Days and Places where visitors Are
Allowed TO See Him.
"How can see the pope?" is one OF
the first questions asked by many Wis
itors for the first time in Rome. ON
the seventh day of February is the
anniversary of the death of the late
pope, when a requiem mass is cele-
brated by Leo KILL, or by cardinal
officiating for him in the Sistlne
chapel and is the greatest function OF
the year at the Vatican. the pope al
ways celebrating the mass. To be
present is a great treat, the pope being
carried in his chair on a platform sur
rounded by his Swiss guard. cardinals,
bishops and others, wearing his tiara
and blessing the people as he passes
through the crowd. The bestowal OF
hats on the cardinals recently created,
and the ceremony of the Identification
of new saints, these are the few func-
tions at which those who have been
able to obtain tickets have the prIyi-
lege of seeing the holy father. In at
tending any of these functions, ladies'
must be in black, with wells on their
heads, no gloves; gentlemen in full
dress suits, no outer garments or hats
allowed in the chapel Those persons
who have influence with cardinal
can sometimes obtain the privilege OF
being present at the private chapel,
which holds about fifty persons. on
Sunday morning when the pope cele-
brates the mass. After the mass
few receive the holy communion from
the holy father, then priest cele-
brates mass, Immediately after which
those who have received the holy COM
munion are received In turn by his
holiness, kneeling before him and re-
ceiying his blessing. He holds a short
conversation with each person. and

''The donkey, who rather undeserv-

chus, while the ass of Silenus was
raised to a place among the stars.
Apparently he was a more intellectual

supposed to be at present Ammonl-

lectures on poetry, and would even
leave the choicest luncheon of thistles
to do so. wicked as a red ass" ran
an old proverb. which the Copts be-
lieved In so firmly that every year they
sacrificed an unhappy animal Of the
detested color by hurting 1t headlong
from a wall.
In an old black letter translation of
Albertus MagnuS the donkey figures
in the following extraordinary recipe:
Take an adder'S Skyn, and auri pig
mentum, and greeke pitch of reupirit-
tcum, and the wake of newe bees, and
the fat or grease of an asse, and
breake them all, and put them all in

is exceedingly laudatory of that ex-
cellent animal. HE refuseth no bur-

his foote against any one; he bytes
not; he is no fugitive, nor malicious
affected. He doth all things in good
sort, and to his liking that hath cause
to employ him" But what chiefly fills
the worthy author with admiration is
the donkey's voice-his "goOdly, sweet
and continual brayings," which form
"a melodlous and proportionate kind

twenty years ago when l was working
on the Half Diamond f ranch in the
White river valley. About five miles
below the ranch was the camp of old
Sitting Bull, the famous Sioux warrior,
who was killed in the Wounded Knee
battle in 1890. His camp was in the
brush about two yards from the trail,
and the weary traveller could not see

FIRST NIGHT IN A SLEEPER.
Adventures of a Rural Couple Bound
for Niagara Falls.

for Niagara Falls.
During last August when cheap ex-
cursion trains were being run to Mag
ara Falls from nearly every section of
the country, as is the custom every
year, was given charge Of a tea car
train of Pullman sleepers delivered to
the Erie by a connecting line running
into Darkest Indiana"
The passengers on this train were OF
the raw blue jean type. many of them
were crossing the border of their state
for the first time, and big majority
of them were getting their first taste
of Pullman luxuries. AS the shades
of night began to fall the thoughts OF
the passengers turned to sleep. In the
rear of a Pullman was an elderly
farmer and his wife hailing from one
of the interior counties of the state.
/ They were the first people in the car
to ask the porter to 1K their bed, so
they could turn in" Their tickets
called for one Of the upper berthcs,
which the porter Immediately made
up for them. After the porter had
brought them the ladder his attention
was called to the other end of the car,
when to the Amusement of the other
passengers in the car the old lady
quickly mounted the ladder with the
alertness of gymnast, climbing over
the curtain pole, and dropped into the
berth. When the porter came along
the old gentleman was In the act Of
going through the same performance.
The porter intercepted him before he
had completed his giant swing and
gracefully parting the curtains, he
showed the mystlfied tiller of the soil
that there was an easier way Of get
ting into an upper berth than by way
of the roof, at which the old nan
smiled and said he wondered why
Maria had not thought of splitting the
curtains.
The train, which was running spe-
cial and making few stops, had not
run very far after this little incident
when | felt the train give n slight
lurch as if the air brake had been sud
denly applied. l gave little attention
to this, but had hardly dismissed IL
from my mind when the train lurched
again. 1 was then convinced that
somebody was meddllng with the mir
brake cord which runs along the roof
of the car. Two officials of the pas
senger department of tine road who
were in the rear sleeper felt the jerk
ing of the train, and climbing steplad-
ders at either end of the car began to
look for the cause Of the trouble. The
officials at the forward end Of the car
quickly discovered the leak. The Old
couple who had scaled the curtain
pole to get into their berths had mis-
taken the air brake cord for a clothes
line and had hung all of their wearing
apparel, including boots and shoes. on

stretched the cord so as to set the air
brakes. Just as the plot had been dis.
covered the old lady threw her "shaps''
over the line. This broke the camePs
back. The air Kissed, the brake was
set like a wise, and the train brought
to a dead standstill After the cord
was unloaded the old couple were told
Of their mistake, and the train pilOted
