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 of 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

His successor, Plus TX, confirmed the ap-
pointment. For 80 years Leo filed
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 a 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

Joseph cardinal and you can be tranquil as
to the future of our boys" On the 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
batfied and retired. Three days after reach

fever. The best medical skill was summoned
from Naples and pronounced the case hope
less. The frail body, weakened with ascetic
fervor, triumphed over disease and death
In his GONZALES cent 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. Conspira-
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, vas established
that Pope Gregory recalled him to fill a
more important post.

SO successful that there came time when

HAY FAMINE In THE EAST,
Iowa Railroads Preparing to Car.
ry Big Consignments to the
Eastern Markets

| Railroad companies are preparinn
to carry great consignments of hay
from Iowa to the east this fall. The
hay fields of the east We're early ruined
for this year by the excessive heat and
fire, while Iowa has possibility to
garner one Of the largest crops ever
produced by the state.
| Usually the roads at this time of the
year begin to figure on transporting the
corn to the east, but this season that is
matter which has little consideration
and the question of carrying hay is the
all-important one. AT present the
prices being paid for hay, and even
straw, in the east are cNorbtant, and
it is believed the crying demand for
fodder will induce farmers to cut every
acre they have.
To transport the hay it must neces-
sarily be baled and it is believed
that throughout the state the various
railroad companies, if they can Sc
cure the fodder no other way,
will install baling outfits. Last
year the farmers of Iowa did not cut
all OF their crop, as they believed hay
would be cheap. They We're disap-
pointed for hay commanded high prices
and crop men say the price this year
will be fully as high if not higher. The
harvest will be an exceedingly large
one in this state. Even in the bottom
lands which are flooded there is a great
growth. Glover is larger and sweeter
than it has been for many years. Tim
wild hay has reached a marvellous
growth. The moving has been COM
menced and it is believed by some that
the income from the sale of hay will be
greater this year than had the farmers
received pay for full crop of corn.
Some OF the railroad officials say there
is demand in the cast for more than
{ vice the amount the west can supply.
: "Ihe heavy rains which diminished
the corn average in this state said |
one who has Investigated the demands
of the fall market, may not have been !,
such a detrimcnt to the country after
all. 1t is going to give us q mammoth
hay crop and from present indications
it is hay that will demand the eastern
money this year. Fires there have
swept away all their crop, and even
now they are paying fabulous prices
forfodder to feed their stock. The farm
ers of Iowa should be urged to cut all
the hay they can and place it on the
market as there will be none too much
and good strong prices will be realised.

THE CHRONIC WINNER.

| Above all things, be cheerful. OF al
miserable things that ever encountered
the earth, the worst is the chronic
wilmer. Don't whine, for ChriSt's sake
/ The wilmer can demoralize a commun.
lty, political party or church. A
wilmer can wear out tho patience of the
Lord himself. When He made the
world, including man, he pronounced ii
good job. Then the man began to
/ whine that he was lonesome and would
| like to be introduced to some nice wo-
man. The Lord, although he had
already made everything he thought
necessary, humored the man and made a
woman for him, and he gave him every
thing else that was necessary for him.
But the man straightway went to steal
ing apples, and when the Lord took him
to task for it,, he again commenced
whining that the woman had put him up
to it. Then the Lord repented was
sorry for something he had done. He
was sorry that he made wilmer.
Old King Solomon who knew a good
deal about the sex, said that q good
woman is above rubies, or words to that
effect. We never saw q ruby, but we
are willing to take his word for it.
Having given our opinion of whin-
ers, we want to add that a good man
is no SLOUGH. A good man, is
not necessarily a religious man, al
though religion, if not rancid or
"rampy" adds a gusto to him like q
smear of good sweet butter to a slice Of
fresh bread. A good man, as some one
has said is one that pays. A man with
million dollars, if he is slow pay, or
does not pay at all, has bad credit;
while a poor man who pays, and does
not have a dollar left, is good, and men
will cheerfully trust him. Some men
think that because they are wealthy
they should not he asked to pay. 1t is
an insult to dun them, because they are
good for it," The men who keep the
wheels of business moving, are the men
who pay, no matter how little change
they may have remaining in their
trousers, or how much they have hid
away in the old sock A. inome.--Sentinel
