They are delighted at the change in scene and over the prcspect of a new adventure.". The Daily Mail's correspondent at Italian headquarters under date of Friday, tells of the grave difficulties of the Italian defenders on the Tren- tino mountain frontier, where the same troops day after day are re sisting the enemy without oppor tune v for rests, while the Autro Germans, having greater reserve, assault incessantly with freli and vigorous troops.

CARPET FLOOR WITH SUGAR NE OATMEAL From Saturday's Dally. This paper made mention of r family in destitute circumstances where the father is constantly era ployed and making fair wages, the neighbors when the article appeared took things to eat, and for the children to wear, but it is net seem ed to be appreciated, for the goods were sat cn the Poor, and the children immediately began to open the packages and- rentier the oat meal and sugar over the floor, with the other things similar. This is a case where the authorities should step in and do something with these children for they are entitled to a better heritage, than to lie contin ued in such a condition. If the parents can not or do not care for them it is time some one else did There are plenty of good homes in the country tn:w, would hnd room for them, giving them the advan tages of a home and a good educa tion.

FRED WEGEIf EE LT0T IMPROVING From' Sat urd.'iy's Daily. Itc-ports from the bedside of Fred Wegener, state that h)3 condition does not improve, and he stays in an unconscious condition, and Iut rarely shows any signs of returning consciousness. For a moment day before yesterday he opened his eyes and asked regarding the market for May corn, then elapsed into uncon sciousness again. Dr. Updegraff e of Omaha, who has been called on the case, does not offer any hope of improvement, etill he says I would not say he would not get -.veil.! His condition seemingly har hut little to base hope upon. His injuries came about by his trying to stop a mule from passing out at the stable door, he grabbing it around the neck, when it swung around, throwing Mr. Wegener against a stone wall. striking his head with much force. THOUGHT WALKING GOOD FOR HEALTH From Saturday's Da!i. 5 estcrday a man or load of men with an automobile, droppod into Plattsmouth and got shaved, and was talking about getting a farm, when they ran across one cf the local real estate men, who was interested im- c-dintely, and said he had a farm for sale which was well improved, which he had for sale. The. traveler asked where the farm was and was informed that it was about six miles cn the country. Well just jump into ay car and we v.-ill go out and see it and I will bring you home again. They went, aud when they had arrived at the farm, the traveler cast a. glance at the surroundings and said, "Oh, I would not hae that place ta all." The argument grew warm, and the car was turned around driving back, until they arrived at the road running south from this city to Un ion, but several miles south of here. when the traveler said to our Real tor, "sorry, but I cannot take you back to town, I inn in a hurry, you v.ill lind a ride easily," and turned him int3 the road, notwithstanding his vigorous protestations. And he v alkcd home, too, while walking was good. Now to get him to try the same trip over you would have to give a guarantee bond for a dozen times the amount cf the cost of rending for a car to come after him.
