as the birthplace Of four Popes-lnno-

and Boniface VIII.-Gi0achino Pecci
LEO XIII.) was born, March ?, 1910.
He was a member Of an old and lhus-
trious family of Siena. Toward the
middle of the thirteenth century the
Pecci family already welded great
power in the country. They soon be-
came so powerful that when Pope
Martin V. visited Siena he was very
comfortably Quartered. together WITH
all hi~ court, in the house Of the DrOtn-
ers Giovanni and Giacomo Pecci. who
further lent him the sum Of 1o,OOO
fiorins.
When the future Leo XIII. was born
it was O dark time for the Papacy,
Italy being then under the heel Of Ma
poleon and Pope Plus VII. prisoner
and divested Of his temporal power.
The clouds lifted. however, in 1914,
when, as one result Of Napoleon's over
throw, Pope Plus returned to his soVer-
eighty. He at once restored the So
ciety of Jesus. which had been sup
pressed by Clement XIV, and to the
Jesuits the Count and Countess Pecci
intrusted the education Of the future
Pope.
In 1882 the young student entered the
academy or College for Noble Eccle-
siastics. the nursery of most destined
for q diplomatic or administrative ca
reer under the Papal Government.
There he was educated in civil and &C.
clesiastical Jurisprudence, as we'll as
theology. In 1885 he won prize or

The Asiatic cholera was sweeping
over Italy. Mgr. Pecci not being yet
in priests orders, could not minister
to the spiritual wants and comfort OF
the plague-stricken. but he was act'Vc
and devoted in assisting his chief, Car
dinal Sala. in his important work OF su-
perintendence over the cholera hospi-
falls. 1t may have been due to his anX-
iety to serve the sick and dying in q
priestly character that. OH Novemher

Sub-Deaconship and DenconShip at the
hands of Cardinal Odescalchi, the
Pope's vicar-General. in the Chapel OF

While still in his thirty-third year
Mgr. Pecci was appointed Apostolic
Nuncio ut the court Of Belgium. with
the titular dignity Of Archbishop OF
Damietta. In the struggle between
secular and religious education he
strove to show the superiority OF the
religious method by making the relig-
ious schools better than the secular.

Toncka. Kan.--One squad Of Eastern

assigned by the State Employment Di-

The train on which the students We're

Rush counties, shortly after daylight.
1t was boarded there by a crowd OF
wheat growers. who were determined
to have harvest hands at any cost.
The students were asleep. Dur tue,
farmers asked their GRAND In the coun-5

Oldest House in the World.

Not since humanity began delving
into the mysteries Of the existence Of
primitive man has a discovery been
made (says Science Siftings) so rich
in it's suggestiveress Of the home life
of prehistoric races as that made by
the United States revenue cutter Bear
or her recent cruise to the Arctic
ocean. A house fuilt by human beings
at least 5000 years ago, and probably
of an antiquity far greater, was discoH-
cred by Alaskan natives near Point
Barrow, and many of the utensils used
by the people who made it habitation
were secured. Some hatchets, stone
knives, and other stone and bone i'm
plements belonging to races that -four
ished before the dawn Of history, have
frequently been found, but never be-
fore has a house in which they lived
been found preserved through the
wrecks of time and all the elemental
catastrophes that have strewn the sur
face Of the earth with ruin and death.
