There are some vocalists who can
not trust themselves to sing single
note in public without the printed or
written words. This is awkward if
they obtain engagements-and most
seek them-oD the variety stage, for
there. as you know, it is not the Gus
tom to hold music in the hands. Some
ballad singers and others write the
words very small on card and hold
this in the palm of the hand. heard
one man who, singing three new and
rather difficult songs adopted this lit
tie device. He got so used to having
the words there that he was afraid to
do without them. When he changed
to other songs he attempted to dis
pense with the paper, but he found
that he had become so used to having
it to look at now and again that he
was i'll at ease and awkward before
his audience without it.
in opera breakdowns are not,
think, frequent. You see, opera is
special work; the opera season is an
event that excites great interest, and
all renderings are inevitably con-
trasted with those of other great sing
ers. This. puts the players on their
mettle and keeps them excited about
their work. They have no chance of
playing and singing mechanically, and
so their memory does not often fail
them. Any slips that do occur are
usually caused by nervousness.

new opera had particularly fine song
to sing. So eager was she to get to this
that by mistake she started it instead
of one that should have preceded it.
The conductor luckily saw the slip
instantly, and rousing his men, he
cleverly went with the singer. She
faltered little as the truth flashed
upon her, but having the music all
correct, she sang the song out and
earned great applause.

NURSES MIXED THE BABIES.
Carelessness of Servants Caused Z
Brief Frenzy in Two Homes.

The gay, natty, prim, saucy, little
nurse-girl, with the cute short dress
and desperately swift hat with a
! feather in it showed her go-cart up to
the door of the big store, put the
brake on and left her little blue
eyed charge outside blinking at the
big, ugly men as they passed to and
fro looking for something that would
or might crack smile for them. The
nurse-girl was busy inside looking at
some rich silks that she fondly hoped
some day might be within her reach.
Along came another naughty, flip
pant little nurse dame, with pretty
wavy hair and a bold desire TO be a
fiirt. She saw something in the big
window that she thought she ought to
look at long enough to form an idea
about such things so as to tell her
chum a plausible story. So she
trundled her soft-faced little cherub
charge up alongside the other babe
and entered the dazzling interior of
the big store. She was soon oblivious
to everything save her painful desire
to own one of these swell costumes
that go only to the grand DANES man
sion.
The first little short-skirted nurse
hurried out of the store when one OF
the handsome clerks told her that ii
was after 5 o'clock, and she thought.
lessly whirled off with the buggy that
the last nurse mentioned had trundled
up to the big door. The second darling
came out all in buster and away
she scooted for home with the other
baby, unconscious of her error.
At 6 o'clock there were two of the |
most indignant mothers that ever went |
on record as fast takers. Neither lady |
could recognize the child that had |
been brought to her, and the nurse |
girls were also at loss to know how |
it were possible to make such deplor- |
able mistake.
In the bottom of one of the buggies
was market book, and by this means
the child vas restored to its mother.
who gladly gave up the substitute to
the other distressed mother.
Two very pretty nurse-girls without
references are open for engagement.

weight limit is 1872 pounds and
that Terry still holds the title OF

MUCH BUSINESS TRANSACTED.
Judge KeiIbnch Has Been Busy Since
His Qualification.


His Qualification.
Since Judge Keilbach qualified and took
charge of the office of ordinary, the court
has been kept busy constantly. Besides
the strictly and quasi-judicial functions
OF the office, much other business, minis
terial and administrative in its character,
has also been transacted.
Thirteen temporary and eight permanent
administrations have been granted, three
guardians have been appointed and quail
fed, twelve wills have been probated,
twenty-three short homesteads and two
long homesteads have been allowed, four
hlnacy cases have been tried and dis
posed of, and a years support granted TO
three widows and their children. This is
the judicial part of the business OF the
court
Besides this Judge Keilbach has pre-
pared and forwarded eighty claims for
state pensions to Confederate soldiers
and their widows and has in prepare
tion about thirty additional claims, which
have not been completely made to accord
with the pension laws. Numerous other
petitions have been filed by fiduciaries and
others under the control of the court
which are not included in their resume OF
business.
The March term of the court will con-
vene tomorrow morning, when the u.s.
ual large amount of routine business viii
doubtless be done.
