STORY OF COUNTRY TOWN.
Atchison, Kan.—Ed W. Howe, t who
made Atchison famous through his writ-
ings in the Atchison Glob© and put the
town on the map, is going to little old
New York in a few weeks and show the
chaps along Broadway a few things.
Mr. Howe will leave Atchison having in
his care and custody a four-act drama.
When he reaches New York he will put
up at the most expensive hotel arid then
this is what he will do, as per his own
announcement:
PRODUCED PLAY AS SAMPLE.
He will beg no manager to read or to
s#ige his play. He will pick out seven
actors who, to his mind, are best fitted
or look the parts of his drama, and hire
them. At the first available afternoon
ho will rent a theater, invite the man-
agers and the critics and let them see
just what kind of a play he has. Then
he intends to have them tell him the real
truth in their opinions about it.
"If Broadway doesn't like the play »t
can go hang," says Mr. Howe. "1 don t
give a continental. Twenty-five years
ago 1 wrote a novel. The critics said it
was all right, and Mark Twain told me
at the end of a nineteen-page letter lie

dramatize it. t
HIS NOVEL STLLL SELLS.
"William Dean Howells welcomed It as
the great American novel. The public
never thought so very much about it,
but they have been buying it every
year. It is this novel that 1 am now go-
ing to dramatize, and if it makes a hit
then I shall he ready to receive bids from
the New York producers.
"If It does not make a hit? Well, then
I'll know the truth about it, and I am
coming back home and settle down on
my farm home on Potato Hill. I have
got all the money 1 need to live on and
brains enough to have a good time in
spite, of Broadway."
The book that Mr. Howe has dramatized
and will produce at his own expense is
"The Story of a Country Town."

March 17,
1787. He was
sent at on
early age to
a day school In Soho, hut con-
stantly played truant. At the age
of 2 he made his first appear-
ance on any stage an Cupid, and
played in "Blue Beard" at Drury
Lane. In 1704-05, and the page in
"Falstaff" that same season.
Then he acted in several com-
panies in London, and traveled In
the provinces, where he acted and
recited and gave Imitations of
other actors. At the age of ltf
he joined the Sheerness com-
pany, playing George Barnell
and Harlequin at a salary of
fifteen shillings a week. He was
hilled under his mother's name,

He made two visits to this
country when at the height of
his fame, first In 18'JO, and again
in 1825-26.
In the "Memoirs of Charles
Mayne Young" this pen portrait
of the boy Kean is to be found :
"During the Christmas vaca-
tion Thomas Young was In the
habit of giving frequent dinners
to his friends and acquaintances,
at which his son Charles was al-
lowed to appear as soon as des-
sert was put on the table. On
one of these occasions, * • • as
Charles was descending the stairs
to the dining room, in his smart.

most penetrating eyes he had
ever beheld in human head.
"ills first impression was that
the two were strolling gypsies
from Bartholomew Fair who had
come for medical advice. He was
soon undeceived, for he liad no
sooner taken his place by his
father's side, and heard the
servant whisper their presence In
the hall, than, to his surprise,
the master, instead of manifest-
ing displeasure, smirked and
smiled, and with an air of self-
complacent patronage, desired his
butler to bring in the boy.
"On hip entry he was taken by
the hand, putted on the head, and
requested to favor the company
with a specimen of his histrionic
ability. With a self-possession
marvelous in one so young he
stood forth, knitted his brow,
hunched up one shoulder-blade
and with a sardonic grin and
husky voice spouted forth Glos-
ter's opening soliloquy In 'Rich-
ard III.' He then recited selec-
tions from some of our minor
poets, both grave and gay,
danced a hornpipe, sang songs,
both comic and pathetic, and for
fully an hour displayed such ver-
satility as to elicit vociferous ap-
plause from his auditors and
substantial evidence of its sincer-
ity by a shower of crown pieces
and shillings. * • •

