but One Place in Town Where q Man

From the Chicago Record.
A commercial traveller tells this story OF
Milligan's first trip to the state of Kansas
"Milligan had heard all about Kansas
and prohibition. He doesn't drink, but, like
every other man, he wondered If he would
be able to get a drink, provided, Of course,
that he wanted one-which he didn't, as
have said. Well, he was riding on the train
and they'd been in Kansas about a half
hour when the train reached Coulter juno
tion. 1t had to stop there to change en-
gines and Milligan got out and walked up
and down the platform, sizing up the town.
1t was the first prohibition town he'd ever
seen.
"A fellow with a suit of overaIls was
standing on the platform Milligan went uu
to him and said. This is Kansas, amt it?'
Right you are this fellow says.
Prohibition Kansas?
Yes this fellow says.
Couldn't get drink here suppose p
Do you want drink?
NO, but l just wondered If could get
one in case did want it.
Say. come here The fellow led Milli-
gan up to the end Of the platform where
they could see along the main street of the
town.
HE says to MIlligan, DO you see that

What Mr.. De kOven Thinks May BE
Done in Musical NOtatiOns.
"If we are to make any real advan :e in
the art of music" said Mr.. Reginald De
! Koven the other day, lit seems to me
that it must be done by division of our
present scale, that there will be a con-
tinuous sound throughout its distance. We
have, as you know. thirteen notes In our
octave. Now the Chinese, the Indians and
some other people make many subdivisions
of these tones, some of them going as high
as into the forties. The Chinese use the
pentatonic scale. When 1 was at oxford
there was a professor who was the finest
ma thematical musician / ever knew. He
played indifferently on several instru-
ments. but as theorist and mathematician
in music he was marvellous. He divided our
octave into ffty-two tones. that is giving
four to each of our present notes. and he
actually made an instrument a sort of an
orgsn, although the tone was more like
that Of melodeon, that registered all these
tones. The keyboard was a unique thing,
the keys looking like lot of razors with
now, 1 think, in the Kensington museum.
So think that possibly the next advance
made in musical art will be the division of
our octave, rot to SO fine degree as that,
but perhaps into just half. making, say,
twenty-six tones.
II want to say enc thing" continued Mr.
De Koven. land that is that when l pre-
sent opera to the public / give out the
best work that is in me. No man can af-
ford to trife with the public and 1 would
be the last person to attempt it. What
ever l do l endeavor to do to my bes.
ability. One can't always gauge the popu-
lar taste, but it is that which really makes
the success of an opera. The critics may
roast it, find fault with its construction,
Its Hotive or its melodies, but if it pleases
the public It's success Is assured. Now in
the Mandarin while 1 was in China, I
studied the Chinese form Of music, and
have endeavored to give an oriental color
to the score, although, of course I have
tried to make the melodies attractive to
American ears. The overture has for q
basis four notes and the development of
those four notes forms the theme of the
opera. The waltz that rurs through the
opera is legitimate development of the
working out Of these notes."
do you, have any stated or regular
hours of work when you are composing an
opera?" he was asked.
NO" was the reply. II am not methodi-
cal in respect of work. I practically work
all the time. for always carry a note book
and If an idea strikes me jot it down, and
then work 1t out afterward. When 1 do
commence to work in earnest 1 take no
thought of time. but so long as my ideas
flow keep at 1t, sometimes putting in as
many as eighteen hours on a stretch"

III the class about the protecting hand of
God, how not even a sparrow could fall to

ard how He numbers each hair Of every
persons head. At the end of the lesson
Mr. Wells asked a few questions in re-
view to see how much of what he had said
had stuck in the memories of his little
pupils.
Now, who is our great protector?" he
asked.
Mckinley promptly answered the
smallest boy in the class
The Sunday school lesson for the day was
about Solomon's temple, and after the
teachers were through the pastor of the
church spoke a few words to the whole

that the great temple was overlaid with
sheets of pure gold, and the pastor asked:

GARDEN OF EDEN.
A CclOred Man Believes He Has Found
the Home Of Original Man.

the Home of Original Man.
From the New York Herald
There is lawyer out in Del. Norte, COL.
who believes that he has found the site Of
the Garden of Eden. He has spent good
part of his life in studying antiquities. and
has compared the remains Of prehistoric
man found in many quarters Of the globe.
He has at last located original man in the
state Of Colorado and the near neigh5or-
hood of his home. There, in the course Of
his explorations, he recently came across a
cave that he thonght was q promising
place for excavation.
Nor was he mistaken. Below the sur
face be found remains OF men far antedat-
ing the mound builders and the ciin dwell
ers. In fact before he was nearly through
with his excavation ne WAS satisfied that
he had made one of the most important dis
coveries Of modern times. and now that ne
has had tirae to study the remains that he
found, he IL perfectly convinced that the
section he has been exploring was the
original Garden OF Eden.

years ago 10 suspect that the San Luis val
ley had primeval history OF thrilling i'm

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
WHAT POWER mas no SAY.

w Hal GOW EN HAS IL SAY.
To the Editor Of the Evening Journal.
Sir. The following editorial which ismy
answer to the charges made against me
by Or. l.. n. Slaughter. will appear in
the next issue of my paper. Out Of
fairness kindly publish it,:
In last weeks issue of the Delaware
Economist was printed an article re-
lating certain statements concerning
the alleged selling out OF Or. l.. n
Slaughter the Single Tax nominee for
governor, to Addicks' candidate, for the
truthfulness of which that individual
caused the arrest Of James A. Power,
editor Of this paper, and he was con-
fined in durance vile for the space of
nearly twelve hours. at the end of
which time a true friend placed in full
sight and left in the keeping of the
proper officials the sum of $1,000 for
Mr. Powers appearance at trial. Grim
inal libel was the charge II Webster
had been violently insane all his life,
could he find any double-barreled,
seven -by-six medicine, TO be taken in
large doses every sixteen seconds, that
could have possibly made him call
criminal libel the definition of truth?
From all current reports, the Single
Takers Of Delaware feel that this pa
per has injured their interests. It takes
sane people a long time to even find
out that they exist Cannot the Single
Takers of this state possibly conceive,
II they try very hard for about twenty
four hours, that the article was the
greatest benefit to all Single Tax men
here?
"Dr. Slaughter-or is it. Slughter?-
says he has not sold out, or has not
been sold out by some leaders. There
Is a doubt in the minds of probably all
Single Tax men that the Economists
article was untrue. Single Takers
claim they are always open to argu-
ment. Now suppose the article was
true, every word of it. was not the
Economist doing a great favor for
Single Takers by printing it? If Dr.
Slaughter had made a deal to sell out
he cannot possibly do SO now, and adj
yocate reform, stick to truth, and take
chances of awaiting papers in a suit for
false arrest and defamation OF char
acter. Now, gentleman, speak up,
shame the devil, and acknowledge that
the Delaware Economist has done
while not Intentionally we say, as we al
ways tell the truth-more for the
Single Takers of Delaware in a few
days than all of its speakers have ac-
complished during the whole cam
paign. What more could it give true
believers in that cause than self-pro-
lection and virtual compulsion OF prin-
ciple?
"The Delaware Economist cannot
waste time in arguing about the cor
rectness of the articles concerning Mr..
Powers arrest and its cause, but it is
more than willing to devote few
lines to saying that all the members of
its STAFF, from the editor-in-chief down
to the rat who occasionally steals from
its hole, and does us an occasional Ia
vor by eating up bad copy most sin
cerely thank the Evening Journal for
printing the only real newspaper
stories that have Deen published re-
garding the affair up b date
