and of course the variety Of animals
was very great.
All the horses, however, learned the
game and enjoyed it. Indeed, it was
their interest in the sport that made it
dangerous. for often when a rider
would not see "it" coming, the horse
would, and at the familiar call would
dash for home regardless of low
boughs and trees close together. 1t
was a common occurrence for a pony
to get home safe, but without his
mount, so common that it was a point
long unsettled whether this should
count safe or not. Sometimes we
would agree before q game that it
should, sometimes that it should not.
1T" had to be a good horseman, for
his horse, put on the alert by his
cautious movements, would listen and
watch, and at the slightest sound of
running hoofs would whirl and dart
off at full speed. Fences were taken by
horses with unready riders, creeks re-
ceived boys who could not keep up
with their horses, and brush and the
limbs of trees often kept them back,
suspended. till help came.

Inc ITO put ones foot upon it" "To
subdue all things under his feet "To

fore, that the twentieth century is to
be nde the rule of a %gynocracy that
the feminine foot has increased so
much in size of late years? 1t Is not
so long ago that she who could boast
of a small foot wore No.2 as the maxi
mum, while No. l and even No. 1919
were not at all uncommon sizes. Now
NO. a is considered small and No. Z
and No. 8 are nothing unusual. "In

1T seems almost incredible to me
when l was a girl l felt that my No.

that l was so sensitive about the size
of my foot that l would never tell any

and have hands and feet smaller than

tend the rehearsals, none of which has
been held, despite published statements
to the contrary. Mr.. Paderewski now
expects to begin work on it again next
September, and to have it on the stage
by the time he leaves for America
next winter. 1t will be brought out in
Dresden, according to the original
plans.
The name of the author of the libret-
to of this opera is a state secret, and
the work itself has not been christened,
but it can be said that it is a romantic
opera of gypsy life in the Carpathian
mountains. Paderewski is guarding
the score as If it were sacred, and not
even his intinates have seen much of
it.
1t is definitely settled that Pader-
ewski will make another trip to the
United States this fall. He will be
there four months, and this time he
is going not only to San Francisco, a
city of which he is particularly fond,
but to Portland and Tacoma. He likes
the American people immensely for
their quick enthusiasm and their gem
eral musical intelligence, and is in
clined to resent the idea that it is on
ly the mighty dollar that draws him
thither. He has many personal friends
in New York. Boston. Chicago, Bulfa-
10, Cleveland and San Francisco, and
is looking forward to seeing them
again.
An indication of his fondness for
Americans is the fact, not generally
known, hat he has broken his own
rule and taken a pupil, a young Phila-
delphian, Ernest Smelling. who has
been studying with him in Switzer-
land this last summer, and of whom
he has great hopes. The young man
is coming out" in London this spring.
When Paderewski reaches San Fran
cisco he is going Stunning" again.
The last time he was there he spent
several nights as late as A or 5 o'clock
in the morning exploring the inner
mysteries Of Chinatown and seeing

l like the country very much so far;

best country for a poor man that they
were ever in, and with good crops this
season l predict a great rush. There
are some nice claims to be had yet, but
will not last the summer through. I
do not find it any colder than in Iowa
and am feeling much better than when
I left there March LIST. l think this a
great country for those who are suf-
fering with throat and lung troubles.

51h bushels wheat per acre and near
100 bushels oats, but they weigh from
As to 81 pounds per bushel, but the

Queer Beliefs About Seven.

So numerous are the queer beliefs
concerning the sumber seven that a
narrative of them all would fill a vol
ume, but we may mention a few of
them. From the very earliest ages the
seven great planets were known and
ruled this world and the dwellers in
it, and their number entered into ev-
cry conceivable matter that concerned
a There are seven days in the
week, seven holes in the head for the
master stars are seven," seven ages
both for man and the world in which
he lives. There were seven material
heavens, and in the under world de-
scribed by Dante the great pagan dead
who were not good enough for heaven
or bad enough for hell reposed in a
seven-walled and segregated city.
There are seven colors in the spectrum
and seven notes in the diatonic octave,
and the leading" note of the scale is
the seventh. Be it noted that the sew
enth sol is not always gifted with
beneficent powers. In Portugal he Is
believed to be subject to the DOW
ers of darkness and to be compelled
every Saturday evening to assume the
likeness of an ass.

