Our way led by all kinds of sh^.ps that showed a fine display i^i their show win dows, We passed large hotels and a church that had a pro nouncedly slanting tower, and up a much winding road, on a hill that was bordered on each side with beautiful gardens and villas, which is the Italian name for country homes. Each property was walled in by stuccoed rock walls and nicely and elaborate iron gates gave ac cess to them. passed imposing cypress, until we reached the impressive man-, sion of my sister, with its mar- ! ble stairs, windows railings and ; and door facing3" and marbled ornamentations and monuments. j The rest Was of light brown-tint-' ed stone work with the excep-j tion of frieze work underneath j the roofing that was painted in I fresco panels showing the differ-! ent industries of that section by ! a mass. Red Men Face Problem ol Existence as Whim for Their Stuff Goes. f':iss Luke, Minn.—T>ntne Fashion who, ever since the Indians relinquisher tlielr land, lias mulled upon I lie red men, milking tlielr olmrnoteristic crea tions popular with the white brethren, now is frowning upon the offerings ol 'the .dexterous tribesmen. Dr. VV. TS. Heugerty, superintendent of I lie Ojitnvu.v sales agency, says that tin' Indians’ contributions lo cttrio col lections, such as beaded tilings, blank- els. lace handkerchiefs and miniature birch-bark canoes, must tie revolution ized tet furl her capitalize the modern while mail's passion for novelties. The superintendent blames fashion alone for tile complicated situation which the agency,• promoted by the Episcopal diocese of iHilulh, now is Hi tempi lug to solve by teaching its In dian proteges that, to continue in the bloodless fight, against the high cost of living, they must eater to the fantastic whims bestowed by custom upon their while neighbors. Sales Are Almost Nothing. Tn years past, according to Doctor Heagerty, the Indian, or rather his squaw, found a ready market for the wastepaper baskets, work baskets, miniature ennoes and other trinkets which they made with their own hands. Rut now fashion decrees that it Is no lunger correct to have these curios In sight around the house, so sales have fallen to virtually nothing. OJIbwuy women also make exquisite ■ point-lace handkerchiefs which for merly brought fancy prices, but cus tom holds that they are no longer in style,, so these one-time popular orna ments go a-begging, says the superin tendent. “Another conflicting angle,” Doctor Heagerty continues, “concerns the bendwork on lings, moccasins nnd chains done by Ojibway women. The cost of glass now is so high and the quality so Inferior that beadwork can not lie done at a profit. “And, the worst of nil, the Indian, deprived of ids tribal customs by the advance of civilization, cannot under stand all of this. Jt is especially dif ficult for them to turn their talents to other channels.” The problem was revealed to mission workers during the first year’s opera tion of tlie OJIbwuy sales agency. This agency was established to help the rapidly diminishing tribesmen to bridge the gulf between themselves and the white man’s civilization by effecting ■'an economic and moral reformat ion." The church would nbollsh the old ,trn<liiu5»postS, whereby the Indfnn re- exchange for his offerings iy' food, tobacco nnd the necessi ties of life, and would obtain cash for tlielr products. ' / l.

This, it Is lipfeil will Enable them to learn the true money, so that 10 yiTtiA'inter when they, accord ing to law, are no longer government charges, they will lie able to provide for themselves. During tlie period of transition spe cial attention Is being dlreeted to the large field for harvesting wild rice nnd making maple sugar, for which there always Is u ready pinrket. “But this work has been hampered by cruel obstacles, for last year the maple sap was scarce—In fact there was not enouglt for the Ojibway fam ily.—hut tlie wild rice crop was My heart was beating quicker at the thought of soon seeing my only sister, living, again after such long timey She, at whose hands, U in my babyhood had received innumerable kindnesses and who had mothered me many a time. I had lost my mother when an infant only two arid a half years old, My nephew was still calling for his mother while he and the servants were hunting for her. My children were refreshing themselves and viewing the house while I and my brother were going through the garden in search of my sister. Finally, I heard my dear sister’s voice coming from the farther end of the garden and saying in ian, with its quick darting motor boats, peaceful sailing boats and fishing smacks. The only regret was the reali zation that our stay was so brief but my sister solicited the prom ise of a return soon and a long stay before the departure for America. We all agreed to that and the children also, as they by this time had themselves fully befriended with their cousins and their friends. Only too soon we went to the station again to board the train for Milan. (To be continued) The increasingly beautiful vines, and the beautiful sections- these all continued to heighten my happiness until our carriage baited at the huge and massive' wrought iron gate of my sister’s place. My nephew was by this time frantically calling for his mother. No response. He open ed the gate and we wandered through the terraced garden, through a profusion of flowers, vine covered walls, under palms, alacies, past huge gray, green and striped aloes, some of which were eight feet in circumference; pas-ecKall kinds qf casteas with their different kinds of stemmed leaves and shapes of flowers; under stately and rare conifers Italian, “Praise LJod, praise God” It was not long before we held each other in our arms only to be unclasped when she embraced I each of my daughters, that had | by now hurried’to us and my I sister was talking to them, j,n overflowing happiness, in Ger- > man and English, saying how glad she was that we came and surprised her and , that she had seen from her window, our ship traveling through the ocean. She then ordered refreshments brought out under the huge palm trees and I was surprised at how cool it was there in the shade in spite of the fact that it was about four o’clcck in the after noon and nearing the end of June, and the sun shining bright ly outdoors. As we sat there listening, re counting and exchanging mem - ories, I could -not help but ad mire Ihe-vvottderful views of this gu-den the world.

O Three Famous Lakes T.lie famous Lakes of Killnrney are tlirve connected bodies of water, one of which is about n milo nnd n half front the town of Klllnniey.

To Clean Rusty Steel Busty steel ornaments, fire irons and the like may be cleaned by being rubbed well with swee.t oil, enough of tlie oil being allowed to remain on tlie article to soak in for some time. Courtesy’s Great Value Courtesy is a science of the highest importance. It Is like grace and beauty In the body, which charm at first sight, and lead us on to further intimacy. Envy Well Defined Envy is a littleness of soul which cannot see beyond a certain point, and if it does no' occupy the whole space feels itself excluded.—Haziitt.
