Who viii succeed Leo XIII on the
throne Of st. Peter?
This question is now asked In every
corner of the civilized world. Every
member Of the Roman Catholic church,
from the humbest laymen to prelates
and cardinal princes Is interested in
the answer, and soyerelgns, ministers
and cabinets OF the earth's great ma
lions delye into international politics in
striving to shape the answer,
Six cardinals, as given in the first
group named above, stand out as the
most prominent candidates for success
sion to the papal throne and the fish
erman's ring. Since the first suggestion
several years ago that lAo's life might
be near It's end their names have been
forward In speculation as to the success
sion.
OTHERS AS POSSIBILITIES.
There are eight candidates of lesser
Importance as given above in the sec
ond group. These secondary candi-
dates are all respectively friends and
allies OF one or another Of the five
other leading candidates, In the event
OF a crisis or 4 deadlock In the choos-
Ing Of a succt jsor to Leo XIII, which
would preclude the selection Of any
one OF the five chief candidates, the
ELECTION would probably fall to one
OF the eight secondary candidates.

He has riches and to spare,
But he cannot take his pleasure
There is danger in the air.
So he worries and he worries
AZ he turns life's middle page.
For now he's looking forward
To q penniless old age.
