Car, Go,dmark. the Composer.

Carl Goldmarl1 was the son of Jew
ish precentor who at the time Of Carl S
birth, lived III the small Hungarian
village of Keszthely. Although the date
of his birth is usually given as 1882, L
have his personal assurance that it was
1880, says writer in LOCKER On.
Most of his talent was undoubtedly
inherited from his father. In the chants
and prayers the ritual Of the synagogue
furnishes frequent Cpl ort,mity for vocal
improvisation, and the precer.1l, Ru-
bin Goldmarll, although without thco-
retical musical knowledge, not even
possessing the power of putting his mu-
steal thoughts on paper, attracted people
from far and wide to listen to his sing
ing. From his father Carl undoubtedly
received his first inspiration.
The talent of the son soon manifest
ing itself, he determined to follow mu-
sic as Il profession, but as the father
was blessed with u very large family
the son was obliged to depend on his
own efforts for support. Beginning the
study Of the violin with the intention
of becoming virtuoso, he for number
Of years practiced as much lis ten hours
day. His income was his salary as
violinist in small Hungarian theater
1t amounted to the munificent sum of s
forms, CT ABOUT 81. 80 q month. Though
the purchasing power Of money in the
little hungarian town. was greater than
we imagine, it yet seems almost incred-
ible that body and soul could have been
kept together for full month on sum
that now will not even pay for al CT

GlLDED YOUTH IN THE PIT
Chicago's Donrd of Trade Astonished nt
the Operations of Young Letter.

Chicagos Bonrd of Trade Astonished nt
the Operations of Young Letter.
Most conspicuous of all men in Chi
cago who made money out of the recent
rise in wheat was young Joseph Letter,
son of the millionaire Levi q. Letter
and brothcr-in-law Of George Curzon,
British undersecretary of state for for
eign affairs. He is credited with having
made anywhere from $500, 600 to
81 900, coo out Of the rise. His appear
ance as dealer on the Chicago board of
trade was a surprise to all sorts and
conditions of men in the Windy City.
Heretofore Joseph Letter has been
looked upon as simply society man.
He has devoted himself assiduously to
society in Washington, New York and
Chicago, and it was the last thing the
brokers expected to see him jump into
the arena OF trade. 1t was thought that
the Letters had forsalken trade forever,
and Joseph was expected to spend money
rather than make it.
Last winter Mr.. Letter chartered a
yacht and went cruising around the
West Indies. He is we'll known in Lon
don, where he has been on visits to his
sister and was supposed to be harm
less gildcd youth. All of a sudden he
broke forth upon the Chicago board of
trade and before the old stagers real
lied what was going on had wrested
fortune from the fray. When the word
went around that Letter was in heavy
on the bull side the knowing ones
said: 81 guess not. The wheat pit has
no attractions for Levi q. Letter. "
When they were informed that it was
Joseph who was in, " the board was
so astonished that it nearly suspended
business to get it's breath again.
It seems that Mr.. Letter has been
specializing in tic wheat market for six
months, but only his brokers knew Of
it. These brokers' were called the cal
len-Greer crowd" 1t was known that
they were acting for somebody with
plenty of money, but no one suspected
that it was for Joseph Letter Suddenly
he burst upon them-this young man
whom they had considered merely
dancing man''-and he calmly walked
off with the spoils of war. Evidently
he will inherit something more than his
fathers money-to Wit, his business
ability. This winter Joseph can buy
steam yacht of his own to go cruising
in, if he cares TO, instead of chartering
from somebody else. He belongs to the
Larchnlont Yacht club.-New York

THINK THEY'VE FOUNDGOLD
"Precious Finds" Sent to the Mint by Peo-
pie From Everywhere.

