We EDITOR HEARS PADEREwskl.

I; Miss Maud Hewson went to Chicago
Saturday to hear the famous Pade-
rewski fiddle on the piano. That re-
minds us that we once blowed ourself
to hear the same musical idol exert
himself. We freely admit that we
could not get next to his soulful opera
tons, and wondered why a. few men
had tits and whole lot of women got
dellrlous and broke few corset steels
IN their ecstatic outburst of masculine
manifestations of worshipful approval.
OF course we admit that he was handy
with his hands and that his fingers
were nfmble and full of action and that
his body was flexible and followed
POLITICALLY the rhythm of motion, espe-
clally in side-stepping and ducking for
thlrty-seconds of full note not vet
due, but what we waited for and ex-
pected was some tunes, the kind of
tunes that make men commit suicide
or enlist in the army, but we couldn't
get 'em, and at recess we departed
and went down on Midway and stopped
in front of the hoochi-coochie pavilion
and took in few Persian selections
performed on native tomtom, and
then realized for the first time, and
fully, that after all music was only a
matter OF taste and depended some
thing on what you were in the habit of
getting at home.-Lisbon Cll) Comet

d q WAYS OF THE MOTH. D. D.

When the habits of moths are UNDER
stood they can be more effectually pre-
vented. The moth millers make their
appearance in early spring. They are
torpid during the day, but are very act
i've in the evening. During May and
June they deposit their eggs in dark
places. When 4 moth has laid its quota
of eggs it dies. The eggs arc very small.
and are hatched in about two weeks.
The young worm begins its destruc-
tive work at once and continues until
cold weather. 1t is torpid and harm
less during the winter. In late winter
it changes into a chrysallis and later
into I winged moth. Ii these winged
moths are not allowed to enter the
house to deposit their eggs. there will
be no trouble with moths. The window
and door screens should be placed in
the windows and doors early in the sea-
son and a close watch kept for the moth
miller.
Moths always work in the dark. Furs
and wooden clothing have special at
traction for them; and a soi!ed garment

This land included all that lying east OF

The cediEg of this land was the princi-

Push ma-ta-ha promptly offered him
self and his nation as allies TO the
whites. Had he not done so. the coali-
tion might have been effected. and Te-

This vital service of Push ma-ta has,
at such 4 critical time, was never for

with every mark Of consideration. and
his death was universally lamentsd.
