AFTER RED HATS.
Candidates in America Are Becoming
Numerous.

London, Oct. 21.-Candidates for "the
purple at the consistory which the
pope usually holds about Christmas
time, according to the Rome cores
pondent of the Pail Mall Gazette. are
arising everywhere their numbers SEEM
ing to increase in proportion to the dis
lance from Rome. The United States,
for instance, besides the candidates of
long standing, ArchbishopS Corrigan
tendencies in the American Roman
Catholic church, has on this occasion
two additional aspirants for the Red
Hat. There are only four vacancies in
the college of cardinals, and the Ameri
can prelates are thought to have few
chances of selection, as the pope is
credited with a determination not to
have more than one cardinal in the Uni
ted States, fearing that the friction and
antagonism would be difficult to har-
monize and might be fatal to Catholic
ism in America.

Because you are better than the man

A man knows he has enjoyed himself

laugh; a woman, when it gave her a
good weep.
There are a whole lot of mysteries in
this world that are never explained be-

A woman gives her neighbor a bad
reputation with the same consistency
she gives her cook a good reference

When a man has the will power to be
able to insist upon a girls singing sec

drove him wild, he has the will power to
become president if he wants it.
