Broad Beclna His Retara Joar-bof aad Falls I with Some Interesting People, Including Mr. and Mrs. ewlywd. (By Mall to The Northwestern.) Steamer Berlin, on the Atlantic. March 29.

I left Professor Trentanove In the station at Florence and took the train for Genoa. The weather was threatening and In a couple of hours the rain began and we had a steady down-pour until late at night. Passing through Pisa, the famous cathedral with Its leaning tower Impressed me Jisst as It did in November when I saw it on my way to Florence. "Is that the famous leaning tower? That little weather-beaten thing?" For I notice that any great building or antiquity that 1 have heard much about or read about always seems disappointing when I come to look at It. Seen from a distance the great tower of Pisa appeared quite small and Insignificant Our train stopped at a great many stations.

I noticed one thing In the management of thee Italian railroads that was different from the American system. As we, passed through the station after seeing to the weighing of my trunk and paying for the freight on It, for no baggage carried free except hand-baggage, we proceeded to the train which was waiting. No one Is allowed to pass the gate without a ticket and Trentanove had to buy a ticket to accompany me to the cars. A moment' consideration will show some advantages of this system. When the train arrive at a station, no one Is along-side the track except railroad servants.

In American stations numerous accidents occur by reason of the crowd that swarms along the track on the arrival of every train, and the European system prevents this congestion. Tha price of a ticket for admission Inrslda the gates. If one Is accompanying a friend is two cents, Just enough to keep out the crowd. In my compartment was a young couple just returning from Egypt where they had epent the winter. Bags, eolf-aticks and bundles filled the available space in the rackn, for they traveled like all the English, and seemed to enjoy their own company.

The young woman was a rosy-cheeked blonde about twenty-five years old, and her husband was three or four years older. "Paddy," she said, "will you please open the window?" And every few minutes eh! addressed him as Paddy and he called hT Edith, eo It was Paddy and Edith all day long, and they seemed a very devoted couple. Later I opened up conversation with the young man and found him to Vie-very Intelligent. After the Ice was broken, he thawed out nicely and we became quite chummy, but I verily believe that If I had not addrfwod him first we should have traveled to the end of our Journey with as little Intercourse as If one of im had been from Mars nnd the Other from the middle of Russia, Making a summary of our conversation, what he told mo wan something like this; "I am a farmer In Ualway, Ireland. My farm which I Inherited from my father has about 200 acres, but! only about If of It is under cultiva-J tlon.

Our crops are wheat, barley, oabt nun lootueu. t.iur Rinusi uiioeuiiy is the high price of labor. Only a few years ago, we could get an abundance of labor at peven and eight shillings a week, but now we have to pay ten shillings. No, we don't board our laborers. The men board themselves.

Tobacco? yes. It is quite a profitable crop but it is taxed very heavily. Only a few years ago, the cultivation of tobacco was prohibited bylaw with severe penalties, fine and Imprisonment, for any one who broke the law. Sow we are trying to get the heavy tax made lighter, but the government won't help us." Every man has bis troubles and I wondered how a Winnebago county farmer would like It If he could get his labor at $2.30 a week and "board himself." However, to make any compari son at all, all the conditions must be taken into account. Gangs of railroad employes were at work repairing the "track along the route and in many places the wooden ties were being replaced with ties made of cement and In some cases, of Iron.

Whenever wooden ties were put down they were covered with creosote. Everywhere the roadhed and railroad prop erty generally seemed to be in excellent condition, I made about a dozen different Journeys by rail In Italy, Including Sicily, and trains were Invariably on time, cars were clean and comfortable and there was always manifested a conscientious regard for the safety of human life. And all the railways are owned and operated by the government. At Genoa I went to the Hotel Continental. My trunk did not go on the omnibus with me, but I had Identified It and left it In charge of the hotel runner who promised to send it up by the next bus.

