The boy at an early age showed his

that he would go to the seminary and
study for the priesthood II he could

Their wants were not many. but It
was a constant grind by day and late
into the night even to provide their
frugal fare and simple raiment. The
family was large. and one son could
be spared to the church.
And 1t was from this lowly cot of
peasants that Giuseppe Sarto started
out on his career In the church which

Simple In His Tastes.

Pope Plus Y. was man of great
simplicity and frugality and always
opposed to the growing tendency to
make the church services in the Roman
Catholic churches more picturesque
and attractive from musical point of
view. One OF his earliest efforts was
directed against elaborate musical fea
lures il the church service and toward
the return to the Gregorian chant of
the early days of the church.
The late pontiff became greatly de
pressed over the war in Europe. and
in view OF his advanced age ii was
feared that this would have scti
Gus effect upon his health.

cant throne of the patrfarchate of Ven
ice. This was an old see, rich with
traditions and written story, and one
of the most important in the church.
Leo found opposition to his declaration
that he was about TO appoint a patri-
arch. The italian government served
notice that it reserved the right 10
make the appointment and maintained
its position on the ground that it was
itself the successor to the republic OF
Venice. The holy see denied this right
on the part of the Italian government
which finally yielded and gave to Bish-
Op Sarto his eXequator, for it was
the bishop Of Mantua whom the pope
had selected to preside over Venice as
its patriarch.
The archbishop soon found disfavor
with Rome itself when he called on the
king of Italy, who was visiting Venice
But the patriarch had his own ideas
as to the proprieties and did not let the
Vatican interfere with his privileges
or rights in what has been known as
the dispute between the Quirinal and
the Vatican. He quite simply assert

in this instance showed the independ

Elected Pontiff Aug. 4, 1908.

On Aug. 4, 1903. Giuseppe Cardinal
Sarto was elected pope. There had
seldom been enacted a more dramatic
scene. The first words of the new
pope were:
ut is cross that I receive from
you"
He walked toward the altar. His

Several cardinals saw that the new

and sprang to his support.

vanced to the newly chosen pontiff and
put the formal question:

Had No Coat of Arms.

Even the coat of arms which the
cardinal was authorized to have by
virtue of his rank as a prince of the
church was u gift of the pope. The
cardinal, being of peasant extraction,
did not have any coat Of arms. The
design that was chosen by the pope as
an evidence of his favor and friendship

and in recognition of the cardinals de

sky of the shield.
The tiara of the supreme pontiff was
furthest from the cardinals ambitions
While he was prince of the church
he preferred to be known and esteem
ed as parish priest" And it is
known that he was in earnest when .le
declared that he preferred the duties
of his patriarchate to the responsible
ties of the Vatican.
Cardinal Sarto was called to the Eter-
nal City to take part in the conclave,
for a successor to the dead Leo had to
be named. The patriarch was one of
the latest to arrive in Rome. He did
not expect to tarry long there. With
probably a frugal spirit he had pro
vided himself with a return ticket to
Venice. 1t was his one idea to get
through with the work as soon as pos
sibe and then go back to his own PEG
pie on the first train.
For four days the cardinals balloted
in the conCave. In the first session
Cardinal Sarto's name did not appear,
The votes of cardinals were about
evenly divided between two parties
representing two policies. But on Sun
day morning two votes were cast for
the patriarch. On the evening of that
day his votes had Increased to seven.
On Monday morning twenty of his dis
tinguished colleagues named him as
their choice for the throne of Peter,
and by afternoon this vote had in
creased to thirtyseven.
