THE POPE.
he Views His End TRANQUILITY.

The Pope has come to that stage of life
when he takes most things TRANQUILITY,
even reports of his imminent death. In
fact, he now even shows a malicious pleas
ure in poking fun at those whom he sus-
poets would not be heartbroken were he
conveyed to a better world. At the least
hint of his not being well all the liberal
papers predict the worst, openly discuss
his successor, and are not always meas
ured in their language. In former years
unjust or unfavorable comments in the press
caused him great pain but he is now more
philosophical, and can even see the hui
morous side of the situation.
Not long ago he had to suspend the
audiences for day, and, of course, the
usual cry rose up. The next day speak
ing to one of his secretaries, he So d smil-
ing: "Well, suppose am. as usual, dying
in the press! Go and get me the X
(naming one of the most anti-clerical
papers,. / want to see myself from all
points of view"
Another time he caused great embar-
rassment to one of the Cardinals. He lay
apparently completely exhausted, noticing
nothing. The Chamberlain, whose office
it is to certify the death of the Pontiff by
tapping the forehead with silver mallet,
entered hurriedly, having been called.
Leo XIII. opened his eyes and said quiz
Mcally: "Well, your eminence, have you
brought your hammer" This so hit the
nail on the head that the Cardinal left
the room, and it is an open question whether
he will ever be induced to go to the Papal
bedside again.
