A little five-year-old boy who is in
structed at every meal to chew his
food well, thought the lesson a good
enough one to pass along. Accordingly
the next time his baby sister was fed,
he shook a. warning finger at her and
admonished her: Baby, you must

with a grand disregard for the rules of
health, blinked at her big brother and
bolted her nourishment just as all
babies did before Fletcher became a

1t is a welI-known fact that a local
talent concert never draws much of u
crowd if there is any charge for it. But
now that the pipe organ is saved, it is
being observed by those who attended
the concert last night that the local
performer got the applause. If a To-
peka girl who gave a debut recital at
the Grand last winter had been the
soloist chosen for the evening of
song more than likely there would
have been an audience of some 81 peo-
pie, and the janitor, but they would
have heard a voice as good as those
that our concert goers pay twice the
price TO hear, when the singer belongs
to some other town or state.

SENIOR PLAY SUCCESS
High School Students Please Capacity
Audience at the Grand.

The capacity audience that saw the
senior class of the high school pre-
sent their play, 1.-THE Junior Coed. -
at the Grand last night, went away
of a college song. The play presented
the usual types often heard but sell
dom seen in a college such as the rah-
rah boys with trousers that go all the
way down and half as far again, a
large exposed portion of brightly
hued hosiery, at one end and a turn
ed I'D hat at the other.
Miss Ernestine Klein, who took the
leading part of Janet Hale, scored a
distinct hit. She got her voice we'll
over the footlights, which so many
amateurs fail to do. and walked the
boards with as much grace and I'M

twins, acquitted themselves in a cred

Leon Holman and Roy Winter. as
college students, played their parts to
perfection. Mary Van Vechten, as
Violet. the slangy young lady, had a
good comedy part, and did 1t well,
scoring one of the hits of the farce.
Phil Gray and Lyman Malone, who
had parts of old men, wore their
whiskers as if they had been accus-
toned to them all their lives. Miss

CAN'T TAKE A HINT.
The Colonel Talks Politics to the
Commercial Travellers.

Springfield. Mass, April 13.-Al-
though he received a broad hint not
to talk politics, Colonel Roosevelt
spoke for an hour here, and it was all
politics. After paying his respects to
the speaker who laid the injunction
upon him, he made the flat statement
that he believed his hearers wanted
him to say what he believed.
The forbidden speech was deliv-
cred before the Commercial Travel
McKechnie, who introduced the
POSTMASTER, told Colonel Roosevelt
that politics was barred.
Religion and politics play no part
in this organization" he said ANY
reference thereto is expressly prohib-
tied by it's constitution"
During the Introductory remarks
the colonel sat quite still, looking
straight ahead of him with a quizzical
expression. When he arose he said:
II know you wished me to come
to Massachusetts to tell you the rea-
sons for the faith that lies in me. Mr..
McKechnie has said your organization
wishes entire freedom of speech. That
is no jest. You wish any man to
speak with frankness, and 1 could
not come here and refrain from
speaking of politics, because with me
politics represents the deepest con-
victionS as to the vital needs of the
country and of course I shall speak
The coloners hearers hardly knew
at first how to receive what he said,
but as he went on, he was interrupt
ed frequently with applause. He de-
clared that in a contest such as the
present campaign, it was necessary
to consider both the business needs
of the country and it's moral needs.
The present policy of the government
toward corporations, he asserted, is
wrong, and it is futile to try to con-
troll big business with law suits.
lit is bad to have a policy of stran-
Cling business" he said, but it is
worse to have policy of sham
He then explained his ideas in re-
gard to the courts, citing several laws
which he said the courts had unjustly
overturned. Zone of the movements
we intend to bring about" he said,
"1s that instead of two IL hour shifts,
seven days of the week for workmen,
we have three eight-hour shifts for
six days week"
II am told" he went on, that
when I insist upon the people hav-,
ing the right to pass upon such laws
their welfare, I am laying
an impious hand upon the ark of the
covenant My fight is for justice"
Colonel Roosevelt later went to the
Central high school, where he spoke
for a few minutes. Then he went to
his car to leave for Nashua, N. H.

OMAHA BLOCK BURNS
Loss of $35O,OOO Well Covered by
Insurance.

Omaha, Neb., April ia fire which
early this morning swept away one of
the principal business blocks in the re-
tail section of the city caused loss Of
probably $3.50 900 and put out of bust
ness several important retail concerns.
Two of the largest banks of the city
were at one time threatened with de-
struction and only extraordinary efforts
on the part of the fire department, the
entire force of which, including the day
shift, had responded to a general alarm,
prevented a much larger loss.
The fire was the most spectacular
seen in the city for years and at one
time when a large stock of fireworks
began to explode, it nearly caused a
street panic among the thousands who
had gathered to witness the conf1agra-
ton. Extra squads of police, however.
soon had the situation under control.
Manager Harmon, of McCrory COM
pany's five and ten cent store, was
dangerously cut by flying glass when
he rushed into the store and secured

only by a cash register. No other ac-
cident occurred.

WEEKLY MARKET NEWS
IrreguIarity and Reaction Were Fea-
lures of the Week.

New York, April 13.-Irregularity
and reaction were the dominant fea
lures of this weeks stock market
Some new high records for the year
were recorded at the outset, but most
of these were lost in the later deal
ings, the sole exc option being Ameri-
can Can common, which touched the
highest quotation in it's history. The
weeks business embraced many issues
of minor Importance, but the prominence
of these stocks was not especially help
full to the standard issues.
United States Steel, and Union Pa
cific were under persistent pressure but
the selling of these made no distinct
impression until yesterday. Coppers
held barely steady. despite another ad-
vance in the price of the metal which
sold above 16 cents per pound.
Politics as reflected in the presi-
Dental primaries and the uncertain
state of the labor situation, as wit
messed in the deadlock in the anthra-
cite coal situation, and the vote of
the locomotive engineers, were factors
which the professional element chose
not to ignore. On the other hand, addi-
tional advices received from various
centers pointed to continued betterment
in trade. and money remained relative
ly easy.
Railroad earnings were satisfactory
in the main and intimations of large
orders for equipment were helpful tc
that class of securities.
