TOPEKA.ROASTS' ARE MILD
Compared to the Following Frohman
by the Chicago News"

Compared to the Following Frohman
by the Chicago "News."
At the Schiller theater in Chicago, one
of the best in the city, 1.-THE Leaven-
worth Case" has been presented by a
Gustave Frohman company the past
week. The Chicago News speaks of it
as follows:
"If Mr.. Frohman is in distress he is, of
course, condoned the offense of this sort
of infringement upon the rights of ticket
buyers, but in the interest of ostensibly
lawful commerce he should keep a per-
manent poster in front of his handsome
little theater, decorated with the ac-
acknowledgement that he must have dol
lar and a half for bad show because he
is in need. Then if he failed at least the
soft, sweet glow of hones'y would
surprise Gustave's cheek and there is
always the tin cup and green eye shade
to be resorted to in case of unimpeach-
able perjury. To beg is not 30 repre-
hensible as to charge dollar and half
to behold Mr. Rohlfs when MIR. Sothern
can be heard at the same price"
And we in Topeka would rejoice be-
yond measure if we could even get any
thing SO good as a Gustave Frohm an
COMPANY.

PEOPLE ARE STARVING.


Because Charitable Persons are Waiting
Until Christmas to Donate.
"There is more actual need right now
than there has been at any time this
year" said Mrs. L. E. Thorpe today. "If
1t should turn cold many people would
nearly starve. They are now suffering
for food. Since Sunday have had to
turn away fifty persons empty handed
because l have not received any dona-
fions.
charitable people are saving up their
donations for Christmas. l have
promises of a number Of very substantial
contributions for then. But l don't
know what the poor will do while they
are waiting for Christmas. 1t is whole
week until then, and they certainly will
be in terrible condition if nothing
comes in for them. Nothing has been
given this week."

THE COAT CAME BACK.
A Charity Garment Returned After Two
Years Service.

Two years ago this Christmas pretty,
comfortable coat for a girl of IL was
given to a charity worker by the Sunday
school of the First M. E church. The
woman knew of a dear, black eyed little
girl who could not go to school for lack
of wrap. and she prevailed upon the
family to accept the gift, although it was
not used to charity.
Today the coat was returned to the
charity worker. The black eyed little
girl is now too large for it, and besides
her father now buys her all the coats she
needs, for he earns $3.50 day. The lit
tie wrap was again given out to little
girl named June, and now keeps warm
June in the winter time.

them When he Hid in a Closet.
While James Digman was being tried
for chicken stealing at Perry, Monday,
he got out of the court room and got

the Topeka police were notified to watch
for him,
Last evening Digman was located at
his home. When the officers entered he
took refuge in closet, but he was found
when the place WAS searched. He was
forced to conceal himself so quickly that
he left his shoes standing in the middle
OF the 1oor in the room which the police
men hr5t entered. He left Perry SO hur-
riedly that he did not bring his wagon
with a large chicken coop and a cheese
