S If forget each kindness that you do
r As < oou as you have done it
Y Forget the praise that falls to you
The moment you have won it

Before you can repeat it
Forget each slight each spite each sneer

Whenever you may meet it
Remember every kindness done
To you whateer its measure
Remember praise by others won
And pass it on with pleasure A
Remember every promise made r
And keep it to the letter

THE ALIEN
The visitor and the secret of happiness
She did not belong there She knew it she
tell and the simple folk about her knew and felt
ii j too The church had not altered in twentyfive
vears she could remember that long ago Th ceil
ing then was painted a blue ground with golden
stars upon it and even as now there were stains
here the rain leaked in the wooden pews were
ipoiigy with many coats of black paint and altar
and choir had a generally worn look Oh it had
not changed
Nor had the people She recognized them as
types and as individuals who looked more or less
familiar to her There was the brave array of style
among the women the pretentious flimsy showy
hats and colored silk dresses and the hardened
coarsened hands hidden in the lap folds The men
were resplendent in black Sunday suits and stiff
collarswell washed well shaven but their necks
showed the burn and grime of their railroading
lives The children were all starch all bows all
floppy hats There was one brighteyed youngster
with yellow curls and blue flowers on her hat
She stared openly and curiously at the stranger
and the stranger smiled to herself Twentyfive
years ago she had looked like that And now
She lifted her prayerbook from her lap and
peeled into it again She had been dreaming in
steed of following the service There was a little
sound of jingling like silver against glass as the
bracelets on her arm fell together She was indeed
am alien as every line and curve of her dress and
body attested All the difference lay there in the
cut of her clothes and the poise of her head She
spoke of the city and refined prosperity and leisure
these people in the pews spelled country and a
working class Yet alien though she was she be
longed to them for she had been born and reared
among them
She followed the sermon dreaming The priest
a young man but lately out of college talked down
to his audience The simplicity of his discourse
amu ed her and she smiled a little Then its ear
nestness stirred her He spoke of love and honor
duty and faith The woman counted them on her
finders She knewand he knewthat there was
more of each in this narrow unlettered assembly
than one usually finds out in the bespangled world
of hurry and bustle
After lass the wheezy little organ played a
march and the brave assembly filed out Then alien
followed the congregation leisurely Outside they
lad gathered in couples and groups and they
scanned her slyly covertly out of the corners of
their eyes She walked slowly that the young ones
might see her well and comment on her clothes
ttlipn she had passed She knew that she was very
Toll dressed They would not stare until they
could stare at her back she was certain of that
It was a code of politeness she knew to exist among
these rough railroading folk
Oh the village had not changed There were
the snow broken wood sidewalks the double rows
of plain unpainted little houses on either side bf
the cheerless streets the backyards of morning
plories and woodpiles the tiny vegetable plots
nnrl the saloons The alien strolled along and
looked to left and right to right and left She re
membered every inch of it
I
On a corner was the one rich house of the vii
law It had been a farmhouse before the railroad
ramp its owners ji mother and daughter had l gone
on livuiir there This morning they were sitting
fill the 1 veranda reading the city papers just as the
ahVn could remember them doing twentyfive years
befcne The mother might have been wearing the
san lace 1 cap the same silver sateen housewrap
per slio had changed so little but there was a de
fiI1111 c difference in the daughter
The alien stopped a young boy in the street
Will yon tell me who is sitting on that stoop
plra p she said
Mis Frye an her daughter he answered
111 > urprise Surely everybody ought to know
1 that
What is the daughters name
Why Miss Frye he replied
The l alien thanked him and went on She
nwr married she said aloud
flie had gone the length of the town before any
ono recognized her she had not expected that any
lolv vould Then an old woman at a gate peered
into Jur face and when she had passed called after
JJIr The alien went back
4 Vaint you Molly Brennans daughter
Man she asked
I
Yes the alien said
Well well Id aknowed you anywhere
Tit old woman put out her workhardened hand
0 Hnws your mother
to She has been dead these ten years answered
lit other
dully
I God rest her soul An hows your father
He died the year before that
j I God have mercy on their souls 1 cried the old
roman Ye had the finest mother an father on
path Ye had brothers didnt ye
T had two said the alien One is in Europe
MIidiflg medicine He is the younger one The
rjMrt brother is a broker in New York He is very
riih I had a little sister She was an artist but
die I 1 s dead
The old woman was shrewdand curious She
Pursed up her lips leI dunno that any one in this
towns ever got to be such big bugs as that she
cried a bit tartly It An what are you
There was suspicion in her sharp glance The
lifu smiled and flushed in spite of herself tiI
am l a novelist and playwright she said I live
WIth my brother in New York
uDo tell 1 cried the old woman HWclll your
mother was a good woman God have mercy on her
soul
I am not as good as she was said the alien
But the world calls me good and I have done my
bests
An what are ye doin here J1 she was asked
I dont know answered the alien
When she got away from the gate she went to
the end of the town and back again by another
route She met many people Once she passed
a brakeman in faded jeans and with his dinner
basket on his arm He was hurrying along She
knew that he was a freight man undoubtedly in the
rounds and she knew that he might be killed on
this trip It often happened She shut her eyes
and saw her father in his place hastening down the
village street So she had seen him many many
times twentyfive years ago The wheel of for
tune
On the top of the hill she turned and looked
back upon the smoked and shabby hamlet If they
had not left it five and twenty years ago would she
be back there now in the gray and the dirt cook
ing some good mans dinner She smiled and
shrugged her shoulders Oh God knew best and
she was thankful that His best had carried her and
hers away from this cheerless hard existence
Suddenly she knew why she had come back to
day She was a creature of sensations and selfin
flicted tricks She had been madly unhappy and
discontented for months amid the prosperity and
glamor that were hers and she had come back
deliberately to this which might have been her
sordid lot that by contrast she might take a new
grasp of life and fight the melancholy that threat
ened to engulf her Oh it was good to be alive
I am satisfied the alien cried aloud to the
flowers and the sun and the birds I am con
tented All this shows me the weight of my good
luck I am going back today Goodman shall have
his play next month and all the magazine orders
shall be filled as soon as ossible How I can work I
What a fool I have been To think that I imagined
conjured up pictures of all those useless pangs
She skipped a step or two She brushed a fleck
from her faultless coat and touched her exquisitely
made hat A song crept to her lips and she
hummed a bar She took her way lightly joyously
down the hill toward the trolley line
She passed close beside a sunny cottage and
looked up suddenly and into its vinehung porch
A young woman stood there holding a tiny baby
with its head against her cheek A man came out
of the house in his shirtsleeves and gathered
woman and baby into his arms He kissed first one
and then the other again and again He laughed
and the wife laughed and the baby crowed Some
where in the trees the birds took up the music
The alien grasped the fence and stared in at
them She had grown colorless and hagard At
length she tore her shaking fingers from the
pickets and turned away She stumbled on The
corners of her mouth took on a droop her eyes
darkened lines came between her brows Her face
had become unaccountably old She clenched her
hands until the nails dug into her flesh
You can not have everything I she moaned
dully lifelessly l you can not have everything
At the bottom of the hill she turned and looked
back at the vinehung cottage She tried to smile
and the smile died in a choking sob
she said
You must go farther to understand
quietly Perhaps perhaps you might better
have never moved away from hereemme 1

