A very few new jokes were perpetrated

small boy was not so much in evidence

boots and hats, drove for once all

In view of the Pope's continued
strength of mind and body. as recited in
recent cables to the papers throughout
the country, the following article will be
interesting to all, regardless of religion,
as Protestants and Hebrews as well as
Catholics highly esteem this Grand old
man.
When during recent years he was at
tackled by illness it was astonishing how
rapidly he regained his health and
strength. The message contained in the
following letter from His Eminence Car
dinal Rampolla will be somewhat of a
surprise to many, as it is so extremely
rare that praise and honor are bestowed
in such a gracious manner from one so
highly placed:
