JESSIE MAE HALL.

Among many other things which the American stage can boast, Is the smallest woman. not a midget, who is at the same time one of the clev. crest actresses and singers of this country. She is Miss Jessie Mae Hall, who stands only four feet eight inches in her tiny shoes. Miss Hall has made many songs famous in the popular music-loving world. She has sung into success, to say nothing of hosts of less noted songs, T Wish I'd Been Born a Boy," The Buzz Saw and the Bee" and My old Rag Doll" Like other true artists, Miss Hall Is partial to the classical vein, and has broad knowledge of that field of musical training. This year Miss Hall is being starred under the direction of Oliver Morosco, the we'll known western manager, in a play of southern life, called "A Southern Vendetta" which will be the attrac- ton at Polls Wednesday afternoon and evening. Prices 25, 35 and 50 cents matinee 26 cents. Telephone 11o,

WAR ON WILD CARROT.
Park Department in Campaign
 Determination Characteristics.

Hartfort. Sept 11r-The park de- pertinent like other property owners. is making war on wild carrot and the employees are vigorously at work exterminating the weed. Su- perintendent Parker said, to-day. that the wild carrot plant Is of very strong vitality. It is what may be called a biennial plant. The first year 1t devotes all its nourishment to the root and leaves above the ground a fiat stumpy growth that the cut ter does not effect. The second
 year 1t lives on the nourishment its root has absorbed and develops a flower that turns into great quanti- ty of seed This ends the life of the plant.
 Superintendent Parker said the drain on the root the second year reduces the root considerably in size. He compared the proceeding with a man who works one month and saves a lot of money and then lays on the next and spends 1t all.He said the only way to properly exterminate the wild carrot is to pull out the plant. This should be done the second year when the root reduced in size does not fit its hole and Is easily extracted, and also when the seed is in the milk. If the plant is cut down and allowed to remain where 1t falls the seed will germinate just the same with the resultant bad appearing conse- Quences. The park department: burns all the plants it removes.
