the post around the archbishop's
house, and l got to know him WELL
He is one Of the most genial, COM
panionable men I ever met. Occa-
sionally Of fine evening in summer
he would be waiting for me when
made my first trip around, and he
would walk the length of the post
with me. He was deeply interested in
police matters, especially in the causes
that led young men to enter upon
life of crime. The archbishop was an
nveterate smoker, and those of his
friends who knew his liking in this d.
rcction used to at Christmas time send
him pipes and tobacco galore. He
never cared much for cigars. Some
years he would get as many as dozen
fine pipes. After using a pipe two or
three weeks it would taste too strong
to the archbishop, and then by virtue
Of time-honored accession it would go
/ to the copper on the beat. During the
time l Travelled the post l got five or
six handsome pipes, and guess there
is one or two of them lying around.
Gone extremely cold, stormy night

archbislops coachman, who had been
sent out to find me. told me that the
door of the basement would be left,

years deceased had been a sufferer
from bronchitis and last winter had
severe attack of la grippe, which
ended in death. Mr.. St. Louis was a
quiet and reserved old gentleman, and
although he had long been a citizen
of Watertown he was known only to
few people, and these were patrons
Of his store. He was engaged in the
furniture business up to the time Of

The Conscience Fund.

The total amount OF the conscience
fund in the United States treasury
Is now 100000. The account was
opened in September, 1911, the first
contribution being 81, sent by a man
from New York state. A record was
kept OF the matter, but it was many
years before another conscience
stricken individual exhibited Il DISPOSE
ton to swell the sum. In fact, It
was not until 1861, soon after the
breaking out OF the Civil war, that
there was received $4,000 in bonds,
accompanied by statement that the
sum had long been due the govern
mcnt and the remittance was prompt
cd by conscience. This, it is said, gave
the fund it's name. Ieemittanccs are
received almost weekly, occasionally
the receipts are two or three Il week.
AS rule the letters are not signed.
Frequently they are signed by clergy
men Mt the request Of pcnitcnts. AS
nearly all the communications are
anonymous Acknowledgements are
made through the local press. The
smallest amount ever received was n
2-cent stamp, tire sender explaining
that he had used n cancelled stamp to
prepay postage OH Il letter. No money
has ever reached the fund from hun
dreds of people in official life who use
penalty envelopes to carry on private
correspondence. From London came
the largest ontribution-S14, $50. Some
one in the presbytery in ST. Paul
transmitted through the American con-
sui general to the state department.
and hence to the treasury, this
amount.
