LEO'S WELL ROUNDED LIFE.

Tireless patience was the cornerstone
of the late pope's character. This pa
thence was the secret of his genius, and
because of it he was able to transform
a comparatively friendless church into
a church having friends everywhere.
He could wait. If need be he could
wait months or years until is time came.
He had few delusions. he saw things
as they were, not as he wished them to
be. lie held an enemv to be an enemy
only until he could make him friend
He recognized talent in those who
opposed him, and good idea was a
good idea no matter who proposed it,.
He never made tie mistake of under
valuing the skill of an opponent. He
had the genius that could recognize the

BY A NEW DECISION
Washington Indian Fighters TO Re-
ceive Pensions.

Washington, July 20.-A decision
by the secretary OF the interior will en-
able about 100 old soldiers or their
heirs, residents of Washington and Or
egon, to draw pensions. Under the
ruling of the commissioner of pensions
it was ne essary for those Who applied
for pensions on account of service in
the early indian wars to prove their
muster into the service of the United
States, and that they had actually re-
ceived pay from the United States.
Nearly 100 of those who served in
the Washington and Oregon Indian
wars were never mustered into the fed
eral service and their Applicant ms were
rejected. Appeal therefrom was taken
to the secretary of the interior, who
has decided that it was the intention
OF congress TO grant a pension to every
man who served thirty days in those
wars, either in territorial regiments or
home guards, and that it was not nee
essary to prove muster into the federal
service or the receipt of pay therefiom
One hundred applicants for pensions
will therefore receive them.

At midnight the pope was in state

whether he would ever completely

weak, continues steady. Shortly before
