Grable, a St. Louis newspaper man, celebrated his fiftieth birthday in a unique way. He gave a birthday party and invited 75 children. Cobb Shinn was in St. Louis at the time, and was asked to help entertain the youngsters by drawing pictures on the large paper hats which were given to each child. He would draw what ever the children asked for, and the subjects were many ana various. Finally a five-year-old handed up his hat and said: “I want a pig.” The drawing was started, when a brother about a year older, spoke upf “Aw, he don’t want a picture of a pig”—and the argument was on. When the drawing was finished, the five-year-old stuck out his chest and boasted: “See, I got what I wanted!” "Yes, but just wait until I get you home and see if I don’t ruin you,” re plied the brother.

POPE BENEDICT KV SUCCUMBS ID PNEUMONIA Illness That Was Not at First Regarded as Serious Has Fatal Ending. PONTIFF HAD BRIEF REIGN Elevated to the Papal Throne in 1914, His Life Was Saddened by the Atro cities of the Great War—Or dained Priest in 1874. Rome.—Pope Benedict XV is dead. From a slight cold, which had not been regarded as anything serious, double pneumonia developed, and the physicians in attendance had given up hope for the recovery of their dis tinguished patient. Their bulletins had in a measure prepared the world for the sad event. Cardinal Gasparri, papal secretary of state, made public the fact of the death of the pope. His holiness bad been suffering for some days, having contracted double pneumonia, and treatment began too late. During the early hours of the morn ing, toward 4 o’clock, there was a sud den change for the worse and the bronchial affection from which his holi ness had been suffering for several days, spread to his lungs. The pontiff asked for and' received the last sacrament, insisting upon this, “If only to give a good example,” he said, despite attempts by his attend ants to dissuade him. The pope's physicians were In con sultation at the Vatican at an early hour, and the morning bulletin issued afterward indicated an extremely seri- MKr M I w HL \ ■k / J HHkf The Late Pope Benedict XV. ous condition. Dr. Battistini, however, stated then that while the condition of his holiness was grave, it was not hopeless. Pope Given Oxygen. Soon thereafter, however, the pope’s condition became aggravated and the administration of oxygen was begun. Meanwhile, prayers were being said in all the churches and Catholic insti tutions of Rome on behalf of his holi ness and great crowds began to as semble in St. Peter’s. The sudden change for the worse in the pontiff’s condition seemed to have come as a great surprise, even to those who had been observing him most closely. Last evening he received some strengthening Injections and the doctors then stated they were satis fied with his condition, expressing hope that danger of an extension of the In flammation to the lungs had passed and saying the crisis appeared to be overcome. One of the most disturbing condi tions that developed early in the day seemed to be passing away after 10 o’clock in the morning, as the pontiff was then able to expectorate slightly. This aroused more hope among the watchers, but toward 11 o’clock he be came worse again and oxygen then was administered. Cardinal* Wait Word. Mgr. Zampini, sacristan of the apos tolic palace, Mgr. Carlo Respighi, the pontifical prefect of ceremonies, and Mgr. Migone, the private chamberlain, were at the pope’s bedside. There was an air of deep anxiety and apprehension about the Vatican, where manj’ of the cardinals were waiting in an antechamber, all the cardinals in Italy having assembled in Rome upon receiving word of the pope’s serious illness. The doctors, after a consultation, did not conceal the gravity of the pontiff’s condition, although Professor Marchiafara took a more hopeful view than his col leagues. Pope Hears Mass Celebrated. Mgr. Migone celebrated mass in an apartment adjoining the pope’s bed room.

