lieve. An even greater benefit is to
be found in the ability 1t gives to ans
wer the questions that arise in ones
own mind. There .is no one who does
not at one time or. another ask him
self questions that are harder to ans
wer than those put to him by persons
who would best him in argument.
Why am Catholic? is a question
that every Catholic must answer for
himself. He must satisfy himself of
the reason of his going to Confession
and to Communion. He must answer
to himself why he's deprives himself
OF pleasure often to observe the COM
mandment to attend Mass on Sundays
and holy days.
II he cannot satisfy himself that
there is a good reason for doing those
things 1t will not be. long until he
becomes careless ana finally ceases to
do them. This Is an age when there
is no excuse for hypocrites. If q man
does not believe there is no reason
why he should feign belief. If he
doesn't want to be Christian there
are thousands of others with whom
he may associate and in whose COM
pany he may cast his lot. The value
of Catholic education lies largely in
this. that it enables a man to know
the reason for the faith and the forms
is prescribes. And when still voice
within him asks in ell seriousness why
he does this or that he can from the
fund of his Information give a reason
that will satisfy that voice.

MALICIOUS MISREPRESENTATION

MALICIOUS MISREPRESENTATION
A villanous story, typical of the kind
that give the unsuspecting public bad
impression of the institutions conduct
ed by the Sisters. was exploded in
Washington not long since by Mon
signor Russell. A non-Catholic girl
who had escaped from Protestant
Industrial Home was sent by the Juv-
emile Court to the House Of the Good
Shepherd Of that city. In attempting
to escape from an upper story, by
means of rope made of bed clothes,
the girl fell and was killed,
AS might be expected there were
those who saw in the fate of the UNI
fortunate girl striking Illustration
OF the Cruelty of the Sisters. Mon
sisnor Russell in a letter to the Wash
ington Post defended the name Of the
institution.
THE rule of this community of
ladies binding on all Sisters throug-
out the world" he wrote, "forbids
them to correct by any form of phys
ical punishment, nor do they punish
the refractory by deprivation of their
meals
The methods of discipline there, as
In every institution of the. kind
throughout the world, he explained, is
gentleness and persuasion. The Sis
tiers punish by making the disobedient
girls sit with others and forbiddine
them to do any kind of work. This
falling, they cause the disobedient
ones to eat their meals apart from
the others in the same refectory O,
they may send them to remain in their
rooms for a time alone. The extreme
means of correction are to make q
disobedient girl wear her dress inside
out.
And yet the slightest excuse is taken
advantage Of to picture the cruelty OF
these women who have voluntarily of.
fered their service for life to the up.
lift of humanity.
Stories of this kind give rise to sus.
picion and cause loss of faith in the
honesty Of the Sisters in the minds Of
hundreds of people who read them and
accept them as true. The harm they
do can hardly be estimated. And
what is quite as deplorable, they dc
no good, not even the persons who
give rise to them. any good.

SHERIFF, HIS DEPUTIES AND GUESTS ENJOY ANNUAL BAN OUET-ELWOOD IS TOASTNIAS- TER.

The sounds of reveIry issued from Lehmann's, yesterday afternoon, and the sweet voice of Dennis E. O'NeiI mingled with George Da1rs liquid tenor. The occasion was the annual banquet of the Fairfield County Dep uty Sheriffs' Associa tiOn which re- suited in a good time for everybody.
 Deputies from all over the county were present and there were several outside guests. The banquet was served in Lehmann's best style, which leaves nothing else to be said. Dep uties Simons and Martin of Hartford county were present, and the former gave a talk on the bill now pending in the General Assembly regarding the increase of fees now paid for serving civil process.
 This bill provides that each deputy shall receive 25 cents per mile for the first ten miles of travel and ten cents for each additional mile Deputy Si- mons urged the passage of the bill, which he said would be Of great bene- fit to the sheriffs.
 Toastmaster H. R. EIwOod of Fair field, who presided in graceful style, called on each one present for brief remarks. Deputy stephen Hayes made a sparkling address in which he called attention to the fact that he and for mer Deputy Bristol of Bedding were the only ones present who had served under former Sheriff CIarkson, the previous Democrat to hold that office. Deputy Hayes remarks were
