Guadalupe SO Installed.
LEGEND OF THE VISION
Mexico Would be the Scene of
the Festival.

- petition is soon to be presented
to the Pope urging that the lady of
Guadalupe shall be created the pa
iron saint of all the Americas. If the
Holy Father should see ft to grant
this strongly urged request great re-
llgious festival will be held four years
from now in the city Of Mexico. Lay
men, priests, bishops, cardinals and
archbishops will gather from all parts
of the world to take part in the mag
nificent services.
Such q festival would be the great
est religious event in the history of
the continent. Each nation the world
over has particular saint recognized
by its Roman Catholic population, and
the Catholics of Mexico hope to have
the lady of Guadalupe awarded the
honor. The religious writer's of the
past three hundred years have dis
cussed the authenticity of the lady of
Guadalupe. Mexican historians have
universally agreed upon it as being

generation was known as Tonantzin.
That word is variously translated
Smother of the Gods" or sQueen of

was required in their transition from
one faith to another.
PAPAL SANCTION OF THE VISION.
It was not until 1857, more than 200
years after the apparition, that the
Holy See granted the requests of the
Mexicans and gave permission for the
religious celebration of Guadalupe
Day, assigning the proper prayers and
offices. In the decision conceding this
Benedict XIV. used very cautious
language and did not commit the
church to actual belief in the appari-
ton.

THE STORY OF A JOKE.

Two Men Made It, but Another Fellow
Got Paid For It.
The managing editor Of a now dead
and forgotten newspaper was an admirer
Of humor. Without spark Of it in his
own composition, he had learned in his
long newspaper experience that ju-
dicious injection of wit and fancy made
paper popular. He learned the lesson
earlier than the other editors in the
town, and his was the first paper to en-
liven its pages with bits Of humor. The
"old man" recognized his own incapac-
ity in the matter Of jokes. He knew that
thousands laughed at things that SEEM
ed foolish and fat to him. When he
started using humorous matter, he hired
a young man to supervise the prepara-
tion and publication of the stuff. Know
ing absolutely nothing about jokes and
jokers, he employed a man who had
made reputation among other people
by his work ON an eastern funny paper.
The young man had brilliant idea.
He offered a reward of $2.5 for every
original joke brought in by members Of
the staff. The ''old man" backed him
up-nothing was too expensive If it sold
papers. The result Of the prize offer was
. remarkable outpouring Of alleged wit.
One man caught the fever the first day.
Timidly he went to the professional
humorist.
"Do You buy Jokes here3" he asked.
The humorist took the proffered pa
per from the new mans hand and read
it Eyes" he said, and handed back the
paper.
The newcomer retired crestfallen.
Immediately following this passage at
arms Frank Walsh, the best hearted fell
low in the office, scrubbed few lines ON
. sheet Of paper and handed it to the
professional humorist. Without word
the latter wrote out an order ON the
cashier for o.. 60 The other members
Of the staff wondered at the occurrence,
and watched the paper for the appear
ance Of the joke. 1t was not published,
and after few days the boys began to
ask about the witticism the editor had
paid for and did not use Finally Walsh
told them what 1t was. Here it is:
"Young Man (handing paper to edi-
tm)-Do you buy jokes here?

Gus must be first accepted as the truth
that the Papal authorities have treated
Ethe matter with extreme conserv-
atism.
The legend OF the lady Of Guadalupe
Is parculiarly interesting and runs in
This way:
On the ninth or twelfth day Of De-
Dember, in the year 1881, Juan Diego,
converted indian, was going up
Tepeyac. one of the mountains near
The city OF Mexico. Passing the spot
where chalybeate spring is now he
heard the sound of sweet music and
beheld a rainbow, from which suddenly
appeared to him q beautiful lady, who
old him she was the Blessed Virgin
Ind that he must 60 to their bishop
md inform him Of what he had heard
md seen.
This the Indian did, but he made no
Impression upon the Bishop. Four
lines the Vergin appeared to Diego
Ind always in the same spot, and at
The last meeting she cured him OF a
Seri0us malady by the water OF the
sSalyheate spring, which suddenly

She then told the Indtnn 10 60 upon
he mountain near the top and gather
ome roses, which he must take to the
Bishop with the message that they
ame from her and that she desired
he Bishop to ssbuild q church on the
nountain and worship her there as
he Vergin Of Guadalupe"
Nothing but pines and scrub grew
bn the mountain, as Juan Diego knew
hill well, for he traversed It daily.
But he did rs he was told and found

plucked them and wrapped them In

WANTED 70 BORROW HIM.

