triches and weird objects, all piled in
confusion with artificial plants and
floral devices, glittering armor and all
the thousands of odd things that We're
being prepared for the most dazzling
comic opera of the year, THE Minstrel
of the Sahara"
The scenic artists had been working
day and night for weeks, and. with the
Opening now only few days off. the
managers were nervously dreading
that the beautiful effects would not be
finished in time. To add to this fear,
Henry Granger, the artist on whom
the projectors of the great spectacle
had mainly depended, had succumbed
to the strain of working for days and
nights without sleep and scarcely stop
ping for anything to eat. He lay at
his little east side home, tossing and
raving in the delirium of typhoid fe-
yer. He had been absent from the
painters bridge" for nearly fort
night, and, although his loss was con-
sidered serious at first, some one else
had filled his place, and now he was
forgotten. Scenic artists, like actors,
are improvident creatures, and If any
of the warm hearted stage folk had
had time to think Of aught except the
duties that weighed so heavily on each
and every one they might have
thought that the sick man, out of work
| and helplessly Ill, might be suffering
for want of money. Granger was n
favorite generally, and many a time
had he gone down into his scant saw
ings to help swell a contribution to
some needy professional in distress. If
anything ever reminded the company
of Granger's absence it might have
been that his little girl, an only one Of
seven, came no more with the artists
meals, as she used to when he painted
away up there on the bridge" She
was sweetly coy little thing, her
great blue eyes set in thoughtful
and pale face, surrounded by golden
curls.
And now 1t was Christmas eve, at 4
o'clock in the afternoon. Old Pete,
the stage door tender, was startled
from his reveries back in the shadow
of his cage by the sweet voice Of Il
child. She had "a note from mamma
to Mr.. Hardcraft, the manager" No,

A Theatrical
Santa Claus.
By JEFFERSON DE ANGELS.

kmN HE week before Christmas in
New York, "Once upon Il time,
not so very long ago" showed
Broadway full of eager shop
pers. making tracks through Il heavy
fall of snow which the street sweepers
had not yet cleared away. Up and
down the magic street and its com
panion arteries in the retail district a
josting crowd, pushing, fighting its
way, sought to catch gimpses of the
many treasures temptingly displayed
In the shop windows. Great extremes
of life bumped elbows. The girl from
the east side, coming down from the
slums to view the good things-things
forbidden to her ocketbook-brushed
her threadbare skirts against the fur
lined gown of the daughter of the rich.
The almond eyed Celestial from the
Chinese district mingled the opium
scent of his blouse with the delicate
violet of the we'll dressed crowd. Chill
dren from Fifth avenue in their smart
clothes edged away from squalidly
dressed urchins with unwashed faces
and uncombed hair.
There was happy contentment re-
flected ON the faces of thousands, in
contrast to the pinched. hungry, hope
less. feverish eyed faces of the other
thousands so strangely mingled on the
worlds greatest thoroughfare.
At the Rialto theater great prepara-
tions were in progress for the produc-
tion of IL new comic opera. Rehearsals
had been going on from early morning
until midnight, day in and day out.
The back of the big stage was verita-
BILE chaos. Unfinished scenery and
mysterious looking props" were being
skillfully fashioned into counterfeit
presentations of camels, for there was
to be a grand march of the kings cara
van across the desert. There was an
elephant, too, as big as life, and os-

piece of timber land would find
turkeys profitable stock to raise. If
you are thinking Of trying them, pos
sibly you may be interested in the
following from the American Agri
cultur1st:
The Pure White Plumage of the
White Holland turkey appeals strong
ly to all lovers of the beautiful in
nature, and the tender and delicately
favored flesh of this sultan of the
barnyard is spoken of in the highest
terms by the epicure. The White
Hollands are very plump and full
breasted and do not seem nearly as
large as the Bronze, but when bred
especially for size almost come up to
them in weight Quality, hawever,
and not weight is the principal merit
claimed for the Hollands. The writer
finds them to be the most prolific of
all breeds, hens frequently laying 50
or 90 eggs before offering to sit. The
young hatch out and are just as
strong and vigorous as any of the
dark breeds. Young gobblers of the
Bronze family are usually angular
and raw boned when less than a year
old and therefore not so salab1e, but
[ find the White Holland gobblers as
smooth and plump then as at two
years old. Every farm should have
a flock of these beautiful birds of
snowy whiteness They do not pos
sess that roaming spirit to such a
degree as the other kinds, do not
stray away to neighbors and the birds
are easily located when hiding their
nests. Feed the young turkeys all
the onion tops, chopped up fine, that
they will eat and you will find them
no more trouble to raise than chick
ems.

