COMING FINANCIER.
Young Napoleon of Finance Found o
Way to Realize on Promised
Assistance.

A certain member of the stock exchange
set his nephew up in business three times.

sential to success in the line selected for
him, and had failed with each effort. Re-
Gently, when he came with the fourth re-
quest for financial assistance, the uncle de-
INJURED.
You must learn to lean on yourself" he
said. Il can't carry you all your life. 1t
would be an unkindness in me to keep sup
plying you with money to carry on enter
prises that invariably end in assignments.
I'll tell you what I'll do. You owe great
deal as the result of that last failure. Pitch
in on your own hook, and go it alone till
you pay off those de BITS. When you've done
that III give you check for all they amount
to. Such an experience will do you more
good than all the money could give you
now"
Two months later the nephew walked in
with every claim receipted in full, and the
uncle was so delighted that he gave the
promised check.
"Now, that's something like it, he said,
''and III wager you feel the better for the
hard training. How did you manage it,
Dicll!"
Borrowed the money"
Now the old gentleman is telling them
that there is the making Of great tnancier

POPE LEO XIII.
"A Pen Picture of the Greaf 7onfJGf Of the Catholic
Church WHO Just Passed Aday.

Before his return to Rome he visited Lon
don and Paris, aid was received by Victoria,
Prince Albert and Louis Philippe, to whom
he had been warmly recommended by Leo
pold.
Death had claimed the bishop Sf Perugia.
The hearts of the people and the clergy
turned to him, who had endeared himself
to them in his brief sojourn as governor.
The pope acceded to their wishes, but in
tended first to bestow the red hat. When
the nuncio reached Rome Gregory lay dy-
ing.
His successor, Plus TX, confirmed the ap-
pointment. For 80 years Leo filled
:, this pastoral mission. Plus was not unmind-
full Of Gregory's design for his promotion,
but political troubles which crowded all the
years of Plus pontifcate, delayed for six
years the insignia of the red hat.
In 1877 was celebrated the golden jubilee
of Plus TX. His strength was failing and he
know his end was near. Death had just
taken his oldest friend and paved the way
for a new Camerlengo. Plus appointed
Cardinal Pecci. 1t was position involving,
during the vacancy Of the papal chair, the
supreme authority to administer the tenn
poralities of the holy see. 1t was the Cam
erlengo who must use the. silver hammer
upon his brow and thrice call him by his
baptismal name before it could be admitted

that he was dead. Already the shadow of
the cross had fallen on Cardinal Pecci.
January II, 1878, Victor Emmanuel died
in the Quirinal palace-eight days after
Plus followed him, whom he had deemed
the prosecutor and spectator of the church.
When the wires flashed over the world the
news of Plus death, Protestants believed
that the papacy which was claimed to have
come down from Peter was at an end. The
questions arose, will the government not
take possession of the vatican and st. Pc
ter's? Will they, can they, allow the cardi-
nals to assemble freely in conclave and elect
a successor to Plus TX? Will not the GOV
eminent raise the flag of Savoy and secure a
spiritual head Of its own selection who will
be amenable to the house of Savoy? Such
might have been the case had Victor EN-
manuel lived, or had the papacy had at its
head man of less diplomatic skill, less tact,
than Cardinal Pecci. He carefully avoided
everything that could give offence, but was
determined there should be no delay that
he could prevent in assembling the conclave,
which should be ten days after the death
of a pope. At that time the papal tiara was
not a crown to be coveted.
Out of sixty-four cardinals three were alb
sent. Two were III and McClosky only ar
rived in season to do homage to the sue
cessor of Plus TX. The Camerlengo pre-
pared for long session. The doors were
closed. None might enter, none pass out.
But two ballots could be cast in one day
morning and evening. Two-thirds majority
was necessary to an election. If no choice
were made, little smoke emitted from the
burned ballots told the fact to the outside,
waiting people. The first balloting gave
@ votes to Cardinal Pecci-he was seen to
be greatly disturbed-his face expressed
disnay and grief. At the second balloting
the name of Pecci was called 50 times
great tears rolled down his eheeks-bis pen
dropped from his trembling hands. Before

Joseph cardinal and you can be tranquil as
to the future of our boys" On the last day
of the year 1887, l3 years after the death of
his much-loved mother, he was ordained to
the priesthood.
Gregory XVI. appointed him governor Of
Benevento-a most difficult position. He
was not only obliged to cope with political
conspirators, but also with well-organized
bands of desperate men, given over to brig
andage and smuggling position in which
older and more experienced men had been
baff1ed and retired. Three days after reach
ing his post he was stricken with typhoid
fever. The best medical skill was summoned
from Naples and pronounced the case hope
less. The frai body, weakened with ascetlc
fervor, triumphed over disease and death
In his convalescent state, he began his bat
tie, bearing harder on the rich than on the
poor. Soon the Beneventini saw with JOY
and surprise the most dreaded chief with
his band led in chains to prison. Censpira-
tors found it unsafe to hatch plots where
Gov. Pecci ruled and sought an asylum
elsewhere. In three years the reign of law,
with order and peace, was established
that Pope Gregory recalled him to fill a
more important post.
Perugia was the seat of popular discon-
tent: thither Gregory sent the successful
young diplomat. Again he was successful,

the prisons of Perugia did not hold a single

There were educational disputes in Bel

were disordered. Gregory again turned to
Mgr. Pecci to smooth difficulties and bring
order out of chaos. He went as nuncio to
