A member Of the Methodist church,
an active supporter of the Y. M. c.
A., man who was extending almost
constant moral and financial >lpport
to his fe low men, makes his death an
event that is regarded in the light OF
public calamity. Mr.. Bur.
nett combined SO many strong points
for admiration that his friends were
legion. He was man of energy and
a gentleman of unusually good bust,
ness ability. He was faithful to the
interests of those with whom he was
associated at all times. and he did
more good in the community in a
quiet way, than was general y known
to the public.
William John Burnett was born Oh

dolph county, in the southern part OF
Illinois, on the Sth day of October
1855. He was reared as the son of a
prosperous farmer and was early i'm.
bued with the nobler ambitions of life,
Several years before reaching his ma
jority he engaged in the implement
business with Dickey & Co., at Spar
ia. He later formed partnership un.
der the firm name of Burnett & Sproul

that business successfully for two
years Mr.. Burnett was rendered and

MISSOURI TAXES MORTGAGES.
Several Constitutional Amendments
Passed in That State.

SEVERAL aSSIStlIultOIidt fATnSuOInSNIS
Passed in That State.
Apparently the voting on the adop-
ton Of constitutional amendments was
very popular at the election which has
just passed off. In Iowa the passage
of two amendments, one to hold con-
vention to revise the constitution and
another establishing bienn- al elections
were carried by substantial majorlLles.
1t also seems Missouri was in line
on the amendment proposition, in fact
they did better than Iowa, as an
amendment was passed in that state
authorizing the legislature to appro-
pirate sum of money not exceeding
$4,000,000 to pay the expense of max
ing an exhibit of the states resources
lat the coming worlds fair to be held in
st. Louis in 1908. Another amendment
was also passed by a large majority,
authorizing the city of st. Louis to is
sue $5,O00,000 in municipal bonds in
the aid of this fair. Still another
amendment which also passed, is an
act placing tax of 5 per cent on all
mortgages held in that state. Appar-
emily this amendment will cause quite
La furore among foreign monied men
who have loans in thai state. It is a
fact that several loan concerns who
have money loaned in Missouri, have
instructed their agent to call in all
loans and to make no further invest
ments until the matter shall have been
tested by the supreme courts of that
state.
A prominent banker who was seen
in this city in regard to this matter
said in his opinion this amendment
would also have a tendency to raise
the rate of interest in, that state, say
ing men with capital to invest would
look to other states wnere t ey would
only have to pay taxes on one end of
their mortgages which are classified
as personal property.

WOMANS IDLE TEARS.
The Modern Heroine of Fiction II
10 Longer q Weeping
Weakling.

What has become OF woman's tears,
idle tears? A cynical old bachelor late
ly remarked in the hearing of woman
that he wondered what had become of
all the crying members of her sex. He
said that he had not seen woman cry
in some years, and that, SO far as he
could see, there are just as many things
to cry over as there ever were, and just
as many women. He did not object to
the absence of tears; he only wondered
about it.
This thing has received attentions of
various kinds before now. 1t was first
noticed in the novels. The young wom-
an in modern fiction does not do nearly
so much weeping as she used to do. To
be sure, she has not always SO much
excuse for it. When a young lady was
carried away by fierce and determined
lover whom she did not want, and told
that unless she married him at once her
family and all her immediate friends
would be killed, there was really con-
siderable excuse for tears and swoons
on her part. This type of heroine -four
ished in the beginning of the present
century. She was followed by the hero
inc who cried as child does to get
something she wanted-and usually
got it, if it happened not to be the moon
or anything equally unattainable.
Sometimes she was young lady of
religious predictions and shed tears
over the SORROWS Of others, or over her

own religious sentiments. 1t has been
estimated by careful statisticians that
Miss Ellen Montgomery, heroine of
The Wide, Wide World" must have
shed at least five gallons. twoquarts and
one pint of tears in the course of her
adventures in two volumes. But the
young lady in the modern work of tic-
ton does not cry. If she is of pas
sionate nature she now and then bursts
into storm of sobs," but she does not
often do it, as old-fashioned people
would say, before folks" She is more
likely to preserve calm and more or
less uncomprehended silence. Another
type of modern heroine is the CHEEKY
girl who endures all her tribulations in
silence, or laughs about them, and is
the sunshine of the family circle while
her heart is secretly breaking. 1t must
be confessed that this type of young
lady would be considerably more to the
taste of the ordinary man than the old
fashioned type of fearful patience. The
mans woman'-courageo gay. toll
Grant and reserved as to her private
feelings-is coming to the front in fic-
ton, and this ideal is decidedly worth
studying by the novel-reading girls OF
to-day-Chicago Chronicle.

The Turk will solemnly cross his

The German ''lebe wohl'' is not par

it is less embarrassing to those it

The "auf wiedersehen" of the Aus

of farewell.
The Cuban would consider his good
by anything but cordial one unless
he was given good cigar. The South

"burying the tomahawk."
