One evening Victor Hugo was dictat-
ing letters to his secretary. Overcome
by fatigue, the great man dropped into
a siumber. A ewmoments afterward he
awoke, haunted by a dream which, as
he thought, had extended over several
hours. and he blamed his secretary for
sitting there waiting for him instead
Of Weakening him or else going away.
What was his surprise when the be-
wildered secretary told him that he
had only just finished writing the last
sentence dictated to him and that Hugo
could have been doing only for few
seconds.

ROB ORPHEUM SAFE
Nearly $3.50 Taken From Theater
Strong Box Last Night.

The safe at the Orpheum theater
was robbed of $142-all it contained
some time around midnight. 1t is
small safe not too heavy for one man
to handle and it was carried from the
office upstairs down to the lobby and
there the combination was worked
and the doors opened. The fact that
the enamel was scratched off over the

worker to hear the tumblers fall, indi-
Gates that it might have been the job

the robbery during the night and says
he reported the fact to the policeman

The Raymond Wells Company play
ing at the Novelty theater seems to
have struck the psychological moment
for stock. In spite of the fact that
Topekans were under the impression
that stock was a dead issue in the
city, pointing to several failures as an
example, it was hard thing to con-
vince them that there was any DOS
sibility of Topeka supporting a stock
organization. But, the pessimists have
now become optimists and traditions
have been broken down and the Ray
mond Wells company seems to have
assured success at the Novelty theater.
The bill beginning Monday will be
a melo-dramatlc comedy entitled THE
| Convict" 1t tells the story of a man
sent to prison for anothers crime. II
pictures his struggles to live an honest

| he sinks lower and lower finally be-
coming a common tramp. Complica-
| lions are numerous. The situations are
sometimes dramatic and sometimes are
| found to be amusing.
The method that this company has
used seems to have struck a happy

robbery Of the Ordway ostoffice.
have been traced by Sheriff Lewis
Worker and the penitentiary at Fort
Leavenworth, Kans., has sent what is
claimed by the officials at that place
to be the criminal record of the two
men. The record sent Sheriff Worker
shows that the men have each served
terms in penitentiaries.
These men are now confined in Jail
in Pueblo with federal charge
against them for the robbery of the
postoffice here. These men admit
that they were in Ordway the night Of
the robbery. but claim no knowledge
of the affair. They have stated that
they went east between midnight and

were arrested at Haswell.

SIX MONTHS OF WINTER

Thruout tho United States the

the conclusion that there was no
need Of food administrator, nor
the need Of conservation OF food
stufrs, so plentiful seems to be the
supply. But on second thought
there is different aspect. Ahead
of the people Of this nation
are fully six months OF winter, dur
ing which time no food stufYs are
grown. What we seen In the fields
now under harvest must feed the
