"It was no more jaj Rome, degraded and fallen asleep In the sun among a heap of ruls, than Lincoln's Inn Fields Is." A short time before, while be was straining his eyes across the Campagna, a distant view of the town bad recalled London. This feeling soon passed away. He thought spring (he most delightful season for Italy. lie was again In Home In 1853; saw J. O. Lockhart, "fearfully weak and broken;" smoked and drank punch with David Roberts, who was painting that famous picture of Rome now In the Scottish National gallery.

The Union Pacific and the Oregon Short Line are doing everything In their power to relieve the coal sltua tlon In south Idaho, according to Secretary of State W. H. Gibson and State Treasurer Coffin, who returned Monday morning from a trip to Salt Lake, whither they went to look Into the coal matter, says the Boise States man. The officers visited General Traffic Manager Plaisted, Assistant General Superintendent Buckingham. All of the officers connected with the freight department of the Short Line promised to use every effort to divert coal to Idaho. "The Union Pacific has cut off the O. R. & N.'s coal supply," said Mr. Gibson yesterday, "and has purchased 10.000 tons of coal In Illinois for dis tribution to those points east of Rock Springs which have been heretofore furnished from thiB end of the line. I was Informed by the Short Line freight department that not one ton of Rock Springs coal Is being shipped to eastern points and that every ounce is being distributed in Utah and Ida- ! ho. "I was told by the Short Line offl j cials last Saturday evening that at that time they had coal enough to run the locomotives of their system for 36 hours and no longer. They had been : diverting their engine coal to south ! Idaho and to Salt Lake, until they J were themselves In serious dancgr of ' suffering from the famine. Three thousand tons per week are ! being shipped in from Colorado to ply the demand In Utah, and It Is now up to the operating department of the Short Line to bring the coal to this part of the state." Salt Lake last week was In even worse condition than Boise, says Mr. nihson. The coal famine there was "- "I and a great deal of suffering en !. It was only late last week that .

In Holland cows are to a certain xtent. a part ot the family, for one member of the family always sleeps lu the stable to watch, and often the place Is made a sort of family sitting room. The cow stable Is generally a large building, psved with brick, upon wnlcb the cows lie, straw being scarce. There Is a brick paved passage down the center, at one end of which Is a fire place, and the windows are covered with white curtains as dainty as those used in the bouse proper. Sometimes the entire family wiil gather In the stable In the evenings, enjoying the warmth of the fire and exchanging the talk of the day, while the cattle, always placed with thclf beads facing the central passage, chew their cuds and almost seem to enjoy, the human companionship, inese cows are seldom brown, most of them being' black or white or of the two colors mixed, and because of the fertility of the pasturage and the care taken In their keep they are capable of giving large yields of rich milk. In no place in the world are cows made as much of, and from the annual yield of but ter It would seem that the care Is not taken In rain. s s s so Santa Clans Says The OWL ;has the largest and most varied line of Hand-Painted Haviland, T. & V.

Like Same Fralta, Good Only For Their Flavor. Professors of dietetics tell us that the banana Is not, as many fruits are, a flavor and nothing more, but a food and a source of real nutriment It Is at once useful and delicious. It not only gratifies the palate, but supplies material for combustion and the main tenance of animal heat, while It also builds up the muscles and repairs the worn and threadbare nerves. The flour made from it In its dried state Is equal in nutritive value to rice. Dried and sprinkled with sugar, a form In which It has been recently Introduced In this country, the upstart banana Is, weight for weight, as nu tritious as the venerable fig. But It Is in the fresh state that the buuaua chiefly appeals to us. Its creamy succulence and delicate odor are Inviting, and Its pleasant sapor U a prelude to good digestion. Dependent as that sapor is In ethereal body, whlcb the coul tar Investigators have not yet been able to Imitate by chemical es sence, it 1 n subtle stimulus to all subsequent elementary processes. And thus It Is that the banana Is an end nently digestible food. No sense of oppression or drowsiness follows a meal of it, and a meal of It may be bulky enough.

Mr. Bennett said they traced the missing man to Wood creek, near Bal bnck's mill, and there lost the trail entirely. They have about concluded he Is under the Ice In Wood creek, since no trace can be found beyond that point. The man was familiar with the country and started from the home of his brother on Smith's pra irie. It seems Improbable that he could have been lost.
