1t is authoritatively stated that the
Jealous labor of his physicions have at
least temporarily checked the recent
alarming decline of Pope Piux X, so
that the death of the aged pontiff is
not likely to occur in the immediate
future. However, the best information
from Rome would make plain that
Plus cannot survive through the win
ter. The correspondent who saw the
Pope on the day he was able to rise
from his bed and cross the room de-
scribes him as looking the shadow of
his old self"
1t seems strange athat the present
pontiff should neglect to replace in the
quota of the cardinalate members who
have died in recent years. While a
small number of vacancies in the COM
plete list of seventy is usual, 1t is said
that not for many decades have those
vacancies been as many as at present.
Cardinal Moran, of Australia, whose
sudden death was announced last week,
reduces the number of surviving car
dinals to forty-seven. 1t now seems
probable that not more than forty
seven will participate in the election OF
the next Pope.
at Holy Cross Academy on the Feast
Of the Assumption. when Sisters Ca
millus, Pietas, and Consilio made their
first vows as members Of the Order of
the Holy Cross, Father Arthur Barry
O'Neill. of the Holy Cross order, has
written the following poem, entitled
Two Brides"
Till death de US part" says the Christian BRIDE
Her heart o'erbrimming with the transient bliss
OF human love, the while her spouses kiss
Seals, sweetly safe, the knot that God has tied:
holy sacrament with graces wide
And deep and strong-secure foundation this
Whereon to rear noble edifce,
The Christian home. the Cburch's JOY and pride.
Till death unites U.s." says the bride Of Christ,
Her soul inebriate with Joy divine,
As by the beauty OF her Spouse enticed,
She takes her final VOWS, he's pledges trine.
All! Martha Of the home though blest thou art,
The cloistered Mary bath the better part.

Honyockers Want Free
Farms in the Northwest

Petitions are being circulated in the
northwestern part of the state in
which the claim holders are asking
relief on account of the dry condition
in that, section. They ask that they
be "absolved and DISCHARGED from
making any further payments due
government on these lands" In this
they claim they have precedent in the
action for relief of settlers in the
lands of the Sisseton reservation,
where conditions We're such that the
settlers did not secure crops for sew
eral years, and that as they are in
a worse situation than were the Sis
seton settlers, they are entitled to
the same relief which was given the
settlers farther east in the state.
While they are SO petitioning, they
do not expect to secure action with
out a fight, and are preparing to make
such a fight as they can for what they
ask.
