Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

One reason why the sensational aero batic act of Delmar and Lee, which leads the list of attractions at the Jacques this week, is so effective is the fact that it is presented in a set ting that is most effective. The stage is enclosed in black cyclorama and the only light seen comes from the front in soft mellow flood which throws a misty cloud over the evOlu- tions of the athletes. The apparatus is brilliantly nickeled and the garb of the performers is white silk tights which outline every rounded muscular curve and the 1.-the rinplllg muscles as they come into play for, each sneceS= siye part. The swinging bodies cast fantastic silhouettes on the black walls of the cyclorama and themselves execute in an eerie fashion the mar vels which the originals perform on the revolving ladder. The same artis- tic effort made by Delmore and Lee characterizes the other acts on the bill! and May Duryea and William MOrti- mer. the Allisons, the marvellous Franks, the Girl Behind the Drum Walter and Prouty, and Dudley an( Cheslin. all strive for a similar end. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents, ladies 10: afternoons 10 and % cents. Christ mas gifts for the little ones Saturday afternoon.

 Representative Charles w. Wharton of Chicago. who has laid claim to the title of being the kid" in point of years in the lower house of congress, is not even ''one. two, three" for that honor if the Congressional Record and the testimony of the friends of one of the other young representatives from Illinois is to be believed, says Leroy T. Vernon, the Washington correspondent of the Chicago News At least one and possibly two other Illinois men are younger than Wharton. and one repre- sentative from Tennessee: Represents tive Garrett. is younger.

Frank Stod- dard Dickson. who represents the Twenty-third illinois district, has mod estly refrained from putting his age in the congressional directory, but the newspapers of his district have claim ed him to be only twenty-seven.

AUTOMATIC SERVICE.
Device to Serve Course Dinner With
 out Entering Kitchen.

A clever young inventor living in Germantown who has often been the victim of the incompetency and incon- stancy of his wife's servants has been contemplating a device which he says will enable his wife to serve a course dinner without going into the kitchen. even if the servant has quit at the cru cial moment, says the Philadelphia Rec ord.
 His scheme Is to have an under ground trolley from the kitchen, with an attachment to a wide wooden gutter large enough to hold every size of serv- Ing dish. and presumably steam heated. % that soups. vegetables and entrees will not grow cold in the process. When the hostess and her guests are seated she needs only to touch an ln- visible button and the soup fureen will soon precipitate itself on the table: an- other manipulation. and the soup will disappear: still another. and the roasts and vegetables will come stesming to their place at the table. and SO on until the complete dinner has been served. up to the very last dish of salied alm- onds and demitssse.

BIG KANSAS CORN CROP.
Pupils Dismissed From Schools to
 Help In the Husking.

Pupils Dismissed From Schools to
 Help In the Husking.
 Kansas will produce an unusually large crop of corn this year, says To peka correspondent of the St. Louis Globe Democrat It is large in the number of bushels which will be pro duced on each acre. and the ears and stalks of the grain itself are large. Photographs of cornfields which have been received by F. D. coburn. secre- tary of the State Agricultural society. show that the cornstalks will be enor- nous. Some of the stalks which have been shipped to the statehouse at To peka are from fourteen to seventeen feet in height. and 1t is eight feet from the ground to the first ear of corn. These large stalks have nourishment in them. for more than one ear of corn is on each stalk. and on many there are two and three full sized ears.
 One evidence of the size of the corn crop Is the fact that in many agricuI- tural districts the schools were dis
 
 missed for two weeks in order that the pupils might be allowed to help their parents husk the corn. Reports have been received by l. L. Dayhof. state superintendent of public instruction. from several districts in which the pu- pils and the teachers were helping the farmers gather their large corn crops before cold weather began. In one school district in Nemaha county. a few miles south of Sabefha, the board of trustees decided upon a vaca- ton which shah last until after Christ mas for the purpose of allowing the larger boys to work in the cOrnhelds
 Some of the largest cornheIds and the best production in the state are near the northern border. This is the corn belt. L. W Chesley. who lives near Frankfort. in the heart of the corn belt. has sent to Mr. Coburn a photo- graph of one Of his helds. The stalks Ire much taller than he. and be is a Ean Of more thnn six feet in height.