Hints to Swimmers
Ninetynine times in one hundred drowning is
the result of fright or frenzy There is a public
horror of cramps Not one case of cramps in 1000
is dangerous if the victim knows what to do and
does it Every longdistance swimmer entering a
race expects to get cramps yet he doesnt drown
and he doesnt stop swimming either He keeps
going until his legs are in knots still he doesnt
sink He plugs along until there isnt another kick
in him and even now he doesnt go down Instead
of that he rolls over on his back and waits for the
boat to pick him up It may be a minute or it may
be an hour but until the boat comes the expert will
be floating around like a chip s
When you catch a cramp in your arms or legs
dont get excited You may yell but keep your
self under control Dont exert yourself for it
takes little or no effort to keep afloat Crash down
the feeling of panic Stretch out your arm or leg
as the case may be until you are straining to the
utmost Then strain a bit harder and watch the
lumped muscle go down
c
Bedroom Conundrums
If you woke up in the night thirsty what would
you do I Look under the bed and find a spring
What would you do for a light I Take a
feather from the pillow thats light enough
What would you do in case of fire 7 Go to
the window and watch the fire escape
If hungry in the night what would you do I
Take a roll I
If you wished to write a letter Take a sheet
If you wished a dinner Take a spread
1 i angry at the cook I Take the chefonear
chiffonier
If you were feeling sad what would you do I
Look on the bed for a comforter
The Holland Primrose
There is a plant in Holland known as the even
ing primrose which grows to a height of five or six
feet and bears aprofusion of large yellow flowers
so brilliant that they attract immediate attention
even at a great distance
But the chief peculiarity about the plant is the
fact that the flowers which open just before sun
set burst into bloom so suddenly that they give one
impression of some magical agency A man
who has seen this sudden blooming says it is just
as if some one had touched the land with a wand
and thus covered it all at once with a golden sheet
The Busy Mouse
0 It has been found that the mouse when he is
free to range about sleeps only two hours in the 24
or less than any other animal known During the
rest of the time he is on the hustle and probably
covers five miles in his runnings The honey bee
sleeps from dark to dawn and that old saying las I
busy as a bee should be changed to as busy as a
mouse In four days and nights a mouse will
either eat or convey a pound of cheese He has al
ways got his appetite with him
The Sea of Life
A sinners life is like a pilotless ship on the
ocean when the cloud banks are piled high and
wind howls in derision as it is driven on the cruel
rocks of destruction by a fast and turbulent sea
But a just mans life is lit by the golden sunset
and he sails serenely on fearing nothing caring for
nothing For Who is it the just man has as pilot
Who Hush 1 It is He Calendar
FORDHAM FORGING TO THE FRONT
How Fordham University the New York City
institution of the Jesuits is forging to the front is
shown by the fact that it now has in its i various
departments almost 1000 students
EASTER IN ITALY
The boys and girls of this sunny land spend
Easter morning in church If they live in or near
Rome they will surely go to St Peters There they
see thousands of lighted candles altars covered
with lovely flowers and to their ears wonderful
music softly floats After the service is over the
whole congregation pours out on to the square
facing the church and turning looks up at the bal
cony over the middle doorway Here a figure is
seen dressed in beautiful robes tI is the Pope As
he rises and lifts his hand thousands of heads bow
to receive his solemn Easter blessing
Rare Fruits
Among the products of the Philippines are two
delicious fruits entirely unknown to Europe and
America One of these is the durian whose re
markable qualities have been descanted upon by
visitors to the archipelago
The durian grows on a lofty tree somewhat re
sembling an elm is about as large as a cocoanut has
a shiny shell and contains a creamy pulp which
combines some of the flavors of a delicious custard
with those of a fine cheese American soldiers in
the Philippines have dubbed the durian the l vege
ttable Limburger cheese
The other rare fruit is the mangosteen The
exquisitely flavored liquid it contains cannot be pre
served for shipping abroad
THE FIRST BALLOONS
The chemical philosophers have discovered a body
which I have forgotten but will inquire which
dissolved by an acid emits a vapor lighter than the
atmospherical air This vapor is caught among
other means by tying a bladder compressed upon
the bottle in which the dissolution is performed
The vapor rising swells the bladder and fills it
The bladder is then tied and removed and another
applied till as much of this light air is collected as
is wanted Then a large spherical case is made and
very large it must be of the lightest matter that can
be found secured by some method like that of oiling
silk against all passage of air Into this are
emptied all the bladders of light air and if there is
light air enough it mounts into the clouds upon the
same principle as a bottle filled with water will sink
in water but a bottle filled with ether will float It
rises till it comes to air of equal tenuity with its
own if wind or water does not spoil it on the way
Such madam is an air balloonFrom Dr John
sons Letter Sept 22 1783to Mrs Thrale
Electricity and Amber
The term electricity is derived from the
Greek word meaning amber It was suposed by
the ancients that amber had power to attract straw
and dry leaves Mention is made of this by Theo
phrastus as early as 321 B C No doubt he
founded his conclusions on the fact that amber when
rubbed vigorously does develop electrical phe
nomena
Amber is a sort of fossilized resin yellow in
color it is founded in large quantities on the Baltic
coast and sparingly in other localities near the
ocean Insects leaves twigs and other objects
are frequently found embalmed in amber which
helps to establish the theory that it is an exudation
from the pine tree

