SOBS BRING coin
Little Popcorn Vender Reaps a
Rich Harvest.
Game Spoiled When He Tackles
Same Person Twice.

Sobs-heartrending sobs-are worth
approximately a dollar an hour to an
11-year-old North Topeka boy. Many
times has he put on little vaudeville
act on Kansas avenue, crying and
wailing dismally.
Up would walk Kind Heart and ask,
What is the matter, little boy?''
The little pop corn vender with his
empty basket and ragged clothes
would dash a pint of salty tears up his
sleeve, wipe his nose, and reply pit
eously, Some b-b-big BIB b-boys
pushed me off the sidewalk and made
And the tears would flow afresh.
Naturally the kind hearted person
would buy the missing pop corn.
A woman on Kansas avenue patted
the little fellow on the back Wednes-
day and gave him coin for his lost
pop corn. AS she approached the cor
ner, a friend standing there grinned
and said, 1--WE fall for it, don't we?
1 gave him a dollar yesterday"
Given Three Suits of Clothes.
Three different people have bought
the little boy complete suits of clothes
but instead of wearing them, he puts
on characterization outfit that will at
tract sympathy. He has pop corn to
sell, but has found that if he cries he
makes much more money. One Sun
day he drove a nail in his shoe and sat
in front of a church weeping until a
woman took sympathy on him and
gave MIN some money to get nome on.
He was we'll dressed and she only
realized her gullibility the next day
when she met him in ragged work"
suit.
The Provident association investi-
gated the boy and his career recently
When he made the mistake of putting
on his little vaudeville act twice be-
fore the. same person, who reported
him. They found that his father in
North Topeka, is a laborer able to
support his family and does not need
to send his boy out to sell popcorn.
An older brother of the little chap
formerly used the same tricks to make
money but was caught at it Another
boy in the family exploits a lame
foot to excite sympathy.
Since the investigation the popcorn
sellers career or the Topeka streets
is practically ended.
Il never have seen a boy with such
a vivid imagination and splendid act
ing abilities said Mrs. E. j. Callahan,
of the Provident association. HE
acts and talks in sucn way as to
wiring anyone's heart and L am not
surprised that he was immensely sue
cessful IN making money with his
street vaudeville. While the escapades
did not injure anyone, if the boy is
not stopped he will develop into a pro-
fessional beggar as he grows older and
become incOrrigiblG.'

little and evaporation is consequently
considerably lessened. Water the
plants only when the soil becomes dry
not until then But when you do
pot all the way through. No regular
watering period can be adopted, all
soils not drying with the same degree
or rapidity. Meet the requirements
of your plant. But above all else re-
member that too much water will
quickly sour the soil.
The rule can be modified. however.
If you grow hanging plants. Evapor-
alton is much more rapid in them
owing to the higher temperature than
those at the window sill and the fact
that they are exposed on all sides.
For these reasons hanging plants will
probably have to be watered daily.
Be Careful of Food.
A popular fa1lacy is the belief that
II plant is not making rapid growth
during the winter it needs some kind
of a plant food. And acting on this
them generously. Frequently this will
result in luxuriant growth of
branches but humiliation to the bios
SONS. II your plants are healthy, be
satisfied. If your plants show no
signs of growing it is all the more i'm
foods, for they will not be able to d.
gest them.
In Case of Frost.
Two final rules should be remem-
bered in caring for window gardens.
If your plants get frost bitten do not
souse them with warm water. Sud
den transition from cold to warm will
be as injurious as the frost. They
should rather be taken into a cool,
dark room and showered well with
cold water.
Then remember to wage unrelenting
war on the red spider. This insect,
which is of such diminutive stature
that he is hard to detect, flourishes in
the dry air of the ordinary living
room. His presence will be Indicated
by following and dropping of the
foliage, a general appearance of i'll
health and the appearance of a tiny
web, found only after careful search,
on the under side of the leaves. The
spiders look like atoms of red pepper.
But they can speedily ruin a plant.
To successfully combat them use wa
ter. Plain ordinary water applied as
a spray or dip bath will effectively put
them out of business. The quickest
way to get rid of the pest is to dip the
plant in the water and leave it there
for two or three minutes. In prac-
tically every case not an insect will
survive.

