The Latest Musical Freak That Has
Captured the Public.

The Latest Musical Freak That Has
Captured the Public.
The popular taste - regards music
is peculiar. no, to say freakish. The
air that 10 all the rage one day may be
greeted with howls of derision and
cries of "chesnut" the next. Some
obscure individual who has been
va,nly striving oil his life TO please
the public, writes . song no better
aud no worse than those he has
written before or will write again and
straightway it is seized upon and sung
from one end Of the world to the
other. Examples of this sort are COM
mon; take, for instance, "Annie
Rooney" "Down Went McGinty,"
"Whoa, Emma" "Sweet Violets," or
"Comrades." Sooner or later, how.
ever, they are "sung Out" a. the ex'
preston is, aud die as quickly ~ they
were born.
Every once in while, however, =
catching air gets started ON its travels
that seems exempt from tho laws gov
erning so-called popular music" and
it becomes part of the musical bis-
tory OF the world.
Some eight or ten years ago song
appeared, apparently simultaneously
in different parts OF the world, that ia
a. popular to-day ~ it ever was and
gives every promise of continuing to
please. 1t bears the somewhat re-
markable title Of "Johnny Get Yous
! Gum" and it is . ssfe assertion to
make that there is hardly . civilized
person on the globe who il unfamiliar
with it.
Concerning its origin there are q
, hundred stories, none Of them authen.
tic. Some say that an Italian opera
troupe brought it from South America.
, where it had been known for years.
, Others claim that it is simply para
phrase Of the old negro melody. the
"Arkansaw Traveller" and others
affirm that it is part of Russian
battle song. But tho fact remains
the same that whatever it sprung from
il is here now and here to stay.
Within the last eight or nine
months . new air has sprung into
prominence that bids fair to have Is
: enduring popularity as the warlike
. advice given to the mythical Johnny
. with reference to providing himself
with a weapon.
Where it came from is as much of
: a mystery as the origin OF "Johnny

more cities than ever claimed to be

ENNUI OF OFFICERS.

Men to Be Worth Anything Must Vary
Employment With Enjoyment.
Abiding to one or two conspicuous
recent instances. the New York World
says: s-.~
Neither neuralgia nor drink nor in
sanity nor debt is necessary to make
United States army officer feel like
committing suicide. Slow promotion
and lack OF occupation causes many
an ambitious man to occasionally won
der if life is worth living. Neverthe-
less very few undertake to decide
practically that it is not.
Nothing is easier to demonstrate
than that men who are worth any,
thing at all must sometimes vary
either their employment or their en-
Joyment. The profession OF arms
opens up the most glorious possibili-
) ties in times of war; especially in the
service of nation which is as we'll
calculated to take care of itself as the
United States. But it may prove ex-
ceedingly lonesome as it is GER
tainly monotonous in times of
peace in a country like this
where the arts of peace
are always to the fore, except in the
very heat of conflict. In Germany, on
the contrary, these hypochondriacs
would be the jolliest of fellows having
men whom they could command al
most absolutely and having for their
imperial master a young fellow who
may not correctly understand the first
principles of campaigning. but who
loves military reviews better than he
loves even the empress and his chill
dren, and almost as well as he loves
his all-important self.
In other armies in Europe also the
Jaded. lonesome American officer
turned European could reflect that
millions were toiling and delving for
him. Here he sees hundreds of thou
sand coming money and getting cart
loads of enjoyment while he lives off
OF reveille and taps. But save for the
few, thus Inconvenience it is all right.
A commercial nation, easily mobiliz-
able does not need to initiate totter-
ing despotism in turning its brave Of
Ulcers and men into mere janizaries.

HERE'S A RARE VIOLIN.

1t Antedates the Declaration of indie
pendence and Has History.
Probably one of the Oldest and:
most valuable violins to be found on.
Long Island is owned by Prof George
Hewmann. the well-known musician.
whose country residence is in the
picturesque north side village of
Huntington. says the New York Ad-
yertiser The instrument is of Italian
make and MIR. Hewmann thinks it is
the only one of its make in this coun-~
try. !,
According to the stamp on the in--
side of the top of the instrument it
was made by David Tichler in 1907.
The present owner of the violin
bought it from friend named Horatio,
Benson, whose home was at Syosett.
l.. l., in 1861. Mr. Benson was a tai
ented musician and played in theaters,
in this city after coming to this coun-
try in 1900. Benson sought seclusion
at Soysett in his old age and while he
was there Mr. Hewmann came into
possession of the violin.
Soon after receiving the Instrument
from Benson Mr. Hewmann sent it to-
Strodel, in this city, to be repaired.
1t was not until then that the fact of
its ancient manufacture became known
to It's owner. for on taking it apart
Strodel found the makers name on
the inside inscribed in quaint Roman
letters and the year 1867. .....
MIR: Hewmann has often received
f1attcrlng offers for his violin. Not
only have these offers come from,
curiosity hunters. but from some of
the leading musicians of the present
day. ~. .s .~
The instrument is indeed a hand
some one and possesses tone of rare
richness, being fairly loud but entire
~ devoid Of harshness. The sweet
strains Of the old instrument have
been heard on both continents and in
nearly every city in the old and new
worlo.

