story OF a Relic.

For many years Leo XIII. collected
relics Of the saints, and in time sue
ceeded in accommodating a goodly num-
Der. On one occasion he expressed a
desire to obtain a portion Of the skele-
ton of st. Martial, which had long
occupied an honored position in the
cathedral at Limoges, but the canons
OF the cathedral paid no heed to it,
and when he a little later formally
ordered them to send him a portion
Of the skeleton, their answer was a
curt refusal. The pope was naturally
/ displeased, and the canons would certain
" have heard further from him had not
The bishop Of Limoges OPPORTUNITY in
terfered. He told the canons that they
could well afford to let his holiness have
one Of st. MartiaI's teeth, and he wrote
to Rome and suggested this compro'
mise to the pope. The latter accepted
/ the offer, and at once instructed a noted
] dentist to go to Limoges and extract the
i tooth.-Detroit Free Press.

Employees at the various stedons say

THE WILD ROSE.

THE WILD ROSE.
oh, wild rose bloomed in fair retreat
Where zephyrs gently blew,
Flooding the nook with. her incense
Queen of a scented crew.
But coyest of all was this wild rose
+ With her dainty petals fair.
When the west wind came with his WOO
ing keen
A true love to declare.
And day by day through the springtime
He sought in lovers mood
To lay his heart at the roses feet
Near the border of the wood
Thus in sun and shade did the west wind
flee
To preserve his counting sway,
While the wild rose bloomed to matu-
rity
And loved in her rosy way.
All! she gave herself to the amrous wind.
AS he sped the westland down.
And the bold groom blew the rose away
To the rolling fields Of brown.
He kissed her cheeks in a merry race
Throughout the livelong day,
But at dusk he tired of her fragile face
And carelessly sped away!
Into the clods of a serried field
She fell with fragrance spent.
But the west wind never a sigh did yield
For the flower innocent
In the chilling field all torn and rife,
The wild rose dropped and died.
But the angels wrote in the Book of Life
OF foweret sanctifed!
