 Another hit was scored last night at the Bijou Theatre by the DePew Bur dette Stock Company presenting the Heart"
 This is one of the best plays Tn the entire repertoire of the company and in spite of the wet weather a fair sized audience was on hand to applaud the members of the company.
 Mir. DePew invested "A Homespun Heart" with much human interest by his clever original interpretation of the leading part. Mir. Burdette was swung into the cast to appear in the promi- nent climaxes with his usual force. Miss August Bell, the dancing little girl, was the delight of the audience in her specialties between acts. She has been an attractive feature at the Bijou ali the week.

CHIEF OF MANS CONSIDERS
Colonel Robert C. InEersOlPs EIO-
quent Tribute 90 the Pipe
of Peace.

Four centuries ago Columbus, the adven-
turous, on the blessed isle of Cuba. saw
happy people with rolled leaves between
their lips. Above their heads were little
clouds OF smoke Their faces were serene
and in their eyes was the autumnal look
of content These people were kind, inno-
cent. gentle and loving.
The climate of Cuba is the friendship of
the earth and the air and OF this climate
the sacred leaves were born-leaves that
bred in the mind OF him who uses them
the cloudless. happy days in which they
grew.
These leaves make friends and celebrate
with gentle rites the vows OF peace. They
have given consolation TO the world. They
are the companions of the lonely. the
workers in mines, of fellers of forests, of
sailors on the deep seas. They are the
givers of strength and calm to the vexed
and wearied minds of those who build with
thought and brain the temples of the soul.
They tell of hope and rest. They smooth
the wrinkled brows of care; drive fear
and strange misshapen breads from out
the mind and I'LL the heart with rest and
peace. Within their magic warp and
wool some potent, gracious spell impris-
oned lies that, when released by fire. doth
softly steal within the fortress of the
brain and bind in sleep the captured sen
tinels of care and grief. These leaves are
the friends of the fireside and their smoke
like incense rises from myriads OF happy
homes. Cuba is the smile OF the sea.

corn knives go ahead Of the wagon and cut
on the flowers. leaving about ten inches OF
the stalk for a hold. AS fast as the pods
are cut they are thrown TO one OF the men
or boys in the wagon, who is waiting his
turn, and he begins to pound the flower
The seed falls out into the wagon and the
emptied pod Is thrown overheard. After
the seed is hauled TO the barn It Is cleaned
in machine and then sacked to be deliv-
cred later to the Pernetts. A bushel Of
sunnower seed weighs about thirty-two
pounds, and the present price is about s.
cents bushel though II is not sold that
way, the price being fixed at so much a
pound This year the price is about cents
An acre OF ground will yield 800 to LOO

pounds are harvested from an acre Of extra
good ground when the season has been IA
vorable.

Good Feeling in Hardware.
There is apparently entire agreement
among the trade that October business IL
OF great volume, perhaps In excess OF that
Of any previous year up to this time. The
read with pleasure as rejecting very gem
erel activity, and the prevalence OF most
sssistaSfoIry and promising i conditions TN IN
tone of the market is decidedly strong, and
in several lines IL is becoming increasingly
difficult to place orders on advantageous
terms as a few weeks ago, while at the
same time some definite advances are to be
noted. The strength OF the iron market,
together with the great pressure upon the
mills and furnaces, are features OF the
situation which have Immediate effect
on hardware and manufactured products
generally into which this material enters,
as the influence OF the higher prices for
Iron is being felt by manufacturers all
along the line. Heavy goods are naturally
responding to the impulse and rising
gradually to a higher level OF price. The
enect upon trade generally Is, however,
not so much In the immediate enhance
ment Of values as In inducing a rpirit OF
confidence in regard to business and stimu-
lating industry and enterprise. The basis
for the we'll being OF the agricultural class
Is found In the magnificent crops which
are rewarding the farmers labors and
will In the near future be putting into cir
culation great sums of money thus con-
tributing greatly to business activity.
There is for merchants generally sum-
mons TO energy and enterprise in the pros
ecution OF business in the expectation Of
a large volume of trade and OF prosperous
conditions which should tend to reward
their efforts with success.
