Liustums, picture and sculpture gal leries, we directed our steps toward the ancient part of the city. wi re auxloiiB to see the Roman For um, the ColiBi-um, and the Manur tlne prisons where St. Peter and St. I'aul are Bald to have been Incare' i sumI. We made our way toward Piazza Venezia, the heart of ancient Home. The monument of Victoi Emmanuel first drew our attention. It Is one of the most magnificent art structures of modern times, coming to the people of Italy over one hund red anil fifty millions of llras. This monument overshadows ami divides the anrlent and modern Home. On the right of the monument there is a Htalrway leading to the C'apitoline Hill, whro yet stands the Senate Mouse of old Impel ial Home, from which place the destiny of the once known world was directed. It Is now called the Caliipaglln (or the place of Barrow . It Is so called because the record is kept on marble slabs of those who died heroiealy In de fense, of their country's cause. The Italian Senate still meets ill this building, castle or palace, as you may call it. It was hire that the poor, deluded Hlciul. the last of the Tribunes, hail hlms' lf declared ' dic tator." Later, when be levied taxes to meet the expenses or the munici pal fovenimenl he was stabbed to death and i! rugged through the streets of Koine ami finally burned to ashes.

Tbl6 place to this day is still called tne Tu'l'vian hock, and U is here that poi.'.ical traitors and other criminals w,;re hurled from the rock, among them the same Maul ma who, wall the aid of the gene, bad saved the capi tal. Under the hill a little to the north of the Septimus Severus inas s.'.e arch, lb the .Mamertine prison. ani.ru St. I'eter anil St. Paul were In carcerated, from that place history relates that St. I'eter bore his cross toward the Janicular Hill, and so heavy was It that finally, reaching where the Cathedral of Kt. I'eter now stands, then the site of Nero's circus, ! tind his guards he could walk no further, so that they crucified him then and there. There Is a little church built over the prison whlcn Is called St. I'eter Incarcerated. The little fountain from which I'eter took the water to baptize his Jailor la still there and Is In the center of the rocky floor. There are now steps leading to tne cell and electric lights Illumi nate the passage, yet It Is gloomy uioiigh to make you shiver. The lioman l-uruai is a few steps from the .Vamertiiie prisons, and an you look upou the great ruins you kt-k yourself, cr.li this be the Koitiiu that I read about; can this he the i put where, all Home was used to gather, where oralors haiungued the multitudes, where gladiatorial games were held and where Koinans voted their laws? From the ruins now leveled with the ground stood enor .,1 ..is buildings. It is here that a few years ago was discovered under the i ii ink Hie tomb of Romulus, aim Is attracting to it every visitor that cornea to Home. Also the rostrum f-.jm wilch .Mark Anthony delivered the famous funeral oration over great Caesar's body, and from the . .., j.! i' I'urm Ciceio spoke against Anthony, which speeches were the cause of bis assassination. Here al so I'llny, he who so graphically de scribed for us the destruction of I'ompeil and Hcreulnneum, as well an yulntiliun and many other law i yers. made their fame .and fortune on this platform. I Fipm the Human Forum then you go Ti the I'alatine Hill to see the f X. tees of the Caesars. When we I look upon It from the Forum, we are a little Inclined to expect much splen dor surviving, and once we climb up we behold a mass of rulna covered with grass and wild flowers and guarded by melancholy cypresses, those emblems of Immortality. This Is the smallest of the Kotnan hills. It Is, however, sovereign of them all, for In ancient Home It held the great est place from the earliest beginning until the decay of Home; a record remaining in the i'alatine. From the time KoinuluB built his hut there, to the end of the empire of the west, the I'aliitlne has loomed large In Unman hlslory, mid the very word "palaco" comes to us from the name of I'alatine. and slnco the early ceuti'jli'B a royal dwelling Is com monly called a palace. Of course we visited the Coliseum. This Is an Immenso structure all In ruins, a mute testimonial of the "felicity" ami "delight" of the Rom an populace of old. Titus employed twelve thousand captive Jews to build this elliptical structure, which consists of four stnrles and had a seating capacity of one hundred thou sand. Years gone by pilgrims were anxious for relics of the Collsseum and I'ope Plus V urged Ihose who wished them to galher anil take with them the dust, once saturated will) l,.e r yrcd blood. The Collsseum, the Pantheon and Hie Castle of St. Angelo seem to rise front the soil of Rome, Just as the vestigeB of some old but extinct race remains upon the earth to remind us nano Manufacturer s At Eilers Piano House,H6 Cass Street, Roseburg, Oregon ! 1 DOWN AND A Our Store Open Evenings Dur ing This Great Sale In e vvl Al39 1 frSS fWHi -Ii SIR ?
