cans call naughty" And she was with
people who were rich and wore fine
clothes.
Yes, she was different-all but her eyes.
Inside she was the same. And when she
looked at Mr.. Haworth, the little lady's
gentleman" Nanshekki in. her corner
grew uneasy. She predicted trouble, and
she was right.
Gradually Bert stopped coming to the
tearoom at 5. Leona would sit pretend
ing to sip her tea and finally go home
alone.
Then the little lady" herself failed to
appear one day, and she never came after
that.
The next time Bert came to the tea
room he was with the wicked lady"
The little japanese girl picked up a cor
ner OF her broad sash and walked Sc
dately away.
She was sad and unhappy these days.
If only she knew where the little lady
lived she would go to her. But what
could she do? She knew that no words
OF hers could comfort broken heart.
The weeks dragged along, and Nan
shekki had given up hope Of seeing Le-
ona again, when one day she slipped in
out of the street and sat down at one of
the tables. The little waitress scarcely
knew her, she was so thin and pale.
Scarcely was she seated when Nan
shekh saw her enemy at the door about
to enter. Come, lady, please, over
here" imploringly to Leona, who rose
unresistingly and followed the little
waitress to a STALL where she was pro-
tected from the prying eyes OF the hated
one.
When Bert Haworth arrived and an
other waitress glided up to him with.
will the gentleman please step over
here" indicating a table where the
wicked lady was waiting, Nanshekki
elbowed her out of the way.
Mr.. Haworth, please come with me-
she quietly insisted, touching his arm
with her hand. Bert followed and passed
her as she stepped aside holding the
beads out Of his way. He entered the
little. softly lighted stall where a girl
sat alone.
Nanshekh was nowhere in sight when
they came out. But somewhere a pair
of eyes as black as sloes was watching
for them, and when they saw the WON
derful look in the little lady's'' face,
all aglow with happiness, and the way
the young gentleman was watching her.
as though he could never take his eyes
away, she danced for Joy.
That wicked lady-she the limit-be-
lieve me"' she murmured in very good
American.

WEBER AND FIELDS

When Weber and Fields appear at
the Oliver theater on Wednesday
matinee and night. May 6, they will
revive their famous pool table scene.
one of those classic bits OF satire with
which their fame is invariably linked
This pool table scene was first intro
duced in New York about Is years
ago and they were using il in vaude-
Vile when they decided to rent the
little theater in the metropolis which
afterwards became the world famous
Weber and Fields music hall. Since
that time they had presented. il on
only few occasions at special the
atrical performances given by the
Lambs club and the Friars.
Another widely known bit of
burlesque which will be revived by
them for the new production OF
Hickey Pokey'' will be that supreme
ly ridiculous scene in which they ap-
pear as animated statues. This was
the most laughable incident in the
production of "Hoity-Toity" one OF
the earlier Weberfieldian shows

PAULIST CHOIR

Many Of the audiences who greet
the Paulist chOriSterS are composed OF
church folks who have read with in
terest Of the achievements of those
boy vocalists The advance sale, here,
indicates that there will be a repre-
sentative audience of South Bend
music lovers who will attend the two
concerts at the Oliver, afternoon and
evening, Thursday.
The enthusiasm with which these
choristerS have been received during
their world tours is really remarka-
ble,t until il is taken into considera-
ton that choral literature and Ope-
ratio arias are interpreted by the
youngsters in a surprisingly fresh, Wig
orous and effective manner. The boys
are of all ages and physical confor-
nation. and they sing like laks. They
are attractively CARRIED in dark gowns
with wine hued collars and cuffs and
snowy surpliceS, and when they flut-
ter to and from their places on the
stage, bird movements in keeping
with their clear birdlike voices are
suggested.
Rev. VIM. j. Finn. who has directed
the choir for a number of years, has
trained these juveniles to sing with
scientific correctness. Father Finn
has his divisional forces we'll in charge
and the tones he draws from the
throats Of his singers range from gem
tie. almost inaudible signs to waves of
swelling harmonious sound, with eli
makes of pulse-Quickening intensity.
Those who appreciate the opportunity
of hearing a wonderful male choir that
is being brought here at considerable
expense by the management, Will at
tend the concerts scheduled for Thurs

ing Mr.. Herve portray the principal

AT THE ORPHEUM.

