When President Roosevelt sent full set of his books to the pope he knew nothing of the uniform white vellum binding, and the volumes were brave with tree calf and tooling and the fin est skill of the American binder. On their arrival in Rome it was feared that all those fine covers would have to be torn off. but compromise was hit upon. The American bindings were left intact, and over them, like an outer cover, the papal bindings of vellum and gold were set

VERY SERIOUSLY HURT.
Sonora Railroad Roadmaster Thrown
 from a "Go-Devil"

George w. Montague. roadmaster of the Sonora railroad. is lying in Nc gales al deaths door, says the Citizen. He is suffering from Concussion of the brain. and his case is said to be hope less. Dr. Fenner was called to Nogales last night. and left the city in all haste on special train, as the case is most urgent.
 MT. Montague was placed in this critical condition by a very peculiar accident. He was riding into Nogales Sonora. on what is known to railroad men as a "go-devil" This strange vehicle is composed cf a very small platform with a low seat. and two wheels rest on one rail while the third supported by a long arm. runs on the other rail. The machine is propelled by gasoline. From some unknown cause the machine which MT. Montague was riding exploded. and he was hurled violently to the ground. He was brought into Nogales. Sonora. and it was found that he was suffering from CCnCussiOn of the brain.
 George Montague is one of the best known railroad men in this section. He has been roadmaster cn the Sonora road for a number of years. and has held other responsible positions. He stands high in Masonic circles. being past grand master Of that order in this territory. His friends hope that he may survive the shock which he has sustained, and socn be or the road to recovery.

have been able to guess those good num-
bers which would have made them ricn
people.
A few years ago a strange fact hap
pened in Naples, which, without the time
~ intervention of the police, could have
had fatal consequences. One of these
good Franciscan monks who go around
asking for aims, which they always share
with poorer than themselves. had the
misfortune to comply with the import
unate insistence of an cid woman and to
give her three numbers came out of the
box and the old crony won a nice round
sum. From that moment the reputation
Of the monk was made; ne was a sorcer-
er, he knew the good numbers, he must
give them.
His business brought him constantly
into contact with the lowest classes Of
the population, among which the passion
for gambling is the fieTcest. His life be-
gan to be a burden for him. He could
not show himself anywhere without be-
ing surrounded by an eager crowd, which
prayed, begged, asked, menaced to have
cut of him those blessed numbers which
would put an end to poverty, hunger and
destitution No matter what he said his
deniels were not believed. His words
were eagerly drunk by the excited crowd
and preposterous interpretations put to
them. They tried to extract numbers
from his reticence, if they couldSnot OBJ
tain a straight answer.
At last some of the people began to
think that it was the fault Of his stub
bornness, of his unwillingness to help
them, that sealed his lips The fact was
there, clear and undeniable. The old
woman had Won on the numbers given

the month and the respective number
of the month in the year So far Christ
mas, II, which stands for December, and
G Christmas day, are played through
DerS and l9, which means the 18th or
March. This year Easter has given
and 20, and, TO speak only Of Naples tho
city which has more patron saints than
any in Italy every month, nay. every
fortnight, mas its fixed numbers which
q passionate gambler surely plays for
fear Of missing the occasion Of growing
rich for life.
Financially speaking. ii has been a
great mistake Of the Italian government
TO suppress. many religious festivities
which, not being any more officially
kept, are gradually forgot, because it lg
just on the recurrence Of those days that
the treasury Golfers are replenished from
the pockets of the lowest classes Of the
population. Heaps Of money were
staked In Naples on 8 and A. the num-
bers OF St NIncenZO Ferreri his feast
falling on the 5th Of April. But neither
nor 4 made their appearance on the lot
terry targets, and, as have said, almost
a riot broke out because it was impOs-
sible that the good saint had forgotten
his faithful people, evidently that thief
OF government had taken away from
the box the dreaded numbers.
Many serious reasons are in the way
Of an act of parliament which would
abolish such a state Of things. First Of
all the state budget would not stand
the yearly loss Of 3OOO1.0O0 francs. That
easily collected and the already bur
densd shoulders Of the real taxpayer
could hardly support such an additional
weight. A large number Of persons live
by the lottery. They are regular state
employees who have gained "a right %
their places and whom it would be inn
possible TO indemnify If their work Waa
taken away from them.
