THERE'S A CHANCE FOR YOU.

What would the average youth Of
today think Of his chance IN life II be
were obliged to change places with the
Young Abe Lincoln. the child Of the
backwOods? What # he found him
self in a rude log CABIN, without YIN
dows or floors, in the heart Of the viii
derness. far away from srhonIs,
churches and railroads, without news
papers, books or money What would
he think of having to walk nnr miles
to attend "A crude school IN a little cab

todav think of securing the country for

GENERAL CANEVA RANKIN

1t would be hard to find five more
interesting personalities than these in
whom Italy has placed her fate in the
war against Austria.
To the Duke of the Abruzzi, well
known to the American public because
of his romance with Miss Katherine
Elkins, Italy looks to retrieve the ma

squadron, struck Italy a crushing blow
which has left its mark upon Italian
naval prestige up to the present day
General Luigi CadOrna, head OF
the Italian land forces. comes Of a
family of soldiers. His father Gen
eral Conte Raffaele Cadorna, entered
Rome with an army in 1870 at the
coniscation Of the Papal state and
the overthrowal of the temporal pow
