Her Crucifx.

Lady Edmund Talbot left Rome re-
Gently more pleased with the long and
interesting audience she had a few
days before with Plus x. She and her
son were presented to His Holiness by
Father Brandt, S. j., editor of the Civ
ilta Catolica, but she hardly needed
a presentation, for Plus x seemed to
be we'll aware of her work among the
poor of London, and especially of her
active connection with the ladies Of
Charity. She had many spiritual IA
vors to ask for herself and her CO.
workers, and from one of her re-
qusets there hung tale to which Plus
X listened with marked interest.
1t was the history of a crucifx
which she laid under the Pope's eyes
on his desk-a plain brass crucifix,
which had evidently seen service. Fiji
ty years ago Father Herbert Vaughan
began to wear it on his breast, and
there it remained until for the first
time it was removed from his dead
body at Mill Hill. 1t had been been
originally blessed and indulgenced by
Gregory XVI, then by Plus TX, and
later by Leo XIII, and it had been
kissed by tens of thousands of devout
lips in various parts of the world.
One day, when the cardinal was ap.
preaching his end, Lady Edmund paid

Plus x and His Popularity.

Plus x is acquiring a popularity
among the people Of Rome which Leo
XIII certainly never enjoyed. The late
Pope touched no responsive chord OF
sympathy in the heart Of the Roman
and Italian masses. Most of them
lived and died without setting eyes
upon him, while all that others ever saw
of him was when he was borne past
them, shoulder high, on the portable
throne through avenues Of guards in
st. Peters. Plus x, however, preach
es to thousands of them In the open
air in one of the huge courtyards of
the Vatican every Sunday. He re.
ceives not only the great, but also the
humble people. Sometimes hugs CO.
horts OF people are permitted to
wander through the gardens, where
the Pope will happen among them,
talking to them kindly, and he has
managed to get into such close touch
with the masses that were he to make
his appearance in the streets of Rome
he would be hailed by the public with
the most enthusiastic token Of action
and devotion.

Confirmed at III Years.

Charles Henry Burr Crosby, said to
be Ill years old, remarkable man
who lives at the home of the Little
Sisters Of the Poor, Detroit, Mich,
was one of those to whom Bishop
Foley administered the Sacrament OF
Confirmation recently. Crosby has
carefully written history of his life.
His mother was half breed squaw.
Crosby was well educated, given a
great deal of attention by his father,
but grew up sailor and wanderer.
He can speak three languages and
talks with a rapidity and fuency that
is remarkable for one so old. The
kindness with which Crosby has been
treated by the Little Sisters of the
Poor, where he has been for nearly
three years, has drawn him to the
Catholic faith. In the eleventh
hour" Of his life he received first
Communion, and is probably the old
est man to whom Bishop Foley ever
administered the Sacrament of Con.
firmation.

Who Was to Blame?

The parents of child of 6 COM
planned to his teacher that the little
boy was not progressing in his studies.
1t was limited that the money paid JUS
tilted expectations not met with. The
teacher had several times found the
child asleep in the middle of his stu
dies, and yet when not asleep he was
an inveterate yawner. The teacher
ventured to ask at what time the child
went to bed every evening.
with me-" said the father. "He
does not like to go to bed alone, SO
he stays up with me every evening" /"
"And that isl" ventured a physician
standing by.
Eleven o'clock; sometimes 1O:30,"
said the father. But that is not the
point" he added. "Why does he not
progress in his studies? What is the
sense of my paying my money!"
The teacher and the physician look
ed at each other.
What was the use?
OF course the school and the teacher
were to blame. Who else?
