KING VICTOR EMMANUEL OF 1T,
Ally WELCOMES THE DIsTlN-
GUISHED AMERICAN.
MEET ON THE REUMBERTO
Ruler Invites Former President of the
United States Aboard Italian Battle
ship and Expresses Thanks of His
People for Assistance Given During
the Earthquake Horror.

Messina, April 6.-Theodore Roose-
welt and King Victor Emmanuel met
today on the Italian battleship Reum-
berto in Messina harbor. The meet
ing was characterized by the utmost
cordialty, and the king expressed the
gratitude of himself and the Italian
people for the generous assistance of
the United States to the earthquake
sufferers.
At the close of the interview Mr..
Roosevelt went ashore and inspected
the ruins of the city, the desolation of
which moved him strongly. He then
boarded the steamer Admiral, which,
just at sunset, proceeded on her way
to Mombasa.
The Admiral arrived at Messina
about o'clock ~ the afternoon and
was saluted by the Reumberto. AL
most Immediately Captain Pfeister, the
former Italian military attache at
Washington and now aide to Admiral
Mirabello, was taken to the Admiral
in a launch and inquired for Mr..
Roosevelt. To him he said the king
sent his compliments, and would have
great pleasure in receiving the former
president of the United States. Mr..
Roosevelt's face lit up with a smile
and, accompanied by his son, Kermit,
and Ambassador Griscom, he went at
once to the battleship.
The king met the party at the head
of the gangway and he greeted the ex-
president effusively, shaking him
warmly by the hand He did not
wish, he said, to allow the opportunity
to pass of making the personal ac-
quaintance of so distinguished a man.
Above all. he wanted personally to
thank the former president for the
help extended by America at the time
of the earthquake.
you are now able" he added, ito
understand better what a terrible dis
aster it was
Thanks King.
Mr.. Roosevelt thanked the sovereign
for the compliment paid him in invit-
ing him aboard the Reumberto. He
said the American people did not wish
thanks for what they had done, as
they had merely tried to do their duty
and knew no better way to confront
the immense need than by their work
and contributions.
The king then turned to the hunting
trip to Africa, saying that his tastes
also ran in that direction. He men
toned the expedition of the Count of
Turin in Africa, and hoped Mr. Roose-
welt would meet the count there. After
more than half an hours conversation
the king accompanied his guest ashore,
where a photograph was made of a
group consisting of the king, Mr..
Roosevelt, Kermit and Ambassador
Griscom. At the suggestion of the
king, Mr.. Roosevelt snapped a pic
ture of the king, Admiral Mirabello,
Kermit and Ambassador Griscom
Before leaving the king wished Mr..
Roosevelt a happy and successful trip
and much good luck in hunting. He
asked Mr.. Roosevelt to promise that
he would visit Rome on his return,
when the queen would be pleased to
meet him. The king then left, not
wishing to accompany the party over
the ruins.

SHORT COAT BOUND TO COME
Dainty Article of Apparel That Will
Be a Necessary Part of the
Wardrobe.

Undeniably the day of the short
fancy coat, which appears to be a part
of the lingerie gown over which it is
worn, is coming, for summer dresses
show them and many women are or
dering separate ones to combine with
any of their sheer linen and muslin
frocks. They are quite the daintest
bit of apparel that has been seen in
a long time. Some of those fashioned
of all embroidery are made with ell
bow length sleeves finished with a
frill of lace or embroidery.
Such a lingerie jacket will make the
simplest dress look handsome enough
for semi-formal occasions, while those
of real lace might properly be worn
over silk and crepe dresses. Their
lines conform to the short wasted
ones which continue to characterize
the latest models. A fringed sash fire.

How to Care for Gold Fish.

