MARCELLA SEMBRICH Says as She Takes Leave of Grand Opera, The Singer, Not the Music, Counts Violinist Hartmann Draws Inspiration From Pillow Full of Torn Manuscripts What play at Patterson VOL. 25. NO. 9. MARCELLA as She Tak The Sin BY SYLVESTER RAWLING. My greatest joy, as I take my leave of the opera stage in America, is the consciousness that it is love for Marcella, the woman, even more than admiration for Sembrich, the artist, that makes your great, big, generous public so sorry to pathetic the art and her personality. There have been other great singers in the period, worthy rivals of hers in many particulars, but now she has closed to us such complete mastery of the art of singing. Readers of this article who have had the privilege within a fortnight of seeing her arch and pliant and youthful Susanne in "The Marriage of Fiancee Maude" in "La Bohème," her moving Violette in "La Traviata," with the lusciousness of her voice unimpaired, must wonder why she has elected to retire now. You shall be told presently in her own words. Her Two Farewells There is to be an official farewell to Mine, Sembrich upon the stage of the Metropolitan opera house after the performance tonight (subsequently she was given a private hotel) and one of a more intimate nature at a dinner to be given in her honor by composers, musicians and writers about music, with their wives, the actor tomorrow. In this little chat with her, she expresses, probably, the substance of what she may say at either or both of these functions. Sembrich had only just returned from austurizing rehearsal of night's program when the writer called upon her at the Hotel Savoy. It was late in the afternoon, but the sky across Central Park, which her apartments from the hotel, showed with light. She was very tired, and added, but would not hear of postponing our little chat. It was not at once that she made the remark quoted in the beginning of the article, but as it was the thought apposmont in her mind it may as well stand for a leader of the conversation. Tears and Smiles. "It overwhelms me," she continued, "as I stand before my farewell audiences, this feeling of how sorry they are, just for my alone. That I am helpful, piness to me, but it makes the leave-taking all the more sorrowful an event. I find my tears very close to my smiles. I find the concert last Sunday night, as the concert was so great, could feel nothing else but the sweet note of personal appreciation that was nearing out upon me. It was the same on Sunday night when I was Mimi. It was the same on Saturday night, I know. It is no light thing to tear myself away from associations twenty-five years. America for long has seemed to me the first. I was friendly to me from the first. It was supported me faithfully throughout my artistic career. Some of my very dearest and best friends are here. The one is most appreciative and kind to me. Why, then, do I go away, you ask?" Into the Future. There was a minute's pause as the Violinist Hart BY ETHEL LLOYD PATTERSON. The most interesting thing about Arthur Hartmann, the Hungarian violinist, is his pillow. There are plenty of other things—his habitats and his hair Hatland, of poure's his tailor—some call it genius—but almost any one would give the pillow precedence. But, then, if we are to believe Mr. Hartmann, the pillow is really responsible for everything except the hair cut. Mr. Hartmann did not want to tell about the pillow. He hates publicity and he fears lack of comprehension from the gross unmusical mind. Besides he was saving the history of the pillow until he was a really great man. Then he was going to say: "Behold the pillow done it! But Mr. Hartmann is too modest. Even now he is great, and therefore the hour of disclosure for the pillow plot has struck. "In my pillow, upon which I lay my head nightly, are Tschalkowsky, Grieg, Brahms, MacDowell, Liszt and Weinlawski" confusingly explained Mr. Hartmann then; Mr. I see you do not understand; I will make it plain to you, but to do so we will have to go back to my father."

During these days he bought and gave to him many manuscripts of famous musicians. "By the time I was three years old, I had expressed a fondness for the violin and continued Mr. Hartmann, "and had been commended to play it little. My musical proclivities pleased my father immensely. When I was eighteen he presented to me his collection of musicians manuscripts. I treasured them greatly. For several years Mr. were locked up in an old Egyptian casket. I added to them when I could, although I did not buy any manuscript. I waited until they were presented to me. "Now comes the strange part of my story," said Mr. Hartmann, lowering his voice. "The Egyptian casket I always kept near my bed. Often when I dreamed that strange strains of music came from it. When I awoke they would still be ringing in my ears. They were the basis for many of my early compositions. To me what finally prompted me to destroy these manuscripts.

