KINDLY CHARACTER OF
Plus X THE:NEW POPE

The election of Mgr Cavalarr, the
parish priest of CASTILLO. as vicar of
the patriarchy of Venice is the basis
of story which well illustrates the
character of Plus Y.
When the pope decided to appoint
Father Cavallari he sent a telegram
to him to come to Rome at once.
! Upon his arrival the parish priest
presented himself to the vatican and
was received by Plus X. While con-
versing the pope suddenly said to
him:
well, l think I will have you con-
secrated bishop on Sunday"
The priest was nonplussed, and
said stammeringly:
but, holy father, you know came
here with nothing but this ordinary
cassock of parish priest have
on, and am not prepared
"Oh, well that's all right" said
the pope. Don't worry about that.
I will provide you with all that is
necessary"
Thereupon he rang the bell for his
master of the chamber. Mgr. Bisleti,
and gave him this order:
Have an entire bishops outfit
made to order for Father Cavallari
Immediately; also pay all the ex-
penses of the reception and other
things connected with the consecra-
tion and bring me the bill"

francs. $50, but nevertheless he was
always able to give little to the
poor. Plus y, who knew his init

itablencss, his other virtues and
qualities. He went after and brought
out the hidden treasure, the person
of great merit. though little known
such as he himself has always BEEN

the new pope is kind and appreciative.
Here Is another story of the in
effable goodness of the new pontiff:
There is a printing Office connected
with the vatican. and often the work
men have to pass through the sculp-
lures gallery which opens into the
courtyard of the Pigna. During the
time Of Leo XIn. wnen the pope
