~HE honest man, the disap-
pointed lover, the widow, the
children and the incapable per-
sons, such as those rendered in a
helpless condition by the affliction
of insanity, are all benefited by the
statutes of limitation, according to
the opinion of Prosecuting Attorney
Fred Pugh.
asked how many people were
benefited by the statutes Of limita-
tons. l must confess that my
knowledge of law is somewhat more
than limited, so l took a little trip
to the courthouse. l went directly
to the prosecuting attorneys office.

the young lady at the desk.
Yes, but busy" she replied. 1t
was not long, however, before Mr.
Pugh came out. and when l made
the request and explained to him
my visit he was prompt and court
eous in his willingness to assist me.
"As general rule" said Mr..
Pugh, "the statutes of limitation,
both in civil and criminal cases, are
a protection to the honest man.
Now, for instance. an honest man
gets down and is unable to meet his
obligations. His creditors realize
that he has failed and that their
individual loss is not very great
This man goes away and starts in
over again. Now if it were not for
the statutes of limitations or if a
limited length of time were not al

creditors they could jump on him
and probably cause his second fail

''On the other hand, if this man
shows no disposition to pay the
debts within the six years time, his
creditors can bring suit and thereby
keep the debt alive for five years
longer. You see," said Mr.. Pugh,

woman whose heart has been shat.

monial contract
THE length Of time of action in a
case Of breach of prise" said Mr.
Pugh, is three years.
About long enough time for a
lover to make up his or her mind
whether or not they want to hold
the offending one or relinquish the
obligation, don't you think so?" ]
queried.
Mr. Pugh smiled: yes, I should
judge that were long enough.
Here is where the protection OF
the widow comes in" he continued

say, the code, the number, etc

STATUTES OF LIMITATION
ARE VERY CONVENIENT

with his explanation: Say, for in
stance, the estate goes through pro-
bate. The husband dies and the
widow wants to sell her home. After
a notice has been sent in by the ad-
ministrator for all creditors to bring
in their claims, after one year all
actions are barred and the pur-
chaser has a clear title. 1t would
be hard otherwise for the poor peo-
pie to realize from property.

has three years from the discovery
of the fraud to start action.
THE criminal cases are separ-
ated from the cases of the heart

limitation for felony, except muir
der. In case of concealment the
guilty party would not have the
benefit of the statutes, even If he
claims he has been in the state and
has not been in his regular place OF

Ode on Edwards Death.

What darkness deep as wintry gloom
O'ershadows joyous spring?
In vain the vernal orchards bloom,
Vainly the woodlands sing.
Round royal shroud
A mournful crowd
Is all now left of one but yesterday
a king.
Thrones have there been Of hateful
fame,
Reared upon wanton war;
He we have lost still linked his name
With peace at home, afar.
For peace he wrought;
His constant thought
Being to shield his realm against
strifes baleful star.
So let us now all seek to rest
From Hateful feuds release,
And, mindful of his wise bequest,
From faction, clamors cease;
Treading the path he trod,
The sacred truths Of God
The path that points and leads to
patriotic peace.
Alfred Austin.

we abandon sin and it's approximate
occasion. We know from our expert
encs the falsehood of the statement
that confession is license to commit
sin because we know that not only 10
there no license to commit sin, but
there must be an absolute determine
tton to avoid sin II We would receive
the sacrament worthily. We know also
the absolute falsehood Of the charge
that money ia paid for the forgiveness
of sin. Our life has been spent in the
practice Of confession, and we know
that the penalty exacted from US In
the abandonment Of sin. the determine
ton to avoid Its occasions and sincere
sorrow for having ever violated the
commandments Of God.
No doctrine Of the Church has been
more bitterly maligned or moro shame
fully misrepresented than that Of con-
fcssion, and yet we know as Catholics
the comfort 1t has been to us and the
spiritual benefit It has been to our
moral nature. We nave experienced
the reconciliation which comes to US
by the Blood Of Christ poured into the
souls by the sacrament of penance. We
know the joy that has come into tho
sinful life by the realization that by
this act Of confession, pardon and for
giveness have been bestowed upon hu-
man life. Sinners have been sancti-
fed. hearts heavy with tho burden Of
sin have found refreshment and peace,
hope has come to those in despair and
the love Of God has come into hearts
that were filled with the wickedness Of
sin. The blessings received far out
weigh the humiliation. The tribunal
of penance ia the mercy seat Of God.
1t is the pool of Bethsaida, In which
sinners are cleansed from their sins:
it Is the touch of the priestly hand
declaring the leprosy and cleansing
from It,; it Ia, the power Of God be-
slowed upon man that by tho grace of
God many may be restored to his in
heritance and all things may be recon-
ciled to Christ. The happiness Of life
is in the certainty that when the min
lister of reconciliation sent by Christ
says to the repentant sinner go ir
peace thy sins are forgiven thee" the
great God ratifies the act OF His min
lister and sinful man il reconciled to

ways employ in their teaching a Ian

guage understood by all. They speak
barbarous dialects, in order that the
Word Of God may reach the UNDER
standing of all.
The Catholic Church speaks not
only the particular distinctive Ian
guage of each land and tribe when
instructing the people, but has also
special Catholic language, that her
pastors belonging to every nation may
readily communicate with each other,
that they may minister together at the
altar, and that her laity, of whatever
tongue, may not, when in a foreign
land, feel strange In the house Of God,
but be at home in any Catholic place
of worship in any part of the world.
In this way the Church unites in
one universal tongue to implore the
mercy and sing the praises of God.
This beautiful and sublime harmony
of nations of one faith, with one voice,
in the one fold of the one Shepherd,
is worthy of the Church of Christ and
of the unity which is her grand char
acteristic.
The mass is sacrifice offered d.
rectly TO God, and it is not necessary
