PEER, BUT NO ARISTOCRAT

His would be an unimaginative
soul that did not find some inspira-
ton and quickening in the career of
Lord Shaughnessy, the son of an Irish
policeman of Milwaukee, Wis, who
has now added to his other honors
the rank of peer to the realm.
Shaughnessy himself has strong
views on the question of aristocracy.
More than once he has. expressed his
repugnance to an aristocracy of
wealth, such as prevails in America,
and for an aristocracy of family based
on wealth, such as prevails IN Eng
land.
Lord Shaughnessy began railroad
ing as lad of sixteen in the Office of
the Chicago, Milwaukee G. st. Paul
railroad. Ten years later he was the
company's general storekeeper. When
Sir William Van Horne took over the
management of the Canadian Pacific

TELL OF PAST GLORY
RUINS OF ROMAN PALACES ME-
MENToEs OF GREATNESS.
ooslIlpo, In the "Fairest Land Of Eu-
rope" Has a History Which Makes
II Of enhancing Interest to
the Tourist.

The city Of Naples gives no idea
of the beauty of southern Italy. 1t sits
like ragged vagrant by the roadside
in the fairest land of Europe.
II you would see all of this beauty
at glance, visit the steep headline of
Posilipo, which juts into the sea be-
yond the city Here are combined the
beauties of the modern Campania-
the smooth roads winding upward past
white villas, the blue sky, under which
the earth seems to glow, while the sea
is tipped with silver-and the most
striking relics of the long-gone days
of the Roman empire and the middle
ages, those periods so full of story and
color, which have moved across Italy,
environed in her beautiful landscape
and inspired by the romantic tempera-
ment of her people. like the acts Of
some mighty pageant.
At Posilipo stood the villa Of vir.
gill greatest of the Latin poets, and
here today is vault where his re-
mains are said to lie. 1t was at Po-
silipo that Virgil wrote the Georges,
those beautiful Latin pastorals that
picture all the seasons of the year as
the poet studied them from his coun-
try seat. Here after he had died came
many another poet and sage to put
flowers on his tomb.
This famous sepulcher Is a low
stone vault with three windows. There
formerly stood within it a tall urn,
which was said to contain the ashes of
the poet, but this has disappeared and
is said to have been removed by King
Robert the Wise to his palace for safe
keeping.
At the very end of the headland
stands one of the most impressive
relics of Roman luxury IN all Italy. 1t
is the ruin of Pausilypum, the villa
built by Vedius Polio and bequeathed
by him to Augustus Caesar. THE End
of Sorrow" is the meaning of its name,
which has become that of the entire
headland.
Here are remains of massive white
marble walls and pillars and founda-
tions, reaching far out into the water,
and from these and from the numerous
legends and stories that cling about
them, one may reconstruct the beauty
and splendor and license of the life OF
decadent Rome. He may picture the
great villa, sitting on the point Of the
headland, backed by dark groves, with
its white feet in the breaking sea. He
may reconstruct in fancy the Odeon
and the theater, where the lord and
his guests were entertained; the fish
pond into which Vedius caused serv-
ant to be thrown and devoured for
breaking glass; the wide-flung gal
leries and porticoes, the elaborate
marble baths. And this palace of by
gone age he may people with the
mobiles and philosophers, the poets and
soldiers of Rome, in their flowing
robes of white and purple, attended
by the slaves of all their wars-beau-
tiful women of Greece, black men from
| Africa, fair-haired savages from the
British Isles and the wild interior of
Europe--the people of all the races
conquered by these most powerful and
dominating men that the world has
yet brought forth and who are now re-
membered by crumbling stones upon
a deserted beach.-Chicago Daily

When the tree suffers from loss of
