the minister of foreign affairs, declared
thdt neither the Italian government nor
Italian diplomats were guilty of any negli-
Sence in their efforts to secure the triumph
OF Justice, but. owing to the reticence of
witnesses it had been impossible to iden-
ufy the culprits, and the grand Jury had
declared, according to the usual formula,
that the lynching i'm question had occurred
by "the will of God" This statement from
SiSnor Prinetti caused a sensation. Con-
tinuing, the foreign minister said that the
italian government would continue to pro-
test, IN the hope of obtaining SatiSfac-
ton against a state of affairs which con-
stituted an offense against international
treaties. Ihe government had represented
what a serious thing it was, said Signor
Prlnett, that the government of the United
States should declare itself unable to
fulfill its engagements in conformity with
the international treaties. To this repre-
sentation the American government had
not replied in writing. but it had admitted
that the Italian claims were well founded
and had promised carefully TO consider the
question. Minister Prinetti said he agreed
with Baron Fava I'm his expressed opinion
that indemnity for the lives of Italians who
had been lynched should not be refused.
but that he considered indemnities ought
not to be regarded as a Set-off to the crimes
committed. At the same time. continued
the speaker, II was impossible to compel
the families of the victims 10 renounce the
lndemnities spontaneously offered them.
The Italian government. continued the
Foreign minister, would ask for no indemni-
ties as the price of the blood Of its citizens.
but ii would not object if indemnities were
given TO the relatives of the deceased. The
Italian government acted upon the prin-
ciple, concluded SignOr Prinetti, that italy
should insure her subjects abroad with an
effective but not arrogant protection. which
was inspired by the sentiments, civilization.
llegahty and moderation which she had
hitherto exhibited in her relations with
foreign states. in which her sons had met
with open and fruitful hospitality.

Secretary Wilson of Opinion that Ii

Packers VIII Thus BE Saved.

WASHINGTON. Dec. D.-Secretary Will
son to-day stated that discontinuance Of
the microscopic inspection Of meats sent
abroad would mean the entire suspension
of exports and loss OF the S20.000,000 worth
of meats annually sold TO Germany. The
lack OF funds. he explained, was due 10
the increased work OF the past year and
the two weeks leave OF absence granted
each employe of the bureau outside of this
city, which necessitated the employment Of
additional men. Secretary Wilson said he
has asked Congress TO make part of the
appropriation for the coming year imme-
diately available, and that he has no doubt
Congress will grant this authority, as it
has done so frequently in previous years.
II have no doubt" he added, that the
microscOpical inspection will proceed, not
withstanding the notice given the packing
interests through the Bureau of Animal
Industry"

= AcK WAR1SG was bashful, but
ri it was question if he was any
~ more bashful than Ethel Talcott.
They could not speak to each other ON
even the most trivial subjects without
stammering and blushing, but Jack
persisted in calling, despite the appar-
ent discomfort his visits caused both.
Everybody could see that he was des-
perately in love, and it was saying
among their friends that If Jack could
ever summon up the courage to pro-
pose, Ethel would be too bashful to re-
fuse him, whether she loved him or not.
She had just come out at the beginning
Of the season, about the same time that
Jack who had just graduated from col
lege and entered his fathers business,
OF which he was the prospective heir,
first began to attract the attention Of
designing mothers and attractive
daughters. Perhaps it was while avoid
ing them that he met Ethel, who had
found that there are ways of keeping
out of sight when 4 ballroom was
crowded with other girls who We're en-
joying themselves. Anyway, some
common chord Of sympathy made them
embarrassed friends from their first
meeting.
Although Jack was bashful, he called
on Ethel as often as he dared, but in
spite of all resolution to overcome his
diffidence he made little progress with
his suit. They could get along fairly
we'll when there were others in the
room with them, but when left to them
selves they suffered. Unlike most
young people in similar case, they
courted rather than avoided the COM
pany of Ethers little brother, Gus, and
Jack soon became such friends with
him that he felt called upon to remem-
Der his birthday. This he did by send
ing him an elaborate box of building
blocks, which Gus dragged into the
Darlor on the occasion of his next visit,
and insisted that the donor teach him
how to build with them.
"What shall build?" Jack asked.
Build me big hotel like the one
Ethel and were at last summer"
Jack obediently drew his chair to the
middle Of the room and began on a
suitable design. But he soon found
that building while sitting ON a chair
was difficult, and as Gus was sprawled
comfortably on the floor watching the
work, he presently Slipped down be.

about building blocks that although
they are always bought for children

BUFFALOEs ALMOST EXTINCT.

Little More Than Thousand of These
Animals in Existence.
The American buffalo is fast disap-
pearing from the earth. 1t is estimated
that there are now remaining alive in
the world only 1924 Of these noble
beasts, 684 Of which are in captivity.
But it is not possible to be exact in
such statement, inasmuch as the wild
survivors cannot be rounded up and
counted. In the densely wooded re-
gions between the Saskatchewan and
Peace Rivers, in British Columbia, are
several hundred buffalo; there are
twenty or so perhaps in the desert Pan
handle region of Northwest Texas, and
in the Yellowstone National Park there
are fifty or sixty more, it is believed.
There are none at liberty anywhere
else.
These few remaining wild bison are
being steadily reduced in number. In
British Columbia they are being killed
on gradually by the Indians, while
those in the Yellowstone Park are pot
ted by poachers whenever the chance
offers. A mounted head of one of these
animals is to-day worth from $3.50 to
5000 and skin brings a good price.
Ten years ago there were nearly 400
buffalo in the park, and it Is thought
that the survivors can be preserved

Who'll tread yon church with willing

And childhood with it's brow Of truth,
The rich and poor on land. on sea.
Where will the mighty millions be,

We all within our graves shall sleep,
A hundred years to come:
No living soul for us will weep,

And others then our streets will FILL;
And other birds will sing as gay,
And bright the sunshine as to-day,
