ASSIST IS REMARKABLE CITY
Shows How Influence Of One Man

the Centuries.

A remarkable city Is Assist. show

centuries. 1t Is seven hundred years
and more since st. Francis lived and
died here. and yet today Assist is lit
tie besides the city Of st. Francis. His
name lends 1t whatever fame and i'm
pOrtance 1t may have, and something
of his kindly spirit seems to hang
about 1t still.
Assist Is a bare little Italian hill
town, built of dull stone, with narrow,
winding rocky streets. looking out owe
n Of the fairest prospects in all
Italy. Here st. Francis was born Of
rich parents, here he led an idle,
spendthrift youth, and here he was
suddenly seized with the idea of uni.
versal brotherhood and the necessity
for poverty. Here he founded the
Franciscan order, praying that its dis
tinctive sign might be "never to pos.
sess anything under the sun and to
have no means of living save by beg.
ging."
He carried out his rule in strictest
practice, living in a hut Of reeds built
where now stands the church of st.
Mary of the Angels. He felt a great
love for all things created, so that he
hailed the u as his brother and
preached to the fishes. All Of these In.
cidents in his career and many 9th.
ers are set forth in noble frescoes by
GiOttO in the Franciscan church at
Assist.
In Assist, too, is the tomb of St.
Francis, in a little chapel of the Fran.
ciscan monastery. The tomb Is sur.
rounded by beautiful marbles and rich
work in beaten bronze. The world
has loved st. Francis, but apparent.

Washinuton's Two Birthdays.

In 1852 Pope Gregory XIII ordered
that all the Catholic countries should
adopt a new calendar. This calendar
was correct and is at the present
time in general use throughout the
world. In the year that the calendar
was adopted ten days were dropped.
Thus the day after October 4 of the
Julian calendar became October Is in
the Gregorian. This calendar vas not
adopted by England until 1852. Wash
ington being born in 1872, he was
twenty years old at the time the new
calendar was adopted. Thus his first
20 birthdays fell on the 18th of Feb.
ruary and the others fell on the 22nd.
