DON'T CUT TOBACCO GREEN.
Tobacco growers make a SER
ious mistake when they harvest
their tobacco green. When it is
cut green it is virtually never fit
for any purpose. as it becomes
light and chaffy and there is
practically no market for it.
Even when frost threatens. the
best thing to do is to take the
risk. Frosted tobacco is hardly
more worthless than tobacco cut
green. So let the planter keep
this caution always in view and
never make the mistake of cut
ting his tobacco green. W Western

THE KINDNESS OF THE POPE.

kindness of Pope Plus X. Before he was
Pope he was Patriarch of Venice, and one
dav when a cardinal announced that some
workmen from Venice wanted TO see him
he said: Show them in"
But. your holiness objected the car
dinal. these men are not dressed in black
and they do not even wear collars ana
ties"
The Pope could not see what difference
that made.
"Do YOU think" ne asked, that collars
and ties will be required to enter the doors
of Heaven
Soon after his election the new Pope
gave an audience to twelve poor monks
and when they entered the room he walked
forward 10 meet them and said, smiling:
Sit down, brothers"
The monks, who wouldn't have dreamed
of sitting down in the presence of a Pope
thought they must have misunderstood
him. as he spoke in the Venetian dialect
The Pope now tried Latin.
Don't YOU think you could obey me-
he said. laughing, and speaking in the Ian
guace Of the Caesars, "or do you really
want me to set a chair for each of you?'
Walking in the Vatican grounds his hon-
ness often stops to speak TO the workmen
and he IS very kind to children.
