to-date, even to housekeeping, which never
occurred to any other pope. He employed
an army of scrubbers, and, as he had LOO
rooms, it was a work OF time, but it was
done with the thoroughness Of New Eng

writer, but thought it undignifed for him
to use one. IT.
His manner and his person, his mind and
his speech were peculiar, like none round
him. His disposition was serene-his faith
sublime. He had a strong sense of humor
and vein of sarcasm. A royal lady painted
his portrait-it was such an atrocious carica-
ture it amused him. She asked him to affix
his autograph-he wrote in Latin, 1T isl;

and scientist who visited him in 1899 said:

added it was not for the mere love of liv-
ing. He knew, Is all knew, that he was
mentally as lively as ever; said he was ready
to battle in the intellectual arena as lonp a.
his bones held together. The scientist said
he never saw one of his age whose oreaniza-
ton was impaired so little. He scorned
doctors and doctors stuff, yet he was cared
for and watched over like baby by Dr.
Lapponi. He ascribed his youthful spirit
to his blithe, contented mind, for which he
gave thanks and glory to God, but would
add, with his peculiar smile, II take little
credit to uqyself, too, and am proud that I
feel a. young as do. If one has something
to live for, then one must put off growing
old a. long as possible, and that is what 1
have done"
Leo delighted in disputes. His eyes would
sparkls-by smiles he would encourage his
opponent in every way possible. For him
it was real mental gymnastics.

Decide Against Insurance Company.
Helena, Mont, July 1.-THE supreme
court has decided that insurance COM
panies operating in this state are liable
for taxes upon the excess Of premiums
received over losses and expenses in the
county where the agents conduct the
business. The decision is regarded as a
very important one and may greatly in
crease the revenues of every county in
the state of Montana. The decision was
rendered in the case brought against
the Northwestern Mutual Life Insur-,

monroe Ooctrone No Longer on Trial.
Says Henry Watterson.
Col. Henry Watterson, speaking at a din
ner given him by the Binghamton, N. Y,
Press Club said:
Fifty years from today Germany will
bear the same relative position to tbs
United States that Holland does now. Fifty
years from today, unless the United States
places sustaining hands under John Bulls
arms, God knows what will become Of him.
THE Monroe doctrine, or republicanism,
are no longer on trial: it is monarchy that
Is IN danger. The President of the United
States today has ten-fold more power than
the King of England and the Emperor OF
Germany.
1t accordingly may be well for us to sit
down and see what the Monroe doctrine
Is. We have said that no European power
shall acquire territory on this continent.
If we are going to protect every little
mongrel nation in order to uphold the Mon
roe doctrine, why let's pay Germany her
debts and tell her to get out. But IL we
start on this course We will need an en-
larged navy and large army
III l owned this government I would
take the Isthmus of Panama and blow out
a canal a mile wide so as to let the two
oceans flow together. Then I would say
to England: Take all Of South America
that you want and to Germany. Take all
OF Central America that you want
would greatly prefer to have England and
Germany In these countries than the mon
grel governments that are there now.'
