There is terrible poverty in Rome,
of which the beggars who await you at
every street corner are but too genuine
a sign The first gesture learned by the
children of poor people in Rome is to
hold out their hands for aims. They be
gin when they are SO young that they
can only totter. and they are still hold
ing out their hands for aims when they
can only totter because they are SO old.
Yet another sign of it 1 find in the
3. 900 cabmen of Rome, sitting hungrily
on their boxes. in their worm eaten fur
coats, too lazy to do anything but sit
there holding out their whips to solicit
every passer and unable to make de-
cent living even in place so frequent
ed by strangers and place where every
one drives But even here, in these beg
gars and cabmen, is there not certain
participation. at ali events, in that
open air life which is the felicity of
Rome? "Abbiamo pazienza, " say the
poor people and sit in the sun. Ar

Rotel Life In Washington.

At breakfast the other morning a
Washington young woman found lit
tie note at her plate saying that her
aunt had arrived from the east the night
before and was at well known hotel.
About o'cloclr she went to the hotel
indicated and asked the clerk whether
the newcomer had been down to break
fast yet. The clerk informed her that
he did not believe she had been down
ind offered to send up card.
''Oh, never mind doing tbatl'' she
Replied ''You just tell me the number
Of her room, and l will go up.
"No. =" promptly replied the clerk,
and the young woman took the elevator.
Upon arriving at the door of No. -.
instead of rapping. she softly put her
ear to the door and listened in order
that she might not disturb her aunt if
she were asleep. She heard no noise
and so took out one of her cards, and

Jane. she tied a little bunch of flowers
to it and left it on the knob, where it
would fall into the doorway when the
door was opened.
At 10 o'clock she came again. The
clerk had not seen her aunt and did not
believe that she had left her room. So,
after looking about the parlors in vain,
she went to the door of No. and soft
ly tapped.
"Who ss'IEf" came a gruff voice, and
at the same time a man opened the
door and stepped out into the hall

lation2 All, that shows you have not
been to California, that shows you have
not been to Oregon, that shows that
you have not been TO Texas. A fishing
smack today ON Lake Ontario might as
well be afraid of being crowded by
other shipping before night as for any
one of the next ten generations of
Americans to be afraid of being over
crowded by foreign populations in this
country. The one state of Texas is far
larger than all the Austrian empire,
yet the Austrian empire supports 35,-
900, 600 people. The one state of Texas
is larger than all France and France

state of Texas far surpasses in size the
Germanic empire. yet the Germanic
empire supports 41,00O, COO people. l

states is more population.
While some people may stand at the
gates of the city, saying, Stay backl"

nations, saying, Come, come, all ye

prejudices for foreign governments and

sick of the governments that have op-
pressed them and they want free Amer

hospitalities. They will add their in

mighty irrigation, all their tops shall
be covered, as they will be. with vine
yards and orchards and grainfields.
Then let the Bostons and the New Yorks
and the Charlestons of the Pacific coast
come to the marriage altar on one side,
and then let the Bostons and the New
Yorks and the Charlestons of the At
lantic coast come to the marriage altar
on the other side, and there between
them let this bride OF nations kneel,
and then if the organ of the loudest
thunders that ever shook the Sierra

foundations of the Alleghanies on ths

A Dazzling Army,

The hotel clerk tcld the following
story: Charles L. Davis, the actor, 9th
erwise known as calvin Joslin, was
in the lobby Of the st. Charles, in New
Orleans, when man from Chicago
stepped in front of him and looked over
his head in search of an acquaintance
that he supposed was in the hotel lobby.
Davis, mistaking the Chicago man s
purpose, remarked: "Ahl see you ad
mire my diamonds This one''-indicat-
ing the stone on his shirt bosom--"cost
me So, 600. These e''-showing his cuff
buttons -''cost ME So. 500 each, and my
wife has a trunkful up in our room. -
The Chicago man did not say much,
but that evening, by arrangement with
the head waiter. Davis was placed at
supper alone at a table where there
were several vacant chairs. Presently
several men, all commercial travellers,
entered the dining room, and each one
had large cut glass fruit dish fastened
on his breast, while glass prisms hung
pendent from each coat and vest button.
Soberly marching to Davis table, the
seven men took the vacant seats, and
the Chicago man entertained the actor
with: "Ah, 1 see you admire our dia-
monds. This one''-pointing to the
fruit dish-''cost me $1,000, 600.
These e''-indicating the prisms-'cost
$3.50, 900 each, and we have three car
loads like them at the depot waiting to
be side tracked. Davis not only chang

Death of Heroes In Fiction.

