THEY HEARD JENNY LIND.

She Sang Three Times for the Boys
of st. Louis School.
Ii is years since Jenny Lind died, and
many more years since her voice was
heard in America. Yet so great was
her gift and SO sunny and lovable her
character that every memory of her Is
pleasant. even to-day. c. II. Wyman
/ recalls an Incident which Is interest
Ing In itself. and also characteristic of
the great Swedish singer.
In 1919 my father. Prof. Edward Wy
man, had erected In st. Louis a build
ing intended mainly to accommodate
his English and Classical High
School" The enrolment of the school
numbered upward OF four hundred. The
fourth floor was devoted to class
rooms. the third floor being the audlto-
rum or assembly room for the whole
] school. where each boy had his desk
and chair.
In the arrangement of the building
/ the second floor had been fitted up as
public hall, which my father "let"
for respectable entertainments. II was
for some years the most desirable. II
not the only, ball for such purposes
In the city. Between the school au-
ditorlum above and the public hall be-
low. that Is, through the door OF the
| former and In the ceiling of the latter
large opening or yentilator had been
constructed. This opening was prop
/ erly screened from below, but the ven
/ tllator was put In use by raising two
4 large trap doors In the floor OF the
/ school room above. or course 1t was
ordinarily used only at night and dur
/ ing the progress of entertainments In
the public hall below.
When Jenny Lind came to St Louis
my fathers hall was engaged for her
concert As elsewhere. the prices for
admission to hear her were high. and
many were disappointed. In school
one day my father electrified his pu-
pills by asking them IL they would like
to hear Jenny Lind. or course they
would.
Well" he Informed them, "then
shall expect you to be on your best be-
havlor. She Will sing for you In very
few minutes. and perfect quiet must he
maintained until you get further or

In the meantime Jenny Llnd-all I'M
conscious OF the school-had reached
+ the building and entered the public
/ hall below, either for rehearsal or 10
/ try the acoustic properties OF the room
previous to the concert In the evening.
My father quietly raised the trap doors
/ In the floor OF the school room. and In
few moments from below up through
/ the yentiator came the sweet notes OF
that wonderful voice.
/ The boys drank In the music with de-
/ light and In perfect silence.
When they ceased, upon signal from
my father. thunders of applause from
1 the boys went down through the ven
tilator This was Immediately follow
ed by a glorious school song. ending
with a whlstllng chorus.
When the echoes OF this had passed
away. up through the yentilator came
the faint elapplng OF a pair OF hands
which we knew to be Jenny Llnd's.
and then came another sweet aria, or
some song that took the boys by storm.
They gave her another chorus. and
again she returned the compliment
And 20, after three times three" the
1 tran doors were closed.

months ago. lie had been engaged for
some years to marry a Harlem girl, and
the wedding bells were TO peal Just as

time still seemed far distant. The girl
had called for the hundredth time TO see

she inclined to be Respondent. First OF

PLAYING FOR HIS LIFE.
Fiddler Tried the Effect of Music on
Two Big Snnkes.

Fiddler Tried the Effect of Music ON
Two Big Snakes.
There have been many tales In which
the charming OF snakes by music Is the
leading incident. and every one who
charmer at work. But the circus snake
has been deprived OF It's fangs. "Gabe'
Crandall. fiddler Of Deep Hollow.
Pa. was recently obliged to try his art
upon two rattlers In the natural state,
and according to Pennsylvania pa
per. he performed his part so well that
he escaped without injury, although
not entirely by the power OF music.
lie was walking along a narrow road
on the mountalnside, on his way to
nelghboring town where he was en-
gagged to furnish music for a dance.
When he reached point In the road
where It wound round sharp spur, he
heard the warning noise OF n rattle
snake. and looking up, saw a big one
directly In his path.
lie started to run, but he had gone
only few steps when another RATHER
rose up from the woods on the side OF
the highway.
There was not room to pass the snake
safely. and the terrified fiddler backed
up against the ledge to think. 1t oc-
Cured to him that he had read some
where of persons charming snakes with
music. Drawing his violin from It's
box. he began to play.
At the low notes of the violin the big
snakes gradually uneoiled. as IL they
were soothed by the music. and
stretching themselves out, glided to-
ward the fiddler.
This was more than he had counted
on, but he sawed away more violently
than before. Closer and closer came
the snakes and faster went the bow.
When within two feet OF the musi-
clan. the snakes halted. and collIng
themselves up. raised their heads close
together.
Then the musicians nerve gave way.
Selling his fiddle by the neck, he
brought It down with all his force on
the heads Of the snakes. The blow
stunned them. and the musician soon
dispatched them with stones.

