ITALY AND THE VATICAN,
How tho Bioodiess and Unequal War 10
WaCed.

hOw tho BiOOuiess anu Ouepuhh WI -"
waged.
It is racred maxim. handed down
from age to age by the sue
cessors of St. Peter, that what
ever spiritual or temporal pow
ers have once been placed within
their hands shall be kept intact and
unimpaired, says Macmillan's Maga-
zine. They do not admit defeat. What
they DO not possess de facto they at
least possess de jure. If they have lost
the substance, they retain the shadow,
and IL their earthly kingdom has been
filched that loss, they say. will only
be continued for n season, until that
brighter day returns when all shall
be restored. The holy Catholic church,
it is said, can afford TO stand and wait.
An all-seeing providence will give her
the victory at last. In the belief OF all
true Catholics it is certain that she
will eventually triumph as that the
sun will rise again.
Meanwhile, though she never hastes
she never rests and she presses on her
claims with persistcncy which, If
often silent, never flags. They are
pushed increasingly from hour to hour,
from day to day, from year to year
and if the outside world can forget
them or leride them the government
of King Humbert never can. 1t has
to face an unseeping foe whom no
GOOD will can ever conciliate or ap-
pease, whose claims are incapable OF
compromise. Both demand the right
to rule in the city of the Caesars and the
victory of one side means the Inevitable
and enduring humiliation of the other.
So is waged the boodlcss but unequal
war. Yet, though the occupation OF
the quirinal is securely based on force,
the vatican has weapons in her arsenal
of less material kind with which she
is we'll able to harass and annoy.

j wrote a little poem: twas bright and
sweet and gay
The cleverest and best I'd done for many
and many day.
! sent 1t to an editor-alas! my hopes were
vain!
He coldly wrote Returned with thanks"
and sent 1t back again.
And then took that poem apart and tried
anew inventions:
put 1t into dialect past human compre-
hension
Obscured the sense. and spoiled the rhyme,
and mailed the shapeless wreck
Back to othat self same editor-who prompt
ly sent a check!

She was new and was constructed on the
latest modern plan,
But she lost her heart, like others. and. OF
course, twas lost 20 man:
SO at last the two were married, and they
started married life,
AS they thought, equipped and ready. well
prepared for any strife.
She was posted on his business quite as
thoroughly as he;
She had studied all the details. and, as any
one could see,
She could run his shop or office; and II also
seemed quite clear
She could act as his boOkkeeper or could
serve as his cashier.
She could sell goods on commissions or
could buy on thirty days:
She was sharper than most merchants in
all proper business ways;
She could take" from his dictation. and
dictate to others too;
There was nothing round the Office that
she really couldn't do.
So they thought they were well armored
for life of great success,
But the outcome of their trial was failure
more or less;
They are doomed to boarding houses. and
regretfully they roam,
For while they both can run the office.
neither one can make home.
