'.INCOG' AT SUTTONS.

Sunday, Dec. 3rd, at Sutton's New
Theater commencing Matinee. The
Woodward Stock company will present
Chas. Dickson's laughable comedy in the
acts entitled "~Incog.'. This l'aS is one
of the funnieS comedies of this era n
one that this stock company has played
with great success throughout the coun-
try and this production will prove the as
Sertion of the management that the COM
pany is equally at home in comedy as
Well as drama.
The following is a brief synopsis of the
play: Tom Stanhope, the son Of a dys-
peptic father, is stopping at the Sea View
hotel with his father and the latter
ward and her companion.
Tom is in love With the companion, his
father objects to his suit and wishes him
to marry his ward, who is an heiress.
Tom refuses and is driven out by his ia
Their. While walking through the grounds
Tom findsa photograph, DISCUSSES to look
like the picture and returns to the hotel,
his father does not recognize him and
fayors his suit for Rates ham thinking
it will get her out of his sons way. All
goes Well until the original of the photo
, graph turns up and then his twin broth
er who is his counterfeit comes on the
scene, and therefore three people looking
exactly alike appear, and a case of mis-
taken identity occurs and a general
mix-np takes place and Tom comes out
victorious in the end. The play is full of
| the most ~laughable situations and ex-
cruciating climaxes. Prices OF admis-
sion always remain the same.

AMERICAN GIRLS REToRr.
Her Quick wit and Knowledge OF
French Once Stood Her in
Good Stead.

AS one of our countrywomen was
going down the rather narrow stairs
that lead from the house to the gar
den, at the American embassy, she met
three or four young attaches of for
eign legations, who were entire stran-
gers to her, says the St. Louis Globe
Democrat. Their politeness induced
them to stand aside for her to pass,
but their courtesy did not prevent their
making audible personal comments.
They seemed to take it for granted
that French was an unknown tongue to
Americans.
'.Look at her yellow dress; it's very
pretty" said No. /.
'.Yes. but she has on white Gloves"
announced No. 2.
"She has good teeth" said No. 3.
"And an enormous mouth" added
No. 4.
"And she understands French per-
fectly," said the owner of the enormous
mouth, turning suddenly upon them,
land would like to say that her ears
are even bigger than her mouth" This
in French and with such an air of Civ
ing impersonal information to nobody
in particular, that it was quite as if
she had beer kindly helping strangers
to information out of guide book.
The men had just enough presence of
mind to, flee the premises.

T1cKED FIVE CENTURIES.
The Famous Old Town Clock in
Rouen Has Kept Time for
$40 Years.

Rouen, one of the principal cities of
France, and the greatest seat of its cot
ton manufacture, possesses the Oldest
public clock in the world. The great
Rouen clock has held its place in that
city for $40 years and is the pride of its
citizens. Placed in 1889, it has been
running without interruption from
that day to this, requiring nothing ex-
cept cleaning and a few trifling repairs
OF its accessory parts. The great clock
had so accustomed the citizens to look
upon its eXactitude as matter of
course that when, in 1872, the breaking
of wire prevented its sounding five
o'clock one morning, the population
was in a state of CONSERVATION.
The magistrates summoned the GUS
todian-Guillaume Petit-and remon-
strated gravely with him. Until 1912
the great clock had no pendulum. For
1928 years it had no other regulator than
"foliot," an apparatus unknown to
the majority of modern cloclsnakers.
The pendulum in clockwork was intro
duced in 1859, but SO we'll satisfied were
the people of Rouen with the time.
keeping qualities Of their famous old
clock that SO years were allowed to pass
before pendulum was substituted for
the "foliot." Equipped with this new
apparatus it has continued to this day
to strike the hours and chime the quar-.
| tiers.

TIE REST MonTu

October is the best month in the year.
There is then a let up in the rush and
hustle incident to the planting, cult
waiting and harvest seasons. There is
time to go to the fair or to take day
off fishing or to go to see the good
wifes relatives down in Ohio. The
weeds have quit growing, and the flies
have quit biting, and there is solid
comfort in gathering up the last crops
Of the year and getting things snugged
up for. the winter. A fellow looks
through the dreamy haze of the still
October afternoon and sees the well
filled corncribs, the fast ripening ten
ants of the poultry yard. the cows con
tent on clover aftermath, scents the
fragrance of a faroff prairie fire, notes
the wild fowl headed for the south,
and, hearing the welcome supper call,
goes to the house and feasts on fried
chicken and pumpkin pie, thankful
that his lot is cast in such pleasant
places. At least he should feel that
way.

SPECIAL cRops.

Certain sections of the country, seem
ingly, without any special reason, take
up specialties in agriculture and horti-
culture and become famous for their
products. Bohemians and Poles first
utilized the peat beds of Kalamazoo
for celery. Rocky Ford, sterile,
parched canyon of Colorado. is devoted
to the production of nutmeg melons.
The Edgerton tobacco district of Wis
consin is growing rich raising the
weed. Sometimes community will
make specially Of potatoes or cab
bages. OF course special fitness of
soil and climate has something to do
with the success of these specialized
efforts, but really far less than most
people think. For instance, as good
celery as can be grown in Michigan
can be raised on any of the moist,
peaty lands of the west BY selecting
the right sort better favored nut
meg melon can be raised on any Iowa
or Minnesota farm than Colorado ever
produced, and there are thousands of
acres of good tobacco land all through
these states.

PIONEER. PESTS.

In 1859 we raised a ten acre field Of
corn upon new farm on the AIinneso-
ia frontier, which, after it got about
ripe, we had to watch day and night,
almost. to keep the sandhill cranes, the
wild geese and the ducks from wholly
destroying. AS 1t was, they got over
half of it, and when we went through
the form Of husking the crop the field
looked as il flock of sheep had been
pastured in 1t. Good shooting" you
ask. Well, we should say sol But
what was the use of killing game when
there was no use for it? In those days
we would have been glad, to have
snapped four Canada geese or a dozen
mallards for two pounds of salt pork,
Those days are gone, but we would
like to have just one day in that old
corntield once more.

/ LAWYERS ODD CLIENT.
he Did Not want Advice, Bnt Paid few
the Privilege of Talking for
One Hour.

\ A junior member of a. Dearborn
street law firm, reports the Chicago
Tribune, tells this story OF one of His
first clients:
II had just been appointed junior
member of the firm and relieved the
older members by looking after the
minor cases. One day a well-appear-
| ing man called at the Office and inquired
if l could give him an hour of my time
and what would be the cost. told him,
and he accepted the terms. but added:
This is not to be consultation. I
do not want advice or assistance. I
know perfectly well what / am going

friend to whom can unburden my
self, but if ] pay you to listen ] shall
have right to talk to you freely for the
time agreed upon
81 agreed to this strange proposition
and appointed an hour at noon the fol-
lowing day. The man came promptly,
and l took out cigars and told the
Office boy we fwere not to be disturbed
for an hour.
"tMihd,' the man said, 4 don't want
you to interrupt me. am paying you
to listen
"Then he began. For one hour he
talked as one who never in his life had
unburdened himself to sympathetic
listener. / listened without saying q
word. When the clock struck one the