JAP NOVELIST A STUDENT.
showgiO Tamurn, Author of Sever Novels, Enters Indiana University.


 Novels. Enters Indiana University.
 Showgio Tamura. one of Japan's best known novelists, has entered In diana university and expects to be graduated with the class of 1907, says a Bloomington Qnd.l correspondent of the Indianapolis News. He Is twenty seven years old and was born in Tosa, Japan. He graduated from the Ishi- kawa State academy at the age of sev- enteen and later attended the Ancient Literature college at Tokyo. For two years he was pupil of Rohan Koda. famous Japanese author.
 Mir. Tamura came to the United States two years ago and for short time was editor of Japanese paper at Seattle. Later he was editor of Japanese paper in Los Angeles, Cal. Through the influence of Masuji Miya- kawa, a Japanese lawyer of San Fran cisco and who is a graduate of In-. diana university, Tamura decided to enter here, and he began his work the other day.
 Tamura has written seven novels and numerous short stories. Among his novels are "Wakadanna" (Young Gen tlemen), "afihomonagatari" Story of Miko), "afolsureito" (Mixed Threads and "Sankoro" CThree Towers of the Lakeside).
 He is so modest that one must get bis record from others, as he does not parade his ability or his reputation. Japanese students say he is one of fif- teen of Japan's best known authors, and, considering his age, he stands at the top of the list of novelists in Japan.
 He has taken quarters at the Phi Gamma Delta chapter house and will be one of the assistants in taking care of the residence He does this in order to get acquainted with American ways and to obtain a more thorough knowL edge of the English language, In ad- dition to his work i'll the university he expects to do literary work.

The recent appointment of Arthur L. Bates of Pennsylvania to the naval af- fairs committee is because of the fact that Erie, the only port in his district, is the mother-in-law of the navy; at least that's what the officers call her.
 The old cruiser Michigan, now named the Wolverine. goes into winter quarters there every year from November till May. She has done so every year since 1S44. The officers have nothing to do all winter except to court the Erie girls, and the resulting havoc is ter rife. An amateur statistician looked the matter up a year ago and found that f1fty-four commissioned officers had married Erie girls. to say nothing of the countless warrant officers: hence Fries unique and honorable position in the minds of navy men and hence her need for representation on the naval affairs committee.

 My people back home are as well in- formed and up to date as people any where" said Senator Knute Nelson of Minnesota as he entered the senate chamber few days ago with fellow senator, says the Washington core spondent of the New York Times, but some of 'em now and then give the old man bad jog. Here is letter I got from Ole Rasmussen of Sleepy Eye. He says: When you go to the capitol the next time please go in the pension office and get my pension increase pushed through. and then see if the fish commission will give us some trout seed up here. Same time see the post master general and have Nils Swenson made postmaster at Koday. and if you see him tell Secretary Wilson we all up here want plenty new cabbage next spring. Same tirne go in attorney gen erals office and poke up Moody to get Halyor Holvors out of jail for selling whisky to Indians. That's all now. Thanking you for past fayors, yours, etc.

Representative J. Adam Bede of Min nesota, who, much to his discomfort, is always expected to be funny, called on the president recently to ask favor.
 "Mr President" he said, you were 90 good as to let the naval reserve of my state have the Fern up on Lake Superior. Now I want to get permis- sion to change her name"
 The president said he saw little to ob- ject to in that suggestion if the name was good one.
 Well" said Mfr. Bede, we want a distinctive name. Michigan is known as the Wolverine State. Wisconsin is the Badger State. Minnesota has been called the Gopher State. We would like to have the boat called the Gopher"
 That's gOod.' said the president, if Secretary Bonaparte does not find fault with your zoology"
 "our gophers are not the common little striped ones of the west. but the big gray ones" said Mir Bede. "and think I can mix him up on the zoolo- g of the little beasts sufficiently to get past Mir. Bonaparte."
