MAY TAKE THEATER.
Manhattan's Olympia Will Go Into
Hands of Boston Men.

New York. Oct. 1S.-The Olympia the
alter, in which oscar Hammerstein lost
a great deal of money, retiring as a
poor man to begin the battle of life all
over again, is about to find new owners
in the persons of some Boston capital
lists. This news was brought to town
by A. H. Chamberlain, the English the
atrical manager, who will have the act
ual control of the Olympia. Mr.. Cham
berlain would say tonight no more
about his plans than this:
Just when shall secure possession
I can't say at this moment, nor can
say whether I will be able to open the
Olympia this season or not. I will do
my best, though. I have signed con-
tracts with a well known American
manager to take the theater part of the
building off my hands the moment l
take possession of the building"

ONE MORE EXPLANATION
Of Why the People of Kansas are Not
Interested in Politics.

AGyron Waterman, one of the state
bank examiners, who is probably around
over the state as much as any other
man, says that there is but little more
interest taken in politics than there
was earlier in the campaign.
lone does not hear the candidates
and issues discussed the way they gen
orally are,'' said Mr.. Waterman. You
hardly hear the subject mentioned on
the trains or in the hotels or among
the business men over the state. But
I do not think it is a lack of interest
in political matters especially. Some
people think it is on account of the
war or that farmers are too busy, or
something of that sort. but L don't
think it is anything of the kind. AS
matter of fact people have already
made up their minds how they are go
ing to vote and they don't care to have
somebody come around and try 10
change. them. They have been studying
political questions for the past eight
years, and nearly every farmer and bus
mess man in the state has a pretty good
idea of how things ought to be run ana
which party it viii be in his interest TO
vote for They are not saying much
and no one can tell just how they are
going to vote until election night. That's
nv idea of why there is not more in
terest manifested in political meetings.

The First Chinese Baby Show,

The first Chinese baby show in the
world has just been held here. There
were 200 Of them. From embroidered
slipper to shaven poll they were arrayed
in their best. They wore satin blouses
that shone in the sun with a silvery
simmer. They wore embroideries of
wonderful birds and bees and flowers
never seen on land or sea. The little
boys were shaven, and the little girls
had their hair stiffened and polished
and dressed as though for the grandest
function, with little birdcages and
fringes Of beads and paper atop. There
were great tinklings of metal and much
shining Of green jade. A new fashion
in infant headgear showed halo of stiff
pompons that rose above tho infants
somber eyes. Others wore huge rosettes
Of silk on each temple, like a joss, and
one little girl had a man of black silk
u strings hanging down from the
back Of her head. Even the baby COM
plexions had been looked after. On the
smooth, yellow cheeks appeared the
most lovely patch of pink rouge, put OH
quite frankly III the Chinese fashion.
The rosebud mouths were touched up,

But bitter sweet, the memories that awaken
The love that filed each heart was lever told,

GOLD FILLED TEETH,


Moro Of the Metal Goes Into Them Than
Can BE Got Out.
An example of some of the queer ex-
periences people have when they are
called upon to buy a thing with which
have need Of only on rare and unusual
occasions is thus set forth by the Mil
waukee Sentinel:
A young woman who worked as q
domestic went to q dentist to get Ter
teeth repaired. He repaired them and
sent a bill Of ss5. He justified himself
for the charges by explaining how
much the filings cost him. In one hol-
low tooth, he said, he put $40 worth of
gold. The bill was paid, and recently,
when the little nugget (said t. be worth
$10) came out, the woman took it to a
goldsmith and had it appraised. He
weighed it scrupulously and valued it
at AZ cents. She no longer has faith in
her dentist.
1t seems to be always good taste to
Ego shopping among tho dentists be-
fore having any considerable amount of
work done. There is considerable hum
buggery about the business in some
quarters. The public is told that S15 is
q fair price for a crown and stands
ready to pay it, on the ground that
good work deserves good pay. A few
blocks away the same work was done
last week for s., just as well as if SIS
had been paid, and it was done by a
reputable dentist. One dentist figured
on &S5 for six teeth, and another 200
yards away performed the service for

BANKS PART IN FARMlNo.
How the Trader In Money Enable Soil
Tillers to Work,

How the raider In Money Enable Soil
Tillers to Work.
How does a bank help the farmer?
With the approach of the time for
blowing and planting, seeds and fer
tilizer will be necessary. How can the
farmer buy them If the last season was
q poor one? He has spent all Of his
earnings in running the household dur
ing the long winter. He goes to the
dealer in fertilizer in the nearest vii
lage and asks, what is the price of
fertilizer a ton?"
Fifty dollars" the dealer replies.
"Well, 1 will need two tons, and
that will amount to $780,"
Eyes. Take it along nowT"
II haven't the ready cash just now,
butt
"Oh. that's all right. l know you're
good for it. Take it along and give me
your note payable in four months. By
that time your crops will be yielding a
profit"
The farmer gives his note; the dealer
indorses it and gives it in payment to
the wholesaler from whom he gets the
fertilizer; the wholesaler sends it to the
manufacturer of the fertilizer, who in
turn takes it to his bank and borrows
the money on it less the interest.
The farmer gets his seed in the same
way and at the time of the expiration
of the notes is able to meet his obliga-
lions.
Thus, instead of the farmer being
compelled to wait until he can get the
cash to pay before he cal buy the fer
tilizer and seed, he obtains them when
he needs them. The dealer, instead of
having to wait until the farmer gets the
money before he can sell his goods, sells
them in the proper season and receives
what is to him practically cash. The
wholesaler receives from the retailer
what is as good as cash to him, and the
manufacturer receives virtually cash
from the wholesaler.
How would all this be possible were
it not that the bankers had collected the
idle money of other people and We're
able to lend it out to good advantage?
The farm would go implanted; the
ground would go untitled; there would
be no crops to yield a profit.
That's where the bank helps the
farmer. New York Press.

were deceived, but not DR.. Coke, libra
rian OF the Bodleian library at Oxford.
How he detected the fraud is related in
his own words in The Spectator:
I never really opened the book, but I
held it in my hand and took II page
Of it between my finger and thumb
while I listened to the rascal's account
Of how he found this most interesting
antiquity.
At tho end Of three or four minutes I
handed it back to him with the short
comment, Nineteenth century paper,

does this shoe pinch or in the least de-.

"These are the indoor shoes Of the
Chinamrn. On the street here in the
Olffteet States nowadays he wears very
commonly the leather shoes or boots of
American manufacture. That is one of
the ways in which he is becoming
Americanized. But the outdoor cloth
shoe Of China is a great deal worn also.
That, like the indoor shoe, is very thick
and soft in the sole, and the foot is
never pinched or strained by it. The
healthiest footgear ever known proba-
bly, was the sandal Of the Greeks. It
had no upper, and, as you will see in

were ideally perfect. All the sandal af-

CHINESE SHOES.


The Comfort and Healthfulness of Woven
Straw Sandals.
II may seem to be quarreling with
my bread and butter" said an up town
chiropodist to II of his best customers
the other day, "but in my humble and
somewhat professional opinion, the most
sensible Of all men in the matter of foot
wear is the Chinaman. Did you ever
notice his feet? l don't believe there is
such u thing as a corn or a bunion in
all China. Chiropodists would starve
to death there SO far as the requirements
of tho masculine foot are concerned.
Whatever the deformities inflicted OH
the feet of women in China may be, the
men certainly enjoy sound and comfort
able understandings. Look at the Chi
nese laundrymen here in Washington.
They stand at their work IS hours a
day. No class of workingmen I know of
spend so many hours on their feet as
they do. Yet they never break down
there, and, physically, they are a Won
