TERROR FOREVER

"A people with gay hearts but
faces marked by the dreadful
events of centuries, are the Sicil-
aahs. m
Dark Bowed, sad visaged peas
ants tell the story of thousands of
wears of war. of pestilence, of hor-
ror that comes no man knows when
or where from. A people living in
the eye of earth's most dreadful
volcano, Etna; walking on a crust
that has always trembled; swept
by the plague perennially and the
playthings of war since history be-
gan, the mark Of suffering comes
with the babes birth and never
passes until the tomb hides it.
The Sicilians and their brothers,
the Calabrians, across the straits
of Messina in Italy, can hardly be
blamed then If they try to shake
off the hereditary gloom by fire.

holidays enliven the spirits of a

Multi-colored anti faded into a

garb of the Sicilian is never to be

heat, not from the sun but from
the earth. Terrible rumblings ter
rify the people. Quaking with fear,
men, women and children form pro-
cessions, make the sign Of the
cross and fall to their knees in the
streets. The church doors are
thrown open and people rush there.
Most Sicilian peasants are the
sons. or, grandsons of the famous
banditti of the last century. In
those times the honest shepherd
tending his flocks was the molly
coddle of his neighbOrhood. The
man held in most esteem was the
picturesquely dressed bandit. who
robbed the rich and held in ransom
the unwary traveller. The tourist
who took a notion to view the seem
cry of the Sicilian hills generally
saw other things. His relatives
had to put up stiff ransom, or,
failing, the tourist either found a
grave in the hills, or returned
minus his nose or ears.
The days of this unrestrained
lawfessness were brought to an
end several decades ago by the in
reference of the Italian govern
ment which sent soldiers to sup
press the banditti. In the name
of law and order the HOS: shocking
brutalities were visited upon out
laws and unoffending peasantry
alike.
Men in the fields and highways
were shot down and mutilated with
as little regard as though they had
been beasts of prey. The hunted
banditti, crazed by these cruelties,
retaliated with ferocity whenever
occasion presented itself.
The slow progress of modern civ.
ilization and education among the
Pleasantly has had one peculiar ef
feet upon up growing generations
Children who instinctively loved
and revered their fathers for a
long time resented the education
which taught them that their pater
nal heroes were bad characters
whose example should not be fol
lowed.
Of late years the beckoning
glamor of the new world has awak
ened spirit of unrest among
southern Italians and Sicilians. Nc
other portion of Italy gives up SC
large percentage of it's population
to the emigrant ships. Not alone
in the ports and large villages is
the fever of emigration so strongly
felt, but also in the little settle
ments of the interior. The cafes
are always full of eager. gesticu
lating men talking of the new
world.
