"Anything for George Granger?"
The question was asked of a postman
trudging a road in the Cumberland
mountains. The questioner was a quick
moving, sharp eyed man, who spoke in
a tone of authority. The postman
glanced through a package of letters
Le took from his bag, while the other
looked over his shoulder.
"There It is!" suddenly exclaimed
the stranger, and, making a dash,
knocked the batch out of the postman's
hand, scattering it on the ground.
Then, apologizing profusely, he helped
the postman to pick up the letters.
The postman continued his route and
later came upon a young woman stand
ing In the road, waiting for him.
"N'othln today, Mag," be said pleas
antly. ,
"Nothln fo Bob, shore?"
Alex McCurdy, the postman, looked
over his letters, but found none for
Bob Campbell.
"Cur'us," he muttered. "Seem to
me I remember startin' with one. I
wonder if that feller below" He
paused.
"JVbat feller?"
"Oh, I met a man that was terrible
anxious for his letter and he knocked
the lot on the ground. He was mighty
willin' to help me pick 'em up."
"Short thick man, black, etubhy
beard?" '
"Well, yes."
"Lord save us, it's him!"
"Who?"
"Stivers, a revenue man. They'll
ketch Tom with the goods on him.
They've been watchiu' him fo weeks,
and this feller who's got the letter has
been doin' everything he could to find
out whnr the still is. Tom wrote Bob
that he'd deliver fou' bar'ls o whisky
In the woods Jlst above Scott's mill to
night at 10 o'clock. Bob was to let
Tom know he'd got the word and the
tetter 'd be here by you on this trip."
The girl seemed crushed, and the
postman saw how he had been tricked.
That he was In the United States serv
tee did not for a moment outweigh his
mountaineer citizenship and his sym
pathy with the moonshiners. Besides,
Mag Campbell, the sister of the men iu
Ganger, was his sweetheartat least he
wanted her to be his sweetheart.
"Here, take keer of this, Mag," he
said, handing her his letter bag. "I'm
golu' to try to head him off."
"Ef you do III"
McCurdy heard the words and knew
what they meant, but didn't stop to
listen to their finishing. It was 5 o'clock
anil he had miles to go to reach the
rendezvous before the delivery of the
goods, which, for the lack of a revenue
stamp, would land the Campbell broth
ers in Jail. He knew every road, by
path trail in that region and by tak
ing the shortest cuts was able to 'reach
a point not far from the rendezvous a
Stories of Io XIIL
Joachim Peccl was of a most impressive
presence, even when a young man, and in
Ids old age, when pope, he seems to have
been positively awe inspiring. Most read
ers will remember the reports of the meet
ing of the pontiff and the young emperor
of Germany a few years aga The Teutonic
monarch, who had never before been
abashed, so far as the records go, was as
timid as a schoolboy before the serene,
white haired old man, who, though his rule
ws entirely spiritual, was the acknowl
edged head of the greatest division of the
Christian church. His personal appear
ance is thus described by one to whom au
audience was accorded in lS'.fiJ:
"He was tall and slender to attenuation.
His visage was an almost fleshless mask,
his complexion of a waxy pallor, but his
eyes were clear and luminous. He would
be ascetio of look under one aepect aud
penetratingly keen under another, but the
general one was of sweetness, and kindli
ness. Judging from his face and general
appearance, the first impression given by
him was that of a man largely endowed
with common sense. The full, broad brow
likewise indicated a bndiant intellect, and
' the passing smile which occasionally Bitted
across a counteuance worn as if with much
care spoke rather of melancholy than of
mirth." , , , . .
At an audience described by an American
who was present all fell upon their knees
when the none came in, but at a sign from
one of the monsignores, who acted as chain
berlain, all resumed their places. With a me
chanical air the pontiff, after bow.ng, began
talking with the man who sat aearest the
door. Individual intuition were followed
as to etiquette by all present When the
pope gave his hand, some raised it to the
forehead and others to the lips; others, fail
ing on their knees, kissed the cross on the
pontiff's foot One man shook the pope's
hand heartily. ,
There was no talking except between the
pope and those to whom he found time to
give attention. No one was passed entirely
unnoticed, and in one case in which a poor
woman cried with a sob in her voice, "O
holy father, give your blessing to our son!"
Leo's eyes were suffused with tears, aud he
bent over her and talked for some time.
One woman tried hard to impress him with
her own importance by declaring that the
cardinal in her town was a great friend of
hers, When tho round of the, room had
been completed, the pope stepped into the
ceuter of the apartment, and making the
sign of the cross In the air gave the apos
tolic blessing and retired. The audience
was at an end.
Leo was often - annoyed by anonymous
communications, and it was his custom to

