The Pope and Pretty Hereto from Peoria

A few years ago beautiful young
girl visited the vatican with party
of pilgrims, and was present at an
audience with the Pope. The beauti-
ful American was sightseer. She
was "doing" Rome and she wanted
to see all Of it's features, ancient,
modern, living and dead, that she
could. She raved over St. Peters q
and waved her hand at the king as
he drove by, and fingered over the
ruins of the Parthenon aud the
Coliseum, even as did Daisy Miller,
of pathetic memory.
The Pope she had her doubts
about. One had to dress in black
to enter the vatican and she under
stood that it was customary to bow
before the pontitf and to kiss his
ring. She belonged to the Baptist
church at home in Peoria, and she
didn't know what her pastor would
say. But she was in Rome to see
things, and when the opportunity
arrived she did as the Romans did.
The black was very becoming-a
trailing gown and mantilla like
veil over her fair hair. She looked
lovelier than ever.
The audience was not half as awe
inspiring rs she had expected. 1t
was quite simple, impressive and
rather touching.
The rontiff spoke few words to
each of the party and asked the
spokesman Of the party many ques-
tions about the country. Then each
pilgrim bowed before the pontiff,
while he extended white and al
most transparently thin hand over
the bent head in benediction.
When it came the turn of the
beautiful Baptist from Peoria she
hung back. She did not want to be
blessed. The pontiff asked one of the
party why she did not approach him.
1t was explained that the fair maiden
was Protestant. The Pope smiled.
"An old mans blessing could not
harm even 80 beautiful hereto as
you, my DEAR" he said.
And then-as Peoria was shocked
to hear by the next mail-the beau
tlful Baptist went forward and bent
her primrose head before the figure
on the pontfical throne.

EDITOR TALKS TO EDITORS.
Uses the Parts of Speech to Describe His
Evolution.

At the recent session of the Georgia
Weekly Press Association, at Cedar
town, one of the most interesting
features of the exercises was the adj

Cordele Sentinel, Oh the development
OF the editor, in which he referred
hnmorously to his evolution as an
ascent of the parts Of fspeech.
First he is an article, an indefinite
article. Next he graduates into an
adjective, with qualifying and de-
scribing powers. AS he rises he adj
vances to the dignity of noun--a
name of any person, place or thing.
In this case Il person who lives il a
place, but makes not a thing. He
declared that person came from the
Latin "persona," the mask worn by
actors through the mouthpiece of
which the voice gave forth sound.
Applied to an editor, implies to blow
his OWE horn and blow it loudly and
long. He stated that most editors
were common nouns and that it is
only now and then that perfectly
proper one can be encountered. He
continued: but they naturally in.
