The Decay of Kings

Europe is bit worried over matter that seems trlv
ial when compared with international disturbances.
1t that lot of princengs getting in an extra
large stock of wild oats and determined to throw dis
credit on the king business.
One of Them who has recently assembled throne has
given his people chill by knightng stabekeeper
Another one, just at good spanking has fought two
dues accumulated choice assortment of debts and bad
habits and has announced that he will make things simply
howl when he gets close to the royal money chest
Still another sought pleasure in such degrading forms
that he given the royal boot where would do the
most good and fled to Paris There he shocked the
Parsans by his profgacy which good deal like the
devil being too tough for the boomess pit There are
plenty more that can be put in the list.
Well, what does the world expect? We reap we SOW.
The good old rules make exceptions when they strike
royalty.
There not to exceed three thrones in all Europe
which normal men women seated.
Intermarrage, high living, bad habits and popular
superstition that person having blue blood in his or her
scrofuous system be denied pleasure matter how
insane, mentally and physically weak spneess, and in
some degenerates
There mighty little encouragement for the rising gen
Grafton of princes who might possibly think Of growing up
clean and high minded.
In Europe, humanity shouts, Good the king
even that king be leper by the acts of his ancestors
and fostered by his own habits
No, it isn't pleasant to think about what is coming to
future generations in Europe

wormed out of them and her lot was
vastly improved.
Others suffered like the italian
child. Bertha Barout, y, lost the
sunshine out of her childhood when
it was bartered away for $40 year.
She is from Tripoli and was brought
to this free country to make back
that $40 a year and pay dividends
upon it. Her Lessee was George

the house. He found that sufficient

moaning and fevered. At that time
a hospital might have seemed para
disc to her. There were some quick
reforms when the superintendent of
compulsory education took hold of
the case. Her foster parents were
allowed to keep her only upon pledg-
ing that she should be relieved of
hard work and allowed to attend
school The case Is being watched
to see whether it will be necessary
to send this child toiler to public
institution.
In the many square miles of Chi
cago teeming with human beings 1t
is feared that even more cruel in
stances of child enslavement exist,
concealed by the babel of tongues or
the muteness of fear and ignorance.
Those who have the means and nihu
to emancipate child slaves have now
more than ever an incentive for re-
newed activity 1t is suspected here
that similar cases exist In other cities

afford, you will spoil her.
If you want to see her dashing
around with a bull pup and diamonds
while you wear a wrinkled brow and
patches, do it. BIT remember as she
sails past you that you have no one
but yourself to blame.
Some husbands are big enough
fools to be proud of a strutting wife.
They love to see her sparkle, while
they become gray and seedy They
point her out as she rustles by,
meanwhile pulling the rags from a
worn out cuff
The man who does this is not be-
ing fair to his wife. He is doing
her lifelong injury.
He Is robbing her of the delight
Of loving him.
He is turning her friends against
her.
He is setting her up for ridicule.
He is making fool of her
Few women can resist the desire to
crafty their love for pretty clothes.
You knew it when you denied your
self suit that she might have a
lace scarf.

By and by the worm will turn. You
will feel abused and neglected. When
that day comes remember that you
are to blame. You, 1t was, who SET
your wife upon a pedestal.
When you kneel before her throne,
holding up the gold that has broken
your health and sharpened your
knees, don't blame her.
The man that crawls around in the
dust beneath a woman's feet may
keep on crawling.
If you love her and value your own
and her happiness let her do her part
Tell her the truth when the cash runs
low. Don't be a weakling and GO
a-blubbering to borrow enough money
to buy the hat she wants.
Give your wife what you can af-
ford, honestly. Give it freely and
gladly. But he be frank with her;
don't conceal from her the empty
purse.
Don't make a queen of your wife
until you can afford to be her king.
There is not a woman on the face
of the earth who will love you after
you have made yourself her slave.

Special Correspondence of The Press.
CHICAGO. Aug. Child slavery
has been unearthed in Chicago. Little
children have been sold into life
of drudgery or worse, according to
local truant officers. At any rate the
revelations are such as to make
hearts ache.
Katy Bigini, II, was born in Alb

whom? For the man who had bought
her. And bought from whom? Her
father. For 500 her childhood had
been snatched from her. No matter
what can be done for her now she
is doomed to live without having

Katy's father in Sicily was very
poor. To him 500 was an induce

of a stranger to be his mental. Her
brother was sold. too, as part of the
bargain. He was two years older.
Their new 'owner" brought them to
this country, where he lost no time
in making them earn their daily bread
and part of his. Katy was hired out
to do housework-farmed out. She
washed, scrubbed, tended babies, and

away to a corner and try to rest.
Her owner would come regularly and
get her wages and grumble because
she wasn't growing faster. Had 1t
not been for a public truant officer
Katy Bigini would still be fighting
the battle of life for adult masters.
But when excuses were attempted for
not sending the child to school the
