you gentlemen please look the other
way?" she said to the policemen.

ACCLAIMED A HERO
FOR SHIPPING BEARD
italian Now Great Because He
Cut Off Peace Deputy's Fa-
ciaI Ad0rnment.

Rome.-The fashionable crowd at the
cafe In the Corso Umberto were gazing
up at the huge screen on the building
opposite, where pictures OF celebrities
Sonnino. Joffre, Wilson, Lloyd George
were being thrown ON the screen. Ii
Is the chief diversion these hot after
noons. Joffre was popular, and Will
son had his admirers. Then came a
picture of a man with a great beard.
This caused tremendous laughter. But
the climax Of approval came when the
picture OF a thin faced man with a
workman's cap ON his head was thrown
on b screen. There was a huge Ova-
ton for this strange face.
And who Is the man with the
beardT" asked the American visitor.
why, that Is Mafie. Is 1t possible
you don't know Maffie?"
And who is the man In the work
mans cap?"
That Is the carpenter Tordelli. You
don't mean to say you haven't heard Of
Tordelli! They are the great Italian
characters of the day"
Maffie is a member of the Italian
chamber of deputies who made a
speech in favor of peace, saying 1t was
really not to Italy's interest to carry
on the a Tordelli was for war and
felt that the peace speech must be re-
buked. He accordingly waylaid Mafle
on the tramway as he came from the
chamber. Maffio had an enormous
beard, which was his pride and best
known characteristic. As Maffie step
ped ON the car Tordelli deftly operated
a pair OF scissors before the surprised
deputy knew what was happening.
Then, with a shock of beard in his
hand, Tordelli disappeared, while Maj
file was left beardless.
Tordelli was arrested, and his trial
soon began. All Rome became inter-
ested. The question Of peace and war
divided sentiment into two camps. All
Italy awaited the fate of the carpenter.
He produced the beard at the trial, and
1t was duly entered by the court as an
exhibit. Thereupon Maffle applied for
the return OF the beard, but the court
held IL had been separated from him
and was now in possession Of the state.
Tordelli suddenly became a popular
hero as defender Of the war.

With PERSHING
ELK POINT BOY WRITES OF SOL
DER LIFE IN FRANCE.

Elk Point, Sept. lift | do get
killed they can say that | died for
the good of old u. S. A."
This patriotic declaration is the
keynote OF an interesting letter
which has been received from Clar-
ence futile. an Elk Point boy who
is serving with Pershing's army in
France. He is a member of Com
pany A, Eighteenth United States in
fantry. The high spirits of the
American soldiers and their thor
ough belief that they will prove more
than a match for the Germans is set
forth in the letter.
There isn't a German over here"
the letter continues, that "a show
us how to fight and the boys are
anxious to get on the firing line.
We are drilling eight hours a day.
but after we stop and think about IL
we have 1t pretty easy. We just hate
the Germans. and when We go for
them we will make them think we
are made of iron. Their bullets are
of paper and we're not afraid of
them.
1--WE probably will get our gas
masks and steel helmets in a few
days. They put me in the hand gre
nades. These things are a small
piece of iron and when this thing ex-
plodes Ii will kill a number of men.
1t is thrown by hand and explodes in
four seconds. As long as ! have been
over here | haven't seen n man out
working. The women and children
do the work. | hope we won't have
to do that" Yocng futile is the
only Elk Point boy who Is with Per
shing's army.
Hugh J. Wood, a Milbank boy who
has enlisted in the service of his
country, writes from a training post
on the south Atlantic coast. He
states that every vocation in life Is
represented among the soldiers now
assembled there, and that among
them is an ex-congressman. His let
ter is in part as follows:
"A rather peculiar incident occur
red to Otto (another Milbank boy
who is with HIM. While driving
down to the Twin cities last summer
near Granite Falls, Mimi, he stopped
and inquired of a farmer who was
dragging the roads the way to the
cities, talked with him a few minutes
and drove On. Yesterday this same
man entered the service and is in our
company. Otto. Roy and myself
were assigned to the same company
and doubtless we will stay all
through together. so we feel pretty
good over 1t. The government takes
very good care of the lei and all are
given an equal show. We had some
very lonesome days at the start, but
we are comemncing to get used to
this life now and having a good time.
We have to get up at 4 o'clock, and
drill two hours before breakfast. do
police duty for several hours after
breakfast and then more drill. One
is kept on the move continually. The
drill is so hard that 1t is not uncom-
mon for men to faint in the ranks.
We have men from every state in the
union here"

There is hardly a neighborhood in

be found who have derived benefit
from Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound. For more than 40 years
this botanic remedy has been over
coming some of the worst cases of fe-
male ills. AS one woman has found
help she has told another, who has
used 1t with the same result; so the
useof this great medicine has spread

rive from the use of this famous