1t is astonishing what human in
terest the reading public takes in an
authors heroes and heroines. Mr..
Snowden Ward declares that when
Dickens was writing 1.-THE Old Curiosity
Shop he was overwhelmed with letters
from the most distinguished men and
women begging him not to kill Little
Nell They declared it would be too
cruel and waited on his verdict as an
anxious family on that of the physician.
Dickens did not care to do away with
her himself, but it was necessary that
he should do So Little Nell was char
acter with too little of the earth earthly
about her to assimilate with those
around her, no matter how we'll mean
ing they might have been. Her finer
feelings would have made her unhappy,
and the little country churchyard was
the best place for her.
And Thackeray. How he was i'm
plored not to kill Colonel Newcome
How he was rated for reducing so noble
man to poverty in his old age, while
the meaner mortals around him lived
and throve Kipling had to give Sec
ond version of his The Light That
Failed" in order TO please the public,
and who knows but Shakespeare was
chided for the unhappy taking off of
Lear and Cordelia2 But the public.

LOyable Little Pigs,

While the raising of swine is not ex-
actly poetical occupation, it is said to
be paying one and one that would be
practicable for woman to engage in.

says The Practical Farmer, sis breed

reputation that is enviable. She has
made thousands of dollars from the
business and is proud of and enjoys
her work Poultry and swine breeding
as part of the farm wife's business
ventures forms both happy and profit
able combination Even the word hap
py, she says, is well placed, for it is
happy work caring for and owning
handsome sows and pretty, thrifty pigs,
fine shotes and marketable hogs Little
pigs, she asserts. are as lovable as baby

MATRIMONIAL tNiGMAS.
Queer Relationships Resulting From
Some Recent Indiana Marriages.

Queer Relationships Resulting From
Some Recent Indiana Marriages.
There are more freak ma trimonial
complications ir Indiana to the square
mile than in any other section of tn
country. Cupid, in his operations
through Indiana, seems TO have been
afflicted with a most aggravated case of
blind staggers.
Justice W. W. Strader has just united
in marriage Russell Debusk and Miss
Ella Bevars, and William Bevars and
Miss Alpha Debusk. Miss Debusk is
the daughter of Russell Debusk, and
William Bevars is a brother of De-
busk's bride. A queer relationship is
the result. Bevars' own sister is natu-
rally his motherin-law, and his father
in-law is also his brother-in n-law De-
busk's daughter becomes his sister-in-
law. Mrs. Debusk is the stepmother
and sister-in-law of Mrs. Bevars. Mrs.
Eevars, being her fathers sister, is con-
sequently an aunt unto herself. while
Debusk, being his daughters brother,
must necessarily be his own father. In
case there is issue the child might be
its own grandparent or the grandparent
of its own father, while if this was car
ried out another generation it might
easily he deduced that the child was
never born.
But this case is hardly as remarkable
as one which has come to light at Dills
boro. David Gray married his grand
daughter by a former marriage. 1t
would appear that the ,Grays believe
in odd marriages, for Gray,s father mar
ried his stepdaughter. whose mother was
an aunt of the present. wife. Now the
question of relationship comes up.
These two queer matrimonial ventures
encircle themselves so often when the
pencil is applied to the problem that by
tracing it out it is very easy to figure
all parties off the earth
Over the line, in Ohio county, man
named Miller married widow who had
a grown up daughter. His father fell in
love with the stepdaughter. The father
became the sons son-in-law and the
stepdaughter became his mother Re-
Gently the son. wife had child. The
child was Miller's fathers brother-in-
law and Miller's own uncle, for he was
brother CT his stepdaughter. Miller's
fathers wife-his stepdaughter-also
had a son, who was, of course, Miller's
brother, and incidentally Miller's grand
child, for he was the son of Miller's
daughter. Thus Miller's own wife was
his mothers mother and Miller became
his wife's grandchild at the same time.
And then, TO top the whole thing off, as
the husband of his grandmother he was
his own grandfather. st. Louis Globe