WASHINGTON SEASON
TO BRILLIANT END
Last Few Weeks Are Crowded With Every Festivity
Characteristic of the Close of a Congress—Vice Pres-
ident and Mrs. Sherman Entertain for Diplomats.
You Will Enjoy U«lnf TIZ. Th® Mott Ple&iant
Remedy You Ever Tried and Moreover It Works,
At last here is instant relief and a last-
ing permanent remedy for sore feet. No
more tired feet No more aching feet. No
more swollen, bad smelling, sweaty feet.
No more corns. No more bunions. No
more callouses, no matter what nils your
feet or what under the sun you've tried
wltiK ui getting relief. Just uno TIZ.
TIZ is totally unlike anything else for
the purpose you ever heard of. It's the
only foot remedy ever made which acts ou
the principle of drawing out all the poi-
sonous exudations which cause sore feet.
Powders 'ami other remedies merely clog
up the pores. TIZ cleanses them out and
keeps them clean. It works right off. You
wil' feel better the very first time it's
used. Use it a week and you can forget
you ever had sore feet. There is nothing
on earth that enn compare with it. TIZ
is for sale at all druggists, 25 cents per
box, or direct, if you wish, from Walter
Luther Dodge & Co., Chicago, 111.
BY MRS. I.EHiH CHALMERS.
WASHINGTON, D. C., March 4.—A bril-
liant social season has just ended in a
blaze of glory. Every festivity possible to
be crowded into the allotted space of time
was rushed Into the few weeks from the
New Year's reception by President and
Mrs. Taft to the beginning of Lent.
Luncheons, dinners, dinner dances, cotil-
lons, amateur plays In the new society
playhouse and club, just Inaugurated by
several society people gifted In that line
(.several playwrights of the number) to
tht great enjoyment of their friends, tven
Sunday was pressed into service, there
having been numbers of luncheons at the
Chevy Chase Club and elsewhere, and din-
ners galore.
The Vice President and Mrs. Sherman,
who have entertained so lavishly and had
so muny house guests during the season,
terminated a long series of hospitalities
with a very brilliant reception to tne
diplomatic corps Monday night. It was
an unusual thing for a Vice President in
S" entertain the diplomats, and this recep-
tion proved one of the most beautiful
functions of the season—a season so re-
plete with great affairs.
The costumes worn at the reception of
the Vice President and Mrs. Sherman were
distinctly elegant. The entire house was
tasteful'y decorated with American beauty
and Killarney roses and spring flowers.
On the dining-room table was a wonderful
silver basket filled with gorgeous tiger
lilies.
An orchestra from the Marine Band, sta-
tioned on a landing of the stairway, played
through the evening, and an elaborate
repast was served In the dining-room.
MRS. SHERMAN GENIAL HOSTESS.
Mrs. Sherman, always a""genial hostess,
was particularly cordial In the reception
of the guests, and altogether the first re-
Vicf
ceptlon given by the Vice President, com-
plimentary to the diplomatic corps, was a
most delightful occasion.
Mrs. Sherman received her guests in a
handsome gown of white satin, richly bro-
csded in black In a design of fern leaves.
Of the many stunning gowns seen at the
reception, that of the ltaroness Hengel-
mulfer, wife of the Austro-Hungarlan am-
bassador, the dean of the diplomatic corps,
was particularly beautiful. It wag of pale
yellow brocade, with handsome jet orna-
ments. In her hair she wore a tiara of
dla monds.
Baroness Preeschan, wife of the naval
attache, was In a handsome gown of pale
blue satin, with an overdress of pink cnlf-
fen, embroidered In gold thread.
Mme. Jusserand, wife of the French am-
bassador, wore a gown of sage green satin
veiled In black chiffon. Her jewels were
a diamond necklace and tlara.
Mrs. Bryce, wife of the British ambassa-

man ambassador, wore a handsome green
velvet gown with exquisite diamonds and
pear! ornaments.
Mine. Ali Kull Khan, wife of the charge
d'affaires of Persia, wore a striking Persuin

