The Pope and tho Little eoy.

It is a well-known fact in Rome
that at Papal audiences the young peo-
Pile have always the best Of it. The
Pope will often stop before a little
boy or girl and begin to converse with
the most charming familiarity. One
day last year a little fellow Of about
eight con1dentially took hold Of the
Popes left hand and accompanied him
al around the great hall, looking un
affectionately into his face whenever
the Pope addressed few words to one
OF the kneeling. pilgrims. With those
memorable Sunday afternoons in the
Cortile della Pigna. where the Holy
Father preached to thousands on the
Gospel of the day, had to be abandon
ed. the Holy Father substituted for
them receptions in the Vatican for tn
boys and girls Of Rome who had matte
their first communion that morning.
On these occasions the Pope seems to
grow young again as he goes among
tile young people, giving them medals.
asking them questions about their
schools or their homes, and then talk
ing to them collectively.
One day last year a little Dublin boy
was brought to the Vatican by his
mother and grandmother. He was
very prcttily dressed. and he had been
elaborately trained in what he was to
do when he entered the Holy Father s
presence-he was to make three genu.
flections and then to kiss the Holy
Fathers ring II he was allowed. He
must not be afraid, but he must b.
very good. It was all beautifully ar
ranged. Before going to the Vatican
they had a last rehearsal. The grand :.
mother stood in a corner of the room
in the hotel: the little fellow came ir.
made his three. genuflections. kissed
her hand. and then drew aside. At
the Vatican. too, he got through the
first part of the. ceremonial with per-
feet aplomb. But when he raised his
head after bending his knee for the
first time and saw the white figure Of
the Pope standing few yards away,

with his arms stretched out and a
beautiful, fatherly smile on his face,
he forgot the rest, and the ladies were
taken aback to see him run towards
the Holy Father with his hands lifted
as If no actually wanted to be taken
and kissed. Which was exactly what
happened. And not only that, but the
Pope brought him over to his desk
and selected a beautiful gold medal
for him, which will doubtless be hand
ed down as an heirloom in that young
mans family.

He has issued warning to Catholics
regarding the recalcitrant school, in
which he says:
1T is the desire Of the Catholic

1T must be remembered. however,
that not every school, under the mar

OF Catholic religion is a Catholic
school. Luther wore a monks garb
and posed as q better Catholic than
the Pope.

Of Catholic school:

Bishops? Have the children an op-
oortunity to assist at Holy Mass every
morning? Do they receive Holy CON-
munion in their school at least every
month? Are they instructed in their
religion several times a week by their
pastor? Are the teachers in union
with the Church, living the lives Of
true religious, and giving edihcation:

But the moment such schools invoke
the name Of Catholic to bring them
patronage, they fall under my juris-
diction, and it becomes my bounden
duty as chief pastor Of souls within
this diocese to investigate the condi-
tions of those schools. and to tell the
faithful under my charge to keep their
children away from the reach Of such
schools as are not in full accord with
Catholic discipline. and more especial
ly from those whose teachings and in
f1uence are anti-Catholic. BY anti
Catholic is here meant among other
things opposition to established

bank, having a larger capital stock.

take a berth I'm the Texas league, Tul-
sa may find itself without league
home next season. The admission of
Muskogee and Bartlesville to the

marked the end OF the oklahoma

league and good ball towns.
Tulsa could have secured one Of
these franchises had the city been rep

for some cause there were no accred-

franchises went where sought. Tulsa
won the pennant last season in the

besides a first class park has been
guaranteed for next season. The fans
are exceedingly anxious to get a berth
