deserve the thanks of our cultured com munity for bringing out last week Richard Strauss tone poem, Fin Heldenaeben.s' which we may freely translate, borrowing from our heroic Roosevelt the strenuol1s life Indeed, we see in this tone picture as so delightfully."- and clearly explained by Hubbard Harris, the contemporaneous hli- man endeavor of our own heroes. We see in motive A the hero departing for the Phil ippines, as announced by the horn, the viola and the violoncello. His step Is naughty and firm and, as 1t were, of iron his indom- itable will" In comes 'slhe contrast be- tween the hero and mankind in general; men of mean and envious natures" like At- kinson, GamaHel Bradford, Carl Schurz and other rreconcilab1e enemies of expansion. To this succeeds c, "a charming love scene, wherein the hero Is revealed under the ban of love-" a quiet little adventure with blushing Filipino maid. Then follows D, 'sthe call to arms marking the ending of this idyElic situation," and the hero swims the river in pursuit of the flying Aguinaldo, while the worlds ring with the triumph of his arms Then E. "a period of proof by deeds of intellectual prowess,' and the hero writes long articles for the monthly maga- zines and two or three books on the open door and our holy mission in the Orient. And, lastly F, when s'hrom the world full of hatred and sensuality, the hero, enlight- ened and resigned, finally wlthdraws him. self into the solitude of nature and finds in the peace and endearments of Sulu the frution of all his hopes. Herr Strauss was thoroughly up to date when he composed the "Heldenleben,' and we have not the slightest doubt that it's frequent repetition by Mir. Thomas and his orchestra will greatly promote the longing for the stren- 1lo11s life in Cook county. Thus we again acknowledge the power of music and fts usefulness in the stimulation of good cit izenship.

 Reggie walked into one of the newspaper offices in Birkenhead a few days since, holding a cigarette box tightly clasped in his chubby hands. He held the box up to the gentleman at the office window, say ing: 'fMster, I wanted to help our soldiers and this is the only thing could think of. hope these are not too small and will help some. I made them myself and may be I can make some more." The tiny fel- low stood waiting anxiously to see If his offered help would be accepted while the newspaper men examined his gift with some curiosity. It was fifty lead bullets that he made for the English soldiers to fight the Boers with. The office man smiled kindly into the tiny fellows face and assured him that if they proved to be big enough they would be forwarded at once to the soldiers.
 gentleman standing near, as soon as the dear little soldier was gone, begged to buy one of these treasures, paying good price for it. The idea was acted upon by others, and in little time all of the little fellows bullets had been sold, bringing sum large enough to be of real help

From the Indianapolis Press
 The minister tells the story himself. He had been called upon to attend the funeral of a wife and mother, and coming home from the grave he rode in the carriage with the bereayed husband. The latter had made no remark for some time, and the clergy man felt that it was his duty to offer some consolation to the lonely mourner, and he was turning over in his mind appropriate words when the man began to speak slowly and thoughtfully.
 "She was a good woman" he said: "she took good care of my house, she took good care of my children, and she darned my socks." Then he drew a long breath and concluded with more emphasis: But never liked her"

Galveston, Tex, Sept. Is
Hon. Joseph Sayers, Governor:
After the fullest personal in
vestigation here we feel justi-
fed in saying to you and
through you to the American
} people that no such disaster
has ever overtaken any COM
munity or section in the history
} of our country. The loss of
life is appalling and can never
be accurately determined. 1t
is estimated at 5 600 to 5000
people. There is not q home
in Galveston that has not been
injured to some extent, while
thousands have been destroy
ed. The property loss repre-
sents accumulations of sixty
years and more millions than
can be safely stated. Under
these conditions, with 10000
people homeless and destitute,
with the entire population
under a stress and strain difi-
cult to realize, we appeal di-
rectly in the hour of our great
emergency to the sympathy and
aid of mankind.
