Sunday Morning Talk.
The Good Listener.

On my morning walk I frequently find
myself behind two gentlemen who usually
accompany each other to their places of
business. Both are men of culture and
of standing in the community. Yet no
tice that one does nearly all the talking.
He seems extremely interested In his own
views and presents them to his compan-
ion with much animation. Sometimes he
pesticulates vigorously. I am seldom near
enough to play Internationally the part OF
eavesdropper, but l should Judge that a
variety of timely and profitable themes
were being discussed, as might naturally
be expected when men get to be pretty
intimate acuuaintances. But the silence
of one of these men and the volubility or
the other are what impress me, ana 1
find myself wishing that the lips OF NAT.
Ready-to-Talk would be sealed Tor
while in order to give the man VINO MS
tens to him with such uniform pofteness
a chance to air his views; being man OF
ideas and of convictions, he certainly has
something we'll worth saying. These men
represent two types. One has cultivated
the art Of expression and the other ths
art of listening. One art is perhaps as
important as the other, but does not the
listening capacity come first in order OF
time? II as a child you did not listen to
your parents, your teacher, your minis
ter, IL you did not learn 10 hoid your 81
tention firmly upon the speaker, II you
did not gain some eompre hension OF the
fact that the acquisition OF knowledge
depends on the ability to listen at the
right time and in the right way to- the
right person. then you are TO be pitied
The single, beautiful glimpse we have
of the boyhood of the Perfect Child re-
yeals him in the temple among the doc
tors both hearing them and asking them
questions" Even one possessed with wis
dom far beyond his years needed to main
tain all through his life the attitude of
listener.
When we undertake to cooperate with
others we find It essential to listen to
what they have to say. Have you never
talked with a person who. you were alb
solutely sure. was not hearing word
you said, though for politeness' sake he
tried to appear as If he were listening?
But he was only waiting for you to get
through, SO that he could ventilate his

own opinions. A genuine conversation
with that sort Of person Is an impossible
ity. He is to all practical purposes So
liloquist He seeks your society for the
moment. not because he wants to know
your views. but because he cannot re-
press his own any longer.
The more civil attitude. the attitude
which enables men actually to confer on
subjects of common interest presupposes
that ones own information Is not con-
plete and that the other man or the other
group Of men has something to oRer
which will instruct and enrich you. i
These are days when 1t Is Of the ut
most Importance for each Of us to cuiti-
vate the listening attitude, to be hos
pitable to new ideas at least to the extent
Of informing ourselves as to exactly what
those who advocate them mean. Here IL
a new theory of the inspiration OF the
Bible, here is a new program for our So
cial and industrial relationships Why
should we close our ears to its advocates?
Who knows but we may hear something
to our lasting advantage? There are
voices not of earth to which 1t pays us to
turn listening ear occasionally. There
is no deafness so deplorable as that which
prevents us from hearing what God would
say to us, in the quiet of the dawn or,1h
the lull that comes at sunset, in the soli-
tude of the woods and along crowded hui
man highways. Let us take to heart
Longfellow's exquisite lines:
Listen to voices in the upper air,
Lose not thy simple faith in mysteries.

managed by battalion of cooks and as
sistants Of different grades.
STRANGE he commented, that Tor
bite it's necessary to have so many
cooks"
Another curious custom is revea led in
connection with bottle of wine. sent him
as a gift by Emperor Francis Joseph OF
Austria. 1t was Tokay 100 years old.
He tasted a bit of it, and then the bottle
was taken away by the waiter. At the
luncheon, remembering the excellent
flavor of the wine. he desired that his
secretary should taste it, and forthwith
ordered that the bottle be brought IN.
The waiter blushed, mumbllng that re-
mains of whatsoever sort were never
served to the popes Plus x waived the
excuse aside, saying he wanted the wine,
but the bottle never showed up as 1t had
been disposed of by the personal attend
ants Ever since then all bottles sent
as gifts are kept under lock and key IN
his room until empty.
His holiness can no longer smoke, on
account of his health, and it is not known
if he plays cards. at which games he is
an expert. During his patriarchate OF
Venice he often played with the ch1ef OF
police and the mayor.
He has also broken the custom OF not
being permitted as a pope to take long
walks by himself, as 1t was necessary ne
should be carried or driven. Lately
however, he goes as he pleases Wlthln the
precincts of the Vatican, and MS some
times long absence is unnoticed by the
palace attendants. who are accustomed TO
the new regime. The first time he had
evaded the vigilance of the guards. and
he was nowhere seen. it was surmised
he had run away, either into Rome or
back to Venice. The pope, however. was
sitting under a tree unaware or all the
commotion.
AS man of strength. he is to be COM
pared to any man of his age In the vati-
can. and he carries off the honor. 1t Is
related that when, he was at Salzano,
while walking toward his church. he met
number of rough-looking men on the
road. They were cursing, as the Italians
say. like a Turk, and this shocked the
sensitive ears of the future pope. Without
saying a word he proceeded to administer
sound beating. first to the ringleader
and then to the others. all of whom were
much the worse for, the encounter.
The value of the gifts received by Pope
Plus last spring, in connection with his
sacerdotal jubilee, is very great. and
strange to say, it includes all sorts OF
objects, from caRdJesticks to sewing ma
chimes, and from, a crucifix to jew ell.
These objects are disposed of according
to their class given either to church.
to an orphan asylum, to a convent to the
museum in the Vatican or for furnishing
some nook and corner.
