The Pope con- verscd for a long time with Count Pocci. even rising and walking about the room for a few minutes, leaning on his arm.

The Pope's organism. however. is abnormally strong and tough. which can do mira— cles. Nevertheless science can do noth- ing more."

Contrary to a popular belief. Ed- ward Everett Hale now comes forward with a positive statement that Daniel Webster was not a drunkard. He cites a. long acquaintance with the eminent orator and also an intimacy which permitted him' to know much of his habits and desires. Mr. Hale shatters conclusively all the evidence of Intemperance with which the life of Webster was impugned. However. he does admit that the states- man tasted on occasional glass and was not a bad judge of exhiliarsting stimulants On one occasion. just previous to ad- dressing a political meeting. Daniel Webster entered a small inn. The place was chilly. and a large crowd had gathered about an inert stove. The landlord ‘was delighted at having so distinguished a man as a guest Hand- ing Mr Webster a glass of whiskey, he said, graciously: "Take it, air; it will warm you up. " "Thank you." said Webster. He tasted the liquor. made a wry face. pondered a moment and then opened the stove a door throwing the whiskey into the fire saying as he did so.

The trouble began at one of the usual Saturday night auctions. when Bill Jones and Abs Smith. who had been at ioggerheads for some time, began bidding on an old fish crate. The box wasn’t worth a. single dollar. but the bidding ran up. a nickel at a time, until it was finally knocked down to 'limlth for 83.25." “ Hold on.’ says Jones.

Jenkins rubbed his eyes and looked around him. Somehow the surroundings did not look familiar. lie failed to recognize any of the buildings which stand about Twenty-first street and Wabash avenue. He walked over to a lamp- -post. 9n the street sign was printed‘ Sixty~iirsf. " thrcupon Jenkins said some things not complimentary to the good sense of street car conductors. “Now 1'" have to wait for an owl car " he growled to himself. “and if‘ ll take me a couple of hours to get down home to Twenty first street." Then an awful thought came to him. Hehad only four cents in his pocket and was five miles from home without a friend within touching distance. An OWI came along and went jingling past while Jenkins still stood and wondered what on earth he had better do. The idea of walking five miles or more. on a below zero morning did not appeal to him. He had walked. per haps. a mile when a two-horse. covered wagon came rumbling along. The end gate happened to be down and Jenkins climbed in, evening clothes. top hat and all. The driver did not see him. and he felt it was not likely that any of his aristocratic friends would be aboard at that hour of the morning. Half a mile north the wagon turned west and Jen- kins dropped off. The ride had made him still colder. and he shivered at the prospect of walking more than three miles further in the face of the icy wind. Far down to the south he could hear the jangiing of bells of another owl car coming in his direction. if he could only get hold of another copper cent. He was walking along with his head down. when under the glare of an electric light his eye caught a metallic gleam. He fairly rushed to pick it up and see what it was. Great heavens! It was a cent—a real cent! Now. all at once. Jenkins felt as rich as a lord. He could ride He stopped the car with the air of a prince and got on board. carefully clutching the dye precitn‘ss soppers in his hands.
