BY HENRY WOOD)
(Rome Correspondent of the United
Press)
Rome, May 13. Under the' centuries-old
traditions of - the Catholic
church, a pontiff who is believed to be
on his death bed can demand the per
sonal assistance of all the members
of the Sacred College. Dressed in
their eoreeous red robes of the rich
est silks and satins, and wearing dia
mond set rincrs and cross inlaid witn
vari-hued jewels of their princely of
fice, the cardinals must attend him
every moment if he asks it. they
trivfl him from time to time, as he
may desire it, the sacrament; . they
administer to him the other offices of
tk church for the sick and dying;
and if the pop. dies he is ushered in-
th next world with an impressive
pomp and solemn ceremony unequal
led at any royaj court m tne worm
today.
When, however, Pope Pius lay re
cently on what he himself believed to
Ko via Hth bed. these princes of the
church not only vainly warmed their
h.nla In the antichamber or tne papai
bedroom, but they stood aside to per
mit entrance to where they couw not
r at that time, two bent, plainly
dressed old peasant women, a young
woman as meanly clad, ana a counvr,
riMt. the sacristian of a village
church, the humblest ranking prelate
in the world. Today, also, wnen
some of these same princes were fin-
1 1
ally admitted to the presence oi me
convalescing pontiff of. the entire
Catholic world, he twitted them good
naturedly about their predicament.
"You see, your Eminences," he said
"I am still alive, and I'm sure you
will admit that it is due solely to the
fact that instead of taking advantage
of your kind offices on my sick bed, I
contented myself with the morn hum
ble offices of my dear sisters, my
niece and my nephew.
What Pope Pius said playfully, al
most banteringly, is, however, admit
ted by everyone connected with the
Vatican, to be the simple truth. But
for the loving care of the members
of his own peasant family, 1-ope mis,
in all probability, say the physicians,
would never have passed his receni
illness. On the other han.l, it is aa
sorted that if he could havo been left
e en more fully to their -a -e, at least
oi;e and possibly two of his nearly
futal relapses would never have oc
curred.
While in general, cr'J't is given to
all of these lowly relatives of the pope
for his recent recovery, it has sinci;
developed that this credit is due to
his 'avorite sister Anna, more than
to anv one of the others. It is she
who has taken the place in her broth
er's offections formerly occupied by
the elder sister. Rosa, w n dieu a few
months ago, and it was she alone of
ull 'he persons who jurrjundut him
-f.nm the pontifical pV-nnnus down
wno was able to exert over the pope
the one influence necc.s.ry to tide
His Holiness over the mire critical
periods of his illness whin he fretted
cr n;itantly.
Vne doctors were alnw: despairing
of overcoming the fa ;i! difficulty
when they finally perceived what the
cc'iiHe. affectionate care ot "bister
Am a, who is now 65, ould accom
plish when they saw tht il.tur medi
Ine and council hnd lu-'ed lender
the influence of her 'ks- affection
hr liompl ministra'.i hor inti
mate sisterly relations, th? pope for
j-ct his enforced idleness and vecov
eud
Wle from time t lin-v the fev
erish moments of desire for activity
reasserted themselves, arm when posi
live orders and Rdmonition proved of
no r.vail, it was only nexssary tor
f nna to place her han I gently on the
fere cud of the pope unl to say in
her fot- Venetian dhlee-.: "Bepi."
("Lipi" i the Italian ont ruction for
Cuiiei.t.e), "you do not look well to
day, dear. Don't you waiit to rest a
little instead of trying to work?
And under this gentle pursuasion
of the aged sister, the popo never
once failed to respond, and th? doc
tors, who usually took advantage of
the moment of rcstfulness, leff feel-
! .ort.in that their august patient
was receiving more good than they
could possibly give him.
With the recovery ;iow of His Holi
ness, Anna has shown the same -clf-effacement,
the same self-denial ain
self-sacrifice which has ever charac
terized her entire life which Bhe has
devoted solely to the care of her
brothers. ...
Now that her presence is no longer
necessary she has resumed the rou
tine that for several years has been
established for the sisters and niece
of the pope. Instead of the daily vis
its to the pontiff, Sister Anna and
the others call only once every week.
And though the visit 'means much to
her and much to the pope, they make
it as brief as possible in order that
their own private affection may not
take a moment that the jpope might
give to the work allotted to him, by
his great office.