greatly interested in Chinese music and
carried away with him a complete set
OF Monaghan musical instruments. He
IS going to make a further study IN
this direction, and it is safe to saw
that he will put the results to musical
uses.
When P~aderewski left the United
States the last time he was almost a
wreck from overwork. He has re-
covered completely and is today in
better condition han ever before. Ills
eye is bright and his hand is firm.
1t was the consensus of musical opin-
ION In London at the end of the sea-
son just closed here that he had never
played so we'll before, having shown
marked increase in strength and
breadth.
At any rate the furore over him was
remarkable. His final recital here was
an afterthought, intended as a sort of
overflow meeting for those who
couldn't crowQ into the other perform
ances. 1t was announced for the first
time on a Saturday night, and by the
next Monday night only four balcony
seats were left in st. James hall.
Women were in line for hours to get
standing tickets, and many were
crowded out altogether. The receipts
were double the sum Rubinstein took
IN the last time he was here. AS in
America, the enthusiasm amounted al
most to rapture.
One reason for Paderewski's good
condition is that he smokes only ten
or twelve cigarettes a day now. He
used to smoke too many. He was al
ways abstemious enough in the matter
of drink, but now he takes nothing al
much of that. He practices at his pi-
ano four hours regularly every day of
his life, and that of itself makes a good
bit of physical exercise. Besides that
he is a great admirer of Shadows
physical training system, and takes
some of the strong mans prescribed
exercises every day. He and Sandow
are good friends. Hugo Gorlitz, who
is the pianist's alter ego, is taking les
SOM of Sandow himself, and expects to
be strong enough some day to restrain
his companion from giving away all of
his money. Paderewski's private ben
efactions have mounted up into the
lens of thousands of dollars, and Cor
litz thinks it a shame that a man who
works so hard can't be induced to keep
more of the money he earns for a COM
Portable old age.
Gorlitz, who is a sort of Sir Fan
els Knollys to Paderewski, and general
guide, philosopher and friend, is be-
coming a billiard shark owing to long
and hard practice with the pianist,
whose favorite amusement is billiards.
Two hours a day Is the rule, and
Paderewski is the better player. He
goes in for billiards lust as thoroughly

place now, but the musician is going
to make of it a garden of delight. He
Is putting his heart into the enterprise
because the farm is intended primarily
for his hapless and helpless boy of II
years, who has never had the use OF
his arms or nls legs, and has to be car
ried about like a child. His father
cares more for him than for anything
else in the world, and it was the pi-
anist's idea that the boy would be
amused and occupied by superintend-
Ing the work on the new farm.

Galician home is finished ~Paderewski
Is going to give up his cottage on the

remaining ambition in life-the COM
position of music that will not be for
gotten even when his fame as a plan

sition has been his much-talked-of OPP

NEW HIDE-AND. SEEK.
WESTERN GAME FOR Boys AND
PONIES.
Hard Runs and High Jurnps-The In
terest That Horses Took In the Sport
Riders Often Left in Greeks or
Hanging from Boughs.

One of the games boys played on
horseback in California in my day
was hide-and-seek. 1t was exciting
sport, says the New York Commercial
Advertiser. AS l recall incidents of
the game they seem to me now to have
Deen dangerous, but that is a mature
view, which never occurred to us then.
Our favorite place for the fun was on
the edge of a neglected park, with a
creek running through it, and another
crossed a field nearby. Both of these
were hard jumps, especially for some
OF the ponies. But there were several
good jumps, five or six over three or
Iour board fences, two over hedges,
and fallen trees were innumerable.
Inc great advantage of this place,
however, was a perfectly straight road
along the side of the park. We meas
ured OFF a distance of about 300 yards
down the road from the nearest bunch
OF woods. For this distance there was
no obstacle except on one side, a fence
100 huge to take. 1t was the home
stretch to the line We drew with our
spurs across the road, and many were
the hot races down it.
For the game was to pick a boy to
be 1t" Usually the fastest horse de-
cloed that point. The boy who rode
MIN had to count 100 or 200 to give the
others time to scatter off into the
woods, across the creeks and down any
OF the many side roads, paths, trails
out or sight. Since everything was
clear Off east of the home mark, all the
riders went off to the west before they
left the main, straight road. After
that they could ride any distance in
any direction.
But they did not go far, for the pur-
pose of each boy was to get back
either undecided to the home mark, or
if seen, to ride across this line before

FARMER PADEREWSKI
FAMOUS PIANIST TO STUDY
AGRICULTURE.
Concerts Shelved a Year-He Is Busy
Reading Up Books on Farming-His
Pupil and His Plans for Another Amer
lean Tour.
(London letter.