THE BRYCES' RECEPTION*
The reception at the British embassy
last week was similar to the one given
there last year and takes rank with the
notable functions of the season. The Bryees
have entertained frequently since taking
up their residence in the British embassy
four years ago, a charm and dignity al-
ways pervading all their hospitalities. The
rumor is still current from time to time
that Ambassador Bryce Is shortly to be
recalled.
Secretary of State Knox has announced
that John Hays Hammond has been des-
ignated to represent the United States
at tho coronation of King George.
Tho President and Mrs. Taft gave a
dinner dance to young people last week,
their son, Robert Taft, being home from
tho Harvard Law School with a class-
mate. Walter Davis, for a few days.
Tho President and Mrs. Taft were en-
tertained at the 1/ist of a series of din-
ners which the members of the Cabinet
gave in their honor during tho season, by
the Secretary of Commerce and Labor
and Mrs. Nagle.
Several members of the Cabinet havo
entertained lavishly the past week. In
years gone by the four state functions at
the White House have stood out In bold
relief, but the great number of largi
entertainments, receptions and balls that
now figure on the calendar rather dwarf
the series of receptions given by the
President.
Miss Taft was the guest of honor dur-
ing the week at a cotillon In Dupont cir-
cle, given by Mr. and Mrs. Kdson Bradley
of Boston, of the millionaire winter con-
tingent, who entertain magnificently.
This was a brilliant affair.
The Postmaster General entertained in
Miss Tafi'a honor and Representative
and Mrs. Herbert Parsons of New York
gave a dinner. On Friday the British
ambassador and Mrs. Bryce gave a din-
ner with Miss Taft as honor guest.
The Mexican ambassador and Mme.
de la Barra are being much entertained.
During the week a luncheon In their
honor was given at the home of the As-
sistant Secretary of State and Mrs. Hunt-
ington Wilson, and a dinner bv<he Attor-
ney General and Mrs. Wlckersham.
chief Justice and Mrs. Seth Shepard
announce tho engagement of their daugh-
ter, Caroline, and John W. Falson of
New York City. The wedding will take
plsce next May.
The last of the formal dances of the
season at Fort Mycr took place, but the
Informal biweekly dances will continue
ur.tll May.
Great intercut Is being aroused In th»
coming horse, show at Fort Mycr March
20. The pirns made for It Indicate It will
be the greatest that has ever been held
in the Fast. It Is primarily an exhibition
of army horses and to stimulate the
breeding of army horses, but interest
among tho fashionable people of Wash-
ington Is already manifest.
Lieut. Adna R~. Chaffee of the Fifteenth
T'nlted States Cavalry and a member of
the equitation board of the army; Mai.
Frederick S. Foltz of the Fifteenth Cav-
alry. MaJ. L. G. F.erry of the Third Field
Artillery and Cnpt. J. R. IJndsey and
Capt. L. C. Andrews of the Fifteenth
Cavalry will manage the show.
HORSE SHOW CLASSF8.
The classes will cover every feature
of military horsemanship, training re-
mounts and saddle horses, development
of gaits, training Jumpers, officers'
chargers, artillery horses and polo ponies
There will be one ludge for each event,
and the awards will be made In the ring.
Somo of the finest mounts in the United
States will be entered. Several winners
of ribbons at the hie shows in Chicago
and New York will be entered by their
owners, it is said by those In charge of
thn affair.
Washington eoclety has planned all
kinds of diversion for the Lenten season,
one of which will be the skating parties
arranged for Mondav afternoons at the
Navy Yard In the sail lof», for the benefit
ef the Navy f^cague.
Mrs. Meyer, wife of tho Secretary of
the Navy, will icccive at the first party
of the series. There will be music for
the skaters bv the Mayflower band.
Mrs. Ernest W. Roberts of Massachu-
setts, the incoming president of the
Congressional Club, entertained Mrs.
Gregg of Texas, the retiring president,
on Thursday, March 2, Texas Independ-
ence Day. Several of the Texas ladles
assisted in receiving, atul the Texaa flag
was intertwined with the Stars uru
Stripes.
The club has proved a delightful ren-
dezvous, a middle ground for encourag-
ing mutual acquaintance and Intercourse,
Which was greatly needed. The con-
gr< slonal circle was so large and chang-
ing every two years to a great degree
that It was difficult, with so busy a
social season of a few weeks at most,
to become acquainted.
Mrs. Smith, wife of Representative
W. R. Smith of Colorado, Tex., has just
been elected vice president, and Mrs.
Garner of Uvalde, treasurer. The retir-
ing president, Mrs. Gregg, is a Texan,
also Mrs. Slayden, chairman of the en-
tertainment committee; so Texas has
been quite honored.
MRS. SMITH ENTERTAINS.
Mrs. Smith gave a charming at home
Tuesda* last. It has been unusual for
the Texas ladles to surround themselves
with their own belongings, but Mrs.
Smith decided to furnish her apartment
instead of renting furnished quarters, as
she would be here several months with
her young daughters, who are at school,
and she wished something of a home-
feeling In her environment. Hare, good
taste she displayed, too, with the quaint
mahogany, brasses, sliver and all the
things to harmonize therewith. It was a
most attractive scene, with the blazing
fire, the yellow tulips everywhere, the
most-daintily-arranged table, with a
bevy of young Texas misses to assist
her In her hospitality.
Miss Martha Clifton of San Antonio,
daughter of J. A. Clifton, poured tea,
looking very winsome In a blue silk
gown, veiled in self-colored chiffon, tho
silk waist, with gold lace garniture un-
der the chiffon, which was embroidered
In blue and white pearls. Sho wore a
becoming picture hat of white satin faced
with black velvet and trimmed with an
unusually handsome white willow plume.
Miss Ruth Johnson of San Angelo was
in champagne voile, with white beaver
hat, with white willow plumes.
Miss Caroline Glddings of Brenham
was gowned In canary-colored voile, and
her hat was black velvet with a garni-
ture of small pink roses and a big black
lace butterfly.
Miss Alice Hlgglnbotham of Dublin
wore a light pink broadcloth, white beav-
er hat, faced with pink velvet and pink
willow plumes.
These young ladles are all here attend-
ing the Gunston School.
Mrs. Smith was gowned in a black-
and-white glace silk, lace yoke and
sleeves, old rose embroideries and coral
and pearl Jewels.
Misses Francos and Dorothy were able
assistants to the mother. The former
wore a gown of old blue, with gimp of
Persian chiffon over blue silk and the
latter a soft shade of pink linen with
white embroideries run with black velvet
ribbon.
Mrs. Henry, wife of Representative
Henry, assisted Mrs. Barker of Chevy
Chase School In receiving her guests on
Shrove Tuesday. Mrs. Henry's daughter
and niece are attending that school, the

