MIDGET MAJOR SIGHS
FOR TINY MISS LEWIS
Romance of LiIIiputians Spoiled by
Obdurate Young Woman.

Maj. James D. Doyle, of the Royal
Lilliputians, who takes the part Of Mr.
Dooley, "a sporty old boy, and some
what Of a sparker,' puts a deal Of feel
ing in his song, I'm Unlucky," which
he sings in the first act of Poster
land"
Maj. Doyle will not admit the i'm
parchment, but the members of the
company and Manager Kelly are au-
thority for the statement that the ma
jOr is head over heels in love with one
Of the tiny women of the organization.
The young woman for whom Maj.
Doyle is signing as hard as one Of his
size can sigh, is Miss Inez Lewis, who
is considerably smaller in stature than
even the major, and that. is getting
pretty near the ground.
When Miss Lewis, who takes the
part Of Miss Larks, sings her song,
Roses and Lilies" the major takes a
position in the wings and appears to
enjoy the song more than the audience.
Miss Lewis, who is a native of Iowa,
has declared, before the company not
only once but many times, that 'the
man 1 marry must be full-f1edged
American" and this declaration. causes
Maj. Doyle to look glurn, for report
has it that he is native of the En-
erald isle.
Manag ger Kelly, when questioned last
evening about the romance, said there
were half a dozen of the male members
of the company, who appeared to have
more than a passing regard for Miss
Lewis, but her talk about the American
qualifications of the man she would
marry had a very depressing effect.
1.-The members of the company were
the guests Of the SeIby Bowling club
this afternoon" said Mr.. Kelly, and
the men were very anxious to show the
little women that they were experts on
the alleys. Miss Lewis occupied one
of the front seats while the game was
in progress, and some wonderful scores
were being made, when it was sudden
ly discovered that she had left the
game. Her exit brought the game to
a close much sooner than was expect

Scientific C~orn-grOwing.

In "The Marvels of Corn Gull
ture," in the May Cosmopolitan,
Mr.. A. D. Shamel, of the Illinois
Experiment Station, tells of the ex-
traordinary results of scientific
breeding of corn to produce the most
perfect ear and grain. He tells of
individual instances of Illinois farm
ers who have improved the yield per
acre as much as twenty-five bushels
by using improved seed corn, and a
single farmer. is now planting seven
thousand acres with this scientifcal-
ly tested seed. Mr.. Shamel complains
that INSCRIPTIONS seed dealers have
retarded this movement by adver-
Using, ur.7ar fancy names, really
poor seed corn, shelled from good
ears, poor ears, and nubbins without
selection. After being persuaded by
expensive and beautiful catalogues
to try these seeds, the farmers would
become Disguised and would de-
nounce corn improvement as a fraud.
Mr.. Shamel says that nothing can
be told from shelled corn. All seed
corn should be bought in the ear, so
that if the buyer is not satisfied with
the type it need not be planted.
There is no escape from the fact that
ears will be produced like those of
the seed.
