Chas Forde looked after bust
ness affairs in Omaha today.

VIM. Lennon, who has been
working for the +. e. and M. v.
Co., in this city for several weeks
past, being employed in the car
repair department., was the victim
of an accident that happened in
the yards this morning shortly af-
ter the commencement of work.
A car wheel fell upon his right
foot, painfully crushing all the
toes and otherwise brusing the
foot. He was taken to DR.. G. w.
Nc Gavren's office where his inju-
ries we're given immediate attsn-
ton. 1t will be some time before
the outcome of his injuries can be
determined, but at present the in
dications are that amputation will
not be necessary.

pie in it we're all kindly and that

pie in 1t were all kindly and that
counts for more than all your furnish
lings. After dinner we took q walk
over the city. 1t is u place of about
600 inhabitants and of course every
building is of stone. The streets aver.
aged about ten feet III width aud were
rs crooked as we'll tramped an
snake. You couldn't see more than
sixty feet ahead of you in one direc-
ton on account of the street running
so strangely. We were in time to at
tend church so IN We went and saw a
very beautiful service. They were
confirming about ten little girls and
the little church was all fitted out in
flowers. II is something wonderful
the devotion those people have for
their church. Some of them will be
lying fiat on their faces, stretched out
at full length, kissing the floor. Why
they think that will get them to hesv-
ell quicker l do not know, but do
know they are In earnest in 1t, so that
is all that should be considered.
After church we left tie city and
went out under some trees and slept
an hour or so. On the way back we
saw couple of women putting up
about the red-hottest lump of smuggling
I've ever seen. They mauled and
banged each other for keeps. Any
one of us would liked to have inter
fered, but as none OF us thought we
could whip the entire village we made
good and stayed on the outside of the
ropes. The boys went back to the
city and made some paintings and l
wandered around looking the town
over. 1t was interesting to say the
least.
They never have any wells in their
own houses but always go to some
fountain for it and it's a sight to
watch them put a heavy water pot on
their heads, that seems as though it
weighed q hundred pounds, but
noticed little streak of human ma
ture. A woman never went to the
we'll, filled her pail and went away.
She always waited until at least six
or seven more joined her, then they

poor things do. l am lead to believe
it would be the same Human nature
is human nature in Italy just the same
as it is in Iowa, and women will be
women.
The walk back was quite interesting
because we passed so many harvesting
camps who were leaving for the night,
and it was the same as in the morning
they were still singing.
1t was good and late when we got
back to Rome, and to say we were
three tired boys don't tell half the
story. II. FRANK HARRIS.

HERPICICEs MISSION.
New Remedy That Destroys
the DandruR Germs.

Nothing is more annoying to men
or women of middle age when they no.
tice that their hair is growing thinner,
when they must admit that the first
indications of baldheadedness have
commenced to appear. Many would
give thousand dollars and more for q
remedy with which to preserve their
natural head-dress. However, they
don't need to. Newbro's Herpicide re-
moves the effect of dandruff by de.
stroying the cause, the only dandrutf
cure that actually destroys the dand-
ruff germ.
