that make a mistake in representing
you as wearing silk hat as do in the
first act of The Senator
-" i never wore a silk hat but once,
said Plumb; and I'll tell you how that
was =" and this is the story:
Plumb won the hat from an Ohio man
he insisted that he would wear it if it
killed him; it nearly worried the
life out of him, for he wasn't used to
that sort of head covering.
Invariably when he got into car
riage he mashed it against the top of
the doorway or against the roof of the
carriage when he arose. 1t was con-
stantly being knocked off and it wasn't
long till he had a broken place about
the top of the crown that made it look
rather shabby.
Plumb took the hat to Kansas with
him, and when he began one of his
campaigns soon afterwards he took it
with him.
During the campaign he made
speech in a small town in northern
Kansas. He stopped at the little coun-
try hotel and, after the speech OF the
afternoon, the landlord said to him:
Mr.. Plumb, 1 don't like to have to
speak to you on so delicate a subject,
but want to tell you that the boys here
don't like to see you wear silk hat"
MOP said Plumb. 'Why?"
''Wen, it may be sentiment" said the
landlord, but you understand how it is
with plain country people who don't
understand such things You are serv-
ant u the pGOplGs anu lAAC 10y al INT
you, but it looks a little as though you
were trying to put it over them some in
this silk hat business, and I hate to
hear remarks made about you on ac-
count of it,"
''Well, ''said Plumb, It hadn't thought
of that phase of it; perhaps you are
right"
Il was just going to add said the
landlord, that now you don't want the
hat, and as it is broken around the top
a little, you might let me have it. can
have the top part of the crown cut off
a couple of inches where it is broken,
and my wife can sew the top in again.
I can stand the criticism of putting on
airs all right, and if you are willing,
I'll take the hat and give you a dollar
| for it,
Plumb gave the man the hat, but re-
! fused the dollar
And that was the last time Plumb ev-
| er wore a silk hat

conditions of modern civilization, but
he demonstrates vigorously against the
idea that a cold and variable climate
is the most conducive to the physlcaI
and intellectual improvement OF the hu-
man race. While northern climates
may produce stalwart frames, statls-
tics show that they do not conduce 70
longevity In proof of his position the
doctor cites the fact that the average
Arab outIives the average Esquimau
by not less than 25 years. He shows
that the people who live along the IN

America survive the inhabitants OF the
higher and cooler attitudes of the IN
terror He shows also that the HIM

as years live to a surprising old age
The inhabitants of the southern coun-

ACTOR CRANE on PLUMB.
Talks About Him at Kansas City to a
Reporter

Kansas City. March 6-W. H Crane,
the actor, is in Kansas City this week
playing at the Coates. A local paper
People in the west, and particularly
in Kansas, feel well acquainted with
Crane. One of his famous parts was a
copy of a Kansas senator, Plumb, and
Plumb himself said it was good.
Out of all the senators he had known
and had an opportunity to study, Crane
chose the Kansas man as typical and
Plumb appreciated it. 1t laid the foun-
dalton for life long friendship. They
never forgot each other.
Plumb's famous facial characteristic
was the short chin beard he always
wore. Had he shaved it off he would
not have been Plumb to the cartoonist
and the public.
1T was my effort said Crane to a
Times reporter yesterday, mot to be
Plumb, but to resemble him. 1 remem-
Der an incident of him that happened on
one OF the occasions on which he visit
ed my dressing room in New York city.
He always did that when he was in
town. If he caught the midnight train
west he invariably came to the theater
after dinner about o'clock and sat
with me an hour or so On one occasion
I noticed he had let his chin Whiskers
grow a little longer than usual and
said to him:
Senator, will you pardon me if I
comment a little on your personal APP
g why, yes said he, of course, but
what's the matter? Amt I all right
80, yes I said; but you'll really
have to trim those whiskers or after
awhile you't get SO you won't look a
bit like me-
1.-THE next time I saw him he had had
the whiskers trimmed
All the Autographs of Crane as the
senator show him with a silk hat on his
head. AS a matter of fact, this may
have been typical of senators in general
but it was not characteristic of Plumb
in particular.
Il had my attention called to that
once" said Mr.. Crane, land during one
of the evenings Plumb and l spent to-
gether, I mentioned it to him.
- Senator I said, I have been told

WOMEN ARE TlRELESS
in Keeping Up the Topeka Kim
dergartens
Which Now Number Eight
With $50 Pupils.
1.-Two Big Colored Kindergartens Are
Doing Much to Sow the Seeds
for Good Dispositions.