Ignace Jan Paderewski, beloved of
any other man living, not even except
ing Lieut.. Hobson, has bought a farm
of several hundred acres, and is now
reading a standard work on agricul-
ture as diligently and thoughtfully as
he does everything else to which he
turns his head.
He has imported a number of prize
Her~tfordshire cattle and is going to
raise live stock. He is building wine
presses and is going to make his own
wine from his own grapes, which are
to be a specially of this new farming
departure. He has stocked the little
river running through his new estate
with game fish and is going to have an
excellent fishing preserve.
Like all other personal undertakings
OF the great pianist, he has said moth
ing about this plan of his before to
any one except intimate friends, and
in consequence nothing has been made
public about it until now. He is a lit
tie sensitive about some phases of
newspaper enterprise, as, for instance,
when an item was published far and
wide last year that he was going to be
married again. 1t can be set down
here authoritatively that he wasn't 60
Ing to be, and that nothing is further
from his thoughts. His crippled boy,
his piano, his new opera, his billiard
game with Hugo Gorlitz and his new
farm are the only objects of his atten-
ton at present.
The new farm is in Galicia, close to
the border Of Russia, and of Paderew-

Tho Old Warrior Peaceful in His De-
cllning Days.
AS some women OF distorted instinct
send costly flowers to murderers in
their cells, SO did white people seek
out Sitting Bull in his lair, after his
most horrible uprisings, heaping gifts
and batteries upon him, and asking
some token of remembrance in return.
Possibly the writer's own sense Of the
fitness of things was somewhat awry
when she asked lief of the old man to
purchase his favorite pipe as he sat

for a suitable consideration, after much

mans breath, as we'll as the fire which
he himself had lighted-hence a genu-

because of a further consideration, the
distinguished American condescend-
ingly wrote his autograph upon the
stem of the pipe, covering by the act
his whole knowledge of the art of
spelling and writing. During his lat
ter years he offered himself in mar
riage to many a white girl on the
prairie who pleased his fancy, that. as
he said, he might have the more WON

BEES FROM THE PHILIPPINES.

Honey for Us.

VIII BE Brought to America to Make
Honey for Us.
There is one race inhabiting the
Philippines which will be a welcome
addition to American citizenship, and
will be afforded every facility and in
ducement to immigrate to the United
States and engage in the skilled labor
in which it has no peer. This is the
giant East India honey bee, and in
v~estigation of it's work and immense
capacity for making honey and wax
has interested the department of ag-
riculture in a consideration of an
early effort to introduce it into the
United States. Secretary Wilson said
in connection with the proposed i'm
portation of these bees to the United
States that a special appropriation
would be asked in his coming report
to congress for the investigation of
the bees of the world, and a swarm
of the big Philippine honey-makers
would be brought to America as soon
as the question of their value and the
been fully determined. There will also
be an appropriation requested for the
study of the agriculture and kindred
products Of the newly acquired terri
tory of the United States, and even
under this head the great honey bee
of the east would be introduced by the
department to this country.

The Divine Friend.

Every man needs a friend. No one
can live alone. He must have COM
partnership, or life would be a dreary
solitude. But 1t must be a true friend.
a false friend is worse than none. The
true friend is one who sees things as
they are. who p%erceiyes the weaknesses
OF his most intimate companion, but
who bears with his infirmities for the
sake of all in him that is good. The
Divine Friend may be ours if we but
return his affection. We can obtain
His friendship by giving Him our own:

trust and obedience Henry M, Field.

cent OF the lunatics sent to Hanwell
asylum were driven mad by drink. as

in creating insanity we must bear in
mind that it transmits more lunacy to
posterity than to the drinkers of to-

are traceable to drink, and probably
more than that to hereditary alcohol
