Berlin. Aug. 4.-Replying to a ques-
ton whether the election of Sarto was
acceptable to Germany. a representa-
tive. OF the foreign office answered.:
.U%nqualifiedly so, from an official
view point. Sarto is a milo -mannered
man. and has never been active politi-
cally. Germany is fully satisfied that
Sarto does not aspire to restoration of
the temporal power of the papacy
Paris. Aug. 4.-The election of Car
dinal Sarto created a distinctly favor
abb Impression in governmental quar-
tiers here, removing the fear that the
choice might fall Upon a radical or re-
dictionary candidate. Although little is
known Of Sarto's political tendencies
he is considered to be one likely to
avoid conflicts and to continue the poll
icy of Pope Leo and Rampolla.

Champagne for Strangers.

1T chanced that the train on which ]
was speeding over the Southern Padhc
lately for California stopped for several
hours in the breezy town Of El Paso." re-
marked J c. Robie, OF Chicago.
"I had heard Of the gayeties OF the
place and took advantage OF the halt TO
do little sightseeing. Among the places
entered was q big, finely fashioned re-
sort on a level with the street. from
which could distinctly be heard the rat
tle OF ivory chips. AS d seemed that peo-
pie went in and out with no ceremony, I
walked in and found In operation pretty
nearly every game OF chance Of which I
had heard
"A goodly number Of men were trying
heir luck at monte. poker, roulette. and
.he Ike, and evidently there was good
deal Of coin changing hands. one OF the
proprietors came up and aceosted me
with great civillty, seeing that I was a
stranger. He didn't once ask me TO play
when / told him that had only about
half an hour longer 10 remain IN the
town. but remarked ne was sorry could
not stay over till the next day and see a
bull fight. Then he asked me IL there
were any cards being played on my train,
and when / told him 1 didn't believe there
was single pack on board, he hurried
on and came back with six brandnew
decks Of the first quality. which he in
sisted / should take without any compen-
samon.
II couldn't get out Of taking them, and
neither could decline to drink with him
a bottle OF champagne which he ordered
despite my protest, ten minutes before I
departed. There isn't any moral to this
story that I know Of, unless It be that
the El Paso people carry hospitality to
the limit, and that times are so prosper
