TO RESTORE AVIGNON
THE POPE ASKS TO RE,rJFpN m
THE ANCIENT PALACE.
For Almost II Century This Imposing
Structure Was the Home Of the
Popes-Now Used as a Military Bnr-
racks. - ssf

TO those not versed In ecclesiastical
lore, and who have grown rusty in
FreL,h history, the proposition Of the
department OF Vaucluse to remove the
popes from Rome and to restore them
to the ancient papal palace at Ayignon
is nothing less than startling. In the
not impossible event of the holder OF
the keys Of st. Peter finding his posi-
ton in the eternal city untenable, it
has been proposed by ardent Roman
Catholics to invite the papal court to
Spain or England, or even the United
States, but in none Of these could the
vast treasures Of the Vatican be fit
tingly housed for years while Il palace
was building.
Avignon was forgotten. Indeed, it
was scarcely remembered that the
popes had ever lived elsewhere than
in Rome, since the conversion of Con-
stantine. Yet there, in the heart of
lovely Provence, few miles from
Vaucluse, where Americans go by the
thousands to pluck a lovely wreath
from the garden Of Petrarch, is vast
and stately palace of the popes of the
fourteenth century. It Is used now as

sadly despoiled. But it is not ruin;
neither time nor man has marred the
magniticence Of the exterior. and the
interior is capable of restoration by
the expenditure of a million or so, fur
nished from the Vatican. TO remove
to this old pile would have much more
the appearance Of being. a voluntary
act than to seek refuge in 4 land
where the spiritual potentates had
never been domiciled.
The whole of Provence has fas-
cinati for the tourist, the charm of
landscape and tradition. The province

French kings controlled the popes in
Avignon, although the territory Of
Provence belonged to jeanne, Queen
Of Naples and Sicily. The story runs
that Jeanne was an Italian Mary
Stuart. She murdered her husband
one night, and married her lover the
next. Then she had to flee and took
refuge in her French possessions.
While there she tired of a province she
never ruled, she sold Avignen to the
pope for so 900 forms and for abso]u-
ton for her sins. The city actually re-
manned in the possession Of the pom
titfs until the French revolution.

they would intr.luce some Of the live

vogue in our Eastern institutions Of
learning. SO when Il company OF fresh
students appeared on the scene last

them to sleep. The hour fixed upon

had all reached one end Of the hall
when twice their number of sophO-
mores appeared at the opposite end
which curdled the blood in the twenty
freshmen's hearts. They were armed
with pillows, and they marched down
on the covering enemy, determined to
capture them. But the freshmen mus
tered up spunk before the sophOmores
were upon them, and fought for their
lives. In the thick of the scrimmage
half dozen freshmen made a flank
movement and came down on the en-
envy in the rear. A panic seized the

Of them were captives and were being

Hamlin's Youthful Indiscretion.

1t is related of Hamlin Garland, the
apostle of realism, that upon one occa-

asked whether he was an admirer CT

Garland made answer:
when was boy nine years old I
once read three pages in one of Mr..
Dickens novels-I forget which novel
it was"
Upon hearing this answer another
guest at the table remarked that Mr..
Garland's experience reminded him Of
a story told of Beau Brummell. 1t
seems that being once at an ostenta-
tious feast with a noble company the
Beau was asked by one who noticed
that his beauship declined certain
dishes:
"And is it possible, sir, that you
never eat vegetables"

understanding graciousness, ION one
occasion when was child of five, I
ate a pea."-Chicago Record.