OF THE DAYS OF LOLA MONTEZ
The Ballet Dancer Once Notorious Now
Almost Forgotten.
One of the figures out of that no-man's
land of history which always exists about
"sixty years since," at any given date,
was thrown upon the screen at a club
smoke-talk the other night by a Boston
historiographer on Lola Montez. There
were members of the club present to
hear the talk who must have been boys
at the Latin school and English high
when the ballet dancer vlsfted them, but
they could recall nothing of the episode.
Persons and things too recent to have
got Into standard history and books of
reference, and not recent enough to be
remembered well by existing generations,
are in more danger of being utterly
burled In oblivion than we always realize.
Here was a personage who was the cause
of a storm of letters to the Transcript
that might have been written by the
grandfathers and grandmothers of any of
the present active men about town, In
protest against her having been received
In tho schools at all—ana already Lola
Montez Is In our chronicles scarcely the
shadow of a name. A few white-headed
clubmen could remember seeing Kossuth
standing up In his barouche In the great
procession of wclcome to the Hungarian
agitator, but their I>ola Montez, who was
here at the same time, was but a vague
echo of the scandal that had for a brief
space been bandied about here In their
uncomprehending childhood, subsequently
helped out by their reading about Dumas
pere and such.—Roston Transcript.

SCRAPED BOTTOM OF OCEAN
Dr. liartch Tells of Research Work by
Albatross Expedition.
The Roston Malacological Club held Its
first meeting of the season Monday even-
ing at the rooms of the Appalachian Moun-
tain Club, the president, Prof. K. S.
Morso of Salem, lu the chair. The meet-
ing was a large one for a special subject,
showing how much Interest there Is In
Boston in the collection and study of shells
and the creatures that inhabit them.
The subject of the evening was the re-
lation of what had been done by the In-
dividual members during the season and
began with an informal account by Dr.
Paul Bartsch of the T'ulted States National
Museum, a guest, who spoke of his col-
lecting trip on the part of the museum to
the Philippines. Here a new method was
taken, that of enormous collecting, tho
activities of the crew of the Albatross and
of the scientists being engaged all the
time.
The Philippines have nlwnys been noted
for the number and beauty of the shells
to be found there and in the older days as
many as four thousand species were to
their credit. But In this lot of material
there are hundreds of new species and
many new genera. The dredging was at
various depths even down to fifteen or
sixteen thousand feet. The speaker de-
scribed the place as a paradise for the
shell collector. Great tree snails abound,
some of them nearly as large as a pint
measure, with enormous quantities of
minute shells, all with colors that vie with
those of the tropical birds and foliage,
while the seas are carpeted with the rich-
est of shades and patterns, the naked mol-
lnsks taking on a brightness of tints that
Is permlssable In a country where the brll-
llant-hued corals form the background.—
