unchanged.
The Vatican is greatly offended at
the methods adopted by Premier
Canalejas in the recall of the Spanish
ambassador, as the announcement was
made through the press and neither the
papal nuncio nor the Vatican was mott
fed directly. AS a consequence, the
papal secretary of state, Cardinal Merry
del Val, has not been able to take any
measure of retaliation, but it is believed
that Mgr. Vico win be instructed to
leave Madrid shortly after the official
announcement of Marquis de Oieda IS re-
call is received here.
The opinion is held in some circles.

further proof of tolerance by permitting
the papal nuncio to remain at Madrid

wears ago TO assist in selecting a site
for the experiment station and is sur
prised at the agricultural development
that has taken place since that time.

Monsignor Vico, the papal nuncio to

wires. First, piece of machinery
would take down the receiver and tell
the machine called central the num-
Der. The machine, which answered
the call, would reply in a well modu-
lated voice. The voices would all be
in an ordinary tone because they
would be regulated as to pitch and
could not change of their own will.
But the users of telephones are
only persons-most like YOU Billy. A
man gets up in the morning with a
resolution to speak gently over the
telephone. When he calls another
man over the telephone the conversa-
ton may be satisfactory. But be-
fore long he is liable to talk to a
man who does not answer politely.
The fine resolve soon disappears.
When he is through someone else calls
him. He has no oil for his voice so
there is still some harshness in it.
In a minute he has the next man talk
ing in an uncommon tone, too. Be-
fore long there are hundreds of men
and women, all angry and most of
them talking over the telephone.

challenge you pleasantly to come to
the point, tell him what you. wanted,
but be sure to call again.
Yes, Calligan often got mad, but
never over the telephone.
"A telephone magnifies bad humor.
A cross word over the wire sounds
twice as cross to the party at the
other end. And more firms and indi-
viduals are learning that consistent
courtesy over the telephone is a price

ordinary tone with lips close to the

your ordinary tone a pleasant one"

When Mrs. Longworth, who only ar

King Edward received the invitation
of the ambassador to the court of st.
James and Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, to be
their guest at Dorchester House dur
ing ex.President Roosevelt's visit in
England, she was observing a period
of mourning for her maternal grand
father. Remembering, however, her
triumphant progress through London
as a bride, the princess Alice" who
according to her friends, frankly de-
clares herself unhappy as has been"
decided to accept.
Knowing the full value of clothes
she ordered a wardrobe that was the
talk of Washington. One month was
given the modiste who has supplied
Mrs. Longworth's garments for the
past two years, but there was abso-
lutely no limit to the price. Mrs.
Longworth drew up a list of gowns,
the number desired for dinner, for
balls, for afternoon wear, for travel,
for mornings at home and morning on
the streets, with wraps, blouses and
all accessories. Her ideas as to what
was needed for every hour and occa-
sion, from a becoming negligee to
several court costumes, were stated
definitely and conCisely and the mo-
diste did the rest Everything was
ready for shipment on the Mauretania

cupied space on the hold of the ship
to be opened only on arrival in Lon

But Mrs. Longworth has been made
part of the official household, and
must observe a strict mourning during
her stay in London. With Mrs. Reid
she occupied a place in st. Georges
chapel at today's ceremonies clad in
deep black while the only available
gowns in all her famous wardrobe, es-
timated at something like $4,000, are
two black dinner gowns made three
months ago to wear in her own home

Bow Killed Under Dirt.

Herrick, S. d., May 3O-Special to
The News: Thomas White, jr., the l.
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. T. A.
White residing a half mile north of
st. Charles, was smothered to death
by the caving in of bank some
time between o'clock and noon.
The boy left the house at about 8
o'clock and taking a spade with him
had evidently intended digging a cave
in a nearby gully.
The boy did not return home at
noon and his parents, becoming I'M
easy, started in a search for him. They
found where the fresh dirt had been
dug from the bank and saw that the
overhanging earth had caved in. Has
tily removing the loose soil the body
was found under it and had been there
long enough that death resulted be-
fore he was found.
The body was not crushed or even
bruised to any extent, but had evi.
IDENTIFY been smothered to death by
the loose dirt packing in around him
deep and tight enough to cut off a
sufficient supply of air
Funeral services were held at the
home on Saturday and the remains
taken to Spencer, Neb., for burial.