Your modern composers bother little about voices and instruments, but about situations, upon artistic personalities, upon singing orchestra effects. Singing pure and simple scarcely even now takes place in the scale, and sometimes is it not as low even as fifth or sixth? "When I was a girl, while we were always to act, while personality was always to act, while personality was we were forced to cultivate was singing, singing, singing, first last and all last. We had to go through 'Northern' and 'Tennessee' such works as matter of course, and we worked hard and we studied ceaseance and to learn how to sing properly and were great singers all about us. There were glorious traditions behind us, we were teachers who knew what was necessary for us to do to achieve good singing. Future Inspiration. "Alas! Where shall the coming generation of singers find its inspiration? Your young American girls have to sing properly without study and the knowledge anywhere. They are full of taglines. Their仪仪ations. They could be trained to follow successfully in the footsteps of the greatest singers. It is given to few to sing properly without study and the knowledge anywhere. Patti, for instance, was one of the rarely equipped natural singing birds. To most of us singing is an art that is acquired only by hard work. But it is the immediate future, where shall property trained singers find their place? Maybe there will be a reaction, you say, when we have been wiped out, the teachers will have disappeared, the art will be lost. Learn to sing from the records? Absurd my friend. They reproduce nothing but the effect. They can teach you nothing of the methods by which they were produced. "Do you know, another sweet memory of my parting is the gracious sympathy of the troupilant Opera House company.

He hasn't a violin since, as he did in January, 2007, when some one stole his $0,000 Guarrierius while he was on a train between Houston and Los Angeles. Hartmann admitted today that he is a believer in the Aso-Neith doctrine. He says that he met Mrs. Aso-Neith, as he calls Mrs. Cochran, and she told him of a number of changes that would come into his life. Every one of them arrived in schools that Prior to that he had met her daughter in Berlin. The daughter was his pupil. Mrs. Aso-Neith changed my name for me and designed a charm and success.

STUDYING BEES BACK TO THE CAGE Off the Great Barrier Reef THERE was a sound of lapping water on the seaward side of the trade-house palm, and spike crested palms seemed to offer the blue span of sky overhead. In the east lay Espiyt Santo, with its innumerable jungle-screened inlets and sloping hills. The tip of a young moon with tropic brightness over the distant headland. The trade-house veranda was in darkness. A white-coated German seat-front and lazy, a big-head in the hatchback, and a big-head in the lugger crawl to her moorings across the bay. "Chow at the helm.

Grand Master Martin of the Caucasian Masonic Grand Lodge of the more or less grand old commonwealth of Mississippi, has set seriously about the task of reforming the institution of Freemansory and making it such as it ought to be and must be in order to flourish in that enlightened section of the universe. Grand Master Martin recently discovered that the Caucasian Grand Lodge of New Jersey had, among its subordinate lodges one—Alpha Lodge of Newark—composed of Afro-American members. As Alpha Lodge has existed for nearly a century, intelligent Masons all over the world knew of its existence, but the Mississippi fellow never "hear tell" of such a thing before. And it is fair to presume that his ignorance is sufficiently comprehensive to make him unaware of the fact that the grand lodges of England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Hungary, Mexico, Brazil, Cuba, Jamaica, Porto Rico, Peru and Argentina are in the same attitude as that of New W.

"The idea that the South can afford," said Mr. Taft, "to have the Afro-American transplanted to some other country to me always sounded like a joke. They tried that down in Mississippi, and they were going to move then, not out of the country to Africa, but only across the river, and they had a riot. Of course, that is absurd. "But if the Afro-American would be respected he must make himself worthy of respect. He must cultivate those virtues of providence, of industry, of thrift which will make him respected as a laborer, as a farmer, as a skilled mechanic, as a man contributing to the wealth of the community in which he lives, and without whose aid the accumulation of that wealth is impossible. blood in defense of that flag, and will continue to do so.

