M~odjesisa's Opinion of nilsson and
Patti

I"Mhry Jane in Courier j Journal
Then we talked of Patti and Nilsson.
(which do you like betterT' asked Dickey.
"Oh, Patti, by all means She is the great
eat artist Of all.n
But Nilsson has more heart,n said ]: and
her ballad singing can move u multitude,
where PATHS best efforts would pass un-
needed
THAT Is mot art, y replied Madame; land
It Is Fstt's art which cha=l;=. ! heard her
lr London from a seat high up, and, while
all the other voices seemed to come from the
singers throats, PATHS came down from
above like an angels voice. That is heaven"
and she threw herself back in her chair with
the abandon Of an artist enraptured over II
fancy beyond naturalization.
Patti can't sing Home. Sweet Home ~
said l, and TO an American no air is more
touching-no music sweeter."
NO. replied she, ''but Patti is not to
blamef for that. She never had a hOme-she
doesn't know what It is; and how could she
put into hsr song the expression Of an exps
rience' she never hadfn
Isn't the highest art said Dickey, ''the
art which is made up OF art and s%entimentr'
81 think not" replied the countess. "Sen.
timent is from the heart and is not apt to
color the reason by feeling. Art as ART IL to
be judged critically by received standards OF
the best taste and judgment, in all ages, and
while sentiment may beautify It in certain
ways, 1t really does not make IL better art, II
| may so speak"
81 like Nilsson worry much" remarked the
count, land | can understand why Ameri-
cans admire her as they do. Patti is an
Italian, her music Is OF the SOUTH, and she is
popular beyond all others In her own land.
Patti is full OF passion of the stronger sort,
and she appeals to the warm blood Of the
southern latitude, Nilsson is Of the north,
fun Of feeling-passion we may call it-but it
is the quiet, persuasive passion OF homo and
family, and when she sings the tender ballads
OF love and home among you northern people
she at once finds audiences who appreciate
and love her. | hardly thipt it is fair TO
judge them together, as there is 40 much
more than mere art Judgment can compre-
hend and decide upon.n

Funny yerdIctsL

l have Deen gathering up instances of
funny verdicts for several years. In my
memorandum book l find the following:
A Kansas jury gave the following verdict
in a case where a man died in a state of in
toxicatiou: death by hanging-round a
rum shop"
An Indiana jury recently returned a writ

A Rhode Island jury were five days do
batting on a hog case involving 81, and then
came in, found the hog not guilty, and
recommended both plaintiff and defendant
to the mercy of the court.
A Pekin, Ill, coroner's jury rendered a

his best is concerning IN old colored preacher

devout Of his own race without the aid of

recently he hailed him with

AFTER VICTOR HUGO.
A Dog Fight as Viewed from a
Heroic Standpoint

lfen ana freSS-l
What Is a bulldogI
1t Is a monster that Transforms itself into
a machine. 1t Is a battering ram. 1t is the
entrance Of matter into Liberty. Il is II
mad mass with the bounds Of a tiger, tho
stealthiness of a mouse, the ~obstinacy OF an
OK, the unexpectedness of the surf, the
rapidity of lightning. the deafness Of the
tomb. 1t weighs forty or fifty pounds, yet
it rebounds like a child's ball. Its attack
is a wild whlrl abruptly cut at right angles.
The tempest ceases, the cyclone passes,
the wind falls, the broken mast IS replaced,
the leak Is stopped, the fire dies out, but the
bulldog never lets 60.
He has more t~enacity than a Stockton bill
collector.
He is Old Tenacity itself.
CHAPTER II.
You can make a mastiff hear reason,
astound the bull. fascinats the boar, frighten
the tiger, soften the lion, but there is no way
OF Outstanding the bulldog.
You cannot kill him. He is dead. and at
the same time no lives He lives with a
sinister life bestowed upon him by Infnity.
CHAPTER III.
The dogs were let loose. Loosef They
were let fast There was a cloud of sawdust,
a mufied roar, and Grip had Tug by the
throat.
Two dozen shouted SBrayo"
One OF the canHille recklessly threw his hat
Into the air, and exclaimed: "Long live the
%republicl'
He was seized upon and thrown down
stairs.
The unfortunate man had committed two
offenses. He had broken the peace of "a dog
fight, and had insulted the Democrats.
But still the dogs held ON. Grip tugged at
Tug. Tug gripped at Grip. The red blood
dainpened the sawdust and smoked aggres-
sively.
CHAPTER ~.
DO you believe In the Devil, Chevalierl-
asked Mike Mccarthy OF Mike Mulroousy.
YES. No. Sometimes.p
In a tempestr
"No.r
sin a dog hghtfn
"Yes; In moments like this"
"Tben only the Devil can save Tugr"
Tug writhed in the cast-iron grip like a
soul in despair. A SOUL Strange thing You
would not have thought that a bulldog had
one-a soul full Of hatred, and that there was
cunning in that smoking, bristling, steaming
mass of dog flesh.
Neither would let go.
Suddenly a noise was heard at tue door.
Two commissioners of police entered with
drawn clubs and cloves on their breath.
The crowd fed terror-stricken before the
majesty OF the law.
CHAPTER v.
A pebble may stop IA log; a tree branch
may turn the avalanche, and the police can
stop a dog fight.
The Pigmy had taken the Thunderbolt
prisoner.
Mccarthy approached the first officer.
"Sir, you have saved my dogs life"
The old mar resumed his impossible attL.
tude and did not reply.

When the Holiday was OutIawed.

Harpers maRazine.l
In June, 1917, the parliament abolished the
observance of saints days and "the three
grand festivals of Christmas, Easter, and
Whitsuntide, "any law, statute, custom, con-
stitution, or canon to the contrary in any wise
notwithstanding" The king protested. But
he was answered. In London, nevertheless,
there wa an alarming disposition to observe
Christmas. The mob attacked those who by
opening their shops houted the idea. In SOW
eral counties the disorder was threatening.
But parliament took strong measures, and
during the twelve years in which the great
festivals were discountenanced there was no
further tumult, and the observance of Christ
land also the insidious advances Of Satan were
strenuously resisted.
At last the formal blow fell, and Christ
mas had no longer a legal home either in
Old or New England. In 1853 the general
court of Massachusetts enacted that " any
body who is found Observing, by abstinence
from labor, feasting, or any other way, any
such day as Christmas day, shall pay for
every such offense five shillings.n And
Peters, the old historian Of Connecticut, who
did not love the Puritans, and who had a
malicious wit, says that one Of the blue laws
of Connecticut forbade reading Common
Prayer, keeping Christmas or saints' days,
making minced pies, dancing, playing cards,
or playing on any instrument OF music, ex-
cept the drum, trumpet and Jews harp. So
Christmas, which the Plymouth Pilgrims had
silently condemned, old Christmas, the cheer
full personifcation In English tradition of
charity and universal good feeling, of blame
less gayety and religious joy, was outlawed
in New England.

poorly dressed and evidently hard up, and
