HELPED BY THE POPE.
iii X, Then Father Sarto, Aided
Sacristan to Dig Graves.

A Baltimorean Wing is now in Rome
writes home that many stories are be-
ing told of the new Pope. One which
he relates in his letter refers to the
time when the present pontiff was
parish priest at Salzano, a village near
Treviso. The story depicts Plus X. as
a ~gravedigger, and is accredited to the
Rev. Alexander Robertson, a Protest
ant missionary residing at Venice. 1t
follows:
"a SOL of the soil himself, the Pope
in his earlier days was always willing
to help his countrymen. The sacristan
tells how more than nee. when a
body had to be brought to the church
from a distance for a funeral service
and three men only could be found to
carry it, Father Sarto, then 80 years
old. would himself form the fourth.
When, in 1878, cholera broke out at
Salzano, a panic seized the villagers,
and none could be got to dig graves
or bury the dead. Don Beppi,' as
Father Sarto was called, then said to
his sacristan: You and / must do it.
So, getting spades, they set to work.
Their courageous conduct was not lost
upon the parishioners, who soon re-
lieved them of their toil.-Baltimore

BURGLARS IN BRIDES BED.
Fortunately for Young Couple This
Happened in France.

French politeness is continually as,
Stunning new and bizarre aspects. The
latest example is the ~gallantry of two
burglars toward a newly married cou.
pie.
M. and Nine. Leroy returned to
their house at Vincennes recently
from their honeymoon trip. To their
surprise they found in the passage Q
large number of parcels.
mo doubt it is mamma, who has
sent some things in our absence" said
the bride.
The couple e upstairs, but hard,
ly had the wife cast a glimpse into
the bedroom when she sprang back
with the whispered exclamation
"Burglars!" Peeping round the door,
the husband saw two men asleep,
their heads comfortably disposed on
the dainty pillows trimmed with lace.
The young bride screamed for help,
her cry waking the sleeping ruffians.
They sprang to their feet and APP
preached the couple th~reateningly.
T~remblingly the young woman said:
please go away, messieurs! Take
what you want, but don't hurt us. We
are only just married.
Don't be alarmed, little one" said
one of the robbers with a gallant bow.
Since o are so polite, We won't
even take the parcels we had packed
up. We have slept two nights in your

think you were coming back SO soon."
Then, just as they were leaving, one
turned and said, "Ah, you were lucky
to be honeymooners."
Then the delightful pair disappeared
into the night.

A ChiId,s Definitions.

The late Frederic r. Coudert, law
yer and wit, had a great fondness for
children. He collected indefatigably
the quaint sayings of children, and
one of the treasures of his library
was a small manuscript volume filled
with definitions that children had
composed. This volume vas called a
'child's dictionary and these are
some of the definitions that Mr.. Cou-
dert would read from it:
"Dust-Mld with the juice squeezed
out of it.
"Snoring-Letting off sleep.
"Apples-The bubbles that apple
trees blow.
Back biter-a mosquito.
"Fan-A thing to brush the warm
off with.
"Ice-Water that went to sleep in
the cold"

The Troubles We Never Have.

The youth that lies so far away.
That seemed to end so long ago,
Might still be sweetly claimed to-day
BY many a man whose step Is slow
Il, somehow, he might borrow back
The days his foolish fears made sad,
The days through which he sighed.
"Alackl"
Ger troubles that he never had.
As careless prodigals we waste
Tho years through which youth blithely
sklps,
And many n bitter dose we taste
That never comes to touch our lips.
Before our time we droop and die
And leave the scenes that were so sad,
Despolled and fooled and broken by
The troubles we have never had.