Core admitted that he and johnson

SHIP OWNERS WEALTHY
War Brings Surprising Development
in NOrway's Merchant Marine.

Christiania, Norway, Nov. e.
Norways mercantile fleet has de-
veloped surprisingly since the be-
ginning of the war. Every available
ship, including old sailing vessels dis
carded years ago, has been refitted
and modified for traffic, especially in
the North sea. High freight rates
have made this trade so profitable
that one or two successful trips pay
for the entire cost of the ship, and
ship owners have become vastly
wealthy. Even the most conservative
persons have yielded to the lure of
speculation in ship stocks and have
invested all their spare savings Stock
companies are formed daily and even
before the ship has been delivered
into the possession of the new COM
pany, shares have been sold and re-
sold many times at increasing rates.
The newspapers are warning investors
against Misrepresentation, explaining
that as soon as the war is over, scores
of ships now tied up will again be
available for traffic, that the high
freight rates will drop and the over
capitalized ships will be unable to pay
their present high rate Of interest.

Give UP Big SALARIES
Soldiers of South African Contingent
Sacrifice to Serve Country.

London, Nov. En- the ranks of the
South African contingent, now in
training camp in HertfordShire, there
are more men who have relinquished
large salaries to serve the mother
country at a shilling a day than in
any other command of the size in the
imperial army. One private before
his enlistment drew a salary of over
$4,000 a year as manager of one of
the most important firms in the South
African colony. Magistrates, well to
do farmers and miners, civil servants
of high position and seven men who
fought as officers in the campaign
under Botha against German South
west Africa but had no commissions
open to them in the new contingent,
are in the ranks
The South African contingent is fill
ed with young Beers as well as
colonials whose British, parents were
pioneers in that world. Its motto,
Eendracht Maakt Macht = union
makes Strengths Dutch.
Cold weather affected the troops at
first, after their work in the burning
deserts of German Africa, but with
warm clothing they rather prefer it,
as they enjoy sharper appetiteS.
The contingent will be sent to the
front as soon as acclimatized.

BOURTzEV IS FREE
ExiIed Russian Politician Re-
turns From Siberia.
Hopes to See Long Wished For
Reforms in Nation.

Petrograd. Nov. 6.-Vladimir Bourt-
zev has celebrated his release
from Siberia by an interview in
the Bourse Gazette in which he ex-
presses the hopes of seeing the revolu-
tionary reforms he has so long advo-
Gated carried out in Russia at last
Bourtzev was directing operations
against the Russian secret police from
Paris on the outbreak of war, when
he took advantage of the proclama-
ton of political amnesty to return
home and offer his services to his
country. But Maklakov and Tcheg-
lovitov, the. two leading reactionary
ministers, then governed the country
and BOdrtzev was arrested and exiled
Notwithstanding the promise of par
don. When the two reactionaries
were forced to resign. BourtzeV was
promptly pardoned. Their dismissal,
he says, marks the passing of the old
regime.
The propagation of the Duma was
lamented by the revolutionist, who
nevertheless hoped the sittings would
soon be resumed.
mo one can doubt that at the pres
ent hour the Duma and country are
closely united" he added. Our sal
walton depends on the Duma''
Speaking of his second exile in ST.
IBERIA, Bourtzev said the transportation
system had changed for the worse.
Thirty years ago the political prison
ers were kept separated from the 9TH
ers while lately he had been hand
cuffed and put in the company of
common Indicators and on arriving
at the convict settlement he was new
er allowed out of the sight of his
guards.

