ITALY ALARMED AT. EXPECTATION IF
 |TS MONEY

ROME, Dee. 26. - The big conner cial and financial problem now dis turbing Italy is the depreciation of her money in foreign markets. Notwith- standing the success of her armies and the confidence at home and abroad that her territory cannot be invaded, the lire (193 centsl has con tinued to drop in value ever since Italy ent -et the war.
 At the beginning of the war an Am erican dollar Vas worth five lire fif- teen centimes. During the present year this dollar in Italy has had an average value of six lire fifty centimes This same general depreciation ap- plies to every country in Europe
 The lire before the war quoted at par with the French franc, has lost 10 to l5 per cent of it's purchasing rower there. In others words, during the present year 1t has taken an aver age of 112 lire to buy 100 French tiaH'9' 'iS lo"SS' average NaIue ol the lire on the Paris bourse since 1871. when the present Italian gov ernment had just firmly established itself by the taking of Rome.
 In calling attention to these facts. Italie, of Rome, points out that the life in Switzerland loses 2S per cent of its value and is worth no more in proportion than the Germany mark, whereas the Spanish dollar or five pc setas piece, having less actual silver in it than the five-life or five-frane piece. is now worth in Paris six francs

OLD-T|MER GOES TO THE STATES
 TAGGED
This Is LOUIS GOLDEN, of Fairbanks, Alaska.


 Return C. 0. Q. After 90 Days.
 Thus tagged with a bell and strap one of the best known residents of in. terior Alaska, arrived in Cordova on Sundays train, on his way to the states, It is Louie's first trip outside after nineteen years continuous resi- dence in the territory. and his only excuse for making the trip is the fact that his physical condition demands that he make the acquaintance of a surgeons knife.
 The Fairbanks News Miner gives the following account of the send-off "Gol die" received at the hands of his friends:
 Leroy Tozier has procured a copy of that Wizenheimer standard of lit erature: The Bunc. and How to De tect Its Presence, by Norine Mohr," considered to be the best thoughts upon safety first ever gathered to- gether and printed for the protection of those who travel little and thereby gather much moss. A file of the La. dies Home Journal for the past two years was procured for Louis to read at the rodhouses nights so that by the time he reaches Cordova he will know how to act in a ladylike manner and will not appear upon the streets Of Seattle with all his personal wardrobe on him at one time, as he does at home, for if man shows up on Big town streets wearing two suits of un derclothing. three shirts. four vests. five coats and six sweaters, as Louis does at home, the police wouldn't be able to keep the separators away iron. him if they neglected all other work

The charmed circle broken: dear face
Missed day by day from its accustomed
place:
But eleanssd and saved and perfected by
One more in heaven!
One less at home!
A sense Of loss that meets US at the gate;
Within place untitled and desolate.
And far away our coming to await.
One more in heaven!
One less at home!
This is not home. where cramped in earth
ly mold.
Our sight Of Christ is dim, our love is cold;
But there where face to face we shall
behold.
Is home and heaven!.
One more home in heaven!
Another thought to brighten cloudy days.
Another theme for tnankfulness and praise
Another link on high our souls to raise,
To home and heaven!
One more at home
That home where separation cannot be,
That home where none are missed etern-
ally
Lord Jesus. grant US all place with Thee,
At home in Heaven"
