TIME TO PLANT BULBS.
Supt. Reinisch of Topeka Parks
Gives Necessary Information.

The hyacinth is probably the queen
of all spring towering bulbs The
coloring of the flowers range through
all shades of blue and red from the
darkest to the most delicate tints and
from a cream to snowy white; add
ed to this a most delightful odor full
we'll entities her to the crown.
The tulip is the ShOwiest and is used
most of all for outdoor planting, it
has also received more attention in
producing a wide range in forms, col
oring and time Of Towering so that
we have very early and very late va
rieties, giving a long season of bloom.
This and the hyacinth belong to the
lily family.
The crocus, belongs to the iris fam
lily and is one of the earliest flower
ing of bulbs and of easiest culture.
They want a dry situation, that is, the
soil must be porous and we'll drained.
The crocuS enjoys more than any 9TH
er bulb, a soil rich in plant food and
repays we'll for this little attention.
The bulbs should be planted not less
than inches deep, as the new bulbs
form on top of the old ones and in
consequence come nearer to the sur
face in the years after planting. In
this respect they are different from
other bulbs, which form their offsets
underneath.
The narcissus belongs to the amaril-
| lis family and comprises number of
forms, LnOuSh the range OIL cOlOTS Is
! confined to shades of white and yell
| low. This flower is a great favorite
with all flower lovers and has been
| cultivated for many centuries. Its
elegant, fragrant flowers are born on
| long and slender stalks, which gives it
a graceful majesty when growing in
the garden and makes it desirable s
a cut flower, standing up well in the
vase.
There are a number of smaller and
less SNOWY bulbs worthy a place in our
gardens. The grape hyacinth, another
member of the lily family and quite
| fragrant with a musk odor. This little
| spring flower disIikes to be moved
around or in any way disturbed very
often. 1t becomes easily naturalized
and if soil and location suits. it COM
! petes with grasses and wild flowers
and soon spreads out over its new
home. 1t grows and blooms as cheer
fully on the lawn as in the border.
The lily of the valley, a plant with
small, white, fragrant flowers is the
emblem of purity and modesty and
has for centuries been a universal IA
vorite 1t does not grow in the open
and is not suitabl for general culture,
! though it will do quite well in shelter
| ed spots on the shady side of a wall
or building. In its wild state it grows
under trees in the rich lowlands along
rivers or on moist wooded hillsides.

HE RILED RICHARD iii.
Atkins Lawrence Tells of a Green
Actors Blunder,

Atkins Lawrence, who has been an ac-
tor As years and still is devoted to his
profession, this afternoon talked of the
time when he played leading parts with
Edwin Forrest in Hamlet and Edwin
Booth in OthelIo. 1t was in the matt
nee performance Of Graustark at the
Grand that he told the story between
the acts for the benefit of Roy Craw-
ford, the manager.
Speaking personally, the proudest
memory of my life is that played lead
ing parts with Edwin Forrest in Ham
let and Cassie with Booth in Othello,'
he said, but the story 1 like best to
tell of my experiences is an incident
which occurred while I was playing
with Barry Sullivan in Richard III at
the Walnut Street theater in Philadel-
phia. 1t was perhaps the most anus
ing incident that ever happened on the
American stage, I believe, and yet at
the time very few persons really appre-
ciated the joke.
Sullivan took the part of Richard
and an attendant, Walter Hubble, a
young actor, and very nervous, entered
to inform Richard that the Duke of
Buckingham was taken. Richard was
then to order Buckingham head cut
off Hubble, in his excitement, appro-
priated Richards line. He rushed on the
stage and, in a highly excited voice,
exclaimed: My lord, the Duke of Buck
ingham is taken and we have cut OF
his head!''
Sullivan was furious at the blunder.
and in harsh voice Fejoined. The --
you have. What is there for me to do?
I cannot cut off his head again.
The audience was shocked, not at
the mistake, but at Sullivan's rude re-
ply. In reporting the play the Phila-
oelphia newspapers censured Sullivan
severely for swearing on the stage, but
did not notice the mistake in the lines.
The fact that the dramatic critics were
not familiar enough with Richard III
to detect the mistake so amused Sulli-
van that he forgot about Hubble s
blunder."
Mr.. Lawrence said his most -conspicu-
Gus engagement was as leading man to
Mary Anderson, when he played, for
one role Romeo" to "our Mary g.
Juliet" Not only did he support For
rest and Booth in his As years stage
life but Mansfield as well. He was in
James A. Herne's play, Shore Acres, for
eleven seasons.

