CHIGIs BACK TO OLD HOME
Roman Family TO Occupy Historic Villa
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of
Original Owners.

After 337 years the historic Villa
Farnesina, on the banks of the Tiber,
a half-mile distant from st. Peters
church. will again be occupied by de-
scendants of It's original owners and
builders, tho Princes of Chigi, says a
Rome correspondent.
The head of the house. Prince Luz
doyic Chigi, who last year was app
pointed marshal of the Holy church
and the guard of the Conclave and,
therefore, rules the Vatican during the
interim between the death of a pope
and the election of n new Ole, recently
disposed of the Chigi palace to the
Italian government. 1t is stated that
by this sale he was put In a position to
buy back the Villa Farnesina, erected
in 1509-11 by the Papal banker, Agos-
tho Chigi, and notable because Of its
frescoes by Raphael.
The palace will be restored and re-
furnished as it was when first occupied
by the Chigi family, an auction sale
having been held recently to rid the
palace of the furniture left there by
the king of Naples.
The return of the Chigis is consid-
cred remarkable since it Is %proverbial
in Rome that when once q family
leaves its home 1t leaves forever.

Timorous

A woman went into a store for a pair
Of slippers. She asked the shop as
sistant to get her a pair about size 10,
and she wanted them squeaky.
They are for my father" she added.
"Squeaky, miss? I'm afraid we have
not got any of that kind"
Couldn't you make him a pair of
squeaky ones?" asked the young WON
an. 'There is a young man who visits
me frequently, and it would be very
convenient for him to know just when
pa is coming downstairs"

"This doll is not broken" corrected
the child gravely.
"Oh, isn't 1t? I thought that was
the doll that used to cry Mamma y
when it was queezed."
"This is the same doll. But you
must remember that was several years
ago. She is much older now. You
don't expect a grown-up young lady
to cry Mamma! = when she is queezed
do you?"
The caller had to acknowledge that
whatever she expected, it probably
wouldn't take place.

given an opportunity to really think OF
them they are apt to become multi
tudinous In numbers and mountainous
In size. Il II especially betting that
the beautiful story Of Pollyanna
should bs heard by multitudes this
summer.
The story of Pollyanna takes up the
life Of an unfortunate child where

poverty becomes destitute. and yet

thoughts and appreciation Of every
thing. whether good or had. When she
receives Z severe injury she smiles
through her tears of pain and says
that It might have been worse. and she
is thankful that she was not more seri
ously injured. When the one leg IL
broken she expresses gratitude and
Joy that both We're not broken. And
IN this way she lives and scatters the
sunshine of love all about her. In her
presence one cannot help but feel the
ungratefulness Of the average person
and the contrast bet the life OF
Pollyanna. the true optimist. and the
narrow commercialism Of this time.
Pauline Lucille Mayo In presenting
this beautiful story impersonates Pol
lyanna in wonderful manner. She
does not neglect the other important
characters. but lives In each one of the
life Of that individual. In this respect
her work Is truly great. 1t has beer
said that no greater thing could come
to all America than to have the story
of Pollyanna given to every one all in
a day and that story would revolu
honize the feelings OF our, people.

In the course of the house debate

clear that the United States could
easily pay for it's war out of pocket

and equitable method of raising

to show that the annual income OF
the people of the United States is
$33,600, ,000 figure more often than
not exceeded, in penses, as now esti-
mated, would take about one
fourth of this amount. 1t is per-

would only be necessary to levy on
the INCOMES of the well-to-do as
drastically as we are already levy
ing, directly and indirectly, upon
the incomes of the people of small
est means. Then there would be
no war debts to be drag upon in
dustry when the war is over and
fewer mushroom war fortunes to
add to the nations economic prob

vision or the courage to do so great

the difference has been invested in wool

Law Not Erplaclt Enough

Two men have had their permission
to drive motor cars, granted by the
state, suspended for a period OF ninety
DAYS, in each case, by justice of the
peace in this city, within the past week.
Each was also fined $25 and costs.
Their offense was that of driving auto
mobiles while under the influence of
liquor, and the action was taken under
law passed at the last session OF the
legislature.

Let The Row Proceed

Irving A. Caswell, clerk of the State
Supreme Court; is receiving all sorts of
uncompliraentary notices from the state
press, for the part he took in the recent
meeting of the Republican state central
committee, which resulted in the election
of Senator Frank B.. Kellogg as member
of the national committee to succeed
the late Chester A. Congdon of Duluth.
Mr.. Carpenter, who wanted to hold the
job of helping to direct the next national
campaign, is also coming in for some
hard knocks, and altogether everything
is: not exactly lovely in the ranks of the
G. o. P. Senator Kellogg, however, is
receiving his full share of bouquets from
the country newspapers.
The election of Senator Kellogg is
considered a.slap at the administration.
of Governor Burnquist, which is not the
most popular that this state has ever
had, by any means.
The state executive has done things
that have not had tendency to endear
him to the people of this great state.
Probably the hardest blow to his popu-
larity was his act in vetoing the school
appropriation which has deprived the
school children of this state of many
thousands of dollars that rightfully be-
longed to them.
From a local standpoint you don't
have to go very far from home to get a
focus on the governors narrowness from
a political standpoint. The manner in
which he and his safety board has treated
three of the leading citizens of this city,
is evidence of his unftness to govern
so great state as Minnesota.
On the other hand the Review has no
sympathy, whatever, with Governor
Bunquist's opponents in the recent
'.mix-up,'' They have practically said
their only objection to Burnquist is
that they and.Stheir henchmen have
failed to secure. the requisite number
of offices at his disposal. IS.
A fine state Of affairs, and q fine
bunch of patriots to control the destinies
of political party, which may also
extend to the control Of the state.
