Dear Aunt Busy was glad you
liked my little letter. / tried to do my
best. but / know l make lots of mis-
takes.
wish ! was like the little boy who
lived long ago who, when he went to
school everybody loved him because he
was good and very smart at his les
sons. As he grew up he grew better
and his companions all loved him more
ard more. When he was a young man
the people had great confidence in HIM
and he was sent off 10 a distant land
TO look after the welfare of his coun-
try.
In this distant land he was so good.
So quiet and so intelligent. that the
king loved him very much. Then when
he came home to his own country his
people again loved him. There were
lots of bad people in his own country
and he was asked To go and live with
them and make good people of them.
He did so and he was so successful that
every one was pleased with him. He
was no longer d pig boy, but big
man and he was appointed TO another
great office where he ruled people with
love and where all loved him.
After a good many years his master
died and they wanted man to put in
the place of his master and they all
said that this good man who was loved
in a distant country and loved by his
owR people at home should now be
their master, and they made him their
master When he became their master
everybody loved him more and more.
When kings and emperors were in
trouble they said, Let US go to this
good man and he will make peace for
Us" and he did so. People came from
all over the world TO see him and ne
gave everyone good ADVICE.
He was very fond of the poor be-
cause he said the poor were the chill
drn 1f God. He grew very old and
when he was sick everybody was ask
ing about him. People said, What will
We do If this good man dies?" But God
wanted this good man to be with him
IN heaven. That good boy, good young
man and loving old man was our Holy |
Father, Pope Leo XIII.
ALICE TOWNLEY.
Aunt Busy is proud of her dear, |
bright niece Alice Townley. She has /
written such an excellent article about |
gentle holy Leo XIII. Aunt Busy hopes |
that Alice viii write to her regularly. /
She Sill send her a pretty holy picture |

1.-THE weeks conversation begins with
a continuation of Father Johns argu-
ment. The debate ran along lines of
expediency, dividing Catholic educa-
ton into religious and secular courses,
employing laymen us teachers, but the
government of the college or univer-
sity to remain in the hands of priests
In this way priests might be released
for missions, and deserving laymen
without vocations for the priesthood or
to the religious orders or being mar

Buffalo Merchant Of Four Score Years
CODtemplates Return to Chi

Admiration for Chicago, amounting
almost to love for the western metrop-
oils, is seen daily in people who have
made their homes elsewhere, says the
Chicago Tribune This was illustrated
the other day in Buffalo, when a man
so years old lauded the city in which he
had been a pioneer, and which he had
not seen since he was youth.
Two Chicago women, waiting for a
train in Buffalo, entered queer old gen.
eral store near the river. An old man,
putting a clay pipe, ordered his clerks
to bring chairs, and sat down to enter
tain his visitors.
do you live in Buffalo?" he asked.
The women answered that their homes
were in Chicago.
well, declared" said the merchant,
joyfully. THAT the finest place on
earth. used to live there go years ago;
had a store in South Water street. |
tell you it was great place for young
man! Ferdinand Jones owned a lot on
the north side, and you could buy big
chunk of State street for $4,000.
"I'm going to sell out here in a few
years and go back and open another
store there. There's lot Of money to
be made there yet"
The visitors hurried away to catch
their train and left the merchant of -four
score years contemplating his return Il
Chicago "in few years."
