What Did They Mean?
On Christmas' morning the children
of the house were spreading out the
toys that Santa had put In their stock-
lngs “Father” said Willie “I wish 1 had
got a dictionary In my stocking as
well as these toys”
“Why” what ' did you want that
for?”
“So that I could find out the mean-
ing of words I heard Santa Claus say
when he stepped on the tacks I spread
on the carpet last night”
The Reason
At a football game an old gentleman
was watching from -the grand stand
and at the end of the first half he
pulled a bulky cigar case from his
pocket and turning to an enthusiast
sitting beside him asked : “Do you
smoke?” -
The enthusiast expecting a nice
cigar promptly replied : “Yes” -“Ah
1 Theh you don’t mind my smok-
ing?” smilingly replied the old gentleman
REASON IN THIS ARGUMENT
Also Miss Katie Might Have Discerned
Something Sounding Suspiciously
Like a Compliment
A faithful old servant In a southern
family has recently become a grand-
mother “What does Libby call her
new baby Mandy?” the old - woman
was asked
“She named her ‘Gabrlelle’ miss-
after you”
“Why the Idea Mandy I You know
my name is not Gabrlelle You’ve
called me ‘Miss Katie” all my life”
“Yas’m Miss Katie — dat I does But
when it comes to naming babies after
folkses It ain’t what dey is called It
Is what dey is like dat you names
’em foh You shorely Is mo’ like ‘Miss
Gabrlelle’ dan you is like ‘Miss Katie
jes like Libby says”
Foreslghted
“lias Jack anything laid by for a
rainy day?"-
“Yes he’s engaged to an heiress”
If you would be happy scatter happiness
The Unpardonable Sin
“What’s this I hear about the
Smythes planning a divorce?
thought they were wonderful pals—
that she took up golf just to be with
him and nil that sort of thing I”
“Yes-that’s Just the trouble she
now plays a better game than he does”
—Judge
The medium should always be In
good spirits' '
You wouldn’t put on hobbles
to run a foot race
Then why load up on handicaps for
the dhy’s work?
A good deal of food unwisely chosen
does weigh the body down and dog the
digestion and dull the brain
Why put on the hobbles? -
Grape-Nuts is a breakfast or lunch-
time dish for those who want food effi-
ciency and mind and body efficiency
" Grape-Nuts satisfies and nourishes
It delights the taste It is ready to serve
whenever you are ready to eat And it
digests easily quickly and completely—
‘ leaving no handicap of heaviness and
drowsiness
Grape-Nuts is the food for health
and action

assumed permanent residence at the
Vatican :
Cardinal Glorgl began recitation of
I the prayers for the dying at 10 o’clock
Friday morning This was the olficlal
beginning of the grund ' penitentiary

I grave condition of the Holy Father
was sent to the Italian government
Cardinal ' Gasparr! was notified as
Illness That Was Not at First 1 800DI ” “ ascertained that the
condition of his holiness wus critical
The cardinal in tears hurried to the
bedside of the pontiff
When the papal secretary of state
arrived the pope was resting trun
quilly and lmmedla ely requested that
the lust sacraments be administered
His holiness was conscious and calm
as Mgr Zaippinl read the ceremony
The pope then continued fully con-
scious but owing to bis weakened
condition only a small drop of holy
water was pluced on his tongue The
few cardinals gathered about the pon-
tiff's bedside recited the Psalms In
subdued tones while the ceremony
lasted ‘
The grand penitentiary of the sa-
cred college surrounded by assistants
then hppronched the bedside and read
to the pontiff the profession of faith
as formulated by the Vatican and the
Trent councils
Morn 'declto Formulas
Cardinal Glorgl after reading the
profession of fulth gave to the pon-
tiff the absolution in artlculo mortis
As though to Impress on every one
within hearing the solemnity of the
occasion the words of the formula
were pronounced slowly
The beads of all the various re
liglous orders In Home then entered
the sick-chamber One by one they
bestowed on the pope the indulgences
of the various orders which each rep-
resented Throughout the ceremony
a profound silence pervaded the room
which was broken only by the low
voice of each aged monk as he recited
the formula for his order
Following the ceremony the proces-
sion slowly returned to the Basilica
of St Peter Only the domestic prel-
ates whose- duty It Is to assist the
pontiff until his death remained

