n1 HE man has a noble face" is
 lCD the remark that has been of
 ten heard since the announce ment came from Rome Tuesday that Joseph sarto had been elevated to the pontifcal throne. Although all the cardi- nals are no, doubt great and good men their characters vary just like those of common mortals do and the pictured faces of some of the possible successors to Pope Leo, which have been printed far and wide do not seem particularly prepossessing to the casual observer who glanees over them at the breakfast table. Some of these men have the cold. austere visage of the midiaeval prelates who were frequently more noted for their zeal than for their charity. Comparatively little is known of the new pope but his face reflects the serene benevolence which bodes well for the future peace and pros perity of mother church. We of the laity are forced to form our opinions of Plus x by his pictures alone and it is the ab- sence of knowledge concerning this most interesting character which has elicited more frequent comments on his coun- tenance than upon his life.
 The ignorance concerning the past ca- reer of the pope Is surprising. especially when displayed by the prelates of the Roman Catholic church. It is reported that when the news of his election was received in London the first question asked was, Who is Sarto?' No one be- ing able to answer satisfactorily there was a rush to consult the records in or der to find out something about the man who had assumed the robes of the la mented Leo. There is something very similar in the characters of these two men. Both have the art of making men love them and it is predicted that Plus x will prove worthy of his illustrious prede- cessor.
