BY ROBERT A. LERoUx.

/ met "The Man from Chicago" last
night in his dressing room at the Tenn
pie theater and we had most inter-
esting tete-a-tete while he was busy
making himself ugly. AS I was usher
ed into the presence Of "The Royal
Chef" this potentate Of the culinary
department was in the act of enlarg-
ing his nasal organ with colored putty.
Il have to be careful in this work
for fear I'll lose part of my nose when
I'm in the presence Of an audience"
was the quaint way in which Harry
Hermsen opened the conversation. ut
wouldn't look very nice for me to come
to pieces, you know, and that is why
\ have to use great precaution."
Manager Frank Wade was with me
when I was shown into the stars

politeness, the brigand of the show
removed several pieces of wearing APP
parel from one Of the trunks and said:
"Sit down." I did.
Hermsen Behind His Mask.
Hermsen is chap who talks in
bounds. He comes slam bang at you
and then waits to see what effect his
words have had upon you. He is
slightly bald and far from being hand
some, but what he lacks in beauty, you
are rapidly convinced he makes up in
brains. He is witty, knows it, and,
realizing that the gods have not ia
vored all with this asset, is a liberal
dispenser Of witticisms.
my mother Is an American and
my father a Holland Dutch" WIS the
opening Of Mr.. Hermsen's autobiog-
raphy given me by himself. 1T is
customary with the Hollanders that
their children should learn a trade

living. was quite an entertainer
among my friends in st. Louis and
they compelled me to go out and earn
living on the stage. That's my life
from start to finish.
| Wouio spring . Local Joke.
II see by your paper tonight that a
fellow sent a 1ve-dollar bill to the
wash I've made up joke-maybe
it's only an alleged one-and I'm go
ing to spring it in Moscow. You know
the fight that the churches had at one
time about accepting money from
Rockefeller because they claimed 1t
was tainted. Well, I'm going to say
that there is one honest bartender in
this town and that he sent this bill
to the laundry because he thought it
had been won at gambling and was
tainted-and--and-'
| l waited for more, but 1t was not
forthcoming.

POLITICS AND POLITICIANS.

Mayor Tom l.. Johnson of Cleveland
is of the opinion that Mr.. Bryans ad-
vocacy of government ownership of
railroads will force Mr.. Roosevelt to
run for president again.
George A. Garden OF Dallas, the new
chairman of the democratic state COM
mittee of Texas, was a newspaper man
in Chicago before he went into law
and politics.
Senator Tillman's opinion of the
Bryan home coming: This great
hooray in New York is legitimate in a
way, and yet there is an element of
hidden management in it, a slight odor
of the manufactured product
John w. Langley, disbursing and
appointment clerk Of the census office,
recently resigned to accept the repub-
lican nomination for congress in the
10th Kentucky district.
New Orleans is possessed with the
idea that the next democratic national
convention should be held there. The
Crescent City has never entertained a
national political convention.
Before the Bryan boom gathered
strength in the central west, Senator
Bailey Of Texas was much talked of
for the democratic presidential nom-
nation and some of his friends would
not be surprised If he gets back into
the race.
In no state of the Union are the re-
publicans displaying more activity in
the present campaign than in Mis-
souri,. The campaign has begun in
| earnest and from now on the state
will be flooded with republican ora
tory Some of the noted speakers 70

President Fairbanks, Speaker Cannon
and Congressman James E. Watson of
Indiana.

the governorship. 1t was scarcely six
months ago that Hearsts New York
paper in leading editorial. addressed
Murphy as follows: "You have COM
mitted crimes against the people that
will send you for many years to the
state prison, If the crime can be prov
ed against you. II you ever sit in the
prisoners dock, you will not come out
except in striped clothing"

WHERE TO PUT BULB GARDEN.
A Slope to the South, We'll Drained, 10
Ideal Location for Bulbs.
Home Magazine.

The soil in which bulbs should be
planted cannot be too carefully pre-
pared, as much Of ones success with
this class of plants depends upon this
most important item 1t must be rich
and it must be fine and mellow.
The best fertilizer for bulbs is old
cow manure-so old that it is black
from decomposition and crumbles
readily when worked over with hoe or
iron rake. One third in bulk of this
material is not too much. Bulbs are
great eaters. and unless they, are we'll
fed you cannot expect large or fine
crops Of flowers from them. And
ev must be we'll supplied with nu-
tritious feed each year, because the
crop of next season depends largely
upon the nutriment stored up this
season.
The ideal location for bulbs is one
that Is naturally drained and has a
slope to the south. Unless drainage is
good, success will not result, as moth
ing Injuries a bulb more than water
~N~N SO sA'"NN'' IL you 10
not have place suitable for them so
far as natural drainage Is concerned,
see to 1t that artificial drainage makes
up for the lack. Shake up the bed to
the depth of at least a foot and a
half That Is, throw the soil out of
t to that depth and fill in to the
depth of three or four inches with ma
terial which will not readily decay

from the coal stove, coarse gravel

on through the cracks and crevices in
IL, thus securing a system of drainage
that VIII answer all purposes perfect
". 1t is of the utmost Importance that
this should be- done in all heavy soils
II 1t is not dpne, YOU need not expect
any flowers from your bulbs after the
FIRST season. After having arranged

mellow as it is possible to make It.

IN THE KITCHEN With 1.-THE
ROYAL Chef"

This pun led to a chat along the
lines regarding his jokes.
THAT Hearst story which I sprung
here is not the one which l use the
season through. For instance, just be-
fore the bench trick, when Miss Mabel
sits down and asks me to please tell
her story, say that Hearst is going
to be the next president. She asks
il that is story and l say: No,
that's a lie Well, l don't use Hearst
