SATISFIED HIS WORK WAS GOOD
Joe Jefferson Convinced There Had
Been No Failing on.

who became fearful lest his Rip was
becoming mechanical and his audi 'nce
responding more from habit than any
thing else. To satisfy himself he con-
ceived the following:
In company with an old friend, Mr..
Jefferson called at remote farmhouse
occupied by a family of really Puritan
simplicity, who, far from ever having
seen a theater, had heard little or
nothing of actors.
1t was Sunday evening, and after a
simple and homely service the little
company gathered around the log fire
and the actor began to tell a story.
1t was the old story of a "ne'er do
welI' who left his home and wife and
child, went up into the mountains, fell
asleep there, etc. In a word, the IA
miliar story of old rip Van Wrinkle"
himself.
AS jefferson told the story he acted
it with words and gesture, his little
audience listening spellbound. First
came the tribute of silence, then
laughter and finally that greatest of
all tributes to an actor-tears The
old farmers face was bathed in tears:
the wife's face was buried in her apron
to hide her emotion.
Are you convinced?" whispered his
friend.
Its all right replied jefferson,
and he went home happy man

ROBBED IN TOPEKA.
Amos McKanna Relieved ofVaIuabIes
in Depot Crush.


Emporia, Oct. 24-Amos McKanna was
robbed of a diamond pin and twenty dol
lars in money in Topeka yesterday. Mr.
McKanna, who was formerly an engineer
has retired from the road on account of
age. He and his wife went to Great Bend
few days ago. From there Mr.. McKan-
ma went to Kansas City alone.
While in Kansas City he met Mr.. Rookie
Teller, who gave him handsome diamond
stick pin to give to his (Rockefeller's)
niece, who is also a grandchild of Mr.
McKanna- He stuck the pin in his tie.
When he went to get out at Topeka
the cars were crowded. At the door a well
dressed stranger accosted him with a
Hello, comrade, touching Mr.. McKanna's
G. A. R. button and adding, 81 am not a
comrade but am a comrades son. at
the same time exhibiting a Sons of Vet
Grams button.
He fell in behind the old gentleman.
Suddenly a fellow in front of McKanna
stopped down. The stranger behind spoke
to the fellow in front and began pushing

took the diamond pin and a pocketbook
containing about $50 in money. McKan-

stranger seated in one of the cars talking
loudly of the robbery. When accused he
called loudly for the conductor. who
threatened to put the old gentleman off
for accusing one of his passengers of rob-
berry. At the next station the stranger
disappeared. Mr.. McKanna does not
mind the loss of the money as much as
that of the gift to his grandchild which
was of considerable worth.

GOVERNMENT WINS.
Noted Tea Case Is Decided Against
the Plaintiffs

New York, Oct. 24-In the United States
circuit court here, Judge Coke has rem
dered opinion in case that has at
tracted wide attention in the tea trade.
The courts decision was in favor of the
defendant, Former Collector of Customs
Ridwell.
The suit was over some country green
teas which had been imported here and
the action was brought to test the con-
stitutionality of the tea standard act of
March 2, 1897, and also the right of the
secretary of the treasury, if the act were
constitutional, to fix such high standards
below which all teas were not allowed to
enter this country.
The standard established in 1901 was
much higher than prior to that time. The
plaintiff imported a lot of country green
tea which was admitted to be below that
standard, but which was claimed to be too
high. The plaintiffs attacked the constitu-
tionality of an act that excluded a whole
some article. That was the first point.
The second was that if the tea standard
act were constitutional the secretary of
the treasury had acted professionally in
selecting so high a standard.
The government asked TO and was
given verdict on the ground that the
plaintiffs had not made out a case,
