POPE Plus X
Pope LeO's Choice Is Famed For MOdeSty,
Liberal Views, Kindness and
High Culture.

Rome, Aug. 4.-Cardiual
Joseph Sarto, Patriarch of Ven
ice. is the successor of Pope Leo
Kill He was chosen to the
papal throne on the seventh
ballot, which was taken this
morning. The new Pope au
nounced that he would assume
the title of Plus Y.
Pope Plus is IS years old. He
was born at Riese June 2, 1885,
and was created a Cardinal in
1898. He is one of the most
learned of the Cardinals and is
noted for his liberal views.
His charities have gained him
the affection of the multitudeS
in his see.
The election at this moment
looks like compromise, as the
Pope (as Cardinal Sarto) had
taken little part in the politics
of the Vatican. Upon certain
occasions, but these were very
few, he has opposed the plans
of Cardinal Rampolla, Leo's
Secretary of State. AS Pope
Plus X, it is more than probable
that the new Poutiff will devote
himself to the religious affairs
of the church and will pay
small attention to politics, ex-
cept to urge conciliation among
opposing influences wherever
possible.
Early in April Pope Leo, in
conversation with Fr. Perosi,
the Italian composer said in
speaking of Cardinal Sarto:
Hold him dear, Perosi. as in
the future he will be able to do
much tor you. We firmly be-
lieve he will be our successor. :"
Cardinal Sarto had been
known for many years as one
of the greatest preac hers in the
church. He is said to be of a
kindly disposition. conserva-
tive, one to weld together, not
to cause dissensiou aud pleases
all factions.

GRAND PICNIC.
July 80, 1908 Was a Marker In History
For Innocent Pleasure.

Last luuISudy was d SlOit'
ously ideal summer day, one
that appealed to the young, the
middle aged and the old to
come, come to the fair grounds
and enjoy it to the full.
The sun rose in its splemdor
and the strong zephyr breeze
kept pace with it through the
bright day making it perfect
gala day for the ladies of the
Holy Rosary Church and for
Rev. FIR. D. F. Sullivan, whose
round rosy face was wreathed
in smiles from hour to hour and
as he was here, there and every
where the spirit of pleasure
went with him and like the
measles, contagious.
The people began to arrive
on the grounds by $3.50 and d
little later sweet streams of the
Monroe Military Band began to
make every ones feet get the
tidgets. but the fun had hardly
started, for there was the gen.
eral howdy, so glad to see you,
how is Sallie's baby etc, to be
gone through.
Then came the dinner hour,
such an hour, such dinner,
the kind Cf dinner that those
Danes and Misses we'll know
how to prepare and to serve.
Just look at that table. Fruits
jellies, pies, cakes, hams. NUT
ton, beef chicken bread, with the
pretty faces of the mattresses
fitting from guest to gu est
like butterflies from, hold on we
cannot call'those big strapping
fellows flowers. But the feas t
proved that the gentlemen had
an unfair advantage over the
fair sex for the waist, bands OF
the peek IA boo waists could not
be losened, while man the ever
ready could and did let out
thelrbeltS a notch.
Dinner over, then came the
hotly contested paceing match
which was won by Rattan ovel
High Patten.
The race over then there was
more music and the introduc
tion by Hon. W. T. Rag land
of the oratorical sun. burst,
Speaker J. H. Whitecotton. IL
put his speech in short metre,