The Topeka kindergarten association
now has eight schools for the training
of very young children and the total
membership at present is something
over $50 The schools are pretty even
~ divided over the city and they are
receiving substantial encouragement
from the citizens of Topeka who have
young children, and by those possess
ing advanced views on reform.
Four years ago today the Topeka
kindergarten association was organic
ed by a few earnest men and women
There were great obstacles to be over
come and much preJudlce TO patIIe
against, but the work was pushed on
until now the kindergarten in Topeka
is a fixture. A distinguished man has
said of kindergarten schools: Il know
of what I speak when I say that these
schools by the help of God, are solving
the problem which has been the despair
of statesmen
The watchword of the association
which is used as a powerful argument
in favor of the kindergarten is that it
aims to prove that it is cheaper to sup
port k1ndergartenS than prisons and
that prevention, not refOrm-the kind
ergarten, not the prisOn--is true phil
anthrOpy."
The Topeka kindergarten association
Is not money making scheme as some
might suppose. 1t is carried on by
voluntary contributions. It is a sue
ceSSfulIy tested system of reform, work
ing along the higher plane of sociology.
The members of the association are
among Dopeka's most influential and
intellectual ladies. The aim is to have
the schools partially self-suppOrting at
least. When the child of a we'll to-dO
parent attends. that parent is expected
to pay small tuition But the poor
mans child can attend the schools free
and receive the same amount of atten-
ton and care as the rich mans child.
This is the purpose of the association,
and this is one reason why it has been
so successful.
Mrs. T. f. Bowman is the president
of the association, and the other off,
GERS are, first vice president, Mrs. J. H.
Hunt; second vice president, Mrs. T.
ii. Church; recording secretary, Mrs.
Victor Spangberg; corresponding sec
rotary, Mrs. L. S. QuintOn; treasurer,
Mrs. II. e. Ball, and auditor, Judge F.
c. Adams.
The board of managers consists of 81
ladies well known in Topeka, and their
work has done much to bring up the
schools and put the association on a
firm footing.
Mrs. E. Davidson Worden, lately of
Cincinnati, is now the superintendent
IN charge of the work in Topeka She
IS a lady well fitted for the position,
having had 13 years experience in the
Cincinnati kindergartens, and three
years in Denver. She supervises all the
work in the kindergarten schools
The educational committee of the as
eoclatton now consists of Mrs. A. A.
GODDARD Mrs. F. o. Popenoe and Mrs.

Woe Among the Riffraff.

A large crowd OF men and women
from Smoky Row was at police court
yesterday afternoon to hear the cases
against Bee" Adams and Annie Clay,
two colored people who were charged
with selling intoxicating liquor. Min
Saunders, who was arrested for keep
ing a disorderly house, thought her
arrest was caused, by Adams and the
Clay woman Accordingly she is said
to have had them arrested on the
charge of selling liquors. The two wo-
men live close together, near Crane and
Monroe streets. In police court they al
most came to blows and they used bad
language. There was not sufficient ev-
idence against Bee" Adams and Annie
Clay, and they were released by Judge
Atchison.

LONGEVITY IN THE TROPICS.
[From the Cineinnati Times-star.l

Because in tropical countries more
decayed vegetable matter is found and
in consequence more miasma, the
idea has become popular that only Wig
orous health and long life ara likely in
northern ATTITUDES where frost now and
then asserts itself. The fact that hu-
mainly natures much earlier in tropi-
cal chimes seems to warrant the con-
clusion that it must necessarily perish
much earlier. DR.. Luigi Sambon of
Rome attempts to put these popular
impressions to sleep by an elaborate
exhibition of statistics. He doesn't
contend that the warmest climate is
the most suitable to a man, under the
