He tested per pair Talking Machines Plentiful i Many persons, owners of talking machines, have been wondering lately at the number of new machines on the market and speculating as to how the manufacturers were able to produce the machines without infringing on the original patents held by companies who have been in the business for years and who have patented every conceiveable device for the per-fction of the machines, said a music dealer today. It is said by some of the music dealers that the reason for the sudden appearance of many new makes of talking machines is that patients held by the older companies have expired and can not be renewed. No less than fourteen new talking machines have been put on the market during the past few months.

One of the older cofripanies made an offer of $50,000 to an inventor for the patent to his soundbox, an important feature of a talking machine.

These ten years Montgomery and Stone have easily held the distinction of being the most versatile and best liked fun-makers, clowns and grotesques on the American stage. Exceptional and engaging personalities have undoubtedly had much to do with their success, but without their comic invention and resource, their agility in the dance, their talents as acrobats and mimics, their unflagging flair for novel grotesquerie, they could never have risen to the unique place that they now occupy in our theatre.

While they are still in their earlier forties, it has brought them note of an enviable kind and yielded them fortunes upon which, if real enjoyment of life did not seem to them inseparable from the footlights, they might retire in assured affuence. As is happens also, their gradual advance and especially Mr. Stone'? toward their present eminence, has been plentiful in amusing incident and adventure. Fred Stone was born at Valmont in Colorado in 1873, but his family soon removed eastward to Wellington in Kansas. He was barely eight years old when he was first seized with the desire to become a circus performer which is a part of the secret yearnings of every ambitious youth.

About this time a mountebank ropewalker had appeared in the village and given a performance in the street. A few spangles dropped from his costume, and Fred, who was on hand for the show, eagerly gathered them up, He took them home to his mother, who sewed them on an old pair of red-flannel drawers. With this preliminary equipment the boy and his younger brother Edward started to train for a career in the air on a rope in the yard stretched from the house to the top of the back fence. But let Mr. Stone tell thte story of his first circus adventure.

"I guess must have been a pretty handy kid, and I also was very lucky in having a father who was indulgent enough to allow his children, to do about as they wanted to. Well, it was not very long before I could stick on that rope out in our back yard. So, with the help of some of the neighbors', boys, I made a set of 'jacks' and stretched a longer rope higher above the ground. Pretty soon ray brother and I felt as much at Rome on it as if we were walking on (Continued on Page 5) BIG SATURDAY SPECIAL Ladies, here is your opportunitylto get yourself a Crepe de Chene, a Silk, Plaid or a Georgette Crepe Waist at a Big Discount.

The Hughes Candidacy asks the Iola Register, "does the Gazette know about Hughes, that the Gazette should presume he will be a progressive Republican if nominated?" And William Allen White makes answer. This: That every moss-covered stand-natter in the country is against Hughes; That when he was in the governor office every barnacle, old or young, big or little, opposed Hughes and all his works.

That when President Taft appointed Hughes to the supreme bench, Taft wrote a letter saying that he appointed Hughes fearing: that he 'would be a candidate for the Republi-rcan nomination for President. And the crowd that was back of Hughes in 1911 is the same crowd that is back of him today.
