"Madame Sherry."
Xot very much of the story of
"Madame Sherry" Is revealed in the
advance announcements. Mainly the
thread of musical and other incidents
of this big musical success concern a
young unmarried New York man-about-town
sowing his wild oats on
money sent him by an uncle who be-
lieves his nephew married and the
father of two children. The uncle un-
expectedly pays a visit to the studio
of the nephew who to support his
story of domesticity is forced to
gather unto himself a family. He
presses his very unpatrlclan house-
keeper Into service to pass as hla
wife and gets his own sweetheart to
pose as one of his children and an
adult guest In his home to answer as
his son. It Is from the comic embar-
rassments growing out of this first
situation that the fun of the piece
begins. Of course attendant misad
ventures consequent upon the first de-
ception follow one another throughout
the play. The main love interest is
Introduced at the very outset with
the arrival of the uncle who brings
with him a relative Yvonne Sherry
a young maid just out of a convent.
It develops that the sweetheart of the
young man-about-town turns fickle and
falls In love with the guest passing
as her brother a plight that opens the
way for the mlschievlously scheming
nephew and the visiting convent girl
to become sweethearts which they do
In what is declared to be one of the
oddest ways In the world. Incident-
ally It Is the love of the convent girl
and the nephew that Introduces in the
play as a love theme the air of the
production "Ev'ry Little Movement
Has a Meaning All Its Own" that Is
now fast becoming a popular number
all over the world.
"Madame Sherry" comes to the
Colonial Tuesday night.
"The Pumpkin Husker."
"The Pumpkin Husker" a rural
comedy In four acts with Myrtle Stull
In the leading role has been before
the public as an amusement vehicle
for the past eight years and is just
as popular today as the day of Its
conception If the crowded houses that
continue to greet Its every appear-
ance can be taken as a mark of pop-
ularity. All the cheap sensational fea-
tures of the usual run of rustic plays
have been omitted and In their place
are to be. found some of the most
beautiful climaxes on the stage to-
day. This will be one of the attrac-
tions at the Colonial the coming week.

Washington Dec. 7. After sixteen
! years a record of service in the cab
inet Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
submitted today to President Taft the
last annual report he will make as
hpnrl nf tha TTnltari Gtataa rianat-tmotir
. -
j of agriculture. The report is more
j than a review of the past year's work;
jit contains summary of the agricul-
tural advance of the country during
j the venerable secretary's term of pub-
j lie service.
j "The record of sixteen years has
been written" he says. "It begins"
with a yearly farm production of $4-
000000000 and ends with $9532000-
000. Sixteen years ago the farmer was
a joke of the caricaturist; now he is
like the stone lhat was rejected by
the builder and has become the head-
stone of the corner."
"The tillers of the soil were bur-
dened with debts" he adds "but pros
perity followed and grew with unex
ampled speed. Beginnings have been
made In a production per acre In-
creasing faster than the natural In-
crease of population. There has been
an uplift of agriculture and of country
life.
"During the past sixteen years the
farmer has steadily Increased the
wealth production year by year with
the exception of 1911. During the six-
teen years the farmers' wealth pro-
duction Increased 141 per cent.
"Most productive of all agricultural
years In the country has been 1912.
jThe earth has produced its greatest
i annual dividend. The sun and the
j rain and the fertility of the soil heed-
; ed not the human controversies but
I kept on working in co-operation with
i the farmers efforts to utilize them.
The prices at the farm are generally
; profitable and will continue the pros-
I perity that farmers have enjoyed in
! recent years. The total production of
!farm wealth Is the highest yet reach
ed by half a billion dollars. The grand
total for 1912 is estimated to be $9-
532000000. This is more than twice
the value of the farm wealth In
1897."
More than $105000000000 Is the
grand total of farm wealth production
the report says.'during the past six-.
teen years an amount equal to about
three-quarters of the present national
wealth.
The most effective move toward re-
duced cost of living Is the production
of greater crops says the secretary
and this move he declares is due to
the work of the department of agri-
culture agricultural colleges and ex-
periment stations and to the help of
the press In pushing every movement
to help the farmers. The nation he
adds forgot its farmers In the general
scheme of education of past years and
few philanthropists thought of them
when giving for education but they
are waking up and thinking for them-
selves and congress has been good to
them.
The secretary first takes up the
work of the various bureaus of his
department in the past year and then
tells of the growth in some instances
from their foundation of these bu-
reaus during the time he has been
head of the department. He praises
highly the experts who have worked
under him. '
"The great and growing movement
carried on by the department for agri-
cultural betterment" he declares
"has not been sustained solely by one
man nor by a few men. A choice
corps of scholarly experts In their
special lines of endeavor has been
growing In membership In breadth of
view and In the practical application
of their efforts.
"The department Is prepared to
continue and increase its public serv-
Ice. During sixteen years It has prog-
ressed from the kindergarten through
j the primary middle and upper grades
I of development until now it has a
j thousand tongues that speak with
authority."
From a department with 2444 em-
ployes in 1897 and an appropriation
of $3272902 it has increased to 13-
858 employes at the beginning of the
present fiscal year with an appropria-
tion this year of almost $25000000.
Whereas there" are now 52000 re-
quests every week for department
publications there were but 500 in
1897; and during this period 225000-
000 copies have been distributed. In
soil investigation an area of 623000
square miles equal to that of Ger-
many France Great Britain Ireland
and Italy has been covered.

ENDORSED AT HOME.
Such Proof as This Should Convince
Any Bryan Citizen.
The public endorsement of a local
citizen is the best proof that can be
produced. None better none stronger
ran be had. When a man comes for
ward and testifies to his fellow-citizens
addresses his friends and neigh
bors you may be sure be la thorough-
ly convinced or he would not do so.
Telling one's experience when It la for
the public good is an act of kindness
that should be appreciated. The fol-
lowing statement given by a resident
of Bryan adds one more to the many
cases of Home Endorsement which are
being published about Doan's Kidney
Pills. Read it.
L. B. Kern 900 Caldwell St Bryan
Texas says: "I can recommend Doan's
Kidney Pills highly. Whenever I have
symptoms of disordered kidneys I take
a few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills
procured at Enamel's drug store and
they relieve me at once. The public
statement I gave In favor of this rem-
edy some years ago still holds good."

Even Heat Night and
Day Means Health
Cole's Original Air Tight Wood Heater will
give you n e home comfort for the money you
spend for fuel than you have ever had before.
The floor can be heated perfectly equal to
to the work done by high priced base flued
heaters. This remarkable quick-heating stove
wonder can be regulated to keep fire and heat
over night using wood for fuel.
You do not have to get up in the cold to kindle
a new fire every morning as with other stoves.
The two basic principles which make a suc-
cessful economical wood heater one that will
stand abuse and give lasting satisfaction are
First An absolutely air-tight constructibn" -giving
a perfect control over the fire.
SecondA large sensitive radiating surface
which responds quickly to the fire and radiates all
the heat from a slow perfectly controlled econ-
omical combustion of the fuel.
These basic principles are embodied in Cole's
Original Air Tight Wood Heater and make it the
most economical heater ever produced for
wood cobs and trash.
Made in all sizes-
and up.
