SUNDAY CLOSING LAW
HOW GOV. FOLK ENFORCED IT
Saloon Keepers Of St. Louis, Kansas
City and st. Joseph Who Resisted

City and st. Joseph Who Resisted
the Law Lost Their Licenses.
Governor Folk set about to enforce
the Sunday-closing law, which has
been on the Missouri statutes forty
years unamended. He has control OF
the police boards in three frst-class
cities In Missouri-Kansas City. st. Jo-
seph and St. Lcuis-and also the con-
troll Of the excise commissioners there
who have absolute power to revoke a
saloon mans license at will. The Su-
preme Court has decided that the Sun
day-closing law is imperative against
every business except the saloon, and
the saloon men could not compel other
stores and shops to close because the
saloons were shut up. That weapon
was denied them. And when the order
came to close at midnight Saturday.
they closed.
The first Sunday throng Of drunken
men and women crowded the st. Louis
bridge coming and going to Illinois,
where liquor could be bought. The Sec
ond Sunday the saloons closed. Then,
Of them opened their back doors. Their
licenses were promptly revoked by the
excise commissioner. The throng on
the st. Louis bridge was not SO large
that Sunday. The third Sunday
which is the Sunday when Sunday clos
ing spasms generally cease, a few
more back doors opened. and Monday
morning the keepers OF those places
lost their licenses. There were q few
convictions also in court for violation
Of the law. The crowd on the bridge
was gone. The people were getting
used to the law. And from that time
on st. Louis. Kansas City and st. Jo-
seph saloons have been closed on Sun.

Wed in White House
Executive Mansion Has Been Scene
Of Many National Social Events
Especial Correspondence.)

President and Mrs. Roosevelt, In
announcing the engagement of their
Nicholas Longworth. the brilliant
young congressman from Ohio. add
another chapter to the romances OF
the historic white house.
Weddings at the white house are
of such rare occurrence that they are
recorded as great national social
events.
The coming marriage Of President
Roosevelt's daughter naturally recalls
former weddings at the white house
during the last fifty years. notably
the international marriage Of Nellie
Grant and Algernon Sartoris while
Gen. Grant was president. Happily.
the circumstances surrounding Nellie
Grants wedding are not applicable to
the courtship and the approaching
nuptials of Miss Alice Roosevelt. The
marriage OF Miss Roosevelt to MIR.
Longworth is not only heartily sane
toned by her devoted father, but Il
meets with the cordial approval of
the whole nation. Such was not the
case on Nellie Grants wedding day.
1t is understood that Miss Roosevelt
is to be married in the east room,
and that the ceremony will surpass
any event Of a similar nature In the
annals OF the white house, so far as
social festivities are concerned.
There have been many alterations
In the white house building since
Gen. Grant was president. but the
beautiful home life OF the Grants is
daily recalled by the natural Ameri-
can home atmosphere which Presi-
dent Roosevelt and his happy family
create. The home life of Gen. Grant
was somewhat similar to that OF
President Roosevelt. Gen. Grant
was devoted to his family and the
happiest moments OF his life were
passed In the sweet companionship of
his children. The pride OF Gen
Grants heart was his only daughter.
Nellie. and the outside world prob.
ably never knew, nor could 1t real
ize, how hard 1t was for him to give
her In marriage to the dashing young
Englishman. Sartoris. who subse
quently proved himself unworthy Of
the love Of the daughter Of the presi.
dent.

That nature is not without a latent

representatives of its kind. The truth
of this. however, could only be ascer-
tanned at the cost, we fear, of the crea-
lures life, for its armor-like shell
would make an investigation of its in
ternal economy hazardous, If not i'm
possible. The animal appears to be
about four months old, and measures
some two by one and three quarter
inches, the shell being possibly trifle
larger than would ordinarily be the
case. The two heads are nearly of the
same size. and as far as can be seen
are perfect in all respects. Its other
visible members do not exceed the 'usu-
al number, and it is probably not in
correct to conclude that the multiplicity
is confined to the heads. These do not
feed together. but do SO separately and
alternately, and appear. furthermore,
to be otherwise independent.

A Cause Cor Rerret.


When | was a bride i'm q new home
with little to do, encouraged my hus-
banG to allow his clothes and personal
belongings to lie about, as / had plen-
ty of spare time to pick them up and
put them away. A stranger in strange
neighborhood, time hung heavily on my
hands, so l welcomed the small tasks of
brushing and laying away in order the
garments left ON chairs and bed. He
was busy and | idle a great part Of
the time, so imagined myself model
wife and felt sorry for those men
whom l occasionally saw sweeping the
front porches or busting rugs for their
wives. | determined that my husband
should never be henpecked.
But years have brought wisdom, at
least in small measure. AS long as
clothes were new and no mending to
be aone, when little or no entertaining
took my time, while family cares were
slight and when time slept ON flowers,
my plan worked very well; but at pres
ent look back on those days and won
der where my common sense had flown
to. If any bride is making a similar
mistake let her take warning. 1t is so
easy to form habits and so hard to
break them up. The men whom I pitied
in ny ignorance were really only prop
erly trained when they sent their own
laundry downtown, brushed their own
clothes. put away books ard papers,
dressed themselves for church without
calling downstairs three or four times
for help. took a hand In household
TASKS in emergencies. and were amply
