ROYAL ROAD TO SUCCESS.
In England It Lies Through Private
Secretaryships.

If there is no royal road to success
in life in England good substitute
for it is to start the journey in the

GADDING. GIRLS IN KANSAS.
What William Allen Whites Paper
Has to Say to Their Mothers.

The mothers of this town have had a
lesson-but it doesn't seem to have
done them any good. There are just
as many girls gadding around town
after school now, getting their mail
from private boxes in the postoffice, as
there were ten days ago. Two years
ago the Gazette went after the mothers
of Emporia for neglecting their daugh-
tiers, and the result was that half a
dozen private mail boxes were discon-
tinued and a lot of little girls that
were in the habit of gadding too much
were kept in for a time
Those girls are now developing into
fine young women. but another crop
of gadding girls has come on. and the
Gazette hopes no ones modesty will
be shocked by saying that these little
hussies ought to be spanked good and
red. They are between fourteen and
seventeen years old, and are just so
everlastingly boy-struck that they
can't sit still. If their mothers knew
the type of boys and men-young hui
man pups-these girls are running with
their mothers would throw fits.
But their mothers know nothing of
the situation. They think their little
girls are so sweet and pure that moth
ing can harm them. The truth is that
these children are made of the same
kind of mud that we are all made of.

TEMPERAMENT OF LEO.
Simple Tastes, Caution and Decision

ROME, July 6.-The pope was al
ways man of extremely simple tastes.

CAUTIOUS temperament, curiously COM
p!ned with power and unhesitating de-

merous magnificent suites of the Vati-
can, a few simple rooms containing
little beyond absolutely necessary ar
ticles. ca
His bed stands in an alcoye sena-
rated from a larger room by curtain
hanging gracefully over marble col
umns. Above the bed is a picture of
the Madonna and child. Beside it is a
prayer table surmounted by crucifix.
A WARDROBE against the wall faces the
ped, and between the latter and the
wall is couch. The rest of the room

times less experienced. And their
mothers let them CAD Commercial
street after school and flirt with all
kinds of men, and then their mothers
wonder how the devil got them and
think the girls must take after" their
father.
There are just two things that will

is plain clothes and the other is home

wearing.
little girl with too many and too
costly clothes on her back gets self
conscious and vain and loves admira-
tlon-and you grown-up women know
the next step. A simple, pure minded
girl who has q place in a home, home
work and home duties, has her heart
there, and no boy can steal it, Only
when maturity comes and a real man
comes and a real affair of her heart
comes will such a girl leave home,
and then only after hearaches and
heartrendings. But a girl whose only
place in the home is at the table and
in bed won't love that home.
Work makes things sacred. The child
whose home memories are not hallow-
ed by work, who is not needed and does
not feel the need. will not love home.
And if she doesn't love the home of
her girlhood. she will love no other.
She will go anywhere for anything.
Home will mean nothing to such a
woman, and if she is respectable she
will only lack the opportunity to be a
bad woman, and is good only through
circumstances or by the necessity Of
an ugly face. She will curse any man
she marries.
The mothers of this town who are
responsible for the girls who CAD Com
mercial street should stop and think
what they are doing. These girls are
no longer children. They are at the
impressionable age. Where will you
have their impression come from
from the riff-raff of the streets or from
home? 1t is for the mothers of this
town to settle the question-Emporia

Our Ears Always Growing.

The systematic examination of more
than 10000 pairs of human ears in
England, France and also in this coun-
try has resulted in some exceedingly
interesting conclusions. For one thing
1t has been ascertained that the ear
continues to grow in the later decades
of life-in fact, it appears never to stop
growing until death.
1t may have possibly been noticed
by persons of an observant nature that
the ears of elderly people are much
larger than those of the middla-aged.
A woman who has small, shell-like
ears at twenty years will be apt to
have nsedium- sized ears at forty years
and larger ears at sixty.
Just why ears should go or growing
year after year when noses, feet and
hands do not, is mystery which sci
ence has not yet been able to explain.
There are good many points about
ears that are instructive, their shapes
being markedly persistent through
heredity.

present pontificate were specially
memorable, chiefly through my inter
course with the holy father. who was
always most kind. 1t was impossible
not to be impressed with his exalted
and courageous spirit and the loftiness
of his mind
AS to his ability to reach Rome in
time to participate in the election of
a successor to Leo, he said:
Everything will depend upon the
time of the pope's death. If he should
pass away at such a time as will en-
able me to catch steamer at once. or
within a day, l should be able to make
the journey within the prescribed time
without difficulty. If nothing interfered
l should be able to reach Rome in nine
days. and that would be sufficient. The
conclave must begin to sit within ten
days, but. even if 1 did not reach the
Vatican until eleven days, should still
be in time, as there would be the al
lowance of one day of grace. Thus
everything depends upon catching the

Knocking off" time had arrived yes
terday afternoon for the ringers at
work on a big derrick being built at
Ninth street and Gowanus canal,
Brooklyn, and John Marshall and his
mate, Billy Smith, sixty feet up in
the air, were preparing to descend from
the structure.
Guess I'll load up for a smoke first
said John, taking out his pipe filling it
with tobacco. Got a match, Billy?"
Billy fished a match from one of
his pockets and John reached over to
get it. He leaned over too far, lost his
footing, and went whirling out into
space.
He's a dead one for sure" groaned

away his eyes. 1911
Men ran from all directions to where
Marshall had fallen, expecting to find
him lying there lifeless. To their as
constituent he was standing up in a big
pile of sand on which he had alighted,
rubbing himself and looking anXiously
about him for something.
Darn it," he observed annoyedly as
they came up to him, 1--we lost my
pipe"
Marshall's fellow workers, who had
wasted lot of fear and seemed to
wish for some justification, insisted
on Summoning an ambulance from the
Seney hospital, but when the surgeon
arrived he found that, except for a
slight bruise or two, the man had es-
capped unhurt. Marshall then re-
sumed the hunt for his pipe.-New

LAWSON SUES FOR
WAGES AND PROFITS
Butte G Boston Consolidated Mining
Stock Figures in the Case.


BOSTON, Mass, July 6.-Thomas
w. Lawson filed in the supreme judi
cial court today his declaration in the
suit he has brought against the Bay
State Gas company of Delaware, for
$1,736,000.
Mr.. Lawson declares that during
1897, 1898, 1899 and 1900, he, at the
request of the gas company, made in
vestments in the shares of the Butte
& Boston Consolidated Mining COM
pany under an agreement that he
should be paid for his services and
should receive one-half of the net
profits resulting from the transaction.
The plaintiff alleges that this agree
ment has been violated and that the
company now owes him $386,000 for
expenses, stocks of market value of
100000 and his share of profits
under the agreement, amounting to
$4,000, and intEHest from Jan. 1, 1900.

NEW YORK, July 6. = The entire
Catholic people of America and the
world will go in mourning should the
pope die. Every church. mission and
chapel will be draped in the papal
colors, decked with black crepe, and
prayers offered. Immediately on the
official communication from the apos-
tolic legation at Washington telling of
the pontiffs death, archbishops will no
tify their suffragan bishops, the bish-
ops their pastors and the pastors their
focks.
A day will be set apart for a me-
mortal mass. Every church, chapel
and mission in America will have this
memorial service. Certain prayers will
be offered daily, the service to con-
clude with benediction. This service
will be continued every day until
new pope is elected.
In the monasteries, especially those
of the more rigid orders, such as the
passionists, benedictines and the
Trappists, a strict fast will be observ-
ed until the new pope shall have been
