THE GENIAL PONTIFF
Evidences of Leo Kills Kind

A QUICK READER OF CHARACTER.

An Incident OF HIS Generosity which
Secured Him a Trustworthy Serv-
ant-Witty Reply to q Woman
VisitOr-Study's RuinOus Eject on
HIS only Thrashing.
A we'll known Catholic once told a
story OF the Kindness and discerning
power of Pope Leo XIII, says the
Rome correspondent of the Pail Mall
Gazette.
"Our pope" said he, reads character
at glance and is rarely deceived. One
evening, when nuncio at Brussels, he
was entering his carriage to go to din
ner at the house of Count de Ballet
when just as his foot was on the car
riage step q workman, wretchedly
dressed, rushed forward, insulted him
and attacked him personally. His serv-
ants, ready In his defense, seized the
aggressor and proceeded to make
things hot for him. but the pope. then
simple Mgr. Pecci, stopped them and,
calmly and kindly addressing the man,
said:
"'My friend, bear you no malice for
what you have done. Are you in need?
Come to see me some other time, and
let five franc piece slip into his hand.
Needless to say, the workman, after
much encouragement. went to see him,
and went so often that the nuncio
eventually took him into his service as
q domestic. and Leo Kill, who re-
tanned a benevolent recollection of him,
used to recount that he never had a
servant more respectful and more to
be trusted"

The installation of the electric light
in the Vatican was inaugurated not
long ago. 1t is on very extensive
scale, comprising 5000 lamps of six
teen candle power. says the Pail Mall
Gazette. The pope said recently, in re-
ferring to this noteworthy event in the
history of the apostolic palace, "Peo-
pie will no longer be able to reproach
the Vatican with being the enemy OF
light"

Right Rev. Camillus Paul Macs,
bishop OF Covington. o., who made his
ad lumina visit to Rome in May, 1902,
speaking of the characteristics of the
pope, said in the Cincinnati Enquirer:
"a very singular trait of Leo XIII.
is his great store Of good humor and
wit l have known no man more re-
sponsive to n pleasant joke or more
keen and quick in his reply. 1 recall
the case of a certain French bishop
who visited the pope several years ago,
and upon leaving began to weep. The
holy father asked the reason of his dis
tress, and the prelate replied that he
could not control himself at the
thought that he would never see him
again The pope answered: Why will
you not see me again? You are still
young man. The bishop, who was
about sixty, looked up at this reply,
and, seeing the smile of keen delight
on the holy fathers face, took his
farewell with conflicting emotions.
I'm March, 1902. a certain French
lady, who regularly visits the pope ev-
cry two years, upon leaving inquired
whether she should come again. and
received the answer, Once more and
then'-and he pointed upward"

A story which typifies the two domi-
nant characteristics of the pope, his
LONELINESS and his humor, is as fol
lows, says a writer in the London
Tit-Bits: One day when he was be-
set by pilgrims begging for some me-
mortal of him, something which his
hands had touched, an old lady said to
him. Holy father, give me one of your
stockings; 1t will cure my bad leg"
with pleasure, madam" the pontiff
replied. but may as we'll tell you it
has never cured mine"
