BROTHER OF CANON CITY
MAN HOLDS VOUCHER

Considerable newspaper publicity
has recently been given to the fact
that the accountants at the Chicago
postoffice are unable to make their
books balance, owing to an inextric-
able tangle brought about by two Or
dinary copper pennies. 1t is an inter-
esting story and shows how for six
teen years Uncle Sans postofiice cash
accounts have been hopelessly mud
died by couple of monetary units.
One of these cents hides chuckling
in some obscure corner of the cob
webbed accounts of the Chicago post
office, and the other represents an
overpayment by w. J. Clucas, father
of Joseph Clucas of this city, while
postmaster at Lebanon, ILL.,, during the
presidency of Grover Cleveland.
Far down in a spidery column of
long-legged figures the first of these
troublesome coins reposes. 1t ho
worried bookkeepers and auditc AZ
Chicago and Washington '.'ii' lin.
Congressman Watson .ney wondered
where thev wer- at" Nobody has
vet been a,.- to discover its where
abonte, although the matter has gone
up t., the third assistant postmaster
general, the head of the auditing de-
pa.tment. This secretive and exasper-
sting copper penny has figured promi-
nently in the transfer of the Chicago
postoffice from one administration to
another since 1891; first under Charles
U. Gordon, then under F. f. Coyne,
then under Busse, and now under Mr..
Campbell. Some day its hiding place
may be discovered, but at present 1t
seems to be as hopelessly irretrievably
gone as the lost plead or tho author
ship of the Junius letters.
The other cent was a mystery until
a few weeks ago, when it was cleared
I'D by w. l.. Clucas, whose father, as
postmaster at Lebanon, sent to the
Chicago Office one cent too much in
total of something like $4,000. This
extra amount came to light in check
ing up at Washington and a voucher
was sent to Mr.. Clucas over the sigma
ture of Madison Davis, then third as
sistant postmaster general. Mr.. Clu-
cas- was SO much pleased by this evil
dence of the paternal care of the gov
ernment that he forbore to cash the
check, but kept 1t as souvenir and
heirloom Because he did this, no end
of trouble and expense was caused the
postoffice department In chasing the
elusive copper up and down the col
umns of huge brown, leather-backed
account books.
As a matter of fact, however. Mr..
Clucas could not have cashed this tiny
check without spending hundreds Of
dollars on it. When his father handed
over the document it was not indorsed.
and he died without having endorsed it.
In order to collect this cent, there

of The Citizen greater pleasure than
to see such a body Ill session, and he
will leave nothing undone on his part
to carry out the policy of Irish union
and harmony.
We believe, however, that a smaller
preliminary committee than the one
suggested would be more efficient, but
that is a matter of detail, which can
be easily arranged ii all other condi-
tions are favorable. A most important
procedure would be to select a central
point at which to meet so as to tighten
expenses. all of which would have to
be borne by the individual members of
the committee of conference. The mat :
ter is. of course, merely a suggestion,
but there has to he "a beginning to

A Model Fable.

Once farmer had 1000 bushels Of
wheat, which he sold not to single
grain merchant. but to 1000 different
dealers. a bushel each. says all ex-
change. A few Of them paid him in
cash. but far the greater number said
1t was not convenient then: they
would pay later. A few months passed
and the mans bank account ran low
How Is this?" he said. MY 2,OOr
bushels of grain should have kept me
in affluence until another crop is
raised. but l have parted with my
grain and have instead only a vast
number of accounts so small and scat
tered that I can not get around and
collect fast enough to pay expenses"
So he posted up a public notice AMI
asked all those who owed him To pay
quickly. But few came. Tho rest said,
Mine is only a small matter, and will
go and pay one Of these days" forget
ting that, though each account was
very small, when all were put togather
they meant a. large sum to tho man.
Things went on thus. The man got to
feeling so badly that he fell out of
bed and awoke and, running to his
granary. found his 1000 bushels OF
| wheat still safe there. He had only
been dreaming.
Moral-The next day the man went
to the publisher of his paper and said !:
Here. sir, is the pay for your paper.
| and when next years subscription Is
due depend on me to pay it promptly.

last night, and know how 1t feels to
have ones honestly earned money

What II Is to 30 a Catholic.

No one knows the beauty and gran
deur OF Catholicity but one who is a.
practical Catholic. The Church Of God
is the voice Of God. The Church OF
God is the right hand Of Cod The
Church Of God is vital with the spirit
of God. The Church is the very vesti-
bule of eternity We do not sufficient
ly appreciate our privileges as Cath
olics. To be Catholic, to be children
Of the Church. means to be more than
kings more than princes. There are
which we can compute the value Of the
Catholics birthright this side of God =
throne.
Why don't we loveVhe Church more?
Why don't we try and get into closer
touch and sympathy with the Church? :?
Why is it that that feeling OF loyalty
does not assert itself wherever the
Church is concerned? l do not under
stand it. Why does not a Catholic ever
stand upon the defensive the moment
the Church is assailed? For If there is
one thing under the heaven that is
pure, holy and Of good repute, it is the
| Church of God.
We Catholics believe all the Church
teaches and we practice what the
Church enjoins. That is enough for US.
We do not want to know more than
the Church. We do not want any con-
frnation outside the Church. We are
simply children Of the Church and
walk In the ways that the Church
points out for us in and through His
| Church.
One Of the greatest scientists OF
modern times died few years ago in
France, and when the priest prepared
him for death he asked the privilege
Of making a statement. He was a
man so we'll known in the world that
he thought 1t his duty to make a dying
statement. And the greatest scientist
Of our day, and perhaps the greatest
scientist the world ever saw, prayed
just before dying for the simple un-
questioning faith Of the poor Breton
peasant woman. He said: II do not
want any other faith than hers. l want
to believe in my God as she believes,
and to follow the commandments Of
my God unquestionably as see her
following them."-Rev. p. s.. Phelan.
