DUTIES OF THE CARDINAL.
high Church Dignitaries Must Have
Some Exceptional Qualities.

ugh Church D~ignitaries Must Have
Some Exceptional Qualities.
The title of cardinal makes it's first
appearance in history in the fourth
century, and church authorities de-
clare that the name means "princi-
pal" and that it is also derived from
the Latin ''cardo," the hinge or pivot
of a door. In the early days certain
principal churches in Italy were
known as cardinals, and the title Of
cardinal was sometimes given the
chief pastors that directed them. To
this day the canons of the cathedrals
Of Milan, Ravenna, Salerno, Naples,
Cremona, C~ompostella and BARR wear
scarlet robes while officiating in the
sanctuary. Pope Plus V. ordered them
to relinquish the title Of cardinal that
was given them "by courtesy" though
they retain their robes.
1t is a remarkable fact that, though
the Office of cardinals is the highest
in the gift of the church next to that
of pontiff, it may be bestowed on any
member Of the Catholic church, lay
man or cleric. 1t does not require that
a man shall have spent his years in
the priesthood or that he should have
worn the robes of bishop. Cardinal
Antonelli, whose opposition to Pope
Leo at one time attracted the atten-
ton of the whole world, was appoint
cd while he was vet 2 Law mnmhar
Of the church. But once the beretta
and calotta are bestowed it is obli-
gatory for the recipient to take holy
orders within q certain period of time.
In rank at court the cardinal, wheth-
er he be deacon, priest or bishop, is
equal to a prince of the blood. And
this is one Of the things that give to
the diplomacy Of the church much Of
its power. The representatives Of the
Pope at the courts of Austria and
Spain and at Paris hold grave politi-
cal powers and their advice is sought
alike by the rulers of the nations and
the leaders of the parliamentary par
ties. The interests of the church in
these countries are SO great that the
cardinals appointed to represent Rome
are among the best informed and most
astute dignitaries at the command Of
the Pope.
At Rome various duties fall to the
lot of the cardinals. Most Of them
bold posts at the head Of the various

A strange story comes from China
of a remarkable operation for append
;citis performed by Mrs. William H.
Logan, wife Of a medical missionary
in China. When living il the far i'll
terror of that vast country, 800 miles
from the nearest doctor, her husband
was stricken with appendicitis. Dr..
Logan saw that his only chance of re-
covery lay in an operation which he
asked his wife to perform according
to instructions which he gave her. A
more appalling position for a human
being to be placed in could scarcely
be imagined; but this heroic woman,
who, might, perhaps, have screamed if
a mouse had run over her feet, placed
her husband under an anesthetic, and
with her unskilled hand successfully
removed his appendix. Afterward,
when he had rallied sufficiently to be
moved, she took him 800 miles by
wagon and rail to a physician, who
completed the cure.
A farmer named Ed Armstrong was
driving a bunch Of cattle along the
road near Salinas the other day, when
a couple Of automobile enthusiasts
came tearing along at a tremendous
speed. Armstrong feared that his cat
tie would become frightened and STAN

the automobiles to wait until he could
get his herd in shape. The men only
laughed at him, and continued going
at full speed, defying Armstrong to
catch them. He applied the spurs to
his horse, took down his RATA from the
and was swinging the loop
preparatory to landing it over their
when the courage Of the occu-
pants of the car waned, and the ma
chine was brought to a sudden stop.
The drivers waited patiently while the
drove his herd to one side
Of the road, and, after thanking them
he allowed them to pass, with
out even so much as referring to the
ugly disposition they had shown IN
til he had forced them to wait.
