shubert-yaudeviIle.

About six years ago George M. Conan,
now one Of the most popular actors on the
American stage, but at that time only a
budding vaudeville performer, appeared at
the Empire Theatre, this city, in a skit
called THE Governors Son." The little
sketch proved SO good a drawing card
that it was later enlarged into a three
act musical farce, having already proved
Cohan's stepping-stone to fame and for
tune. The original playlet Of The Gov
o~vernor's Son" brought up to date, minus
the dashing Mr.. Cohan, was reproduced
last night as the star number Of the vaude-
Vile program at the Shubert Theatre, and
to say that the local theatregoers were
pleased to renew its acquaintance would be
putting it mildly.
Of course Bobby Barry, who figures in
the role OF Algy Wheelock. the Governors
son, Is not George NJ. Cohan, but all the
fun Of the playlet Is there and the COM

BOOKS FOR CHILDREN.
First of Series of Talks on Subject in
Public Library.

The first of the talks ou "Children's
Books was given by Miss Clara w. Hunt,
of Brooklyn, at the Public Library on
Monday. Miss Hunt drew a definite line
about the books written for children and
those written about children, and i'm
pressed her hearers forcibly by her
analysis of the weakness and strength of
many %well-known writer's for young
people.
The literary value, the moral character
and the strength of the interest in a book
were discussed as necessary factors to be
considered in choosing stories for children.
Publishers and different book lists were
considered, because a clear knowledge of
the kind Of publications the different
houses stand for is an aid in book selec-
ton.

Cost of Hauling Crops.

The bureau Of statistics recently sent
out a special inquiry circular to ascer-
tain the cost Of hauling farm crops to
shipping points, and the compiled re-
suits representing replies from nearly
1000 counties in different parts Of the
United States indicate that the guam
tity Of farm produce annually hauled
amounts to 100000 tons. The cost
of hauling the same Is estimated at ap-
proximately SS5,OOO,OOO, which is an
average of S1a cents per hundred
weight.
In general, the hauling cost Is to a
large extent dependent upon the value
Of the articles hauled, the more valu-
able products taken to market oftener
and in smaller loads, and therefore at
greater cost. Corn, wheat, hay and
potatoes are hauled at from 7 to 9
cents per 100 pounds; tobacco and hogs
at 10 cents per 100 pounds; cotton, IS
cents, and wool, A cents.

That immutable law of physics that
matter cannot be annihilated, or, vice
versa, created out of nothing, appears
to have some doubters even in this day
of general education. The old query
which weighs the most, the egg or the
chicken that is hatched from the egg is
a very good example Of this lack of
faith. To settle the matter for the
hundredth time, experiments were re-
Gently undertaken at one of the agri-
cultural stations engaged in poultry
studies 1t was found that fertile
egg during the process of incubation
lost a little over 20 per cent In weight,
while the chick Matched from such an
egg weighed 30 per cent less than the
egg before incubation. A sterile egg
receiving similar treatment lost not
quite 16 per cent in weight.

For Stacking Wh...

To stack wheat before threshin1 ~
that 1t will be dry when that time
comes, is the desire of every farmer
who raises that cereal. Mr.. c. T.
Pritchard, of Randolph, Clay county,
Mo-, has system that he has used for
a generation, and he never lost a bit of
wheat by dampness In the stack. He
has great reputation In his home for
this class Of work, and he spends a
large part Of his time in showing 9th
ers now to do 1t. He gives a descrip-
ton Of his method as follows:
To stack wheat or oats SO stack
will not take water. Commence the
stack or rick any way you wish. But
when you have the stack five or six
feet high, just reverse the usual way
of stacking, and do it from the center
to the outer edge, instead of from the
outer edge to the center When you
begin at the center to stack out lay
two or three bundles so as to keep the
center highest, with a good slant to-
ward the outer edge. If at any time
the outer edge gets too high, stop be-
fore you get there, and 60 back to the
center and commence again. Be sure to
keep the center highest, with a good
slant to the outside.
This way is just about the same as
one shock on top Of the other, only
more slant to the bundles.
There Is no slip or slide. 1t is fast
and easy, and sure keeps the stack dry.
If you are stacking the usual way, and
the stack should begin to slip, Just 20
to the center and work out, and see
how quickly you stop the slipping. Mix
1t up a little-work from the center
part Of the time. Try it."

Prey of the Sparrow Hawk.

The sparrow hawk almost invariably
catches a flying bird for its meal, even
striking down birds as large as the
wood pigeon, though usually going no
higher than a black bird. 1t does not
exactly swoop like the larger hawks,
yet it must have conditions of chase
Of its own choosing. That Is why the
small birds usually mob it with impu-
nifty when they are numerous enough
to bewilder 1t. Once, however, 1 saw
a sparrow hawk that had been molest-
ed for some minutes by a perfect cloud
Of green finches, dart among them and
secure victim.
The other day I had one Of these
birds pointed out as the one which, a
few days earlier, had come close to
the house toward dusk and caught q
bat on the wing. That however, is a
very unusual meal.-London News.

FOoling n Wolf.

A boy II years old, the son of a
pioneer in Montana, observed wolf
sneaking about one day last January.
He took sheep skin and spread it
over a low bush in such way that it
resembled the live animal, and after a
time the wolf made dash for it.
He detected the fraud at once, and
instead Of galloping away with the
pelt, which would have made a good
dinner for him, he dropped it and
sneaked off with his tail between his
legs. He realized that he had been
made the victim of joke, and he felt
the same as q boy who had been April
fooled.

all charities that help children. In a
recent visit to New York he told a
story about a little slum urchin whom

the country.
"The lad was so ignorant" he said,
that he thought we got mush from
mushrooms and milk from the milk
weed. One morning woman pointed
to horse in a field and said:

illness Causes Lessened Attendance
of Pupils at School.

Superintendent William Allison reported
to the board of education last evening
that contagiou diseases during the past
month had caused a decided falling off
in the attendance. He said at the pres
ent time there was an epidemic Of mumps
but that only the children affected were
forced to remain out of school, In addi-
ton to this the sanitary committee re-
ported that since the meeting three weeks
ago there had been reported seven cases
of scarlet fever. six of diphtheria, one of
measles and one of smallpox.
Principal D. z. ClOyd suggested to the
board that a night high school be es-
tablished. He submitted figures to show
that this could be done without expense
to the board other than for light end
heating. The proposal was referred with
out discussion to the teachers commit
tee.
Superintendent Aliison's report for No
vember showed the total NUMBER in the
schools during the month was 4.016. The
average daily attendance was 4,2S4 The
per cent of punctuality was 90 and the
children absent on account of contagious
diseases was 50. The finance committee
reported cash on hand amounting to 13-
