"Well you'll hear that pretty s i° D u i ii® °* 10 bargain. But don t tell it till you are dead suro that it s so. lhere is another little piece of news that you'll be glad to got. Just as soon as I am elected Pope that massacre is, going to begin which Leo or-aez-ecjj you know, but which tho faithful hadn t the backbone to carry out. Pert ■i l *'. wa ? t ' lo heroism of tlio Mayor ot ioledo that prevented it. But when get there it's going through, sure pop. \\ e have engaged the public gar(lens at U ashiiigton down by the moiiument, and wo arc--.going to make a pilo or corpses of Protestant ministers, in the form of a pyramid, higher than the top ol that nionnnient. It' will take, according to my figures, 843,927 ministers to make this heap. There are not enough now in this country, but several new theological seminaries will be started at once (by tho Josuits, of course) to furnish tho supply. We'vo got the railroads chartered to haul 'em trom-all parts of tho country. Aren't you a minister yourself? Well, you'll be m it. I'll try to keep a place near the top for you. Apex reserved for tormer admirers. -And when the pilo is complete, I'm going to mount to tho top of it and sit there and howl!
