TIE BAND PLAYE6-' Dixie,
And Sousa Won the Hearts of the
People at Fayettevil1e.

And SOusa Won the Hearts of the
People at Fayetteville.
When North Carolina celebrated its
centenary, the Marine band was order
ed to Fayetteville to participate in the
ceremonies, said Bandmaster Sousa.
The little southern town was much in
terested in the advent of the '.presi-
dents band" and the prevailing 0pin-
ion was that Dixie" would be tabooed
music with US. Before the exercises a
local committee waited upon me and
intimated that Dixie" was a popular
melody in that vicinity.
'Of course" said the spokesman, 1--WE
don't want you to play anything you
don't want to, but please remember,
sir, that we are very fond of Dixie
here
Bowling gravely, thanked the COM
mittee for their interest in my pro-
gramme, but left them completely in
the dark as to whether l intended to
play the loved song of the south or not.
The ceremonies opened with patri-
otic address by Governor Fowle laud-
ing the glories of the American flag,
and naturally the only appropriate mu-
sic to such a sentiment was "The Star
Spangled Banner which the crowd
periodically cheered.
The tone of the succeeding Grafton
was equally fervid, but the speaker en-
larged upon the glories of the common
wealth whose one hundredth anniver-
sary was being celebrated. The orator
sat down. and there was a momentary
pause, and then as / raised my baton
the strains of Dixie" fell upon the de-
lighted ears of the thousands round the
platform.
The unexpected had. happened, and
such a shout as went up from that
throng 1 have never heard equaled.
Hats were tossed in the air, gray hair
ed men embraced, and for few min
utes jubilant pandemonium reigned
supreme During the rest of our stay
in Fayetteville the repertory of the Ma
rine band was on this order: Yankee
Doodle" Dixie" "Star SpangIa ed Ban
ner," "Dixie," RED, White and Blue"
"Dixie."-Youths Companion.

Ss& surgical Operation.

The Army and Navy Journal tells
this, story about the late DR.. Lewis A.
Sayre of New York city:
a"When young medical student at
the College of Physicians and Surgeons
in New York, one of the operating ply
sicians was about to cut off an Irish
mans leg, but before beginning the OPP
Grafton gave long talk to the students
on amputation. The Irishman lay on
the operating table in full possession
of his faculties, and as he listened to
the discourse he grew whittier and whit
err. & Finally he jumped from the oper-
ating table. crying: Get me me breech-
es,. be gobi I'll die with me leg on
And with that he was out of the room.
"Dr. Sayre found him several days
later with his knee badly swollen. The
young doctor promptly cut open the
knee, but saved the leg. One day he
had no lint to bind the wound, so he
used the tow stufing sticking out of an
old horsehair sofa. When he called
again. he found the wound so much i'm
proved that he reasoned that tow dip
ped in Peruvian balsam would not only
disinfect wound, but would keep it
free from pus-
s'This was the foundation of one OF
the most satisfactory successes he ever
had in surgery. 1t was the means Of
introducing into the army the use Of
tarred hemp. or oakum, as dressing
for wounds"

LIMITED DIVORCES AT CHICAGO.
Hundreds of Hebrews Living Apart in Ig-
norauce of Illinois Law

Chicago, Jan. 26.-According to the
testimony given before Justice Dooley
yesterday by Jewish tailor named
Steinfeld hundreds of couples iq Chi
cago. and especially residents of the
Ghetto" are living apart in the be
lief that they have been legally sepa-
rated. Steinfeld was arrested for wife
abandonment after his wife had dis
covered athat the legal-looking docu-
ment which they both had signed un-
der the impression that it permitted
them to separate was invalid.
The document was issued by a To-
cal banker, real estate agent, proprietor
of deposit vaults, and an assistant to
a judge of the circuit court, and bears
his notarial seal. Judge Dooley re-
fused to recognize the document and
the case was continued. Steinfelds
lawyers state that Austrian and Rus
sian divorces of this character are
recognized as legal. According to the
letter of the document it is not di-
vorce. but an authorization for the
couple to live separate: it does not au-
thorize either TO marry any one else.

TEN NOVELS.
THE CHIEF PUBLICATIONS OF THE FREDERICK \.
STOKES COMPANY.

Fiction Is the strongest feature in the recent
and forthcoming publications of the Frederick y.
Stokes Company. Eden PhilpOtts, author of
Lying Prophets" has a new collection Of stories
called The Striking Hours the scene of which
is laid as usual in Devonshire. The House Of
Romance is collection Of stories 10y EgertOn
Castle Give Holland has "AIousme" a Japan
novel. John oliver Hobbes's new novel is
entitled THE Serious Wooing." Prince Rupert
the Buccaneer." by Cutcliffe Hyne is tale of
the Spanish Main, when that lily defined water
was bounded by pirates. Albert Knross has a
novel of society called "Philbrick Howell" and
George Trmbe Davidson has written another
society story, of NewYork and Paris, the open
ing being the great fire in the Charity
Bazaar. in Paris; ii is called THE Moderns."
The new romance by Arthur w. Marchmont. au-
thor of by Right of sword and "A Dash for a
Throne" is entitled I'm the Name of a Woman"
The Silver SkuI' is $. r. Crocketts latest
story Your Uncle Lew" as one might guess
from the title, is the story of "a natural born
American" by Charles r. Sherlock. The roman
tic history of Maryland is too tempting to be
resisted, and "A Maryland Manor" by Frederic
Emory. is the story of plantation aristocracy
and it's fall, as illustrated in the annals of that
State prior to the Civil War.
OF q more serious character are two nature
books. to be issued by this firm "Our Ferns in
Their Haunts," by Willard Nelson Clute. is a
guide to all the native species of ferns. Mr.
Clute is the Editor Of The Fern Bulletin" and
author of The Flora of the Upper SusQue-
hanna" Southern Wild Flowers and Trees"
with a treatise on shrubs, vines and various
forms of growth found In the mountains middle
districts and the low country of the South by
Alice Lounsberry and Mrs. Ellis Rowan, is an
nOunced the first popular work on the sub
Ject. There are sixteen coOred plates and one
hundred or more full page engravings. ''The
Last Confessions of Marie Bashkirtseff" with
her correspondence with Guy de Maupassant
promises to reawaken the interest aroused by
this Russian girl some years ago by her Jour
nal" Another book of interest TO American
readers is Julian Ralph's IAN American with

The traits of the central figure are indubitably

More than one recent novelist dealing with
