Crime-Rreeding Literature.

The action of the Pennsylvania Railway COM
pany IN excluding dime novel literature of every
description from the trains and stations of its sys-
tenn has met with general appreciation. This action,
1t Is understood was taken in accordance with the
expressed determination of the higher officials of
the pennsylvania company to eliminate as far as
they may be able to do So what they regard as one
OF the principal breeders of crime in this country
The railways have themselves been numbered
among the most frequent victims of crimes sug-
gesed by cheap detective stories and blood-curding
novels; and the officials have come to realize that
descriptions of the wreckng and robbing of trains
are an incentive to criminally disposed persons to
perpetrate such outrages 1t has been pointed out
that the crusade should not be restricted to dime
novels. Reputable newspapers and magazines
often contain articles not less likely to breed crime
than the worst of dime novels. Only short time
ago a train on the Illinois Central railroad was
held up near Chicago in strict conformity with
plans suggested in an article published in one of
our most.widely circulated magazines. The bandit
in this instance had evidently taken the writer at
his word and given practical demonstration of
the fact that the magazinist knew exactly what he
was talking about.
The day Is coming when the safety of life and
property will demand that popular literature of
all sorts shall be scrutinized by competent censors
before being put in circulation. There is food for
reflection on the part of legislators in the state
ment recently made by the superintendent of the
Iowa State Reformatory, that penny dreadful
literature of the chief incentives to the
crimes which have filed that institution-Ave
Maria.

What She Needed.

to an outspoken but kindly old physician for adj

tired of her bicycle, and the lawn tennis. season
is past. What would you adviser"
"How old is she!" said the doctor.
NEARLY nineteen
Can she cook?"
"Oh no; she knows nothing about cooking"
"Gan she sweep!'
''No; my maid does all the sweeping"

''No; cannot say that she has"
"No duties, no responsibilities, no sense of OBJ

''Then, madame" said the doctor frankly. "your

weakly.
Z would advise you to make her feel that she
has part and place in your home life: that its

ROMANCE OF PIONEER LIFE.
Marriage of Explorer Captain William Clark to In
dian Maiden Revealed.

Helena, Mont July 16-A romance of hun
dred years ago, in which Captain William Clark
of the famous Lewis and Clark expedition figured
has just been discovered.
Congressman Joseph Dixon of Montana, at his
home in A[issoula, has been presented with indis
putable proofs that the explorer was married TO a
Nez Perez Indian woman while he was making his
way across the continent to the Pacific.
This evidence was brought to Congressman
Dixon by Mary Clark, the granddaughter of William
Clark, the direct descendant of the explorer. So
convincing was the evidence that the congressman
was convinced of the truth of the story.
Mary Clark is the daughter of Tzi Kal Tzae
who was born in the LoTo valley about 1907. He
called himself me Clark" and had the sandy hair
of his father, the explorer. "Me Clark" of the
explorer, was killed in fight with the soldiers of
General Miles in the Bear Paw mountains on Snake
creek in the fall of 1877.
1t was between the months of May and Sep
TENDER in 1906 that Captain Clark fell victim to
the dusky wiles of his Indian sweetheart The
Nez Perez Indians treated the exploring party
kindly and a stop of SOME time was made among
them, while the party was preparing to descend
the great divide. The little Nez Perez maiden
looked with wonder at the strange white man and
would wander forth from her tepee in the moon
light to watch the tent in which he slept.
The explorer noticed her apparent devotion and
he, too, took fancy to the Indian girl and under
the open skies they were married. The Indian
bride accompanied the explorer to the coast learn
ing to speak English, and returned with him to her
own country where her son was born.
There were probable vows and promises at the
parting. Who knowsl Anyhow, the white man
went ON and the Indian maiden remained with her
people and her child. me Clark" the son. or 'Ta
Lac" the Indians pronounced it, leatned English
from his mother. He was known to many promi-
nent old time residents of Montana, among them
being Judge Hiram Knowles and Judge F. H.
Woody. To them he often talked of his father and
his mothers marriage. The granddaughter still
has trace of the Clark red hair her own being
sandy.
The people of Missoula are making up a pool
and will send Mary Clark. the granddaughter,
now so years DID, and her children to the Lewis
and Clark fair at Portland.

