sousA AND LIS BAND.

The catholicity of John Philip Sou
sa's musical taste is admirably exem-
pliiled in the arrangement of his pro-
grams. A thorough believer in the
principle of giving the public what it
wants and is willing to pay for, Sousa
possesses in addition the happy fac
ulty of being able to cater at once to
the most widely diverse tastes. Here
is a bit of classic music for the lovers
of the substantials in music, there a
dainty melody for those who love the
lighter forms of musical expressions;
here the stirring rhythm of a Sousa
march and there languOrous swing Of
the dreamy waltz. A glance at the SUI
perb program that Sousa will present
here on Friday afternoon, January 21,
when his great band will give a single
concert at the Grand Opera House, will
show how the great bandmaster con-
suits the wishes OF the many. Maud
Reese Davies, soprano, and Jennie
Hoyle. violiniste. accompany Sousa
and his band as soloists on the present
tour.

his endeavors to reach the stairway, he
wandered ciit into the shed kitchen.
Thus far his legs had kept him up, but
at the most critical juncture and just
when he needed them, they went back
on him and he fell to the floor When
he rcgained his feet he had the coal
scuttle hanging from his neck the
bail having slipped over his head. Too
drunk to proceed intelligently to rid
himself of the incumbrance, he ranted
around the kitchen hunting for the
door, only TO bring up against the wall

awoke the family. Lights and weapons
were secured and the wife headed the
procession to the kitchen. What they
beheld can be better imagined than
told. The unfortunate man would

yoke was removed and the unfortunate