cities of the Great War— Or-

Rome Jan 21 — Benedict XV the
259th sovereign pontiff of the Church
of Rome died late toduy at the Vati-
can The end came after a day of ex
treme agony and delirium relieved at
times by merciful periods of sleep
At one time during the day there
was slight hope that the pope might
survive as he lapsed Into apparently
restful and refreshing slumber This
hope was shattered later when on
awakening there was a return of pain
and suffering
He had lapsed Into delirium earlier
in the day and failed to recognize any
one at the bedside and during the
early hours of the forenoon death was
expected within a few hours
The pope was In extreme weakness
and restless
Lying with closed eyes he mur-
mured “Peace peace” evidently allud
lng subconsciously to the great mission
of the pontificate In war time
Tragic Scene at Dawn
Other undistinguished messages fell
from his lips from time to time but
his vitality had sunk so low that he
spoke in the' weakest of whispers
The day dawned upon a tragic scene
at the Vatican- The papal court joined
HAD FILLED HIGH POSITIONS
Pope Benedict XV
the cardinals in prayer Outside In
the piazza of St Peter’s a crowd of
reverent men and women mostly
kneeling with faces heavenward ut-
tered their supplications for the recov-
ery of the Holy Father
The four attending physicians did
all In their power to relieve his suffer-
ings but they could hold out no hope
for ultimate recovery The strain was
telling on all In the anteroom off
the sick-chamber high prelates of the
church faces drawn with the agony
sf their sorrow prayed without ces-
sation Suffers Great Pain
At 8 a m the Holy Father was still
breathing but was in great pain and
suffering agonized contractions of the
throat A brief bulletin was issued
saying:
“His holiness Is weaker The symp-
toms of pneumonia have extended"
By this time all hope had been aban-
doned and the most optimistic of the
Vatican entourage had come to realize
that the end was a matter of hours If
not minutes
Realizes Approach of End
When the pope lost consciousness
late Friday afternoon the attending
physicians did not hesitate In express-
ing their fears that death was at hand
The pope bad been sinking all day
due to inflammation of the lungs and
weak heart action but bad retained
consciousness When he sank into a
state of coma after many hours of
patient suffering all preparations had
been made and all pre-death ceremo-
nies completed
Shortly before noon the Vatican an-
nounced that the pontiff bad requested
the last sacraments realizing that he
was dying
Throughout the afternoon be was
kept alive by use of oxygen and arti-
ficial heart stimulants At night the
four physicians at the pontifical bed-
side administered these restoratives at
frequent Intervals i
Shortly after noon Mgr Zampanl
administered the last sacrament

the horrors and sorrow of the World

him with great sorrow and after the
sinking of the Lusitania he telegraph-
ed the German emperor telling his
abhorrence of the deed

peace was Issued one week after his
coronation The appeal failed to bring
results as did also his later plan for
a Christmas truce In January and in
July 1915 he again tried to bring
about peace negotiations In March
idl6 he repeated his attempts and in
May of the same year suggested that
America should act as conciliator be-

to President Wilson to this effect
reached Washington when Germany
and the United States were involved

proved of President Wilson’s peace
note In 1917 but three months later

belligerent rulers to end the struggle

were Issued In behalf of weaker na-
tions Just before the conference President
Wilson had a private conference with
Pope Benedict at the Vatican in which
many questions of a social and inter-
national nature were discussed

Irish problem was received with great
pleasure by the pope who Issued a
message congratulating the principals
In the negotiations
