WHEN LEO XIII. WAS YOUNG.
Accident That Showed the Late Pope's Human Nnture-Climbed Tree
 for Oranges.

Seventy two years ago when Gregory XIV. was pope, young priest was amusing himself by chatting with a lit tie girl ten years old. They stood on tbe balcony of villa in Rome, says the Golden Penny, and near them. over hanging the wall which separated the villa from the adjoining one, were large clusters.of ripe oranges What a pity" said the little girl, that those oranges belong to our neighbor, for would bs very glad to eat one" As she spoke the young priest ran down from the bal- cony quickly climbed the wall and picked half dozen of the largest oranges, which he hastened to place in the little girls lap. At first she was so dismayed at his temerity that she could not touch them, but, with laugh, ha assured her that he had not committed any crime and that she might safely eat them. A few years ago the duchess of Bresci, an old lady with snow-white hair. went to the vatican to pay her respects to his holiness and Leo XIII. received her with extreme kindness Do you remember. your holiness sud- denly asked the duchess. that day. long ago. when you picked the oranges for me?" Hush. hush! Don't say word about that" whispered Leo KILL. with a humorous smile. as he gently placed finger on her lips.

The first step to- ward closer ties is a Knowledge of the evolution and building up of the South American states But aside from this fact, the story of the overthrow of the wonderful Inca empire by Pizarro and his little band Of desperadoes is one of the most thrilling and fabulous tales of adventure ill all history.

HOW MOTHER KNEW.
One White Chip Told the Story of
 the Card Game.
Youth ThOught He Was smart, But He GouIdn't Fool His Loving Ma Squared Him self by a Rit
 of Elattery.

The son of the house occasionally plays poker. He plays for the love of the sport. and not because he needs the money, but usually when he induiges in good old game of draw he keeps the fact from his mother Particularly does he keep the fact from that lady when the game happens to take place on Sunday.
 On Sunday, the young mans mother says, no one but heathen would play cards, and she frowns upon him so when she hears that he has disobeyed her mandate that he is positively in- timidated.
 The Baltimore News says that last Sunday h;.5 mother, his father, his sister and the servants went out early in the afternoon. This left the son of the family entirely alone, and, as sometimes happens when he is left alone, a half dozen of his friends hap ipened in. It is a curious thing, but just as sure as the house is deserted on Sundays, the young fellows seem to have telepathic information to that eff feet, and they instantly rally around the flag
 The young man took his guests up to his bed chamber, and it is the sad dest thing in the world to have to re~ late, but directly they were all busi1y engaged in the great American game. At, 5i30 o'clock they stopped with the host $250 ahead and, the guests having departed, the young man went to work busily to clear away all signs of their visitation before the mother returned. He took the cards and the chips down. stairs, put the table back in it's place, threw out the cigarette stumps and otherwise put the room in perfect order Then he went down to tea with as clear conscience as ever man knew
 The next evening when he came home from the office there seemed to be some disturbance in the domestic atmosphere! His mother looked se- we're. It was at the dinner table that she made the attack
 Who was playing poker yesterday afternoon in your room, Harold.' she asked

Representative J. Adam Bede of Minnesota is the very essence of frankness, and he tells republican SC crets with refreshing candor. At a speech before the Essex club of Bos- ton, a few days ago, in speaking ot President Roosevelt and praising him highly, he said: "Some people may think he is a little fmpulsive, and oth- CTS say that his watch was few minutes fast when he tock Panama. We'll, he may not have set it at. just standard time. But we are going to take Panama anyway. It was a question ,of ten or fifteen minutes. and what difference did it make whether you took it at sunrise or noon?" Certainly it made no differ ence, if we were going to take it, any way. According to the code of moral ity which so pleases the republican Essex club at Boston, the sooner you grab what you want the higher your merit and the better qualified you are to lead the party of great moral ideas, Of which Lincoln and Sumner were once illustrions members.

