The L1eOs.

Our new pope assumed the title of Leo
XIII, and we are led to inquire after his
predecessors who have borne the name of
"Leo."
Pope Leo l., called also ''The Great" was
a Tuscan. and occupied st. Peters chair
from A. ID. 40 to 461.
Pope Leo IL was Roman. He died the
next year after his election, which occurred
A ID. 682.
Pope Leo Ill, Roman, reigned twenty
one years, from A. ID. 795 to SIG.
Pope Leo ". occupied the holy see from
A. d. s47 to S55. He was an italian.
Leo ", the unfortunate Leo" reigned
only one month and was then banished.
This occurred A. ID. 903. He was a native
of Ardea.
Leo W., a Roman, was pope one year, A.
Leo VII. reigned three years, from 9a6 to
939.
Leo VIII. had an unsettled and brief reign
of two years from 963 to 965.
Leo TX was German, and reigned five
years-l040 to 10l5.
Leo Y whose name will always be fam
Gus because of his powerful opposition
from 1913 to 1921. He was a native of Flor
ence.
Leo XI., also a Florentine, succeeded to
popedom in 1905. His honors faded in q
single month.
Leo XII, a native of papal Italy, was pope
from 1923 TO 1899.
The first four Leos and the ninth have
been accorded canonical nonOs. 1t is some
what astonishing that Leo Y. escaped this
infliction, in view of his eminent services
during the most trying perid of the 'Romish
supremacy" 1t will be noticed that two OF
the Leos reigned 81 years. two one year and
two one month.

Then followed little brief news of mutual
friends and their whereabouts.
Hugh Arnold saw now the depths of the
wrong he had DONE and, miserable and sad,
he went to his prayer meeting. He pre-
vailed upon an old minister who was present
to lead the services, for he was incapacitated
from attending to his duties. At the con-
clusion of the meeting he announced the
choir meeting, and told the congregation
that the members thought best to have the
organ used In the Sunday services. There
was little hum Of surprise, and the dissat-
istied gathered in group to talk the matter
over. But the minister's calm, decided
manner admitted Of no doubt as to his pur-
pose, and no audible objections were offered.
He had concluded to go home with Ruth
from church and tell her all, but Mr.. Allen
was with her, and she would never allow the
old gentleman to go alone, Hugh knew per-
fectly well, and he compromised with his
conscience by promising to confess to her
the next evening when he would bring her
to the choir meeting; but while imam pro.
poses, God dispOses."

AN APRIL SONG.
BY EDWIN y. LEWIS.

Sweet April, when You Try, with yoursunshine
ana your sky,
Your wind breathing low and your birds
that sing together,
Your misty bIue that fIls the hollows of the
hills.
You can make day of most enchanting
weather.
But on this lovely morning you have for your
adOrning
The presence of my only love. my darling,
my dear
So you have no need to try, with your sunshine
and your sky,
To make this day the day Of all the year.
Yet, April, do your best, with a soft wind from
the west,
With sunlight on the springsng grass, and
tender blue above
Let your singing birds sing loudly, and your
flowers look up proudly
so may you serve the lady OF my love!
month of changeful mien-your days may
be serene
Or your sobbing east wind may be bringing
rainy weather
Each is welcome day, for il takes me nearer
May.
When my only love and shall be together,

THE LEGEND OF ST. SOPHIA.
Atlantic Monthly.l


When the fierce Moslems stormed the town,
They sacked Byzantium up and down;
Not even Saint sophia stayed
Their cruel, all destroying raid.
The sacred walls no shelter gave;
They rode their chargers up the nave,
Trampling down with IRON hoof
The people gathered under Its roOl,
And yet, in spite of startled cry,
The shout of angry foemen nigh,
The ring of the consecrated stones
Meath the horses feet, the dying moans'
The priest, who at the altar there
Had just begun to chant his prayer,
His prayer, unbroken, chanted on,
Unmoved in either look or tone;
In voice so tranquil, solemn, clear,
With never a shade of haste or fear,
He said the holy Catholic mass.
When closer still the horde drew near,
He seemed neither to see nor hear
Until they pressed at Ieft and right
And Quenched the candles in his sight;
And then he turned to where was spread
The sacrament. He took the bread,
He held the wine above hls head,
And with a look sublime that said,
"ChriSt's servant never yet has fled,
He walked with firm and equal tread
The only open way. 1t led
To the solid minister wall and loi
AS once of old the sea did know
To open a way for Israei's host.
And close again when the people crossed,
50 now the wall did part i'm twain,
Receive the priest, and close again;
While cen the Moslems paused to hear,
From just behind the wall anear,
A voice so tranquil, solemn, clear,
With never a shade of haste or fear,
Repeat the holy Catholic mass.
Stern Isam now the minister ruled,
And all the conquered building schooled
To speak its mandates. Much they burned;
And when they marked the altar turned
To Christs Jerusalem its face,
They tore 1t rudely from its place,
And made il look to Mecca. Still,
Listening oft against their will,
The very workmen paused TO hear,
From just behind the wall anear,
A voice so tranquil, solemn, clear,
With never shade of haste or fear,
Repeat the holy Catholic mass.
And still behind the walls, they say,
The priest imprisoned waits the day
That brings the end of Mcsfem sway;
And now and then they near the tone
OF his devOtiOns through the stone.
The legend cries with prophet voice,
"Ihat day will come. Let man rejoiceW
And then the wall will part in twain,
The faithful priest come out again;
Within his hands will be the bread,
He'll hold the wine above his head,
And climb with firm and equal tread
The altar stairs, to fl ish there,
AS he began, his chanted prayer.
In voice so tranquil, solemn, clear,
With never n shade of haste or fear.
He'll end the holy Catholic mass.

