enviable reputation as a speedy cyclist,

Young See began his career as skat-
er at the early age of 3A years and
came out as a cyclist about year lat

that he was at the same time the most
exacting and the kindest. the most pa

suasion that made you at once firmly
convinced that what he said must be
the right thing. He was apt to criticise
severely. but he did not spare warm en-
couragement. thus filling the student
with the strongest enthusiasm for the
work and advancement in art. AS TO
his particular methods. he laid great
stress upon producing beautiful, large,

the keys to the very bottom. He gave
special exercises for obtaining that ef-

slowly and very legato. lifting the fin

advised as daily studies the etudes OF

Czerny. especially the first three stud
les. which ought TO be played every
day. slowly and with a large tone. In
his choice of pieces to be played he OBJ
served great Variety, not Cohhiiihb
himself TO a special composer or spe-
cial school of composers.
Generally while his pupil played for
him he was sitting at another piano,
sometimes letting her play the given
work all through. in order to judge OF

stopping her very frequently. making
some remark or playing himself the

The following story has been told OF
a playwright Of several generations ago,
whose dramas left only a temporary
impression upon the dramatic litera-
ture of his age: He had written q play
for a well known actor, in which the
star did not appear until the second act.
The actor complained that he did mot
have enough 20 do, but the author in
sisted that 1t was more effective as It
was. On the first night the playwright
celebrated the event in a neighboring
tavern where several gay young men
about town usually gathered. Some of
them were just from the theater. and
their comments upon his play did not
please him. A fisticuff resulted. in
which he was pretty badly used up. As
he sat at one of the tables. bruised and
detected, the actor stepped in.
why, what's going on?" he asked.
Nothing, right now" was the reply.
This is the intermission. But, say.

"Oh. no." retorted the actor, "that
wouldn't do. It's more effective as 1t
is"

The Race Track Bill in Danger.

The Committee of Public Safety of the
county who had the anti,race track bill
prepared had overstepped their intention
and their bill in place ofapplying to Cecil
county only, included the whole State in
its provisions. When this was discovered
an amendment was affixed to the bill by
Senator Crothers and the bill sent back to
the Committee, so it will have to run the
gauntlet of all the legislative formalities,
and then take its chances in the House.
In the meantime the session is rapidly
running out its sands. If the bill doesn't
pass the Cecil members will have to
shoulder the responsibility, guilty or not
guilty. No doubt the boodlers are busy

The Gin r1ill.

Every conceivable dodge is being re-
sorted to to get licensed gin mills back
in the county again. Every fellow who
likes "horn" but don't want it known,
knows of a multitude of speak-easies,
and will tell you that there is more
whiskey drunk in the county than when
there were licensed grog shops. The last
dodge is to license "taverns" only That's
an old trick. The tavern" makes a good
cloak for the speak-easy, and any number
of them will sell whiskey and blame the
tavern for making the drunk men who
make night hideous, and the tavern will
blame the speak-easy, but never was a
tavern keeper known to inform on the
speak-easy, and for the most powerful
reason, both violate the law and are
afraid of each other. There never was
rumseller who didn't violate the condi-
tons of his license. No man can sell
liquor and make his business pay if he
conforms strictly to the letter and spirit
of his license. A license law is mocker.
But the individual who is the pattern of
correct society, the very mold of form
aud glass of fashion" in morals, SO to
speak, and is in favor of license, likes a
'horn" and wants a handy place to get a
fash"
This same old story is heard every year
about the beauties of gin mill license,
and the whiskey men furbsh up the same
old lies and place them on dress parade in
hopes to fool the people, who, it must be
confessed, are afflicted with short
memories.
