Show The Pope's Little Joke. The Vatican is chuckling over a little lit-tle jest by the pope. His holiness has a friend In Venice who is sick. During the week he received in audience a Jewish gentleman who is also a friend of the invalid. In bidding his visitor farewell the pope said: "If you see our friend tell him I send him my apostolic blessing." "But your holiness," objected the I other, "I am a Jew." "That does not matter," retorted the pope, "the goods are all right, though the packing may be bad." |
