POPE DID NOT WANT NEW QOWN9
L**1! Disinclination to flpend Hon*/ fO*
Ills Own U***.
This story is told to Illustrate the
pope's dislike of spending money on
himself: The other day Plo Centra,
his old and tried personal attendant,
opened the discussion while dressing
him in the morning, by remarking
that his gown was not as new as it
might be. "I suppose I have yourr
holiness' permission to order your
gowns for the jubilee?" he added.
"What gowns for the jubilee?" replied
Leo XIII. sharply.""I have three
sets already, and certainly require no
more. Why should I spend good
money for what I do not want?"
"But, holy father,' protested Centra,
who knows his master's weakTiPcn
,,?iinnnnlmy citmn nnn nf thu
groat personages who are rereived by
your holiness should notice a defect
such as this (pointing to an Invisible
spot on one sleeve)? He might think
you had put on your old clothes, not
j considering him worthy of the best."
After a pause I,eo XIII. said with a
sigh: "Well, perhaps you are right.
' Order them?but only one, mind you;
and my poor people will have to go
without so much bread. How dreadful
to be obliged to spend so much
money on one's clothes."

GoldEtntth. in a short and pretty
preface to the "Vicar of Wakefield."
says: "There are a hundred faults in
this thing and a hundred things might
be said to prove thom beauties. A
book may be amusing with many
errors or it may be dull without a
single absurdity. The hero In this
story unites In himself the three greatest
characters on earth?the priest,
the husbandman and the father of a
family.
Strange that the author could write
such a charming story about the very
three characters he knew least about,
for he had no fitness for nor experience
in either. It is not recorded that
he was ever in love or sought the com
pany of virtuous young ladies, yet his
ballad of the Hermit in the "Vicar of
Wakefield" is admitted to be the tenderest
and most perfect love poem !

the body of her husband, und wh??n
she found bim she knelt by his side
and wept and the big tears fell upon
the face of her ehild and mingled with
the milk he drew. "A child of misery
baptized in tears." A painting was
made of it, and Walter tsrott says tiie
only time lie ever saw Burns he was
looking at that painting and crying
iike a child. To read the lines and ,
imagine the painting is enough for me.
But if I had been Goldsmith I would
have set down the ipother of a family
as greater than the father. Evan
Howell said he would not vote for a
curfew, for his observation that if ;
the fathers wo'ulu stay at home at i
night the boys would and that song of
''Where is my wandering boy lo j
night?" would not have been written, i
But the fathers can't all stay at home I
at night. They are wanted at the 1
store, the office, the counting room, '
for on them depends the support of i
the family. But many a tired mother i
can sing. "Where is my wandering I
husband tonight?" Alas, too many can |

