RIPPLING RHYMES,
By Walt Mason.
THE SECRET SORROW,

AS Boswell to James Bees
wax Jing. my task will soon be
closed; he would not smile or
dance or sing, as optimists pro-
posed. So men have said he
was a crouch because he heaved
no smiles. but rose repining from
his couch, and groaned in many
styles. But ere he left these
scenes of strife. he said to me,
"Old scout. my relatives have
spoiled my life. and put me down
and out. Oh. l have uncles by
the score, who ate all | could
earn, and | have nieces twelve
or more. and l have aunts to
burn. My wife has cousins by
the ton. and countless nieces,
too. and they would eat up all
the mon that for my toll / drew.
They just dropped in three times
day. when meals were on the
board; with cleaning fangs
they came my way, on foot or in
a ford. And I'd have fired each
hungry bore, but wife would
not agree; the more that fiivver-
ed to our door, the happier was
she. l broke my springs and
stripped my gears providing
tea and toast, and thus through
long and weary years l fed q
hungry host. And people
thought me full of guile because
my face was grim: l couldn't
dance around and smile. or sing
a hoop-la hymn" He breathed
a few despairing pants. then
his tired form was still; and
forty sons-in-law and aunts
cried, Did he make will?"

GENOA TO THE HAGUE.

Mr.. Lloyd George has employed
many rhetorical expressions to point
his resolve TO hold on Mt Genoa until
the very last. but even he now admits
that good part OF the work which
he there undertook has Mt least to be
postponed. His ten-year truce has
come down to a four-month truce.
That period OF aggression will also
be n period In which the various
nations agree TO make no separate
treaties with Russia. This particular

great scorn by NJ. Tchltchorin. He
declares that Il cannot stand for "a

Won Red Hat in Poland.

Cardinal Archille Ratti, archbish-
op of Milan, was for several years
papal nuncio in Poland, where his
discharge of important ecclesiastical
functions when the Polish question
became. acute earned for him the es-
TEEN of Benedict XIV. and the graft
tude of vatican authorities. 1t was
because of this service that the red
hat was conferred upon him on June
16, 1921, when a similar honor was
bestowed on Cardinal laurent.
Cardinal Ratti was born in Italy
on October IL, 1858. For many
years he was librarian of the Am
brosian library and archives at Mi
Ian. Later he became librarian OF
the vatican. In this position he re-
manned until the new republic of Po-
land established official diplomatic
relations with the vatican at which
time Ratti was appointed archbish-
OPP and was assigned to Poland as the
representative Of the holy see.
That country was then torn with
the arrangements from religion
brought about by the communistic
propaganda from soviet Russia and
Archbishop Ratti counteracted the
spread of radicalism. He also won
the esteem of Polish Catholics by his
efforts in behalf of destitute chill
dren orphaned by the war.
Cardinal Ratti as the archbishop
of Milan presides over one Of the
most important archdiocese in Italy.
The city being a great industrial
center ,one of its main requirements
is that the cardinal shall possess a
thorough knowledge of political and
social problems. He is big physical
ly and is reputed to have liberal
tendencies.

Methodists Will
Enroll Million
in Tithing Plan

Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. 6.-The most
extensive and thorough-going CAM
paign ever attempted by any re-
ligious denomination, in the interest
of Christian stewardship has just
been launched by the Methodist Epis-
copal church.
"Three hundred thousand Ameri-
can Methodists are now enrolled as
Christian stewards, men and women
who agree to pay a tenth of their in
come to Christian work." declared
the Reverend DR.. Luther E. Lovejoy,
D. D., of Chicago, secretary of the
stewardship division of the commit
tee on conservation and advance,
here today. "The program just an
nounced for 1922 by the stewardship
division, however, calls for an imme-
diate enrolment to the number of
not less than a full million of tithing
stewards, a quarter of the member
ship of the church.
"The plan is for a great tithing
demonstration to be completed on
Easter Sunday. After a period Of
intensive preparation through Feb
ruary and March every member Of
the church and Sunday school will
be asked to lay aside one-tenth OF
his or her income, for the week be.
tween Palm Sunday and Easter, anc
bring it to the treasury of the
church on Easter Sunday, as part
of the program for that day.

ture dealer, a refrigerator maker
and a Missouri music man will pre-.
sent a tenth of their profits for the
week. A woman in Florida will give
a tenth of her egg money. The treas
urer of one of the largest automo-
bile factories, the manager of a
chain of ten-cent stores and one Of
the largest show manufacturers will
turn. over tenth of their income.