The Queer Request Two Women Made and
the Reason Therefor.
A genial Philadelphian, who for OBJ
vious reasons does not care to have his
name printed on this occasion, secured
parlor car seat on an express train for
Reading few days ago. and as he was
about to pass through the gates was sur
prised to hear himself accosted in femi-
nine tones with the somewhat startling
question, "Please, mister, could I bor-
row you for awhile?''
Looking around, he found two buxom
women, who hastily and hesitatingly
explained that they were riding on a
pass made ont in the name Of gentle
man and his wife, and, as the gentle
man was not present, they wanted the
genial looking citizen to place his
bought ticket at the disposal Of one lady
and take the other one under his wing,
while he personated the absent owner
Of the pass.
(which is my wife3' he inquired,
with an inward qualm, lest his own alb
sent better half should ever hear the
story.
"You can take your choice, sir, said
the lady in search OF an escort, and he
promptly did SO by tucking the arm Of
the younger fair one under his own and
leading her into the car. The couple
proved to be right jolly travelling COM
panions. and the citizens only regret in
the transaction was due to fear that
the story might leak out and get home
ahead of him. But 1t didn 't-Philadel-

Later the costly cathedral, q huge

ORIGIN OF THE NAME.
Considerable Importance attaches
the name Guadalupe, the name by
which the Virgin directed that the
picture OF herself should be called.
But she was talking to an Indian in
one of the Nahua dialects. Scholars
affirm that the letters I'd" and ''g' do
not occur in those languages and that
the nearest an Aztec could come to
saying Guadalupe would be Tecuata-
lope.
The ancient name of the hill where
the apparition is said to have taken
place was Tepeyac. No certainly
traced connection can be made out,
but 1t is a fact of great significance
that Spain had her own lady Of Quad
alupe before the conquest.
According to the Historian Salazar,
a Vergin by that name was the object
of worship in u small village of Anda-
lusia. The historian goes on to say
that Herman Cortez was much given to
the worship of this saint, and that he
had placed in her shrine silver lamp
and an emerald -incrusted scorpion of
gold: Mexican history reveals no con-
nection between Cortez and the Next
can virgin of Guadalupe, yet it is sup
posed that one existed of which all
trace has been lost.
THE HILL OF TEPEYAC.
The hill of Tepeyac had long been
the scene of pagan rites of great re-
ligious Importance The Indians re-
garded the place as sacred long before
they were taught to venerate It by the
Spanish priests. Sahagun relates that
the temple to the Virgin but succeeds
an older one of the Aztecs in the same
locality! The same Catholic historian
says that just as the Indians now
gather from all parts of the country to
share in the festival of Guadalupe
Day, Dec. l., so in earlier times mul-
titudeds were wont to assemble yearly
in the same place to join in the great

The country is about entering upon
another struggle for the protection Of
the rights and the promotion of the
interests of the laborer and producer,
which is, in my judgment, of even more
moment than the first. [ have been
surprised that the issue has been so
long DELAYED. The fight ought to have
been iolced years ago, on the lines of
absolute and unqualified free coinage
of gold and silver at the ratio of Is to

land or any other foreign power.
If we are to be subserYient to Eng
land in our financial policy why not in
other matters? The financial policy Of
q nation determines its strength ard
prosperity, and the nation which con-
sents that another and competing ia
ton may regulate It's financial policy
will find its producers Impoverished
and its industries desfrog ed, and 80

than mere dependency of the power
to which it SUI rendered the most vital