It Is ascer tained that inflammatory process has spread to the right lung. “The patient passed an agitated night and had no sleep. This morning the dyspnoea is intense. The tempera ture was 104, the pulse 102 and the respiration 58. “BATTISTINI, "CHERUBINI, “BIGNAMI, “MARCHIAFAVA.” Takes Turn for Worse. It was about 4 o’clock in the morning that the change for the worse in the pope’s condition occurred. It was espe cially due to catarrh, which has spread to both lungs, to inability t<» expec torate and to pulmonary inflammation, it w’as stated. Professor Cherubini v who had been waiting at the Vatican, was immediately summoned. He found the pope mentally depressed and pant ing for breath. Realizing the patient’s serious con dition, Dr. Cherubini administered sedatives and expectorants, but the beneficial effects expected did not man ifest themselves. In view of the grav ity of the situation Dr. Cherubini sent an urgent call to Professor Bignami, a Vatican automobile being dispatched to bring him to the Vatican, his ar rival there following shortly. Consultation Is Held. Professor Bignami the evening be fore had remarked upon the absence of a cough, checking expectoration, and consequently was not surprised by the development, it appeared. After a brief inspection of the patient he left to bring Professor Machiafava, with whom he shortly afterward consulted in the Vatican. HAD FILLED HIGH POSITIONS Pope Benedict Prominent in Church Counsels Before His Elevation to the Papal Throne. Pope Benedict XV rose to the su preme head of the Catholic church Sept. 6, 1914, less than six months after he was elevated to the cardinal ship. He was born of noble parents at Pogli. near Genoa, Italy, Nov. 21. 1854. His father was Marquis Della Chlesa. Educated at Capronican college and the Academy of Ecclesiastics, he was ordained to the priesthood in 1878. He was taken to Madrid, Spain, by Cardinal Rampolla, and for four years was secretary of the nunciature in Spain. In 1901 he was appointed con suitor of the holy office and in 1907 Pope Plus gave him the appointment of archbishop of the see of Bologna. He was made a cardinal in May. 1914. Saddened By Horrors of War. Pope Benedict was much affected by the horrors and sorrow of the World war and many times tried to bring about peace negotiations. Germany’s violation of Belgium’s neutrality tilled him with great sorrow and after the sinking of the Lusitania, he telegraph ed the German emperor telling his abhorrence of the deed. Pope Benedict’s first appeal for 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, 1916, he repeated his attempts and in May of the same year suggested that America should act as conciliator be tween the warring nations. His note to President Wilson to this effect reached Washington when Germany and the United States were involved In a diplomatic crisis. The Vatican ap proved of President Wilson’s peace note in 1917, but three months later the United States entered the war. Made Appeal for Peace. The Pope’s most memorable appeal for peace was issued in his own hand writing on August 8, 1917, and asked belligerent rulers to end the struggle. During the peace conference his pleas 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. The settlement of the 700-year-old Irish problem was received with great pleasure by the pope, who issued a message congratulating the principals in the negotiations. and Austria, I realized that Pope Bene dict above all was in truth the holy father of all people, and one who, in the name and in accordance with the teachings of his Master, was trying to help them all. Everywhere they told me of his generous gifts to help the needy; everywhere was evidence of his Interest in the distressed. His affec tion and Christian charity were the real overflow of a true Christian heart that had been ennobled by a life-long love .and observance of die Master’s commandments.” ®Tiie ® American LEGION (Copy for Thia Department Supplied by the American Legion News Service.)

JUMPING BEANS FOR GIRLS Sick and Wounded Veterans in New Mexico Hospitals Are Hungry for Cheer Letters. Trained to leap through hoops and stand unhitched, thousands of genuine Mexican jumping beans are awaiting girls of the United States who will write a little letter of cheer to a dis abled soldier. The exchange of letters for jumping beans is being made through Herman G. Baca, Santa Fe, N. M., adjutant of the American Le gion of the state. Five thousand sick and wounded veterans of the World war, recuperat ing in hospitals in New Mexico, have trained the beans. The young men are terribly lonesome, Mr. Baca writes, and they will send a bean to every girl who will write a letter to them. The jumping beans are dark brown, somewhat larger than the ordinary bean. The animation of the vegetable is caused by a tiny worm that crawls into the bean and consumes the edible portion. After the worm is dead, the hean keeps on jumping. Presidents as Military Men. More than half of the presidents of the United States have held some mil itary rank, according to The American Legion Weekly. Of the "whole line of twenty-eight presidents sixteen were military men, and of the succession following the Civil war Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur and Harrison were generals; Roosevelt was a colonel and McKinley was a major.