ANECDoTE OF SECRETARY BoNApARTE.

a writer in Harper's Weekly tells an interest
ing anecdote of Charles j. Bonaparte the new
rotary of the navy. It appears that during Mr.
Bonaparte's connection with the Baltimore Reform
league it was decided to investigate the conduct of
a prominent federal office holder. Friends of the
crooked official learned this and resolved to pack
the council SO that the report might be voted down
Mr.. Bonaparte listened attentively to the argu
ments against the report, and then to give his
own views, bitterly attacking the official, and urg
ing that the charges be Immediately accepted. He
saw, however that his words would have little eft
feet on that portion OF his audience whici: sided
with the accused man; so, when he had finished his
discourse, he began again, repeating his speech
word for word pause for pause, gesture for gesture
not once, but dozen times, until toward morn
ing the friends of the accused of ical were asleep
Mr. Bonaparte and his associates then approved and
adoE.ed the report.

q not Roman Catholic" says writer in
"EYerybody's Magazine" discussing the question
why the workingmen do not go to church, 'but
venture the assertion, without fear of successful
contradiction, that the Roman Catholic Church is
the only Church in the land into which a poor,
is welcome So far as outward appearances go, all
are on the same plane in this Church, whether
prince or pauper. This is one reason why this
great Church has such hold on the masses of the
people, for it has always stood for the people
against their oppressors."

Bursting in from school or play,
Ihat is what the children say.
Irooping, crowding, great and small.
On the threshold, in the hall
joining in the constant cry,
Ever as the days go by,
Where's mother?''
From the weary bed of pain.
This same question comes again:
From the boy with sparkling eyes.
Bearing home his earliest prize;
From the bronzed and bearded son.
Perils past and honors won
Where's mother?"
Burdened with q lonely task.
One day we may vainIy ask
For the color of her face,
For the rest of her embrace;
Let US love her while we may;
Where's mother?"

QUESTION BOX ANSWERS,
I By Rev. Bertrand L. Conway, Paulist.
$4%%& \

Do priests ever refuse to forgive sins? If they do
what happens then?
A priest as Chrisfs ambassador of pardon can
not refuse forgiveness unless he perceives lack
of necessary DISPOSITIONS of sorrow on the part of
the penitent; for example if the sinner refuse to
make good an injury done, to avoid the proximate
occasion of his SIM to accept the penance imposed
or to use the means of grace and perseverance in
well doing The power given the Apostles was a
two-fold power of forgiving or refusing forgive
ness: Whose sins you shall forgive, they are for
given them and whose sins you shall retain, they
are retained" (John Xxx. 23). The denial of pardon
by the priesthood means denial on the part of God
as the Savior says clearly: Whatsoever you shall
bind upon earth shall be bound also in heaven "
(Matt. xviii. 49,.

Was not the practice of confession introduced by
the ". Council of I,ateran in A. D., 1915?
By no means This council supposes the prac-
tice of confession everywhere existing, for it de-
clares that "all the faithful men and women, shall
confess their SINS at least once year, to priest
approved by the church, The very fact Of passing
law as TO a detail of time, which was at once uni
versaly recognized as binding, proves conclusive
ly that confession was universally practiced. And
we have witness after witness for this fact in the
writings of the early Fathers. CFaith- of Catho-
lies" vol, iii. PIP. 1-129)
Do you honestly think that such an institution,
requiring of all Christians, from the Pope down
wards the humiliation of kneeling before fellow
man to tell even the most hidden sins of the heart
could have been imposed on the Christian world so
quietly and so easily that history says not single
word of any opposition thereto2 Imagine today
the Church of England attempting to compel all
her church members to follow out as binding
obligation the views of the high church party on
this point, Why, the pulpit and the press would
re-echo the protest the world over.
Do you honestly think that if, so many Pro-
testants have declared auricular confession is an
invention of the. Catholic priesthood, that popes,
bishops and priests who had the ability to invent
such an institution, would not have considered the
terrible burden they placing upon themselves
