A COSTLY LESSON

Tired and footsore, Everett
F. Hodson of Estancia sat
down to rest in an automobile
standing by the curb on West
Central avenue last night.
Curiosity then prompted him
to attempt to start the car.
At least this is the story
told by Hodson in police court
this morning when arraigned
on the charge of attempting
to steal the car of Schwartz
& With from the curb in front
of their store last night.
According to evidence fur
nished by the police, Hodson
was trying to start the car
when a woman bookkeeper
ran out and told him to stop.
He refused, it is said, and the
bookkeeper called to Patrol
man Charles Mainz who
placed the man under arrest.
Police Judge w. w. Nc
Clellan sentenced him to 25
days in the city Jail or a fine
of S25. Hodson had not paid
the fine this afternoon.--Al-
buquerque Herald. /,
The foregoing refers to
Everett Hodgson, son of Mr..
and Mrs. S. w. Hodgson. who
has been working in Albu-
ouerque.
MI. Hodgson was in town
Monday and, hearing of his
sons trouble called up the
chief of police and found
that the boy had been fined
S25.
Nobody who knows Everett
believes for a moment that he
had any thought of trying to
steal the car. The utmost /
extent of his offense, as to in
;ent, was undue meddlesome-
ness.
He has had a costly lesson,
md there are others who
would do we'll to profit by it.

The idea, therefore, that it is the
creditor who always has gained in the

Indeed, it is far more common in the
modern system of capitalistic enter
prise to find the creditors poor and
the debtor rich. The wholesale way
in which companies are fraudulently
or at least recklessly floated is a cry
ing scandal of stealing. The extra
ordinary fashion which will make men
gamble with what is not their own is
very prevalent.

Felicien Limerel who has lost his
faith in Catholicism, charges his par

for that disaster He cries out:
Il had early Christian training;
recognize it. l received more religious
instruction and saw more examples of
faith among my masters than most of
the men of my generation. That
should have sufficed and often has
done, to build up sound faith, but on
one condition: 1t is that the family
life should be in harmony with these
instructions. l have seen at
home too many examples which did
not agree with the lessons taught at
school, and l have learned to doubt.

POPE INNOCENT v.

There have been thirteen Popes of
the name of Innocent st. Innocent,
the first Pope to assume the name,
reigned in the fifth century, and it
was during his pontifcate that Rome
was destroyed by Alaric the Goth. In
nocent V. was native of Burgundy,
where he was born in 1925. In early
life he joined the Dominican Order,
and became noted for his eloquence in
the pulpit and for his personal sane
tity and zeal.
His name was Pierre de Tarentaise.
He succeeded st. Thomas Aquinas as
teacher of theology in the University
of Paris, and was made Archbishop of
Lyons in 1872, and then Cardinal
Bishop of Ostia. His pontifcate was
very brief, lasting only six months.
The most noteworthy feature of his
pontificate was the practical steps he
was taking to bring about reconcil-
iation with the Eastern Church He
was proceeding to send delegates to
the Greek Emperor in connection
with the decisions of the Council of
Lyons, which had just been held,
when he was taken ill and died.
He was the author of several works
in philosophy, theology, and canon
law, and is referred to in the works
of Peter of Lombardy as the most
famous Doctor He was inferred in
the Lateran Church, his funeral obse-
quies being attended by the King of
Sicily and great numbers of civil and
ecclesiastical dignitaries, as we'll as
by vast concourse of the people.
He was succeeded by Adrian v, who
was his nephew, and who was very
old and feeble at the time, and lived
but month after being chosen Pope.

just possible that the perusal of the
foregoing passage may give even
other Catholic parents a qualm or two
of conscience, says a writer. Per
haps their children are sent, though
grudingly, to Catholic schools, but the
domestic atmosphere is so hostile to
the principles that the boys and girls
of the family learn in the classrboms
that they decide, after recovering
from the painful bewilderment they ex-
perience in trying to reconcile contra
dictions, that the only sensible way of
practicing their religion is according
to the pattern set them by their weak,
critical and pleasure-loving larents.
AS result, the children themselves, in
spite of their early schooling, grow up
compromisingly world-mindei Cath
olics. Having been accustomed at
home from their tender years to hear
the Church's tenets and DEGREES be-

small wonder that when they become
men and women their Cath olicism is

ISOBEL'S ATONEMENT

Isobel Ormand was q singularly
point of view. She had beauty and
talents and wealth, which enabled her
to enjoy life to the fullest extent
She lived in a palatial home, delight
fully situated on high river bank,
where she whiled away many happy
hours when the weather invited to
outdoor pastimes. AS she was never
denied anything for which she
wished, her inclinations gradually had
full sway over her and she followed
every impulse. Fortunately many of
these impulses led her in profitable
directions, and as she advanced in her
teens she was very accomplished
girl. Lessons were mastered quickly,
leaving her time for the activities she
dearly loved, especially rowing and
swimming. Her voice gave unusual
promise, so she filled the home with
music when outdoor sports were de.

parents and loved by her many
friends, yet all deplored one ruling
fault which was gradually spelling
her nature and which seemed i'm
possible to correct. Being very i'm
pulsive, she judged every situation on
the spot, and in her imperious way
would listen to no explanations. When
proved to be wrong, she would sim
ply toss her pretty head in the air
and say: "Well, it seemed that way
to me-"
Il am anxious about Isobel,' said
Mrs Ormond one evening to her hus-

NURSING NUNS.

Gliding like a vision through the dim
and silent ward,
Little Sister Agatha brings gladness
none record,
But it's counted to her credit in the
ledger of the Lord.
Little Sister Agatha comes with a
sunny smile
Pleasant words of comfort that the
saddest must beguile-
AS if lowered with the graces of a
heaven-haunted isle.
Little Sister Agatha's a type of many
such,
Tending all with sympathy and hands
of tender touch,
Who think that for your welfare they
can never do too much.
Oftentimes in fancy, shall hear their
light football,
Xavier and Sebastian who the rough
est must enthral.
Consilii, Francis, Brendan, but l can
not name them all.
Just to feel their influence, know their
matchless skill,
See the ceaseless duties that they low
ingly fulfill
1t might be deemed a blessing to be
even very i'll.
Like a CLEAN of sunshine through
clouded skies of grey,
Spreading benefits around in their
own quiet way,
They drive from pining hearts the
thought of anguish and dismay.
Strengthen, Lord, the little hands that
toll at thy behest-
Keep afresh the sunny smile to glad
den the oppressed,
Melifluous the soothing voice to lull
the sick to rest.
Incidents of vanished years will into
memory throng-
These shall have a place apart, and
there continue long
So now as pledge of gratitude 1 give
my artless song.
