1t occurred to me last Sunday morn

ordinary joys of the city in the good
old summer time do not comprise.
Hence l ordered a hanson, started

experience, for it showed me several

JoHNsroNE's GAME IMPULSE.
Minnesota Man Gave His Last Nickel
to Salvation Army.

A Withholding man pursued a SaIVa-
ton Army girl through the corridors or
a Chicago hotel the other night and
into the street. Just as observers
thought they had to deal with lunatic
he overlook the girl, gave her dollar
and thanked her for taking it. He saw
that his conduct had attracted some
adverse attention, and gave the eX-
PLANTATION that seemed to be due.

hard times, he faced the world with
practically nothing but his hands. He
went to Minneapolis and tramped the
streets for work in vain. At last he had
but cents between him and beggary or
starvation.
Walking along the street, uncertain
whether to try again or give up the
battle altogether, a Salvation Army girl
asked him for a nickel for the poor.
Moved, perhaps, by the unconscious
irony of the request, he gave her his
nickel and told her it was his last cent.
1.-The LORD won't forget" she said, and
went on.
Almost convinced that the Lord had
forgotten him, he watched her at her
work The next thirteen men she &C
costed gave her nothing. The four
teenth gave her a dollar. He remem-
bered that he had asked for work at a
certain mill several times and had al
ways been refused. He made up his
mind to ask again and again, up TO
fourteen times. But it was not neces-
sary. On his first application after
giving away his last cent he got a job.
That was the end of his distress. He
saved his wages, and a year or two
later bought a little mill out in the
woods. His business prospered stead

Services from Earliest Youth.
His late holiness was born at Car
pineto, in the Diocese of Anagni, in the
Papal States, on March 2, 1910, being
christened under the name of Joachim
Vincent. The Society of Jesus, which
it was afterward the, first care Of his
pontificate to restore to its ancient po-
sition in the councils of the church,
was intrusted with his education,
young Pecci being sent at the age of
years to the Jesuit College at VII
berbo, where he remained until his 14th
year.
At this time his mother died, and he
shortly afterward proceeded to Rome
to continue his studies at the Jesuit
College in that city. When he was IS
years old he secured the first prize for
chemistry and physics. His aptitude
for natural science, however, in no way
interfered with his taste for literature
and classical studies, and even in those
early days he was remarkable for the
elegance and purity of his Latin, which
subsequently found such notable ex-
preston not only in his encyclicals and
ecclesiastical work, but in the higher
plane of poetry.
He obtained in 1884, the degree of
doctor of divinity, and entered the
