good, coming from scattered sources and

the cushion of steam between it and

OF touching the bottom of an iron with

Now place upright on table five or

the books. The depressions should de-
crease in depth toward the books Of

Rome, Aug. 30.-Mgr. Guidi, who has
been appointed apostolic delegate in
the Philippine islands, was born in
April, 1852. at Alatri. province of Rome.
He studied at the Gregorian university
and College Romano until 1870, when
he took the degree of philosophy. Pope
Plus TX highly regarded the peculiar
talents of the young student, and sent
him to the University of Innsbruck,
where he remained until 1877, taking
the degree of theology and law. Guidi
was appointed in 1879 secretary of the
extraordinary papal embassy which
represented the pope at the marriage
of King Alfonso of Spain, and he re-
manned secretary to the nunciature at
Madrid until 1888, when he acted as
secretary to the extraordinary papal
embassy at the coronation of the car.
From 1883 to 1887 he served as secre-
tary of the nunciature at Lisbon; from
1887 to 1890 he was auditor of the nun
ciature at Munich; from 1890 to 1892
he was secretary of extraordinary &C.
clesiastical affairs at the vatican, and
from 1892 to 1898 he was auditor, and
then charge daffaires in Brazil. In
1899 he was sent on an extraordinary
mission to Ecuador, and from 1899 to
1902 he has been secretary of extraor-
binary ecclesiastical affairs at the

STAMPEDE BY FITCH.
Stirring Story of a California Con-
vention Fight.
(Sacramento Bee.)


1t was in that remarkable conven-
ton that Tom Fitch delivered the
speech which wrested the nomination
for attorney general from Thomas l..
Carothers and gave it to w. II. H.
Hart. Carothers had the nomination
IN his hands. 1t is a question if a
majority of the convention were not
actually pledged to him.
Fitch arose and painted a marvellous
picture of a supposed scene in war.
he described the contending armies.
In words that glowed and eloquence
that held men GREATNESS, he sketched
panorama Of the lurid scenes of that
day. He depicted the Union soldiers
battling against hope, being driven
back and back, and fighting inch by
inch over the lost ground. He shad-
owed forth in somber tones the ire
trievable defeat of the Union forces
unless reinforcements could be had.
AS only Tom Fitch could, he pointed
out in marvellous English the almost
certain death that awaited any mes
senger who would be sent on the err
rand for help.
The hearers were all a-quiver.
Fitch went on in his Incompatible
way to tell how one lad volunteered
to carry a message for reinforcements.
back dashing down the gully between
the contending forces, with screaming
shot and kissing shell flying all around

terance, with thrilling eloquence of
words and of manner, and yet with
each syllable ringing clear as a bell,
he showed the lad to his hearers car
rying the message in safety and saving
the Union army by the reinforce
ments which he brought.
Not a sound was heard as Fitch
rushed along in his torrential elo-
quence. Delegates seemed fixed like
statues in their chairs. Men and
women leaned over the gallery balus-
trade, open-mouthed, as though fear
ful of losing a single word in the mag
nificent rush of marvellous English.
Fitch grew more and more impas-
stoned, his audience more and more

second, but still rushing on in his
impetuous speech, Fitch concluded: 4
And now, gentlemen of this conven.

name of its soldiers dead and its SOL
dlers living-I nominate for attorney

The Cranes Desire.

Did you ever hear the old fable of
the swan and the crane? A beautiful
swan alighted on the banks of the wa
ter in which crane was wading about
seeking snails. For a few moments
the crane viewed the swan in stupid
wonder, and then inquired:
Where do you come from?'
II came from heaven" replied the
swan.
And where is heaven?" asked the
crane.
"Heaven!" said the swan. heaven:
have you never heard of heaven?" And
the beautiful bird went on to describe
the grandeur of the Eternal City. She
told of the streets of gold and the gates
and walls MAIDS of precious stones; of
the river of life, pure as crystal, upon
whose banks is the tree whose leaves
shall be for the healing of the nations.
In eloquent terms the swan sought to
describe the hosts who live in the other
world. but without arousing the slight
est interest on the part of the crane.
Finally the crane asked: Are there
any snails there?''
"Snails!" repeated the swan; mot
of course there are not
Then" said the crane, as it contin-
ued its search along the Shiny banks
of the pool, you can have your heaven
I want snails''
This fable has deep truth under
lying it. How many a young person to
whom God has granted the advantages
of a Christian home has turned his
back upon it, and searched his wife, his
family, his all, for the snails of sin?
How many a girl has deliberately
turned from the love of parent and
home to learn too late that heaven has
feen forfeited for snailS?
