An "open space that has European
reputation has long been threatened

has he been more active lately, or more
ferocious, than in Rome. He found
the old city marble and he is rapidly

Rome will remember the beautiful
grounds of the Villa Borghese, just out
side the city walls, high upon the Pin
clan hill. Thence you look down on the
city stretching southwark beyond you,

Peters. -:
In the healthiest quarter of Rome, this
site was the very opportunity of the
speculative builder, if chance were to
cast it into the market. And of this
there has lately been an alarming, prob
ability. The Borghese family were no
longer the inheritors of their old opu-
lcnce. Year by year the quantity laid
out grounds were falling into neglect
and the artificial ruins were crumbling
in reritable decay. Once the Casino
held a collection Of antique sculpture SO
rare that Napoleon carried them Oft
to Paris, and the indemnity promised to
Prince Borghese of that day-15,0 100000
francs--was never paid. But the pedes
tails were not left unoccupied. and to this
day the Casino is one of the sights of
Rome.
The grounds themselves are in a way

a Young soldier.

The youngest soldier in the army
that went to Cuba was boy fourteen
years old. His father was bugler in
one OF the volunteer regiments en-
camped at Tampa. He followed the
regiment to Tampa and was ordered
home. He did not go home, and when
the regiment was ordered aboard the
transports to go to Cuba he slowed
himself away until they were day out
to sea There was nothing for the COM
manding officer to do but to take the
boy with him to Cuba, where he was
made a water-boy. During the battle
of San Juan Hill the boy carried water
to the men. and did all that he could
during the battle. He was returned on
one of the first transports. but when he
reached New York he had no money to
pay his railroad fare to his home at
Columbus. Ohio. The government on
ctals conld not pay his transportation.
but letter was given him asking rail-
way officers to help him home. When

This is an era OF heroes. We are

Hobson and Blue and crowning them
with immortal memories. And this is
right. The appreciation OF heroes pro-
duces heroes. Men do not mind risk

to recognize heroes is while they live.
not after they are dead. Let us re-
