POPE CANNOT SEE VISITORS.
Aged Pontiff Suffering From Over
Exertion and Excitement.

ROME, March 5.-Dr Lapponi visited the
pope today and found him no worse, with
regard to symptoms of any special Illness.
The physician has forbidden any one to see
the pontiff, except the iatters nephew,
count Camille Pecci, who entered the pope 8
room as DR.. Lapponi left 1t.
The fact is that the pontiff's physical
prostration Is due to overwork and over
excitement, which, however, leaves his men
tai faculties perfectly clear. Therefore, DR..
Lamont thinks that a few days rest will
restore the pope to his usual condition. The
physician also hopes that the suspension of
audiences will induce the numerous pill
erims and notable persons who are now In
Rome to abandon the idea of seeing the
pontiff, and thus avoid causing the latter
further fatigue, which might place him In
serious danger.

Pity the Baby!
From the Chicago Post.

From the Chicago Post.
The editor Of the Medical Record declares
that the average woman of the smart set
thinks more Of dog than she does of
baby-that is. a baby Of her own-and he
ascribes this mainly to life in flats and the
demands Of society. While the statement
In general way may be open to question,
there is no room for argument when 1t is
asserted that a woman who lives in a fat
and goes into society has neither room nor
time for raising much Of a family.

If a girl works in private family her

At the private employment agencies one

Many Picnic Parties Being Planned
for Vinewood Park.


The opening Of Vinewood park was
great event to the people who enjoy pic
nfcs and who have been suffering all
summer for a place to fight the festive
chigger.
Since the food put Garfield and the
city park out of commission there
has been no satisfactory place within
walking distance of a street car line for
these joyous affairs which are the de-
light of the children and the summer
girl. Even the plutocrats who drive and
who scorn to patronize the plebeian
trolley have been somewhat at a loss
near Topeka are along the Kaw and
shared the fate Of the city parks. AS a
result Washburn camps and Martins
Hill have both been rather overworked
and the opening of Vinewood offered a
pleasing novelty.
There must have been fifty picnic
parties at Vinewood Sunday and there
were half a dozen Monday and more
today The parties We're all small, fam
lily or neighborhood affairs, with enough
children to discourage the race suicide
theory. Some of the women's clubs are
planning picnics at the park for the
near future and undoubtedly the Sun
day schools will also patronize the resort.
The employees of Crosby Brothers had
planned Il picnic for next Saturday
evening, row that the stores are no
longer kept open Saturday nights dur
ing the heated term, but it has been
postponed until the street railway COM
pany will have supplied more cars for
the company had Sunday to accommo-
date the crowds will discourage large
parties from using the park as picnic
ground for the present.

Why New Yorker Objected to
Harvest Work.

says A New Yorker who had been
several weeks in the harvest fields OF
Kansas was in town yesterday, and a
Globe reporter spent some time in find
ing out what is the matter with KAN
SEC
The New Yorker had never seen q
farm before except the kind on the
stage and his first disappointment was
the farmers daughter. He expected to
find a pretty little thing in short milk
maid skirts, like the chorus girls in
Pinafore, who went to her milking
singing blithely with a pail swinging on
her arm and a little Swiss apron on.
There were no soda fountains on the
farm, and one whole day he was with
out cigarette. On the whole, he found
every illusion too shattered to pick UP
when he started for home.
