deformity in It's worst shape. Then
perhaps would come some one with
pictures or souvenirs to sell. Next "a
pretty girl who would walk beside our
carriage and sing Italian songs ia a
really artistic manner. The Italians
are all naturally musical, especially
when they confine themselves to their
own music. Occasionally they attempt
national airs OF different country, but
the result is usually disastrous to the
singer.
Then for variety boy would turn
a few "cartwheels" by the side OF our
carriage and hold up his hat for money
or a little girl would hold up few
flowers and insist that they were Every
fine" a phrase Italians all use when
importuning Americans. Then per-
haps some one would come to our car
riage with wine for sale, or few cher
ries and other kinds OF fruit. We
would meet two or three girls with
castanets aud tamborine who would
dance or give short sketches from
Italian operas, which they could DO
very creditably even under such diff
culties. At one time during the drive
an entire orchestra of six pieces
marched along with us for quite dis
lance playing American airs in man
ner that was quite painful; nor would
they stop till we threatened to throw
stones at them. But these were only
incidents, the guides and attendants
took most OF our attention. They take
every advantage they can.
About half way up the volcano we
left our carriage and continued the as
cent by the wire-rope-railway, which
is practically an elevator as the ascent
is so steep. We were able to get way
up to the top and look down into the
mouth of the crater. 1t was a very in
teresting trip all around. Old Vesu-
vius with its column of smoke rising
slowly from its summit is a very docile
looking volcano and it seems hard to
realize that, at its will, it can destroy
whole cities and lay the land waste for
miles around. Yet it was just as inof'
fensive looking in 70 A. D., when ii
buried Pompeii and Herculaneum.
From Naples we go To Florence and
Venice and then up into Switzerland.
We expect to be out of the hands OF
these robbers and in the hands of our

Warn You Against Dreadfuy
You Can be Cured by Promptly Using DR.. Chase's
LiverP

Pain is natures signal whereby she warns
man of approaching danger. Few diseases
are so dreadfully fatal as disorders Of the
kidneys and few are accompanied by more
severe pains and discomforts.
One of the most common symptoms of
kidney disease is the smarting, scalding sem
sation when passing water which is likely to
come very frequently and at nconvenient
times. Then there is the dull, heavy aching
in the small of the back and down the limbs.
When these pains are accompanied by
deposits in the urine after it has stood for
twenty-four hours you may be sure that you
are a victim of kidney disease and should not
lose a single day in securing the worlds
greatest kidney cure-Dr. Chase's Kidney
Liver Pills.
Take one pill at a dose. and in surpris-
ingly short time you will be far on the road
to recovery, for DIR. Chase's Kidney. Liver
Pills act directly and promptly on the Kidneys,
and are certain 70 prove of great benefit to
