SLIPS or THE TONGUE.
gven the Disnified English Butler Car
Go Aatray at Times.


A little story which has just
found It's way across the Atlantic
from an English country house tells
OF the recent slip made by a new
and nervous butler in serving his
master, duke, at the luncheon ia
bic. Quiet, respectful and assidu-
Gus, he profered dish with the in
sinuating query:
"Cold grace, your grouse?"
The slip is SO obviously a nat
ural one that doubtless the tale is
true. Thus far it is also unchal-
lenged as new, although probably
by the time it has made the full
round of the press somebody will
discover that in its original form
it was an Athenian Chestnut" In
the days of Socrates.
An anecdote which at least be-
longs to the same family used to be
laughed over in early Victorian
drawing rooms.
Among the royalties, great and
little, who came to London for the
young queens coronation there
was certain small, dried up, gray
haired, bright eyed, brisk little old
reigning prince of a tiny principali-
ty. He was faraway cousin to an
Irish duke, whose estates in Ire
land he visited before returning.
For his entertainment village cell
ebration was arranged, with games
and dances, and especially Irish jigs
and clog dances.
The gay old prince was delight
ed. He came himself of a race fa-
nous for its dancing. He still pos
sessed COED eye, quick ear and
light foot. That same evening in
the great hall of the castle, to the
whistling of his hosts son, he en-
deavored to emulate some of the
feats he had seen.
The dukes solemn English but
ler was present, and his horror at
such unroyal antics was reflected IN
his eyes. The prince perceived it
and, shooting a sudden forefnger
at him, demanded imperiously:
'Th! Tell me, then, what you
think of my dancingw
Discreetsand dignifed, but fur
ried inwardly, the buffers manner
was perfect, but his tongue betray-
ed him. He answered:
"Your royal spryness is certain
ly Ugh"
There was shout of laughter,
and the duke, with assumed anger,
cried sternly: "Whatl Do you dare
to insinuate that the prince is ele-
vated-that his vjvacity is due to
any other good spirits than his
own ?"
Before such an accusation tho
poor buffers last remnant of COM
posure vanished, and, turning wild
", with clasped hands, from his
highness to his grace, he protested
earnestly:
"No, / never, sir, your royal gray
ness; no, | never, sir, your iceI-

FAIRGROUNDS FOR THE CITY
Statistics Show Less Crime In Places
Where the Recreation Plan
Obtains.

At a meeting Of the City Club in
Philadelphia recently at which the
subject of municipal recreation was
under discussion n Of the speakers
gave utterance to the sentiment: "A
foot Of playground is worth an acre
Of penal institutions"
1t is difficult to gauge the value OF
the playground, but in every city
where a playground Or a system OF
Fairgrounds has been established the
testimony has been in its favor as a
beneficent institution. Most Of our
American cities did not give much
thought to the recreation idea In the
beginning, but none Of them under
took to get along without prisons.
Perhaps II the Fairgrounds were more
numerous the country might be able
to dispense with a few acres OF its
penal establishments.
That the playground had a civil
izing and elevating influence is not to
be doubted. Figures compiled in va
rious cities show that Juvenile Of
lenses are fewest in localities where
recreation grounds are available.
They also show that there are fewer
accidents and injuries to children in
such neighborhoods. Children who
are raised up in the streets" make
trouble for themselves and for other
persons. In cities where there is not
a playground system 1t is inevitable
that children will play In the streets
for it is the nature o: the child to,
play.
No city ever made a bad investment,
in buying a playground or in establish
ing q system Of Fairgrounds.

BEAUTY OF WELL KEPT LAWN
Care Taken Of Land Surrounding the
Home Adds Much to ArractiVe-
mesa Of Town.

