PARIS, Feb. 2.-The Figaro to-day
published an interview with the Pope,
IN which His Holiness is quoted as say
ing: "It the French conservatives saw
that such a thing was possible, they
should establish something better than q
republic. Otherwise they should adhere
TO the republic, which would then be as
they chose to make it. 1t is better to
accomplish something fairly well than
70 tolerate very bad things. To support
a good republic is to fight against bad

Alleged TO have been Found Among the
Papers of Boston Doctor.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. &c. s. Allen, Of this
city, has been notified that his wife, by
the death Of her father, has fallen heir to
practically the entire business section Of
the city of Toledo, o, When Toledo
was nothing more than a trading station
years ago, DR.. A. S. Jones, of Boston,
bought from the Government quarter
section OF land, and returning To Boston
laid his deeds away. That land Is now
In the very heart Of the business section
OF Toledo. DR.. Jones died four weeks
ago and among his papers was found the
deed for the land. Mr.. Allen and the
executors OF the Jones estate will inves.
tigate and push their claims to the prop.
erty.
4 dispatch from Toledo says: The
report that the wife OF G. s. Allen, Of
St. Louis, becomes heir to 100 acres Of
land in the heart Of Toledo eIcites only
ridicule here. The abstract Of deeds
and couveyances dating back to 1912, al
which time II was mere village, shows
no property recorded in the name OF any
Jones. Being unrecorded, the deed ID
valueless. The law ot limitation ol
title in Ohio also extinguishes the claim,
as 1t provides that ian action for the re.
coyery OF the title or possession Of real
property can only bs brought within
twenty.one years after the cause Of such
action accrues."

MITCHELL, INp, Feb. 9.-Mitchell has
the most stubborn man in the country.
About twenty.seven years ago there
lived near Paoli, Ind, family of colored
people named Bond, consisting of mother,
two daughters and a son, John. They
we're in comfortable circumstances, own
ing their own farm. The mother de.
cided to sell the farm, but upon making
her decision known to the children, met
with opposition from her son, who de.
clared Il the farm was sold he would go
to bed and never get up again. No at
tention was ppid TO his threat and the
farm was sold, and the family moved to
Mitchell. The first night John went to
bed as usual. but in the morning refused
to arise, and has stubbornly fulfilled his
threat for about twenty.ssven years with
one exception, that being; at the time oi
the death OF his mother. at first Bonds
case caused considerable comment, and
physicians examined him and pro.
nounced him in perfect health. Atforts
we're made TO get him out OF bed, but
every scheme failed. When told that
the house was on FIRE or that burglars
had broken in, he made no effort what
ever TO arise. For the last few years his
health has been gradually failing, and
he lies with his head and body covered
speaking to no one unless spoken to.
