Some Spanish Priests Forbid Use Of
Word "caramba"-Good Story
In That Connection.

There is a church In La Gualra, Ven
ezuela, which Is said to have been
erected with the proceeds Of fines Inn
posed upon the people Of the parish
who profaned their conversation with
the word ''caramba"-the common oath
among all classes Of people--or With
stronger expressions. The church is
therefore called "La Iglesia de Ia
Sanctissima Caramba."
The word caramba ID meaningless,
but II b constantly in the mouths Of
all people. without regard to sex or
condition, and is not usually considered
reprehensible. But now and then Q
pious priest will be found who prohib-
its Its use among the sheep and lambs
Of his flock.
A story ID told Of three pious friars
who were travelling q hot and dusty
road one day, driving q donkey which
bore their luggage. The beast became
obstinate. and finally lay down In the
dirt. much to the damage Of their prop
erty.. One Of them. more impulsive
than the rest, forgot himself so far as
to utter the first syllable Of the for.
hidden expletive. mnd said "Car!"
The second exclaimed "nam!" and the
third "BaI" which completed the un-
holy word. and thus expressed their
sentiments jointly without imperiling
their soulA-Philadelphia Ledger.
