ANNAPOLIS l897-sIxTEEN

Rome as the Pope's cathedral, inasmuch as
nearly all the Popes for the last 1500 years
have been crowned here. 1t is rich in mar
BILE and mosaic, and contains among other
things. so it is claimed, the original table
on which the Savior ate the last supper.
The body of St Paul, according to the
Roman Catholic Church, now rests beneath
the beautiful Confession of the Church
of S. Paolo fuori lie Mura. This church, as
its name indicates is outside the walls, and
just half way between the city and 1.-THE
Three Fountains" 1t is a. beautiful monu-
ment to the martyr apostle, and one of the
most magnificent basilicos in Christendom.
Curiously enough, the sovereigns of Eng
land were protectors of this church previous
to the Reformation, just as the sovereign
of Spain now protects the Chieso di S.
Maria Maggiore in Rome, in which falls
shower of white roses every August to
commemorate the wonderful snowstorm in
answer to the Pope's prayer
Such, in short, is the story OF the closing
scenes in the life of ST. Paul, as they are
told to-day, and as you may see them for
yourself here. No matter whether you are
skeptical or swallow them all, you cannot
but feel that st. Paul is still tremendous
force in swaying the hearts of men, and
that round his memory tradition will ever
cluster all that is highest and best in the
lives of these saints
The story of st. Peters last days on
EARTH as they are known here, 1 shall
serve for another article.

date of st. Paul's decapitation was June %,
in the year A. D. Sc. 1t will require no
great stretch of imagination to picture the
Pauline" procession on that fateful June
morning, as it moved along the Ossian way.
So far as we can learn, there was only a
handful of Roman soldiers, for Paul was
a willing prisoner and ready to be offered"
The road from Rome to Ossia was very
busy thoroughfare at this period, and st.
Paul and his soldiers undoubtedly had a
splendid glimpse of the Holy Roman en-
pre- in the changing bands and motley
groups Of men and women that passed from
time to time There were in all probability
merchants Fastening to unload their car
goes at Ossia, sailors eager to squander the
savings Of the last voyage, officials of the
government charged with the administra-
ton of the Provinces Chaldean astrologers,
Phrygian eunuchs, dancing girls from
Syria, Greek adventures. mendicant priests
from Egypt bowling for Osiris, and Roman
pbalanxes with spears glittering in the
morning sunlight.
A little further along on the road the
Pauline" procession halted Here it was,
according to tradition, that ST. Paul and
st. Peter took leave of each other. And
at this place on the old Ossian road you
will now find a humble chapel-just half
a mile on the left from the Porta S. Paolo.
A small tablet on the outside of the chapel
tells the story:

The Professional Politician:

To give him his deserts, nor do him inten-
tional wrong, the professional politician, as
he is known to US, is neither very sinister
nor very dangerous creature. Indeed, Jack
in office is hardly SO pestiferous as Jackout-
Of office. Grant him his little place, surround
him with his creature comforts, and, for all
his bluster, he becomes in reality as amabis
piece Of fabby worthessness as one might
meet on summers day. Ignorant and con-
ceited, he is seldom very hard to please. To
strut and yawp, and yeowl at Washington
to strut, and yawp, and yeowl in the state
capitalists the height OF his ambition, and
he comes and goes like the pillows of the sea-
generation upon generation, each much like
Corbett and Fitzsimmons, without the SELF
denial they practice in the training. or their
endurance in the fight. Though poorly paid
he has not the courage to put his wages at a
living figure, because, perhaps, he has the
consciousness OF earning no more. than the
law allows. Uncertain Of tenure, he makes
up the deficiency in bomba5t and the affecta
ton of dignity; great man everywhere eX-
cept at home. In short, like Ben Jonson's
pig:
"Whilst he lives, he lives in clover;
When he dies, he dies all over"
He has come to believe that he owns the
povernment-that he is The government.
During easy times this is but harmless van
it!. Indeed, it has slight foundation in
fact. Somebody must wash the dirty linen
of the political parties, and hew the wood
and draw the water for the official fabric,
and, since better men are engaged in useful
pursuits, the men who are good for nothing
else are left to rattle around as statesmen.
But there is time for all things, and there
must be an end Of dilly-dallying and. shilly-
shallying, even in politics. There Come pc
riods in the public life when The stale capnot
afford to be complacent, when inbecilits,
however imposing, must yield u capacity
and merit, and when neo must snpplaet re
limitations Of men whonl Dame Fo,bNse, 10
hef.dlshabille, allows q % % Washington.

the car suddenly. 'My," said the little fell
