NEW LINE OF CRIMINALITY
Fraudulent Identification Has Been
Taken Up az Means of Gaining
Dishonest Living.

John Thompson of Hamilton, On
tario walked into the parlor of his
home one night recently and found
his family mourning around coffin
in which they supposed his body was
lying. There had been storm on
the Great lakes, and when Thomp-
sons father read Of the finding OF
the body Of John Thompson, fireman
of lost lake steamer, he went to Ket-
tie Point and identified the body as
that Of his son. The coffin had just ar
rived, and Thompson's mother had
tust advanced to look at the body en-
closed when her son entered. Thomp-
son senior could not explain the tden-
dfcation.
But there have been many cases like
his in the way Of mistaken identihca-
ton Every day at the morgues in
the large cities there are cases OF
fathers, mothers, sisters and brothers
identifying bodies as those of rela-
tives. Some know them by this marx
and some by that. but they are abso-
lutely certain. In some instances corr
oners have had to prevent rival iden-
filters coming to blows.
Fraudulent Identification has got to
be a regular trade. Inquiry Is made
at the morgue for fictitious relative
by a member of an identifying gang.
The. dead are closely observed. In
cidents of their history and informa-
ton as to what was found on them
are gathered carefully. Then when
another member Of the gang has learn
ed these facts he goes to the morgue
and Identifies the body that will yield
the most profitable return.

Gum tissue will quickly mend three
cornered rents In trousers, and thin
places in the elbows of little frocks
may be strengthened with 1t. Every
mother should know the value Of this
tissue, which makes the neatest sort
of mend without any darning and
with little or no work.
In other ways 1t Is also invaluable
to the home dressmaker; for instance,

attempt to have the truth from her.
Failing in that, he would accept the
situation as hopeless, for the time be-
ing at least. She should know that he
loved her deeply enough for that.
She joined him in the little open-air
cafe, AMI they sat down at a table in a
remote corner. There we're few peo-
pie breakfasting. In her tender blue
eyes there was look of sadness that
haunted him, even as she smiled and
called him beloved.
"Hetty, darling" he said. leaning
forward and laying his hand on hers,

She was prepared for the question.

She was startled. Her lips remained

PRIEST SAYS END
OF WORLD NOT YET

Commenting on the signifigance of
the present great war of the nations
Rev. Father Tubman, pastor of st.
Thomas AQuinas' Church of Reno re-
fers the inquirer to the prophecy of
st. Malachy concerning the latter-day
pontiffs of the Holy Catholic Church,
thereby defining fairly approximate
time for the end of the world under
the reign at the Vatican of the last
pope, who is to be known at Peter the
Roman. According to the division there
the to be eight popes, and only eight
who shall occupy the throne OF ST.
Peter in Rome, following the late
Plus X. Thus does Father Tubman
define in generality the part in the
Bible prophecy, and the prophecy of
the saints, of the world conflict, show
in that the Catholic Church believes
that "the end is at hand" though
the end is not yet"
After reviewing the names and ma
lures of the last three popes, Rev.
Father Tubman dwells on the char
acter Of Pope Plus X, who was des-
ignated by st. Malachy as "Signes
Ardens," or "Ignes Ardens," meaning
the burning sign" or the burning
fire" The priest, in this connection
calls attention to the zealousness of
Plus KS character during his rather
brief pontificate. with his truly burn
ing fire in zeal for the restoration of
all things in Christ"
And now comes the new pope,
Benedict XIV, says Father Tubman,
with the disquieting title of "religio
depopulata," the faith laid waste"
What can this mean, points out the
clergyman, except the waste of Chris
tian ideals and accomplishment by
the sword of blood and rapine in the
hands of the emperors of Europe! 1t
is not Pope Benedict himself who
will impose the waste, holds the
churchman's belief, but the conditions
of his time, all of them foretold by
prophecy.
In the time of the last pope" con-
cludes Father Tubman, "in the final
persecution of the Holy Roman
Church, there will Reign Peter the
Roman who will feed his flock amid
many tribulations, after which the
seven-hilled city will be destroyed and
the Dreadful Judge will come to judge
His people,"