Radical Consistency.
lCourier-Journal.l !

1t is amusing to observe how piteously the
New York Times and other professed anti
subsidy organs are pleading for the further
subsidizing of the Northern Pacific and other
roads, while denouncing the Texas Pacific
bill simply because, incidentally, the south
ern states will be very much benefited by
the construction of the southern trans contl-
mental line. These insane)y sectional, bigot-
ed and selfish journals, to which reference
has been made, forget that northern indus
try and capital will be stirred TO profitable
action by the opening up OF vast section %
country to settlement, and that in making
war upon a competing line they are cutting
at the vital interests of their own section.

Thn E0nCerf.

Another evidence of the fact that
our people viii patronize entertain.
ments gotten up by home talent, was
given last Friday evening, the occasion
being the concert given by the River
Falls Cornet Band. The audience was
large and appreciatiye, and we have
yet to see the first person who does not
acknowledge that he received full val
ne for the money invested.
OF the four vocal members, Mr..
Childs rendered his two pieces very
nicely. Miss Martins songs, Crooked
in the Cradle of the Deep and "The
Ivy Green were enjoyed by the audi
ence. perhaps as much on account of
her wonderful contralto voice, as by
reason of the smoothness of tone with
which it was rendered. Mrs. Rickett
is always good her appearance on the
stage is perfectly easy; her voice is
always under good control and she
knows exactly what it is capable of
doing and it is generally conceded
that her singing was excellent.
The Band did themselves credit.
The drill they have had for the past two
months under the leadership of Prof.
Geo. Burt, has done wonders for them;
they certainly need not be ashamed,
hereafter, to play by the side of more
pretentious organizations. The organ
solo by Miss Martin was thoroughly
enjoyable, and the Accomplishments,
together with the solo, by Mrs. Wood
ruff are evidence that that lady had
spent much time in careful prepare
ton. That Mr.. Burt is an artist of
rare ability is unanimously acknowl-
edged by all who heard his Home,
Sweet Home and ..rhe Mockine
Bird both of these productions were
rendered with exquisite skill.
On the whole, the Band are to be
congratulated upon the success of the
entertainment.

BIlndy's Majority.

The official canvass of this county
for Circuit Judge shows a total vote of
2, 431, of which number Bundy receiv-
ed 2, 15S and Cousins 273, thus giving
a majority for the former of 1885.
AS to the other counties in the cir
cult, the full returns have not yet
reached us; however, the majorities
will range about as follows: For
Bundy, Dunn, 1000 majority; ST..
Croix, 1,700 majority; Buffalo, 800
majority. For Cousins, Eau Claire,
600 majority; pepin, 100 majority;
thus electing Judge Bundy by between
1000 and 5000 majority. If anything
else is needed to convince outsiders
that the people Of this circuit do not
wish to make party issues in the cleo
ton of judicial officers, we don't know
what is.

We are in receipt of Il pamphlet, en-
titled Honest Money, written by Thos.
NJ. Nichol, and published by the Hon
est Money League Of the Northwest.
which was organized lately in Chicago.
Mr.. Nichol will be remembered as the
gentleman who did good service for
the Republicans in this State, last fall,
and who exposed the fallacies and
falsehoods INDUCED in by Sam
Carey, of Ohio, much to the dis
comfture of the latter gentleman. The
pamphlet contains great deal of that
kind of information so much needed
by our greenback friends just at pres
ent. 1t might possibly open their eyes
to the fallacy of their reasoning and
the impracticability of their demands.
The platforms of the League is pithily
expressed in these words:
