theater tonight. when Hal Reds new
play, a T5onespun Heart. will be pro-
dGced. Red who seems 70 be an au-
thority on hearts. having once wien q
play called the Human Heart. is the au-
thor OF his new dramatic effort 70 which
he has given the title OF a Homes sun
Heart. Whether there IS q difference be-
tween human hearts and hOmespun hearts
Is q problem quite too difficult for sOlu-
ton. Perhaps II Is better 70 take things
as they come. and permit Mr.. Reid 70
have his way about It, without asking any
questions. Hearts are trumps. anyhow IN
his dramas. and in this fact he conGuers.
Smiles and tears tell the tale OF sympa-
thetic interest, and this should be consid-
cred proof Of the pudding. A Homespun
Heart IS q quiet melocraIna and plays on
the highest and the lowest strings OF the
human nature. The extreme OF good ard
bad is presented, with final triumph for
the good, and therefore cannot be ca
viled IN t. least on the score OF its teach
ing. The home OF the story is down east

picture OF pure country life. marred by r.
naucisl troubles. with n injection OF the
worlds evils, seen oftenest IN cities The
extremes OF good and bad are presented
in z natural way that IS self-evident- This
is the real merit OF the play. There are
sctne pretty scenes in A Homespen Heart.

WELLINGTON, Kan, Nov. 17.-Safe-
blowers raided Milan. a small town six
teen miles west of here, at an early
hour today, and after entering every
prominent store, among them the one
in which the postoffice is located, wreck
the safe and fixtures of the Milan State
bank with dynamite. Two doors were
blown off the safe, but the third, on
which was the time lock, resisted the
force of the Y explosives. and citizens
rushed into the streets with shotguns
and drove the robbers away before they
had secured any plumber.
Believing the robbers were concealed
in the bank, a posse kept watch until
daylight, when it was discovered they
had escaped Secreted in vault in the
bank was $4,000, for which no search
was made. AS a result of the raid the
robbers secured a few dollars. Blood
hounds from Wichita were taken to Mil
an, but they refused to take the scent,
and the pursuit was abandoned.

The Globes Daily Short story

ence that one of the 'oneSomest feelings
in the world is to get all ones baggage
ready for the train and then find out
that there must be wait of six or eight
hours. Being becalmed at sea or susper-
sion in a balloon that will neither go up
ror down, is wild excitement in compar7
ison with it. And thus by the very law
of contrasts Winston had an opportunity.
that was blushing red with ripeness, and
he lost no time in embracing 1t, for how
could he know that Thompson may not
have jumped off the train and that he
might be on his way to the house now.
driving like mad?. AS a matter of fact,
Thompson was on the train speeding
cityward. but Winston had no inTorma
ton that he was. So Winston put his
case with succinctness that was worthy
of him, and finding no opposition he
began to elaborate and all the pent-up
affection and language of his heart, soui
and tongue flowed in pactelian streams.
Then when he took her hand-a most
beautiful hand-well, shortly afterwards
Mrs. Donald came in, and she was IN
formed of the result
She smiled as if she was not grieved.
Irving she said, 81 have really been
in doubt as to which of you-you- or Kent

it seemed to me that matters in Elean-
Kent, and then fo,od that I preferred
you. But I really expected it would be
Kent"
There has been a change in the sched-
ule,'' replied Winston. and they laughed
at the recollection of Ben.
But this was not al. The engagement
was signed, sealed aud ratified before
luncheon. In the afternoon there was
more solemn discussion.

day and all go together on the 500 train
tomorrow morning?"
1t seemed preposterous, but as it was
discussed and as Wnston's eloqaence
grew the difficulties seemed to fade.
Neither wanted a fussy wedding, and
the Rev. DR.. Brown lived only "a half
mile away. They talked it over until
almost tea time, and then they placed
the matter before Mrs. Donald. She
was shocked.

you would wait at least two or three
months
There has been another change in the
schedule said WINSTON
ct looks to me- replied Mrs. Donald,
''as if you were trying to run a special
train
In a way they did. Ben went for the
Rev. DR.. Brown, and amid the packed
trunks there was a solemn ceremony.
The next morning Ben was not veXed
or delayed by any new "skeedaddles" or
time benches He was in full time for
the 500, and when ne saw the engine
pull out and waved good luck TO the
happy couple, he said with a radiant
smile:

it's bad for Mars Winston"
Winston knew that Thompson would
board the train at the station above that
used by the Donalds. and there was
ray of hope in the possibility OF getting
in a word before the start was maze,
but it was so dim that 1t only lncreas-
ed his melancholy, and he closed his
eyes in despair. Then he opened them
again. He'd try it anyhow. This was
the thought that lasted through the rest
of the night and made him walk up and
down the porch the next morning, look
ing towards Ben's place down near the
lower gate to see when he would hitch
up the team to go over for the Donalds.
Shortly before s he saw Ben lead out
the horses, and he made his way down
the hill to the stable He told Ben
that he would ride over to the DonaidS
with him, and Ben grinned as If there
was something unusual IN his saus-
faction.

GUESSED IT WRONG
GERMAN SPECTATORS DIsAP-
POINTED IN RETIREMENT OF
THE N. p. PREFERRED
FIGURED ON AT LEAST 115
influence of United States Stock
Operations Are strongly Felt In
Germany, Especially
in Iron.

BERLIN, Nov. 1.-THE redemption OF
Northern Pacific stock by the. Northern
Securities company and the iron report
both American matters, were subjects OF
foremost interest on the boerse during
the past week.
In it's financial article the Kreuz Zei-
tung says: THE influence of the United
States stock exchange and the United
States generally continue to be very
strongly felt here
An advance in New York quotations,
this paper says, regularly causes cor
responding rise in Berlin the following
day, and Berlin obediently bulls the
market when New York rises. The Kreuz
Zeitung does not consider this fact as
Indicative of German economic depend
ence upon the United States. This al
ready exists But continues the pa
per, 1.-THE danger draws nearer"
The retirement of Northern Pacific at
par caused considerable disappointment
among German spectators, who expected
this redemption to be effected at lis.
General regret is felt at the disappear
ance of Northern Pacific preferred from
the German market, as this stock has
always been one of the most active Sc
curities on the Berlin and Frankfort
bCerses.
Iron Market Strengthening.
A strong American iron market i'm
parted strength to German iron markets
during the week. Notwithstanding the re-
ports to the effect that the outlook con-
tinues bad. The Frankfurter Zeitung
says:
'The danger Of American competition
in the German iron market is growing.
OF course, the American demand is at
present so strong that imports from the
United States are impossible, but the time
is probably not distant when the United
States will throw her product not only
into the markets Of the world, but will
also begin competition in Germany"
The temper of the boerse during the
last week was markedly better, although
transactions remained light. ALI depart
ments show gains, particularly iron and
bank shares The rise in the latter is
due to the announcement that the gov
eminent has completed the bill reform
