nest Sibley, Emmett Sibley and

sport down on Thompson's Is

for the beginning of the study

Having reached Thompson's

all the sights all around, we re-
solved to go farther down the
river where the Blanco and San
Marcos rivers meet, which is
about three miles down the river
from 'Thompson's Island, along
the way we got tired and hot, we
found several nice resting places
to sit down and rest, at one of
these places, Little One" as we
call Earnest, wanting to get a
drink of water and STOPPING

Atlast we reached the junction

he, at this time, was really in a
dangerous position, and couldn't
get back up neither down very
well without hurting himself, he,

question was, how are we going

The only thing to pe done was

A Sit-by-the-Fire.

You may talk about your country cousins who never get outside of their native countless" said the man who lives not far from St. Thomas church, but I know a man who lived in New York for forty years and hos never seen the Flat iron building Of course he couldn't have sen it during three-fourths of that time, however much he wanted to, but that isn't what I am talging about. He is a bookseller, with shop not three minutes from Broadway and not more than twen- ty minutes walk from Twenty-third street. No, he isn't blind. He simply hasn't seen the Flatiron building because his business hasn't taken him down that way, and he is not sufficiently curious to go down there merely to look at it. He has not been as far south as Forty second street in five years and he is not a dozen blocks away. He has his work to attend to during the day, and when night comes he goes home, which re- minds me that there are thousands of people in Manhattan who have never seen the Brooklyn bridge and more have never crossed it. and still more people wonder at the lack of civic pride among residents of New York city"

ITALY HAS CRAFT CASE
 IN PALACE OF JUSTICE

Rome, April 1S.-Italy has first-class graft scandle in the shape of the new Palace of Justice" in Rome, which is still unfinished after 19 years of build ing, and will cost five times the original estimate before it is completed. The orig inal plan was to complete the building in six years at a cost of $1,6OO,OOO, but 1t Will now cost $S,00O,000
 The building, which stands on the banks of the Tiber, close to the historic castle of San Angelo, is huge structure decor ated lavishly in execrable taste, and ut terly unsuited for the purpose for which it was intended. It has been proposed to use it as House of Parliament but the plan was abandoned because the building was found to contain no apartment of suitable size.
 Eleanor Duse, the great Italian actress, has accepted a play by writer who IS in jail awaiting trial for murder. The captive playwright is Guido Casal, who three years ago was arrested charged With the murder of a lawyer at Perugia, and who has been awaiting ever since the con- venience of Italys somewhat tardy jus tice.
 Casali has filled up his time with the literature, and has produced modern tragedy entitled "Ananke." The plot is founded on his own life-story, particu- larly the events that resulted in his ar rest.
