CHICAGO, July 8 —Beppo Martino,
miner and adventurer; will embark
soon on his last “prospect.” Some
where, In the service of his native
Italy, he hopes to face the bullets he
prays will end a life no longer de
sired. His greatest dream has been
shattered, his life’s romance is ended.
Nothing matters. His heart is
•‘broken," he declare?.
The call to the colors following the
declaration of war against Austria-
Hungary by Italy came at an oppor
tune time—for Heppo.
In the breasts of the young men
crowding the offices of the local Ital
ian Consulate burns the fire of pa
triotism. They hear nothing but the
call of the flag and their King. With
Heppo it Is different. With him there
Is no enthusiasm, no smiles; not even
tears That he Is going to fight for
the flag means nothing to hlrn.
Behind his grlmpess, his silence, is
nothing but despair. He has lost what
he warned most in life. He has lost
his Rosa.
"My Rosa Is dend.” is h1s answer to
those who asked of his sorrow. "She
could not wait for me she marry an
other and Is gone away.”
Fourteen years ago Beppo came to
America to find the wealth which
would enable him to marry the girl of
his heart. He was 17 and alive vrlth
the hope. From Chicago he drift'd
to California. Someone had told him
that there was gold left In the moun
tains there.
In Ban Francisco he met an old
prospector. The two became friends
and then partners. Up In the moun
tains of Trinidad County they tolled
under the hot suns always inspired
with the gold seekers’ promise of to
morrow Five years went by and the
*nd of the rainbow was still unfound.
From California to Nevada thev w'ent
on the fruitless rjue & t from there to
Colorado and British Columbia.
Five years ago Beppo wrote to his
fiancee. He still hoped and asked her
to wait. Her reply came that she was
sailing soon for America, to live with
some cousins. Meanwhile Beppo and
his partner tolled. At times It was
hard to bear up, but gold Is alluring,
even in prospect.
There were no more letters between
Beppo and his fiancee. They lost
track of each other. At last, after
fourteen years of toll. Beppo found
"pay.” It was In Alaska. There was
not a great deal, Just enough for him
to sell out his interest for what would
seem like a fortune hack home in
Italy. He left the northlnnd with his
gold and his dream of Rosa
Then came the end of the dream.
Rosa had married and had gone bark
to Italy. She tired of waiting and,
being pretty, she had many suitors.
She chose one and forgot about Bep
po.
By ST. ELMO MASSENGALE.
Few people realize what a tre
mendous significance for Atlanta and
Georgia., in fact, the entire South, lies
in the effort that the local Klks are
making to bring the annual conven
tion here in 1916. When the Atlanta
delegation bids for thl«* convention In
Los Angeles they will be working to
bring to Atlanta the greatest conven
tion in the world, with its huge gath
ering of representative men from ev
ery nook and corner of the United
StaJes.
When the convention last met on
the Pacific Coaat. in Portland, 54,000
registered Klks v/ere on hand, and
325,000 visitors thronged the Oregon
city. This year the number will be
even greater, and 1916 should let'd
them all. In the natural course of
events, when those 325,000 visitor-®
came bark to their homes all over the
country, they talked about Portland,
J they discussed Its hospitality. Its civ
ic worth and its commercial advan
tages.
Thousands of people thus achieved
a first-hand acquaintance with Port
land. and they in turn transmitted
this Intelligence to thousands of oth
ers. until a large percentage of the
100.000.000 people of the United States
knew- about the city, generally or spe
cifically.
Newspapers Helped.
The majority of those who did not
hear about It in this wav at least at
tained some sort of knowledge of thf
city through the various lew'Spaper
reports of the gain event?* that were
recorded each day in fhe press of the
country. The amount of general pub-
llcit” thus derived Is evidently Jncal-
culable.
In addition to this, out of that huge
assemblage of business men. certain
ones necessarily invested their money
in Portland enterprises, spent thou
sands of dollars there In varied and
sundry wavs, and hundreds made
connections that either immediately
or ultimately brought them to live
Portland permanently.
It Is a similar tremendous under
taking that the Atlanta Klks are
pushing to a successful conclusion for
Atlanta for every indication is that
thev will accomplish it It will bring
representatives from ever State and
from every town of any Importance
In the United States. Already 1.50ft
delegates from Washington and Ore
gon are planning to charter a pnecial
bout an1 come to Atlanta en masse by
wav of the Panama Canal and either
New Orleans or Savannah.
Important to South.
Special trainloads of enthusiasts
will come from North, South, Fast
and West, and will go back imbued
with the Inevitable Atlanta spirit,

which they will disseminate among
.their families and friends.
So this Is a matter of extreme im
portance to the entire South, and es
pecially, of course, to Atlanta. It
means the maximum amount of pub
licity, money, pieirtlge and additional
population that can be derived from
a convention. Atlanta wants It, and
should have it. By past performances
along the same lines, she has proven
herself eminently capable of taking
care of a proposition of such huge
proportions, and she can and will do
it again.
In view of the material advantages
trat It will bring, it is to be sincerely
hoped that the co-operation of every
patriotic citizen will be had in bring
ing to a successful conclusion this
campaign to make Atlanta the most
talked-of city in America, as host
of the B. P. 6. K. convention of 1916.

