rumor. as the Judge is eminently fitted

The following improbable tale comes
from Red Lake Falls: u. B. Carle,
veteran, 68 years of age, died last Friday.
The funeral service was held in St.
Joseph's Catholic church. On Sunday
Father Arpin, pastor, went into the
church and there before him stood John
B. Carle in his usual attire, but with his
face as black as charcoal. He talked to
the priest few minutes and then disap-
peared. Father Arpin told this to his
congregation Sunday. Carle had once
been Catholic, but for years afterward
had ridiculed the Church and priests.
At the visitation he told Father Arpin
the change in his color had come about
through &C ncealing his sins at confession
and receiving communion in state of sin.