room or the hotel, while the mother in !
straining her mind to untangle that 1
hard sum. "If A and B can build a !
house In thirty days and B can build j
It in forty-five days, how long will it i
take A to build it?"
Take it all in all, it is the mothers
who are the hope of the world?the
saviours of the children. They certainly
save the girls, for nobody has yet
sung, "wnere la my wandering girl to- !
night?" If the fathers would do their j
half and save the boys it would be all !
right. Oh. out for the mothers and !
wives and sisters, what would become j
of us without them? Since 1 have been j
sick sometimes away in the silent ;
watches of the night. when, as .loh j
says, "Deep sleep falleth upon a man.*'
it does not fall upon a woman, for I
feel her gentle touch arranging the
cover and feeling whether I am breath
ing or not. Since I have been sick 1
have never caught her fast asleep and
the other night she got hurt with me
because I slipped out in the hall a.id
called the girls down to make a fire
and heat some water, for I was sick
anjl suffering, and there was no hot
water in the boiler. It is just as Scott
wrote:
"When pain and anguish wring the
brow.
A ministering angel thou."
And as Coleridge wrote:
"A mother is a mother still;
The holiest thing alive."
I may have written it before, but will
write it again, that one night I agree 1
to stay with two dear little girls while
their father and mother went out to
tea at aa neighbor's. This pleased me,
for I am always happy in their company.
and they iu mine. When bed
time came t undressed them and they
knelt by my knees and said their prayers;
one of them was soon asleep, but
the other lingered and said. "Gran'pa,
when papa comes home please tell him
I love him." Yes, 1 will," said I.
"What must I tell your mamma?" She
closed her eyes and said, "Nothing?
she knows I love her." That expresses
it. That child's father lores those
little girls dearly, but he keeps a drug
store, and Is the prescription partner.
He gbes to the store before his children
get up. He has but an hour with
them at noon, and has to return to the
store soon after supper. No wonder
these little girls want him to know
that they love him. Boys are very different,
and when they get up in their
teens mothers lose their influence.
Some say it is had associates. Of
course that has something to do with
it. but Cain didn't have any that we
know of, and yet he killed his brothei.
Environment is a big word, but it covers
everything that a boy inherits or
that he gets from association. One day
n iriena 01 mine, a Hebrew. saui to me.
"Major. I pelieve you does love your
ohildutn better dan aybody in dr
town." "Oh, no. I reckon not." said I.
Don't you love your children?" "Vy,
vea. of course: but I uelieve you vould
die for your ahildrun better dan anybody
in de town." "Oh, no, I reckon
not." said I. "Don't you love your children?"
"Vy, yes. of course, but I pelieve
you vould die for yours?" said I.
He pondered a while. "Yes, I pelieve I
vould: dat Is, for all?except Frank."
Frank was his had boy and gave him
troudle; but Frank turned out to be a
good boy. and Ish one of the nest citizens
of Atlanta.
One of my best old-time friends wgs
a Norwegian, and was killed during the
war. He had some good, amiable
daughters, and had two sons, who were
bad, very bad, and, as I was mayor of
the town, they Rare m# trouble. Their
father was a member ?>f the council, an
elder in my church, and I had favored
his boys as much as possible; but one
night, just before ChrlstifaaS. they
broke into a hardware store and stole
a keg of powder and hid it in their
stable loft. They had planned to blow
up the calabooa^. The city marshal
(old Sam Stewart) found it and arretted
the Soys and brought^Jiigfii before
me for trial. I Dut it off until" next
morning. 'That nigbt I went to see the
father and mother/ She cried, of 66'utse.
and he choked up ob she talked. "Mffif1

to me de goot Lord say mine poys is

Stockholm a hundred times, but von
day 1 qucet. I shost qucet rigt off all a
sudden, and I pelieve if you will try
my poy3 ono more time dcy will qucet."
And sure enough they did quit, and
grow up to a good manhood. One of
J hem is the cashier of the largest bank
in Memphis, and the other the head of
a hardware house in Louisville, Ky.

A Letter From Congressman
PE-RU-NA IS A HOUSEHOLD
SAFEGUARD.
No Family Should Be Without It.
PERUNA is a great family medicine.
The women praise it an well as the
men; it is just the tlnng for the many
little catarrhal ailments of childhood.
The following testimonials from thankful
men and women tell in direct, sincere
language what their success has been in
the use of Peruna in their families:
Lours J. Seherrinsky. 103 Locust street,
Atlantic. Iowa, writes:
"1 will tell you'briefly what Peruna hag
dene for me. I took a severe cold which
gave me a hard cough. All doctors' medicines
failed to cure it. 1 took one bottle
of Peruna and was well.
"Then my two children had had coughs
accompanied by gagging, llv wife had
stomach trouble for yours. She look Peruna
and now she la well.
"I cannot express my thanks in words,
but I recommend your remedy at every
opportunity, for 1 can conscientiously sov
that there is no medicine like Peruna.
Nearly every one in this town knew about
the sickness of myself and family, and
they have seen with Hstoni-slunent what
Peruna has done for us. Many followed
our example, and the result was health.
Thanking you heartily, 1 ass." ? L. J.
Seherrinskv.

"l consider I'eruna an indispensable article,

for five years. I consider it of snccial
value to weakly women, a* it luiilds up
the general health, drives out disease and
keeps you' in tlie best of health."--Mrs.

I'eruna protects the family against
1 cotidhs, eolns. catarrh, bronchitis, catarrh

A year ago last June I was troubled
greatly with indigestion after
meals. Often upon retiring at night
I would be seized with dizziness,
which often kept me awake for
hours. I was recommended to take
Kipuns Tabules by one of my
friends who had himself found use
for thein. I immediately found relief
in their use, and have since had
no return of my complaints.
