sCHUBERT's SAD LIFE.
81 Shall Have to Sneak From Door t.
Door to Beg My Bread"


Door to Beg My Bread"
One of the bitterest disappointments
in Schubert's life was Goethe's indiffer-
ence. In 1918 he sent selection of his
compositions to the poets songs to Wei
mar. What precious pearls of music
were among the collection-thc songs
of "Mignon' and "The Harpist, those
from Faust" the sad melodies Long
ing" "Nightsong," 1.-THE Wanderers
Nightsong,' 1.-THE Earl King, - "Hai-
deroslein," "The Fisherman" "Tho
Bard, {" "The King of Thule" and tho
music to ''Claudine Of Villa Bella.
Goethe, who had an ear only for the
stiff compositions of Zumsteeg and Rein
mart, then in fashion i'll Weimar, took,
no notice of Schubert's music and left
his letter unanswered. Not until 1890
after Schubert s death--did Goethe learn
to appreciate the extraordinary value of
the compositions that lay neglected in
his drawer. 1t was then that Wilhelmine
Schroeder Devrient sang '"The Earl
King" to him.
1t was Schubert's greatest delight to
make some little excursion with his
friends to the picturesquely situated vii
lagos i'll the Wilnerwald or OH the Kah-
lenbcrg, and it was i'll the arbors OF the
small inns, with n glass of pure country
wine before him, that inspiration came
most easily. But even these modest de-
lights were imbittcred by the malice
that pictured him as drunkard who
composed his songs when he was full of
wine. 1t is an absolute fact that he did
tnf f1,f,4 81. H.. e 4
under the saddcst circumstances Ho
composed the greater part of the Mil
Ter Songs" while he was lying i'll in
hospital i'll 1928 He was quite right
when he wrote to his friend Kuppel-
Wiser i'll March, 1924, 'Those of my
compositions which have been inspired
by pain seem to please people best :"
And i'll IL letter to Bauernfeld he COM
planned: what will become of poor me?
Like Goethe's harp player, shall have
to sneak from door to door and beg my
bread. The only ray of light that fell
into his dark life was when, through
the kindness of Count Johann Ester
hays manager, Ungcr, the father of
the famous prlma donna, Unger-Saba-
tier, he was appointed music master in
the counts household in Zelecs where
he spent some happy summers, the hap
piest of his life. TWAS III Castle Zelecs
that he is supposed to have fallen in
love with Caroline, his patrons beauti-

The inhabitants are fleeing for their lives, leaving all behind. Cattle, horses and other live stock are drowning by the thousands and houses and barns are being washed away like driftwood. It is estimated that 2,000 people are already homeless and at the mercy of charity The waters have already reached fifteen miles inland and the de- struction of hundreds or more farm houses is inevitable.
 The historic plantations of Jefferson Davis, six miles below Vicksburg, are doomed to become a sea of water and destruction. Sixty-two miles below Vicksburg Is the plantation of General Zachariah Taylor. With the threaten- ed rise of three more feet it will be a total ruin. The household goods are being removed, and the stock driven to places of safety. The little church up- on the plantation, in which Jeff Davis was married to General Taylor's daugh- ter Is threatened with destruction. The water has surrounded it to the depth of two feet

CONGRESS OF ROUGH RIDERS.

The chief event of the season in the amusement will be the visit of Buffalo Bills wild west show and the congress of rough riders of the world. Wednes- day, May 19, is the date of the exhibi- ton.
 For period of thirty years Colonel w. F. Cody Buffalo Bib was in the service of his country as chief of scouts. He received the pay and per quisites of colonel but that amount of money was a small recompense for the invaluable services rendered. It has been left for the great public to reward him more suitably in patroniz- ing his really we lderful exhibition, his wild west and congress of rough riders of the world. He, in his turn, rewards his patrons by giving them the most novel and best-educating entertain ments so far devised.
 As musical organization of superior merit, as we'll as because of it's peculiar and picturesque personnel, the Cowboy band, which accompanies Buffalo Bills great wild west exhibition, should ex- cite admiration. This band made a marked sensation in Europe. The queens favorite band leader, Lieuten- ant Dan Godfrey, presented a magnifi- cent cornet to it's leader. William J Sweeney, formerly of the United States regulars, Fifth infantry. The band is certainly one of the most original and interesting features of the exhibition which is to be given here.

QUICK CHANGES IN COURT.
A Chicago Prosecuting Attorney Wears

A Chicago Prosecuting Attorney Wears
a False Beard.
In the trial of the three men accused
OF robbing the Office of the Western
Foundry Company of Chicago recent
ly, the prosecuting attorney, Kickham
Seaman, proved himself to be a light
ming change artist Of dexterity and
swiftness. The main points in the
case of the prosecution hinged on the
alleged disguise of two Of the robbers
by Of false boards. Attorney
Seaman in his examination of the fore
man of the foundry, who was in charge
of the Office when the hold-up was COM
mitted, startled the court and the
prisoners by suddenly turning around
and facing the witness with a blond
false beard attached to his face. The
resemblance to the man who held UP
the foreman was remarkable, and he
afterward testified that with the beard
attachments he was sure that it was
one of the prisoners who held the re-
volver to his face. The other robber
was said to have worn a false black
beard, and the attorney also faced the
witness with his facial appearance al
tered by this addition.
