EARTH's MOST LONELY SPOTS
Islands Where Communication With
the Great World Is at Rare In
tervais-TrIstan da Cunha.

Though scientific progress has made
it possible to do a double journey be-
tween England and America in fort
night. there remain many islands with
which 1t takes years to communicate.
on the scottish coast are the
groups of islands known as the He
brides, Orkneys, and Shetlands. OF
these the most Isolated island Is st.
Kilda. some three miles long and two
miles broad. The inhabitants lead
lives of great loneliness, for 1t takes
a month to get to the next island, and
the sea often makes any communica-
ton with St Kilda impossible for
months.
The group of eight Phoenix islands
In the Pacific has a total population Of
only 1853, while another little bit of the
British empire is Tanning island. This
Is a landing place for the Pacific sub
marine cable, and usually there are
about one hundred people in the place.
The loneliest of all parts of British
territory is the Island Of Tristan DaI
Cunha, in the South Atlantic, which Isl
also the smallest inhabited island in
the empire. 1t is 1900 miles from
land. has a population Of IA Scottish
Americans, and the inhabitants get
news OF the outer world usually once
every two years.

Before Pope Plus had been on the
young men who dreamed of the career
of courtier in Rome were going to
be disappointed. The pope wanted
bishops for the different sees, and the
way for young diplomats to promotion,
1t was soon apparent, was through the
tiresome but wholesome office of gov
erning bishop.
One great reform Pope Plus accom-
plished, and 1t promises TO be ever re-
membered In history. He proved that
diplomacy In church matters IL a
thing OF little Importance compared
with the direct teaching and preach
ing Of the gospel to the poor.
Opposed to Woman's Suffrage.
An instance OF his well-known un-
compromising attitude against ad-
vanced tendencies was afforded In his
opposition TO woman suffrage as voiced
by the pope upon the occasion Of his
reception of delegation OF Italian
Catholic ladies.
Woman can never be mans equal, I"
he told his fair visitors, "and cannot,
therefore, enjoy equal rights. Few
women would ever desire to legislate,
and those who did would be classed
as eccentrics. Scripture, and espe-
cially the three Epistles Of St Paul,
emphasize woman's dependence on
man"
BY virtue Of one OF his documents,
known as the "Sapienti Consillio." the
congregations composing the Roman
Curfa of the Catholic church have
been reformed and the American HE
rarchy has been accorded a recog-
nized voice in the government of the
church

WITH TRAGEDY IN HIS MIND
Husband Dashed Home In Response
to Telephone Call to Find His
Worst Fears Were Groundless.

Smithson said a thunderstorm al
ways reminded him of this absurd In
cident in his early married life. He
said It happened when their first baby
was only two months old, SO he might
be pardoned IL his solicitude exceeded
his sober judgment. He was at his Of
fee one afternoon when terrific thun-
derstorm broke which crashed enough
to brighten anyone, so when the phone
rang and his wife's voice TREMENDOUSLY
asked: George, dear, can you come
home right away?" he said, Eyes"
quickly, nor paused to question, but
frantic with misgivings, grabbed his
hat and almost ran through town to
his home.
Arriving all breathless, he found his
wife awaiting him on the porch, her
face the very picture Of distress.
Rushing up to her he said anxious

a Good Shot.

A San Franciscan, who had been,
hunting In the vicinity of Lake Tahoei
without bagging any game, came upon
mountaineer who was feeding a.
Gagged wildcat he had caught the day
before.
How much win you take for that,
beast?" he asked
The captor said IS, and the money
was paid over.
Now" said the Nimrod, "tie one,
end of a strong cord to that tree and
another to the cats neck. and them
open the door Of the cage"
This was finally accomplished and,
the fierce animal stood straining at it's
tether.
The sportsman, who was watching
the exercises from the interior OF the
cabin. leveled his rife across the win
dow sill. took careful aim and blazed
away. The wildcat gave joyful yell
and disappeared in the forest. The

Elected as Compromise Candidate.
Plus X. was, as befitted a democrat,
10 pope. different In many respects
from his rlustrious predecessor. Like
the fisherman whose place he held, he
found his recreation fishing In the Vat
lean ponds rather than in writing
Latin verses. To his saintliness of
character and moral worth, indepen-
IDENTIFY of all lesser and worldly con-
sideration, memory doubtless will pay
homage.
When balloting began to choose a
successor to Pope Leo XIII, the name
of Giuseppe Sarto was hardly consid-
cred at first. AS balloting continued.
however, the roll Of votes IN his IA
vor increased. He was then regarded
az compromise candidate. and,
finally. on the sixtieth ballot he was
elected August 4. 1903, and FIVE days
later he was crowned In st. Peters
cathedral, Rome, with all the mag
nificance and brilliance Of ceremonies
that distinguishes the coronation Of
each successor to the apostolic throne
From the post OF spiritual head Of
gondoliers and peasants, work that
he loved, to the throne in the Vatican
was the career Of Giuseppe sarto.
Pope Plus X
And he never had been ambitious
TO be the head Of the Catholic church
and the successor Of St. Peter He
loved the simple life among his friends.
There was great difference Of
opinion as to the qualifications of Pope
Plus x. for his Office. His election. a
compromise, was particularly pleasing

