to afllx his signature to each one Of

The strict Wagnerite refuses to hear

itself, but to be played as an accompa-

of frightening the effect of the intense
ly dramatic situations coupled with
gorgeous stage pictures that are in
separable from Wagner's famous art
work.
The most important part of Wag-
ner opera, according to the composer
himself, Is not the music, but the
drama, which. indeed, the beginner
should closely follow with the aid OF
the book of words, since the music is
usually sung In German words.
The intending Wagnerite should also
begin with the masters most popular
works, "Tannhauser" and "Lohengrin."
He Will then at once recognize the ia

A DIPLOMATIC LIBRARIAN.

GINInR His ErIend y PosItion.


When Mr.. Putnam was the head of
the Public library in Boston, ward
leader of that city called on him TO rec
ommend henehman for place In the
library.
There was no reason why the libra
rlan should not have refused at once
and peremptorily to appoint him, but
he chose TO follow another course.
After few minutes talk with the
politician MIR Putnam asked him
whether he had ever been through all
the departments of the institution,
Il never have. Int I'd like to see II. :"
replied the politician.
1T will give me much pleasure to go
with YOU said Mr. Putnam.
Mr.. Putnam took him behind the
counters and through the building
from top to bottom, explaining the
character and the magnitude OF the
work in detail. He further pointed out,
without seeming to do so, the varied
duties of the employees and the attain
ments they must possess to do the
work. When the tour was ended, Mr..
Putnam said:
I'm pleased 10 have had chance
To show the library TO you. and II your
friend Will I'LL out an application blank
and send IL, and IL he passes the mecca
sary examination, think there will
be no difficulty In placing his name on
the waiting list"
The politician, however, had seen
enough OF library work to convince
him that his constituent could find no
place on the staff, and the blank was
never flled out But to the day he left
Boston Mr. Putnam had no warmer ad
mirer In that city than this same ward
leader Golfers Weekly.
