pope's Unused Return Ticket.

An American gentleman who re-
Gently had a private audience with
the Pope relates a touching story of
his experience. He says that His Hol-
mess took from his pocket during the
interview small, handsomely chased
silver box or case, similar to purse,
and, opening it, showed his visitor
the unused half of round-trip rail-
way ticket from Venice, to Rome and
return. He explained that when he
came to the conclave of cardinals to
elect successor to Leo XIII. he pur-
chased that ticket and fully expected
it to carry him back to his home, but
God changed his plans for him. He
did not murmur, although he would
much prefer to be in his old home ad-
joining st. Marks Cathedral in Ven
ice and among his beloved parishion-
ers than occupy his exalted but lone
ly throne in the Vatican. And with
tears in his eyes His Holiness said
that he kept this little relic always
on his person, and it gave him great
comfort to take it out and inspect it,

Women and New Money.

The cashier, as usual, paid the
loom boss in new money crisp,
understanding bank notes that it was
pleasant to handle. but why is it?'
he asked, that you insist upon new
money always? l know you hand
every cent of it to your wife"
The loom boss chuckled.
It's easy to see you amt mar
ried man." said he. Otherwise you'd
know woman's nature better. and
wouldn't need to be told the advan-
tages of taking home new money to
the wife. The explanation is that
women are so fond of new money
that they hate to part with it. 1t
makes them economical They BAR
gain for this, they deny themselves
that, and the upshot is that at the
end of each week they have a tidy
little sum, all brand new, put by in a
stocking or a teapot. 1t pays, Will,
to give the wife new money. 1t pays
something like twenty per cent.

Criticism of Boston.

1t was cruel treatment of Boston
that emanated from Sir Dyce Duck
worth, the eminent English physician.
when he read his recent paper on
faith healers and healing in London.
He asked his audience first to con-
slider the place these new cults came
from--as if the place of origin had
much to do with the main question.
"As regards this new doctrine" he
says, I'VE find first that it comes from
America. That to my mind at once
arouses suspicion. 1t comes from
Boston, city / know we'll, having
twice visited ia city which is a per-
ennial source of false doctrine and
which produces and contains more
unstable men and women than any
Cther city know. - Springfield Re-

carried from his school days
One year when the district schools
opened in his town one Of the teach
ers, in making record of the ages
of her pupils, as required by law,
found that one little girl, who came
from a family not noted for being
especially bright, was unable to say
when her birthday came.
So, in order to complete her
records, the teacher walked two miles
to see the girls mother one afternoon
after school. Asked If she could re.
member just when her daughter was
born the woman thought for somd
little time, and then with sort OF
puzzled look, said:
well, the gal was born in 'tater

one day is too cold, another is too
wet, and the next is icy and the

tween chores takes all the time. Such

mer, but winter seems to sap all their

Says the Cleveland Plain Dealer:
California has complained bitterly
that the East does not understand
the West. 1t seems to be just as true
that the West does not understand

type of provincialism seems more ia
tai to the spirit of nationality than
the New York type.

Ideal For Production CT Oranges
and lemons.
Remarkable development in the
raising Of citrus fruits, especially
oranges and lemons, is going ON in
the portion of Southwest Texas
around San Antonio and as far south
as the Rio Grande Valley and the
Gulf. F. g. Hutchinson, of Ventura
County, California, established one Of
the largest orchards near Deeville
about year and half ago, and he
reports that numerous other Cali
fornia fruit growers are migrating
into this part of Texas, that orange
groves, lemon groves and vineyards
are going on in every direction.
Southwest Texas is 1900 miles
closer to the markets than Califor-
MIA" says Mr.. Hutchinson, "and the
Ter. The sandy loan with the red
clay subsoil which is found in a num-
Der of localities is ideally adapted to
orange and lemon culture. 1t pro-
duces in greater quantities than the
California soil. One tree in our
neighborhood this year by actual
count produced $3.50 oranges, an
other one produced more than four
thousand. So far our orchards are
young and most of our shipments
have been local, but in two or three
years we will be competing on large
scale with California and Florida
When my trees are five years old I
expect to net from them from $3.50
to $500 an acre.
Orange groves are being set out