CONSERVATION! Another fallacy has
been exploded.
birds of Kansas There's a reason
just like the famous breakfast food.
Here it is:
The birds do not have the flesh.
Who wants to eat skinny turkeys? No
need to answer.
So there will be no necessity for the
kings of the poultry family to build
bomb proof trenches this month. The
farmers will not be hunting for the
feathered creature. They know that
turkeys are rowing birds and that at
this time of the year they are nothing
but frames. A turkey frame would
not look becoming decorating the
heavily laden table in Kansas homes
on November rs.
What? January? Never!
To have turkey as the official dish
for Thanksgiving the national holt
day should come in the middle of
January, according to G. G. Bowman,
president of the Seymour Packing
company in Topeka.
1--WE do not begin to think about
turkeys until it gets colder" said Mr..
Bowman. Turkeys are rowing birds
and they are nothing but frames now.
especially since the weather curing
October was so mild. Not until it gets
too cold for the turkeys to roam
around do they come in and eat
the corn that makes them fat and
juicy. That is the reason why we pay
little attention to turkeys until later
in the year"
Mr.. Bowman is president of one of
the biggest produce companies in the
west and he does not even know what
the price of turkeys are. That's just
how important turkeys are to the
produce man at this time of the year.
Along toward Christmas time and
New Years the turkeys begin to get
fat and then they come into their own
as the national bird-excepting of
course the eagle-and are household
words in Kansas. OF course in colder
chimes turkeys are much in demand
for Thanksgiving, but in Kansas-no.
Other Things to Be Thankful For.
Even if Kansas can't celebrate
with nice fat turkeys,
she can be thankful for many other
good things Now what s the matter
with the luscious bread made from
the yellow wheat that has brought
fame to the Jayhawker state. Then,
too, there are the juicy slices of beef

and hogs. The housewife should

what pies can be made? Just ask

When Jack Frost drives the gar
dens from the yards into the windows,
he shifts on those caring for them the
responsibility of meeting the changed
conditions. Careful attention during
the winter season is necessary to Sc
cure healthy plants with numerous
blossoms.
The prime prerequisite for healthy
plants is plenty of fresh air. This
can best be secured by opening a
window at the top. Then, when a win
dow at the opposite side of the room
is opened at the bottom, or a door
Cat the opposite side of the room) is
opened fresh air will rush in and drive
the devitalized air out through the
window opened at the top. During
cold weather, however, air from out
of doors should not be allowed to
come in direct contact with the plants.
Need Sunshine.
Then plants need sunshine OF
this they should have all it is pos
sible for them to get That, however,
doesn't mean that they need heat. An
average temperature of sixty-five or
seventy degrees is about right. Any
higher or lower will do them no good.
Curtains on windows, deprive the
plants of sunshine that they need
much more than the room needs the
window covering. Shades to be
dropped between the plants and the
glass on cold nights will serve to good
advantage. But IN the DAY time CnGy
should be rolled up as high as pos
Sible.
Remember. also to break away from
the old rule that to him that hath
shall be given when arranging your
plants Almost invariably the large
plants are placed next to the window
while the smaller ones are given a
place in the rear. The little plants
have difficulty enough getting plenty
of sunshine when placed in front
Thau ShnI1ld have nj tho
window with larger ones on the sides
and rear.
Not Too Much Water.
If you would preserve your flowers
in a healthy condition, get away from
the idea that they need as much water
during the winter as they required
in the summer. During the winter
as a general rule, plants grow very

You will see how quickly the fowls
will get to the fresh air and shake out
their feathers. 1t is well to have a
good supply of fresh litter with small
grain thrown into it, at hand to keep
them busy. There is little danger of
their getting a chill. even on very
cold days.
One of the most essential things
know of for success with winter egg
raising is to have everything perfect

of it gets emptied The best method
for watering fowls that have ever
tried is stone milk crooks.

TESTING SEED BY INCUBATOR
Tray Made of Light Wood, Filled With
Sand, VIII Prove Efficacious--
Keep Temperature Right.

While not in use for Matching, the
incubator may be used for testing seed
by making false tray of light wood
which is filled with sand. The seed
should be placed in the sand, covered
and kept moist Keep the tempera-
ture up to. or above IS degrees, and
the seed will terminate in short
time.
Even when it is in use for Matching,
seeds may be tested by placing them
between damp cloths in plate, set
ting the plate under the egg tray in
what is known as the "chick nursery"
Plants thus terminated in sand may
be transplanted to the hot bed, not
only testing the seed for vitality, but
utilizing those SO tested.
