ROME, July 15.--(Speclal to the Bee,)-
The pope is noted for his sense of humor
and a story teller. Many of the stories
attributed to him are not genuine. He is
becoming like Lincoln in a sense. During
Lincoln's career at the White House he
was put down for every. story considered
good enough to print; so too with Pope
Plus. Having gained a reputation for
stories hundreds are put up to him which
he never heard Of until they got into the
papers. The latest, however, is vouched'
for by one of his two secretaries.
He asked Hebrew from Venice recently
to convey his apostolic blessing to a sick
friend in the city. but" said the visitor.

which he considered obnoxious.

the registers will then be closed. Exist

say, companies will continue to receive
premiums and pay policies on insurance
already effected but no further insur-

Mary Lyon became instrumental in the
founding OF Mount Holyoke Seminary IN

education In the universities for men. The
last has become characteristic of the West
and the others prevail more throughout the
East.
Nassar College was opened in 1865 with
three hundred students, the first distinctive
college for women authorized TO confer
degrees. In 1915 Wellesley College was
founded, and Smith College came into ex-
istence in the same year. Bryn Mawr was

Eighteen hundred and forty-one saw the
graduation OF three women from Oberlin
College. the first women to receive q de-
gree i'm arts in the United States. Oberlin
College was founded in 1894 for both men
and women. The primary thought was TO
offer the best education TO women, but the
conditions obliged the giving of the educa-
tion 60 both sexes upon equal terms.
Twenty years later another co-educational
college was founded by Horace Mann, An
tioch College, in yellow Springs, ohio. The
example Of the two Ohio colleges was fol-
lowed rapidly, and its chief field of growth
lay in the universities founded 10y the
various states.
In many Eastern colleges the third type
Of collegiate education for women has been
adopted. The more conspicuous are Rad