to Austria, Germany and France, and
in these countries, with the exception
of France In recent years. he was
highly commended for wisdom and
strength.
Brought Church and State Together.
AS to Italy, he increased the cordial
understanding between church and
state, which was not thought wise by
Italian churchmen. However, his &C
ton resulted In an uplifting of the
church in Italy.
The dioceses had been in a most
deplorable condition because OF the
long conflict between church and
state.
There was evidence of miserable
conditions existing in the Italian emf
grants. They have little or no instruc-
ton in their religion and paid no at
tention to 1t In this country, on the
supposition that the Catholic religion
did not exist here.
The pope pursued this matter 20 the
proper outcome He filed up vacant
sees. stirred up comfortable bishops,
and ordered the teaching of catechism
all over the world. He aimed chiefly
at Italy. In word. he deserted d.
plomacy for the instruction and organ
ization of the people. He gave up
governments to look after the lost
sheep OF the household.
Disappointed diplomats then walled
about his timidity. But the wailing
had no effect on the noble-hearted.
simple man who was the head of the
church.
When the trouble between the
church and state broke out In France
and the concordat was dropped, the
world looked to the pope, specializing
what course he would take. What he
did seemed to be the only right thing
according to the American idea He
ignored the nation.

motion was supplemented by bestowal
OF the deanery on Father Sarto and
his appointment as Episcopal chancel-
lor. To him also was confided the del
icate and important charge Of spiritual
director Of the Seminary Of Treviso,
In which college he was likewise
given professors chair and an eI-
aminership.
Nor did his activities end here, for
he was chosen as a Judge In the
Capitular Ecclesiastical court. and fin
ally was appointed vicar-general Of
the diocese.
After such an apprenticeship It was
not surprising that when the i'm

In 1884, Leo XIII chose Giuseppe Sar-
to to I'LL the place. II was no easy
task to which he had been called, for
his predecessor had allowed discipline
to slack. His persuasive powers and
administrative gifts were tested to
the utmost, but he was fully equal to
the ungrateful task.
Severe In personal taste, Signor
Sarto showed himself jealous In main

Two years later Pope Leo recognized
Bishop Sarto's merits by raising him

The Arvada enterprise., 1914-01-29
At the Denham Theater

For the week beginning with
the matinee Sunday, Feb. 1st,
Miss Eva Lang and the Denham
players will present "The Chor-
US Lady" at the Denham.
This delightful comedy by Jas.
Forbes was played with great
success by Rose Stahl for over
four years in this country and in
England. The Chorus Lady"
is in four acts. While enjoyable
to anyone with his eyes open, it
is particularly interesting to any
one who has any knowledge of
theatrical people and the chorus
girl type in particular.
The first act is in the home of
Patrick O'Brien, a trainer in
charge of racing stables. A
couple of jockeys board there.
One of the daughters is at home,
but the other Patricia, is the
member of the chorus with a
shaky musical comedy organiza-
ton. The company strands and
she comes home.
Eagle-eyed and keenly inform
ed as to the world. decidedly So
phisticated and conversing in the
extreme bowery slang, she is a
picturesque personality. She
quickly discerns that a city man
who has acquired an interest in
the stables has too strong an in
fuence over her sister, and fear
ing for the result, she yields to
the entreaties to which she has
before turned a deaf ear, and
consents that the sister shall ac-
company her on the stage. The
second act shows the interior of
a chorus dressing room. There
the freshest and breeziest Of
slang is banded about and all
the workings of a real chorus in
preparation for stage work is
shown. 1t develops that the
sister has been followed by a
man and induced to borrow
money from him. Becoming
frightened she fees to his rooms
and the chorus lady, to save her,
follows. The sweetheart of
Patricia has business with the
same man and discovers her
thore but does not see the sister.
Considerable explanation is nee
essory but all things are finally
Strengthened out and the young
er sister is saved from her own
folly.

there will be no market for his

that less than two and a half per

That the farmer is getting his
eyes open may be seen by the
following clipping, which was
handed me by one of the Grang-
ers:
Anybody who thinks, and
still wants to think that the
movement for national prohibi-
tion of the liquor traffic is just
bit of a noise got up by pro-
fessional agitators" should care
fully keep his eyes off the fact
that the National Grange, the
most powerful farmers organi-
zation in the country, has just
voted unanimously in national
convention to petition Congress
for the proposed prohibition
amendment to the federal con-
stitution. The farmers aren't
professional agitators, but they
can agitate a lot, nevertheless,
when they get started, and it is
high time for the saloons to get
agitated over what action like
this signifies among the farm
ers"
