 By George By Georgev' whispered k MT. Bowser to himself as he rubbed his eyes and looked around to see if he was in the wrong house.,
 There is the garbage pail,'' contin- ued Mrs. Bowser as she walked up and down the room with her hands behind her after his usual custom. 1t has been in use less than six years, and yet there is hole in it's side into which you could thrust alarming needle. Are you going to lay it to the cats or the cook? Are you going to make me be- lieve that you didn't take a brad awl and stand off and deliberately jab that pail? These things may surprise you, but let me say that I have had my eye on you for some time. What have you got to say for yourself?'

 And it ended in my having a talk with you. Yes. you are Bowser, but what is that to me? I notice that the milk bill is 3 cents higher this month than last. How comes 1t so? Have you been selling the milk to get money to play poker with? Have you been ask ing all the tramps in town to come here and drink it up? If not, then you must have willfully and maliciously poured it out on the ground to make all the expense possible
 MT. Bowser was in daze. He sat looking at the cat, but he couldn't have told whether she had four legs or six teen.
 And there's the butcher bill," she went on after long look at him. "It's for ' cents, the balance on steak bought two weeks ago. l. give you lnon- ey to run the house, and yet you go and pile up debts on me and squander the cash in gimcracks and geWgaws. How do I know how much money you owe the grocer and baker and milkman? If you were to die tonight and each one of them sent in 8 bill for $500 tomorrow, how could dispute them Nice sort of husband you are! Nice way to run house!'
 Mir. Bowser realized that his words and expressions were coming home to roost and that he was in danger of los ing his grip. He therefore made a great effort to rally and suddenly turned on Mrs. Bowser with:
 ssWoman, command you to stop! I want you to understand that :
 And, man, command you," she re- piled, "and want you to understand that won't stand it. It has been evi- dent to me for some time that we were not harmonious, and think the best thing we can do is to part.''

DREAMING?" ten minutes after the meal was fin- ished, but then the thoughts of how he had been misused during the day got the upper hand, and he began:
 Mrs. Bowser, feel it my duty as a husband to have talk with you about certain affairs, and I hope you will give serious consideration to what say"
 1That is my case exactly" she promptly replied.
 What do oyoumean?"
 'sI want a talk with you. Things have not been going to please me for months past, and want to know if they can't be bettered. In our talk I wish you to pay strict heed to what say"
 But say want to talk with you,'' exclaimed MT Bowser as he brought his fist down on his knee and flushed up red.

EXTREME JUNCTION
Just What That Holy Sacrament Of the
Catholic Church Is.
Boston TRANSCRIPT,


Boston Transcript.
Not many Protestants,, it is safe to say,
have very clear idea of what Is meant
when it Is said the pope had the sacra-
ment Of extreme JUNCTION administered to
him. They have confused idea that it
is something connected with religion, and
that has to do with the dying; but just
what 1t is and how it is administered,
how many can tell? What proportion of
the 10000 school teachers now in Boston
could pass a satisfactory examination on
this point? One In fifty, perhaps, could
give the essential idea, one in twenty
five might make a fair guess at at, but
to the great majority, we suspect, it
would have no intelligent meaning.
JUNCTION, it should be noted, in the Ro-
man Catholic sense, is a divine institution
founded by, Christ himself 1t is pract1ced
generally in dedicating persons to Gods
service, or in consecrating things to holy
and religious uses According to Bishop
Keane, it's usage Includes the amounting Of
candidates at confirmation. OF priests at
ordination and Of various articles conse-
Grated to divine worship. Extreme unc-
ton is a special sacrament reserved for
cases Gin extremis'' for the very sick or
diving. It is one of the seven holy sacra-
rnents of the church and is believed cap
able of giving supernatural aid to the
passing soul and to impart forgiveness of
SINS Whenever possible, and time will
admit Of it, preparation for death is made
as follows: First, confession must be
made as an expression Of penitence and
contrition for sin. Then the Lords sup
per, or as it is called in such cases. the
viaticum, must be received to signify the
acceptance of Christ's sacrifice, and, last
Of ali, divine comfort is given and all
stains Of sin are removed by the sacra-
ment Of extreme JUNCTION.
Any priest Of the Catholic church can
administer this rite, and 1t is the privi
lege of any child Of that communion, how
ever humble or sinful, to receive it. In
the case of Leo, the rite was admins
tered by high dignitary Of the church.
Monsignor Pifferi, the pope's private con-
fessor, and was made impressive by the
presence Of the cardinals in their sump-
tuous robes of office; but the Catholic
chaplain on the battlefield may perform
the same office for the wounded private
who goes on the same journey and who
needs the same light to comfort him.
In performing this service the officiating
priest recftes number of liturgical pray
ers and then proceeds to the amounting
with the holy oil. Dipping his thumb in
the consecrated vessel, he makes the sign
of the cross upon the eyes, the ears, the
nose, the mouth, the hands and the feet.
AS he touches the eyes he says: Thru
this holy JUNCTION, and His most tender
mercy, may the Lord pardon thee what
ever sins thou hast committed by seeing.
Amen Making the same sign upon the
ears, the nostrils the mouth, the hands
and the feet, he repeats the formula re-
specting the hearing, the smelling, the

COUNTERFEIT MONEY
1t VIII Hereafter Be Cancelled by Banks
to Aid Secret Ser

TO Ala secret SER
Vice. '---.- -
Washington Correspondent in Brooklyn
Eagle. s:~ea.
Chief Wilkie, of the United States Secret
service has called on the officers Of the
New York clearing house to assist his men
in the detection of circulating counterfeit
notes. The officers Of that association
have been asked to require all the banks
operating under it's rules to properly deface
counterfeit money whenever 1t Is pre-
sented.. Chief Wilkie finds that a great
many banks refuse to do this, for fear of
offending patrons, and that as result
many a dangerous counterfeit bill goes
back into circulation after it's spurious
character has been pointed out.
Chief Wilkie says that in tracing the his
tory of counterfeit notes it has been dis
covered that in many instances holders of
the notes has submitted them to bank Of
fcers for opinions as to their genuineness;
that the bank officers had described the
notes as counterfeit and then returned
them to the holders without branding them
''counterfeit" or worthless" Similarity
counterfeit notes detected In daily remit
tances were returned to depositors un-
branded. This practice not only length
ened the life of the note in circulation, but
was a direct incentive to- the holder to
commit the crime of passing a note when
he knew it to be counterfeit. -.
w lille n SeCl1OH O1 C1lo 1eu6Idl statutes
provides that officers Of national banks
shall brand counterfeits as counterfeit"
or worthless" it has been found that the
national, banks in some Instances ignore
this provision, while state and private
banking institu tons habitually disregard
It, The reason for this is that q bank
which 1:gidly enforced the law usually
found that the owner withdrew his &C.
count and put it in some bank where the
officers were less particular In this regard.
Chief Wilkie recently laid this matter
before the Detroit Clearing House associa-
ton, with the result that that organiza-
ton adopted a resolution requiring all it's
members to properly stamp counterfeit
| notes whenever they were presented for
identification or deposit Spurious notes
are to be perforated by the word "coun-
terfeit." Counterfeit coins are also to be
defaced by having the word bad
stamped on them. Chief Wilkie hopes to
have the New York clearing house take
similar action, and In addition he Is work
ing on the proper authorities in other cit
les to secure the adoption Of the same
| rule. ... 49,"
