Of narrow mind might have come forth
as a champion against them. but not
such a man was Leo. Intolerance
formed no part of his creed; class
prejudices found no favor in his eyes
In his mastery encyclicals he spoke au-
thoritatively and most wisely, not al
ways on purely ecclesiastical subjects,
but very often also on subjects which
are of worldwide secular interest.
Thus he was more than an eccelsiaStic;
he was also Il great statesman. OF his
personal character, all who were ever
privileged to know him, have spoken in
the highest terms. That he was very
charitable and kindly is known to all.
In word. he bore himself nObly in his
high office, and now that he has gone
to his reward all who have watched his
sterling and loyal work will admit that
he was a true and eminently sagacious
shepherd Of the people.
Many anecdotes have been related as
| to the personal characteristics of Pope
Leo XIII. He was accessible and affa-
bic to all who sought an audience and
consequently thousands of those who
have visited Rome retain vivid i'm
pressions of the Pontiff. Simplicity
and frugality of living enabled him to
husband his strength and to accomplish
an amount Of work dpyOlying uDOn him
as "bead of the church" which to
many men of greater physical strength
would have seemed appalling. But

blessed ones of earlier years.

confidence. l do not think 1 have ever
seen a really good portrait of a child
taken by man or woman who did not
tnstinctively delight in children. The
simple truth will be found at the root
Of the success of all popular profess
sional child photographers, for it is
essential that the little sitter shall first
If all be placed at complete ease. Many
children are as nervous of sitting as the
most fastidious of adults; others, again,
will positively refuse to sit at all, out of
sheer contrariness, and one must be
prepared to exert their utmost talents
% face the ordeal successfully.
But even supposing that child has
been discovered who, without tears or
the necessity of entreaty, is willing to
sit quietly for its portrait, it will be
found most troublesome operation to
find really natural and pretty position.
If children will sit at all, they will sell
dom submit to any arranging of their
hands and feet or fitting of their heads,
and the wise one will not be slow to dis
cover that if apparently left to them
selves they will naturally drop into a
pleasant and graceful pose-which one
must be prompt to- catch.
The portrait reproduced of a little
girl with her right hand resting upon a
.at is pleasing example of chi1d's
ability to naturally assume a graceful
position. The writer simply invited her
to sit by the eat, having prearranged the
camera and put in the plate. At the
right moment he called her attention
and made the exposure, with the result
that a charming picture was obtained,

a good deal to be desired, being some
