Wentworth Third Team Won.

The Wentworth third team
defeated the Garfield athletic
club of Kansas City Saturday on
the academy gridrion by a score
Of 6 to 0. The visitors out
weighed the cadets about 10
pounds to the man; but the home
team was slightly better in

the city, Ed Aull and NJ. D. Will
son Of the firm of Wilson Bros.
& Aull, hit upon the plan of buy
ing the Academy farm, dividing
it into lots, making some per-
manent improvements, and Of
fering to the public lots for
$200,00-a price within reach of
all. This property lying i'm
mediately south of the Missouri
Pacific depot is ideal for a new
addition to the city. Messrs.
Aull and Wilson have had the
property surveyed and plated,
and in addition the streets will
be graded and a granitoid walk
put down on the east side of 2lst
street from the depot to the
south limit. (See ad on front
page.
This is no doubt a great OPP
portunity, and will be eagerly
grasped by those who want to
build a home. The promoters,
Ed Aull and NJ. D. Wilson of the
well known firm of Wilson Bros.
& Aull are both home men who
have been identified with every
public improvement, and whose
business integrity insures public
confidence in the enterprise, and
a rapid sale of lots is anticipated.

MADAME Sherry.'


Madame Sherry is to return to the
Grand, Tuesday night, April II. Every
one in Topeka is familiar with the sue
cess of this attraction when it was
presented here some time ago.
Madame Sherry's fame as a mirthful
and musical comedy is wide spread.
No score in the records of musical
farce achievements has so quickly be-
come so general rage. The musical
theme Every Little Movement Little

Al HI. Wilson.

Al H. Wilson, the German dialect
comedian, will be the attraction at the
Grand en- April 18th. Mr.. Wilson has
q large following throughout the coun-
try who always insist that time brings
no impairment to his vocal equipment
or ability as a comedian. One thing
that assists Mr.. Wilson in keeping
new from year to year is the fact
that his manager always provides an
up-to-date production. "A German
Prince" is the title of the play in which
Mr.. Wilson is appearing this season.
The plot contains a pleasant mixture of
mirth, music and comedy, with just
enough intermingled pathos to give it
heart interest The music and comedy
are mostly supplied by the star in the
title role For "a German Prince
Mr. Wilson has written number of
new songs, among which are some of
the most catchy of his compositions.

..The Third Degree.,


Charles Klein, author of 1.-The Third
Degree" and other successes, makes
no secret of the manner in which he
endows his characters with virility and
life. He admits frankly that he takes
them from real life. He graciously ac-
knowledges the Mr.. Brewster, the i'm
pressiVe and cogent constitutional law
yer in his latest play, 1.-The Third De-
gree" is none other than Joseph H.
Choate, the we'll known New York
lawyer and late United States minister
to England. Then, too, it is an open
secret that Annie Jeffries, the heroine
in the same play, has her prototype in
a young woman employed in paper
box factory in Boston, who was dis
carded by her wealthy husband be-
cause she was not sufficiently polished
for his set. AS for the gruff, unrelent-
ing police captain, his double can be
found in almost any large city.
Mr.. Klein says that whenever he
sketches a character from life, it lends
q tinge to nature. which a mere crea-
tion of the dramatist's brain cannot
possibly accomplish.
The characters in THE Third De-
gree" stand out as human beings for
the simple reason that they are one
stage from the broader and more COM
pick stage OF human existence. It
would indeed be difficult to conceive
a more charming, convincing and nat
ural heroine for any play than Annie
Jeffries, the splendid specimen of
young American womanhood in Mr..
Klein's justly celebrated masterpiece,

Vanity a Serious Handicap

Why do many girls fail to realize that expressed vanity is a sure method of de-
 stroying attractiveness? One often seas amazingly pretty girls whose charms are spoiled by affectations bred in a pool of vanity.
 This type of girl has gazed so long and so perststently into vanity's pool that all It's reflections are stamped with her Im- age. Wherever she looks she sees her own charms reflected, her own image enlarged and beautihed, until she is obsessed by it, and prunes herself in the presence of this glorified image almost as if 1t were some great parsonage whose approval she seeks. No wonder her ways are self-conscious and her attention difficult to hold
 The vain girl rarely gives you undivided attention. It is continually wandering. straying here and there, until it sinks re- fresbed into the bosom of every passing mirror to feast upon the image of her self
 The vain girl seems to find it utterly beyond her power to disguise her vanity. Selfish women frequently disguise thelr selfishness and mean women often man. age to hide their meanness, but the vai,. woman has not the art of concealment at command.
 There is a look in the eyes that betrays her weakness; tricks of manner that an- nounce the fact of her absorption in self and warns the intruder that he cannot break through the crust of this absolp- ton, no matter how brilliantly he may try
 But the vain woman should strive to ac- qure the art of concealment. If she can- not succeed in uprooting her vanity she should at least make every effort to dis guise 1t if she wishes to keep her attrac- tion,

When Regrets Are Sincere

There are few words so variously inter- preted as regrets" It may mean a great deal, it may mean nothing at all. And between the two extremes there arc many shades of meaning
 Sending ones regrets is often nothing more than polite formalty and it is so understood. It is one of the common places of society, little drop of oil that helps to lubricate the wheels. Time and again it plays its part of a white lie.
 Still. the same word is used to voice real feeling. Something actually may in- terfere with attendance at function, and there is disappointment at the occurrence The expression may be used sincerely and in good faith. The point is that it is used so much one scarcely knows how to take 1t,

Massage For Temper

Massage has for some years been the fashionable woman's friend. It has in turn relieved her of nerves. a too sabund- ant figure. given her good circulation. and aided her digestion, and. altogether. put her on her feet when she was run down, and on edge from the demands of life.
 But massage is now being used in other ways and for other purposes. It bids fair to supplant entirely the old fashioned method of chastisement for children. If your child turns sulky or flies into lao- trunl, making life hdeous with it's temper, you no longer punish 1t in the old fash toned, satisfying, if ineffective, manner.
