RUDE MARQUARD OPENS
HIS WINTER CAMPAIGN
Gracefully Tells His Audience
When He Is Going TO Sing,
When Dance.
NO POOLING THE 'BATTERS'
Clark Griffith, with Sixteen
Pitchers on His Staff,
Dreaming of Making
a New Find"

Rube Marquard is having glorious
time at the Palace Theatre this week.
In company with his wife, Blossom
Seeley. the star southpaw of the Giants
has opened the winter campaign behind
the footlights. Jumping lightly with the
first touch of frost from the spiked shoe
10 the buskin, Richard manages to en-
terrain q large following Of admirers
throughout the year. He is a perennial
hardy always in full bloom.
His act this year is the best that any
ing public since the stars Of the diamond
invaded the theatrical realm.
AS the husband OF the suffragette base
ball manager, played by Blossom seeley,
Rube bears his fate cheerfully and causes
many a laugh. After practising all sum
mer he is able TO cut quite a few capers
of fancy sort. although he finds 1t hard
same time. His feet have finished be-
fore head and shoulders have started.
He is always careful to inform the au-
dlence when he is going to sing and waen
he will dance, so that there will be no
puzzling over what he Is trying 10 do.
Blossom Seeley has a baseball song that
is big league stuff. The act drew many
rounds OF applause.
Rube Is the last survivor OF promis-
Ing lot OF baseball Thespians who started
out several years ago. These included
Mike Donln. Matty and Meyers, Hughie
Jennings, McGraw and many others. lie
has come TO be a fixture. like John Drew,
Sothern. Gillette and the rest. Next year
he can begin his series Of farewells to
the American stage

his coming contest Cross said:

BEN WATSON.
A Farmer Who Whipped the Tobacco
Trust.

IN The Interesting People" depart
ment Of the March American Maya
zine appears IN article about Ben Wat
son. an old style American farmer
who organized a tobacco revolt in Ken
lucky and drove the Tobacco trust out
81 power in five counties. Following
is an extract:
I'm 1903 the trust was paying To the
farmers of the western part of Ken
tucky-the black tobacco region-iess
than three cents pound for their to-
bacco, a price less than the cost of
production. America boiled up in Ben.
With the aid of fellow tobaceo-raiser
of neiehhoring county he called Il
meeting at that county's seat To which
representatives from the five tobacco
raising counties of the region We're in
Vfted 10 consider the organization of
body whose purpose should be To secure

the farmers.
Ten or twelve farmers met, together
with about two dozen lawyers and 9TH

the farmers settled down To business,
and when the meeting adjourned
start had been made toward the nrst
Kentucky branch of the American So
ciety of Equity. The following year the
farmers pooled their tobacco, placing IL
in the hands of Ben Watson TO sell.
Ben advertised that he would meet in
Louisville on certain date any who
wished to bid on the entire tobacco

thought the farmers should receive

Like the wood merchants of northern
Russia, who carry their wood on great
RATS to Niini-Novgofod kazan, and
Astrakan. the farmers of the upper ana
central regions along the Yang-ste-
Kiang construct RATS covering as much
as two acres of surface, and on the RATS
they establish farms where produce
grows. On these great floating farms
are habitations for the men and stanles
for the animals. pig-pens, feed-barils,
and storehouses well stocked with pro-
visions. The voyage to market is often
1000 miles, and to employ their time on
the slow journey the jewellers on the
RATS make baskets and many objects
of household use. Arrived at their des-
tination. they sell their produce, take
apart and sell the RATS, and return to
their homes by the ways used by ordi-
nary ravelers.-Harpers weekly.
