paderewski as IA Hard Worker.

To be a pet Of the public sometimes
has its disadvantages. NJ Paderewski,
for instance, keeps up his reputation only
at the cost of tremendous efforts. To
an interviewer for Black and White he
has confded the fact that he practices
at the piano often for Is or 10 hours
day. Once, in New Y ork, he had to work
up eight entirely distinct programmes in
little over as many days, and then it was
a case Of II hours practice daily. One
must always be at it, he explains, to
keep the fingers right and the memory
active. The work is certainly firing,
and M. Paderewski considers that play
ing billiards. game he is very fond of
has saved his life by affording him the
necessary relief from his arduous work.
Those crashing blows of his on the
piano are not, as some might imagine,
made with the closed fist. Sometimes
they are done with the third finger stiff
ened out, sometimes with the thumb
sideways. He seems to see nothing won
derful in the effect produced, although
his hands are so delicate that an ordi-
narily firm shake makes him vince. 1t
is true that he has forearm such as n

Joined local gymnasium not long ago,
and after watching the members once or
twice going through their exercises came
away with the feeling that he was full
fedged athlete. Walking on East Court
street alongside of the Jail. he espied two
women ahead of him walking abreast
and carrying a basket Of freshly washed
clothes between them. The street being
narrow at this point. they took up the
full width. The young man, being in a
hurry, thought he could save time by
jumping over the basket, but his calcu-
lation was not acute enough, and he
kicked some of the wash off. After
walking few steps he turned around to
ascertain the result of his maneuver and
was just in time to see an umbrella
hurled at him by the unerring aim of an
enraged woman. He tried to dodge, but
was too slow.-Cincinnati Commercial

ops sudden nervous cough that strikes
such terror to the good mans heart that
he willingly hands over his pocketbook
and wishes it held more.
Then he gets several ecstatic little
hugs and an extra nice dinner, and the
next day the blessed little woman goes
for her cloak? Oh, no! She goes to see
all her friends and finds out if she can
what they have, and then she goes
to all the stores and tries on and has
tried on the patient girls, whose pretty
figures set off the cloaks 80 well, and
then after she has seen them all she
goes home with q headache and thinks it
all over for q couple of days. Then she
sets her pretty lips tightly and goes di-
rectly to one store, finds one cloak or
whatever it is, if it has not been sold,
pays her money and goes home trium-
plant
What does she not have passed before
her eager eyes? She looks at the mag
niticent long carriage mantles, with
their superb Innings and trimmings. She
has displayed all the evening wraps,
though well she knows that for her use
no white and gold brocades with ermine
and feather garnets are needed. But it
is nice to be able to put them on and see
herself in them before the long glass.
She tries the splendid velvet capes, the
plush capes, the fur capes and the wool
en- and silk ones. None of these suits
her, however, and she at last reaches
the coats with little sigh of resigna-
ton, as all her previous business of try
ing on was but the skirmish before the
real battle.
They bring her piles Of coats-blue

fronts, and full fiuted skirts in the back,

skirt umbrella form cut separate and
sewed to the waist, with severe tailor
stitching, or elaborately trimmed with
fur bindings and velvet collars and
capes. Some are of kersey, in light bis
cult and tan, some black, some snuff
brown and many green. Some have
deep rundown collars cut in sections
and sewed together in such way that
they "spring" upward and outward in
the most aggressive manner.
Others have worth collars, which set
up 30 high around the neck and fare SO
remarkably around the shoulder part
that they make the pretty wearer look
as if her head was served up on platter.
The worth collars are braided, stitched
or fur bordered. Then there are the fat
collars, with their lapel points and um-

wants, and none other. 1t is snuff brown
beaver cloth, thick and rich. It has
pockets on the sides with square lids
neatly stitched. The big gigot sleeves
have stitched cuffs, and there is lovely
"stole collar" beautifully braided down
the front and around the plated back.
The rundown collar and the fronts
have bindings of real beaver, and it is no
wonder that sweet and serene smile of
perfect peace settled down on the anx-
sous face as she left the store, conscious
of the envious glances Of all the other
women, who forthwith grow discomfort
ed and proceed to elevate their pretty
little noses at her.
The fact remains that the Jacket and
coats of wool and silk are going to be
very popular, and the capes of fur and
velvet equally so, and for dress occa-
sions more desirable, though the coats
are so elegant that there is scarcely any
occasion when they cannot be worn, day
or evening, except balls and opera.

by 5 or wide, leads upward, with many
windings and occasional pauses. The
snow is foot or more deep, and there
are thickets to be passed and fallen logs
to be scaled.
AS one sign and. another show the trail
to be hot, the excitement of guide and
hunter increases. The guide now adj
vances warily, lest the game catch scent
of the pursuers and make off. No hunt
er, whether mounted or on foot, could
easily overtake grizzly on smooth, level
ground, and the bear can distance any
pursuer on the rough mountain sides. If
the waddling. shaggy mass be discovered
in the timber ahead, the hunter must
take his first opportunity to inflict fatal
wound, and if the ball fails of reaching
vital spot he must be ready to pour in
his lead as rapidly as possibly.
Old grizzly hunters like to plant ball
in the center of the enemys forehead,
behind one or the other shoulder. or d.
rectly in the breast. The breast shot or
the shoulder shot is likely to reach the
heart. The forehead shot penetrates the
brain if the ball be not DETECTED. Any
one of these is likely instantly to disable
the bear. Almost any other wound acts
as mere irritant, and q retreating
grizzly will often turn upon the hunter
when enraged by the pain of q slight
wound. If by any accident the hunter
be unprepared to follow up his shot he
must lose no time in climbing a tree.
and his choice must light upon one so
small that the bear cannot climb it, and
so large that he cannot shake down the
hunter like ripe apple One comes
across dozens of trees bearing the marks
of the griZZly's claws, where for reasons
Of his own he has chosen to climb.
The trail in most instances perhaps
leads to the high, bald top of the noun
tain. There upon the sunny side the
bear lies sleeping on warm dry rock
while his dinner digests, shaggy mon
arch, whose throne overlool1s miles of
splendid wilderness. Tofcreep upon the
sleeping monster and Stay him where he
lies is the business of the hunter, and an
uncommonly awkward business it is,
too-full of danger and wildly exciting
The slain grizzly seems if possible, larger
and shaggier than in life, his rough coat
still warm and his wounds still bleeding
The guides first business when the
game is really slain is to skin him, task
that he performs with neatness and dis
patch. The greatest care is taken in
this, because the pelt is worth often
quite 5000. If it be possible to fetch a
horse by any detour within easy dis
lance of the peak, the bears carcass is
cut up for the sake of the meat. The
grizzly at this season, just before the
alternating period, is fatter than at any
other time, and his hams are excellent
food. In any case, the pelt is carried off,
and the hunters reach home as tired
mortals as ever longed for bed and shell
ter. but triumphant at the thought of
having conquered the fercest beast in
all the western hemisphere.
