London.SSouth Africa. which is

is 40 per cent.

"As ye sow FOR LONDON.

AS Ye Sow" the rural drama which
was written by Rev. John Snyder OF
Wellesley and produced last season, Is
TO be taken TO England. The company
will sail for the other side in few
weeks.
The fact that the play was written
by a clergyman isrthe real cause for 1t
going abroad. Both Mr.. Snyder and
William \. Brady, the producer of "As
Ye Sow" have had numerous letters
from English clergymen inquiring what
sort OF n play 1t was. Many of these
letters contained requests that II
should be presented in London and
about a month ago Mr.. Brady wrote
back to one OF the leading members of
the clergy and replied that he would
bring AS We Sow" to London if the
clergy would give II their support.
A few days ago Mr.. Brady received
satisfactory reply and at once opened
negotiations for n theater. Three the
aters have been placed at his disposal.
but up to the present time Mr.. Brady
has not made a selection.
This will be the first instance on red~
ord whore an American play Will bs

According to e. recent report from

tempt to storm successfully the lofty
breast works OF London stagedom. The
London critics and public gave these
stars cruelty. cold reception in "Julie
Bonbcn," written by Miss Lipman
The company broke up during the first
week the play appeared at the New
Waldorf theater. and bitter were the
maledictions heaped on the heads OF
al Englishmen by its members.
The general opinion was that neither
Mr.. Mann nor Miss Lipman would ever
dare set foot again on an English
Stage. for their play was not only
avoided by the English public. but It
was laughed at. ridiculed in plainest
terms. Their announced decision to
try again leads one to think that in
their belief England was displeased

Seattle. Wash.-A gun of grewsomo

Most guns have grewsome histories,
but the Russian cannon dates back to
a time and place when atrocities we're
common. On account of its interest
ing history 1t will be exhibited at the
aska.Yukon.Pacific exposition, which
will be held at Seattle in 1909. Here
is the story, as told by the sailors of
Puget sound to the awe-stricken cabin
boys:
When Russia owned Alaska the gov.
ernment was at Sitka, and the Rus.
sian cruiser Politkovsky was the
guardian of law and order. Tho Po-
litkovsky carried Il complement OF
French cannon of the latest make, and
was formidable fighting craft.
While on voyage of exploration, IN
the neighborhood of what is now Val

but were beaten of without much dif.

In the melee, however, two of the
politkovsky's sailors were killed, and
it so happened that two Indians were
captured In revenge for the death

mouth of the cannon and the cannon

Champaign, 1ll.---The village OF

aged resident of that place to his
niece and housekecper, Mrs. Louise
Pyatt, the gift being his entire prop

valued at $l75 an acre. Mrs. Py0tt
will have hard time retaining the
gift, however, as Gorhams son Henry,
who lives in Champaign, has filed q
suit in the circuit court, charging Mrs.
Pyatt with obtaining the property by
undue influence. II is only two months
ago that the woman invited her aged
uncle to come from Champaign, where
he had been living with his son, to
establish home in the village OF
Homer, where she could care for him.
He readily consented, as did the son,
who, however, demanded contract
from her in regard to compensation.
This was agreed to. but for some rea-
son was never written out. Rev. o.
X. Doney, a Christian minister, walked
into the Citizens bank at Homer and
told the cashier, Perle Virgins, who
attended to the business affairs OF
Josiah Gorham, that Mr.. Gorham had
