But in her mind was the thought vim

Jars mother loudly.
And they dragged their victim In. No
word was said to Mr.. Jarr, although he
was permitted to enter also.

over with Mr.. Jarr to explain, There
has evidently been some mistake. What
did you think he had done?"
Mrs. Jar and her mother were quick
thinkers. Mrs. Jarr's mother. for the
first time In her life. kept silent. Mrs,
Jarr smiled her most superior smile and
said:

WHERE THE SCHOOLS FAIL.

- HILDREN Of the public schools speak slovenly English.
They should be taught their own language before tackling
any dead ones. Also they should be taught to pronounce
it scnsibly and uniformly.
These are the sentiments expressed in a letter to The World
from a reader who signs himself Charles Leidy.
We assure Mr.. Lcidy his sentiments are also ours. We assure
him, however, that the fault is not with the public schools alono.
The private institutions are just as bad.
Many a father who has been persuaded to send his daughters
10 be finished" in an expensive atmosphere Of culture and refine
meut" has sat aghast at their speech when they came home. We do
not speak Of slang. Slang is youthful, sometimes highly refreshing
and picturesque. What we mean is downright, slpshod slovenlincss
Of pronunciation and phrasing.
we1leducated, intelligent children will say a hundred times q
day: "Som'n difrunt," 'wrr gonta try" Eyer could'n expect"
"sroun," "les" Qr "ets'), car yuh," "um" flor "1m"O, and these
are only a few examples.
What our children and a good many older folk need il more
respect and admiration for clean, clcarcut speech. Teacher, parent,
child would do well deliberately to listen, watch and try to improve
the language Of everyday.
While We laugh at the throaty Scotchman, and the Cockney who
says "tike" for "tahe," we are letting our own tongues loaf and slr
over their work in q way that is shameful and inexcusabe.

As Pompei was a distinctly fashionable resort Of twenty
thousand inhabitants frequented by Cicero and the Emperor Claudius,
with exceedingly elaborate and luxurious vilas-a regular Newport

PRINCES IN PERIL.

FNHE attempt to shoot the King Of Italy has resulted, 40 such
attempts usually do. in . tremendous outburst Of LOYALTY
and affection from his subjects. Masses are said in tho
churches and the streets are damned with people singing patriotic
songs and cheering for the King and Queen. Thousands Of con.
s1stulstoy kilograms pour in. The dispatches from Rome say
that "the attempt on his life has increased the popularity Of the
King to . degree that hardly any act Of his own could have DONE"
The situation repeats itself over and over aepin in history.
A ruler or great man whose life is aimed at becomes, certainly for
the moment and probably more or less as long as he lives, a little
bearer to his friends, . little less hateful to his enemies.
The MAS of the people have . vague, instructive feeling that
such dangers are borne for their sake, that they having conferred
the prominence are responsible for iS rsks. Certain it is that ruler
or hero, weak or strong, can always count on the perils of his position
y powerful aids in retaining the devotion Of his followers.

STUBS DECLINES 1T.
He Refuses ColonePs Request to Be
His Running Mate.

Chicago, Ill, June 12.-Governor
Stubbs of Kansas has declined the in
Nitation of Roosevelt to be the Colo
nePs running mate on the presidential
tlcket in case the Colonel wins over
Taft, which seems remote
The offer was made some DAYS ago.
and after giving it brief consideration
the governor turned the proposition
down. He says he prefers to run for
senator.
In connection with the news is also
attached the report that Governor
johnson of California has been agreed
upon by the Roosevelt forces as their
vice presidential candidate. Cover
nor Hadley of Missouri has not been
seriously considered although he
was permitted to intimate that the
vice presidential nomination had
been tentatively suggested to him.
Governor Stubs has been with the
Colonel in New York. He went there
as a special emissary from the
Roosevelt headquarters to tell the
Colonel the exact lay of the land
Things have been going bad for the
Roosevelt forces here during the last
three days, and they are all depressed
They felt that the Colonel ought to
know the naked TRUTH so they sent
Stubs to New York to tell him.
1t seems that the Kansas governor
is about the only one around head
quarters that is not afraid to tell the
Colonel discouraging news.

No change from the inactivity and irreg-

standard shares were inclined to heavi-
