Public Nuns,ParochlaI Schools.

A certain COOL Catholic head of u
family is heartily down on parOchial
schools. He goes to church regularly
and takes his children to church, but
when it comes to the matter of educa-
ton the public schools Of tho common
wealth is good enough for him. The
priest of his church visits him occas on
allv and reasons with him on what he
calls the error of his ways, but our good
Catholic is imperturbabe. He knows
what he wants. and proposes to have
his children educated in the schools of
the Gil zen.
Not long ago. one of his small people,
one quite too small to go to school, was
left TO entertain Father for few
minutes. He began in a jocular man
ner to quiz her little.
How much are two times twoP"
-Four. "
Three times throep"
Mine"
"Come now; wouldn't you say temp"
said the Father -.
But the little girl did not assume n
look of puzzled innoccnts which tho
priest expected. She tipped her head
on one side. looked up at him brightly.
and chippered back:
IL gueth you 30 to the thisters'
school. "