Pile From Everywhere.
The gold excitement developed by the
Klondike discoveries has brought down
upon the mint officials Of Philadelphia
the duty of assaying heaps of fools
gold'' sent to the coin factory for assay
from all parts of the country by deluded
people, who are convinced that they
have "struck it rich," says a special
correspondent of the Washington Star.
Hardly day passes in which four or
five people do not call upon the assayer
to test material for them, and samples
of supposed gold and silver quartz and
sand come into the mint by mail and
express as we'll. The supposed finds Of
good fortune come in all sorts of pack
ages and embrace many varieties OF glls-
tening rock They turn out to be iron
pyrites or fools gold, mica, tale,
common sand or crystal sprinkled rock.
The imagined precious metals are often
accompanied by sanguine letters, i'll
which the writers confidently express
the belief that they will soon be rolling
in wealth.
Among the specimens that have late
ly come in are: A shoe polish box filled
with iron pyrites from Tennessee; a
cigar box from Bucks county, Pa, filed
with slippery, shiny tale, such as, in
it's powdered state, is used for sprin-
king the inside of damp shoes; salt
bag from western New York, half full
of iron pyrites; an ornamented small
box from New Jersey with especially
brilliant rock, which is only iron py-
rites; matchbox that came without
the name OF the sender, loaded with
western Pennsylvania mica; box, such
as brass fasteners are kept in for desk
use, brought sand sprinkled with mica
from Montgomery county, Pa; two
pound piece of limestone from Lake
vile, Va, had slnattering of crystals,
and a small vial full Of common sand
found its way from Arkansas.
Most of the finders of the supposed
treasure are country people. Some say
that they found it while digging a
WE'LL or moving Il hcrse, ard one
old lady declared Tat the lightning had
shattei I'd tree in front CT her house
and had laid bare the gold. The assay
ers say that only in abour one case out
of hundred is genuine gold found

How 1ch.bod "surroanded Them"

Cumberland, R. l., furnished her
full proportion OF soldiers during the
Revolution, and when the war closed a
number FROM other sections Of the coun-
try came to make their homes i'll Cum
berland till there was quite commu-
nifty of veterans III this part Of the
town, near the Ballou Meeting House,
where was situated tavern built very
soon after the close of the war, famous
for good cheer in the old staging days,
kept by Major William Ballou, who
gave the veterans a soldiers welcome.
Seldom was winter evening so cold or
stormy that goodly number could not
gather there and relate "their deeds Of
valor done. Many were the stories,
grave and gay, told before the glowing
logs of that wide fireplace, and some
have been related from father to son I'M
til the present generation.
One of these old tales is told Of Icha-
bod Howard, who was once assigned to
picket duty. st some distance he saw
seven Fessians of the British army, who
stacked their arms and climbed the
trees for apples Alone he approached
them, and, leveling his gun at them,
ordered them to surrender They de-
scended, and Howard, standing between
them and their guns, shouted the names
of other soldiers, telling them not to
fire if the men would consent to go to
camp, at the same time ordering the
prisoners to march. The Hessians, be-
lieving that he was accompanied by 9TH
ers and being forbidden to turn around
on pain of instant death, marched be-
fore Ichabcd Howard to camp, where
the brave man delivered the prisoners
to his commanding officer. When Icha-
bod was asked how he managed to cap
ture seven men alone, he replied, II
surrounded them. Spirit of rs.

.... Other Eyes.

Our rs are just IS strong as
they were fifty years ago, when
we have cause to use them.
But we have less and less cause
to praise ourselves, since others
do the praising, and we are
more than willing for you to see
US through other eyes. This
is how we look to S. F. Boyce,
wholesale and retail druggist,
Duluth, MINI, who after a
quarter of a century of obser-
vation writes:
"I have sold Ayers Sarsapa-
ri1la for more than rs years,
both at wholesale and retail,
and have never heard anything
but words OF praise 1roIn my
customers; not a single COM
, plant has ever reached me. I
believe Ayers sarsaparilla to
be the best blood purifier, that
, has been introduced to the gen.
eral public This, from a
man who has sold thousands of
dozens of Ayers Sarsaparilla,
is strong testimony. But it
only echoes popular sentiment
the world over, which has,
"Nothing but words of praise
for Ayers Sarsaparilla."

Gen. HarrisOn's Literary
Works.

The success of ex. President Har-
rison's articles in the Ladies' Home
Journal has been so pronounced
that three additional ones will be
given. These are likely to prove
the most interesting of all that
General Harrison has written, in
the sense that they will be more
personal. His first paper will
show what "a day with the Presi-
dent at his desk" means, giving
glimpses of the President in his
private Office. His second article
will deal with "The Sosial Life of
the President" which will cover
Presidents obligatory social dutie
and his part in crate State funct-
ions. The last article will 60 into
the Presidents domestic life and
portray "The Domestic Side of the
| white House." All these articles
will be specially illustrated. This
will be the first time that an ex-
president of the United States has
ever written of his Office and of
his home. The articles will all
appear in early issues Of the La
dies Home Journal.

our ammunition has not been

tale, and we trust it will serve as
a gentle reminder of duties. We
