Daniel Mayer, the English musical
agent, says America is the only country
besides England where great money"
is made by musicians. On the cOnti-
nent charges for admission are small,
and there are not so many big halls,
consequently artists have to be content
with lesser receipts. 4 fee of f50 is
considered as something very high in
deed for a single performance across
the water" The musical life is very
uncertain one. 1t seems. Only those
who have made really big names make
big incomes. A great many big" vocal
lists and instrumentalists receive pupils,
even while at the height of their popu-
larity. Musical suns are apt to set
very suddenly. Singers go out of fash
ion quickly and do not get into fashion
again

Chicago Tribune: Edward Stanley,
of Williamsburg, has tired Of doing
housework and seeks a respite from
taking care of the chilrren. This en-
tirely commendable desire, however,
has landed Mr. Stanley in jail, because
he so far forget his customary meek
ness as TO inform Mrs. Stanley that he
would cut her throat. 1t appears that
Mr.. Stanley had no intention of COM
hitting any act of violence and referred
to Mrs. Stanley's throat entirely in a
Pickwickian sense, merely Ito have
something TO say" He had reached the
last feather" stage and chose an in
felicitous method of expressing his dec
laratiOn of independence. There was
something pathetic in his explanation
10 the Judge. "Other married men go
around with the boys" said he, but
I've been compelled to mind my own
children. I've washed and dressed
them; kept them always looking neat
Then I've done all the cooking for the
whole family, besides the cleaning. Not
until everything was finished, every
thing looking tNm and neat. and the
children having their afternoon nap,
did / get chance to read novel and
smoke my pipe" Mr. Stanley does not
ask for much. All he wants is a chance
TO work in a manner befitting his sex
and his aspirations to renew his con-
vivial association with 1.-The boys"

James Bell also q resident of the
Quaker City, owns pretty maltese cat.
whose only fault Is kleptomania.
Madge Is the cats name. While ar.
Bell was eating his supper a few even
ings ago he was startled by q funny
noise on the stairs. Running in the
direction Of the racket he beheld the
thleving cat coming down the stairs
with his gold chain in her mouth, while
the watch was humping each step, evi-
IDENTITY much to the delight Of the cat.
Quickly selling his timepiece, Mr.. Bell
made a lunge for the cat, but Madge
escaped. Lately the family had been
at loss to know what Madge had done
with her kittens. Their wherea bouts
were discovered by Mr.. Bell, who
found the tiny creatures cozily nestled
IN his new silk hat.
