The end came peacefully after the
Pope had gone into a semiconscious

from gouty catarrah, but shortly be-
fore the end he seemed to become
considerably more calm.

Confronted Momentous Problems.
Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto, known
to the world as Pope Plus Y, was elect
ed to the Pontifcate on August 4, 1908,
and during lis occupancy of his exalt-
ed office as head of the Roman Cath
Ollie church. he was confronted with
some of the most momentous problems,
religious and governmental, with
which the Holy See has had to deal
in modern times.
Pope Plus was born on June ,, 1888,
at Riese. in the Venetian provinces,
the first child of Gian-Battista Sarto, a
postman. and his wife Margherita.

of the village, where he would slip
on his shoes TO keep up appearance
From Castelfranco he passed in 1880
TO the Seminary at Padua, and in 1898

When this measure failed to reveal anything regarding her where abouts, the police were notified, but were asked to keep the disappear. ance a secret for the time being. The movements of the missing girl were traced to the point where she had met her chun, but the keenest sleuths of the New York force were unable to progress a foot beyond that point
 In January the newspapers were notified and the Arnold case assumed worldwide interest. Mrs. Arnold visit ed Italy soon afterward. supposedly te follow up some clue, and later both parents of the missing girl secretly crossed to Europe. Mrs. Arnold af- terward made the trip across the At lantic alone. These journeys were not productive of any tidings of the vanished girl, and it now seems i'm probable that the cloud of mystery which surrounded Miss Arno1d's dis appearance will ever be dissipated.

Chop-suey Parties.

Dear Miss Lfbbey:
 It is getting to be quite a fad among the younger set to visit chop-slley Joints for the purpose of eating noo- dies, chop-euey and other Oriental dishes. VIII you kindly answer the following questions. Are they nice places for a young man to take his girl friend or for young people to fre- quent? Is it less desirable for one to be an occasional visitor to 8 chop suey joint than 1t is for one to be an occasional visitor to an iee-crean par. Ior2 What class Of people most gen orally frequent Chinees restaurants? Are they generally serious or are they generally easy going and given to a life of pleasure?
 People go to these ehop-suey res- taurants to sample Oriental cooking. very often making up a merry party to enjoy the unusual service and sur. roundings. It is quite proper that a young mans sweetheart should be one Of the number. It Is most un- suaI for the betrothed couple to make a practice of visiting the place reg 5ularly, whereas 1t is quite natural for people to frequent 2 particular ice cream parior, where the delicacy served appeals to their tastes.
