GIVES $4,000 TO THE POPE
Story Reveals Characteristics Of the

An anecdote is being told about the
pope which shows his natural simple

his holiness has been great friend of
Genoese nobleman who was in the
habit of calling him by his Christian
name and used the diminutive of
James, "Giacomino," corresponding to
the English Jimmy" This nobleman
was recently received in audience by
the pope, who when he saw him kneel
down said: NO, no: Jimmy won't al
low you to do that
The pope and his friend had long
talk and the nobleman, who is very
rich, asked the pope to allow him to
present him with some gift. Il have
a splendid old silver service worthy Of
a pope and want to give it to you."
said the nobleman mo, thank you"
replied the pope, Il have no use for a
silver service; what l need is hard
cash, which is more useful for the
church" The nobleman asked per-
mission to sign check there and then
and gave it to the pope. He drew it
for $4,000, as that was what the sill
yer service was worth.