 Poker" replied his mother. "and on Sunday!'' z
 The young man saw that the jig was up. He also observed that his parent must be propitiated Tell you what" said he, If you will tell me how you found out there was any poker played in this domicile on Sunday will make a clean breast of the whole affair"
 When I see a little white spot that looks like hole in the carpet under your bed and investigate and find one white chip, the logical deduction is that some one has been at cards, and I know it wasn't your father
 .'I should say not, said that gentle man, triumphant1y.
 The young man felt that it was up 10 him to make his peace. You are a perfect Sherlock Holmes" said he to his mother, and am proud of you. If ever want any detective work done, am going to get you to do it. There's no use in a fellow trying to be bad when he has such sharp eyed angel to look after him. Which delicate bit of fattery so propitiated the powers that were that nothing has been heard since of that illicit card game.

Next to the trust movement t

Next to the trust movement the most potent influence i'll the business world was the simply phenomena boom in the iron and steel trade, says Banker CIews in his weekly letter. The world had never seen such rapid development before. This was based principally upon the enormous de-
 mands of American railroads. which have been practically reconstructed in order to meet the tremendous rush of traffic which the nations growth has imposed upon them. The big car and the big locomotive necessitated heav- fer rails, new bridges and new ter minal facilities; so that hundreds and hundreds of millions were thus ex7 pended, very largely out of current earnings, but in many cases, also, by the creation Of new capital issues. It is probable that the heaviest portion of this work has been done. yet much remains to be completed, and rail- roads will be heavy buyers of steel to continue projected improvements dur ing the coming year if prices remain steady and upon a reasonable level. Another powerful stimulus to the iron trade was the use Of the steel frame building for office purposes This meant q revolution in office buildings, and the business centers of all our large cities are undergoing a process ef reconstruction which is far from

Polar Conditions.

The distance from the farthest point of polar discovery to the pole itself is 239 miles. But this polar radius. though only 239 miles, in extent, is covered by ice gorges and precipices of incredible difficulty, and frost is so severe that no instrument of human invention can measure it's intensity, and it blisters the Skin like extreme heat. The great- est progress that has ever been made across these wildernesses of storm, of fury and desolation was at the rate of six miles day.

By the terms of a treaty between. England and Japan, negotiated in Jan uary, 1902, each of these countries is pledged to go to the assistance of the other i'm case either one Of them finds Itself engaged in war with more than one power. If, for instance, Japan should come to blows with Russia. and France, R1s2a's ally, should take a hand in the fight, then England would be bound by treaty ob- ligations to come to Japan's assistance. It is this which makes England view with dread the possibility of Russo Japanese conflict. The treaty she ne- gotiated with Japan in 1902 was in tended as threat to Russia The threat, however, has missed it's mark, as Russia has moved steadily On to- ward her goal wholly regardless Of Bngland's futile attempt to check her. The English press, which at first hailed the Japanese alliance as master stroke, now criticises 1t adversely. LIE A<OliuOne CQCSldeOA AOI AAStduSu, declares that it Is attractive but rash" This criticism, says an ex- change, undoubtedly states the Eng fish view of the alliance. It was rash for England to bind herself hard and fast to an agreement which may at any moment precipitate her into dis astrous war, She has not forgotten the lesson taught her by the Boer war, which exposed to the world her mili- tary weakness, and, therefore, she has no stomach for lighting. For several weeks she has been exerting all her powers of persuasion to keep Japan from drawing the sword. Tn a few days 1t will be known whether or not she has succeeded in, preventing her fiery ally from endangering the peace of the world by challenging Russia to a trial of arms. If she has failed the outlook for herself is a threatening one.

Great Chicago Fire.

Tn the great Chicago fire of October 3. 1871, there were 2,100 acres of land burned over, nearly all of which area was thickIy covered with buildings. There were nearly 1s,000 buildings de- stroyed, of which about 2 400 were stores and factories; and there were few short of 150, ,000 people rendered homeless by the calamity. The extreme length of the burned district was 3A miles, and it's greatest width a little over mile.
