TWO MORE SUITS FILED
IN CIRUCIT COURT OFFICE.
ONE is FOR DIVORCE
Plaintiff in Divorce Case Asks for Sep
aratiOn Because of Husbands
Violence. Threw Razor.

In a suit filed at the Circuit Clerks
office Thursday by Florence Mcdowell
against Hurley H. Mcdowell for di-
vorce, she alleged that he went so far
as to knock her down so as to render
her unconscious and also threw a razor
at her head in an attempt to disfigure
her.
The couple were married in Sept
ember, 1918 and since that time have
had two children. She asks for the
custody of the children and a portion
upon which she may maintain them az
long as her condition and circumstan-
ces may require it.
For many months she says she has
received no help from him. In the be-
ginning of their fuss she says he con-
tinually carried another woman's pic
ture around in the house with him and
had showed it to her children telling
them she would be their next mother.
Later she was offered one thousand
dollars, a horse and a team of mules
if she would obtain a divorce. She
said her husband stated that there was
another woman in the ease that was
willing to pay the one thousand for
her to divorce him.
Upon these grounds she asked that
| she be divorced. Mrs. Mcdowell has
lived in Audrain county for over a
year.

ARE you A NICE CATHOLIC?

There are some distinctions in Cath
olicity not contemplated by theolo-
gians, says the Boston Pilot. We
know of the faithful Catholic, the
pious Catholic, the loyal Catholic. In
all these cases the qualifying adjec-
tive is clear and its meaning obvious.
But there is growing up among us
new brand-the Nice Catholic.
Now the adjective nice applied to
certain nouns is also clear enough.
We know for instance what a nice
house is, or a nice game, or nice
day. But nice Catholic-what could
that be?
We took down the dictionary and
turned to N-nice. The word has a
variety of meanings all the way from
silly or ignorant to spare or squeam-
ish. This was not illuminating, so
we decided to put up the dictionary
and inquire from living authorities.
+ We asked first the person we had
heard use the term, a social worker
from the Advent. Mice Catholic?
Oh, yes, e-r, one who seems just like
u.s."
This was at least a beginning. We
went to the Holy Name meeting and
asked the president. NICE Catho-
lie? "Hem-let me see-I never met
one in the Holy Name Society-but
think it must be something between a
Free Mason and an informer. But l
don't know any nice Catholic and don't
want to-
/ We felt we were getting deeper in
the difficulty, so we went to the parish
priest. Father, what is a nice Cath
olic?" Without hesitation came the
quick response: Zone who contrib
utes literally to the Y. NJ. G. A. and
the Red Cross, is frequently an usher
at Protestant weddings, sends his chill
dren to Protestant or infidel schools,
never is associated with any Catholic
| work or charity, but who dimly hopes
| for the last Sacraments-nicely adj
ministered, and a funeral Mass-nice-
/ ly performed" with sermon apollo
giving for Catholic ceremonies to a
congregation - very nice = mainly of
non-Catholics.'
! We went back to the dictionary
silly, ignorant, spare, squeamish-that
/ was it after all. Dictionaries are wise
| books.

OLD-FASHIONED MOTHER, QUEEN
OF CHRISTIAN HOME.

The Jesuit Father John Mccarthy
breaches a sermon on the old-fash-
Toned mother She did not long for
career away from home nor refuse
to do her duty there. She loved her
husband and her children. Her chief
dearest companion and to rear her
sons and daughters to be a credit to
the name they bore. She was willing
to work early and late, for she toiled
for those she loved.
The old-fashioned mother was loved
in return for the love she gave. Her
husband thought the world and all of
her, and her children were sure she
was the best, the dearest, the sweetest
woman they ever knew. Even when
her boys and girls grew up and went
away to homes of their own, they
came back to her often for advice and
consolation, encouragement and moth
er-love.
She was a great force for morality.
Faith was to her like the breath of
love. Virtue was for her the only
course. Vice she hated in all it's
forms She preached by example how
to practice the Christian life,
She is not dead, the old-fashioned
mother. But under the inroads of ir-
religion, of birth-control, of indecent
fashions, of luxury, of materialism
and of the devil of impurity her num-
Der is not what it once was. But she
still reigns, where she does exist, the
queen of Christian home.