Mr. Taft was introduced as "the most popular and conspicuous citizen of the United States, America's greatest statesman, our uncrowned king for whom we wish a successful administration and a second term," by the famous Dr. Walker, known as the "I want to add that I always want to say before an Afro-American audience that you are Americans.

Possibly that is the reason why he did not boycott the whole outfit and thus limit pure masonry to the confines of Mississippi.

KISSING A MENACE TO MORALI TY. Rev. Henry W. Ireland of Mount Gilead, Ohio, in a recent sermon in the Disciple church denounced kissing as a greater curse than intemperance. He says: "The kiss is an intoxicant, and, like the saloon, must go. It is more fruitful of consequences than any alcoholic beverage ever distilled. I think kissing is the worst thing a young woman can do, and the amount of it some of our girls do—of our best families, too—is a menace to morality. "I have carefully inquired into the matter and find that many young girls imagine this is the way to get husbands. It may help some, but kissing is not all that is necessary."

Mr. Taft was introduced as "the most popular and conspicuous citizen of the United States, America's greatest statesman, our uncrowned king, for whom we wish a successful administration and a second term," by the famous Dr. Walker, known as the "Black Surgeon." Dr. Walker pointed a bright present and a brighter future for the Afro-Americans of Georgia, who owned, he said, a million acres of land in the state and paid taxes on $20,000,000 worth of property. This report Mr. Taft regarded as most encouraging. Evidently Rev. Ireland never was treated to the ecstatic bliss of a real "soul kiss." Kissing may be naughty under some circumstances, but under most circumstances it's mighty nice, and like the little brook, will go on forever. The University students at Birmingham, England, proved themselves to be real men, a few days since, in upholding Burns' axiom, "a man's a man for a' that and a' that," in the case of a Negro student. At a local skating rink which was being operated there by an American, who carried his color prejudice with him, an attempt was made to exclude a Negro student of the university. The incident aroused a heated controversy. The Negro's fellow students took up his cause and hired lawyers to oppose the renewal of the rink's license and when the case was called in the court the manager apologized and promised not to make any race distinctions in the future.

THE WIDOW Says That "Luck in Love" Consists in Keeping Out of It The Airship Race Flying Reduced to a Home Game In Which There Is a Lot of Fun. A BY HELEN ROWLAND. "I've just had my fortune told," announced the widow, glancing interestedly at the lines in her small jeweled hand. "Humph!!" remarked the bachelor, "I'd have told your fortune-for nothing! I'm going to marry a nice-looking bachelor with good shoulders and a noble nose—" MARY HARRIS "And a tiny, little bald spot," put in the widow, made a woke up. you're a bad fortune teller, Mr. Travers. "What!" "Well," explained the widow, "you don't want your palm crossed with silver, and you don't wear a pointed cap and a long cap covered with gilt stars and crescents, and you prophesy unlucky things!" "Unlucky things!" exclaimed the bachelor, indignantly. "Don't you consider it real 'luck in love' to be able to marry a charming, intelligent, high-minded person?" broke in the widow, hastily. "Real luck in love consists entirely in keeping out of it!" "Whee-eew!" The bachelor drew a long, long puff at his cigar before replying, "Ah, well!" He mused thoughtfully. The mere fact of marrying me and necessarily indicate that you were in love. "No-o-0," agreed the widow, doubtfully. "After all, that might be real luck—in marriage." "Oh," exclaimed the bachelor, delightfully, "to do whatever." "That is not the point," retorted the widow. "Luck in marriage consists not The Bachelor Drew a Long Puff. The Bachelor Drew a Long Puff. In getting the person who wants you" "Anybody can do that!" declared the bachelor, scornfully. "Anybody can become president!" rejoined the widow. "but most of them never do. Any man can marry a girl who wants him, but he always imagines it. He wants it, but he doesn't want him. He will pass by who doesn't cozy, suitable girls who would give their eyes for the privilege of adoring him and mending his socks, and making life a downy couch for him, and elusive creature whose very distance and indifference constitute her enchantment, and who, even if he succeeds in winning her, merely takes care of her. He keeps a man busy working for her, and waiting for her, and feeling like an object of charity for the rest of his life. Love is a one-sided game; love is more weight there is on one side the idea that the seems on the other. You've merely got to choose which side you weigh in on when it comes to matrimony—whether you prefer giving or taking— Here is an exciting parlor game which will appeal to young and old. It is very easily mastered. Any number of four players join in the game, and the only appearance needed is chair for each player and a clear space in a room. For an example, let us take, twelve players, who can be chosen in some convenient way. These seat themselves on chairs in three rows, and the players lay down in the accompanying illustration from Pearson's Weekly) at the end of the room with their backs to the wall. Each team represents an alrship, which can be given an appropriate name, as Zeppelin, Wright, Farnam, and so on. The players are seated at the back of each other in the knees of the person directly behind. A winning tape should be stretched across the room at the other end. To start the race another person begins to read a short story, and various to this, each alrship has been given a word which means advance and another retreat. Let us suppose the chosen words to be: Advance. Retreat. For the Zeppelin Alrship "The" "On" "Come right up in. Sunboo," the farmer called out. "He won't hurt you. You know a barking dog never blites." "Sure, boss, ah knows, dat," replied the cautious colored man, "but ah don't know how soon he's going to stop barkin'"—Success Magazine. True Prophecy.