"You'll nab no moonshiners tonight
And I'll trouble you for the letter."
Stivers was astonished. He could
not understand why a man in another
braueh of the service would prevent
him from accomplishing his object.
"This will cost you your position,"
he said.
"If it does it will be for lettiii' you
take the letter."
Stivers was a resolute man and not
to be balked without an effort Think
ing that McCurdy would not resist
the force of arms, he drew his revolver.
A ball whistled by his head. He fired,
and his shot was returned. Both men
were wounded. Stivers fell from his
eent into the road. McCurdy crawled
up to him, put his hand into his pocket
and took out the letter. After examin
ing the address in the moonlight and
seeing that it was what he wauted he
fainted.
All this occurred within sAund of
the rendezvous and at the moment the
Campbell brothers met to pas3 the
whisky. Hearing the shots, they went
to the spot where tn ?y were fired and
found Stivers and McCurdy, the lat
ter unconscious.
An hour later the brothers deposited
the wouxled Stivers where he lodged
and In the morning drove up to their
own cabin with McCurdy. When Mag
saw them coming with the man who
had saved them lying at length in the
wagon, she climbed in and folded him

Leo was noted for the attention he used
to give to missionary fathers who went to
Rome from their distant fields of labor to
obtain audience with the head of the
church. His information regarding the
status of the Catholic church iu the United
States was notably full and accurate. On
one day he gave audience to a bishop whose
diocese included a large portion of Alaska,
a priest whose work whs conducted under
the burning skies of Borneo and a native
Syrian, newly ordained as a priest, whose
field was located not far from the scenes of
Christ's life on earth. Of the details and
difficulties of the labors of each of these
three fathers the pope informed himself ac
curately, and to each he made suggestions
that were of much practical value.

Tho Iope'i Income.
Leo's fortune, left to him by Pope Pius
X, was not less than $45,000,000. Much of
this was used in purchasing Roman build
lug bonds and in property investments, be
cause the small rate of interest received
from the Rothschilds and Blount was not
sufficient The subsequent shrinkage in
value of these bonds reduced the aggregate
of this large sum very considerably.
The running income of the pope comes
from collections known as "Peter's pence,"
Both Pius IX and his successor proudly de
clined to receive a cent from the $0UO,tHX) of
'the annual revenue which the Italian cham
bers ordered by the law of guaranties to be
set aside for the pope, aud which since 1S70,
when the temporal power disappeared, has
accumulated m the Italian treasury.
Tho origin of the name "Peter's pence
is Britisher the voluntary tribute, which
the ancient kings of England raised for the
tinpacy was known under the name of te.
Peter's penning." Thecollection of Peter"
pence was not systematized until 1SG1, just
after the first dismemberment of the pontir
ical states, by which 13 out of the 20 prov
inces were taken from the pope. Previous
to that time the pontifical revenue had
amounted to nearly $14,000,000 annually.
Since 1870, when the temporal power disap
peared, Peter's pence has been the only
source of revenue, and the devotion of
Roman Catholics throughout the world has
always been strong enough to meet the ne
cessities of the ease about ?l,5uo,WW a year.
Though the pope is practically impris
oned within the walls of the Vatican, he is
obliged to provide from Peter's pence for the
universal administration of the churches.
He has to maintain nuncios in different
tapitals of the old and new world, to corre-
tpond with more than 1,000 episcopal sees
iu every part of the world, to support mis
sionary work abroad, to maintain at Rome
the congregation and schools and ecclesias
tical tribunals, to pay the cardinals' sal
aries and those of the dignitaries aud other
employees of the pontifical guard, and te
keep in order the sacred churches, lrke St.
Peter's and St. Mary Major's, and to pre
serve intact and even improve the libraries
and museums of the Vatican.
It is easily understood from this why Leo
was personally so economical.- Although
the gross sum of Peter's pence is large, it is
only by the most systematic expenditure
thereof that it is made to meet current ex
penses. Long before his death Leo noti
fied his relatives that nothing should go to
them out of the innumerable and precious
gifts sent to him from every part of the
world on the occasion of his jubilee of lws.
The only advantage he conferred upon any
of his relatives so far as reported was the
title of count upon his nephews, which
helped them somewhat m contracting ad
vantageous marriages.
Of the total amount of Peter's pence,
two-thirds have come from France of late
rears. Italy has not produced mora than
15,000 lire (?3,000). The offering is free and
anonymous everywhere. Collections only
take "place twice every year in the churches.
On some occasions a supplement of revenue
comes to the pope as, for instance, on one
1st of January, when he officiated at what
was called his "Golden Mass," he received
more than $iW0,000 in fees.

