WHEN PApERgwsk, PLAYED.
New Story Told of Woman and the
Pianist.


From the Chicago Chronicle.
When Paderewski played in New Or
leans he was the subject OF a very anus
ing incident which a prominent musician
of the Crescent City takes delight in tell
ing.
II encountered the pianist and his party
Wien they were passing through Geor-
gla, he says, land had the pleasure of
riding for some distance with them In
their private car. At one of the stops
Paderewski was handed letter from
certain grand dame and noted society
leader of a large Western city. 1t was
the most gushing epistle ever listened to-
and after several pages of what was evil
IDENTIFY intended as a tribute to his art
the writer wound up by requesting "a
lock of hair and inclosed stamp for
return postage.
when the laughter subsidized Paderew-
skis secretary proceeded to indite re-
ply, which. as nearly as l can remember
ran almost as follows:
Dear Madam: NJ. Paderewski directs
me to say that 1t affords him much pleas
ure to comply with your request. You
fail to specify whose hair you desire, and
TO avoid error he has secured sample
from each of the staff en- voyage, to-wit:
his manager, his secretary. his valet. his
two cooks and his waiter, together with a
small portion from cat and a mattress
belonging to M Pullman, proprietaire of
the coach de luxe which we occupy l
have the honor to be your obedient SER
want
There was some uproarious sport in
collecting the souvenirs, especially that
contributed by the cat belonging to the
Propretaire Pullman, but they were
finally secured and the package mailed at
the next station. | have often wondered
what the emotions of Paderewski's adj
mirer must have been when she gazed on
that collection Of hirsute freaks"

Refuses to Be a Candidate.

~EWEY has been interviewed by
l0 a correspondent of the New
York Journal and declares en-
phatically that under no circumstances
will he be a candidate for the presi-
deney. Previously he had several times
expressed himself to friends to the
same effect. but this is the first time he
has talked to a reporter on the subject
He said:
Il would not accept nomination for
the presidency of the United States.
have no desire for any political office.
7 am untitled for it either in education
or training. I am deeply grateful for
many expressions of kindly senti-
ment from the American people, but I
desire to retire in peace to the enjoy
ment of my old age. The navy is one
profession, politics is another. 1 am too
old to learn a new profession. l have
no political associations and my health
would never stand the strain of a can
vass. have been approached by politi-
clans repeatedly in one way or anoth-
er, but 1 have refused absolutely to
consider any proposition whatsoever.
This is final"
The above interview sounds like
Dewey. 1t is calm. self-poised, worthy
OF the great admiral. He says nothing
disparaging of either party or of poll
ticians. He says that he cannot stand
the strain of a political campaign, yet
he makes no complaint of the strain of
Spanish or Filipino campaign. Evil
IDENTIFY he would prefer fighting Fill
pnos to fighting politicians and office
seekers.
In declining to be candidate for the
presidency, Dewey declines the prasi-
dency, for no man on earth could beat
him. Yet it would be a costly victory
At the present time every American cit
izen honors him. If nominated for the
presidency lies without number would
be told about him. attempts would be
made to prove that he deserves no cred
it for the victory at Manila. Dewey is
wise in refusing to accept a political
office. Without being president. he is
easily the first of living Americans.

Japan's Financial Condition

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
From financial point of view the Ian

now are when compelled to fight under
handicaps, for place in civilization
Then they had few wants and enough to
meet them. Now their wants are many

nave not increased proportionately How
to increase them and how to reduce the
wants of the people present as puzzling a

of parasitic animal life and the discov-

the investigations at Washington and Los
