THE st. Louis sub-treasury is
still "short" that S61,50O. Will
Congress fill the aching void? 1t
ought. 1t has been judicially de-
termined, in effect, that nobody
got the money-it just took on
wings and flew away, as has been
its habit for ages. It's here, it's
there, and though you put it in
bonds, it frees itself and gets away
while you're looking. So what's
the use fussing? Let Congress
make good at one and for its
inexcusable delay send an en-
bossed apology to Postmaster
Atkins.

is hoped to have every section
touched by the Missouri Pacific

large quantity of products neces-
sary to handle if all exhibits were
accepted from each county it has
been decided to solicit only a few
of the best specimens of each crop
or product.
If the reader has any noteworthy
specimens of products he has
raised he will not only be doing
something for his State, but also
for his country, if he will give
complete information regarding il

accommodated in the space assign
ed the railroad company. All ex'
pense in connection with the ship,
ment of these exhibits and theil
arrangement at Springfield will be
borne by the Missouri Pacific

| of the farmer, or others having
suitable exhibits, is that they give
information regarding them to tn,
parties named above. Everyone
should be interested in o goot
representation for their county.
II your products are finally
} chosen you will be asked to de-
liver them to the nearest railroad
station. The local agent will Sc,

STORY oE The PLAY.

A good story is told on Robert
Worburton who has lately returned
from abroad. In a spirit of irrepres-
sible humor he conceives the idea of
playing a practical joke on his sis
ter and sister-in-law who have gone
to the embassy ball in Washington
and to which he himself is invited.
He impersonates their coachman and
intends to drive them home at a
breakneck speed and receive them as
they alight from their carriage with
kiss He does SO, but in the ex-
element of it all, gets the wrong
carriage and the wrong girls, and is
followed by the mounted police and
arrested and taken to the police sta
ton where he is compelled TO spend
the night. One of the young ladies
turns out to be Miss Betty Annes-
ley, whom he had previously met on
an ocean voyage and whom he had
sworn to marry if he ever got an in
production. In the police court the
next morning, where he is held on
the charge of abduction, disorderly
conduct and reckless driving, they
meet face to face, and she, not be-
ing sure of his identity, on account
Of his beard having been shaved off,
withdraws the charge of abduction
and pays the fine, after skillfully
avoiding telling anyone but the
judge that he kissed her. To carry
on the joke. in a spirit of fun, she
hires him to take her coachman S
place, whom she has discharged. He
accepts and is duly installed as her
groom, and, the butler being iii one
day, he is called upon to serve in his
place at a dinner party TO which
number of his Washington friends
are invited. The scene that follows
is one of the most excruciatingly
funny ever seen on the stage, and
the final outcome of it all is that the
young man not only saves the father
from disgrace, but wins the woman
he loves The comedy is sweet,
choice and high class and the pathos
deep and not Overdrawn. and the ro-
mantle side the sweetest story ever
told" This is a short synopsis of

Bellows LEADING LADY.

In the personal selection of the
supporting players for the distin-
guished actor. Kyrle Bellew, Charles
Frohman finally determined upon
Gladys Hanson for the position of
leading woman, much to the chagrin
of a numbe of his most prominent
leading ladies who were more than
eager for the coveted assignment of
the part of Dorothy Faringay in AL
fred Sutro's masterful dramatic
achievement, THE Builder of
Bridges" The talented and pains
taking endeavOrs of Miss Hanson,
while leading lady with K. H. Soth-
ern, in various roles last season, first
attracted the attention of Mr. Froh-
man, and in spite of many claims of
priority in selection he assigned this
highly emotional and extremely diff
cult part to this young lady, for the
reason that he considers her to be
one of the most capable actresses in
the profession today. Mr.. Bellew
and his supporting company are
booked for an engagement at the
Grand, Davenport, Saturday evening
The entire New York cast and pro-
duction, just as presented during the
long engagement at the Hudson the
