Something He Couldn't Wear

SOM A& COm10m't w ear
A wealthy American who became a
convert to Rome was very generous to
Pope Leo XIII in money matters. He
had done many generous things, and
the pope had rewarded him with Or
ders and medals galore. For once a
year this convert made pilgrimage to
Rome, where he was kindly received
by the holy father as a son and gener-
ally, until the orders were exhausted,
each time was bestowed with some
fresh honor. On such occasions all
these brave metal pieces were attached
to the rich Americans breast.
'I'u soon end that" the pope remark
ed to a confidante who was at his side
during the levee. Next time l shall
give him a snuffbox," which he did
and beautiful jeweled box it was.
The following year the American
turned up again and was granted an
audience, when to the holy fathers
CONSERVATION the faithful son of the
church appeared not only with all his
medals, but with the snufbox attached
to his waistcoat.

comical sigh, Il shall present hin
