McCarren once told me of a funny Incident that happened In Home," said a Brooklyn lawyer. "Mc Carren said that on his first yisit to Rome, after he had seen the Coliseum and the Forum, he visited the Ara Coell church, on the left of the Capl toline bill. He climbed the grand stairway leading to the church, the finest open air stairway in the world. Ho pushed back the heavy leather cur tain, and, entering, he found a service in progress. So he put his hat on the marble floor at his side and took a scat "After ten minutes or so he decided he would go and reached down for his hat But a restraining hand was laid on his, and he desisted. He knew, of course, that some churches don't like people to leave in the midst of a serv ice. "Ten or fifteen mlnuf.es more passed. The service still continued. Senator McCarren got Impatient and again reached for his hut But again the un seen hand restrained elm from the rear. "A little later, however, the senator quite lost patience. This was. he told himself, an important service, of course. Nevertheless he did not pro pose to miss his luncheon, and It would harm no one If he slipped out quietly. "So a third time he reached for his hnt and the Invisible hand a third time detained him. He persevered, however. The -silent Laud pushed, and his silent hand pushed against it. But just as he was onquer in? in the strug gle a voice said in good American "'Cheese it boss; that's my you're taking. J". -Exchange. Special 1SC0EIIT Until April 1st.