Beginning at the Orpheum Thurs
day, a well variegated bill of vaude-
Vile will be seen. The Eight Berlin
Madcaps are one Of the principal fea-
lures. They are whirlwind dancers OF
international reputation, and added TO
their ability as clever steppers they
have a dashing air of fresh piquancy
that makes their act a dancing delight.
The Five Melody Boys, clever musical
artists. offer new program OF pop
lar selections. All of them are solo
lists of ability and in their concert
numbers they fairly make the theater
ring with the stirring tones of saCa-
phone. cOTnet and slide trombone.
They present a number Of original
compositions and many popular med
leys. A distinct novelty will be a
comedy sketch entitled "a Regular
Club Fellow" This classy produc-
ton is said 10 be full Of legitimate
humor and is most capably presented
by Richards and Kyle. Donahue and
Stewart have "A rural playlet entitled
Him and Her" that has become a
vaudeville classic, as presented by
them. The dialogue is keen and full
of wholesome humor. The Two Loves
present a western act, which has been
a feature with the large circuses, in
which they do lariat throwing and
difficult rope spinning.

DAMAGE To WHEAT
IS HARD To FIND
Experts Sent Into Crop Region
Are Now Mailing, Their Re-
portS-WeakneSS Reflected
in Corn Market.
BY JOSEPH f. PRTTCHARD.

CHICAGO, April 3O.-The longs in
wheat nave been waiting patiently for
crop deterioration in the southwest,
or for late seeding in the northwest.
This combination would have made
money for them, but the crop pros
poets in the southwest are believed to
be more promising than they were a
month ago and with higher tempera-
lures in the spring wheat country the
wheat seeding will have been finished
in & very short time.
From advices from correspondents
covering two-thirds of the counties in
the winter wheat belt, indications are
that winter wheat on May 1 will be
higher than on April l, according TO
b. W. Snow; that in spite of the green
bug reports from Oklahoma, coupled
with dry weather and high winds in
western Kansas and Nebraska, the
condition of the growing plant in
those three states is actually higher
than il was a month ago. Crop eX-
perts who have been sent into the win
ter wheat belt for the purpose of find
ing any losses If they exist, are no
longer spending money for their
houses by sending kilograms but are
outlook for the growing crop.
Cash grain houses of Chicago are
selling considerable new crop wheat
for early August and August de-
livery. These transactions during
the past Few days amount 10 365. 900
bushels. which included 200, 900 BUSH
els sold Wednesday. From present
indications the exporters of the United
States will have a great deal of wheat
placed for export by the time II is
ready for shipment. \ message re-
ceived by the writer from one Of the
leading Canadian concerns Wednes-
day says there is no business passing
10 speak Of in cash wheat on export
account
The weakness in wheat was reflect
ed in the corn market and the latter
was is a 1-2c lower for the day. The
weather was cooler and favorable for
work on the farms. Cash transactions
at Chicago were small at $4,000 bush
els
Oats were under heavy selling pres
sure for both May and the deferred
deliveries-the former in the way of
liquidation. the latter from a leading
local elevator interest There was no
improvement in the cash trade, the
volume being small at $4,000 bushels.
Conditions are unfavorable for the
crop in the northwest, but elsewhere
they are favorable.
The conspicuous feature in the pro-
vision market was the heavy liquida-
ton in the May future. Lard was par
ticularly weak. with sales by one
broker Of 10000 tierces of July. This
selling was credited 20 a large packer
other packers bought both lard and
ribs. There was free covering by
prOfit-taking shorts. which caused a
reaction from the lowest levels. Cash
trade was still dull. Close.
