1t must have given the members OF the
Thirteen Club thrills to learn that the
name of the author Of "Chantecler," Ed
mord Rostand, is composed of thirteen
letters: also that when he was invited to
take his place among the immo-tals he
became the thirteenth occupant Of the
thirteenth chair. and the date Of his re.
ception was June 4, 1903. Write this date,
4, 6, O3. and add it up and there is an
other thirteen. Rostand's two most popu-
lar works are "LAiglon'' and 'Cyrano,"
and the letters of the names give yet
another thirteen. The dress rehearsal or
"Chantecler'' was February 6. and the
first public performance the 7th. These
dates added together make thirteen again.
Also il these dates were written out a.
in the first case, some more thirteens Will
be secured. February @ and of this
year become 9, 9, Z, 1910. which adds up
twenty-six. and that is twice thirteen.
Finally, making a rough guess. IL seems
as If the production of "Chantecler"
must have been postponed about thir.
teen times.

COOK TO SPEAK.
New Fair Secretary to Address Ad
Club Meeting.

Tomorrow at noon the Topeka AID
club will hold a meeting for the pur-
pose of discussing the state fair propo-
sition. Members of the organization
realize that there is 70 better means
by which the capital city can be ad-
vertised than by holding a state fair
that will be a credit to Kansas and To-
peka, and thay want to get back of the
new enterprise.
H. L. Cook the new secretary, who
has had years of experience in connec-
ton with the management of the Ne
braska state fair at Lincoln, will adj
dress the meeting. and 1t is probable
that other speakers wiz be called upon
for brief remarks.
Ten thousand dollars was subscribed
yesterday in a short space of time as
nucleus for the brisk campaign
which will be waged Thursday, Friday
and Saturday for the disposal of $780,
600 worth of stock. This noon meet
ing of the board of directors of the
Kansas State Fair association was held
for the purpose of planning this cam
paign, and tomorrow a similar meet
ing will take place.

BOTH SIDES OF THE QUESTION
c. A. Cain Reads a Paper on This
Subject to Jayhawkers.

There was a good attendance at the
quarterly meeting and banquet of the
Jayhawker club at the Mission Tea
rooms last night. c. A. Cain read d
paper on Both Sides of the Question"
After a discussion of the paper the club
held business meeting at which
literary program was adopted for the
next club year.
The Jayhawxer club was organized
some five years ago as a literary club
and while several of it's members have
met success in politics since that time,
the club is not in any sense a political
organization, as has been charged, but
is a literary club. having nothing at all
to do with partisan matters.
The club expects to have the best
year of its history this year The pa
perS for the year will deal with the
standard authors and every member -
attendance at the meetings will be re-
quired to take part in the discussion
of the papers.

THOMPSON FINED FIVE.
Flo just Gently Pushed Harper to
Sidewalk.

There was very mysterious man IN
North Topeka Sunday He came down
from Kansas City Saturday night. NO
one seems to have asked his name. but
all who could find him bought his
wares He was most in evidence near
a livery stable and at 11S West Curtis
street, where a crap game was in
progress and where Flo Thompson
gently pushed an old man over onto
the sidewalk. brushing most of the
skin off his face.
That was about the strongest story
County Attorney Schenck could get out
of the witnesses in the city court to-
day. summoned to testify in the
Thompson assault case. John W. Har-
per is the prosecutor. He and Frank
Bowman had visited the Curtis street
house and had each bought 25 cents
worth of whisky from mysterious
man." he testified. Bowman swore he
did not buy any booze, but that later
in the evening in an alley Harper had
given him a drink. The assault had
happened in front of the house after
the landlady broke up the crap game.
Thompson, Frank Harris a man called
Dutch" were playing, it seems from
the testimony, but none of them re-
member the name of the boOtlegger
and refuse to do SO.
Thompson, who made the assault, Is
said to have committed the assault for
no reason in the world. He pleaded
guilty to the charge and was fined IS
and costs, which will amount to
about $40.
