"He was worried by dreams, however,

this did not satisfy him. He asked a hun

Archbishop Murphy of Tasmania, the
record prelate who has just entered on bis
ninety-third year, is a humorist, and the
fact may account In some measure for bis
remarkable longevity. He was held ln
high esteem by the late Pope Leo XIII.
There was a bond of affinity between them,
as both received their mitres from Gregory
XVI almost simultaneously. At the age
of 79 Dr. Murphy visited Rome, and at the
close of a cordial audience Pope Leo re
marked, "Well my dear brother, I suppose
this Is our last meeting In this world." But
five years later Dr. Murphy thought he
would have one more run around the
globe, and presented himself at the Vati
can as pert and smiling as of yore. He
reminded Pope Leo of his pessimistic
prophesy, and slyly added: "So you see
you are not Infallible after all." This Is
said to have been one of the few occasions
on which Pope Leo laughed heartily.
NtlMU Morris la a ew Llghtr
In Santa Barbara, where he spent the
greater part of the last three winters, re

of Nelson Morris probably is felt as keenly
as It is in the mansions of the beef barons

lover of little children.
Once as jolly as a boy himself, the stout,
sturdy little man was shattered by the
stock yards' revelations. Under the
avalanche of charges accusing him and
the rest of the packers of monstrous in
humanity, he became old and broken. Many
toduy will believe that his death was caused
by the Incessantly reiterated assertion that
upon him lay the responsibility for the
lives of thousands of little ones claimed
by poisons used in his canneries. Fre
quently during his last visit to the coast
he would call a child to his side, pat Its
head and ln a pitifully pleading tone auk:
"Would I kill babies like this?"
Morris never lost Interest ln all the chil

with him, and the silver-haired old couple
were the center of a noisy, laughing group
ot boys and girls whenever they appeared
ln the lobby of the fashionable hotel where
they lived. Nor was it only the spoiled
pets of wealthy parents that drew his at

Next to children he liked young married
folk best, because they were the mothers
and fathers of the little ones, he said. One
day he met a young tourist who, with his
family, had Just arrived ln Santa Barbara.
He casually remarked that he had a bright
youngster 1 year old. The Old millionaire
became interested at once, and when he
heard that the child was slightly III from
teething the man accused of working chil
dren to death and poisoning others became
all sympathy. He ordered his own doctor,
who had come out from Chicago, to go
see the child an soothe Its fretting. Then
every day afterward little trinkets and
baubles that delight a child of 1 year went
around to where the young couple lived.
That young man was a lusty hater of the
price-boosting Beef trust, but It is safe to
say that after that he excepted Nelson
Morris.