Two hours later, as I eat In the reading-room, the hotel concierge, a tall-blond-bearded Swles, came to me and said: "The man telephones from the station that you must send down the key of your trunk. It is hold up on account of the octroi." "Tell him I refuse to have my trunk opened." "Then he will not let It pass." "Hut I came only from Florence." "I know It, but there Is a tariff against Florence." I concluded that discretion was the better part of valor and handed over my bunch of keys with a mental reservation quite unfit for publication In bou fifteen minutes, the concierge returned my key saying: "The man telephones that another gentleman got his trunk through w-ithout examination and so they passed yours." On the Via Garibaldi, the Hotel Continental Is In the busy business part of the city. Through my open window came the noise of scores of omnibuses, carriages, drays and motor cars and the rain continued Its gentle patter. There was a very good dinner after the regulation order, table d'hote, almost exactly like what I had been taking every evening for the psst three months. After dinner, I heard some one playing the piano In one of the parlors, and as I am a member of the American Association for the Suppression of Music, 1 went In.

A tall young woman was manipulating the keys and a demure young man sat In one corner of the room. Turning around, as I seated mv-self, the girl addressed me In French, but as that didn't elicit the right For Freckled, Rough or Spotty Complexions A builder strove from the early dawn To the dusk of the dying day.

It will fall at tlx storm's attsek. The rules of sclenre you sore transgress, You've built without plan or chsrt; You've paid no heed to the laws of stress.

By Fred O. Kelly. (The Spice of Life at the National Capital.) Washington, April On. W. H.

Blxby, chief of engineers In tho United BtaUa army, was flred from his first Job back In his boyhood days. He was employed by a wholesale chemical house In Boston. His duties consisted largely In going from one place to another at the bidding of pretty much anybody about the place, ana it was not an Important Job measured ny either the salary or prestige It carried. still, It was a JoD ana HiXDy nceuea 'i and liked It. One morning another boy was on hand when Blxby came around to begin the day's work.

'What are you doing askea Blxby. 1 came to take your place, replied the boy. Hlxby said he guessed not, and tne boy told him how It was. "I don't want the old Job," he said, hut I'm a son of Mr. Msyer, the man that owns this plant, and he wants me to work here a while, and I to take your place." So there was nothing for Blxby to do but get his hat and trudge sadly away.

He told the Meyer Ivoy he didn't hold any grudge against him. Glad to hear It," said the Meyer boy. "See you later." It was nearly forty years later when the two next met. Hlxby had been living In various parts of the country, where his work called him, and had Just returned to Washington to live, A friend took him In to Introduce him to tho secretary of the navy. "The last time we met," remarked Blxby to Secretary Meyer, "was the morning you came around and took my Jobh A bit of red tape holding sway in the District of Columbia provides that the man who collects ashes must not collect waste paper or grass and other refuse from ones yard.

When Senator John Sharp Wllllumu bought a house here a few months ago, he had the back yard all cleaned up and filled the ash bin with graft, tin cans, ashes, and what not. Naturally, the confusion that re sulted was something awful. The ash man couldn carry away ashes all mixed with graee, could he? And how was the man hired to tote off grass and kindred things, to get the grat entirely dlfiwiclated from the ashes? It was a delicate situation, and none of the District employes felt like overleaping precedent and running risk of being without a job. Old John Sharp listened first to the ash man and then to the graft man, and then he went down to headquarters, leaving his usual calm unruffled man ner behind. He made a few general remarks about the Republican administration under which such red tape had grown up, and then declared: "Tomorrow at 3 o'clock I'll separate tiie graes from the aslus with my own hands, and If there's still any objection Ml sift the ashes through a sifter made of the finest silk -silk imported from abroad under a high protective tariff.

Then will you come and haul the ashes away?" Twenty minutes later a man John Sharp never learned whether it was tho ash man or the gra man went out with a wagon and hauled the stuff away. Representative Charles N. Pray of Montana, is keenly interested In the talk that Wu Ting Fang may be returned here as minister from our sister republic of China. The last Pray saw of Wu was on a street car shortly lie-fore the Chinese diplomat left Washington. Pray and another congressman anil tnAlr wtveM wri on tliolp wnv downtown to the theater.

The car was nearly filled; but the congressmen din covered one vacant seat. They told their wives to settle between themselves which one ehould occupy R. But the omen did an Alphon.se-Gaeton conver- sallon, each declaring that she' really and truly would Just as soon stand. While this was going on, Wu Tung Fang got aboard. One glance ebowed him that In a moment the women would come to an understanding and that one would Sit down.

