When you fail to keep an engagement. at the right moment, when you come dawdling in five or ten minutes late, whether 1t be recitation, commit tee meeting or any other appointment, you have wasted what did not belong to you-the time of other and busy. folk. We prove that we can be pune tual whenever we catch train that is scheduled to leave the station at a certain hour Knowing well that trains do not await the convenience of passengers, or ocean steamers tarry at the wharf moment after the hour fixed for sailing, we are punctual if we are starting on a journey or a'voyage; ;. but we are much less apt to be punctu-t al, for instance, about entering church in season, or reaching friends home at the moment We were asked.
 To be late at dinner, as everyone knows, is an unpardonable sin, and when you are old enough to be dinner guests you will discover that you must be punctual then. Try to be punctual now. It is quite as easy to be little in advance of ones daily engagements as to be a little behind. Never allow yourself to be spoken of as the tardy Miss Emily, or the late Miss Alice, Pride yourself on being known as one who is as punctual as the sun. May say word about the start in the morning? If one dislikes getting up and dressing and being ready for breakfast in good season. and if she yields to her dislike, it is more than probable that she will lose time all day long. One never catches up with that half hour that was wasted in a nap after the rising bell had rung.
 The morning hour has gold in its mouth.

sERTHE cLAIcHE GUILTY.
French Girl Who Killed Gerdron to
 Testify of Police Graft,

French Gfrl Who htIfed GerorOn 10
 Testify of Police Graft.
 NEW YORK, March 7.-Amid scene of unprecedented uproar in criminal tribunal Berthe Claiche, the French girl charged with killing Emil Gerdron, whose mistress she had been, pleaded guilty to manslaughter In the first de- gree before Justice Davis and jury.
 It Is said that the girl. by virtue of an agreement between the district attor- ney and her lawyers. is to testify and lay bare the system of graft practiced upon women by dishonest policemen attached to the Tenderloin station and to the "vice squad"
 The entire courtroom was in tur- moil. and many of the women specta- tors tainted and added their hysterieai cries to the general uproar.
 The Claiche case had attained consid- erable notoriety through the disclosures it brought regarding the so called vice squad of the police department. Sev- eral policemen were accused by the defense of being mixed up in the mur- der of Gerlren. and the prosecution as- serted that q policeman held Gerdron while Berthe shot him. The girls story that Geriron had forced her into lead ing a life of shame that he might live luxuriousIy upon her earnings and that she killed him in s&f defense secured her much sympathy at first. but reve- latiOns in the courtroom destroyed most of 1t. The whole case was one of siekening disclosures of the under world.

He could not conceive of the condition arising under which the president would command him to take his family to the isthmus.
 He said again in reply to other ques- tions that he could see no reason why Mir. Wallace should not have been given consideration in regard to fam fly matters.

 "I suppose the old man could own the company if he wanted to. couldn't hel" asked Mir. Morgan.
 Well. I understand he has consider able capital" responded NIT. Shonts.
 It was brought out again that the concession was revocable at the will of the president and furthermore that it was not exclusive.

ing the Constitutional Amendment,
Though it Was Legal Before.
[From Mondays Daily.l

The constitutional amendment which
will be placed before the voters of
Nebraska at the coming election will
be published in at least one newspa-
per in each county of the state where
a newspaper is published, for more
than three full calendar months pre-
ceding the election, and will in every
way comply with the provisions of the
constitution of the state regarding the
publication of proposed constitutional
amendments for three months prior
to election.
The legality was made doubly sure
by the issue Saturday of extra edi-
tions of every weekly newspaper in
the state which is to print the amend
ment.
The extra editions were ordered
by a telegram from the state house,
received after noon, as follows:
publish special edition of this
weeks paper or supplement contain
ing constitutional amendment and is
sue it not later than today or Sunday,
to insure validity Of publication. Wire
answer"
Secretary of State Galusha sent
copy to most of the newspapers in
the state which are to publish the
amendment, early in the week and
most of the first publications were
executed Thursday or Friday. But
even if none of the first publications
should not come until August 10 it is
said on reliable authority that the
publication would be legal, because
the constitution provides that the
amendment shall be published once
each week for three months preceding
election, and it is a we'll established
fact that Friday, August 10, is in the
week beginning August G, and that
therefore the publication, beginning
August TO- would be legal.
State Secretary Galusha says thai
there would have been no violation OF
the constitution without the issuance
of extra editions August 4, but this
publication makes the legality doubl!
sure and those who would cast insin
uations upon that official are thus de
prived of campaign mud.

Pasewalk has played at Sioux City and

OFFICER AULI PARDON[D
BONESTEEL POLICEMAN WHO
KILLED "klD" ENGLISH.
DURING THE RESERVATION RUSH

At the Time of the Killing, a Special
Train Was Sent From Norfolk Car
ryine a Surgeon Employed by the
Gamblers, Who Raised $1,000.
j. j. Ault, the policeman at Bone
steel during the days of the rush who
shot and killed kid" English of Beau
mont, Texas, has been pardoned by
Governor Elrod of South Dakota and
released from the penitentary at
Sioux Falls, where he was serving
two-year sentence. News of the par
don is published this week by the
Fairfax Advertiser.
1t will be remembered that at the
time of the killing the gamblers at
Bonesteel raised purse of $1,000 with
which to employ a surgeon to try to
save the life of English and to prose-
cute Ault. A special train was made
up at Norfolk at midnight, carrying
DR.. P. H. Salter to the scene of the
shooting, but before the special could
arrive English was dead.
A mob was formed to lynch Ault at
the time of the shooting, but after
the rush had ended and things had
quieted down it was believed that
Ault would go free inasmuch as Eng
lish had belonged to the gang who Gre
ated such lawlessness at Bonesteel.
His sentence of two years in the pen
a surprise.
Concerning the pardon, the Fairfax
Advertiser says:
Governor Elrod yesterday granted
pardon to A. J. Ault who was SEN
fenced from Gregory county July II,
1905, for two years in the penitentiary
on charge of manslaughter. Ault was
acting as an officer at Bonesteel at
the time of the drawing for Gregory
county claims, and in handling the
crowd which was rough was too free
with his revolver, killing one of the
men he was attempting to arrest. A
mob formed at the time threatening
to lynch Ault, and he was got out of
the place and into Jail at Fairfax with
difficulty, and at the trial received the
two year sentence. Warden Parmley
reports that Ault has been one of the
TRUSTEES at the penitentiary, and the
pardon application is signed by ten Of
the jurors who sat in the case, and
by large number of citizens of Greg
ory county. The sentence allowed ac-
tion by the governor without applica.
ton to the pardon board, and his
action was taken on the petition, and
the prison report of Ault.