A writer in the Housekeeper gives
her experience in caring for gold fish
successfully: keep three fish in a six
quart globe. I use we'll water; pure
spring water or river water can be
used, but not cistern water, and
nearly always have the water fresh
out of the well, she says 1 change the
water in the globe once a week. I al
ways have a large bunch of moss in
the globe, as it keeps the water sweet
longer and the fish like to nibble at it.
1 get long strands of floating moss
out of a millpond, and get an extra
supply in the fall, as one bunch does
not last all winter. 1 give the fish a
salt bath once week, which keeps
them in good health. l use one tea
spoonful of table salt and one quart
of water, and keep the fish in the wa
ter 10 minutes. Once a day I feed
the fish a piece of prepared fish food

Mercer, Pa, May Thames H.
Boyle was sentenced to life imprison-
ment in the western penitentiary at
Pittsburg for the kidnapping of Billy"
Whitla Mrs. Boyle, indicted as Mary
Doe, received a sentence of % years
with a fine of $4,000 and the costs of
the prosecution.
Boyle did not create the scene in
court he had threatened, but he made
a statement before court that he and
his wife had decided as soon as they
got to the penitentiary to make a
statement in legal form revealing the
whole story of the kidnapping and
making public the name of the mys-
ferrous third person they say planned
the kidnapping.
Boyle's counsel made a plea for both
Boyle and his wife, pleading for leni-
ency in both cases. He stated that
until a recent period the extreme pen
atty for kidnapping in this state was
ten years and in view of the fact that
the boy had been treated with every
consideration and that all care had
been taken not to inflict unnecessary
mental anguish upon the parents he
felt leniency might be asked for with
propriety.
Both Boyle and his wife collapsed
completely upon hearing their SEN
fences pronounced. When they were
started back to the jail from the
courtroom Boyle managed to walk
with assistance down the steps, but
upon reaching the front door he be-
came limp and was unable to stand.
He was lifted into the old-fashioned
omnibus in which the prisoners have
been transported for several days be-
tween the courthouse and the Jail.
When the prisoner was placed upon
the seat inside the vehicle he was left
for a moment unsupported and fell
nearly out of it before he was caught.
He was utterly unable to support him
self and had to be held all the way to
the jail and carried to his cell.
Mrs. Boyle was in even worse condi-
ton. She was unable to walk down
the steps from the courthouse to the
street and was carried by Sheriff
Chess and the chief CT police down
three fights of stairs to the street.
She was lifted into the omnibus, and
when the jail was reached she was
again lifted out by these officers and
carried to her cell, where she wept
violently.
Boyle said, before sentence was pro-
nounced, that the statement he would
issue through his attorney would
startle the country" He said he real
lied now that he and his wife had
made a mistake in not making the
matter public soon after their arrest,
but, he said, both Helen and 1 have
been bluffed into the delusion that by
keeping silent everything would be
made all right, and we would escape
with sentences of not more than a
year each, with special privileges &C
corded us.
Realizing our mistake, we have
now taken the preliminary steps to
defeat the manifest plan of those in
terested in keeping the name of this
other person quiet. We have the
steam roller going now and have
plenty of ammunition to keep it going.
1t is the other side that is on the
anxious seat now"

No woman should submit to surgi-

Vegetable Compound, made exclusive

This famous medicine for women

It cures female ills, and creates radi-

Opponents of vivisection are not
likely to find serious fault with the
phase in which it presented itself at
Hubbardston, Mass, the other day. A
fve-year-old girl, who had lost eight
inches Of skin by scalding, lay at the
point of death, and surgeons cut a Sec
ton of cuticle from a pig and grated
it upon the wound Was not that bet
ter than cutting skin from human be-
ings? The outcome of the case is un-
certain, but it would have been equally
uncertain if the contribution of cuticle
had been made by schoolmates of the
unfortunate girl.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and ffneness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness. which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great

MRS. coTTLE's RULE.
kANs.

Mrs. Franklin d. Cottle of New YORK
city celebrated her one hundredtr
birthday recently by taking a Ions
automobile ride and giving a long
newspaper interview. On the subject
of her extraordinary longevity she ut
tered words that should give hope and
consolation to the many who are daily
harassed and pestered by all sorts OF
experts telling them to be sure to do
this and to be sure not to do that
under penalty of shortening their
lives. She said: II never lived by rule
I ate what 1 liked, wore what liked
and lived a Christian life" To be
sure. She did what she liked that be-
came Christian woman in a Christian
land and with moderation. She had
no fixed rules beyond these, and she
looks back over a hundred years, with
their joys and their sorrows, with con-
tentment, and forward to the future
with tranquility. We question that
there is a better line of conduct for
long and happy life, or better rule OF
life, than due combining of Christian
virtues and common sense.

connection with the judges handling
Of a joint case in that town. A joint

against the culpFit and took his honor
severely to task in an editorial. The
county attorney of Franklin county
brought. suit against Robb for con-
tempt Of court and secured a verdict.