As a boy, tradition describes Leo
XIII. as a plump faced, pretty child,
with a good complexion and a voice so
musical as to earn for him the title of
"Little Nightingale." Reading he had
learned from on o!3 aunt; writin
he
had taught himself by copying type,
says the Tittsburg Dispatch.
Out of his recollections of the "Iliad"
he constructed a kind of play composed
of 6ccnes tacked together, with coup
lets of his own, nnd this was acted by
hia schoolfellows, the gardener being
cast for the part of AJa.
Making verse composition has been
a pastime with L-o XIII. All his por
traits represent him wearing a sunny
Bmilc, nnd it was the same spirit that
animated most of his poetry.
It was two years later than the time
when he wrote his ode on death that
he wrote a long poem on diet, in which
he reproved gluttony. It contained not
less than eighty stanzas, and here is a
free prose translation of a few of them;
'Tay attention before all to clean

"Obtain from healthy grain well

Like many another good man, not all
of Loo's relatives reflected credit upon
the Peccl family. There was ot least
one black sheep in tha- person oi a
nephew a reckless gamester, who lost
his own and other people's money at
gambling and contracted heavy debts,
raising a very offensive scandal. The
pope footed the bills for the sake of his
family and sent the? scapegrace and his
wife to Cuba. A few years ago the
young man begged pltcously for per
mission to return, making all sorts of
promises of reform; But Leo knew this
kinsman's weakness and sternly re
fused. A well known continental skeptic
once had nn audience with Pope Leo at
the Vatican.
"It Is not my place to come between
you and your God," said the pope to
his visitor. "I cannot urge you to eeo
hiru as I see him. That rests with
your own good judgment and the
promptings of your intelligence."
"I now almost wish I could believe
In Christianity,", remarked the skeptic.
In telling of the conversation, "that I
might become a Catholic."
Three years ago the Vatican soldiery
rendered a real service to Leo XIII. by
capturing an anarchist who had con
cealed himself in the shrubbery of the
Vatican garden. The pope was kept in

