When the present Pope Plus y left
Venice in order to attend the conclave
of cardinals which met to elect the sue
cessor to Leo XIII, he fully expected
to go back to Venice as soon as the con-
claye was over, and so he bought a re-
turn ticket. IN recent interview with
an American who describes the episode,
the pope took from his pocket little
silver box containing the unused halt
of the ticket. God, he said, had changed
his plans for him; he had never dreamed
of being elected pope, and had expected
of course, to go back to his humble
home with his sisters near St Mark
cathedral in Venice, and take up again
the life of a parish priest among the
poor. If he could have his own way,
he would much prefer to be there
among his ill-fed, ill-clad parishioners,
and not to have to occupy his lonely
throne in the imposing spaciousness OF
the vatican. But Gods will was other
wise, and in Gods will he acquiesced,
with devout resignation. 1t was a
comfort to him, however, he said, to
carry the railway ticket about with him
and look at it once in a while.

Are You One-Sided?

That girl works at a desk" said a
dressmaker to one of her customers as
she noticed a young woman with one
nip decidedly larger than the other.
How do L know? Because her whole
side is out of symmetry 1t is pity
that women who must sit a great deal
DO not take pains to do it properly.
Now, one OF your hips is larger
than the other. Don't you always sit
IN chair putting that side first?
Il thought SO. Remember the next
time you sit down to reverse the way
you do it. 1t will counterfeit the UNI
evenness Of your figure if you keep
it up.
Women should not only watch that
they do not always sit in the same po-
sition, but that they do their work in
opposite directions. When you talk
through the telephone, for instance be
careful to hold the receiver in a differ
ent hand each time, so that you do not
always droop the same shoulder.
IF you cannot stand squarely on your
feet and persist in letting yourself lop
on one hip, do be careful that it is not
always the same hip. In this day of
clingtng drapery one cannot be too
careful to keep the figure even"

PRAYER of the Content.

Lord, have heard them tell of Won
Grous deeds,
OF miracles of mercy thou hast
wrought
Of sins forgiven and bitter anguish
healed.
All, wilt thou lend for once thy sra
cious thought
Unto a heart of joy and glad content.
That to thy throne its humble plea
hath brought?
1 have no sorrows, Father. no regrets;
My life is lived in peace, without
within:
No wild heart-pain. no passion haunts
my breast,
No secret ghost of old remorse and
sin.
My sails are furled within thy haven
Far from the surges' roar and cease
less din.
And yet-oh, cast me not from out thy
care,
Because my bark lies safe and shell
tered so!
I see the wrecks drift by on every tide.
Life's derelicts, tossed wildly to and
fro;
Oh. guard these tranquil sails lest they,
too, stray
On those wild seas whose shoals can
not know.
That 1 might hold these blessings, Lord
of All!
Might lead mine own dear flock along
thy way
Through humble years of sinlessness
and peace
This only is the gift for which I pray;
This only, from a heart full of content
And tranquil joy, I crave of thee this
day!

While the season at the beach thus far has been pretty good, it is ac- knowledged to be slow, and the people stopping there are living very quietly.

INDUSTRIOUS HEN DIGS UP
 SlkGOo WORTH OF JEWELRY

Asbury Park, N. J., July 27.-The re- turn of nearly s11,0O0 worth of jewelry which was taken last April from his home in Lakewood is the cause of great rejoicing on the part of William M. Skinner. The whole lot was found by Charles Goldstein yesterday under the front porch of Skinner's residence.
 The scratching of an industrious hen under the porch disclosed the jewels. In the process of scratching a piece of jewelry was turned up, and the atten- tion of Goldstein was attracted to the spot. His investigations were well re- warded, for the entire lot taken in April soon was brought forth from the ground. Goldstein returned it to the owner.
 It is thought the thief was afraid to attempt the sale of the jewelry for fear of apprehension, and hid the loot under the Skinner porch.

MOTORMAN JUMPS LEAVING
 PEOPLE TO THEIR FATE

Freeport, L. l., July 27-Charles Willie, motorman of the New York and Long Island Traction Company, jumped out of his car yesterday with cut turning off the current and left his passengers to their fate through fright at a. fire caused by a short cir cult. Smoke and flames were licking the controller box and he made his way through the side window.
 The car was full, and the passengers, seeing the fire and realizing there was no one to cut off the power, became panic-stricken.
 Richard Mitchell, an acting inspector. happened to be near and jumped aboard the driverless. car. He ran through ordering the people ito be quiet, and with complete presence of mind threw over the overhead lever, which disconnected the current.
 No one was hurt, thanks to the cour- age of Mitchell, who is a man about 65 years of age.

STRIKERS CLASH
 wITH SOLDIERS.
 Especial from United Press.)
 Barcelona, July 27.--A severe clash took place to-day between the rioting strikers and the soldiers, the latter finally suppressing the disorder. Sev- eral scores of combatants were in jured. Outbreaks occurred in a dozen different places throughout the city and troops of cavalry were kept busy chasing through the streets The city is now practically isolated from the rest of the country as the strikers have cut all telegraph and telephone wires. Repair groups under guard of soldiers. have been sent out to repair this dam age but the work is accompanied by the greatest danger.
 Reports from other parts of Spain say that the strike movement is spreading.
