venice.-In his article on the Lido.
The great playground Of Venice, in
Harper's, Harrison Rhodes gives an
amusing picture of the gay lifefo tho
place and it's curiously cosmopolitan
character.
Bathing is more elegant in the morn
ing and from ones own thatched hut.
hit it is more fun in the afternoon and
from the establishment. The bath
houses are capacious and welh
equipped, and good natured bagnini-

tunes are on hand to install you and
run your errands. There is a general
geniality about the service, and a rec
ignition Of the cosmopolitan quality

of the duties demanded. One simil-
ing creature, last summer, as he OPEN
ed your cabin, closed for the moment
the English grammar which he was
studying in the interests of commu-
nication with the forestieri. There is,
too, il you come often enough, a cheer
full, familiar greeting and a quarter
hours pleasant gossip whenever you
have time.
The gentleman, for example, who
checks your valuables while you battle
may be occasionally seen at the the
alter of an evening, clad in doublet
and hose and singing in the chorus
when they give "Rigoletto" or the
"Barbiere." In his day, you will dis
cover, he paid many visits to London
and to New York, where he sang In
the chorus at the Metropolitan. He
now retires willingly to more mac.
tive and more social occupation, and
plans to rear his seven male offspring
to sing in due time in the opera Choir
us. He has his own philosophy of life,
too, and cheerfully threatens to di-'
vorce his wife should she present him
with even one female child. CONVEX
sation with him is indeed a pleasant
prelude to the bath.
Other characters there are-of long
er standing; for the Lido in a quiet
way has been sea bathing place for
a long, long time. Three years ago
died there a bronzed and weather
beaten old man who for forty years
had stood at the entrance to the bath
houses offering for sale shells and
small dried sea horses tied by the tails
in groups of three. These latter, OF
assorted sizes, were family, he ex-
plained-a famiglia-padre, madre,
hllo.' He grew older and his eye
dlmmed, but he always smiled insin-
uatingly and muttered his chant OF
famiglia. At the end his. mind seem
ed to go; there was nothing left but
the vacuous smile and the vacant
mounting of the phrases about father
mother and son.

to be appointed to draft a consti-

also resolved to work to secure a

During each of the next three

figures are based on the plant

4 The impression left in the
minds of Stevens county people
5 that the railroad looks upon
This territory as legitimate leech-
ing ground without necessity Of
renewing or improving the soil.
This impression can not be erad-
icated in a few years. THE dog
will jest natch'rlly remember"
/ So when railroads clamor for
fair treatment in coming years,
they may not receive it-fo the
human race is not perfect, and
prejudices are hard to overcome.
Now is the time for the roads to
cultivate the good will of the
public, and if in this they fail,
theirs will be the penalty.
In the face of such conditions,
it is not strange that people will
hurry into court to seek damages
for almost any cause, and it
seems but retribution when a
jury awards damages in excess
of what might be deemed just.
ANY juryman who sits on a rail-
sroad damage case should remem-
ber that it is one of the few
chances for the public to show
the railroad that it is not after
all supreme in this world, and
that there are human rights
which also need protection. If
every possible excuse were used
by every resident of Stevens
county to annoy, harass and
cause expense to the Great North
ern, that road would soon wake
up and get busy. And in ex-
treme cases, extreme measures
are justified, when public rights
are concerned.
Throughout the country the
railroads are having trouble.
Having lost the confidence of the
people, they are beset with diff
culties. Injury verdicts eat up
their profits, and personal suits
cause big expenses in litigation.
No doubt the people are some
times too harsh in their judg-
ments-but old man Grape Nuts
Post has the answer There's a
reason" The railroads are now
paying the penalty for previous
actions, and human nature has
not changed with the masses.
