Men Surrounded by Pomp Yearn for
Simple Life.


From the Philadelphia Ledger.
When the present Pope Plus X 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
conclave was over, and so he bought d
return ticket. In recent interview
with an American who describes the
episode. the pope took from his pocket
4 little silver box containing the un-
used half 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. Marks Cathedral in Venice.
and take up again the life Of parish
priest among the poor. If he could
have his own way, he would much pre-
fer to be there among his ill-fed, i'll
clad parishioners, and not to have to
occupy his lonely throne in the impOs-
ing spaciousness of the Vatican. But
Gods will was otherwise, and in Gods
will he acquiesced, with devout resig-
nation. 1t was comfort 10 him. how
ever, he said. to carry the railway ticket
about with him and look at it once in d
while.
Many a potentate, hedged in by awe
some ceremonial, has yearned for the
simple life and frugal fare of his earlier,
irresponsible existence. One of the great
characteristics of Lincoln WAS that he
never forgot his fathers home and his
boyhood days. The comparative grand
eur of the White House did not oblit
crate in his minds eye the log cabin
with its rude furnishings, the loft in
the garrett where, on his pallet of straw
or leaves. he had felt the chilling wind
through the crevices or the sitting snow.
He loved it, nevertheless, because 1t was
his home and he was never ashamed of
1t because it was but poor and dingy
hovel.
Mems memories revert to the places
where as boys they used to play-tne
apple orchard, the old garden, the swim
ming hole. every nook and Granny of the
old farmhouse from attic to woodshed
or mysterious cellar. From far coun-
tries thought wirelessly bridges the gap
between a man and his home, wherever
1t may be, and just so, though 1t may
have been years ago, his memory reyerts
to his boyhood across the years, and he
sees and feels again what happened then,
as though it were but yesterday. The
man to whom one part of the world Is
like another is abnormal 1t Is usual
and natural to feel strong attachment
for a particular locality The feeling. Of
course, varies in intensity with differ
ent individuals, but sometimes in the
man who has always seemed most in
different the sentiment for "his own
people," the yearning to go back to his
own home. is awakened by some trivial
circumstance. The man whom nothing
moves to want to go home is almosi
more to be commiserated than the man
without a country.

ROCK ISLAND
 COMING HERE? Local Parties to Ask Council For Right of Way and
 Terminals.
REPORT UNCONFIRMED
Mayor Toney Says lie Knows Nothing of the Proposltion---Rumor Is
 We'll Pounded However.

There is well defined rumor in circulation here to the effect that the Rock Island railroad, through local parties, will, on Monday night at the meet of tue Pine Bluff city council, ask for right of way on certain pub lie streets in this city and for termin- al privileges in the southeastern sub urbs of the city. An effort to con- firm the rumor failed last night. May or 'Toney and several of the aldermen stating that they had heard nothing of the matter
 The rumor seems to have been we'll founded, however, and it will not sur prise many persons If the request is made by the Rock Island, as a Rock Island extension here has been the talk of the city for many months. The recent ,pasfaGe of the Jeffer- son county bridge bill, authorizing the county to contract for the build AAAt3 VI Ab VoEOAA oIu AoA1 OCSA III AAS5C over the Arkansas river at this point, strengthens the rumor, owing to the fact that it is stated that this was the only drawback for the extension of the Rock Island to this point. Now that the measure has passed both houses and has been signed by Gov ernor Donaghey the next step will be the securing of the railroad. The re- cent visit of J. M Parker, of the Ar kansas, Louisiana and Gulf road, to this city with several capitalists Is said to have been of significance, but their visit was not in connection with the proposed Rock Island extension, they said.
 Just where the Rock Island pro- poses to extend from or to Is nys- tery, but it is reliably stated that it Is coming to Pine Bluff and that the 41rst intimation of the well laid plans to that end will be made Monday night at the meeting Of the city coun' ell.