"Yes," agreed the widow, laconically moon; but when it comes to deciding who is going to get up and turn on the steam heat and take the milk off the ice, "it's not going to be going to get the tenderest portion of steak and the seat nearest the radiator. It's quite different. Self-sacrifice novels and the abstract; in every day, like it"—rather inconvenient, you see." "No," retorted the bachelor, obstinately, "I don't see why two peo- JACK THE GIAN'T KILLER The Scot Nearest the Radiator ple like us couldn't share the steak and the steam heat and our troubles equally. "Because we aren't built that way," sighed the widow sadly, "Mommymy is a bargain—and somebody has to get the bargain. The other must take the leavings and be satisfied." "Nice world this would be," grumbled the bachelor, bitterly, "if every one took your advice and went about searching for somebody to adore him." "Oh, that never will happen," interrupted the widow, cheerfully, "There always will be plenty of fools and idealists in the world who will cling to the belief that happiness in marriage consists in making a martyr of lambes and plenty of lambs in Wall Street will give the bulls an dbears a chance to make their millions. But there isn't any happiness in marriage," she added sorrowfully, "because you can't be happy with the person whom you love you can't be happy without him!" "Then why not try being happy with somebody who loves you?" suggested the bachelor, eagerly. "I'm willing to weigh in on the wrong side—" "And to take the milk off the dumbwaiter and give you three-quarters of the steak and—" "I don't believe you!" cried the widow, she embeathment. "But, if you were—" I broke in the jacem in the bachelor, excited. "Never!" declared the widow, with a shudder. "I hate to marry a bull or a bear, but I'd prefer even a hyena to—to anything as meek and humble and easy as a lamb—with mint sauce. Besides, she added with conviction. "I want to be a bachelor," returned the bachelor, with a sigh of real relief. All the Same. Hubby—It becomes very trying, my dear, you always says check, check, check.

Thus, on the word "The" Zeppelin advances by the rear player bring his chair directly to the front of his column. On the word "On" Zeppelin retreats by the front player going directly to the rear of his column, and so on with the other airships. If in retreating there is not sufficient room behind that player must leave the race and the machine is considered damaged. It may still go on playing, but is penalized one point for every chair lost. In this way the whole machine may disappear gradually. An airship falling to advance must lose its chance, but all retreats must be made. Another person should act as referee to insure fair advances and retreats. This game cannot be played with fewer than two airships of two chairs apiece. The airship, of course, which reaches the tape first wins the game. Hint for Wise Parents. The Young Man—I wish to thank you, sir, for giving me your assistance in persuading your daughter to marry me. The Old Man—Sir, I was violently opposed to the match.

