This notice la believed to havo been couched in tho politest terms of diplomatic language, and to havo stated that tho American people had como to regard tho treaty as ob solete in many of its provisions.

Ho was a lead or In republican politics la Kansas for many years. Appendicitis In Baby. Pittsburg. A uino weeks old baby was operated on at a Pittsburg hos pital for appondlcltls. Physicians say the operation was successful and that tho child will recover. SERIOUSNESS OF PARENTHOOD. It Is a serious matter to launch a soul on tho tcmpostuouB sen of life to bo storm-driven and possibly wrecked upon some hidden reef. Wo were reminded of this by a re cent afternoon spent in Judgo FroBt's Juvenile Court at Lincoln, Nebraska. Tho first case was that of a young ster Just budding into manhood who had been intoxicated. Tho liquor had been given him by an older man with whom he worked. Ho professed not to know his name. Ho was reticent, almost sullen. His faco suggested' a parental influence that cursed him Wore ho was born. Tho Judgo sent him away with an exhortation and warm Bhako of the hand. To tho writer ho said: "I havo not much hope, havo you?'' ' Caso No. 2 is a baby in tho arms of a woman with a mother heart All unconscious that its destiny is fast being determined tho eight weeks' old child is tugging away at a bottlo to satisfy present needs. Tho parents havo separated and havo both de serted tho little waif. There is noth ing hotter but to turn it over to some child-saving institute. Case No. 3 was that of two girls; tho father and stepmother appeared with them. Tho mother is deflant and has a reputation none too good. The Judgo coverely reprimands tho parents and postpones action one week" and commands that tho second girl bo present Caso No. 4, Husband and wlfo havo separated. She has taken steps to procure a dlvorco. Charged her husband with drunkenness, infidelity and cruolty. The evidence mado It clear that her conduct had been un solaclous if not criminal. Tho Judgo proposed to taka hor 8-year-old child from her. Ho had taken ono before and It had been adopted Into a good family. For an hour sho wept and pleaded that tho Judgo would not tako away hor baby. "rho Court as sured her again and again that ho would bo glad to glvo her tho child It ho felt that tho future ot tho child was eafo with her. Sho produced letters showing that her husband had reformed and was willing to tako her back. Sho promises to return and tho Judgo promises to restore her child when sho can glvo good evidence that her homo Is fit for Its nurture. Caso No. 5 Is that of eleven boys. Thoy havo been guilty of stealing flvo gallons of elder, tearing down a fenco, , flinging mud nt houses and making llfo miserable for their neigh bors. They are well dressed, Intelli gent, and evidently from good homes and good families. Tho oldest Is 14 or 15 and tho youngest 8. Tho overworked probation officer, Mr. Hoenborgor, could not see them all and thoy, for tho most part, havo como In voluntarily. They know that tho Judgo Is their friend. Young as thoy are they belong to that great class of American youth, uncontrolled by parents, out at night, taking eagerly such instruction aB tho street affords. They aro embryo anarchists. The Court and probation officer try to Impress them with their danger and to transform tho leaders In tho wny of ovll Into leaders In tho paths of virtue. Tho boys aro not marked excep tions. Thoy nro simply illustrations of tho great mob of young anarchists that Infest every town. Thoy aro tho derelicts of parents too busy in mak ing money and attending clubs to manage their own homes. Tho Juve nile Court Is needed In all our towns to buttress up tho slender authority of parents. If men and women do not think onough of their progeny to care for thorn suitably and train them properly, then they should forfeit tho pleasure of begetting them. The fam ily will either perpetuate or over throw tho stato. Ladles Object to Profanity. The woman golfers of New York havo mado objections to swearing on tho links and have discussed tho mat ter In their clubs. Tho men who play over tho links are all supposed to bo gontlemeu, but sometimes they aro not careful of their languago, and ladles have beon'mado very Indignant by tiomo speeches. It has been sug gested that notices bo placed In tho clubhouse, but the fact that the ladles havo discussed tho subject wl, no doubt bo all that Is neces sary. Tho Facetious Judge. A horso dealer complained to a magistrate that eomo malicious .per son had cut off his horse's tall, which, as ho meant to soil It, would bo a groat drawback. "Then," Bald tho magistrate, "you must sell tho animal wholesale" "Wholesalo?" i replied the' other." "What do you mean? How so7" "Because you cannot re-tall It," waa tho reply. , Rather Late. "Does that young man who calls on your daughter stay very late?" "Rather. It'a got so that I ifave to uso tho back door when I etart out for work In tho morning eo as not to Interrupt them Baying good by to each other. Experience. "That singer certainly knows how to manage her range." "Sho ought to. She used to bo a cook." Flour Output Heavy. Minneapolis Tho flour output hero is approximated at 16,000,000 barrels and will turn the high water mark, according to tho millers. It Is es timated that tho production will bo between 600,000 and 600,000 barrels grcJir than In 1910.