TRIED TO REPAY Her.
But Andrew behring's Bequest to
Sarah jackson May Be Illegal.

Where are the wife and two children
of Andrew E. Deering who died almost
unknown Sunday, October 80, at the
home of Mrs. Sarah L. Jackson, 1928
North Van Buren, street? In his will
probated in the Shawnee court, he he
queaths all his property to Mrs jack
son. She, however, admits that his
wife and two children probably are
alive.
The wife, Anna Deering. was at one
time confined in the Topeka state hos
pital for the insane. Mrs. Jackson told
Probate Judge Schoch Of visiting her
there nearly fifteen years ago. She IS
said to have been discharged from that
institution and the executor of the
estate is looking for her, for man
can not lawfully will away from his
widow more than half his estate.
Not that the estate is large-about
s., 900 in the bank-but that the half
might mean much to the widow.
Andrew Deerfng was 60 years of age.
His home before coming to Topeka is
supposed to have been at Minneapolis,
Kan. That deduction is made from
conversation recalled by Mrs. Jackson.
The old man had been butcher and
his savings were from that trade.
Mrs. Sarah Jackson is older than her
would-be benefactor and almost totally
blind. Stunned by her only living
daughter, she cared for Andy Deering
for fifteen years or more. A grand
daughter, Hazel High, lived with the
aged couple and now remains to care
for the feeble woman.
In the will of A E. Deering drawn
only September %. 1870 he names Mrs.
Jackson executrix Of his estate. De-
Quoting funeral expenses, she was to
collect for herself his money and per-
sonal property. On account of her
feeble condition, however. Judge Schoch
wished to appoint another and upon
her suggestion Frank Conwell. the I'M
dertaker who buried behring's body,
was appointed.
Then Mrs. Jackson was questioned
and told of the deceased mans wife
and children. Perhaps the wife is dead
but the disposition of her husband's
estate will be held up until investiga-
ton is made

They also, should be left undisturbed
for several years.
The culture of the fall bulbs is most
simple. They delight in a deep loan.
inclined to sandy and enriched with
well rotted stable manure. This soil
holds moisture quite well, drains per-
fectly in excessive wet weather, admits
light and air easily, thus stimulating
the development of a large and strong
root system. In this latitude the
planting should not be done before
November list. as the bulbs might
during few warm days produce lot
of tender roots and get too much of
start before springtime. It is well to
planting. A good way is to excavate
the soil in the bed to the required
depth for planting, smooth and
spread over it a layer of about II inch
of sand. If a design is to be planted
it can be laid out on this surface of
sand, the bulbs of different colors plac-
ed in their respective positions and
pressed down lightly.
When every bulb is placed. the soil
is put back covering them. Care must
be taken not to move any of the bulbs
which would distort the design. After
the ground is frozen an inch or more
deep the bulb beds should be mulched
with a fine material, like sawdust
on during the time of Towering. The
bulbs, if taken up at all, should be left
in the ground till they are ripened
off, which Is indicated by the leaves
turning brown and dead. They can
be kept over in a dark cool and dry
place till next planting time

ADJUSTMENTS.

The attraction at the Grand tomor-
row night will be the much talked-of
musical comedy drama, 1.-The Queen of
the Moulin Rouge" which promises to
be sensation. The production comes
here under the management of Sam f.
Rork, direct from a years run at the
Circle theater in New York, and a six
months run at the Olympic theater in
Chicago. The piece is the result of
the collaboration of Paul M Potter,
John T. Hall and Vincent Bryan and is
said to correctly portray night life in
Paris as it exists at the present time.
An announcement that has created a
great deal of interest is that Tim Muir
ply is coming to the Grand Friday
night in comedy entitled Mr.. OPP
by Alice Hogan Rice, author of Mrs.
Wigs of the Cabbage Patch" and
dramatized by Douglas r. Doty, editor
of the Century Magazine. "Mr. Opp"
is the old story of love finding a way,
under new circumstances. It is an
American play of which the scenes are
laid in Kentucky. Mr.. Murphy has an
admirable part in MIR. Opp and is
surrounded by a capable company.
At the Grand Saturday matinee and
night they are screwing down the seats

that they've shaken the seats loose.

set any favor Vail might gain with the
audience.