INAGURATION OF PRESIDENT-ELECT W. H. TAFT. Great preparations are being made by the pro-American citizens of Washington and Boston a great throng of visitors to the inaugural ceremonies, which are being planned on a scale of magnificence never before attempted. The whole city will be illuminated at night during inaugural week, and night will be set aside for the display of books which will excel in splendor anything ever seen before in this country. The citizens of Washington, D. C., have organized for the occasion and have secured Convention hall, the largest in the city, where they will receive and entertain the great throng auxiliary halftime expected. The several mitte on public comfort are authorized to extend invitations to the reception to all Minnesota people who expect to be in Washington on March 5 to the end that they may attend. The guests are admitted on their induction must be provided with a supper ticket and a supper ticket can be obtained through Mr. Daniel Murray (609 F street, N. W., Washington, D. C.) "BUNCO IN ARIZONA." The Next Attraction at the Grand Theater. Love, pathos, treachery, retribution, which is the theme of the main elements of "Bunco in Arizona," a breezy idealic comedy-drama of the far southwest, by Miss Lillian Mortimer, the popular author-actress, which will appear at the Grand for the week of March 28, under the direction of the James L. Veronica Amusement Com- Defective Page company. The story is one of absorbing interest, interpreted by Miss Eugenie Besserer as the star, supported by a first-class company with genuine Indians, cowboys and horses with realistic stage settings and mechanical effects. The play is in four acts and comprises a bright, bright afternoon at Black Creek, with a typical Western saloon, with miners, cowboys and Indians; and exterior of a mine with machinery at the shaft in the midst of the Rockies approached by a wooden bridge across a deep ravine; a wooden cabin with a driad camp and a facsimile reproduction of a typical ranch house. Pilgrim Baptist Church Notes The members and friends are greatly elated, and very justly so, over the phenomenal success of the outcome of their pipe organ rally last Sunday. At the close of the services Sunday night the sum total of $1,508.52 had been paid in in cash and there is quite a neat sum still to be collected. Very much credit is due Mrs. W. Francis, of W. Francis Pipe Organ association has been indebted in her labors. Mrs. Francis' band was the banner one, it having brought in $171.72. Mrs. Corinne Carter's band came next with $149.68. The rest of the money collected was divided between the other bands, the captains of which were Mrs. Addie Marner, Mrs. John Hickman, Mrs. Megan Hart, Mrs. Emma Hood, Mrs. Mae Barkdale, Mrs. Harriet Hall and Mr. John H. Hickman, all of which did vailant work. The big pipe organ, which is to cost $2,200, will be installed before Easter Sunday. There is also an effort being made by young people to place a new hardwood floor in the auditorium. This will make the church the finest Afro-American church in the state. Mrs. R. C. Minor has begun rehearsal special music for Easter, at which time the organ will be dedicated. It is certainly remarkable to note the amount of enthusiasm that has been displayed in this rally, and goes to show that Pilgrim church is composed of widakewake members, for many seem to wake up from their long armies and nurse working for Christ and the church. The members are urged to invite strangers to our services and make them welcome. Rev. W. D. Carter has had a peaceful pastorate of nine years. He is to be commended upon being a man of clean character and a worker for the uplift of his race. When the Christian spirit of the church seemed to lag he has been the means of injecting new life. Remember the prayer meeting on Wednesday night. It is hoped that all the members who have children will send them to the Sunday school. It is hoped that all of our young people will take an interest in the B. Y. P. U. society and be present at 7 o'clock every Sunday evening. Give the strangers within our gates a hearty hand shake and a pleasant smile and you may find him or her in the congregation every Sunday. Don't forget to place something in your envelopes each week, to help keep up the expenses of the church. Every member is urged to do his or her part. There is plenty of church work for each and every member, for the church and for the members are few. Don't wait to be appointed to a place but show a disposition to work for Christ and the church.

