like a certain percentage of new vot-

The Lyman Twins.

1.-THE Yankee Drummers,' the new
musical production which the Lyman
Twins will present at the Grand on
Sunday afternoon and evening has
made a most decided hit everywhere
as it is declared a distinct novelty in
the musical comedy line of attraction
which has become SO popular.
1t depicts very clever and anus
ing story of young drummer who
loses his position through mistake
in ordering two cars of Uneeda bis
cult instead of two cases. He is
known only as the Yankee Drummer.
It involves the firm in a. law suit and
they put a Dutch detective on his
trail In the meantime the drummer
is passing off as the son of Judge
Goodall a wealthy New Yorker, his
real son having run away. The judge
meets the drummer and thinking it's
his son returning insists on him go
ing home. The drummer is dunn
founded at this turn of things, his
protestations being of no avail. Then
the real son appears on the scene
followed by the detective looking for
his prey and the screaming situations
follow one another in rapid success
sion throughout the entire three acts.
The piece is handsomely staged and
a select chorus OF pretty girls add
much, together with the numerous
.jingling musical numbers given
through the show, to make it one of
the hits of the season.
A GrieyOus Wrong.
The critic on an evening paper who used
all of his adjectives on Adelaide Thurston
is going to be in awful fix when Mrs.
Patrick Campbell comes.-Topeka Capital.
That the State Journal man, who tries
to look after the theatrical news for the
paper, has been most grievously wronged
in a variety of ways, appears in the clip
ping printed above. In the first place he
has no right to be styled a critic"
No one can claim such a great honor or
is entitled to it unless he has risen to the
plane of dramatic editor and is publicly
recognized as such. According to Sam
Radges' directory there is only one "dra-
matte editor in Topeka. and it is not
connected with the State Journal
Then again, the adjectives used by the
State Journal man in his feeble effort to
do Miss Thurston justice. do not belong to
him. They are a part of the language
commonly used in this country. Nor are
they the only ones available ito the State
Journal man. He has a fine Webster's
dictionary and also an excellent book of
English synonyms ever at his elbow, so
his supply of adjectives Is only limited by
the number that there is. He will be glad
to give any one access to them, whether
he be q dramatic editor or just a com
mon ordinary newspaper man.

The Leghorn is full breasted
bird, but its small size makes it
Improbable for market purposes.
There is no better table fowl
than the Houdan, but the breed is
not very popular in this country.
Black plumaged fowls are not
popular for market poultry from
the fact that the carcass is full of
dark pin feathers, making an unat-
tractive looking body.
The actual cost of producing one
thousand pounds of beef is greater
than the cost of one thousand
pounds of poultry, and the latter
sells for twice as much in market.
When mating for flesh the cock
should never be even moderately
long legged unless the hen is un-
usually short legged, for the cock
erels from such sire will be gawkv
and stilty i'll form when sent to
market at an immature age. His
breast should be broad, full and
his back broad.
When a dealer wishes to add
knock down argument to the mer
its of his breed he will declare that
their flesh is of extra quality. The
American Stock Keeper says there
is no breed of fowls under the Sun
the chickens of which, if we'll fed
all their lives, will not be tender
JUICY and toothsome. And there
will be no breed that will be plump,
tender and fit for table unless fed
thus.
