MELODY MADE HIN HoMESICK
Old American Tunes on the
KnniO IDMnt Him.

A well-knoWn Chicago German
newspaper writer went to visit his
birthplace on the Rhine few weeks
ago, with the intention of staying at
least six months. 1t was his first
trip to Germany since he left there
more than 20 years ago, says the In
ter Ocean, and before his departure
ne gave supper to his English and
ierman friends. In a farewell speech
he told of his great love for the Fa
therland, but he added that he loved
his adopted country with as much fer
vor as any native born. His friends
cheered the sentiment and tossed off
their glasses to his health and a safe
voyage.
One of the party. a German, created
no end of laughter by predicting that
the traveller would not stay away from
Chicago longer han month. lie him
self had made visit to the old home
last summer, and after two weeks of
handshaliing he was anxious to return
I" America, which he did ON HE first
steamer that sailed from Bremen.
II wager a supper for all who are
here" said the one who had been to
Germany last summer. "that our host
does not stay in Europe six weeks.
He'll he homeSirk. or 'hcimwch,' as we
Germans call it. before he is there ten
days, and if he wants TO take me up on
the supper proposition stand ready
to shake hands with him as Il pledge
that he accepts the wager"
They ShOul, hands. and after the
stems were once more cmptied, the
''auf wiederSehen" party came to Il
close in burst of German song.
just five weeks from the day he left
Chicago the German traveller returned.
The next day h" resumed his desk on
the paper with which he had long been
connected. During the week he sent
invitations TO the friends who were
with him the night before his depar-
ture, inviting them to the ''heimwch'
supper. as he called it. The supper
was discussed the other night ,at a
downtown restaurant, and this is
what the traveller told his friends:
ut was my intention to remain in
Germany at least half year. and |
probably would have done so had ]
| not visited drinking resort one day
in Berlin, which is frequcntcd by
American tourists. There was one OF
those automatic or electric banios in
the place, and when / heard il play

over negro melody, which had never
heard until | came to America. The
! plaintive old tune made me homesicli
for Chicago, and could no more shake
it off than | could Ay. The notes of the
familiar old song seemed TO burn into
my brain, and | really believe if had
not sailed on the first vessel that
would have gone insane. That is why
| came back so soon"
Is there anyone who will doubt
/ this Germans love for the stars and
! stripes?

PROFESSOR IN A CAGE.
Canary Bird That Had Given Many
Young One Lessons in
Singing.

"How much is that gray-headed
bird in the large cage there?''
The question was asked of a Sixth
avenue dealer in canaries. and his
immediate answer was shrug of his
shoulders, says the New York Her
aid.
"lIeis not for sale" We're the words
that followed the shrug. "Ile is Il
professor, teacher of music. He
was graduated in Germany, then be-
came a professor, and grew gray in
the service; yet he teaches, and is
too valuable to part with for any
price that a customer would be will
ing to pay"
\ look of interested inquiry caused
the old man to proceed.
''Perhaps YOU do not understand,
but that bird has put the finishing
touches on many a young singer $
education. In Germany, whence 49,
900 canarirs are exported annually,
they train these birds differently
than we do here. Canaries, like some
other biped singers, may do very well

the most stubborn mule in the coal
fields was being driven to the Enter

than ran onto the Pennsylvania Rail
way, and would not leave when a train
approached. The train had to stop to
avoid wreck, and for twenty minutes
the crew REINFORCED by colliery en-
ployees, had a lively battle with the
animal, which was only quieted and
consented to bulge when a bucket of
oats was held up to it's mouth.
Last week ne stood on track in the
mine and would not move for an cleo

the little locomotive off the track,
when the engineer pressed button
and laid the mule fiat with several

"NeNt to pure air we found the

LONGEVITY OF PRESIDENTS.
Commonly Accepted Theory That the
strain of Office Shortcns Life
Not SuHtnined.

| President Harrison's death sug-
gcsts "a general impression that the
! strain of his office shortcns the life
| of the chief executive after he re-
/ turns to the people. An examination
of the records from the beginning
of the republic down. does not justify
this assumption. On the contrary, it
appears that during the early days
of the nation, at least, the presidents
were extremely long lived. Those
who had been through the revolu-
tonary period, with the exception of
the great Washington, all lived to a
great age. Since then the age of our
presidents at their deaths has been
somewhat reduced, but the same is
largely true of both business and
public men who have been subjected
! TO the strain of the modern rate of
life.
| OF the % presidents who preceded
Mckinley only four died during their
term of Office, writes the Washington