There is always a pleasure in the anticipation of the coming of something new for the average theater goer, and next week's attraction at the Star will be "realization week," when the now famous "Ducklings" will present their splendid program for the first time in this city. Absolutely new and refreshing in its entirety is the Ducklings, a magnificent organization, which is at the top class in that form of amusement, numerically and artistically. Two invigorating comic and musical parts of the program are termed "Berrywood's Busy Day" and "Kelly's Dublin," which produce the mammoth company of show singing and dancing girls, comedy experts and the very limit of vaudeville excellence, including Miss Louie Dacre, the Eva Tanguy of burlesque, the Kate Winslet of fright (fresh from foreign trumpets), Halley and McKinnon, black face comedy stars; James Brennan, the German philosopher; Boyle and George, comedy sketches; Miss Marie Dodd, the little electric battery of song, and forty-five musical instruments, the musical equipment, the "Ducklings" is clear to be dazzling throughout. Farmers' Short Course. A Farmers' Short Course will be held at the School of Agriculture at St. Anthony Park for one month commencing Friday, Jan. 15th. The course consists of lectures, demonstrations and one of the few grains. The most practical subjects connected with farm life will be discussed. The course includes nearly all the farm subjects taught at the school of agriculture. No entrance examination is given and there is no age limit. The expenses are low. It is hoped that there may be a large attendance of farmers. Do you smoke the Habit? It's a fine habit. One step won't take you very far, You've got to keep on walking.

Those Recently Made Heavy Enough to Hold Largest Vessels. "If some of the sea worthies could come to earth and get a look at the anchors which were recently turned out in the Charlestown navy yard they would not believe their eyesight," said H. M. Knight of Boston. "Battleships have carry four anchors. These have cast heretofore, but they were liable to break at the wrong time. They were so big, however, that it seemed there was no other way to make them. Finally it was decided to try and forge an anchor of the size needed at the Charlestown navy yard. Accordingly five men were set at work on an anchor which was to weigh 17,600 pounds. The men worked on the anchor a month and then turned out one that stood all the tests and was deemed to be the ones making those anchors in the yard in sets of fours for shipments wherever they are needed. "These anchors will hold the largest battleships afloat unless they are caught in a hurricane. They are immense affairs. They are fifteen feet long from crown to shackle and about nine and a half feet across from point to point. The palms at the arm ends, which get the grip on the bottom, are thirty-two inches wide. Several sets have been shipped to the Pacific coast go to battleships at the stations on that coast." **Storm Left Hawk With One Feather.** Lightning did some queer stunts here during a storm last night, among them the knocking of all but a solitary feather from the body of a snake with strange to relate, still lives to bear mute evidence of the occurrence. The hawk was found under the tree which had been struck the following morning, when the hands on the I. D. Stone farm were inspecting the work of the storm. The bird was barely alive, and stripped of all but the one other presented a sorry appearance. It wore a coat, house and fed and bids fair to recover. Brazil's High Tariff. "Outside of a few cotton factories that are making good headway Brazil has very few infant industries to boast of," said Mr. H. W. Sapp, an American engineer who has lately visited that country. "But in the name of fostering its industries the Brazilian congress has levied enormously high duties on imported goods. I met a fellow American in the State of Sao Paulo who told me that a buggy he brought in from the United States was taxed $240 by the customs officials, although he paid for it here only $85. Cat's Long Journey in a Bureau. A tiny Maltese cat has completed a trip from Holland, Mich., a distance of 2,500 miles, in a drawer of a bureau wrapped in sacking and shipped by slow freight. When freight hands opened the bureau the cat jumped out and although lean and thin from its long trip without food or water was apparently as good as ever and displayed a keen appetite. Little Margaret and her mother, while out walking, approached a particularly filthy and bearded organ grinder with his monkey, and her mother gave her a penny to bestow on the unfortunate animal. She hesitated a moment before presenting her alms, then gravely asked: "Shall I give it to the monkey or to his father?" Rhinoceros Blood a Cure AI The blood of the rhinoceros is very highly esteemed by Burmese and Chinese as a medicine for all kinds of ailments. Whenever a party of hunters are successful in shooting a rhinoceros—they are less numerous than they used to be—the native beaters carefully draw off the blood and bring it to the water in hollow bamboos. The precious liquid is worth its weight in silver. Trouble Ahead "On my husband's birthdays," remarked the club woman, "I always stay at home and make him a cake. And he appreciates them." "I'm sure he does, says the home manager. "He says to my husband that he regards your birthday cakes as milestones along his married life." Birds of a Feather "Cabby, make your horse go a little quicker." "Impossible; I am a member of the Society for the Protection of animals."