PIRRUE. S. DAK., July 3— Blind
from birth, yet successfully passing the
bar examination before the State Su
preme Court, is the record of Ole H.
Flow. Flow Is a native of South Da
kota and has made his way regardless
of his handicap for many years.
Procuring a copy of Blackstone he

other young aspirant for the bar, and
they have worked together until both
passed the examination. Flow wrote
out his answers to the questions read
him by one of the court stenographers,
using an ordinary typewriter.
WASHINGTON, July 3.—A White
House romance has come to light. It
| centered around parental opposition
to the marriage of Miss Louise Fos
ter Lynch, of I^akewood, N. J„ 0 to
Thomas C. O'Sullivan, a Princeton
graduate, who was appointed to a po
sition on the official staff of Joseph
P. Tumulty, the secretary to the
President, a few months ago.
Mr. Tumulty got a telegram from
Mr. O’Sullivan to meet him at the
T'niqn Station here on the arrival of
a certain train. Mr. Tumulty was
there and greeted Mr. O’Sullivan as
he stepped from a parlor car. With
Mr. O’Sullivan was a handsome
young lady.
"Permit me,” slid Mr. O’Sullivan.
“Mrs. O’Sullivan.”
And the bride had her first expe
rience of riding in a motor car deco
rated with the crest of the President
of the United States.
Mrs. O'Sullivan is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Jasper Lynch, of Lake-
wood, who are said to be wealthy.
She met Mr. O’Sullivan two years
ago, when he was an undergraduate
at Princeton. It was a case of love at
first sight. But Mr. and Mrs. Lynch
did not look with favor on the desire
of the young people to get married,
according to the way the story was
told. This was made known plainly
to Mr. O’Sullivan, and he and Miss
Lynch did not see each other at her
home. They kept up a correspond
ence, however, and made prepara
tions for starting housekeeping. Each
bepan to gave for the future.
Miss Lynch, who was soon to be
Mrs. O'Sullivan, got permission to
pay an extended visit to friends in
New York. When she took a trunk
along It excited no suspicion. From
New’ York she telegraphed Mr. O’Sul
livan, and he went to New York on
the first train available. The mar
riage took place there.
When Mr. and Mrs. O’Sullivan
reached Wanhington they sent a tele
gram to Mr. and Mrs. Lynch at Lake-
wood informing them of their daugh
ter's marriage.

CAMBRIDGE, MASS., July 3.—
Harvard’s younges student, Louis
Keane, the 15-year-old freshman who
but recently donned his first pair of
long trousers, now can’t look a post
man in the face without blushing.
There’s a reason. It's—to tell the
sweet-scented truth—mash notes.
Since they started to come a few
days ago. Louis has received six of
them. Three were mailed from the
western part of Massachusetts. The
others were written by romantic
young maids In Georgia, Virginia and
Wisconsin. Two of the missives were,
accompanied by photographs of the
writers.
Young Keane, who is the son of
Thomas J. Keane, of Dorchester, at
tributes this showe rof affectionate
missives to a recent publication of a
photograph showing him in his first
pair of long troupers.
The first letter was received at the
Keane home several days ago. Need
less to say, young Keane read it with
mingled blushes and surprise, both in
creased, however, when the other five
notes followed with a rapidity that
would exceed even the fondest wishes
of a chorus girl.
What did he do with them? Sh!
The stove.

40 Miles to Reunion
WHITTIER. CAL., July 3.—To ride 40

a distinction, and to combine the two
is an achievement.
Mrs. Lydia Heald Sharpless, Whit
tier’s venerable centenarian, accompa
nied by her grandson and family, drove
to Yorba Linda to visit her granddaugh
ter, Mrs. Fred Johnson. Four genera
tions of the Sharpless family were pres
ent at the dinner. They were Grand
mother Sharpless, Benjamin Sharpless,
her son; Leonard Sharpless, a grand
son. and his two small sons, Homer and
Ralph.
Finds His Long-Lost
Brother On Street Car
NEWARK, OHIO, July 3.—Howard
Billman, of St. Louis, came to Newark
to locate his brother, Lyman V. Bill-
man, a street car conductor, whom he
had not seen for 39 years. He obtained
the brother’s address from a directory
and boarded a street car. He asked the
conductor if he knew where Lyman
Billman lived. The conductor was the
brother for whom he was searching.
They were separated when their
father and mother died.
