A spiteful girl is pretty certain to
turn out spiteful woman.
Every boy who wants to be priest
doesn't always end a saint.
A girl who doesn't like dolls is sell

An idle boy may be good, but he
rarely accomplishes anything when he
grows up to be man.
A sharp-tongued girl never makes
good wife, and generally stays bit
ter old maid, seeing evil in every
body.

1t is a nobler thing to bear and prop

would almost certainly be the next
Democratic candidate for president.
Even now he may become the next

bringing to justice the bribers in st.

Missouri legislature has brought him
to the attention of the whole country.

Cardinal Herrcro who was taken

cardinals created by Leo NH shortly
before his death. He was born at
Xerez. Spain, in 1922. and in early
life was lawyer. In early manhood
he won great renown as an advocate,
poet and journalist. During the chol-
era epidemic of 1854 he devoted him
self to the cause Of suffering human
ity to such an extent that he con-
cluded to devote himself to the
Church. AS priest, his learning and
eloquence gave him great prestige, and
he was advanced steadily until, in
1881, he became archbishop Of Cor

X, until last Tuesday Cardinal Sarto,
the patriarch of Venice, few if, any
Americans are able to speak intelli-
gently. That he is an able. cultured
and pious man is not to be doubted. 1t
is equally certain that he is immense
ly popular with the Venetians who
know him best. He is man of sim
pie habits and tastes, and Gisikes dis
play and gorgeouSness. He has never
taken any part in the politics of the
Church. He has never been Il men,
Der of the Roman curia, and conse-
quently never took sides OH questions
of church policies. His life has been
spent in the actual administration of
parishes and doceses. He is one of
the greatest preachers of the Catho-
lie Church. Possessed OF Il highly
cultured mind, strong and imposing
physical make up, genial and graceful
manners, he bids fair to become one
of the great pontitfs. His ideas are
said to be liberal, and while we believe
that altogether too much distinction
has been placed by the press upon the
difference between liberal and reaction
airy cardinals nevertheless we believe
he stands midway between the young
and the old cardinals. Undoubtcdly
his election is especially pleasing to
the Italian government and to the Ital-
ian people. 1t is expected that his in
fiuence will be eNerted towards set
Ting the difficulties existing between
the papacy and the king of Italy. Such
a course would be immensely pleasing
to the Italians. for they are loyal Cath
olics and at the same time are large
ly in favor of a united Italy, for since
the unification of Italy under the
Savoys the temporal affairs of the
people have progressed more smoothly.
Being himself the administrator of Il
great diocese. it is probable that his
work will be directed toward eStab-
fishing and building up the Church
through its archbishops and bishops.
rather than by dealing With the gov
ernments of different nations. Such Il
policy would he especially pleasing to
American Catholics, who have learned
to know that the Church succeeds
best where it is entirely independent
of the state. Having himself been a
friend and associate of the common
people all his life and acquainted With
the needs of the poor. it is reasonable
to expect that he will attempt to work
for the people directly through the
Church organization rather than
through the Church in conjunction
with the different governments, as
might have been the case had some
cardinal connected with the Roman
curia been elected. AS he does not
belong to any of the different orders
i'll the Church, he will be freer to take
up the question Of the friars, which
now presses for settlement in the
Philippines and in France. And best
OF all he will take up his great work
absolutely free. He has the advantage
of never having expressed his opin-
ions upon questions of Church policies.
He therefore has no settled opinions to
defend and 10 policies which previous
opinions and actions might more or
less connect him with. He is there
fore in Il position to meet the questions
as they press forward for settlement.

Michael Davitt has written letter
in which he reproac hes King Edward
for his failure, during his visit to Ire

liberate Colonel Lynch. Lynch is now
the only Irish political prisoner, and
the king could have greatly increased
his popularity in Ireland by pardoning
him. Such an act would have done
no harm, as the offense for which
Lynch was condemned was purely
political and only technically so at
that. Nothing that King Edward
could have done would have pleased
the Irish more and created more good
feeling between the countries. Why
did he miss the opportunity:

The fireman did not answer-per
haps he did not hear-and, setting
her teeth, Sylvia assumed the grim
burden alone. The ponderous locomo

with her throttle agape, and the fire

fury.
It seemed to Sylvia as though they
dropped down the grade as an aero

sistible, awful, touched only by the
circumambient air.
All Sylvias familiar methods OF
gauging speed were now at fault, but
she believed that for the moment
they were running two miles to every
minute. Under the strange lassitude
born of her deadly peril, she relaxed
her tense muscles and drowsily
closed her eyes.
She was rudely shaken out Of her
lethargy as the train struck slight
curve half way down the grade. The
locomotive SHE'D like frightened
steed, and shook in every iron mus
Gle. The flanges shrieked against the
rails, the cab swayed and cracked.
For a moment the startled girl was
sure they were upon the ties. But 1t
was only the terrible momentum lift
ing them momentarily from the track
and in a few seconds, the fire-eating
behemoth righted itself. Yet its beau
tiful equilibrium was gone; and the
engine rolled and pitched, and rose
and fell, like water-logged vessel
in storm. The bell, catching the
motion began to toll.
The young fireman suddenly sprang
to the floor of the cab with face
torn by superstitious fear.
What if she leaves the rails!" he
cried.
But instantly recovering himself he
sprang back to his seat, with the
blood of shame upon his cheeks.

AS the track became smoother the

tongue licked up the flying space
for many a mile before the momen-

long bridge spanning the Mattunk,
twenty miles from Stockton, died
away, the fireman called out, cheer
lily:

A college professor who was a wise
guy said recently that the reason men
in co-educational institutions resented
the persistent taking of honors by the
girls was that they knew that the ap-
parent superiority was really ficti.
tious; that it was they-the men
who were to occupy the positions Of
Importance and be the leaders of the
world after graduation. If the man.
ager of home commanded as good a
salary as the manager of bank they
wouldn't think so.
