The residence of, W. S. Summers
in the east part Of town was burned
EARL Thursday morning. The fire
originated in the roof and is sup
posed to have started from an en-

a short time before. The greater

the loss being covered lby insurance.
There was also 5000 insurance on
the house, which only partly covers
the loss.

promptly and intelligently. The
Bell service in connection with the
splendid service given by the local
system furnished our people with
the latest and best information OBJ
tainable.
There is one noticeable thing
about granitoid walks. They will
not absorb the gobs'of filth depos-

There are some tobacco chewers
in Laclede who actually put
hogs to shame the way they spit on
the walks. They seem to be lost
to all decency an, 2iiie, but rather
delight in leaving their mark of ,

Some Evening Reverles.

1 There is a charity that consists
in withholding words, in keeping
back harsh judgments, in abstain.
ing from speech, if to speak is to
condemn. Such charity hears the
tales of slander, but does not repeat
it; listens in silence, but forbears
comment; then locks the unpleas-
ant secret up in the very depths of
his heart. Silence can still rumor;
it is speech that keeps story alive
and lends it vigor. 1t is in the
kind and gentle heart that charity
abides with the peacefulness of
dove. There it makes it's home,
and by the word withheld, and the
kindly one out-spoken, we have the
sign of the dove of peace nesting
in the heart. For kind words are
like apples of gold in pictures of
silver"
Those who habitually correct
their children in their faults by
whipping and boxing them, must
not be surprised when they
find them slapping them in return,
and rough and abusive toward one
another. They are simply trying
to enforce their own little ideas of |
right as they have seen their elders
do. The mother who spends most
Of her time fnssing over the ward
robes of her children and herself,
starching, ironing and decorating
and making them fashionable, will
ind the lessons she taught crop
ping out in dudeism; in vanity that
prevents the development of solid
character and useful habits. The
'ather who smokes and drinks and
spends his substance in riotOus liv-
ng will have better luck than man

The sooner children are brought
to understand that idleness is a
crime, and that no amount of fine
culture can make them pass for
valuable in the worlds eye if they
are unable to earn a livelihood,
and so must become "hangers-on"
for others to support, the better for
them. That daughter who helps
her mother cook and scrub is far
more worthy than she who only
paints and plays and obliges her
overworked father to pay servant
that she may not soil her dainty
hands.
There are too many fathers who
will tie up the dog at night and let
the boy run loose.
What is needed most of all in
bringing up children is example.
What they see and hear and take
in by absorption in their young
years will, in most cases, become
the ruling traits Of their lives.
Parents rarely fully realize to what
extent they stand as models to
their children.

GOING TO SEE THE. KING
Duke to Plead for Consent to
Marry Miss EIkins !.

ROME. March 214The following ex-
planation of the present situation with
regard to the reported engagement of
the duke of Abruzzi and katherine
Elkins was obtained today from an -un$
lmpeachable authority: ?
The duke OF Abruzzi came to- Rome
In February and dined with King Victor
Emmanuel. He did not ask his majes-
ty's consent to an engagement with
Miss Elkins. He did. however. obtain
leave Of absence from the ministry Of
marine and went to America. - fs+'
AS a matter Of fact. 1T is learned that
the duke spoke to the king with regard
70 the Elkins family some time prior
10 this. and with SUCH persistence that
the king questioned him specifically
about that family. but st no TIME did
he duke ask the consent sot the king
70 his marriage with Miss Elk1ns ~;
1t is believed here that fhe duke of
Abruzzi is coming TO Ital5 to ask the
consent of the king. This.del is not
70 strange as would appear, as it. issun-
5erstood that the duke intended to ar-'
range matters with the Elkips family
privately before pleading his suit, With
Victor Emmanuel A definite decision
therefore is not likely to be given until
after the duke reaches Rome. about

MISS ELKINS WITH DUKE
Journey in Automobile From
Washington to Baltimore

WASHINGTON. March 21-As an
evidence of the extreme precaution
taken by the duke Of Abrussi and his
friends here to protect his movements
from the curious eyes of the public,
II is just learned that he actually left
Washington in an automobile and not
ID a railroad train, as was reported
BY the station people. Attired in a
short coat a slouch hat and carrying
q walking stick, he stepped into an
automobile near the Italian embassy
in this city and made a rapid run to
Baltimore. 1t is believed here that he
was accompanied on this trip by Miss
Elkins, but the persistent refusal OF
the friends Of the principals to this
romance to furnish the smallest scrap
Of information to reporters makes II
very difficult to establish the fact 1t
Is assumed, however, that the state
ment made in Baltimore last night was
correct and that the couple did join
Senator Elkins in Baltimore whittier he
had gone to attend the funeral-of the
late Senator Whyte, and that the duke
took q train from Baltimore and con-
tinued on his way TO New York.

NEW YORK, March 2L-The duke
Of Abruzzi, cousin Of the king of
italy, who is reported to be engaged
20 marry Miss Katherine Elkins, sailed
Tor Europe today on the steamer Lusi-
tania. Up to the hour OF sailing the
duke declined to affirm or deny the
reported engagement, but his de-
meanor was regarded by the re-
porters who gathered at the steamship
pier as not that OF a man who had
failed in an important mission.
The duke registered as Luigi Sarto,
he boarded the steamer early this
morning and was accompanied to the
dock by an Italian attache Of the lega-
tion at Washington and by secret
service man. To. the reporters at the
