Pope Leo's Joke.

Rome Letter in the Chicago Record Herald.
That the pope's mind is bright is Illus
trated by the daily experience Of those
who have business with him. and his men,
ory Is said to be as retentive as ever. He
also retains his sense Of humor and In
dulged in a quiet little satire not long ago
at the expense OF q most estimable and
pious member Of one Of the royal houses
Of Europe. This lady. who fancies herself
an artist. painted his portrait upon a piece
Of canvas, leaving a blank place at the
bottom In which she requested him to write
his autograph. When the picture was re-
ceived It was such an atrocious caricature
that the members OF the papal household
determined to destroy 1t. but the pope would
not permit them to do so. Taking his pen
he wrote in Latin this inscription:
1T Is /: be not afraid. Leo Kill"

cesses Few Americans, indeed, are so well
qualified to write intimately about their
own land. This writer was required by his
professional obligations to study the
States at close range, to ascertain their
points Of interest for the sake Of travellers,
to discriminate between places and sections.
His travels brought him into close contact
with the people and enabled him to judge
shrewdly of their habits and customs. Con-
sequently his Land OF Contrasts Is intel
Egently and for the most part satisfac-
torily written. 1t Is fair in that it does not
attempt broad indiscriminate generaliza-
tions and while what he says now and then
may not fit a particular section and may
offend It's residents slightly, there is al
ways the assurance that there must be some
ground for his observations in some part
of this very broad and diversified land.

Japan's National Anthem.

From tie Los Angeles Herald
Japan has, perhaps, the shortest of all
national anthems. 1t Is called "Kimf Ga
Yo," from its first three words, and con-
sits Of thirty-two syllables, which count in
poetry, however, as thirty-one. The ex-
ceeding brevity is due to the national fond
ness for conciseness of phrase and for
economy Of expression in all forms of art
The patriotic song is what the japanese
call "tanka." or a verse Of five lines, the
first and third being Of five, and the others
Of seven syllableS. Below Is given the an
them in Japanese, with an English transla-
ton:
Kimi ga 20 wa
Chiyo no yachiyo nj
SaZare shi no
1wawo to narite
Koke no mumu made.
May our Lords domain last
Till thousand years have passed
Twice four thousand times o'ertold,

"Safe" Hotels.

From the Hartford (Conn.) Courant.
Our private belief is Tat Commissioner
Damrell Is jogging along hand-in- hand with
Madame Truth when he says there isn't an
absolutely SAFE hotel In Boston. But 1t
is also q bedrock fact that some Boston
hotels are very much less unsafe than
others Some New York hotels. too, and
Philadelphia hotels and Washington hotels.
The proposition holds good Of every big
city In the united States and Of several
hundred small ones

A short time ago Miller & Carroll. coun-

been no decision on the matter as yet.
Miller & Carroll have raised consti-