At various times in connection with
the newspaper reports Of the meetings
of citizens associations the subject
of well kept lawns and attractive
flower beds has been touched IN, and
In a number OF instances citizens as
sociations have agreed to continue
the practise previously found effec-
tive of giving awards for lawns and.
flower growths of distinguished merit.
Many Of the urban and suburban
n~eighborhoods of the district are the
handsomer, happier and more valuable
because of the care given to the land
in front or at the real or on the grass
sides of the home. A well kept grass
plot or a carefully tended flower gar
den tells all the world which passes
that way that somebody lives there,
that there is home life there and
that order and content reigns within.
In most cases the condition of the
yard or grounds" can be and will
be taken as an index Of the house-
keeping system that Is followed in
side. The garden or the lawn tended
with care gives a proper touch to
the home and applied to contiguous
homes makes the neighborhood bet
ter. The climate of Washington is
encouraging to fine gardens and every
body who lives in a house has time
enough to care for one. The lawn
mower, the rake and the spade are
fine implements Of physical culture.
The security OF private lawns and
flower beds is greater than 1t ever
was. Public opinion has been SO
improved and educated in this mat
ter that complaints OF marauding are
rare. whereas not many years ago
they were frequent. This Is shown
by reference to an editorial In the
Star, May q, 1876, which in part fol-
lows:
There Is probably no place In the
country where more is done by Its
inhabitants to beautify their homes
by the cultivation Of flowers, shrub
berry, ETC., than by the citizens OF
Washington. Nor Is there a place
where such efforts are more success
full considering the discouragements
and drawbacks under which they are
made. We refer more especially to
the pulling OF flowers, the destruc-
ton Of shrubbery and the theft OF
rare plants from private grounds. So
great has this abuse grown In some
parts of the city that not a few Of
those who have been so frequently
raided are h~esitating between giving
up the pleasant duty Of ornamentlng
their grounds and lying In wait for
the marauders with loaded shotguns.
The nest curious thing to these suf-
ferers Is the fact that the police ap-
parently never e any Of the despoil-
ing, and that In spite Of the stringent
law on the subject no arrests are
made or at least no punishment Is In
flicted."

Rome.-Pope Piux X is dead. He
had been ill for several days, but
alarming symptoms did not develop
at once.
Throughout the day Drs. Marchia-
Java and Amici devoted their utmost
energies to stimulating their patient
and keeping him alive.
The cardinals were notified Of the
pope's grave condition and some of
them who entered the sick room de-
scribed the scene as heart-rending, es-
pecially when the pontiff, rousing him.
self from time to time, spoke. Once
he said, "In ancient times the pope, by
a word, might have stayed the slaugh-
ter, but now he is impotent,'
Prayers were said by thousands and
church bells sounded when the sacra-
ment was exposed upon all the affairs.
When the court learned of the pope's
condition there was the deepest con-
Germ. King Victor Emmanuel person
ally informed Queen Helena and the
news was communicated to the queen
mother.
Extreme JUNCTION was administered
by Mgr. %Zabbpini, sacristan to his Holt
ness, amid a touching scene. The
pope's sister and his niece were yer
come with grief. Cardinal Merry del
Val knelt by the side Of his bed, where
other cardinals Joined him, members
Of the household intoning prayers.
The dying pope, in a moment OF In.
cidity, said:
Nov | begin to think, as the end is
approaching, that the Almighty in His
inexhaustible goodness, wishes to
spare me the horrors Europe is under
going"
1t was n Of the most anxious days
in the history Of the papacy. The whole
world knew that the pope was indis-
posed, but it was supposed he was suf.
fering from his usual ailment, the
govt. Up to noon even the members
Of the household were unaware Of the
seriousness of the developments. AL.
most without warning came the word
that the pontiff was at deaths door.
All day his agony continued. Al
times he revived and was able to say
a few words, but hope OF saving him
was finally abandoned. Several times
throughout the city and at the palace
the m spread that the end had
come, only to be denied later.
Urgent kilograms were sent to Car
dinal Farley, who is In Switzerland,
and the holy see notified all the Car
dinals living in Rome or other parts OF
Italy of the situation. All the churches
and clergy in Rome likewise were no
titled.
Cardinal Della Volpe, chamberlain
of the church, who on the pope's death
assumes direction Of the holy see dur
ing the inter-regime, was summoned
from Imola and left Immediately for
Rome.

Williamson, w. Va.-The chase aft.
er five bandits who killed Joseph Sha-
Ter, paymaster Of the Glen Alum Fuel
company, and his two companions and
stole the company pay roll Of $4,000,
ended when the mountain W. into
which the desperadoes had retreated
was dynamited and the men killed.
The deaths of the bandits brought the
number of fatalities to II.
Pursued by a posse of detectives and
deputy sheriffs the desperadoes fled to
the mountains. In a battle, Detective
Burrell was killed and Deputy Sheriffs
Edward Mount and Jacob Groves were
wounded-probably fatally. The ban
dts then ~retreated to a a " five miles
from War Eagle and held the posse
at bay. Detectives Landon, T1ller
and Squire Belcher were killed early
in the day. The attacking force began
throwing dynamite bombs against the
mountain side and finally a missile
was hurled into the cave, where 1t ex.
ploded. The posse entered the cave
and found five mutilated bodies. The
valise, which had contained the com
pany's pay roll, was found in the cave.
Five hundred dollars of the $4,000 was
missing.
The bandits were recognized as Ital-
ian miners, who had been discharged
from the employ Of the Glen Alum
Fuel company.

