Shaky Spelling in Old Days

THE spelling of those days little shaky at
best; but tombstone engravers seem to ever be
prone to deficient orthography and mistakes in gen.
eral. The writer has a vivid remembrance of COM

grave of patriarch who, as he supposed, had
rivaled Enoch's first born for there plainly to be

the pesky cement must fell out O that hole

graved instead of E; but he had knocked off
something the price, and the thrifty relatives
had set up. the stone with the hope that cement
would repair the mistake in the dead mans age.
Of all bitterness in this life, nothing be COM
pared to that which gains its rise in family estrange
ments and feuds. And that mans hate sometimes
tries to reach beyond the grave-or, at least over
the grave to wound those that remains given
proof in the following eptaphs found in Maine:

wife of Theodore Shaen died July 1847 aged years.

.ssociated Press to Bismarck Tribune

Associated Press to Bismarck Tribune
Il Rome, Jan. ]. The Giernale Diltalia
publishes an interview with promi-
5nent English prelate concerning the
appointment Of an American cardinal.
The prelate In question reviews re-
cent events, particularly the encycli-
cal Of Pope Leo against Americanism,
which he declares was written by
Cardinal Mazzela. This encyclical
disposed Cardinal Gibbons, who
thinking it was inspired by Cardinal
Rampolla, joined the Austrian and
German cardinals in defeating Ram.
polla at the last conclave. a.
Continuing, the prelate says it was
thought that Archbishop Ireland
would be made cardinal when Pope
Leo called him from Paris where he
was representing the United States
at the unwilling Of the Lafayette
statute. This however, now is un-
likely in spite Of the fact that Presi-
dent Roosevelt urged another prelate
to approach the vatican privately to
this end. The situation has been
aggravated by the storer incident and
if Archbishop Ireland should be
given the red hat the appointment
must be ascribed to his personal
merit.
