KANSAS CITY CONVENTION.
The Y. M. Q. A. in All its Glory-The Al
 kansas Delegation.


 KANSAS CITY, Mo, May g.
 The grandest sight to be seen in America to-day Is that of the assem- bly, of Young Mems Christian Asso- citation workers iD the magnificent Calvary Baptist Church, of Kansas City. From the lofty gallery of that edifice it is indeed inspiring to look down upon the 500 earnest workers in the interest of the young men of America and other mighty nations. It is not at all "school. boy" look ing set, but as one of the local papers aptly puts it, "some of them have grown old in the good works harness, while others are downy of lip and chin. To hear the singing of the delegates, mingled with the voices of the mighty concourse of visiting friends and spectators, as they peal forth the words of some old and familiar hymn, is worth the trip, no matter how far one has to come, and the earnest prayers that go up to God bring the hearts of all nearer to the blessed Master.
 As the sessions of this, the twenty ninth international convention of Young Mems Christian Associations, advance and progress to- wards the end the meet ings and discussions grow more and more interesting, and the men seem more thoroughly consecrated to the work than ever.
 This morning that most important question as to where the next con- vention should be held was decided in committee in favor of Indianapolis, Ind., over it's most vigorous com petitors, St. Paul and Minneapolis. This decision especially pleased the Arkansas and other Southern dele gations, as now the next convention will be held "nearer home." Nor has Arkansas been without honor in this great meeting. MT. John Ayers has been placed on the com mittee on resolutions and MT. H. P. Edmonson, of Little Rock, was this morning made one of the corresponding members of the international committee. The call for funds for this committee was most literally responded to, something between $50, 900 and $40, 1000 being subscribed between 12 and o'clock to-day among the delegates present and absent ones who authorized lib- eral subscriptions all the way from $2000 down to S25 for year 1S91-2 People in the North and East recog- nize the importance of the work and subscribed promptly anu liberally. The West and South also aided materially; the representatives of the Little Rock association were sorry they had not author ity to contribute Little Rocks full share.
 Arkansas is further represented on the floor of the convention by Mir. Daum, general secretary at Fort Smith, and w. w. Locher, secretary of the Pine Bluff association.
 The delegates have been most warmly received, and all of Kansas City is at their disposal, the business men especially welcoming them. Last night an elegant reception was rendered by the Commercial Club, in the magnificent Board of Trade building. The wise merchants here thoroughly appreciate the value of the Young Mems Christian Associ- ation. .-Arkansas Democrat Cor.

SHE WAS AT WATERLOO.
The Last Man is Getting Scarce and
Now Comes the Last Woman.

People frequently hear about old
Waterloo men," but Waterloo
women are undoubtedly rare. There
exists, however, in France, Mime. de
Variola, who nursed wounded soldiers
ON the great Belgian battlefield, and
traversed the historic plain on the
night following the memorable
fight which sealed the fate of
the First Napoleon. Nine. de
Variola lives at Nantua, in the
Department of the Ain. She is ninety
eight years old, having been born in
March, 1898. Her father, M. Carpan,
who had been employed in the house
hold OF Queen Marie Antoinette, emf
grated to Belgium during the great
revolution and bought the demesne
near st. Amand, which contained
within it's inclosure the Bry Windmill,
one of the old landmarks of Waterloo.
Madame de Variola, who still retains
all her faculties, relates that on June
II, 1915, her father took her and her
sister to the windmill. While they
were there Napoleon entered with an
aide-de-camp and began to survey the
country round through a telescope.
take them away, as great battle was
to be fought near the place
on the morrow. Neverthe-
less the family remained in the wind
mill and saw some of the fighting
next day Balls and bullets fell on
the roof of the building, and towards
evening party of Prussians entered
the place, one of them-an officer
remarking that it was all over with
the French. Shortly afterwards this
officer returned to the field of battle,
and had not gone far before his legs
were shattered by a cannon ball, At
night NJ. Carpan went out with his
children and assisted the wounded
who were mostly French. Nine. De
Variola's husband was a Spaniard,
who was once wealthy, but died poor.
His widow is not too we'll off in her
old age. She was formerly befriended
by the Empress Eugene, but she is

Another "Journarr Fake.

The Journal gave its readers q
''fake" observation-disclosures that is
nothing unusual. 1t told them that
the city authorities were in conference
with the Bayonne officials with view
to renewing the contract by which
Bayonne gets it's water supply from
this city. The News knew that such
a conference had been proposed, but
it also knew-as the Journal should
have known also-that major
ity of the Jersey City off
cials interested were out of town.
and that the conference could not be
held-that it had, as a matter of fact,
been postponed until next week. As
a consequence THE News did not
fool its readers with false informa-
tion. The Journal shouldn't be so
fond of taking things for granted. 1t
is good idea for a newspaper to send
out reporter occasionally to find out
what is really going on in the city.

Manners of Children.


One of the serious mistakes made
by mothers in training their children
is in supposing that careful habits
can be cultivated in careless surround
ings. A ragged or worn carpet, so
little valued by the mother that
grease or ink spots can be left on 1t
without causing comment, may be-
come a moral calamity. Tying the
child up in a bib, and giving iJ
liberty to spill its food when eating,
is responsible for bad table habits in
many men or women whom we meet.
A child who is made to eat its food
carefully, in a room where the fur
nishings are respected, where q pen
atty will follow carelessness, natur-
ally acquires CAREFUL refined manners.
Many mother spends more time re-
pairing damages-the results of care
less habits, due largely to the furnish
ings in the dining rooln-than she
would need to spend in setting a table
carefully and keeping the room in
order, SO that its order and neatness
commanded the respect OF the chill
dren.
The ounce of prevention is worth
several pounds of cure in the training
of children, and it is pity that the
ounce of prevention is not admins
tered in the infinitesimal doses neces-
sary in early childhood, rather than
in the radical doses necessary to over
come neglect in matters that are never
minor-for manners and habits mark
the man. A man may be a moral man
and eat with his knife, but he would
be a more valuable man in the COM
munity if he recognized the uses for
which the knife was designated and
applied it only to those uses. Chris

Chicago "Society" Must Be Queer
We thought that the Chicago iron
man made mistake when he allowed
his daughter to marry a man named
Rust. But now it is reported that the
marriage has been annulled at the
suit of the groom's father. 1t is also
reported that Mrs. Rust, while still
Miss Potter. had an adventure with a
newsboy named Dunnivant, and in
order to break off the affair the boy
was sent to Jail on trumped-up
charge of theft. If this is true, the
Chicago Society for the prevention of
Cruelty to Children should take up
the boys case and bring the persons
engaged in the conspiracy to justice.
The woman in this case doesn't seem
to be u very valuable member of
society, if all these stories are true,
though in that case she would GER
tainly appear to be worthy of her
connections. But the allegations may
not be entirely correct, though the
fact that the young lady was on the
stage for a time in abbreviated gar
ments at least shows her to be of
adventurous disposition.
