A JAPANESE WAR CHARM.
Story Told in Leslie's Monthly Maga- zine for September.

Story Told in Leslie's Monthly Maga-
 zine for September.
 The custom of the Sen Min Rdkf is one that has risen in Japan during the present war. Ever since the war began, at all times of the day, and even night, small groups of women can be seen gathering in the streets; one or more of the women will have a piece of cotton cloth with one thou sand marks or dots stamped upon it. "Sen' is the Japanese word for one thousand. "Nin' is the word for hu- man being-either man or woman "Riki'' is, in the Japanese language, strength. Tn combination the words mean ''the strength of one thousand people" .~'
 Each one of these one thousand dots Or marks in the cloth are to indicate the place where a stitch or knot is to be made by a woman, who, while making this. knot, gives her best thought, wish or prayer for the safe ty and protection of the soldier who will wear this piece of cotton cloth as an 'sobi', Or belt while fighting for his country. The prayers of one thou- sand women for one man are believed to protect hiIn from all dangers and to give him strength to overcome and conquer the enemies of his beloved Japan.

WHY GIRLS LEAVE HOME.

Tn Vance & SulliYan's stirring mel Odrama "Why Girls Leave Home,' ; which comes to Polls Saturday after noon and evening, there is a story that is entirely different from any that has yet been told by melodramat- 1c romances. The scenes of the play are laid in a lively little metropolitan city adjacent to New York. Unusual las 1t may appear, there are no slum scenes, no uncalled for profanity, no gun plays or impossible climaxes in 'tWhy Girls Leave Home.'' but on the contrary wholesome narrative of the happenings in the household of a small and respectable family and in {volvfng especially the events in the ] life of the innocent young girl who thinks the companionship Of glitter land glare not at all unnecessary to the enjoyment of life. The subject is said to be handled with great deli cacy and reverence by the author, who has made play that cannot but interest all. Sale of seats tomorrow at popular prices.

PLEASING THE PEOPLE.

Our friend, MT Poli, the maker as we'll as the manager of many thea ters, has added Springfield to the list of cities in which he will introduce his system of popular entertainments. This is good thing for Springfield.
 MT Poli opened his playhouse in Hartford, wdth a seating capacity of over 2000, a little more than a year ago. We are not willing to believe that there is any auditorium or the same size in any other city that nas held more people in the past $50 days than this place of entertainment on Main street in Hartford. Incidentally it may be mentioned that MT l-oi1 IS richer man by many thousands or dollars than he would have been ir he had not come to Hartford, and nobody has ever complained to us that he has paid money at MT Polls door and has obtained less than his moneys worth in return.
 Last winter was reputed to be a poor season for host of travelling amusement companies. Many of them went to smash "on the road" Many of them deserved to- Of course the theater owners could not be prosper ous under such conditions. But there WAS at. way -IO IICdsSo IliC publIC dIOt keep it's patronage, which MT Poli un- derstood. He provided vaudeville en- tertafnments which the mothers of the town could safely permit their daughters to witness. The American stage has been deluged with coarse buffoonery in recent years. It drew the rabble, but repelled the great mass of the American people. Mir Poli has won his great success by giving entirely refined entertainments and he shall have the credit for It.
 Who would have believed that i'll this community it would be possible in the month of August, the vacation month, to pack big theater full twice day by giving old plays, wrth no sensational features whatever merely good plays given by good company? Yet it has been done, and the parade of white shirt waists on the west side of Hartford's Main street at 5 o'clock on every week day afternoon Is as remarkable a sight as can be seen in any American city. Such success is very interesting, as we'll as praiseworthy, and there is no reason why the Times should not bear witness to the fact-Hartford Times.

 As announced yesterday, the season of 1904-05 at the Jacques will open Monday afternoon next, August 20, and already lovers of vaudeville are making glad over the announcement. They have felt the lack of high class Vaudeville during the summer and have been looking with expectant an tticipation for the day when the ]Jacques would again be opened to them. Manager Poli, however, has not been idle during the summer. but has busted himself with arrangements

 is patrons here as well as in the

 laid without suspicion of exaggera-
 ion that during the season which be gins next Monday vaudeville patrons will have the opportunity of seeing Ehe very finest attractions and the very latest novelties that the vaude- Svil1e markets of Europe and America provide, new connections that Mana ger Poli has made in New York.

For the opening week, beginning with the mat inee next Monday, August 29, the feature attraction will be Dean Ed sail and her company in Miss Ed sails charming comedietta, "A Wild Rose" Miss Edsall is particular favorite here because of previous sue cesses, and she will receive a royal welcome as the feature of the opening week.

Some of these may be very profit
ably taken up by farmers as well MS
gardeners, advises Rural New Yorker.
In some localities the farmers follow
this course to such an extent that it is
hard to tell just when farming leaves
off and gardening begins. 1t is a good
practice, and the small farmers are
often able to turn as much clear money
on two or three acres of sweet corn, cab
bage, horseradish or like crops as from
their entire regular crops. 1t would
he time well spent for many farmers
fAvorably located to plan for some of
these crops. There is easily $75 to
800 in an acre of sweet corn proper
iy managed, and more than that in
horseradish. With the latter crop
nearby markets are not so much of an
object, as it will stand storing for
high prices and hauling or shipping
to any distance. The sweet corn, how
ever, Is an entirely different matter,
and without easily accessible markets
at the canning factories or the larger
cities for immediate supply the grower
will very likely get caught. Cabbage
also is worthy of attention as 1t may
be easily stored to await favorable
market opportunities or long shipment
If necessary. So there is no reason
why many of the ordinary farms may
not become far more profitable than
as at present conducted.
