AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

Charles B. Hanford was at the Crazv-
ford Christmas matinee and night with
ms own company supporting him in
Shakespear1an productions.
The afternoon performance was 1.-THE
Merchant of Venice and the night
performance Richard III" Mr. Han
lord "Shylock' is not as pleasing as
MS Petrucio" he played here a year
ago ana his Richard III is not up to
the same standard. NE. Hanford has
been seen in Topeka annually for sew
eral years, with. his own company.
since he left the James Hartford Kid
der tEiumvirate Mr. Hanford's begin
ming was as a business manager in the
theatrical business and he drifted into
paying when he was needed He did so
well that he gave up managing and de-
voted himself to acting Mr.. Hanford
plays Shakespearian roles in the ac-
cepted style which pleases the major
ity of theatergoers. His wife. Miss
Drofnah, is the leading lady in the
company this season. She is far su-
periorato other leading ladies the COM
pany has had during the past few sea-
sons. Miss DrOfnahS "Portia'' and
Lady Anne" mark her as a careful
and entertaining actress. Mr.. Hanford
is a good actor and far better out of
ShakeSpear than in. AS the old soldier
in the curtain raiser 1.-The Old Guard"
which Mr.. HanfOrd used with his pro-
ductiOn of THE Tanning of the Shrew ;"
ficult roles. Mr.. Hanford was more
pleasing and did better acting in "The
Old Guard" than in any Shakespearian
role he has assayed. Still, Mr.. Hartford
tried a play, of the civil war period
named Private John Allen" and it
was not a great financial success He
played it one season and went back to
Shakespear. He draws larger audiences
and makes more money playing in the
classic roles than in any Others A
good reason for his keeping up his
Shakes earian repertoir. Last night
few people left the house during the
performance but every one doesn't en-
joy Shakespear.
Mr.. Hanford's home is in Washing
ton, d. c. On his tours he travels west
ward He is best known to the play
gOers west of Washington and is not
so well known in the east. Mr.. and
Mrs. Hanford are not in the Ward
James Skinner-Rehan class of Shakes
pearian actors although the prices they
charge are just as high. Neither are
of the plays by Hanford on the same
scale as those of the other named
actors. Far from ii. Still the prices
are equal which is about the only point
of similarity.

Grand Christmas matinee and night.

is in and taking that into considera-

Attention

Why remain in the North and
stay in doors six months in the
year consuming what you raise
during the other six months?
Go South where you can work
out doors every month in the
year, and where you are pro-
ducing something the year
round. If you are a stock raiser
you know your stock are now
eating their heads off, and.
besides, have to be protected
from the rigors of winter by ex-
pensive shelter.
Economical stock feeding re-
ouires the combination of both
fesh-forming and fat-forming
foods in certain proportions.
Alabama and Florida produce in
abundance the velvet bean and
cassava, the first flesh pro-
Queer and the latter a fat pro-
Queer, and they are the cheapest
and best fatten1ng materials
known to the world
More money can be made and
with less labor, in general farm
ing, fruit and berry growing and
truck gardening along our road
in the South than in any other
section of the Union.

Spring Time the Best Sea-
son of the Year to Treat
Chronic Catarrh.

Notwithstanding that a great number
of people have been cured of chronic
catarrh by taking Peruna during the past
cold season, yet il cannot be denied that
the cold wet. stormy weather has re-
tarded many cures. and. in some cases,
actually prevented a cure.
But springtime has come at last. and
now is the time for all catarrh sufferers
to begin a systematic course of treat
ment for this disease. The greatest diff
fculty in the way OF treating chronic
cstarrh is that the patient is so liable 10
catch cold during the treatment and thus
delay cure.
This liability at this season of the year
is, in a great measure removed, and no
one should neglect the opportunity 10
take treatment.
Peruna is acknowledged by everyone
to be the only reliable and unfailing cure
Of catarrh wherever II may be located.

Wichita People Are Talking About 1T
on Every Corner.

IL Is sometimes an easy matter TO fool
the public. but you can't keep it up very
long They are sure to find you out;
every time a man is fooled another skeptic
is made. Skepticism is allowable when
reading in a home newspaper about some
incident occurring In San Francisco or
Iowa, but the circumstances are entirely
different when it refers to some one right
here at home. Friends and neighbors

with whom you can talk it over. This is
the kind of evidence at the back Of
Doan's Kidney Pills-hOme statements by
home people-and the astonishing local
work they have been doing has. caused
more talk among our citizens than the
doings Of any other modern wonder.

able to work. Any one engaged in my
calling who cannot stoop without suffer

To say l endorse Doans Kidney Pills
mildly expresses my opinion of the
preparation. 1t is surprising how quickly
their effect is felt and what is much bet

taking medicine, for they act upon the
kidneys and the kidneys only. You can