lie admitted that he was laying in
wait to attack the pontiff and de
nounced the holy father as a "spir
itual giant keeping millions of men in
thraldom." The prisoner was turned
over to the Italian authorities.
Leo has kept a careful watch over
his garden, his vineyard and his dairy.
The older he grew the more economical
he became in husbanding the Vatican's
Buinll material resources. The knowl
edge of vine growing acquired in his
youth he put to good use in the Vatican
grounds.
While walking through the garden
one day early in his reign he saw a
servant gathering oranges and lemons
and asked him what he was going to
do with the fruit.
"Distribute them among cardinals
and high prelates," was the reply.
"That Is the traditional custom of the
Vatican."
"Indeed!" said the new pope. "Then
It shall be the custom no longer."
The next day lie issued an order that
in the absence of special commands
the Vatican fruit should be sold, and
it has been sold ever since.
The wine that supplies the papal ta
ble la pressed from grapes grown from
vines nlanted bv Leo himself. Milk is
furnished bv cows and goats on the
Vatican grounds.
An enterprising firm once offered the
pope a fabulous sum for the right to
put the Vatican wine on the market as
"Leonine wine." The offer was indig
nantly refused. Leo was determined
not to become known as "the commer-
claJ pope."
The and Hiamart U.
Tho work act um
Germanv, because
Misled by Io XIII
of the enormous A
cullies he was forced to face, illustrated
better his exceeding ability a a diplomat
than any other during his reign. The op
position to the Cat holies as formulated in
the celebrated Falk laws, so called from
the name of Dr. Falk, their author, was the
result of two movements antagonistic to
each other, yet working to a common end.
When Pius IX called the council which put
forth the dogma of Infallibility, Princ
Chlodwi Ilohunlohe and Dr. Joseph Igua
this von Dollincer formed a party among
the Bavarian Catholics In opposition,which
eventually became that section known as
Old Catholics, The distinguishing plank
in their platform, to use a phrae which
thoroughly expresses the idea sought to be
conveyed, was a denial of this dogma.
In point of fact this denial was really an
expression of opposition to the claim of tne
papacy to temporal power. It was the de
sire of Dr. Dollinger, who was the brains of
the whole movement, that the pope should
become the spiritual sovereign of the Cath
olic world, aud that he should, so to speak,
modernize the theory of the papacy in ac
cordance with tho change brought about by
the greater freedom of the people. On the
other hand, the Ultramontane party be
hoved it was right for the papacy to lusis-t
more strongly than ever on all powers ever
held by it. As we all know, the Ultramon
tane councils prevailed, and the Old Catho
lics were thrown into direct opposition.
Count von Bismarck, in his desire to es
tablish an imperial government in Ger
many with as much absolute power as he
dared give to it, found himself face to face
with the movement goinpc on in men's
minds in the direction of greater freedom.
He sought aud found in the Catholic church
that sop which he might throw to the
growling Cerberus of the people in order to
divert their mimls from what was being
done. He took advantage of the Old Cath
olic movement to increase the opposition
to the papacy, and then to the Falk laws
sacrificed the interests of the Catholics who
were loyal to the pope. It was sklllf ully
done, and Pious IX was powerless.
When Leo XIII was elected, he found
himsilf face to face with the Falk laws,
then in full force. But the oppression of
the Catholics la Germany had weakened
the hold of all religious bodies on the peo
ple, and this tn turn had given strength to
the propaganda of the socialists.
Leo XIII saw his opportunity and wrote
his encyclical letter on socialism. Prince !
Bismarck found an ally where he least ex
pected one. He was unable to refuse the ,
help offered, and once more theWncechan-!
cellor and the papacy were working side by I
side. From this as a starting point Leo !
XIII, as the months rolled by, made ad
vance after advance until Prince Bismarck, j
protesting he would not "go to Canossa,"
found himself lefore the castle gates. The I
Falk laws were abrogated, bit by bit, until
they disappeared, and the triumph of Leo's j
diplomacy was complete.
Pope Leo's encyclical of 1891, in which he
took up the socialism of the day in Amer
ica, his action in the case of Dr. McGlynn
of New York and the appointment of Car
dinal Satolli to the post of papal delegate
fco America are too well remembered to
call for more tliun a pasing mention.
Pope Leo celebrated two jubilees, the
first in 1SS8 in commemoration of the EOth
anniversary of his elevatlou to the priest
hood, and" tile socond in 1S3 on ths 80th an

Leo's Dally Life.
Pone Leo XIII passed the most of his
time, while head of the church, in the Vatl
can, the official residence of the pontiff. In
fact, it Used to be said that he never left the
Vatican for fear of being Jeered by the
Roman populace. It is, however, believed
by many that he drove about the streets by
night in a closed carriage A few years
ijo, wben his brother was dying In the
PaloiiM Barborinl, the pope went to see
him.
The Vatican Is an enormous structure.
It is said to contain 4,000 rooms. Its mu
seum is one of the most celebrated in the
world. It contains the finest Btatuary,
greatest paintings and the most valuable
books, both printed and tn manuscript,
that its occupants have been able to collect,
and many of them are freely shown to visit
ors. Leo's sleeping room was a large, bare
apartment, with a high ceiling and tiled
floor, un vexed by covering of any kind in
the summer. Its sole contents are said to
have been a small iron bedstead, a little
table, a writiDg desk, a prtedieux and a few
chairs. In winter time two or three rugs
were laid on the stone floor, and the bed
stead was shut oil from the rent of the
room by a curtain.
Leo rose every morning at about 6 o'clock.
and in the dress of an ordinary priest said
mass in his private chapel at 7. When this
mass was finished, another was said by a
minor ecclesiastic, to which the pope lis
tened while kneeling These devotions
lasted until 8 or W o'clock, when he partook

