THE POPE IMPROVING.
Pontif Better Yesterday Than He Was the
Day Before.

Rome, March 6-AH the sensational reports
circulated regarding the health of the Pope are
unfounded. Although he is not yet restored to
his normal condition. he is better to-day than ne
was yesterday, so much that he gave his
usual audience to Cardinal Rampollar and later
had a conference with the Sub-Secretary OF
State.
Although Pope Leo did not attend the usual
Lenten sermon preached in the Vatican to-day
before the cardinals and bishops, he has been
sitting up all day. and his cold has almost en-
tireIy disappeared.

1T rests me well. and it soothes my soul
And 1t comforts me through and through,
Tis magical cup, and m fair spehncund
As I sit and sip it with you.
Shall We sip Il together thro' all the years
The future is bringing our way?
We could meet rigs brsvely its hopes and
fears
So pray do not answer nay"
TIE bachelor maid. with a sigh content,
Stirred the nectar about in her cup,

Before looking merriiy up
And saying: why, where Will you so, my
dear.
For a nice little haven Of rest?
Fer If we are married, don't you see
You never can be my guest?'
So these bachelors twain sat quietly Gown,
And talked the matter DER,
While the kettle sang, and the fragrant
herb
Its part in the council bore
And the story enus, as stories should,
In wedding bells and laughter:
