Che Pope and Joan of Arc Patron Saint of France JAN OF ARC rank* easily as the greatest heroin^, In hUtory. In France her name Is venerated as that of no other being, with the exception of the “Man of Sorrows" and his Mother. There the memory of the Maid of Orleans is Invoked by all parties, the lover of liberty vying with the monarchist, the freethinker seek ing to ontrun the chnrchman In doing her honor. She has long been the patron saint of France in fact as the pope has now decided to make her in same. Canonization in the Roman Catholic church is a long process. There are three full stages passed, with numerous trials in which the “devil's advocate" plays his part, urg ing all possible objections to the can didate. If his charges are not deemed of sufficient weight and a favorable verdict is rendered, the first step is JOAK OF ABC 8TATCA IX AT. DAN 18. taken, after which the candidate U called “the venerable.” This stage was passed with Joan some years ago. The next step is that of beatification, which has last been completed, the pope during the ceremony having seen a vision of the maid, it is reported, and having received from her a proph ecy of great deeds and tribulations to come. This stage over, the candidate becomes “the blessed,” which is Joan's official designation at this time. The final act is canonization proper, when the candidate comes into full saint ship. When that stage will be com pleted with the warrior maid It Is im possible to say, but probably next April. At least It will be over long before the five hundredth anniversary of her birth, Jan. 6, 191Z While there is now but one voice concerning Joan of Arc herself, there has been criticism of the proposed canonisation, her friends in the liberal and anticlerical elements declaring that the act will be one of solemn mockery, since it was the church that put her to death. These even go so far as to charge that the step is a political one and is intended to win back French allegiance to the church, which has been sadly shaken of late. They further aver that, whereas the name of Joan is one to conjure with among the friends of liberty and hu manity, there will be many of such who will never take It upon their lip# after she is officially made a saint. In reply to all this the Catholic friends of Joan assert that it is not correct to say the church as such put her to death. For this the English wore responsible, and certain clerical officials only were involved in the con spiracy. In proof they point to the fact that the church fully rehabilitat ed her twenty-five years later. That the canonization la not a political move is shown by the fact, they aver, that the movement for it has been going on more than a quarter of a century, or long before the present troubles started in France. The world in general favors the ec clesiastical view, regarding canoniza tion as a tardy act of Justice. The fame of Joan of Arc is secure. She is too firmly established In the hearts of all mankind for this ceremony to alienate even the opponents of the church, while with the millions of its adherents the enrolling of her name on the calendar of saints will bring to her memory added devotion. The simple story of Joan of Arc is one of the moat spiritual, beautiful and pathetic in all history. It is the sort of thing men take to their hearts and Cherish as long as the world stands. Indeed, It is a question If there has ever been an episode outside of sacred history that has so appealed to the eouls of men. Certainly there has been none that has received more univer sal treatment In painting, sculpture, drama and letters. Yet for nearly four centuries after her death scant Justice was done to the memory of the war rior maid. She was misrepresented by Witten a* great'as Shakespeare ana Yoltalie. It has been only In the last handled yean that the world has ■wakened to the miracle, the parity ' and the unselfishness of her life. Un lettered peasant girl hearing her voices, she was a prophecy of the spir itual discoveries now being made by science hundreds of yean after her death. Unversed for s day in the arts of war, ahe yet displayed genius as a strategist and tactician that has been j the marvel of military authorities from 1 that day till the present. Without re- ! liglous knowledge other than that gained from her own soul and her sim ple devotions, she gave answers that occicsUi^ci ud questioners tlietr living ana nave Deon the wonder of students since. She was chaste lu an age of universal debauch ery, was sincerely religious in a time of general superstition and hypocrisy, was the supreme type of patriotism In a period when the patriotism of France bad sunk to Its lowest ebb, and, I was about to say, was brave in an era of cowards. That would not be quite Just to the fifteenth century. There was a certain kind of courage in that time, though it was not of the highest grade and was physical rather than moral courage. It was this kind of France Joan came to save. Never a nation In history needed saving more. Joan's real name was Jeannette Dare. Somebody afterward wrote the name IVArc, wanting it to appear that she belonged to the pinchbeck aristoc racy, not realizing that she was of an Infinitely higher order of nobility, that of the royal race of great souls. She was the child of peasants and was born in the little village of Domn»my, In Lorraine. Many historical Inaccu racies were committed In her name, one l>e!ng that she was a shepherdess. This was untrue, except that she, may have helped out of doors now and then and may occasionally have tend ed a few sheep. For the most part she was simply a good girl, devout, helping her mother and waiting on the sick. She was thirteen when she first beard her voices calling on her to go to the salvation of France, but it was nearly four years before she could overcome her native modesty and ti midity and take up the work “for which she was born.” Her story from this time on the world knows by heart. She relieved Orleans, won other victories and saw her king crowned, but finally suffered reverses, was taken prisoner and after the most shameful trial In history was burned In the pub lic square of Rouen. I know of noth ing more thrilling In ail the annals of man than her pure young voice crying out of the flames: “My voices were of God. They have not deceived me.” May was a crucial month In the life of Jeanne. She relieved Orleans on May 8, 1429, was taken prisoner May 24, 1430, and was executed May 30, 1431. being only a trifle over nineteen at the time. There Is believed to be no authentic portrait of the Maid of Orleans. The writer has In his collection over 300 pictures of her, and these comprise only a beginning of the list, From a STATUS OF THE MAID OF OBLEAB8 BT PKCH1NE. careful study of some nueentu cen tury paintings and prints, of others thought to be genuine and of some whose origin Is not known I believe a line can be gained on her real appear ance. All these early portraits men tioned have a general similarity atE agree with traditions. If they are cor rect, she looked not unlike a feminine edition of Oliver Cromwell, whom in some way8 she resembled In character. Both “new modeled" their armies, Im posing sobriety and fllllug them with a religious spirit. Both were Intensely devont and patriotic, both had visions, jus both loved God and man. 3. A. EDGEUTON.

