away, he had invested money in ST.
berian mines that had made him rich.
The only means he had of palming
himself of as a real Colonna was the
RIM and Prince SforZa, the reading of
a brief history Of his ancestors and
these Siberian mines, which were not
likely to be hunted up by Miss Hen
derson. But his chief attraction was
his personnel. No American can visit
Italy without being impressed with
the solemn grandeur Of some of their
knights Of the napkin whose battle
ground is the restaurant and whose
fortunes consist of American tips.
Prince .Colonna was one Of the most
magnificent of these.
Now, the American girl is regarded
all over Europe as a wonder. Euro
peans are used to their own girls, who
are guarded till after their marriage
and must then endeavor TO throw off
that want Of familiarity with the
world to which they had been there
tofore doomed The American girl be-
gins TO use her wings almost from the
crib. Miss Henderson was as well
able to take care of herself as a corps
OF guardians and duennas could have
taken care of her.
The day after the presentation Hen
~ Blackwelder, a young man from
South Dakota, who raised wheat
enough in one season TO fill half a
dozen elevators, came to Rome for the
purpose of getting from Miss Hender-
son a reply to a suit of several years
standing. He came at a very inoppor-
tune time Prince Calonna had just
appeared on the scene and had evi-
IDENTIFY been very much struck with
Miss Henderson. Mr.. Blackwelder
could not make out whether Miss Hen
derson was bent upon assuming Prince
Gregorio's historical name or whether
she was laughing at him. The prince
had the good taste never to mention
his family glory unless compelled to
do so. When Blackwelder and Colon
IA and Miss Henderson were together

Making the Ballot Shorter.

The question Of shorter ballot is
being agitated by numerous reform or
CARNATIONS, including the Civic FEEDER
alton of Chicago.
The multiplication Of Offices and of
names of candidates on state, city and
county tickets has encountered the vot-
er with great burden on election day
and leads to confusion.
Like all reform movements this short
ballot movement has attracted to it a
radical element which proposes meth
DDS which would only be possible I'M
der a general amendment of the con-
stitution- Among the suggestions are
the appointment by the courts of their
own clerks, the appointment of such
officers as county superintendent Of
schools and treasurers by county
boards, and the appointment by the
governor of attorney general and state
superintendent of public instruction.
Under the constitution of the state
most, If not all, of the officers named
are elective, says the Chicago News.
in discussing the matter, and this pa
per holds out little hope of any effec-
tive measure being practicable with
out an amendment to the state consti-
tuition.
On the question Of removing state
and county Offices from the public
fran chise there will naturally be much
difference of opinion. In the past the
tendency has been to increase rather
than diminish the number of elective
offices, and many voters believe that
frequent appeal to the people either
on the choice of men or measures is a
safeguard of good government.
Meanwhile the burden of the long
ballot continues TO become heavier and
the duties Of the franchise more oner-
Gus. The adoption of voting machines
does not seem to have grown in popu-
larity. The question is one for care
full consideration.

Of the prince Blackwelder would have
settled down to his fate, whatever 1t
was. Unfortunately she seemed to be
wavering between the two. The only
persons vino seemed TO nave been
made happy by the introduction of the
prince were the conspirators, Barba-
RIM and Sforza. One day Miss Hender
son, driving along the Corso in an open
carriage with Blackwelder and the
spurious prince, saw them sitting to-
gether in the Piazza COlonna drinking
and smoking. They both rose and took
off their bats to her, while she seemed
to be very proud of the italian portion
of her company. After this she SEEM
ed bent on driving by the Piazza Co
lonna frequently at an hour when she
knew her two discarded suitors would
be there. If Prince COIonna on these
occasions felt embarrassed he conceal
ed his embarrassment under that stOlid
grandeur of mien which was born in
him.

Leo Barbarini to Prince SforZa, 81 be-

"And the smile she gave u.s."
And so the comedy went on, much
to the satisfaction Of the conspirators.
Prince COlonna's capital was nearing
an end. and one day he mentioned be-
fore Miss Henderson that a dividend
from his mines had been delayed. She
promptly asked him how much he re-
quired for his present expenses, and
while he was refusing TO be supplied

writing a check for 1900 Ira. handed

Two Italian noblemen were sitting
on a sidewalk in the Piazza Colonna
in Rome, smoking cigarettes and
drinking the wine of the country.

centuries ago, the one from Barbarini,
the other from the Sforza. Count Leo

Soon after this interview It was in
tfmated to Miss Evaline Henderson Of
Idaho, Q. S. A, that Prince Gregorio
Colonna desired to be presented to
her. The Colonna family was al
ready known to Miss Henderson az
one Of the two great factions-the
Colonna and the Orsini-that dominat-
ed Rome during the middle ages. She
had not come to the Eternal City with
out preparing herself by historical
reading to enjoy its antiquities and
was curious to see a lineal descendant
Of family that had taken so great
part in past struggles between the
holy Roman empire and the papacy.
She therefore received Prince Colonna

play his part more from his personal

Greed ends in gratitude only when

revenge back.
Rapacity kills capacity and unoheck-

not conspire with his lesser self and
at the same time aspire to his fullest
greatness.
The grasping habit is a grieyous

rival the revelations made by Judge

speaking of vote selling, there's an
other strong feature of the commission

seller are liable to serve penalties un-
