to reports brought to Rome by re-

in a dispatch from Sora, which says

1.-THE old adage, "a fool and his
money are soon parted" is par
ticuiarly true when the fool is OF
the feminine persuasion, and has
reached the years of indiscretion.
A pertinent and pathetic Illustration
Of this fact is furnished by a case
which has been occupying the attention
of the courts for the last few days. in
been trying to recover by law some
Of the money out OF which she was
fleeCed by man who distracted her
attention from the way he was robbing
her by making love to her.
This wOman's husband left her more
than 100000, enough to have Tapped
her in luxury to the longest day of her
life had she taken the slightest intel
ligent care OF il, but she appears to
have turned over her valuable seCuri-
ties to a man who flattered her, and
who was n plausible talker, with the
result that now at the beginning Of
her old age she is a poor. districted
creature, turned out Of her home and
being sued for bills that he has no
means of paying.
Left Helpless After Years Of Luxury.
OF all the pitiful and helpless crea-
lures on earth, none is so pathetic and
so helpless as a middleaged woman who
has had plenty all her life and who
own resources. She has the habits Of
extravaganza. She doesn't know how
to begin to economic or live cheaply.
She doesn't even know how to get the
worth out of a dollar.
She has no trade. no business train
ing, no means by which to earn a cent,
and she is too old to learn. She is
slow Of mind and of body, and cannot
acquire a profession as a young girl
nor has she the physical strength TO
work hard, if she would.
All Of these are truths that the
stupidest woman knows; and, knowing
how cruel is the fate Of the old woman
without money. you would think that
women would hang on TO their pocket
books with death grip, and that you
would have TO chlorOform one to get a
dollar away from her.
RObbing Women Is Easy.
On the contrary. women are the easy
marks Of the world and robbing them
is Just about as difficult as taking
candy away from a sick baby.
They will sign any sort OF paper
without reading it or understanding it.
They will put their good money into
any kind Of wildcat speculation, il the
man who is promoting it is a glib
talzer. They will turn over their gilt
edged securities to perfect strangers
and go on notes without investigating
the sOlvency of the person for whom
er, never be so rude as to ask a lawyer
or a trustee for an accounting
Inasmuch as women apparently have
not enough money sense to keep them
selves from becoming the victims of
sharpers, it is certainly the duty of
their husbands and fathers to protect
them against their own folly. It's the

Climb Over Your Mountain

IF YOU had your choice today-to

- slowly starve to death, OF to climb a

yet led to comfort and beauty at the
top-you would, / am sure, start at

No matter what boulders Law ahead.
you would try to climb over. No mat
ter what wild animals rOamed over the
mountain you would face the trials and
dangers sooner than stay in the valley
and die a slow death.
This IS precisely what you want to
do now
To give up all individual effort be-
cause there are trusts and mOnODOlies
in the land is to stay in the valley and
die of inaction- To push on in de-
termined and never give up state of
mind is to succeed in spite of every
thing.
If you chance to see some other pill
grim on the road, riding in an automO-
bile while you walk. do not at once
jump to the conclusion that he is your
enemy, and that he has robbed and
cheated his fellOwmen to procure his
method of easy lOcOmotion.
Such thoughts will take yeuT force
and vitality away from the object you
have in view and will harm you. while
they may wrong your neighbOr. It

terials.
1t has grown to be the habit of the
unsuccessful to class all people who
possess comforts and conveniences in
one mass with the idle, selfish and
ofttimes dishonest rich.
There are millionaires who came by
their wealth through criminal methods.
There are capitalists who grind the
poor and wrong their fellow men. But
it is well to remember that there are
also honest noble, unselfish people with
fortunes, and capitalists who are a
blessing to the world, to the laboring
classes and TO humanity.
An Absurd Idea.
No more unjust and absurd idea ever
existed than that mistaken impression
of the very poor that all rich, or even
comfortable, people are their enemies
and their despoilers.
Equally erroneous Is the idea that
only the poor have troubles, cares or
hardships.
There are wealthy people who work
Il hours a day with their brains and
hands trying to do good to humanity.
Honest Rich Men.
There are men who have become the
pOssessors of large fortunes through
honest industry and perseverance, and
who are bowed to the earth by the cares

To be the pOssessor of a comfortable