A peculiar phenomena Is observable
In the fact that while the nation,
through the policy of expansion. is
growing more cosmopolitan, in spots 1t
Is growing more provincial. 1t is true
that certain districts in the United
States are becoming more aud more
isolated because of certain conditions.
Evidences may be discovered In the
mountain districts of Kentucky where
the feud Of the middle ages Is as strong
as 1t was years ago. Regions in Tennes-
see, northern Georgia and West Vir-
ginia are untouched by the swift move
ment of modern thought. Peculiartles,
customs and modes Of thought bind
communities of this sort into narrow
ness and isolation. Even our language
Is distorted into dialects, so that as in
scriptural times. a mans speech betray-
eth him. You can tell the down East
Yankee by his omission of the "r,' the
Southerner by his CONCESSIONS to ne
gro dialect, and the rounder of the
city by his patois. Communities are
provincial in many things. Who
would look for an unbiased opinion of
the Chinese coolie on the Pacific coast
And yet what people more than the
CalifornIans admit the Chinese to their
households? How many planters in
the cotton states believe the negro has
a soul? Note how aristocratic dwell
ers IN "Athens" relIgIously stand by
Bostonese as good Englist. "Can any

sourian has to be shown" when Iowa

The successful utilization of waste
products has been large factor in the
solution Of the problem of production
worked out by this generation. The
meat-packing industry Is a notable IL
Illustration. Should the packers only
make expenses from the packing busi-
ness the waste product would afford
ample profit. However, the utlliza-
ton of waste, the turning of refuse
Into profit Is only in Its infancy. 1t Is
no fancy, that story of the chemist
who turned pair Of boots into a fine
quality Of jelly. In the Middle Ages
such man would have been a magician.
He would have examined the entrails.
watched the flight of birds or noticed
which way the smoke blew ere he an
nounced such a metamorphosis. To
day the magician converts old skirts
into glucose, makes ink from an old
copper coffee pot and writing paper
from old collars. The possibilities of the
future transcend present belief. A New
York physician says that good milk can
be made from the sewage of the city.
He could furnish as much from the
present sewage volume as can be pro-
duced from hundred thousand cows.
1t is simply a question of producing
the milk more cheaply than from cows.
When 1t Is remembered that the smoke
from shelters is carefully converted
into white lead and the waste soap
suds from large wooden factories is
now converted into pressed brick, some
conception Is afforded Of the apparent
ly fantastic. but really useful adapta-
tons, OF modern chemistry.

Hon. Alva Adams will not get the
Populist vote Any candidate except
Henery NJ. Teller will have the whole
Populist strength thrown against him.
Not only this, but If 1t indorses
Adams, the state Democracy will have
to fight the Populists instead of fus-
ing with them, and this will add sew
eral Republicans to the legislature,
which is to choose the successor to
Mr.. Teller
A hundred Populist held a meet
ing last night at the capitol, and the
situation was Thoroughly canvassed.
All the Populist members of the gen.
eral assembly and many others were
there. representing seventeen counties
Of the state. 1t was the unanimous
declaration of the meeting that Henry
M. Teller must succeed himself in
the senate, and that Populists will op-
pose anybody who aspires to his place.
Arrangements for state convention
were begun, and the members of the
party declare that they will maintain
their organization and fight for Teller.
THE Democrats are getting ready
to throw Teller down." said a member
Of the party today. How can they
do otherwise If the state convention is
controlled by either Adams or Thomas
men? They haven't offices enough
now for all their candidates.
81 believe this Western Slope organ
ization, too, has for one of It's objects
the Endorsement of some straight
Democrat for the senate and the drop
ping out of Teller. DO you think we
will stand for that? Not for min
ute.
We're going to hold our state con-
vention and declare for Teller. and
we're going to resolve against any fu-
sion or other arrangement with the
Democrats unless they stand by Tel
