bo,,ever tn imagine that Great Britain has no
definite policy in her dealings with foreign couh-

main on terms of close and intimate friendship
with the United States. That. indeed. was the

King Edward is following in her footsteps i'll

With the other settled policy of England

her position in the Near Orient distinguished
from the Far East. 1t is policy vast in its
conception and of extraordinary interest, not
alone to the great powers of Europe, but also
to the United States, which through its acquisi-

MEMORIAL DAY.
Hoe 1t Is Observed an The South for
Blue and Graz.

In the North they sometimes call it Decora-
ton Day. but in the South it is always Memorial
Day. Both have the same meaning however, to
the old soldiers of the country, who remember
the dark years of the early part of the sixties
and Memorial Day in the South is being more
generally observed each year, for the custom Is
being handed down from the veterans them
selves to organizations of their sons, who join
in the professions and take their part in the
beautifying of the cemeteries. Each year finds
thousands of those who wore the gray uni
forms falling in line Memorial Day, to tramp
perhaps three or four miles in order to pay this

that the entire family have to a large
degree the characteristics which have
made Plus Y. so popular.
That manly sturdiness is one of the
leading traits OF the peasant pontif is
generally known. but this trait is no
less marked in the case of his older
brother. Angelo. The latter was for
inerly soldier in the Austrian army.
and 1t is one of his proudest boasts that
he voted for the annexation OF Venice

- n THEN Giuseppe Cardinal Sar-
to was elected head of the
HE Roman Catholic church peo-
pie were generally aware
that the new pope was man
of very humble birth, but comparative
ly little was known even in Italy re-
garding his antecedents and his reia-
tives That a plebeian should be cho-
sen TO the papacy over such patricians
as Rampolla and the Vannutellis was
not a matter of especial surprise to
those acquainted with the history of
the holy see, but there was naturally a
widespread desire to learn the facts Of
his early life and the environment in
which the future pope had moved as a
child. A few scanty details were speed
lily forthcoming, but until recently
nothing very definite was ascertained-
1t is now known, however, that Plus x.
is of even more lowly origin than has
commonly been supposed.
His parents and his grandparents
were peasants of the well known Ital-
ian type, and so far as is known their
forbears were also peasants. An at
tempt has been made to connect Plus
X with Andrea del Sarto, the famous
artist of whom Browning sang, but the
name Sarto-which in English means
tailor-is a common one in Italy, and,
with no evidence to the contrary. it is
safe to assume that there was no con-
sanguinity between the artist and the
pope. Be that as it may, the genealog-
zeal tree of the supreme pontiff has not
been traced 10 any great height. His
grandfather, however, had the distinc-
ton OF serving in the army of Pope
Gregory XVI, and il may have been
the tales that the youthful Giuseppe
heard at his grandsire's knee which
bred in him a desire to enter likewise
the service of the church, not as a SOL
der, but as a priest
AT the time of Giuseppe's birth the
Sartos were living in the low, squat
cottage shown in the Illustration. Both
his father and his mother, who before
her marriage was Marguerite Samson,

creasing family Signora Sarto busted
herself as a dreSsmaker, and many a

naming sister, whose photograph is
reproduced in the Illustration, is the
only member of the family living in
Riese today. Striking as is the resem-
blance between the pope and his moth
er, there is, by the way, an even more
pronounced similarity in the features
of the mother and this daughter. In
the illustration the daughter appears
the elder of the two. but this is owing
to the fact that the mothers photo

was younger than the daughter is to-
day. The latter married a Riese inn

never persuade his mother to leave the
simple cottage and make her home with
him, as two of his sisters had already
done. Not that she felt that his eccle-
siastical preferment had placed an i'm
passable obstacle between them; but.
as she put it, she had spent all her days
in a cottage, and she would feel out of
place and unhappy in the palace that
had become his home as patriarch of
Venice. Thus it came about that the
people of Riese were frequently treated

and which has already endeared him to