SWEETS FOR AFTERNOON TEA
Some Novel DeIicacies Fitted to

A young woman who has been to
Russia has introduced on her tea
table n little cake that is popular
among her friends.
rich puff paste is divided into
four parts, each rolled as thin as pos
sible. On one sheet is put an almond
paste, on another pounded peanuts
or pistache nuts, on a third currant
jelly or orange marmalade. The lay
ers are placed on each other, honey or
maple syrup is poured over, and the
whole baked in a moderate oven until
a delicate brown
When cold the crust is cut in
squares or diamonds and passed on
plate covered with lace dolly
Another delicacy for afternoon tea
is the crisp cassava wafer used so
much in West Indian households. This
is served cold, but is better if buttered
and made very hot in the oven
Rich little crullers or doughnuts,
made not more than two inches long
and busted thickly with powdered
sugar, are pleasant change from the
usual small cake passed with after
noon tea.
A nice and inexpensive sandwich
filling is cold chicken or lamb put
through a chopper, highly seasoned
with salt and pepper and mixed to a
smooth paste with rich cream This is
not so rich as mayonnaise, which is
usually employed in sandwiches.
Bars of brown bread slightly
toasted, buttered and covered with
sardine paste made by shredding sar-
dimes and mixing with lemon juice are
nice change from sandwiches.

TEXT BOOKS SELECTED
SEVEN THAT ARE WRITTEN BY
KANSAS AUTHORS ADOPTED.
LETTING" VERY HARMONIOUS
The Contracts Awarded by the State
Text Book Commission Holds
Good for Five Years-Ses-
sion Lasted TWO Days.

There was excitement and anxiety
written upon the face of the text
book agents when the secretary of
the State Text Book commission open
ed the private door where it has been
meeting for two days and announced
that all of the contracts for school
books had been let-that all of the
books had been adopted.
The. American Book company, who
five years ago secured the bulk of the
contracts, were not so successful at
the recent letting" They landed
one contract and that is for Virgil"
Latin text book, which will have a
very small sale in Kansas. Governor
Stubs appointed his text book com
mission with an idea of getting the
best possible books for the smallest
amount of the peoples money. That
cut the American Book company out.
Seven books written by Kansas au-
thors were adopted. This is also I'M
precedented. Heretofore the publish
ing houses putting out books by Kan
sas authors have stood small chances
with the commission. The present
commission deemed the books of
Kansans submitted the best that were
offered and adopted them. These
books, written by Kansans and pub
Iished by eastern publishing houses,
are as follows:
Primer-Van Amberg.
Primary reading chart-Arnett.
Latin exercises-O. B. Barnes,
WhittemOre.
Caesar-Walker.
Kansas history-Prentis.
Word analysis-Hin.
German grammar-Otis Carruth.
There was only twenty-one books
adopted These are for use in the
high schools of the state. They
change every five years. The books
in use at the present time have been
in use for five years. The books
adopted two years ago were for the
common schools and they will run
for three years more. The contrac
for the common school books two
years ago were estimated to be worth
near million dollars. 1t was esti-
mated that as a result of the adop-
ton of the books one million dollars
the five years in Kansas It is esti-
mated that the adoption of the books
will be worth 100000 to the publish
ing houses and individuals putting
them on the market.
The letting by the commission is
over and no scandal has developed.
After the praise Governor Stubs
gave the members of the commission
and after the care he exercised in Sc
lecting them no scandal was expected.
However, it has always been the rule
when the regular text book letting
came on. It has always been charged
heretofore that the book trust tam
pered with the members of the COM
mission. 1t has been charged that
the American Book company had a
representative on the commission, but
that charge was never proven.