So lie went the length of the car in Just two great strides And sat down In the seat himself. Pray has a theory that If they hesitate too long about picking a minister. Wu will come along and take the Job unto himself. Representative Ploan of Nebraska, will never forget the first law case he ever tried, and probably his opponent never will. The trial was held In the shade of a barn.

Sloan made the opening argument and eat down, wondering If he had acquitted himself reasonably well. While Sloan was sitting down, a Juror igwagged to the Judge and wished to know if he could be excused for an hour or so. "Why, I don't see how," replied the Judge. "You'll mlrs the other argument." But I've decided how I'm going to vote," said the Juror. And Sloan felt considerably encouraged.

Former Congnesman James Tawney Is accredited with this remark to T. Roosevelt a day or so after the latter left the White house. "I Just wish to remark to you that I no longer look down on you," said Tawney. "I am willing to meet you now on a basis of equality. When you were a public servant you were in a measure working for me, and I could regard you only as a servant.

Now that you're your own boss again, I do not foe! above you. There Is no longer a big social chasm between us." (Copyright. 1912. All rights reserved.)

For reveral year nm of the western state have shown progressive hut the old-line politicians have Insleted the movement tvnw merely a nporadlc symptom of uiinwt, which they declared would eventually euhside and die out, They have also industriously rliilined the movement would not spread to the eastern slate, at leawt not In proportions sufficient to largely Influence politlr In that election, and they have, trl'd their beet to have this predict ion verified. Yet in the old and conservative slate of Pennsylvania, ewe-ond In population and political import ance only to New York, tho people have now given Indisputable evidence of Insurgency against the bouses and the old order of political control. And great I the wonder and amazement of the old Htm political leaders thereat.

The truth of the mutter lsnnd even tho Reactionary politicians will eoon be forced to admit It the wave of pro grtvnlve political sentiment which orl ginated In the west has rapidly extend ed until It now reache from the Pacific to the Atlantic, and la hacked by an evr Increasing numlier of adherents and followers who firmly believe In the principles and poicle on which this movement In founded.

The old order of thlmble-rlgged, boss-dlrettud, spo-clal-prlvllrge-eerving polities is bound to pass away, and already the founda tions of this old system are commencing to crumble and disintegrate at an amaz ing rate.

Warning to Mexico. It is aigniticaut that the warning which lias been issued President Taft against the sacrifice of American lives or the endangering of American properly in is plainly addressed to "llio people," although, uf course transmitted tlmuiKh the regular diplomatic channels to the authorities vf I lie Mexican gorei'iimcM.

And Id make tlm warning the more emphatic tlm Inngimgo of the diplomatic note repeats thai The Tinted Slates must Insist (list the rules and principles accepted by civilised nations us controlling their actions ill time uf wur shall be observed. Any tlctiatiou from such a course, any maltrealint nt of any American citiiens, will be deeply lewuted by tlm American government and people and must be fully answered for by the Mevicau people." The real meaning of this warning Is plainly, that the nutloii as a whole Is to be held acciiuntoblo to this nation for wilful or wanton disre gard of the rales of civilised warfare. ami that the people, no least tlum the authorities themselves, will have to answer to this government If the warn ing Is unheeded. That conditions approaching genuine anarchy exist In many portions of the Mexican republic la it fact well known to the world at iHtge, and under such conditions peril to Annriinns nnd American Intercuts is imminent.

It will not be suf-tlclent, however, for the Mexican authorities to plead Inability to control the situation, In case harm comes to American cltlr.ens or American Interests, for the president of this nation says the Mexican people themselves must answer for excesses or outrages affecting persons who can rightfully claim the protection of this govern ment. Just how this Mexican situation will terminate is difficult to foretell, but in the minds of many shrewd observers there is growing conviction that this nation will eventually be forced to in- FACE BROKEN OUT?

A. Horn, Si Main Street, Oshkosh, Wl The Most TVrrllils Otinn Tragedy. Tho world Is shocked and stunned by the news of the terrible tragedy In the low of the palatial ocean liner Titanic, with a. sacrlflcs of human life now estimated at nearly 1,300.