DULUTH DIOCESAN DIRECTORY

But with all these soft endearments,
Such were nothing to the grace
And blessing that you brought the sick
And shone upon your face.
Was there ever any like you?
Sure, the rug, on which you sat,
You gave the poor old widow
Ye anointed!
Father Pat!
And how you loved the "childer,"
And how they all loved you;
And a kindly smile lit up your face,
Good, honest priest and true.
Sure, your heart was large as Ireland,
And no trick was in you-What!
Why, no, God never made man
More kind than
...n-!a Father Pat!
And there beneath the altar,
Where another says the Mass,
AS you did once, you're lying,
And they murmur as they pass:
God love you, good old 'soggarth,
Sure, it's happy where you're at,
You were Gods own priest and pastor,
Our good friend
Father Pat!"
IT'S changed dear, good old sponsor,
Yet the little chapel still
| Is standing in the village,
| And some folks from up the hill
| Come clambering down on Sunday,
| But they're gone-for Phil and Matt
And George and Ned are sleeping
AS you are
Father Pat!
Tho scattered far, yet even now
Some of the old tribe come
To see the grave and chapel,
And the old matched village home
And hear the Mass; tho things have
changed,
They sing it noW-but soft or flat,
No voice so sweet to us could be
AS yours, acushla,
Father Pati

WHEN CATHOLIC SERMONS WERE
PREACHED IN TAVERNS.

A Renaissance of the difficulties
which Catholics experienced in prac-
ticing their religion in England dur
ing the period of persecution which
existed there until less than cen
fury ago, which would be incredible
if it were not related by one who is
an authority on the subject, forms
part of an interesting article on CDR
Johnson and the Catholic Church."
which Sir Charles Russell, the well
known lawyer of London, has contrib
uted to the Irish periodical, Studies"
As readers of Boswell's famous BIZ
ography are we'll aware, DR.. Johnson
had several Catholics among his
friends, and many points of Catholic
doctrine and practice are discussed
from time to time in the rich and va
ried conversations recorded in that in
teresting volume. But even those
readers who know them we'll already
may gain some fresh light on the sig
nifcance of these scattered notices
when they are gathered together in a
few pages and illustrated by the col
ector's knowledge of Catholic life in
london in the eighteenth century
rs a happy example of Sir Charles
Russells treatment of his subject, we
may cite his comment on the doctors
aictum that prisoners should be at
tended by Methodist preacher or a
Popish priest" This leads him to
hazard the opinion that Johnson must
have had some acquaintance with the
preaching of Catholics, as otherwise
it is unlikely that he would make. such
statement.
Another reason he adds, "for be
lieving that Johnson heard them
preach is that in those days, although
the ambassadors were allowed to have
chapels, they were not allowed to have
sermons in their chapels, and the va
rious congregations had to resort tc
the expedient of adjourning to the up
per chamber of some adjoining tavern
and there, with the aid of pots of beel
and long clay pipes, to hear the ser
mons of their pastors" 'The congre
cation of the Sandman Chapel Sill
Charles Russell continues, used tt

exists, called the Ship situated in the
Turnstile, Lincoln's Inn Fields, and
like to fancy, as | go through tina
passage, that Johnson probably found
his way to the upper chamber, ant
partook of the beer, even if he did no
smoke the clay pipe, with the Cath

Mine LEADERS
HASTEN RETURN
Union Officials Address Circular
to Locals Urging Need of
Utmost Production.
MOVEMENT is GENERAL
Railroad Officials Order Cars
Sent to Mine Fields and Re-
lief Expected Monday.

Indianapolis, Dec. 11-Memb.rs Of
the United Mine Workers of America
We're urged to return to work with the
least possible delay in order that the
public needs for coal may be promptly
supplied.
This circular was prepared by the In
ternationaI officers of the organization
this afternoon which will be sent to
four thousand local unions. The cir
cular supplements telegraphic instruct
ions, on which many miners returned
to work today. Coal is expected to be
moving rapidly by Monday. Attorney
General Palmer went to French Lick
Springs today and leaves there tomor-
row for Washington.
Reports reaching here this morning
told of the return as early as last night
of some of the miners in nearby fields
and in other instances of some of the
men reporting for work today. 1t was
pointed out, however. that in most
cases kilograms directing an end of the
strike We're not received by locals until
this morning and that the locals in
turn must notify their members be-
fore the majority will again enter the
mines.
The miner operators on their part
promise to bend all their energies to-
ward resumption of normal operations
and promise if the miners report
promptly, movement of coal from the
mines win become general within a
very few days.
All sides in the controversy just end
ed We're highly satisfied today with
the agreement reached by the general
committee of the miners in their ses-
sion here yesterday. The miners were
especially pleased with the idea of ap-
pointment of a commission composed
of one miner, one operator and a third
member not affiliated with either side
to Investigate wages and coal prices
and fix both at figures which they
deem reasonable. This commission
under the plan will be appointed by
the president, the miners in the mean
time to receive an advance of IA per
cent in wages over the scale paid prior
to the strike.
The federal grand jury investigating
the charges of violation of the Lever
act and antitrust laws, scheduled &c
start last Monday but postponed until
December IT will proceed when the
jurors appear next Wednesday, accord
ing to the best information available
/ The probe will be nationwide in its
extent, it is declared. and will involve
both operators and miners.
/ The charges of contempt against
mint workers officials which it is be-
lieved will be dropped are set for hear
ing next Tuesday morning.
