thing to die in Emporia; it is not the
everyday event in a mans life that
seems to be in New York.
Indeed, when a prominent man dies
or one whom we love, the mayor in our
town issues a proclamation calling on
the merchants to close their stores. and
the banks close their doors, at the hour
OF his funeral. And when Mr.. Soden.
who had run the mill for fifty years,
died last summer, though his funeral
was on Saturday, when the streets of
the town were crowded with farmers
who had come in to trade, the stores
and banks were closed at the very busi-
est part of the afternoon, and we slipped
on our Sunday clothes and left CONNER
c1al street and sat for an hour on the
lawn about his house, under the broad
trees that he planted half a century ago.
And while the prea cher preached from
the front steps of the porch Of the house
OF mourning, and while the choir
moaned inside the house, up town the
stores were closed and business stopped.
Yet Mr.. Soden never held an office in all
his life, and would be counted a poor
man in New York. But unless one con-
tends that the death of a friend Is
mere incident of the day, like the loss
of an old hat, we here in Emporia see
some things more sanely and more hui
namely than they do in New York,
where death in a house only interests
the servants next door.
"GAWK1NG" AT WEDDINGS
Here is another thing that we can
not understand in Emporia and that is
the attitude New Workers take toward
weddings in what Is known as society.
Our Gazette reporter says that wheE
he was in New York he saw a big
crowd gawking in front of a church.
policemen had to fight the women
back to keep them off the side-lines;
and he found that these women-well-
dressed women, perfectly proper wo-
men, so far as he could see-and he
has done society on the Gazette for
three years, and ought to know-wo-
men, he says, who looked to him as
though they might be coming home
from the meeting of the bridge whist
club at Mrs. Cleaver's or Mrs. Lakin' s
were jamming and pushing and
showing to get a sight of the bride and
groom and the wedding party as they
came out of the church. Would they
do that in Emporia? Well, hardly. The
Emporia way for those who are not
invited to an important social affair
we call such gatherings functions"
in the GaEette-is either to stay at
home and sniff at it, and call each 9TH
er up over the telephone-which al
ways leaks-and laugh at the proud
ones, or to give another party the
same night. Never would Emporia
women riot around a wedding to
which they were not invited. They
would die first.

Americas, with a population of 500,
lies ten miles northwest of Emporia
When an Emporia man goes to Ameri-
Gus for a day he does not put on his
good clothes. He has seen Americas
men dressed up in Emporia, 81 opping
and attending the county conventions.
and he is astonished to find these men
whom he has kown dressed up for
years stubbing around in their old
clothes. But when the Emporia man
goes to Kansas City. he puts on what
he calls his trotting harness, and there
he meets Kansas City men in their
everyday clothes. Kansas City men
dress up to go to Chicago. and Chicago
men put on their fine raiment to go to
New York, but on the streets of New
York the men who naturally are wear
ing their everyday clothes seem
faultlessly dressed to US Westerners
who appear to have slept in oUS every
day clothes. that we gasp as we wonder
how the New Workers must look when
they go to London!

LIVED ON PuTRlD HORSE MEAT.
French Miners Existed in Shaft for
Twenty DAYS.


Lens, France, March 31.-The disas-
ter at the Courrieres coal mines had
a startling sequel during the day when
thirteen miners were taken out alive
after having endured twenty days OF
entombment The story of the sur
vivors disc)oses that they lived for
many days on putrid horse meat amid
total darkness and in the stencil from
scores of decaying corpses. The pres
ence of human flesh would speedily
have forced the starving met to resort
to the last desperate extremity if they
had not been rescued. The survivors
were sturdy young miners from seven
teen to twenty-five years of age except
their leader, Henri Nemy, who is
thirty eight years old All show the
terrible effects of their experiences,
being emaciated, exhausted and nearly
blinded. Their rescue caused tenn
porary nervous lucidity during which
they greeted their relatives and
graphically related their sufferings.
The doctors then enforced quiet upon
them, fearing the results of fever and
poisoning from their diet of decayed
horse flesh.
