Net Actress
AT Cafe
By WALTER ANTHONY

The story is authenticated. The sui
tan of Sulu, who attended a perform
ance of THE Prince of Pilsen" Monday
night at the Savoy theater, fell desper-
ately in love with Frances Cameron,
the "beauteous leading lady of the
company. He wanted to meet her, and
told Henri Gressitt, who, as Savage's S
manager, was entertaining the sultan in
a box, about his longing. OF course, the
sultan couldn't speak word of Eng
lish, but. he had catholic eyes The
gallant Henri assured the impetuous
Moor that he would see to it that the
sultan should meet the maid. So he
took him to a downtown cafe after the
performance and sat him with his reti-
nue., including brother Dato Raja NADIA
Mualie VAST, heir apparent to the few
remaining pearls in the sultan's treas
ury. in a far corner, where the sultanic
majesty could feast his eyes on the
loveliness of the American widow. An

DANISH DELEGATES
MARCH IN FRESNO
Brotherhood Participates in Big
Parade Given by the
County Fair

FRESNO. Oct. 5.--Committees to dis
cuss and suggest amendments to the
constitution of the order were ap-
pointed at the session of the national
convention of the Danish Brotherhood
here this morning.
The business session this afternoon
was done away with in order to allow
the delegates to participate in a body
in the big parade held in connection
with the county fair now in progress
in this city.
The brotherhood made an excellent
showing in the procession. fully 300 of
their number being included in the line
of march, all portions Of the United
States being represented
While no. definite conclusion has been
reached as to where the next national
convention will be held, it is generally
conceded by the delegates that the
gathering in 1911 will be in one of the
central states, the coast states being
considered as too far away for some
of the delegates. The work of the
present delegation probably will be
ended Saturday.

Ella was playing with her sister at the

Promotion Bodies of State Coz
operate to Further Develop

Especial Dispatch TO The Call

STOCKTON, Oct. 5.-Secretary ]. NJ.
Eddy of the chamber of commerce has
returned from Visalia, where a meet
ing of the various promotion bodies of
the state was held yesterday and the
California district and county fair as
sociation was organized. The follow
ing resolution was adopted and ex-
plains the purpose of the organization:
Resolved by this convention of
delegates from the commercial or
ganizations of California, assem-
bled in the city of Visalia, sOcto-
Der 4, 1910. to consider the subject
herein outlined. that we cooperate
to secure concerted action of the
various communities in procuring
the enactment of laws by the leg
islature of 1911 to promote devel-
opment of California resources by
appropriation of state funds to re-
establish district and county fairs
for the encouragement of agricul-
ture and other productive indus
tries.
It was decided that 1t would be best
to have the president and secretary of
the association residents of the same
city, and on account of the central To-
citation of Stockton j. M. Eddy was
elected president and W. C. Wall sec
retary.
A meeting will be called soon by
President Eddy, when an executive
committee will be announced. and a
systematic campaign started. The dis
trict feature was included for the bene-
fit of some of the smaller counties
which can not hold county fairs.
The association did not approve of
the plan for holding four or six large
district fairs, as advocated by race

Publishers Announcement

With the mailing out of this issue
my connection with The BLADE
ceases, having sold the printing
plant, subscription list and every
thing pertaining to the business to
John B. Jones, who will assume
control. All accounts on job work
and advertising up to and including
today are due and payable to the
undersigned, while all subscription
accounts are due and payable to the
new management, and all unexpired
subscriptions will be filled by him.
Mr.. Jones is not a stranger to the
people of Laclede and vicinity, nor
to the work of the Office, having
lived here all his life and for several
years been in charge of the mechan-
ical department as well as render
ing valuable assistance in reporter
ial work. He is fully competent
to handle every part of the business
and, we believe, will not only keep
the paper up to its present standard
but by devoting his entire time will
be able to make substantial i'm
provements.. In retiring after
nearly twenty years service in the
newspaper business here we wish to
thank our friends for their patron
age, universal kindness, and, we
might say, sympathy, but in sever
ing these pleasant relations we can
not but feel degree of regret,
although in laying aside the
responsibilities and cares incident
to publishing a newspaper in con-
nection with another job big enough
for a full grown man is like taking
half the load off an overburdened
horse. We bespeak your hearty
cooperation and generous patron
age for the new management.

Some Evening Reyeries.

If mothers could only realize
what a critical period their children
are passing through from the third
to the sixth year, they would exer-
else more than ordinary care during
that time. Not only physically,
but mentally and morally they are
undergoing a change for better or
worse, according to the care and
attention they receive from their
mothers and fathers. A father is
no more exempt from certain duties
toward his offspring than mother.
He should always bear in mind
that his assistance in the control of
the children is of more value to his
tired wife than the presentation of
a costly gift. 1t is at this time
that children begin to notice papa's
and mammals bearing toward one
another; let this always be one of
perfect courtesy and respect. No
thing so quickly destroys respect
for parents as constant pickering
in the presence of their children.
The first thing a child should be
taught is respect for his parents
and elders; affection comes natur-
ally with most children, and is the
most valuable aid in gaining con-
troll Of their actions; next to that
is respect; without it very little
can be accomplished for the child's
welfare. Parents should bear in
mind that children lose respect
very soon on hearing them dis
agree, using bitter, cutting words
to each other. This is inficting
the first actual pain these baby
hearts have been called upon to
bear. In the presence of this the
child experiences conflicting emo
tions which end in pity for one
parent and contempt for the other.
o parent, pause, consider, before
you lose this hold on the little be-
ing who has heretofore considered
you perfect. Let there be unanim-
ity of purpose in act, word and
deed before these little creatures,
who are so susceptible to every i'm
preston, if you would preserve
their love and respect.

BURGLARS LOOT FOUR STORES
Smash Windows and Secuse Small Amount OF
Money and Some Razors and Knives

Burglars did wholesale business
in Laclede last Monday night, four
business houses being broken into.
The glass in the front door OF
Dicks meat market was broken
and 1926 taken from the cash
register. The same kind OF an
opening was made in Wilson's
grocery and quantity of cigars
and tobacco taken. j. B. Patrick's s
hardware room was entered through
a back window and about $40 taken
from the cash register, two dozen
razors, some pocket knives and
three revolvers taken from the show
case. At A. A. Wiseman's gro
Gerry and hardware store the glass
was broken out of the front door
and about So from the cash drawer
and some pocket knives were taken.
From the bold and systematic way
in which it was done it looks like
the town had been visited by pro-
fessional thieves and they are
probably now many miles away
disposing of the loot and having a
good time on the proceeds.
