MARK TWAIN IN ITALY.
He Will Not Return to His Country
for Two Years.
ANOTHER " INNOCENT ABROAD" {"
Literary Plans for the Future-Mr. Glenn
ens's Family Life. His Three Ac-
compiished Daughters and His Italian
Home Mark Is Growing Old.

From abroad there come from time e
time interesting tales of the literary anc
other doings Of ii illustr.ssimo Signol
Clemmenza, whom generation OF
laughter-loving Americans have known
as Mark Twain.
Mr. Clemens doesn't go to Europe as an
innocent abroad" this time. A good
many years have passed since that IA
nous trip was taken.
In that southwestern suburb Of Flor
ence, called the Settignavo, which is
largely residential--the Brooklyn of the
bigger Florence north OF the Arno-are
numberless quiet streets lined with villas
Many of them are OF recent date, built
since the days when Florence was made
the temporary capital of the Italian
Kingdom, and In the flush of the tri-
umph Of victory the descendants Of the
Caesars took to ferry building Walking
through the streets, or dawdling along
the shop fronts Of the Ponte Vecchio, a
man of medium height whose slender
build gives him the appearance of greater
stature, Is often seen. Usually he is ac-
eompanied by girl, sometimes by two.
sometimes three All the beggars, who
are particularly numerous in Florence be-
cause of the winter colony of Europeans
and Americans, know the griz.ed man
and his pretty daughters, and afford him
grim amusement sometimes by scramb-
ling and fighting for Yankee centesimi.
IL is in this quarter Of the city that the
Clemens family have taken up their home
for the winter in the Villa Viviani, one
OF those fiat-roofed affairs of impressive
size as 20 their parlors and incredible in
conveniences as to kitchens and domestic
offices, which are found in every Italian
suburb. The situation is superb Just
at this point the Arno turns almost north
ward in its westward flow to the sea, and
from hundred vantage points on the
hither bank one can look across the river
with its bustling bridges and over the
ducal palace and cathedral to the foothills
Of the Appennines and sometimes to their
snowy SUBMITS. That's as near as Mark
Twain cares to have the snow. As for
Florence itself, its climate is rendered |
mild by the protecting mountains. Milan, |
north Of the chain, is much less agree
able. For other attractions the villa has |
the Pitt palace near at hand, across the |
old Roman road, and the fields and vine
yards beyond the walls. The Boboli gar
tens nestle under the frowning walls Of
the San Giorgio fort, and the fine Trinity
bridge leads by short cut to the Duomo
and the crooked streets and narrow closes

Thern Are No MFisadv Stars.

The term fixed" as applied to the
stars, is now known to be a missioner,
for it has been proven that there is not
a stationary or ''dxed" star in the whole
heavens, and no such thing as absolute
rest in any of Gods machinery. 1t is
hardly necessary to say that all the stars
are constantly in motion, some of them
whizzing through space at the rate Of
100000 miles an hour, more than thrice
the velocity of our earth on its orbital
track. This constant motion brings about
some startling changes in our stellar re-
lations in the course of scores of centur-
les. But, however, the visual effect on

They Wear wells.

The oldest things to be seen in
the streets Of Colorado Springs are
horses decked with wells. We have
grown accustomed to the jaunty little
hats worn by many horses in our
towns to protect them from the heat
of the sun. We can even see an UNI
brella fastened over their heads with
out surprise, but veil gives to the
noble beast dandyish look that is
very droll. Some Of these wells, be-
longing to fine saddles, are mere
fringes of fine strips of leather that
hang before the eyes; others are pieces
of mosquito netting drawn tightly
back and fastened like lady's nose
veil; but the most stylish and alto
gether effective are Of netting drawn
over hoop which holds it away from
the eyes, yet completely protects
them. These exaggerated goggles
give the grayest horse a waggish look.
The wells are not worn for fashions
sake. They areindeed stern neces-
sity, and the comfort, if not even the
life of the horse, demands it. Colo
RADIO, with all its great attractions,
has one plague-the plague of flies.
Flies of all sizes, from the least up
to the enormous bluebottlc are every
where. Most parts of his body the
horse can himself protect if not de-
prived of his tail, but his eyes he
cannot, and these delicate organs are
special objects OF attack by the fly
tribe. 1t is the least man can do to
provide a protecting veil for his most
faithful servant.
