the reason that he did not have the genius
for large affairs requiring broad executive
skill and foresight. Internal Revenue
Commissioner Raum resigned, and it was
given out that he was to be favored with an
immensely valuable business in prosecut-
ing claims against the government. But
no business comes to him and no one
seems likely to employ him. These are
two disappointed and disgusted men,
These are two notable instances
of men who were conspicuous while in the
govern ment employ, and from their high
positions looked down on common men.
Putting an entirely fctious value upon
themselves, they ascertained when they
offered their services in other than public
stations, that they had no commanding
rank, and that their pursuit of mere rou-
tine duties had left them with very frail
esteem among real men of grasp and
business. The glare and glitter of official
life and its emoluments are tempting, but
when the butterfly days are over the end
has come.
'The fellow at the ladders top, to him all glory
goes;
And the fellow at the bottom is the fellow nc

Nobody cares how high you've been when once

Taken In and Cared For,

A wanderer from Winnipeg whose name
was not given, sought the police on Sun
day with information that he had beer
doue out of large sum of money, by the
seductive baker who excels in the bogus
check racket. He stated that during that
day, as he was lounging about the city he
made the acquaintance of a young man
claiming to hail from the Dominion, who
had goods IN bond here that he desired to
release in time to leave by the evening
train for the north. So plausible we're his
statements that he charmed the old man
into advancing him large sum of money
upon what appeared to be genuine
check upon one of the Winnipeg banks.
Having obtained possession of the money
he disappeared leaving the unsophisticated
old gentleman holding the bag until he
could snoo the game into capture. No
arrests were made, and from the imperfect
description of the sneak furnished, it j.
doubtful if there will be any.

are all portrayed in the most complete
manner by the master of weird music.
Mr.. Remmertz' delivery of the prayer was
most impressive, his rich full voice telling
majestically. Mrs. Aliens Elsa was beau
tifully sung. The music of the part is very
difficult and requires thorough conception
of true artist to render it. Mr.. Har-
vey's Lohengrin, was well sung. This
gentleman is thoroughly conscientious
artist and does what he undertakes ad-
mlrably. The chorus sustained its part
we'll, the voices being we'll balanced, and
the grand finale was given with vim that
made the hall ring, the creceudo being
well worked up.
Thus ended the first concert of the festi-
val, and a larger Or more delighted audi
ence never left the Market hall, hungry for
the performance of Tuesday, for both
the matinee and evening performance.

jest among those vino care to give any at

his poor breeding by addressing a sneer-

official escort to and from his lecture hall.
