Crot* Ayatn in Coftmeufn
Restoration of ttte cross to the cen
ter of tite Roman Cotosseum has caused
much satisfaction to Catholics. More
than fifty years ago, in the burst of
antt-ciericai excitement which fotiowed
ttte entry of the Itaiian government in
to Rome, this cross was removed. Re
centty Minister of Pubiic instruction
Fedete ordered that it he replaced. He
pttbiiciy regretted that it itad ever been
removed. For centuries the church
has regarded the Cotosseum as hoiy
ground because of the many hundreds
of Christian martyrs who perished
there for their faitii. The popes have
been zeaious in preventing its coiiapse
and in restoring portions of it to their
origins) condition. Xow the Colosseum
is a favorite resort of Romans on
mooniight nights, when the ancient the
aterofhiood eciioes with gracious
songs uttdci'oruscs.

EeeryfMng' ^?nnntng
One of ttn- funniest ttdngs that ever
came up in Judge SummerHetd's court
was a suit for the annulment, of a
marriage, institute^ by an irate fattier.
It seems that the young eoupte.
though their intentions had been sus
pected and they had been cioseiv
scat s ited, had managed to etude the
vigilance of their eiders in a manner
worthy of record. .
"Yes, sir," cried the father, in giv
ing his testimony. "The young scaia

and white I was hoidin' my finger over

Gen!/e Hint
Booth Tarkington was talking about
a proiiflc novelist.
"He turns out tritogies and psycho
analysis romances and new thought
taies by the score," Mr. Tarkington
said, "hut the more he turns out the
teas he seiis.
" 'I think I']] go to the South seas
or somewhere.' he said in a discour
aged voice the other day to a critic.
'Yes, I think I'ii go off and rest up for
a year.'
" 'I suppose,' said the critic poiite
iy—'I suppose your public is beginning
to suffer from writer's cramp, eh?"'
Poor CAiM
A woman in Birmingham, of great
social aspirations, hut not lavish of
her money in attaining her ends, was
accustomed to buy tlowers for her
functions from an oid dame with a
stand on the corner.
f'n one occasion the socia) aspirant
said: "I wants a iarge quantity of
dowers from yo' next week, fo' ntah
daughter's comin'out."
"Ail rigid," replied the oid woman.
"To' is gwine to git de very best I
