A MAN WITHOUT A FUTURE.

The employer hires young people,

young horses instead of old ones,
because there. is more future IN
them.
The fact is that men who are be-
ginning to show their age are often
their own worst enemies. They adj
NIT their defeat, and yet are sur
prised that employers think as they
do.
There is nothing so utterly dis
heartening as hopelessness. Ii a
man in the vigor of his strength
loses his position, his business, his
property, he still has hope, con-
zdence that he can get on his feet
again at some time. But when an
old person loses property and po-
stition the chances are compara-
lively small of his ever getting on
his feet again, or ever. into q po-
sition of comparative ease and COM

is even harder for a man than Tor
a woman, because a man out OF a
position without prospects does not
know what to do with himself. He
is much more helpless than a wom-

find small compensation. She does
not have that feelin gof utter hope

these unfortunate men in cities

William Jennings Bryan, three times

out at the st. Paul hotel when asked

He was here in attendance on the
jubilee of progressive Democrats Of

recent victories at the polls.

my answer to that question" he
said, "is another question: What will

ROME DELEGATES
HUGE MONUMENT
Million Witness Ceremonial to Victor
Emmanuel lI.-Cost Will Be
$2O,ooo,ooo.

Rome.-Nearly one million persons
witnessed the dedication of a magni-
ficent monument to King Victor EN-
manuel H.
Interest was added to the occasion
by reason of the celebration of the
granting of the constitution by King
Charles Albert in 1S48, the same con-
stitution which still rules United
Italy
The monument, which is the most
colossal structure of the kind in the
world, when completed, will cost $40.
100000 and will have represented 80
years work.
King Victor Emmanuel and Queen
Helena, the Queen Mother Margher-
1ta, who appeared for the first time
in an official function since the death
of King Humbert, Dowager Queen
Maria Pia of Portugal and many other
members of the royal house were
present.
Not only the residents of Rome but
thousands from the province joined
in making the event of national i'm
portance. The mayors of various
towns and cities throughout the king
dom, who were in attendance, num-
bered 5000
The monument occupies the left
section of the Capitoline hill and faces
the very heart of Rome. In front is
the Corso, the leading thoroughfare
of the city. It Is composed of a great
portico in white marble with 16 col
umns surrounded by frieze, and at
the end quadrigae in bronze.
In front of the colonnade stands
the great equestrian statue of Victor
Emmanuel H., "the father of the
country" on a richly decorated pedes-
tal This statue is 40 feet high and
weighs so tons. The entire length
of the monument is 500 feet, it's depth
$50 feet, and it's height ESQ feet.

DLAZ LEAVES HAVANA

Enthusiastic Demonstration Acccrded
Former Mexican Chief by Cuban
Populace as He Sails.

HaVana.-From the time former
President Diaz came into the harbor
until his ship, the Ypiranga, carried
him past MORO castle on the final lap
of his exile to Europe, Havana did all
it could to make him forget that he is
not still the honored president OF a
neighborfng republic When the steam

Cubans and loyal Mexicans crowding

The exiled president refused to be
interviewed, but permitted his son,
Col. Porf1rio Diaz, Jr., to speak for
him. Colonel Diaz said:
MY father is deeply sensible Of the
wisdom Of the restraint shown by
President Taft in the attitude of the
United States toward Mexico during
the recent crisis. He believes in the
true friendship demonstrated thereby
and all MeXicans appreciate 1t and
have deep sense of gratitude.

He said:
How can this Madero claim to be
a patriot heading a patriotic move
ment when foreign capitalists, seeking
private gain, give him money to fight
with?
ct is plain to see that certain
holders of bonds of the Mexican Ma,
tional railway hoped by the revolution
to prevent the redemption of these
bonds, and then the railways would re-
vert to them. Madero sold himself
to foreign capital"
Colonel Diaz thus characterized the
Madero party government:

bone. In this case the bone, worth
S62, 100000, is the treasury. Lots of
other dogs follow him and hope to get
possession of the bone soon. They

WAR VETERANS
At GREEN BAY
REUNION OF 6. A, r. AND AL
LIED SOCIETIES FOR
ANNUAL SESSION.
ORDERS HAVE BIG GROWTH
While Ranks of Old Soldiers Show
hat They are Growing Thinne
Related Organizations Increase in
Numbers.

Green Bay.-The annual convoca-
ZION OF the state G.. A r. met in this
city,
Up to within five years ago the
department encampment, the legis-
latlve body of the Grand Army. was
regarded as the important annual
business event, but now, and prob
ably during the balance of the Or
der's existence, 1t will be more of a.
state reunion of the veterans than
otherwise.
The business sessions are noted
Tor their harmony and oneness of
purpose. The ties of comradeship
nave become SO strong and the de-
sire to make it pleasant one for tee
other, and to possess the good will
of the public, renders it next to inn
possible to introduce and carry on
heated discussions, no matter what
comes up.
The public should not be surprised
that these modern encampments are
more largely attended than encamp-
ments were a quarter of a century
ago. Not as many of the soldiers
attend as in the long past, but the
kindred societies, the Woman's Re-
lief corps, the Grand Army's auxil-
larry, the Sons Of Veterans, Daugh-
tiers OF Veterans, Ladies of the Grand
Army and Daughters of the Grand
Army, the latter a recently per-
fected organization, are more and
more in evidence as the years come
and go.
The Woman's Relief corps has a.
larger membership in Wisconsin
than the Grand Army, and is stead
lily and rapidly growing. For more
than a quarter of a century it has
been the strong right arm of the
soldier organizations.
The other woman's society, known
as the Ladies Of the G. A. R., COM
posed only of the relatives of SOL
diers, hold their convention at the
same time.

c1eties 20 a city the size of Green
Bay--25, 000-means more or less

Medical congress which concluded at
Wiesbaden few days ago was on tbs
application of radium in the aerial
state. Radium "emanatoria" have been
established in Berlin and at Bad
Homburg and now Ems is to have one.
A special apparatus in which radium
is placed in current of air is fixed
in room and all the patients have to
do is to sit in the room and talk or
read newspapers or play draughts;
the radium solution in the air does the
rest and affects the blood through the
lungs. This treatment is especially
recommended for all equity ailments.
