The story of Mead's. marriage was
romantic enough to match his eXi
ceptional career While left in
charge Of the United States consul
late at Venice during the wedding
trip of Mr.. Howels TO America, the
young sculptor saw in the piazza OF
San Marco a beautiful Italian girl
with whom he fell in love at FIRST
sight. without knowing who she was.
Mr.. Howells while in America ac-
oepted an editorial position on the
Atlantic monthly, and new consul
was appointed. Mead returned TO
Florence, where he had for some
time been living, but he could not
forget the beautiful young Venetian,
and returned to search for her.
Through the services of the new COM
sui a meeting was arranged, and the
Young woman was found TO be all
that could be asked in family and in
culture. Neither, so the story went
could speak a word OF the others
language, so that the loyemaking had
to be carried on through an interpre-
ter. This seems strange considering
Mead's somewhat extended residence
in Italy, but at all events the beauti-
full Marietta di Benyenuti had no
English. But she was almost as
prompt as her admirer to fall in love
and q civil marriage was arranged,
the religious ceremony being impos-
sible because the bride was a Roman
Catholic and Mr.. Mead a Protestant.
The pope was appealed TO in vain for
a dispensation in their favor.
Among Mead's works not already
referred to may be noted "The Re-
turn of Proserpine from the Realms
Of P'uto,' which stood over the main
entrance to the agricultural building

HAMER BILL
PASSES HOUSE.
Will Restore to Idaho 100000
Acres of School Lands

WASHINGTON, d. c., April H.
Congressman Thomas r. Hamer's
lieu selection land bill was today
passed by the house of representa-
tives. BY its provisions millions of
acres of school lands which have
summarily been included in forest
reserves will be restored TO the states
of the northwest and over 500, 900
acres will be restored to the state of
Idaho. AS the bill grants the right
to designate lands within forest re-
serves some of the richest timbered
tracts in the northwest will accrue
to the states which are benefited.
Worth $4,000, 900 to Idaho.
1t is estimated upon conservative
basis that the Golfers of the public
schools of Idaho will be swelled by
at least $25.OOO,OOo. This legisla-
ton is most important to the west
ern country and more so to Idaho
than any bill now before congress.
A double victory was scored by Con-
gresham Hamer today in the passage
also of the bill introduced by him to
grant enlarged homesteads of $40
acres for dry farming in Idaho.

Ten men were in the party that

theory was confirmed by the expert
