DRUG STORE IN VATICAN.
Complaint of Italian Government
Caused Action of Pontif.

Rome, March 22.-The Vatican
drug store, which was established by
the late pope to supply the needs of
the 5000 or more persons who fora
the population of the papal residence,
has been closed by order of Plus X.
It was about twenty-five years ago
that the late pope asked the Broth
ers of St. John of God, whose special
line is hospital work. to open a drug
store for the use of the Vatican resi-
dents, the rooms were assigned for the
purpose opening on the court of San
Damaso.
In a short time, however. as the
packages addressed to the Vatican are
exempt from custom inspection and
duty, the new drug store was in a
position to undersell all similar stores
in Rome, and in consequence it got
many patrons who previously had
bought Of the city drug stores.
The brothers in charge took ad-
vantage of this increase in trade to ex-
tend their operations, and many spe-
cial brands of elfxirs and cordials We're
invented by them, which. being put
up in bottles bearing the Vatican
trade mark, found favor among Wis
itOrs and the Roman population, and
also received prizes for excellence at
several European exhibitions.
Recently, Plus x. learned that
liquors were sold within the Vatican
walls, and he ordered a stop put to it.
Brother Diodato, who had been in
charge Of the drug store since it's
foundation. was told of the pope's
wishes, and, as he resisted. he was
transferred to another convent, and
the Vatican pharmacy was closed for
ever.
It is said the Italian government of
f1cials. receiving complaints from OUT
side druggists regarding the competi-
ton in trade carried on at the Vatican
ana the Illegal sale OF liquors, were
instrumental in having the drug store
closed.
The pope received thousands of con-
gratulations in person and by mes
sage today-his name day-and cele-
brated mass in the presence of a few
intimate friends.
Later. he lunched with his sister.
and afterward he received the sacred
college in his library and thanked the
cardinals for their good wishes

PACKERS DISCHARGE BOYS.
Kansas Child Labor Law Is Enforced
at Kansas City.

Kansas City, Kan, March az
Twenty-Five boys. each under Il years
of age, were discharged at the Ar
mour packing house yesterday in
compliance with a state law passed at
the recent session of the Kansas legis-
lature, prohibiting factories and pack
ing houses from employing children
under IA years of age Fifty others.
boys and girls together, employed in
the plant were told to get certificates
that they are over IA years old.
They were employed principally as
errand boys. @. w. Tourtelot, gen
eral superintendent of the plant, said
yesterday it had been the custom Of
the Armour packing company to en-
ploy such young children only where
it could be shown that they were the
children Of dependent widows or of
very poor people
The Kansas law which compels the
discharge of the children requires
those applying for a position to have a
certificate from the board of educa-
ton or teacher where the child has
been attending school, or an affidavit
from the parents that the child is
over I 4 years old. If the child is
over IA years old and under 16 it
cannot be employed in any trade or
calling which "endangers its life, linn b
or morals" The penalty for violating
this law is a fine of from S25 to 500
or imprisonment in the county jail
from thirty 10 ninety days i ne law
has been in force since February Is
and the Armour Packing company is
making preparations to strictly COM
ply with It's provisions.
There is now only one boy under
the age OF IA employed in the plant
His name IS Louis O'Leary and he IS
the son of a widow with five children.
Louis is now y years old and has
been employed there since he was g.
He attends school during the week
and works at the plant Saturdays His
salary goes on just the same as though
ne worked every day. c. w. Armour
pays the boys expenses in school.
There are several, probably fifty
boys, employed around the plant under
the age of IT. Those boys have GER
tifcates from their teachers and all
the provisions of the law have been
are a few girls under the age of Is
employed in the plant. These have
certificates as required by law and are
employed in the labelling and packing
rooms. Girls under 16 years old are
not employed
Kan. say that they have no children
in their employ who are under IA
years Of age. One manager said:
There are few departments in
which children of such tender years
can be used to advantage, and we do
not care to employ them. Once in a
while a boy of IA or under is given q
place simply because he wants to
make his way and help support his
mother and brothers and sisters. but
even then we don't like to employ
them"
The new Kansas law for the aboli-
ton of child labor in factories meets
with the approval of workingmen
and there is little doubt but that It
will be enforced.

A FIFE's PATHETIC HISTORY.
How Maxwell Sanders, Even in Dis
tress. Helped the Sufferers.

The Clay Center Dispatch says be-
meath the picture of an old fashioned
fife: The picture herewith presented
is of particular interest when it's story
is told. It touches upon sorrowful
chapter in courageous life, one with
which practically all Clay county has
been familiar, though perhaps not in
detail.
Almost twenty years ago, September
10, 1885, to be exact, the little musical
instrument pictured here was sent to
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat from
Springfield (now Broughton), this
county by Maxwell Sanders, whose
death is still fresh in memory, with
this explanation:
Sickness in my family makes it i'm
possible to contribute money. l send
you this fife, purchased by me in
Hanway street, London, in 1852, while
1 was a member of the metropolitan
police of that city. Its chief value to
me lies in this: When weak and half
starved, during our grasshopper
scourge, my eyes failed and was IN
able to read I learned to play simple
tunes on it. so I could amuse my seven
motherless little children, and alleviat-
ing somewhat my own misery. Please
send it to the Merchants exchange,
that generous hearts may convert it
into dollars for the relief of the Lone
Star state"
1t was sent to the Merchants ex-
change as requested and there sold for
a fabulous sum. Then, with the COM
pliments of the purchaser, it was re-
priced by him for the balance of his
life as it had never been priced before
This was Max Sanders as his friends
remember him.