JAMES A TAW NEY, the Min nesota repre sentative who fig ures conspicuously in the controversy between the presi dent and cougress over the secret service. Is chair man of the house a p p r oprialions committee. In that capacity he had • considerable to do JAMES A. TAWlflT. with the action of congress respecting the secret service to which the presi dent so strenuously objected. Mr. Itoosevclt in his special message laid the responsibility for the adoption of the clause restricting the oiieratlons of the secret service directly at the door of this committee. Mr. Tawney is one of the most Influ ential of the house leaders. He was born In what Is now the battlefield of Gettysburg Jan. 30, 1855, and when he was eight years and five months old be witnessed that tremendous conflict. When Mr. Tawney got to be a con gressman he sat beside General Fitz hugh Lee one night at a banquet. They were total strangers except that Tawney knew I.ee by sight. The youthful congressman remarked to the old soldier that he was glad that hos tilities had ceased between them. Lee was surprised aud expressed a desire for an explanation, when Tawney told him that he had witnessed the cavalry fight on the afternoon of the third day of the battle, when a shell from a Confederate battery exploded not far from the Tawney homestead. Later Lee retorted on the young man at a banquet at OIJ Point Comfort, when he said that he ordered the nrtillery to cease firing nt the stone house, which he supposed was Mend's head quarters until he discovered that there was a lad In It who would one day In fluence congress to make an appropri ation to the Jamestown exposition, commemorative of the birth of Chris tian civilization In the original thir teen colonies. Mayor Ernest Nathan of Rome has been an active figure In the rescue work In connection with the great Italian earthquake. He was promi nent in the organization of the corps of nurses and physicians of the Red cross society wuicu was dispatched to Sicily when news of the terrible dis aster was received. Signor Nathan’s election as mayor, or syndic, of Rome a year ago was the occasion of com ment at the time on nccount of his being a Jew. lie is also a former graud master of ERNEST NATHAN. Freemasons. Ills election was brought about by a unlou of other municipal parties In the Rome council against the Clericals, the aldermanle vote In his favor being 00 to 12. Much feel ing In ecclesiastical quarters was caused by the result of this contro versy. The mayor Is a son of Giuseppe and Sarah Nathan, who befriended the Italian patriot Mazzinl In his struggles for a united Italy. They lived at one time In London, and It was there that the present mayor of the Eternal City was born. He was educated at Oxford university and Is a versatile scholar. He Is proprietor of a newspaper of Liberal politics. Recently when a train front Naples bringing 1,200 ref ugees reached Rome Mayor Nathan communicated with the Vatican, ask ing the pope to place the Vatican hos pital at the disposal of the wounded. The papal authorities Instantly agreed and prepared 400 beds. The first 120 of the wounded sent to the Vatican were received at the railroad station by Mgr. Misclatelll, sent especially by the pope. When the injured bad been installed the pope himself paid a visit to the hospi tal, passing through the basilica of St. Feter and over the arch connecting the basilica with the hospital. In doing so he passed outside the terri tory which under the Italian law is guaranteed to him and enjoys extra territoriality. Daniel F. Lafean, re-elected to con gress from the York district of Fenn S. r. ULFEAX syivauia, is Known as “the candy king." He went by a single stride from an absorption in business so deep that It completely excluded politics to a seat In the house of representatives, which he, a Re publican, has re tained for four con secutive terms in the interest of a normally Democrat ic district. But not this or even the Infant boom for him as the nest gov ernor of Pennsylvania Is scarcely so Interesting as his rise from a poor boy to a reputed millionaire by his Indus try and energy alone. A VICTIM OF CIRCUMSTANCE. HE wished to hold an office, But that could never be. The man without a country Was better oft than he. HIS views upon all questions Were eminently sound. Their wisdom could be never With candidacy crowned. HIS public life was spotless. His hearth a model sweet. His bearing In a crisis Appropriate and meet.

And Flemish Ups are willing. And soft the maids of Italy. And 8panlsh eyes sre thrilling. Still, though I bask beneath their smile. Their charms fall to bind me. And my heart falls back to Erin's lain, To the girl I left behind me. For she’s as fair as Shannon's side And purer than its waler. But she refused to be my bride. Though many a year 1 sought her. Yet since to France 1 sailed away Her letters oft remind me That I promised never to gainsay The girl I left behind me. She says: "My own dear love, come home. My friends are rich and many. ©r else abroad with you I’ll roam, A soldier stout as any. If you’ll not come nor let me go. I’ll think you have resigned me." My heart nigh broke when I answered "No" To the girl I left behind me. For never shall my true love brave A life of war and toiling. And never as a skulking slave I’ll tread my native soil on. But were 1 free or to be freed The battle's close would find me To Ireland bound, nor message need From the girl I left behind me. —Author Unknown. THE CELESTIAL LOVE. \ND they serve men austerely.
