which she had ridden up town and
darted through the driZZle toward her
home, few doors from the corner. She
had no umbrella. y Willie of the char

May l see you home, miss?' he in

alongside of her.
She turned to him with a dazzling
smile.

Masonic Souvenir of His Fighting
Ability Owned In Chicago.

4 part of the Masonic altar that once
brought the Scottish bard, Robert

lodge is now in the possession of
Chicago woman, Mrs. w. +. Punch OF
1850 Sidney avenue, and is treasured
by her as a family heirloom
Mrs. Funch is by birth n Canadian
of Scotch origin. In the days when her
grandfather, George MacRae, was
young he attended the same lodge as
did Bobbie Burns and was one of the
.'lichts" of the town. One night before
lodge meeting the poet and MacRae
sat long together
Bousing ut the nappy,
And gettin fou and unco happy
And then arm in arm they Sauntered
slowly to the room where the Masons
We're wont to assemble
All would have gone we'll had not
Burns desired to show his Masonic
brethren how good a pugilist he was,
Hnd he let go heavy undercut at Mac
Rae, arousing the latter's fighting
blood. and the bout began, which re-
suited in MacRae being felled to the
floor and Bobbie Burns throwing the
four legged altar, or stand, at him as
he attempted to rise.
Luckily he missed him aim. and the
stand struck violently against the wall,
SCATTERING completely one of the legs
At the following meeting the two
friends We're brought before the order
for trial. \ fine was imposed on them,
and they We're made TO replace the al
tar. The broken one was thrown out.

the stand with him.

Prevalence of the Living Habit.

Did you ever count up how many

Outside and away from the music of the
people Sousa would make a con ductor
Of force and distinction in music of
large and deep growth. but while he
varies his programme judiciously and
interestingly with compositions of seri-
Gus purpose, the distinguishing feature
OF the bands work is by all means popu-
lar music, and justly and admirably 30.
He has culled this music judiciously,
has himself contributed to its many
works Of genuine distinction in their
way, and always Of spontaneous vigor
aud melodic freshness, aud thereupon
he has alwsy directed his programmes
with tact, refinement and inspiring
glow which, all in all, have raised the
level Of popular music beyond its history
OF more than one generation. Sousa
set for himself standard not too high
or too low; he has succeeded in elevat-
ing this standard beyond it's average
possibilities, and in giving the public
programmes which the old military band
lover finds yet within his ken, while the
musician neod not feel ashamed to en-
Joy anything so efficiently and artistic
ally performed.
