THERE is trouble ahead for t

THERE is trouble ahead for the
musical critics. Don Fernando Diaz
de Mendoza, grandee Of Spain, is
about to adopt the stage as profess
sion. Don Fernando, etc, is not only
as blue blooded as dog-show cham
pion, but he Is extremely sensitive to
criticism. He shoots with both hands
and upon the slightest provocation.
A hint that he flatted on high G or
that he parted company with the key
at any time during the performance
of an opera would be sufficient to
send Don Fernando around the news
paper offices with pair of six-shoot-
ers and belt full of cartridges 1t
is somewhat reassuring t. know,
however, that he is not particular
ly accurate marksman, having shot
at his antagonist In his latest duel
twenty-five times without scoring
hit. Unless he improves In this re-
spect he could not hope to meet the
American critics on equal terms.
Most Of these gentlemen delight in
feats Of broil and battle, and IL Don
Fernando were to go blazing away
dozen of times without hitting his
man he would find himself Slated
over the head with @Hullah's History
of Modern Music" or the libretto Of
the Gotterdaemmerung, either Of
which would be likely to produce i'm
mediately fatal results. He will have
to practice in a shooting gallery be-
fore he can hope to intimidate the
independent press of this giant young
Republic of the West.

a Common Nuisance.

May the saints have pity on a town or
city with crOaker in it! If it has two,
three or a half dozen croakers living in it
it is to be cOmmiserated that much more.
The croaker comes in two formS-dead and
alive. The croaker has moss on the north
side of him, no matter whether the winter
be mild or severe. The moss indicates
nothing especially, except that he should
be removed from the community at once.
The croaker always views his own town
from pessimistie point of view. BE has
no word of praise for any nor anything
that tends to assist in the progress of the
community. You tell a eroaker that much
is going to be done toward booming the
town and exploiting its superior advanta-
ges, and he viii say: ''WelI, you go ahead
advertise it, boom it. I'd like to see you
do it." with a shrug of the shoulders.
ssYOu'll never boom this town.
The croaker is generally too lazy to
labor under an impression. He may have
made some money in his life, but he does
not Hye-he simply exists. IL ne is n bust
ness and is asked to advertise, he says his
goods do not need advertising. and besides
he is located on a prominent corner, and
everybody sees his goods as they pass. Yes,
.sas they pass, for they rarely go in. The

fellow man credit for anything he accom-
pIishes.

Oct. Is, 1929. This is the story of the bell:
At the beginning of the last century the
only church bell at GroSsiaswitz was so
small that its tones were not sufficient to
penetrate to the ends of the village. A
second bell was badly wanted, but the vii
lage was poor, and where was the money
to come from? Every one offered to give
what he could, but the united offerings did
not amount to nearly enough for the pur-
pose. One Sunday when the schoolmaster,
Gottfried Hayn, was going to church, he
noticed growing out of the churchyard wall
a fiourishing green stalk of corn, the seed
of which must have been dropped there by
passing bird. The idea suddenly struck
him thai perhaps this one stalk of corn
could be made the means of producing the
second bell they wanted so much He
waited till the corn was ripe, and then he
plucked the six ears on it and sOwed them
in his own garden. The next year he gath
cred the little crop thus produced, and
sowed it again, till at last he had not
enough room in his garden for the crop,
and so he devided it among a certain num-
Der of farmers, who went on sowing the
ears, until, in the eighth year, the crop was
so large that when it was put together and
sold they found that they had enough
money to buy beautiful bell, with its
story and its birthday engraved upon it,
and cast of the corn stalk to which it
owed its eXiS 'ence.-LOndOn Globe.

knew comparatively nothing of him or his
ways or habits except from hearsay and

many of them to whom the white man was
as much a curiosity as an Indian would be

nature was fit to give me stock of car

among the Indians they all thought it was

my hair very carefully. sUgh,' said he,
and then turning to the guide who had our

A CURIOUS Relic of the War.

Walter French has a curious relic of the
war. 1t is watch with bullet firmly i'm
bedded in one side of the case. The watch
belongs to Captain McGunnigle, who was
a member of the Ninth Massachusetts
infantry volunteers, and now lives in East
Boston. In 1864, at the battle of Laurel
Hill, during the battles of the Wilderness,
Captain McGunnigle was carrying the
watch in his breast pocket when he was
struck by a bullet. The bullet could not
penetrate the watch, and his life was saved.
When the watch was shown to O'Ferrall,
of Virginia, he became interested at once,
and told how, during the war, he.was carry
ing an OId-fashioned daguerrotype of his
sweetheart in his pocket, and a bullet
struck it and glanced off, saving mis- life. 1t
was the picture of Baltimore girl, but the
end of the romance was out of the ordinary
run. When the war ended and 0'FerralI
looked her up he found her married to an
other man, and thus she lost her chance of
becoming the wife of the governor of Vir-
ginia.-BCStOn Advertiser

fell upon the bill in hot haste and so disfig-