Jerusalem and rebuilt it They accepted the in

Christian teaching was spreading throughout the I
empire Though misrepresented and their teach

ing Christ crucified His resurrection on the third I
day and love and mercy towards all The deposit
of faith entrusted to their custody they jealously
guarded Rather than prove faithless to the trust
committed to their charge or allow the gates of hell
to prevail against divine truths they sacrificed their
lives and died martyrs in defence of truth and jus

Wild l beasts in the arenaaye living shafts of
flame
Yet all the fell devisings of cruelty and hate
That zeal could not diminish that fortitude abate

might live

Continued From Page 1
guiding and expounding the body of doctrines to be
committed to the Church This promise Christ ful
filled after the Resurrection when Hu gave to Peter
his commission as chief shepherd of the flock
Feed my lambs feed my sheep
Peters Primacy Was Judicial
After the Lords ascension Peter exercised at
once that primacy in government and teaching
which had been directly promised and bestowed and
indirectly foreshadowed in so many ways during the
Saviours ministry When it was question of fill
ing the place left vacant by the traitor it was Peter
who rose up in the midst of the brethren and de
cided what must be done As in the days of Christs
visible presence Peter had been everywhere first
among the Apostles both in word and action so he
continued after the Masters departure to be the
first the leader and spokesman of the Apostolic
band As it had been from Peters bark that
Christ taught the multitude as it was Peter who i
received the command to let down the net for he I
miraculous draught df fishes and as it was to him
the promise was made that he should henceforth I I
catch men so it was Peter who first preached the I
message of salvation to the Jews on that wonderful
day of Pentecost when 3000 souls were added to I
the believers
It was Peter too who taught by a vision from
heaven was the first to undertake the conversion
of the Gentiles And when in the council at Jeru
salem there was much
disputing in the
warm
controversy as to the attitude to be taken towards
the customs of the Mosaic law Peter arose and
speaking with authority definitely decided the ques
I
tion And the whole council without further debate
acquiesced in the decision A close study of the
fifteen years following Pentecost will show that
through Peters guidance the Church in that time
had been organized in its essential parts
The office of Shepherd with its supreme teach
ing and governing authority was not personal to
Peter any more than the general powers given to
the other Apostles were personal to them Christ
established His Church for all time and whatever
of the
powers were necessary for the perpetuation
Church whether in teaching or in governing or in
conferring of the sacraments were to be transmitted
by the Apostles to faithful successors in the Apos
tolic office So too the supreme office of St
Peter was transmitted to his successors For if it
was necessary in the infancy of the Church how
much more such a unit of interpretation would be
needed in the lapse of years as Christians in point
of time would be farther and farther removed from
Christ and subjected to increasing dangers of laxity
and false opinions