Tense if his name and address were
used i'll this connection. He will please
note that l have carefully suppressed
whatever might lead to his identifca-
| ton, so there is no occasion to take
anything that is said as personal; and
[ would like to have him and others
look at this case, as I do, as typical
| instance.
The record of 3l5 eggs from Is hens
in four and one third months, instead
of being very good, is very poor-only
| 20A eggs per hen. 1t is not at all un-
common for Is hens to lay more eggs
than that in a month, even in one of
the months included in the period COW
Beginners" advantage to be informed
of this, for as long as he thinks his
poor record a good one he is not likely
to begin to try to improve the con-
ditions under which his hens are kept.
1t may be that he is too kind to his
hens, that they are treated too well, and
fed too heavily. Whatever the cause,
there is some reason for this poor egg
yield, and he can make progress only
when he finds out how he can do better.
Beginner" does not feed whole corn
because he believes it is hard for fowls
to digest. What reason has he for think
ing that? There are other reasons for
not feeding whole corn under all cir
cumstances, and the practical thing for
beginners, and for all who have not &C
quired the information, is to find out
under what conditions whole corn may
be fed to advantage. Possibly one may
find that as he is situated it is best
not to use it at all, but he ought to get
at the real state of the case.
''Beginner'' counts his chickens before
they are Matched. He looks, if he has
good luck, for SO chicks from five hens
[ wonder if he set the hens on fourteen
ing, just one egg had been broken. If
he gets forty to fifty chicks from his
five hens he will have about the average
luck
Beginner says the editor, or associate
editor, says, R. [. Reds are the best
layers. Now, 1 am very sure 1 never
said anything of the kind, and quite
as sure Mr.. Smith did not. Still that
statement may have been made in the
paper-by some one who believed it.
Readers should distinguish between
editorial and contributed articles, and be
careful to connect the name of the right
person with an item which attracts at
tention. Editors are not responsible for,
nor do they vouch for every statement
that appears in the columns they con-
troll. One of the functions of a poultry
paper is to furnish opinions and in
formation from all quarters. It is sup
posed that the reader will discriminate
between the opinions coming from diff
ferent sources just as he would at a
meeting where opinions were verbally
expressed by many different persons. 1t
is sometimes annoying to a person to
have opinions not his own attributed
to him; but the real sufferer is the man
who makes such mistakes, and I am
inclined to think that mistakes of this
kind are responsible for a good deal of
the impression of confusion in printed
opinions on poultry matters of which
beginners so often complain.

POULTRY DEPARTMENT
Poultry Notes.
Editor Poultry Department: =


Editor Poultry Department:
[ lost my glasses in the cow-pen, and
the way they looked after the cows step
ped on them, was a little like this letter
and writing. AS [ have to use an old
pair, [ cannot see line. Still felt
that 1 ought to write you something;
and my Happy Family is the most en-
gaging thing to me, so I pass it on. l
was to write about flowers, but they are
feathered flowers at present.
The Pekin ducks are so fond of the
bulbs of the Cannas that they have left
only one which has Bermuda sod close
to it. And as it lifts it's yellow chalice
[ thank the sod that not even so good
a hoe as ducks bill can penetrate it.
I see a query in The Agriculturist
about fooling with alfalfa. AS 1 look
at said sod, and then at the beggar weed
and peanuts, think Woman's Think.
Why can't we be satisfied with the good
things we have in Florida, tried, trusted
and true?
Then there is the sandspur with it's
pointed remarks, which Rollins Col
lege paper has for it's name, with the
motto, ''Stick to it," We might spare
that but it won't spare us.
O, yes; [ must tell you that since the
ducks, both Pekin and Indian Runner,
are my flowers, picked them today, and
have enough feathers for pillow. And
they never said a word, but quack,
quack, as took part feathers and part
down. Such thick coats for warm wea-
Their! [ am sure they must be more
comfortable now
We have, or had, trio of white Hol-
land turkeys-and such pretty tame ones
they are. After passing over their eggs
for the hens to stepmother, one con-
cluded to sit under the wild grape arbor
which is wired in. So we found her nine
eggs, and when she had been on the nest
a week, I gave her a lot of hens eggs
to fill up the nest. She Matched five
turks, and we gave her some more little
chicks besides the ones that she Matched.
A hen only Matched one duckling, so Mrs.
Holland accepted it also !; and it was
comical to see her cuddle them down
while turk and chicken or two would
climb on her back How carefully she
stepped, never injuring one. Then cou-
pie of white Leghorn hens brought off
broods, to which [ added others until
they had 20 apiece. just a board sep
arated them, and after one battle, each
kept to her own portion for awhile,
But after a month, Mrs. Holland be-
came uneasy and said, in Turkish, that
she would get out. So the door was
opened for her, and the little ones scud
through the wire or under the boards.
Night brings them all back to the feed
box Not once has she picked the hens
chicks. She is the incest mother that
ever wore feathers; Leghorns or Rhode
Island Reds are all the same to her. But
her sister that sat in the pea-feld has
gone with her brood and not even a
feather left. Hawks would leave feathers
and bones-could it be a fox?

I'VE certainly cannot endorse Mrs.
Burrell's idea that we should be salts
fed with the good things that we have,
and not be seeking to introduce some
thing which is not natural to this eli
mate. This would put an end to all
improvement. How many things we
have that are not native but introduced,
often at great expense of time and trou
BILE. Beggar weed is good for various
uses, and so also are peanuts; but for
hay neither is to be compared with al
falfa, And there is now positive proof
that it can be grown successfully in
Florida.
We like to have writer's express their
own opinions, and as a rule we let them
have their say uncontradicted; but we
feel strongly on this alfalfa question,
and are very anxious that it should be
more widely tested.-Ed.]

BANK IN fine CONDITION
IN SPITE OF WALKER
Large Part Of Missing Sc
curities Has Been Locat-
ed-$1OO,O 900 Still
Missing.

New Britain, July 17.-At the annual
meeting of the incorporators of the
Savings Bank of New Britain this aft
ernoon a statement was made by Treas
urer Edward N. Stanley in regard to
the efforts made by the bank officials
to catch the absconding treasurer.
William f. Walker. The statement
conveys the information that $275,0OO
worth of the stolen securities have been
traced. No trace has been found of the
100000 batch and the coupons on these
have not been presented, which leads
the directors to believe that they are
still IN the hands of Walker or his ac-
completes.
ALREADY President Corbin has advance
ed $4,000 and it was spent in prosecut-
ing the search for Walker. The state
ment says: "No criminal has ever been
pursued more persistently and more
earnestly and with less restriction as
to cost than has Walker" The direc-
tors heard an encouraging report from
Treasurer Stanley in regard to the fl
nancial condition of the institution.
The net increase of deposits for the year
amounted to $152, 904.56, making the de-
posts at this time $6,587 96O.26.
