Pope Declares He Will Never Part
with Timepiece, Presented by
His Mother.

The story of the watch which Pope
Plus carries is we'll worth telling, says
the Springfield Republican. One of the
cardinals was at the vatican recently,
and while talking Pope Plus took his
watch from his pocket to- see what
time il was. The cardinal noticed that
the timepiece was a cheap nickel af-
fair with an old shoe-string attached
to il in, place OF u chain. The cardinal
drew his own costly chronometer from
his pocket and asked the pope to take
it as gift, and give him the nickel
one. Then the pope's face lit up with
one of those smiles which, if one has
been fortunate enough to see, can
never be forgotten, and said that the
old watch was quite good enough for
him. He added that it was given to
him when 4 lad by his mother, who
saved up her hard-earned coppers until
she could buy it, but there was no
money left for the chain. One of his
sisters gave him the oe-string for
that, and he was so pleased with his
gift that he promised his mother he
would carry it as long as ii kept time
The pope has never had another
watch, and says that he never will.

WEDDINGS TOO EXPENSIVE.
Costly Accessories Often Unnecessary
and May Be Curtailed with
Perfect Propriety.

Recently q woman who has dwelt
many years 70 the fashionable world
remarked thai as the years go on and
the expenses which include modern
necessaries increase, in the same ratio,
the requirements of an up-to-date fash
ionable life multiply; and these nova
days are totally different from those OF
even 20 years ago.
Formerly . brides trousseau was all
that she had to think about. Now, how
ever, she finos that there are other &C
cessories which considerably augment
her expenses.
One very costly item is the expensive
souvenir of the occasion in the shape of
some article of jewelry which she is ex-
pected to give to each one of her brides
maids, and often also (although this is
not obligatory, some costly item of the
bridesmaids dresses, such as hat, muf
or some other accessory

ment by the introduction of the mascu-
line element
All of which. taken together, forms
no inconsiderable portion of the general
outlay, the aggregate sum of which
amounts in some cases to a small for
tune.
There is only one decent way to get
out of all this said bride-elect recent
ly, "and that Is to have no bridesmaids
at all. Ify have them you are expected
to do all these things, and my people
find that my trousseau and wedding
breakfast are quite sufficient to please
the family sithout all the rest of it, so
am going to cut all that out"

State Library Commission Arranging
to Put Books on Farming in
Circulation.

indianapolis, Feb. 3.-That the far
the best literature on agricultural sub
jects, the state library commission is
compiling a list of such books and is
preparing to put them into the circu-
lating libraries. The agricultural de-
partment of Purdue university has
been asked to submit titles of books
that would be especially advantageous
to the farmer 1t is expected that
within a few months books devoted to
agricultural subjects will be one of the
regular departments of the travelling
libraries.
This step is taken to meet the in
creasing desire on the part of the In
diana farmer within the last few years
to make a scientific study Of his bust
ness. The Indiana farmer is familiar
izing himself with the chemistry of
farming, and the natural forces that
govern the production of grain.
The farmers have, too, become inter
ested in the circulating libraries and
much of the time of the farmers insti-
tutes has been given to the discussion
of library work. The farmers request
ed that books bearing on the growing
of crops, besides other subjects con-
nected with farm life. be put in the cir
culating Libraries. The various pha-
ses of farm life are now part of the
daily program in the district school in

A Brutal Prize Fiuht.

Detroit, Mich, Feb. 3.-Joe Cans,
the lightweight champion, last night
demonstrated his superiority over
Mike Ward of Sarnia, Ont, the light
weight champion of Canada, in so de-
cided a manner that the police stopped
the bout at the expiration of two and
a half minutes of the tenth round.
Ward was just able to stagger about
the ring and another of the punches
Cans had been raining on his jaw
would have put him out. Ward was so
badly beaten that it took his seconds
over an hour to thoroughly revive him
after he was led to his corner.