of Fontainebleau, whore she was stay-
ing at the time, and which had been
placed at her disposal by the French
king. Summoning the marquis to her
presence in the Galerle de Cerfs she
displayed to his mortified gaze whole
bundle OF letters which he had adj
dressed to his lady love at Rome. and
which she, the queen had intercepted.
Only priest Father lie Bel. and three
OF her Swedish male attendants were
present during the interview, the de-
movement of which Browning de-
scribes as follows putting the words
in the mouth of Christina:
Friends, my four.
You Priest. confess him!

Excuse my sentence! Care
For no mail such towards wear!
Done, Priest? Then absolve and bless
him!
Now--you three, stab thick and fast.
Deep and deeper! Dead at last?
Ihanks, frlends--Father, thanks Aghast!
Monaldeschi's body lies in the parish
church at Avon, the village on the
east side Of the park of Fontainebleau,
and there, near the font of holy
water, marble slab in the pavement
marks the grave Of this victim of the
laws of lese majestic.
No attempt was made to keep the
matter secret nor did Queen Christina
incur any remonstrances from the
French government She was not
considered to have exceeded the limit
OF her royal prerogatives, and the
private execution of the marquis in
her presence. was held to have been
entirely justified.

The jingle bell had sounded and the
ferry boat had just cleared the slip
when the woman commenced singing
IN rather melodious voice The
passengers ceased talking and those
who were reading dropped their
papers and all eyes centered on the
demure little woman, who evidently
intended making an appeal to the
charitable.
The man who came into the cabin

ask for aims" The woman had
stopped singing and was now looking
lnnocently at the man and the deck
hand
From two or three passengers came
the cry of 'shamer' but the man
whose nerves were so shaken by the
woman's voice. and who wanted the
rules enforced, seemed to pay no at
tention to the remarks until the
woman addressed him.

THE FIRST "HUMAN OSTRICH
His Extraordinary Capacity to De-
your Anything Within His Reach.

His Extraordinary Capacity to De-
your Anything Within His Reach.
The first case ON record OF a human
being Unfortunately devouring
everything that came within his reach,
says the St. Louis Republic, is that of
the French boy Tarare, who first gave
an exhibition of the capacity and
strength OF his stomach by eating a
full peck OF carrots and seven bars of
soap with apparent relish OF course
he was not always q boy and as he
grew up the, freak;sh antics of his
stomach took many varied twists.
on one occasion, when a DRUGGISTS
back was turned, Tarare hastily swal-
lowed a couple OF dozen of corks of all
sizes. At last, his stomach being full
of such indieestible matter, he he came
the victim OF violent attacks OF collie
and was finally compelled to seek the
advice OF NJ. Girard of Hotel Dieu.
Glrard called a council OF physicians
and Tarare' s case was thorough
~ discussed. They tried to ex-
explain to the man what would
be the outcome of such per-
formances, but were greatly
surprised, II not angered and chagrin-
ed, to find that he had actually
swallowed a watch-chain, seals and
all, besides a bunch OF seven keys, and
a glove hook which were on ali ivorv
ring nea'l y two inches in diameter
all this while the learned gentlemen
were lecturing him! At the time of
this examination he regularly ate
twenty-four pounds OF beef day, be-
sides other victuals in proportionate
quantities. He now entered the
French army, being first attached to
the Ninth regiment of Hussars, Mai.
Courville retaining him as freak.
He was daily allowed the regular ra
tons OF three men and the right to
the refuse scraps and other pickings.
When on the march he would catch
cells and serpents and swallow them
whole. On one occasion he ate a cat
bones, fur, and all-and was noticed
to reject the hair and other indigesti-
bles within the course of half an hour,
the process being similar to that
which carnivorous animals undergo.
Col. Marpel and Gen. Beauharris
both make affidavit that they saw him
eat thirty pounds of liver at one sit
ting, and others declare that he once
ate a l4-mOnth-Old child.
