Paderewski's Persuasion.

The American Israelite quotes the
following from the letter of a. CORE
spondent: "It is not generally known
that Paderewski, the great pianist, is of
Hebrew persuasion, and I myself was
not aware of the interesting fact until
the other day, when information to
this effect was conveyed to me by a
young Jewish pianist during the course
Of conversation. It appears that not
long ago Paderewski visited the pro-
vincial town in which my informant
resides, and, as is the usual custom.
attended rehearsal one afternoon in the
hall in which he was to appear in the
evening. My musical friend happened
to be there at the same time, and
while practicing was espied by the
great pianist, who asked him his name.
My friend gave him a very Jewish
name, which led Paderewski to inquire
whether he was a Jew, My friend an
swered in the affirmative, and was
agreeably surprised to hear PadereWski
exclaim, And so am L. The truth Of
this story I can vouch for.' is.>-f

to ease him from the arduous duties of
scheming to make empires and mill
lions, but if she does the rest of the
hard work it is probable she makes the
bed to also save the penny-or what
ever the money is in that land. When
there are guests at the presidential ta-
bic, Mrs. Kruger personally waits upon
them. This duty she will not intrust

band's guests must be served Just as If

may be stingy in other things, but is
liberal to a fault in what she sets he

with the best of well-cooked food. ev-
cry glass is kept full to the brim with
choice wine. 1t is the pride of 'Auntie"
Kruger that her household expenses
never exceed the sum appropriated by
the volksraad, $4,000 a year. Not a
cent of the presidents salary is ever
used. 1t goes into the bank or into
investments known to be safe and pro-
ductive, and unless the pending war

It is curious to note the different re-

ing and dress allowances, says the De-
troit Free Press. Some women with a
thousand a year housekeeping money"
are constantly struggling with debt.
Their weekly bills are never paid up
regularly. but always overlap, and they
are often driven, if they have accommo-
dating friends, to adopt Artemus
Wards advice: always hive within
your income, ever if you have to Dor
row money to do So"
Others, on half the amount, are never
in debt, and yet their tables are better
supplied, their meals better cooked,
their domestic wheels move o easi

of the undoubted fact that some woi

Is it not that the former take mo,

such terrible coughing spells, we not only grew
much alarmed, but looked for the bursting of a
blood vessel or a hemorrhage at almost any
time. After three days coughing he was. too
weak too cross the room. The doctor who lived
with us OIL the same floor did him no good. I
went to the other end of the town and stated the
