for
vocations are abundant among our
good Tonkinese. The fault lies with
the mission which is too poor to en-
large the seminary and to support a
large class Of students. We cannot
see our young men trying to study on
empty stomachs or starting out on
their arduous labor with health and
strength undermined from lack of
nourishment.
las it is, those who have gradual
ed have gone forth In physical con-
dition that caused us much anxiety.

IRISH HEART or. MINE.

I have strayed through every nation
Far away from friends and home,
And have paused in admiration
BY st. Peters wondrous dome;
have roamed and read their stories
Where the Grecian ruins lie,
And have marveled at the glories
OF the blue Italian sky.
But an Irish hillside glowing
In the mornings golden ray,
With a minstrel streamlet flowing
Down below the verdant brae;
And a matched roof cot appearing
Where the wild moss-roses Irvine,
Make a scene far more endearing
For this Irish heart of mine.
Glorious dreams are in the pealing
Of those old Cathedral chimes,
And in organ tones revealing
All the charm of southern climes;
Luring love lies in the chances
Of dark eyes that shoot and CLEAN,
AS the broken sunlight dances
On a shaded woodland stream.
But the harp of Erin breathing
Tender strains that sorrow sings,
While a stranger hand is wreathine
Cypress leaves around the strings;
And the blue eyes modest bearing
When 1t beams with love divine,
Have a charm beyond comparing !.
For this Irish heart of mine.
-Rep William Livingston.

THE soARDER.

Olive froWned as she heard the
boarder's flight step on the stairs.
She had got into the habit Of frowning
whenever she heard that step. At
her half-open door the boarder paused,
and Olives frown deepened angrily.
It was bad enough to be obliged to
have a boarder in the house, but if
you weren't even to have the freedom
of your own room
MAY I come in?' a wistful voice
asked.
With half-smothered exclamation,
Olive thrust something behind her
chair.
: "Of course" she said, ungraciously.
The boarder stopped in the doorway.
Everything about her was both beau.
tiful and stylish. Who couldn't be
beautiful and stylish, Olive thought,
If she earned such salary as the
boarder?
The boarder spoke rather breath
lessly.
Il have tickets for Nine. Elma's re-
cita1 Friday. wonder IL you couldn't
go with me-" -
Elma! How olive wanted to hear
her! Her heart leaped, then fell, "I'm
sorry, but I'm afraid I can't" she
said, stiffly.
"Oh, I'm SO sorry, had hoped
The boarder turned away without fin
fishing her sentence.
When she had gone,, Olive drew out
the hat she had been trying to trim
but finally she tossed it aside. Moth
ing went right, nothing had gone
right since the boarder had come
She wished
"Oiive!"
Her mother stood at the foot Of
the stairs with an armful Of fresh
towels.
"WiI you put them in Miss Deck
er's room?' she asked.
Olive took the towels. Her moth
| er's tired face made her anger hotter
She would not think of the help thai
the boarder's money was giving
through the hard times.
She had to knock twice. When the
boarder opened the door Olive saw
she had been crying. 1t startled hel
so that she spoke before she thought
Are you ill?"
NO." the boarder replied. She hes
iitated 81 was just deciding that

in little or no time the vessel was

any other organization.
Speaking last Christmas Eve, in an
address to the College of Cardinals,
the venerable Pontiff gave expression
to an estimate of present conditions
which should have attracted far
greater attention than it apparently
did.
"The Pope said that five plaques
we're now afflicting humanity. The
first was the unprecedented challenge
to authority. The second, an equally
unprecedented hatred between man
and man. The third was the abnor-
mai aversion to. work The fourth,
the excessive thirst for pleasure as
the great aim of life. And the fifth,
gross materialism which denied the
reality of the spiritual in human life
The accuracy of this indictment will
commend itself to men, who, like my
self. are not of Pope Benedict's com
munion.'

HUNTING FlREFLlEs.

In Japan, there are established firms
of FREELY dealers, each employing six
ty or seventy catchers, and exporting
their catch chiefly to the large cities,
where firefies are adjuncts to all
grades of social festivity, from the pri-
vate garden parties of mobiles to an
evening at a cheap tea garden, writes
a traveller in the Orient. Sometimes
they were kept Gagged, sometimes re-
leased in swarms in the presence of
the guests.
The FREELY hunter starts forth at
sunset with a long bamboo pole and
bag of mosquito netting. On reach
ing suitable growth of willows near
water, he makes ready his net and
strikes the branches, twinkling with
the insects, with his pole.
This jars them to the ground, where
they are easily gathered up But 1t
must be done very rapidly before they
recover themselves enough to fly. So
the skilled catcher, sparing no time
to put them at once into the bag,
uses both hands to pick them up and
toss them lightly into his, mouth!
There he holds them unframed until
he can hold no more and only then
transfers them to the bag.
He works thus until about 2 O'Clock
| i'm the morning, when the insects
leave the trees for the dewy soil. He
then changes his methods. He brush
es the surface Of the ground with a
light broom to startle the insects into
light; then he gathers them as before
An expert has been known to gather
1900 in night.
Besides being a business, freely
catching Is sport. Little girls pur
sue it with their fans, boys with wands
to which a wisp of yarn is fastened
Nor do the elders disdain to Join the
sport. They also organize festival
parties to visit certain spots, long
known and famous. to- witness the
beautiful spectacle OF the frefiies
swarming. Special trains. carrying
thousands Of visitors, are run during

CHILDREN'S HOUR

The ocean was green as an emerald,
the sand was yellow and shining, and
the sky was clear blue with little
tiecks of fleecy clouds in it; but Ar
thur was not happy. He was spend
ing day at the seashore, and he had
no boat to play with.
Il wish had saved up my money
and bought one," he mourned.
But he had not dreamed of trip
to the shore, and now it was too late.

his mother said.
Arthur said Thank you," rather
sadly. But don't see what can
do with train of cars on the beach"
he added.
However, he tucked the little train
under his arm and ran down to the
shore; there he sat down rather
forlornly and looked at the water.

Then he jumped up, for small
voice just behind him said suddenly,

He turned and saw very little girl
in a very large hat who was carrying
a two-masted sailboat almost as large
as herself.
"Whew!" said Arthur, scrambling
TO his feet "That is a beauty" He
gazed at it eagerly. -

girl. ITS got six cars, hasn't it?"
