Edmund Kean and Charlotte Cox.

The famous tragedian, Edmund
Kean, was the victim Of what would
be known today as "con game" and
the most ancient one of the series
That IS, the familiar group consist
ing Of the poor. seduced wife, the
villain lover and the righteous hus-
band thirsting for vengeance, but not
averse to accepting heart balm in

The woman in the .ase of Edmund
Kean was Charlotte Cox, and the
husband Robert Albert Cox. "a Lon
his celebrated role of the Moor. in
'Othello." one night in England when
lady in one of the stage boxes, who
had watched Kean with the greatest
Interest during the performance, was
so overcome by the intensity of his
acting that she tainted. In the con-
fusion that followed. the people near
her, by a strange chance, took her
over the stage and brought her to
Kean's dressing room to recover.
The recovery took place when
every one had gone from the dress
ing room and left her alone with
Kean. Then she told him what had
made her faint and fired battery

Shortly afterward the husband
came in, a meek. considerate. won
derfully believing man. innocent OF
all guile. and a jolly good fellow.
He thanked Kean for the attention
the latter had paid his wife in her
fainting spell, and begged for the
honor of having Kean over AT the
Cox home for dinner.
That was how it began. And 1T
lasted for eight years Mrs C.N

but he gave himself ever entirely to
Mrs. CoX-not only himself, but his

more ardent as drafts upon her lover S
money became more frequent. And
throughout the period of this amour,
Mr.. Cox was remarkably unsuspicl-
Gus. He believed implicitly in Char

friendship with Kean. More, he
thought it great sport to have kean
visit his wife at night while he
promised not to be home until 3 am.
All this time Mrs. Keen was suit

But when the Black Shadows came
creeping through the Green Forest
Hooty became very wide awake. 1t
was then that he started out hunt

of him was in the hearts of all the
little people of the Green Forest and
sometimes far beyond 1t. 1t was then
that his terrible voice made them
shiver and shake.
But the fear was as nothing to what
1t would be a little later when Hooty's
hungry babies would be crying for
foot. That would be the time when
all the little people would seek their
safest hiding places after dark, and
would keep even further away from
that part of the Green Forest Hooty
and Mrs. Hooty would have 1t quite to

Upon his return to the scene he

curious of the region were paying real
money to see the whale. The federal
courts were asked to decide the point
of ownership of both the whale and
the gate receipts.

MISSOURI PLANS
BIG COTTON CROP
HOWEVER SPRING WORK ON
PLANTATIONS HAS BEEN
DELAYED BY WEATHER.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.-Mis-
souri, cotton planting is at hand and
preparations are on for a big acreage
in the older districts and cotton grow
ing is extending into much new ter
ritory. The Missouri cotton planter
can observe with profit the present
conditions in, the old cotton belt
states, according to K. A. Logan and
Jewell Mayes of the federal-state crop
reporting service, the latest returns
showing that on the Atlantic coast
the planting of cotton is now general
as far north as North Carolina.
Spring planting and cotton farming
have been quite generally delayed by
rains and cold.
Preparation of the land is practical
ly completed in all sections and indi-
cations still point to an increased acre
age. A great demand for fertilizers
and weevil poison is noticeable.
Early Planting Begun.
Cotton planting among the early
birds of southern Missouri starts with
putting in patches as early as April
18th, extending with the larger and
later paintings until May 18TH and
even later where weather proves I'M
favorable.
The increase in acreage of cotton
that Missouri farmers will plant in
1928 may well depend in part upon
conditions as spring develops in the
older cotton belt states, where plant
ing is so much earlier than in southern
Missouri. The lower the acreage and
the poorer the average crop condition
OF the big areas of down south cot
ton, the larger the percentage Of prob
able profit in increased acreages OF
Missouri cotton. The Missouri plant
err should and doubtless will watch
southern cotton reports with lively in
terest until after May.
Missouri's cotton acreage picked in
thirteen counties in 1922 totaled 1873
600 acres, against 100000 in 1921 and
10000 in 1920. Production in 1922
was 10000 bales, against 10000 in
1921 and 10000 in 1920.

PULLMAN THIEVES STEAL
EVEN THE CAR BED CLOTHES
Blankets Made Over Into Mems Trousers and Womens Coats by
obt Fingered Travellers. Most of Loot Is Recovered

But the world is really growing
better in respect to leaving pullman
things alone, Mr.. Mulroy contends.
This inclination on the part OF ffle
light fingered ones is helped consider
ably, he says, by the policy OF not
selling pullman articles or permitting
the disposal in any way of overpro-
duction, seconds or spoiled articles,
Mr.. Mu1roy reports that during 1918
and 1919 $500 blankets were reported
missing from pullman. cars, but with
the assistance of the police and the
hotels much stolen plumber has been
recovered.
1t is interesting to note in Mr.. Null
rows report that 343,728 boxes of
matches, 266544 cakes of toilet soap
and 9,185 gallons of liquid soap are
used in one month by the company.
In one year 300,000,000 pieces of
linen were Numbered, including 2,53l,-
$40 coats worn by porters and walters.
The company's store rooms have
5000 different articles constantly on
hand and 7,092,056 pieces of linen are
required for daily equipment and re-
serve. He explains that not all articles
are kept in all store rooms, as articles
needed in San Francisco or Seattle
may be comparatively useless in Bos-
ton and New York.
