TOO MUCH SERVICE
SURROUNDS THE POPE.
Difficult For Him to Get q Glass Of
Water-t7is Hard Life,

Although Plus X has been nearly
eight years q pope. he has not yet
become accustomed to the etiquette OF
the Vatican. 1t Is quite true that he
has abolished many customs ana for
malities, but his efforts to simplify the
routine of his everyday life have only
been partly successful. says a Rome
dispatch to the Washington Post.
The pope no longer dimes alone in
solitary grandeur like his predecessors.
but occasionally he sits ut table witt,
his sisters. and as n rule one Of his
private secretaries is invited to lunch
con or dinner. When h. takes his
daily drive in the Vatican gardens be
Is not escorted by sound of noble
guards. As a rule he spends most of
his time in his private library, where
he receives cardinals and prelates and
transacts NIL his ordinary work He
insisted on remaining at his desk even
during his recent attack of govt. and
DR.. Petacci used to visit him there
twice daily.
Some time ago the doctor reminded

followed by an attendant and waiter
The latter carried silver tray with
a glass of water OH 1t. The prelate.
the attendant and the waiter made
a deep genunection when the door was
opened. They crossed the room and
made q second genutiection when they
were halfway to the pope's chair. and
a third one when they got near the
pope. Then the attendant took the
glass off the tray and handed 1t to the
prelate. who knelt down and handed it
to the pope. The same business was
repeated after the pope had drunk the
water. Turning to the doctor, the pope
then said:
II wanted to show you how difficult
1t is for me to get glass of water.
and hope you will not blame me for
neglecting the cure and not drinking
more water. hate to disturb these
three men and make them kneel six
times every time want IL drink Of
water. tried to get the water my
self, but have been told that, being

CURE SICK BUSINESSES.

Harvard University Will Open 4 New

Harvard University School of Bust
ness, Of which Professor Edwin f.
Gay is dean, is to spend years in
scientific effort to determine what is
wrong with sick businesses.
When the results are all tabulated
the knowledge will be placed at the
disposal of merchants whose bust
nesses are ailing.
If Professor Gay sees At and the
state of the case demands it, he will
place one of his corps of experts in
the store Of the merchant who knows
that something is wrong with his en-
terprise but cannot himself determine
Just what the trouble is.
I'VE propose to spend years II neces-
sary in ascertaining just what is right
and just what Is wrong with the retail
trade" said Professor Gay. 1--WE are
beginning with an investigation Of the
retail shoe business. which will be
done so thoroughly that 1t may take us
from four to six years.

posed by Senator Root of New York.

made from an old straw hat of her
mothers and from bits of lace. Flora
even had shoes of various colors, made
from old kid gloves which had been
given Agnes, and she had silk stock

ends of lace and trimmings and she had
made Flora a beautiful evening gown

mes to be a very rich lady. and she
never was permitted to pass day with