The direct causes appear to be heat,
dust and the pollen of flowers. Although
hay fever may occur at any season of the
year. It is most common and severe in
August, and preventive treatment should
be adopted some weeks before the time
the disease Is due.
Prior to the dlsoovery of the remaikable
effects following the use of IJyomei, the
only treatment that gave relief to hay
fever sufferers was change of climate.
The use of llyomei enables any oiTb to
breathe air at home which is like that of
the Adirondack?, the White Mountains or
other health resorts where healing balsams
fill the air with nature's germ-destroyer,
ozone.
Those who are gubjeet to hay fever
should begin the use of Ilyoniei at onoe
and thus prevent the disease. An ounce
of prevention is worth more than a pound
of cure in the treatment of hay fever.
liickert & Wells have seen the good
effects following the use of Ilyomel in all
diseases of the respiratory organs and
they are willing to sell Ilyomel to any hay
fever sufferer with the understanding that
if it does not give satisfaction the treat
ment will cost nothing.
tlon or ometais and guests. This lasted
until 2, when dinner was served accord
ing to he old Iloman custom. This re
past was not elaborate. It consisted of
soup, boiled beef and vegetables, occasion- .
ally a roast, a glass ot Burgundy and some
times a dessert of fruit
Traditional etiquette requires that when
In Rome the pope shall eat alone, so Leo
never had guests at his table in the Vati
can. After dinner he slept for a short time,
and later, if the weather was fair, until his
strength failed him, he used to walk In his
garden. During his later years he was
either carried In a sedan chair or driven in
a carriage. One of his guards always at
tended him, walking a few steps in the '
rear. Frequently a bishop or some impor
tant person with whom the pope wished to
confer walked beside the chair or occupied
a seat In the carriage. When the walk was
over, such other business as remained un
done was attended to. At 8 o'clock he re
ceived the newspapers, reading those print
ed in French and Italian himself, while
those printed in ot her languages were trans
lated to him. At 11:30 he performed hia de
votions. At 10 he took Biipper, consisting
of soup and an egg, sumo salad and a little
red wine Then be withdrew to his private
room for the night.
During Lent his life was much niore se
vere than at ordinary times. He used to
rise at 4 and say m ass at (!. Before beginning
this service he listened to a sermon by a'
Capuchin monk. The discourse invarhibly
closed with the words "et redde spiritua."
As they were uttered the pope left the
apostolic chair, supported by two cardinals,
and kneeling upon the lowest step of the
altar repeated three times the last words of
the monk. Then, robed tn bis violet vest
ments, he said mass.
On Good Friday Leo used to pass almost
the entire day in the church, and on that
day he partook of only one meal, at 13
o'clock noon, Easter Sunday was the great
day of the year. Tb services in St. Peter's
were always very imposiug, and most of the
ecclesiastical dignitaries la Rome had audi
ence with the pontiff during the day. If
there was any ill feeling between any of
them Leo, used to make it a point to strive
to heal the breach, and on one occasion,
when two cardinals had declined to speak
with each other for some time, he brought
them together in a most characteristic
manner, thereby undoubtedly averting a
serious church scandal.
The pope was very economical in his per
sonal expenses. Of his table it has been
said that it did not cost more than fj or $3
a wetok. '
A Kew Mosquito.
Residents of Montclair, X. J., and
Other capitals of mosquitodom were
recently agitated by the announcement
that State Entomologist John It. Smith
of New Jersey had discovered a hither
to unknown mosquito, says the New
York American. It is described as
small, but ten times more sanguinary
than the ordinary bloodsucker, and Is
distinguished by antenna that curve
backward. Instead of a pair of wings
this insect is triple winged on each
side and does not sing when busy, as do
most of the tribe. This formidable
enemy of man is said to have been
cradled in the Iloboken marshes, but
o have wandered far and wide.
