In every way possible the means
of injury have been eliminated.
Strict regulations regarding the
sale of powder and other epxlo-
sives have been made, and these
are being enforced. That is a nee
essary precaution. But on the other
hand, ample provisions has been
made for proper observance of
the day. In many cit es and town
the generosity of citizens int sted
in the movement has provided an
ample general fund for the pur-
chase of fireworks and noise-makers

In addition to these there will be

A CRUEL JOKE

Oswald, a witty and originoal
Partisan, had a mania for practical
joking. He was very amusing to
his friends, but when his talents
were exercised to avenge some
wrong, there twas more bitterness
than fun in his wit. One evening
when q man who had not treated
him politely, gave a reception, he
revenged himself cruelty. The man
was slightly deformed. All the
hunchbacks of Paris, 500 in number,
presented themselves at his re-
ception. They had received notices
from Oswald that they should
present themselves at this address
on this evening and they would
learn of a legacythat had been left
them.

Personally l have never had the
slightest desire to have an audianc e
with the Pope. But :one member
of our family has. Three years ago
it was impossible. No effort was
made at this time because it was
thought to be useless, but l have
since learned and think from good
authority, that the delays and in
conveniences are for the purpose of
exacting moneys from those who
are willing to pay for such privilege.
We spent pleasant day at Riese,
surrounded by suggestions of the
Popes early influence, and returned
by the same drive between a row of
beautiful catalpia trees on either

SANE GOURTH POPULAR

From all parts of the country
come most enc ouraging accounts of
the success of the popular movement
to insure safe and sane celebration
of the Fourth. The almost uni
versal Endorsement of the idea, it
would seem, is due to the active
and effective campaign methods
mapped out and followed by the
intelligent mothers and teachers,
who have realized the supreme
necessity of,putting a check upon the
criminally dangerous practices of
the past. Though their efforts the
civic bodies, and in many instances
the municipal authorities, have been
induced to take an active part in
the crusade, and in not a few
states the governors have, Thy pro-
clamation, put the official lid upon
the use of dangerous explosive and
fire arms.
But with all this Jealous work
the result reached would have been
impossible without the generous
and hearty cooperation of the
American boy. This American
youngester, it may be. observed in
passing, can be depended upon for
genuinely intelligent and patriotic
and when the demand is insistent.
He is not ready to surrender even
an iota of his idea of patriotism. Do
not fear. He is none the less pa
triotic because he is intelligent and
thoughtful, and because he has list
ened to the logiclappeal for a high
er yet sane display of enthusiasm
A few Pgeeks ago there were
indications that the effort to por-
uarize a better plan for celebra.
ting the day might fail because
of the. opposition of those who
looked upon the movement las one
tending to deprive the boys and
girls of their just share of fun.
And there were those who con.
tended that the movement, if car
ried out, would put a damper on
that spirit of patriotism which
should be fostered. .and I-encourag-
ed. But these%Iobjectors have dis
appeared, and with them..the fear
that the effort was along the wrong
line. 1t seems now that nearly all
women and most of the woman's
clubs, to say nothing of hundreds
Of civic organizations, are enlisted
in the great campaign. 1t is re-
markable to note with what ease,
due to the cooperation of the boys
and girls, really satisfactory pro-
grams have been garranged and
worked out. The effort has ..been,

WSITES INTERESTING
LETTER FROM ITALY

LIIIlu IIUIu init
Pieve de Galore, Italy.
June,5, 1910.
Dear SIR
1t is Sundry and we ARE in the
heart of the Dolountes with no
place to go to church. The elevation
is 2678 feet and it has been raining
all day. We are surrounded by
fine forests, which lin past centuries
furnished the piles for the found
alton of Venice and the material
for the construction of her princely
men of war and the dirt and rock
for filling in her land. Yet this
cold winter rain does not seem to
bring forth fuel of any kind. These
hotels are not suited for Ameri-
cans. who are accustomed to heated
homes. The only way to keep warm
is to go to bed. But I have had
enough of that and so am spending
the after dinner hour in writing
these few words about our trip to
the Dolmites. My last letter to
the Elko press was from Venice.
We left Venice after a weeks stay
for Padova. The Elglish name is
Padua. Why we should have
changed the name the Italians gave
to these cities has always been
question to me. The proper name
is the one that has been given to
the country whose it is. Why is
Padova Padua, and Firenze, Flor
ence; and Venzia, Venice; and
Roma, Rome?
Well we went to Podova, part way
by steamer and the other part by
train. This is an interesting old
historic city, because it was the seat
of the university that sent out from
its professors men, who have lived,
not for Italy only, but for the world.
This university, founded in 1922,
was famous seat of learning in
the middle ages and still boasts of
1900 students. Here scientists,
artists, writers and theoloists of
those early ages completed their
education. The madonna DELI Arena.
surrounded by the remains of the
ancient amphitheatre, contains some
beautiful frescos by Giotto, dating
back to 1906. This artist was very
friendly with Dante and the date
of this fresco is determined by the
fact that in that year they met in
Padova.
We took an early morning train
from Padova to Castel Franco
Veneto to see the only thoroughly
authenticated production of the
great painter of the early part of
the sixteenth century, Giorgione.
Here the painter was born, and here
behind the high altar of the cathed-
rial hangs his famous work of the
Madona, with st. Francis and
Siberalis. 1t is kept covered, ex-
cept when the custodian lifts the
cover. For small fee he furnishes
glasses so that we can see the paint
ing to better advantage. l find
an electric bullseye which l carry
with me to be of special advantage
in looking atthese pictures.

riage to Riese to make pilgrimage
to the Pope's home. Here Plus TX
