MEDIATION IN WAR
Roman Popes, From Earliest
Time Deemed It Privilege.
First Instance Dates From 409, When
Effort Was Made to Arrange
Peace With Goth Leader.
From the earliest time of papacy,
popes, as the religious heads of tho
Catholic church, have considered it
their task to intercede as mediators
in temporal disputes, observes a historian.
l ollowing are a few instances:
As eariy us 409. when Alaric 1 declared
lie \< mild withdraw from Rome
only on condition that the Romans
should arrange a peace favorable to'
him, S. Innocent I went with an embassy
of the IV 'bans to Emperor Ilonerius,
at Kavefinu, to try, if possible,
to make p? ace with him and the Cloths,
but falb'd in his endeavors to bring
about peace. More successful was J
Gregory I, who played the same parti
on the occasion of the invasion of Italy j
by the Lombards, owing to Ids friend-;
ship wit it the Lotnbardian queen Theu- j
dulindti, he actually mediated a favorable
peace. When northern Italy was
devastated by Attila the veto table
bishop of IJome. Leo I?the lirst of the
great popes?by a personal encounter!
with the king of the linns, prevented
him ftoat marching upon Itome. lie
went in 452 to upper Italy, and met
Attila at Mineio, in the vicinity of
Mantua, obtaining from hint the promise
that he would withdraw from Italy
and negotiate peace with the emperor.'
This pope also succeeded in obtaining
another favor for the inhabitants of i
Home. When in 455 the city was cap- i
tared by the Vandals under Geneseric, J
the "scourge of God," Leo's intercos-l
sion obtained a promise that the city!
should not he Injured and the lives of
the Inhabitants should be spared.
Another pope, Benedict the Twelfth,
who from 1334 to 1342 occupied the
holy sec, was as unsuccessful as a
mediator as the present supreme pontiff
At that time Charles IV of France j
had died without leaving an heir, and j
when his cousin, Philip VI, put the |
crown on his head, his right to do so :
was contested by Edward III of Eng-1
land. Benedict XII, who wanted to!
mediate, was not listened to, and there i
ensued hostilities lasting, with some'
Interruptions, for a hundred years.
The popes mediated successfully between
Christian opponents In cases)
where It was Important to unite them
In the common cause of Christianity j
against Turkey.
Pope Gregory (1271-1270), for the
sake of a crusade against the Turks,
worked lndefatlgahly upon n reconciliation
of the princes in Italy and
Germany, and Paul III (1534-1549),
nearly three centuries later, tried to
prevent a war between Spain and
France. Clement IX aided Venice)
against the Turks by mediating the j
ncace between Louis XIV nn<l Sn?in I
etc.
What You've Been Waiting For.
Masculine readers are not usually
Interested In pictures showing feminine
fashions, notes the Outlook, hut certain
halftones in a Brooklyn furrier's
catalogue are calculated to awaken a
somnolent Intellectual activity In the
man who lias been leisurely conning
the rise in coal and milk bills. On the
first page is shown an evening wrap
made of chinchilla; its price is $10,000.
The next page illustrates a wrap
which Is made up in various furs to
suit different sized purses. The humbler
seeker for borrowed warmth may
get this moleskin for the trifle of $850; j
more fastidious lastcs may call for one >
of ermine at $2,000; those who prefer!
Hudson Bay sable may secure their!
choice for $15,000; while the lady who
desires "the real thing" may have her j
wrap made of Russian sable at a co?t
of $75,000. An Inferior garment of j
Russian sable, It may he added, will
be furnished at $25,000 for anyone of!
economical tastes.

cording to a letter from one of tlie industrial
centers over there, and return
lias been made to the skirt that ever i
has been the budge of femininity. Only i
where working close to certain machin- \
cry would make skirts dangerous have '
they been discarded for bloomers, or,
in most instances, overalls. What was j
taken up as a fad, says a correspond- 1
ent, has given way to the older and
stronger dictates of modesty. And
nfter work, In spite of the fact that It
has been work amid grouse and dirt
of the exceptional sort?or perhaps
because of it?there Is recourse to the
powder puff and the other appurtenances
of frill that in some form or
other are synonymous with woman the
world over.
Paper Money's Nicknames.
Now tliut paper money Is a perma,
nent part of our pocket currency, we
await the inevitable nickname for the
notes, which is sure to come, says the
London Chronicle.
If we follow the precedent set across
the Atlantic In 18C2, when "greenbacks"
first made their appearance, we might
he satisfied with "Westminster," with
reference to the very ndmirahle lithograph
of the palace which adorns the
reverse of the new notes. Something
better than that is sure to come along.
Tn the army the notes are known as
"OTs," In Jocular allusion to the remarkably
narrow chest which the artist
hns given St. George, who Is In conflict
with a very robust drugon.

You Can't Eat Your

Rut You Can Poach Your Egg and
Eat the Hen Later
Washington, Feb. 20.?Appreciation
of this fact, the poultry specialists
of the United States Department
of Agriculture say, will add 150,000,000
eggs to our food supply this year
without reducing our supply of chicken
meat. Investigators have found
that because poultry brings 2 cents
a pound more in winter than in late
spring, many farmers in the South
have been throwing away valuable
egg profit just to get 8 cents more
per hen. They believe that if farmers
will keep their laying hens and
sell their eggs and then market the
birds in the late spring, they will not
only add to the food supply, but actually
increase their profits -">0 cents
per hen,
Lockhart Remembers

The people of Tjorkhnrt and romniunity
sent ?"20.00 worth of cigars,
cigarettes, candy and chewing gum
t<> eleven of the Lockhart boys today
who are in France with Co. "C"
117th Regiment Engineers from South
Carolina. The Lockhart hoys are as
follows: G. F. Vaughn. T. F. Broom,

Union Snits Too
"Union Suits" but the army suits
its young men even better than their
own home town in time of war. Another
patriot from this community
has answered the call to the colors
by enlistincr in the United Stages
Army. Willie Gaden is now on duty
at Fort Serene, near Savannah, Ga.,
in the Infantry branch of the service.
Union county is the only county in
South Carolina which filled it entire
gross quota by voluntary enlistments,
and therefore did not need to contribute
any man under the selectiveservice
act. The fact that its quota
is filled, however, only seems to encourage
voluntary enlistment all the
more, for many young men are each
week heintr sworn into the armv. thus
pledging "allegance to my flag, and
the country for which it stands. One
nation, indivisablc, with liberty and {
Justice for all." '
Kindness Wins.
A man who gets on well with his antnulls
will get on well with his fellow
men.
