And Hugos tales of crime
l cannot read the old books,

My desk is piled with latest books

Hopes new one isn't opened yet,
I've not read James last; 80
And Howell is SO prolific now,

MISCHIEF MAKER.
A Surprise in Brooklyn.

An adults food that can save a baby
proves itself to be nourishing and easily
digested and good for big and little
folks A Brooklyn man says: when
baby was about eleven months old he
began to grow thin and pale. This was,
at first, attributed to the heat and the
fact that his teeth were coming, but, In
reality, the poor little thing was starv-
ing. his mothers milk not being suffi-
cient nourishment.
One day after he had cried bitterly
for an hour. suggested that my wife
try him ON Grape-Nuts. She soaked
two teaspoonfuls in saucer with lit
tie sugar and warm milk. This baby
ate SO ravenously that she fixed a sec
ond which he likewise finished 1t was
not many days before he forgot all
about being nurSed, and has since lived
day the boy is strong and robust, and
as cute a mischief-maker as a thirteen
months old baby is expected to be.
We have put before him other foods,
but he will have none of them, evidently
prefering to stick to that which did him
so much good in his time of need-his
old friend Grape-Nuts.
Use this letter any way you wish, for
my wife and / can never praise Grape
Nuts enough after the brightness it has
brought to our household. These state
ments can be verified by anyone who
wishes to make a visit to our home"

exponent of Queen Katherine which the
English speaking stage has produced
in several decades, and to Mr..
James as the all powerful but over am
bilious Cardinal should be an artistic
treat such as is rarely offered. The
play moreover with its pageantry, court
splendors, and martial pomp, lends
itself to effective stage settings, field
in which Managers Wagerhals and
Kemper are practically pre-eminent in
this country In their production of
Henry VIII they are said to have ex-
celled themselves, which would seem an
exaggeration when one recalls their
presentation of "A Midsummer Nights
Dream last season. It has been their
wish to make the Modjeska- James tour
only less memorable than the famous
tour of Modjeska and Edwin Booth
years ago, and from all accounts their
ambition is being amply fulfilled.
When Madame Modjeska went to Eu-
rope last spring it was her intention to
remain there for some years at least
if not permanently. Her return to
America was brought about by MeSSrS-
Wagenhals and Kemper's successful
efforts to induce Mr.. Louis James to
become a joint star With her. The
popular desire to see both these artists
a bonanza to the mana cement, and at
the same time exert an influence for
good over the legitimate stage, which
can not be effaced for many years to
come. The organization numbers thir-
ty-seven players. Two cars are utilized
in the transportation of the combina-
tons scenery
The company is an excellent one It
includes the well known leading man.

T MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

Notwithstanding the fact that Kan
sas is supposed to have suffered from
a drouth the past summer, the farmers
of the state this year produced more
than seventeen million dollars more
wealth than they did last year, which
was a record breaker. and forty-five
million dollars worth more than two
years ago. 1t is matter of specula-
ton what the state would have done
had there been no drouth. The idea
alone is tremendous When one stops
to think that the wheat crop alone this
summer was the biggest crop ever
raised in any state in the history of the
world, it shows what Kansas can do
in a ''drouthy'' year.
These figures are shown by the last
crop bulletin for 1901, just issued by the
state board of agriculture, presenting a
final summary of the agricultural, hor-
ticultural and live stock products of
the state-yieldS, numbers and values,
including winter and spring wheat, the
yield of which is the largest ever pro-
duced in any year by any state.
Notwithstanding the shortage in
value of the diminished corn crop there
is a net increase of SASS, 246 in the
value of this years agricultural pro-
auctions over that of 1900, making the
total for these. as it is in live stock
values, the greatest in the states his
tory.
Oats and rye each have an increased
value, amounting to ST. 05, 1876 together,
although the former crop fell more
than 10 million bushels below the 1900
yield, while the production of rye is
greater by nearly So per cent. Irish and
sweet potatoes are less by 5 million
bushels than last year.
Other crops, mostly of minor import
ance, show decreases in both yields and
values, except tame and prairie hay,
which, together, although having fewer
tons, are given a value exceeding last
years by $7,31S,602 or 1913 per cent;
also the sorghums for grain and forage
this year are worth more than last by
81, ,339 or 13.1 per cent
For the surplus animals slaughtered
or sold for that purpose the total value
is $50. 9022. 241, an increase over the prev
ious year of more than Sc. $50. 900 or IL
per cent, while the value OF the dairy
and poultry products and wool exceeds
their combined value in 1900 by 81, ILL.,
O45.
All live stock have increased in num-
bers except sheep and swine, which
show comparatively slight decreases,
but the total value amounts to $153,-
037, 1872, a net increase for the year OF
50. SIS, 979.
The aggregate value of all farm pro-
ducts and live stock in 1901, the largest
ever reported for the state, is $34S, 292,-