C. 8692 To Afford Opportunity for Adoration of Statesman's Spirit. A singular incident has happened at the city of Lu Chou Fu, a famous spot 140 miles up the Yangtse from Nanking. This important city was the home of the celebrated Li Hung Chang, whose visit to Europe and then to America created such great interest a few years since. Within its walls is a fine school, to which is attached a great hospital, both built with funds left by him for the purpose. By the side of these two establishments now stands a new and splendid temple, one of the finest ever erected in China. It has been built in accordance with the universal custom of ancestor worshi, but further in order to afford opportunity for the adoration of the spirit of the great statesman, not only by his own relatives but by the public generally. Li Hung Chang has been added to the countless gods in the Chinese pantheon. This temple is 400 feet long and 75 feet wide. A series of open courts, surrounded by columns, lead back to the sanctuary. The cost of the structure was £40,000. But the tomb of Li Huang Chang is not here, for he was buried five miles away from the city, and close by the sepulchre is another fine ancestral temple. A few miles still further on is yet another large temple belonging to another branch of the same immensely wealthy family. It is said that the several branches of the family have at least a quarter of a million sterling invested in ancestral temples. They own two-thirds of the land twenty-five miles east of the city. A Complication. Two Irishman were telling conundrums one day, and when their supply ran out Pat suggested that they make some up. "Allright," said Mike. "Phwhat is it that goes around a barnyard in feathers and on two legs and barking like a dog?" "My, that's not. I give it up," answered Pat, after some moments of thinking. "Phwhat's the answer?" "A chicken!" "My, that's fine; but howd the barking of a dog get in there?" inquired Pat. "Oh, I just put that in to make it harder." For a Siberian Canal. The construction of a huge new waterway across Siberia, nearly parallel with the course of the Trans-Siberian railway, is projected in Russia. It is proposed to connect five great Siberian rivers—the Tobol, Ishim, Irlsh, Ob and Yenlessei—the other less important streams, by canals or light railways, and with a view to this the Russian government has ordered extensive surveys to be taken. Real Ambition. "Now, mind," said the billionaire to his daughter, "if I take you abroad this summer, you're not to go and engage yourself to one of those dukes or earls that'll be hanging about you like flies about a honey pot." "No, father." "No," said the old gentleman. "We'll just mosey round a bit till we find some king or emperor in reduced circumstances." Absent-Mindedness. Rufus Choose once endeavored to make a witness give an illustration of absent-mindedness. "Wal," said the witness cautiously, "I should say that a man who thought he'd left his watch to hum, an' took it out'n his pocket to see if he had time to go hum to get it' I should say that that feller was a leetle absent-minded." More Important. Two village worries were discuss- ing a mooted point in grammar, as to whether a hen "sits" or "sets" when she takes to her nest. "Seems to me it's a heap more important," interrupted a bystanding farmer, "whether she 'lays' or 'lies' when she cackles." Not So Wonderful "My grandfather," said the new neighbor, who was making a duty call, "was a great portrait painter. With one stroke of his brush he could change a smiling face into a sad one." "Huh!" exclaimed small Johnny, who happened to be in the parlor. "Our teacher can do that." Exactly Like Her Artist—Your wife ordered this portrait from me. Rockford—She did, eh? Well, it certainly is very much like her. Did she pay for it? Artist—No, sir. Rockford—Ab, that is still more like her. He Made Good. Trotter—When young Biffkins left college a few years ago he declared he was going to forge his way to the front. Did he make good? Homer—As a forger, yes. He's now occupying a front row cell in the penitentiary." Backhand Stroke. Miss Peachblow—"O, not always. If it wasn't for my chaperon some men would hang around me all day." Rather Rapid. "Was his auto going so very fast?" "Your honor, it was going so fast that the bulldog on the seat beside him looked like a dachhund." Minnesota Steam Laundry 314 MINNESOTA ST.
