The Progressive Pope Wants the
NRWa.

As if to disprove the statement re-
peatedly made in the newspapers that
he had become nothing but a tool in
the hands of the Jesuits, Pope Plus y.
has astonished all Rome by opening a
yeritable press bureau inside the walls
of the Vatican. Newspaper CORE
spondents, by applying to this bureau,
will be given reliable information as TO
what is really going on within the i'm
mense building.
This is only one of the objects OF
the bureau, however \ special staff of
young men will have the task of read
ing newspapers from all the large
Cites of the world and prepare clip
pins for the use of his holiness, who
finds il impossible to keep himself in
formed on what is going on in the
world. The clippings relating to his
own person and to anybody connect
Ell with the papal household will be
Kept separate, and if any erroneous
Sta tements are found they will be de
I ieI by the bureau. The kaiser has a
siIailar bureau in his palace at Pots
dam.

Lord Curzon was a perfect enigma
20 his masters when he was at Elton.
He was always apparently wasting his
time and paying no attention to his
studies, and yet whenever he was call
ed upon suddenly for an answer he
was as ready as any boy who had been
listening TO the masters remarks and
could frequently give an explanation
of a difficult matter when no one else
could. A master said recently that
Curzon gave him more trouble than
any other boy. owing to his fondness
for playing pranks in class, yet it
seemed impossible to score off him.

Our Wonderful PROGRESS.

The progress of methods of travel

kept pace with the growth of the coun-

In medicine considerable progress has
also been made. especially so with the
introduction of Hostetter's Stomach

remedy has been the means of restor-

sons have taken advantage OF this by
getting the number of the license of

In order to stop this petty larceny
in the future when licenses are Sc
cured the applicants must sign their
names. If the license is lost and a du-
plicate is desired the name must be
signed again, and If the signatures do

A new colony is growing from the

In each are nineteen flats, with the

flats are more crowded than a relief

the shore at oausaiito after the fire
may have looked lonesome for the mo-
ment, but they have distanced Chair
man Thomas Magee in the matter OF
housing the homeless.
1t is true that the tenements occu-
pied by the fishermen do not boast a
bathroom, and there were bathrooms
in the plans the Relief Corporation had
drawn. But, then, the Pacific Ocean
is next door, and the relief bathrooms
never got farther than the blue print.

the conclusion that that particular part
of the big fire was not an act of God"
