J Three little, boys talked together t One sunny summer day. - i And I leaned out of the window, j To hear what they had to say. ' 'The prettiest thing; I ever saw' J One of the little boys said, j ''Was a bird in grandpa's garden. All black and white and red." 'The- prettiest thing I ever saw," Said the second little lad. ''Was a pony at the circus; 'j I wanted him very bad' 'I Think,'' said the tljird little fellow, With a grave and gentle grace, "That the prettiest thing in all the world Js just my mothers face." A FORGIVENESS ACCOUNT. John and his sister Gladys were out at the front of the house. Gladys was making a bead necklace for her doll. The beads were on a little work table beside, her. John was playing at trains. His train was an old box cart, his new wagon was a coach for the passengers, and Gladys' doll carriage for the ; 'cm-class" passengers. -Don't come here, John," said Gladys, as he Mine near the table. "Puff, puff," went his snorting human engine. "Take care!" cried Gladys again, as he came nr-arer to the table, "you'll spill my beads." Away John went, and soon forgot his sister's I earning. The traiu came round the corner, and, ! Wore he knew, the table was upset, and the beads featured in all directions. "0. John !' cried Gladys, with angry face, "what I did I tell you V I "I'm awfully sorry," said John, as he helped 1o ; phi up the beads. John was always sorry, but it oid not make him careful. Gladys did not answer for a moment, but then she said : "Never mind, John. I'll forgive you." She had remembered the k'json she heard on the previous Sunday about Jesus Je-sus telling Peter -how he had to forgive his brother seventy times seven. Gladys was a passionate ehild. but had resolved, to obey Jesus. She had Iwn saying to herself although John did not know "I will forgive him four hundred and ninety limes, but after that " She shut her lips tight. "Ill keep a forgiveness account," she thought, 'so ) as to know when it's seventy times seven." Before I she went to bed she wrote at the top of a clean page in her last year's copy book: "List of the Times 1 Forgive John." And under this: "Monday For spiilinff my beads." Then she remembered that very day she ha8 upset, a Mock tower John built to show father when he epmp homo, and John had not been the least cross ; v;th her. "I suppose I ought to count that on the ; 'iher side," she said. She then wrote on the oppo- we page; "The Times John Forgives Me." "Mon-l "Mon-l cay J-,,r knocking down his tower." i Tl,.. i .i ' i in.iiii; UH'IJl VM'Il. ; And so day after day it went on. One day Aw had a longer list, and another John j tei oitr-n they were even. And Gladys was be- ; :nnn:g to ford very humble, and said to herself: I " 'K " if I forgive all I can without keeping any I jt. i' will take me all my life to make four hundred i and iu!ic?y limes. Perhaps, after all, that is what "e fri'h' text means." Young Evangelist.

The day she got here was her Cousin Harry's birthdav he was 12 years old. One of his presents was a new Lible with the story of Jesus' visit to Jerusalem marked m blue ink. Harry read it to Xannie. "0 !" said Xannie, "he was just your age." "Yes," said Harry, "and what a lot he kncV: Just think! He was smart enough to talk with all those wise men and astonish them. I wish I could do something like that something that would surprise sur-prise everybody." "You could mind your father and mother," said Xannie; "that would be doing like Jesus, you know." Harry looked sharply at his cousin for a minute, min-ute, and wondered if she could have found out thit oi-uV the day before he had disobeyed his mother. "How do you know he minded them ?" he asked. " 'Cause it says so in the story." "Xo, it doesn't." "Oh, yes it does ! It says : 'And he went down with them, and came to Xazareth, and was subject unto them.' Grandma says that means he minded them. She told us all about it, and we learned the verse. Tni going to begin before I am 12 years old to be like Jesus, and mind every word my parents sar. Begin now, on your birthday." "Who says I don't mind them?" Harry asked, and this time his voice was cross. He went away from Xannie, and was gone for almost an hour. When he came back he was very pleasant. He let himself be harnessed for a pony, and be driven by Xannie 'all about the grounds. At the big gate they saw Ben Stuart going out with a pail of milk. "Hello, Ben," called Harry, "you tell your brother Carl that I can't go skating this afternoon; father doesn't think the ice is safe." ' Xobody but Harry and Jesus knew how near Harry had come to disobeying his father. THE BUSINESS GIRL WHO FAILS. The girl who evxpects to begin at the top instead in-stead of slowly climbing there. The girl who airs her grievances to others until she makes a nuisance of herself. The girl who thinks she is entitled to privileges not granted to her brother. The girl who is not thorough and conscientious about her work. The girl who is always doleful. The girl who expects to carry on a flirtation or two coincidentally with her work.

His Holiness authorized Archbishop Riordan to convey the apostolic benediction to the faithful of his diocese, and expressed the hope that the controversy contro-versy over the nomination of a coadjutor archbishop arch-bishop in San Francisco might be settled soon. His Holiness seemed to be in excellent health, according to Archbishop Riordan, and appeared to be amused at the alarming reports sent out concerning concern-ing his illness. STANDING REBUKE TO INTOLERANCE. The bronze statue of the late Mgr. Doane of Xcwark has been completed, and will shortly look down from its pedestal in oue of the busiest parts of that city. , e Born an Episcopalian, son of one Episcopalian bishop and brother of another, he did not hesitate when bis conscience bade him enter the Catholic Church. "In4the erection of this memorial to the deceased prelate'" says .the Monitor, "men of every form of religious belief and of no belief have vied in their generosity and effort. The day of the unveiling will behold 'Catholic priest. Protestant minister, Jewish rabbi all standing on the same platform to do honor hon-or to a man who all alike loved and respected. This , statue of Mgr. Doane will'be a credit to the great city of Xcwark. It will be a perpetual antidote to bigotry. It will be a lasting evidence of the liberal spirit of its citizens. The cassocked prelate will be the adocate of religious peace. The serious, kindly face of the old friend will be an inspiration to all that is pure and unselfish in life. Few cities will be able to boast of such a monument.' The dead monsignor will live and love and labor more than when he walked the streets which his monument monu-ment now guards and decorates." i ' Friendship that flames often goes out in a flash. |
