A New York fnancier, in an idle
moment, was seized with desire to
find out how the income OF John d.
Rockefeller, the Standard Oil king.
compares with the incomes of the
monarchs of the world. So he under
took the task, and the result was
startling. The exact annual receipts
of Rockefeller are indefinite, but are
in the neighborhood of $3O,OOO.OOO,
and this amount is very nearly equal to
the combined incomes each year OF all
the crowned heads OF Europe.
The discoverer of this remarkable
fact figured the annual income OF the
rulers OF Europe as follows:
Gear OF Russia, $12, 600, 900; King Of
Prussia exclusive of his income as
Emperor of Germany, $3,852,77O;
Austro. Hungary's Emperor, $685.

of Italy, $2,S5S,OOO; Queen Victoria,

The Urban Spiders Web.

II would not advise the average
country girl TO 60 to the city," writes
Elizabeth b. Grannis in Success for
August. 1.-THE avenues open to girls
in large cities are more numerous and
remunerative than in the country.
City life also quickens mental activity,
and affords ambitious girls opportuni-
ties to acquire broader knowledge, and
to exercise diversity of gifts, which
most girls possess. Integrity and
strength of character is the main foun-
dation for any permanent success,
even with large ability or talent pos
sessed by girls seeking worthy careers.
An interesting, prepossessing country
girl with little or no money, and with
out family protection, is usually wholly
unprepsred to cope with the gilded
sewers and galvanized pitfalls to be
avoided or overcome only by high
principle and womanly tact. Statis-
tics, observation and experience have
proved that great many OF the girls
who come from the country to the
city without the strong safeguard Of
wise and intelligent training, make
sad attempts at reaching the goal they
seek. Armies of flippant, reckless
daring young women who come to the
city with high hopes plunge down to
ruin and desolation, and bring disap.
pointment with heartbreak to the dear
ones they have left, when, if they had
remained in the country they might
have builded helpful and happy
homes"

KISSES ARE HIGHLY PRICED.
A Kansas Schoolma' am Distributes Them as
Rewards Of Merit.

In Nemaha county, Kansas, Miss
Millie Daniels, who is described as un-
usually handsome, has adopted
novel means of rewarding the faithful
and well-behaved among her pupils,
and her plan has been approved by
the board of trustees, who have just
engaged her for another year. Miss
Daniels, whenever a student attends
school one whole week without being
tardy or absent, kisses that student,
whether male or female. If the stu
dent is tardy only once or absent once
she allows that student to kiss her.
All students who disobey this standard
are ruled out OF the kissing match.
The kisses are given and taken every
Friday afternoon. Needless to say the
young men do not play "hooky" on
that day.
There are sixty-five pupils at the
Wilson district school. Four years
ago Miss Daniels went there from Illi-
nois. She was a good teacher, but the
students, mostly boys, were hopeless
victims OF the "hooky" habit. Try as
she would the pretty schoolma'am
could not keep them in school regu-
larly. She arranged list of prizes to
those who attended regularly, but they
held no attraction for the country
boys.
Then she consulted with the school
board on the kissing question. They
were willing if she cared to expert
ment that way Some OF the school
board said among themselves if she
did adopt the plan they believed they
would start to school again. So two
years ago she adopted the scheme, and
it has worked we'll ever since. Speak
ing OF her unique experience Miss Dan
iels said:
"I do not think l am doing any
thing wrong in allowing my young
men students to kiss me as prizes for
obedience. Indeed, l think it is
great reform or should not practice
it. My pupils all respect me. have
good attendance. The patrons OF
the district like me, for haven't l just
been given another two years job? l
do not mind criticism from outsiders;
my thoughts are about my school,"

Kansas City, the action of the Indian
apolis Convention might have been
different, and he would undoubtedly
have driven off much support that
he has now attracted. He has thus
far kept the issue of Imperialism the
one issue, and he has thus also pre-
vented the Republicans from accom-
plishing their design to force the silver
issue TO the front. If he maintains
the attitude of his speech and his
silence he will not only retain what
he has gained but will continue to
grow in strength. Let us hope that
the manifest causes which have so OBJ
viously operated in favor OF Mr.. Bryan
will not be interrupted.