that time the bishop Of the diocese,
who nominated him to a canonry in
the cathedral Of Treviso. This pro-
motion was supplemented by be-
stowal of the deanery on Father Sar-
to and his appointment as episcopal
chancellor. To him also was confided
the delicate and important charge of
spiritual director to the Seminary OF
Treviso, in which college he was like
wise given a professors chair and an
examinership. Nor did his activities
end here, for he was chosen as a
Judge in the capitular ecclesiastical
court, and finally was appointed vicar
general of the diocese.
Famous az a Preacher.
Meantime, the recipient Of all these
dignities was winning a great reputa-
ton az a preacher. His sermons, al
though delivered extempore, were dis
tinguished for both learning and elo-
quence. Yet 1t is probable that the
example of his self-denying and holy
life preached the most eloquent SER
mon Of all. During the interregnum
that s%upervened on the death Of Mons.
Zinelli. 1t fell to the vicar-general to
administer the diocese, and this he did
with such notable skill that he was
nominated 'coadjutor to the new bish-
op Of Treviso.
After such an apprenticeship 1t was
not surprising that when the impor-
tant see Of Mantua became vacant, in
1884. Leo XIII. chose Giuseppe Sarto
to fill the place. 1t was no easy task
to which he had been called, for his
PREDECESSOR had allowed discipline to
become slack. His persuasive powers
and administrative gifts were tested
to the utmost, but he was fully equal
to the ~ungrateful task.
Two years later Pope Leo recog'
nized Bishop Sarto's merits by raising
him to the Sacred College, with the
title Of San Bernardo allie Terme, at q
consistory held June is, 1893. AT the
same time he was chosen out OF az

Plan Health Campaign.

Proceeding on the principle that
prevention Is better than cure, n
discretion is the better part of valor,
the executive committee Of the state
board of health has adopted stringent
regulations for better conserving the
physical we'll being of the people or
Mississippi. The committee held ex-
tended conferences for the purpose OF
mapping out plans for a systematic
campaign against the threatened bu-
bonic plague invasion; for improving
the rural sanitary conditions and sew
erage systems in general. Under au-
thority of the law and the revised reg
ulations of the board of health, this
committee was called together to study
the health situation generally, being
clothed with authority to act In times
Of emergency.
The conferees were Drs. S. w. Glass
Of Coahoma, ]. R. lights OF Madison
and John Darlington of Yazoo of the
board of health, together with DR.. w.
s. Leathers, director of sanitation and
hygiene. DR.. E. H. Galloway, secre-
tary and executive officer; DR.. H. W.
Rowan. sanitary inspector, and DR.. F.
l.. Watkins, director of vital statistics.
Quite naturally the most prominent
subject for consideration was the bu-
bonic plague situation in New Orleans,
with the possibility of the spread Of
the malady outside of that city and es-
pecially along the coast Of this state,
where communication is so frequent
and so direct by rail, dirt road and wa
ter. A line of stringent regulations
were mapped out for carrying on an
anti-plague campaign, should occasion
arise, and for establishing a rigid sys-
tenn of inspection of all travel out Of
the plague infected points into the
coast territory.
The regulations adopted are to be
printed and distributed for general In
formation as soon as practicable.

The late Pope Plus x. was q native
of the little village of REESE. In the

in 1903, gave to the church a pontin
In Nicola Boccasini, who assumed
the triple crown under the name Of
Benedict XII.
Born June 2, 1885, to a poor and
humble family Of the name of Sarto,
Plus X. was ch~ristened Giuseppe 10
seph) and known throughout bis life
by the dialect equivalent Of Giuseppe,
"Beppo."
The early life of Pope Plus was
filed with activity. The district OF
Treviso Is one of poverty, only those
who have seen it realizing the strug-
gle for existence that ever prevails.
Little Giuseppe Sarto was n Of q
family of ten, to feed whose hungry
mouths the father could not earn any
thing approaching a living wage"
This fact suggests what sacrifices the
household had to endure to ensure the
boy the means Of education, finally
secured him through the kindness Of
a parish priest.
Promotions Earned by Merit.
On September IS, 1858, the young
seminarist received his priests orders
in the cathedral of Castel-Franco
That year was a memorable n for
Italy. The question Of Italian liberia
ton had been forced to the front by
the attempt of Orsini to assassinate
Napoleon III. The diplomats Of ma
lions assembled, but the young priest
was not concerned in the movement.
He turned his back on the world, and
took up his duties as curate in the
village Of Tombolo.
He was promoted to be parish
priest of Salzano in 1867, only a year
after the cession Of Venezia Venice)
to Italy, so that the future pope lived,
for the first %thirty-two years Of his
life, under the Austrian regime In his
native province.
