The many admirers of Mrs. Guckenber-

account from the Springfield. Mass. Re-

rare pleasure in Springfield. to hear

Museum-a recital of charming songs,
with one noble aria, sung throughout

lovely voice. Her voice is contralto of
good range, sympathy and dramatic pow
err. 1t is seldom that the opportunity
comes to hear anything more beautiful
than the 'Wie Dist du Meme Koenigin,"
by Brahms. Few indeed are the songs
written which equal this one, and its
delightful Interpretation by Mrs. Guck-
enberger was a thing to be long remem-
bered.
There were many other things on the
programme as well. Aus deinen Augen
fiiessen meme Lieder,' by Ries; wild
mung." by Schumann, two numbers by
Schubert, and ''Noch Lagert Daermm'
rung," by Bruch, being among them. Be-
sides these, which. with the exception
of the Bruch, were given in German.

songs in English-"Tm Wearing AVA -

full building and enthusiastic expressions
were heard on all sides in reference not
only to the imposing architectural design,
but to enterprise and public spirit of
those business men who were determined
that Birmingham should have bank
building second to none in the South.
The women sauntered through the mar
BILE corridor, surveyed the private Off
ces of the bank officials and made them
selves perfectly at home in the superb
apartment where the directors are to
hold their meetings.
They were even permitted, in some in
stances, to glance in the great vaults
and listened with incredulous ears to
the amounts on deposit. A department
of the bank of particular interest was
that for the safety deposits. This was
a room furnished with aluminium which
had the appearance of KaiserZin that
silverware that is in vogue. In long, mar
row boxes, of which there are several
hundred, woman can deposit her bonds
and jewels. She may share one of these
little boxes with her husband df she
does not trust him sufficiently.
In the great vaults where the money Is
deposited there were huge bags of sill
yer which the average woman would find
difficult to carry off, had even one bag
been offered as a souvenir. 1t was evil
dent at last why banks have never be-
lieved in free silver.

Shock, privation, wounds and fear?
Lot their hearts are all aflame-
Human Liberty is neari

Pounded by the rivers ice;
"Fatherland!" is still their word;
Priceless Freedom!" still their choice
What is this see today
Through the land where thus they bled?
Subtler tyrants still seek sway,
Sleek corruption rears its head.
Hush the march and still the trump!
Mock them not with brazen blare!
Purge the ballot and the stump.

OF the blood they shed in vain,
While We quench their sacred fires,
And your birthright sell ''for gainl"
