There once was a little committee
That came down TO visit our citee;
We tried TO be nice,
But they didn't like spice
Now, wasn't that quite a sad pitee!
There once was a grave aggregation
To represent this so great nation
We're not so austere
Away down out here,
So they couldn't accept our oblation.

For any congressional bravo,
But we did want to hear

At THE THEATERS.
At the Grand.

In Zine Feathers which comes to
the Grand Saturday, matinee and
night, the author has built up
virile, interesting drama. The hus-
band is by natural inclination a man
of moral rectitude with the one thing
able to dull his moral sense being his
devoted love for his wife; the mephis-
tOphelian tempter is man, who, fail
ing to corrupt the husband through
means to satisfy such a thing as
cupidity, plays successfully upon the
weakness of the wife for fine feath-
ers" and accomplishes his purpose by
through his love for her. The result
evolves a tragic story.
The play was first produced at the
Cort theater, Chicago, on August IL,
1912, where it remained until the
Christmas holidays. Then it was pre-
scented in New York at the Aston thea
ter, remaining there the balance of the
season.
Harold BELL Wright. the most popu-
lar American novelist, with the as
sistance of Fishery w. Reynolds. has
dramatized his most widely read novel,

Novelty Review.
1.-The Little Modesto with Hal
johnson in the leading role is the Of
fering at the Novelty for the last half
OF the week.
Hal Johnson is certainly a clever
impersOnatOr of the fair sex. His ac-
tons, when attractively gowned in
feminine attire, were laugh prOvok-
ing. He was here a year ago in "Oh,
Look Who's Here" Johnson not only
made good looking young woman,
but he is also q handsome man. II
have been doing this kind of work for
fourteen years." he said after the
matinee Thursday, land Topeka is one
of the best places 1 have ever played
in. 1 was here when a little kid short
~ after 1 went on the stage and played
at the old Crawford opera house."
One person cannot make a show a
success. but Johnson has an excellent
supporting company. Alice Hamilton,
as the mOther-in-law, probably had
the edge" on other such characters that
have been here. Her makeup was o. K.
Olivette Haynes is cute; Merle Lewis
picturesque. The former gave a high
class singing and comedy entertainment
between the two scenes. A. Rowland,
the professor. was adept in showing dry
town citizens what it looks like to be
''spifflicated.''
THE Little Modesto is musical
tab that is worth while, and has a good

most harmless relief is Pape's Diapep-

PUT FAITH IN STALE BEER
Old Soldier Had His Own Ideas About
Best Way to Keep in Good
Physical Condition.

Sir Robert Baden-Powell's book,
Indian Memories" teens with good
stories of his early soldering days in
India. Some of the best stories he
tells, however, are those concerning
Sir Baker Russell, who was a major
in the Thirteenth Hussars soon after
the hero of Mafeking joined. and later
became colonel.
Sir Baker, who made great name
for himself as a soldier, was the
beau ideal of fighting leader" He
was beloved of the men, who nick
named him Bakers Dozen" mainly
on account Of his unorthodox methods.
ION one occasion says Sir Robert,
"the colonel had to lecture one of his
men for some minor misbehavior. The
man was a splendid type of old sol
der, a wonderful boxer, swordsman,
rider, and marksman, but he was very
fond of his mug of ale. When he
was brought up for having had drop
too much the colonel remarked to
him:
"'My good man, only wish / could
drink as much as you do and keep as
good nerve Tell me how you man
age it, and / will let you off,
ben Hagan, for that was the fell
lows name, explained his secret. 1t
was to fill hand basin with beer
every night before turning in. and to
place it underneath his bed. Then
his first act on waking in the morn
ing was to pour it down his throat.
He believed that the only way to pre-
serve health and nerve was to take
big doses of really stale beer the first
thing in the morning"

logical survey. This is an iron alum
mum silicate found only in Virginia

which is told of their origin; the
fairies living in the caves of the
mountains, on hearing the sad tidings
of the death of Christ, fashioned these
crosses as mementos Of him.

Testing Quality of Ale.

At one time Shakespeare father is
said to have served as an ale conner
or tester. In the olden days the ale
conner tested only for sugar, and a.
musty (and doubtless ale-soaked)
chronicler tells us that it was the
custom of. these testers to enter a
tavern, call for pot ''by accident
(sic) spill a puddle" on bench and
sit in the puddle for ''half an hour by
the clock" If the conner could rise
with due dignity from his seat, all
was well; but woe to the tapster whose
ale glued the leather breeches Of the
tester to the bench-there was sugar
in his ale; which brings us, by the
well-worn route of anecdote, nearer
home.
1t has been a long jaunt for the Old
nag and a far cry from the inventive
I-tye to the alembical methods of one
Harmon Gansevoort who, as pioneer
brewer in Albany, N, Y, is said to

CHECK REIN WAS TOO TIGHT
Witness Would Have Preferred to Be
Given a Little LeeWay in His
Court Testimony.

An aged negro porter, nearly eighty
years old, was arrested on some trivial
charge, for which he was later dis
charged. 1t proved, during the trial,
that he had never seen the inside Of
a court before, and the hustle of events
greatly dazed and embarrassed him.
AS he stood up when his name was
called the clerk sang forth:
do you solemnly swear that the
testimony you shall give in this case
shall be the truth, tn whole truth,
and nothing but the truth, so help you
God?"
And the negro started back gasp
ing. Then he turned quickly to the
bench.
"Mistah Briles, he said, for he knew
ais honor from boyhood in an unoffi-
cial capacity, Use puffectly willin' ter

Not the African Variety.

Shocks was one of those conceited,
make-believe, bold hunters, and was
always spinning his yarns about his
experiences in Africa, and he gener-
ally wound up by saying he never yet
saw lion he feared. One night, after
he had finished EARNING, he was little
taken aback by one of his audience,
who said:
That's nothing. / have lain down
and actually slept among lions in their
wild, natural state"
Il don't believe that. I'm no fool, "
said the bold hunter
tits the truth, though"
