Rome, Jan. 6.LToday is the feast
of La Befana," which is merely a
corruption of "Epiphania" This is
one of the great Roman holidays. and,
as far as noisiness Is concerned, the

people, dressed in their best Sunday
clothes, march through the streets,
armed with tin horns, whistles, ratch-
cts and other instruments of torture.

the din increases from hour TO hour,
until 1t reaches its climax at the hour
OF midnight. 1t is especially a feast
for the poor and the wealthy Romans
and the thousands of foreigners visit

watching the noisy crowds from a
safe distance. The center Of the cele-

stalls have been erected, and where

,HONORS ARE MANY FOR MANNED HERO OF THE Rail-

Grand Island, Neb., Jan. "a trib,
ute to bravery was the letter received
by George Poell, the hero of the Pow
ell, Neb., life saving incident, from
the president of the United States, ad.
vising him that he had been awarded
the first medal of honor given under
the act of February 20. 1905.
The act provides for the warding
of bronze medals upon heroes who by
extreme daring endanger their own
lives in saving or endeavoring to save
lives from any railroad wreck, disas-
ter or grave accident, or in prevent
ing or endeavOring to prevent sucn
wreck, disaster or accident.
The daring feat accomplished by
Mr.. Poell was at Powell. Neb Mr..
Poell was fireman on st. joseph
& Grand Island railway train. AS his
train was entering Powell the fireman
saw little girl standing on the track.
Mr.. Poell crawled through the cab
and alongside the boiler of the NOV
ing engine and stationed himself on
the pilot, grabbing the child, who was
the daughter of Paul Sssary, of Pow
ell, sweeping her off the track and out
of narm.
In performing this heroic act, how
ever, Mr.. Poell slipped and was drag
ged a distance of 13O feet before the
engineer could bring the engine to a
stop, forty feet of which was over a
bridge. The brave fireman's right
leg was terribly torn, necessitating
amputation, and he was otherwise in
jured.
The letter from President Roose-
welt over his own signature, is as fol-
